Advantages: Some good catchy songs, variety of tempos and beats Disadvantages: Some songs very dull and repetitive, shame knowing she could do better
I bought this album thinking it would be as catchy, and upbeat as her previous two, but it wasnt what as good as I'd hoped. I lovedAmerie's first single "1 thing" as it had a very catchy beat and was all round a great tune. I decided to buy the album based on her perfomance from her other two, which were very modern and up tempo.
When i first listened to Amerie's "Because I Love It" i didnt really know what to make of it, but as i listened to it more, i realised it defiantly wasn't her best, and a lot of the songs all sounded the same and had the same dreary tempo.
The best tracks on the album are "Thats what U R", "Gotta Work", "Hate2loveu" and "Take Control". They all have a really funky beat and are well worth listening to. They are also were very catchy and were the songs I found myself humming to 2 hours after listening to ...
Advantages: An amazing adventure story incorporating romance, history and beautiful scenery Disadvantages: War aspect may put potential readers off
I am a great fan of travel writing and it was during a discussion about travel writers that I first heard of Eric Newby. Soon after I came across one of his best known books "A Short Walk in the Hindu Kush" and snapped it up. Reading the biography of the author, I was intrigued to learn that he had originally worked in the fashion industry and, at the suggestion of a colleague, had agreed to try a little mountaineering - this was the catalyst for "Hindu Kush". However, I later found out that this was not the beginning of Eric Newby's remarkable and amazing life. On reading "Love and Warin the Apennines" I realised that there was more to this man than ever I had suspected.
During the Second World War, Eric Newby, a British Soldier, was captured by the Italians and imprisoned in a small town at the foot of the Apennine mountains ...
Advantages: Beautiful period piece with a great cast and there are sword fights guys. Disadvantages: It's a girly, romantic film and nothing blows up. Sorry guys.
Another Sunday on my own has rolled around (husband on a stag do in the Peak District) so it's time for another girly film review. Sorry men! I am realising that my taste in film may be coming across as a little shallow, but in 1998 everyone fell inlove with "Shakespeare inLove" which went home from the Oscars with 7 awards including Best Picture. A decade later, does it still hold up?
THE PREMISE
Shakespeare (Joseph Fiennes) has written a couple of plays, but is no match for the brilliance of the playwright of the day, Christopher Marlowe (Rupert Everett) and still a player for hire who dreams of greater things. Something of a womaniser, Shakespeare has writer's block when it comes to his latest work, "Romeo and Ethel the Pirate's Daughter" because he cannot find his muse.
Meanwhile the beautiful and wealthy Viola De ...

Album Notes
Coming off the heels of three critically lauded albums that suffered more from label neglect than commercial disinterest, Amerie occupies the ultimate underdog position in contemporary R&B. With a new album deal, this time with Island/Def Jam, Amerie is set to break with the pack once more. The singer's fourth full-length, IN LOVE & WAR, features vibrant production from industry heavyweights Teddy Riley, "Tricky" Stewart, and The Dream, and two strong lead singles "Why R U" and "Heard `Em All."
