Circle Of Life, The - Freedom Call

Advantages: Excellent feature
Disadvantages: Open to potential abuse

...Ok so maybe the titles perhaps being a little overly dramatic, the Circle of Trust (or COT as I'll henceforth refer to it) doesn't exactly exude life-giving elixir but it is essential to getting the most out of Ciao (in both a financial and a personal satisfaction sense.) In my personal opinion, there are two ways to use the COT, these are as follows: - Political Gain The first way in which the COT can be used is for political gain, or to put it less dramatically (I'm turning into a luvvy before your very eyes) to seek to be accepted by the community as a whole, thus hopefully gaining more reads and more cash, by extensive use of the "If I trust you, will you trust me" school of thought. This particular approach looks, unfortunately, to be becoming more prevalent since the introduction of the Community Centre (but don... Read review

Advantages: inspiring true story of courage, dedication and freedom
Disadvantages: some violence

...about my life make sense to me?? The movie is excellently done over-all. Not much special effects yet the thrill was present as the story goes. The message of the movie was clear and intact without leaving the viewers puzzling plot. Instead, the story was presented plain and simple. I somewhat felt like watching a documentary than just setting on my couch for entertainment. Heart-warming and unforgettable movie after all. I certainly won?t think twice recommending it.

Advantages: Trying a new direction into dance/R'n'B
Disadvantages: 2 or 3 tracks aren't up to scratch with the rest of the album

...Freedom is akon's third album, which certainly has a different twist to it compared to his last two previous attempts. To me his last two albums were more r'n'b/hip hop/rap. This new album sounds more commercial with a r'n'b/pop/dance feel to it. The album contains all 14 tracks which can be listened to over & over again as they are so catchy: 1)Right Now (Na Na Na) - The lead track from the album which has stormed the charts all over the world. With its catchy chorus and holiday vibe this is a brilliant way to start the album. 2)Beautiful - The first collaboration on the album with the help of Colby'O'Donis & Kardinall Offishall. Yet again a simple catchy chorus with the help of a great dance beat. To me the tune sounds like Alice Deejays hit 'Better off Alone' 3)Keep You Much Longer - A nice summery song, great lyrics...
