Advantages: Nothing to lose, Minimal expectations
Disadvantages: Ageing squad, lack of resources, short on confidence

...Many were surprised that Bradford City received a stay of execution last season - their last day escape meant that they lived to fight another day, and once again the start of 2001 sees them staring into the abyss, six points adrift of their nearest rivals. The recent weeks have seen a minor revival in their fortunes. New manager Jim jefferies has obviously thought towards the longer term - jettisoning players such as Collymore,Carbone and Petrescu in favour of a more disciplined, organised approach. Their displays against Man Utd and Sunderland have shown that althouhg they look doomed, they might go down fighting. Particularly impressive have been Goalkeeper Gary Walsh, Defender Robert Molenaar and striker Dean Windass. Although it seems relegation will ensue, Bradford are at least ready to bloody a few noses in an attempt to bolster... Read review

Advantages: Good story with a classic loyalty/romance/disloyalty ring.
Disadvantages: Too much 'hype' surrounded this film, in the end it turned out to be quite disappointing.

...to the other lionesses in the pride. She has two cubs, Linus and Suki. The life of the pride is idyllic, there is plenty of food and the two aging males, James and Eddie, don't have to do anything except eat and sleep. One day, two strange males appear and challenge James and Eddie to a fight. The strange lions are younger and stronger than Eddie and James and would have eventually overpowered them were it not for quick thinking Macheeba who orders her lionesses to help fight the strange males. Defeated, the two males leave. Most of the pride only sustained small injuries but unfortunately, Eve; one of the lionesses was killed during the fight leaving her cub Flick, an orphan. Macheeba, being the kind matriarch that she is immediately adopts him as her own and allows him to suckle alongside her own two cubs. It soon becomes obvious that Flick... Read review

Advantages: a male cult
Disadvantages: too much violence

...life, and felt some sort of pride for it. They understand this- the meaning of fight itself. And it’s not about the pain, blood all over and broken noses: it’s their way of finding a place in a life. And this is exactly what «Fight Club» is about. Here we can see this, but now it is a fight with another part of you. Until it turns into real physical fighting between two people. One of them is a weak, shy slob who enjoys crying with the ones destined to death and getting happy because he’s not (Edward Norton). The other one is handsome, lucky guy who can fight (Brad Pitt). Can motivate others. Can explode and terrorize- another thing that makes men stronger. If you look at it from the inside you can see that it’s just a deep study of one sick man’s problem. But globally: it’s a philosophy of every single... Read review

Advantages: Very fast Kung Fu, interesting plot, Jet Li
Disadvantages: Laughable dubbing

...General can't possibly have a voice like that. To conclude, this is a fantastic martial arts film, with fantastic fighting and a good plot, I've watched the fight scenes on their own lots of times because they stand out, with their own little pieces. Jet Li is a strong character, not led by hate, but led by pride and justice. This must be my favourite Jet Li film and a worthy remake of the Bruce Lee classic.... Read review

Advantages: Mindless action and trash talking.
Disadvantages: Its like watching a repeat every time.

...At one point I had a healthy respect for this man and his show, his ideals and his values, his thoughts and his comments. Now I feel he is a coward, a money grabbing self loving politician who has no desire or heart to help the people he chats to, but rather gloat in his own glory while knowingly mocking them in front of millions of stupid TV viewers. His shows are consistently about affairs, two timing, and sexual extremes and there is consistently a fight which Im sure Jerry deliberately manipulates. I dont see the attraction. Sure once or twice it may be a bit interesting, but when you see the same old thing time and time again, you begin to wonder has Jerry got enough pride and personal respect in his own show to try something new, a bit more challenging and a bit more intellectual. The fact is, Jerry is loving all the attention... Read review

Advantages: Comical
Disadvantages: Not close to the text

...was wary of seeing the film. In my opinion I find that film adaptations of books do not always carry off well. Indeed the only exception was Pride nd Prejudice. Until this film was released. It does not, granted, closely follow the book, for instance in the bok Mark and Daniel never meet. However, if you forget the order of events in relation to the book and film you can find it a very entertaining watch. My favourite part? The fight of course! Who could not enjoy a fight between Mark and Daniel with Tom screaming, 'a fight! A real fight!' in the background. And the fact that having read the book before I knew how malevolent and manipulating Daniel really was, I could root for Mark with fervor. And Bridget, the main character; what to say about her? A masterful creation that is what! Oh how I could relate to her problems, many I have had... Read review

Advantages: It's cheap and cheerful!
Disadvantages: The Orange colour can put you off!!

...OK, Kwiks is by no means an upmarket supermarket, but recently, the store which I go to has been given a makeover, and it's actually quite nice! It looks like the firm is getting out of the 80s era which it was once in. Orange isn't the best of colours to paint anywhere, not to mention a supermarket, but in recent months, KS looks as if it's getting into 2001, and starting to fight off all those other companies chewing at its ankles!! Nowadays, shelves are kept full at the best of times, and the stores are much cleaner than they used to be. What's more, they have got rid of that dreadful uniform that the miserable staff used to wear. But hey, is this really important? ...Of course it isn't. We all want cheap prices, of course we do, in that case, this is the right place to be. Often as not, KS undercuts the likes of Asda which... Read review

Advantages: Interesting to watch
Disadvantages: Drove apart the best team in formula one last season

...This conflict has sparked many a writers pens and has been well discussed throughout the media world, so there is not much that I can say except my own opinions on it. My opinion is that there is many people to blame, Hamilton was just doing his job and Alonso was doing his. Ron Dennis was wrong in siding with Hamilton and making Fernando even more jealous than he already was because of him, being the current world champion, being out-shone by a rookie. Alonso shouldn't have acted the way he did but nor should have Ron Dennis. I am glad that Fernando has left McLaren because that will provide more rivalry for the sport in the future if we can have three teams (unless he goes to Ferrari) all potentially fighting for the drivers championship. But back to the rivalry. I am on the side of Lewis Hamilton, as he is generally the innocent... Read review

Advantages: Give an isnight into the English team , pointing out the strong and weak points.
Disadvantages:

...Well we all know that the Ashes Series is quite near and how many of us really expect England to come out of it with some pride , well i do.England under the leadership of Bob Woolmer are starting to bond as a team , the fighting spirit has suddenly come back to the english side.The return of Dominic Cork has given England a Bowler wich can take wicket's at any stage in the game , but also a useful Batsman that they can rely on to get a few valuable runs.So theyre doing ok on the fast side of bowling , but what about spinners .Now theres the problem , where do you get a great one from? Croft has come and gone,Schofield came scored a few runs but couldnt take wickets,they will have to search hard to find one to match Shane Warne.So in my opinion if England can get their hands on a good spinner,maybe get a couple of younsters...

Advantages: Great fun for with friends, 8-players
Disadvantages: Buzzers can be expensive

...What more could you ask for in a PS2 game? Colourful buzzers instead of normal controllers, 5000 questions, a host with a disturbingly large mouth and the opportunity to be a superhero whilst in a quiz show! Strangely enough, the game revolves around answering questions (shock horror), and each round varies slightly in format. For example, you could get rounds where lightning speed is required, or those where getting the answer right is all that is needed. There is even a round that involves a pie fight. As well as all of the questions, there is a mystery round in the middle, which can be anything from following a moving card, answering true/false questions, r guessing the winner in a horse race. At the end of the rounds, all the points are turned into time for the FINAL COUNTDOWN. This basically involves answering questions quickly... Read review
