Advantages: Great album Disadvantages: A few fillers just arnt up to the albums standars
THE Rifles have come along way since they released their first single, Peace & Quiet on their own Blow Up label out of their own front rooms in Walthamstow.
But rather like Hard-Fi, another band that had the persistence and determination to make it on their own, they?re now an emerging force in music, courtesy of their punky but radio-friendly sound.
Fronted by the distinct, gutsy vocals of Joel Stoker, the band specialise in spunky guitar riffs and no-nonense songwriting that blares out of the stereo at breakneck pace. Fortunately, listeners will want to get caught in the whirlwind.
For while The Rifles certainly inhabit that post-punk world, there?s enough diversity on No LoveLost to suggest that they?re not merely riding the wave, but creating their own one as well.
Spearheaded by the recent single, She?s Got Standards ...
Advantages: Feel Good Film , Christmassy , Romantic Disadvantages: Hugh Grant Plays Usual Character!
actually more exciting than the day itself , so this is one of the ways I like to get myself ready for Christmas!
Being a huge fan of romantic comedies and Christmas , this has to be one of my favourite ever films. I think because it contains so many 'love stories' it must be the most 'romantic film' ever made.

I think one of the best things about this film is definitely the music. I don't know it it is a coincidence or what , but it seems a lot of my favourite ever songs are on my all time favourite movie! A lot of the songs are really romantic ones with lots of emotions , and fit into the film so well. Such songs include : To Lost In You by ...
Advantages: Great acting, Gritty atmosphere, Good character development Disadvantages: Some parts are abit boring.
exceptional as she always does and I think she was the perfect choice for this part.
Caitlin MacNamara ? Sienna Miller
Caitlin has been married to Dylan for many years and is a pretty sociable and diverse woman. She is a big flirt with the soldiers but seems to still be totally in love with Dylan. Sienna plays this part very well. The character goes through many distressing times and I think it was acted very well. Caitlin has a lot of patience and even though she seems in control she feels so lonely and lost. I really liked the way she copes with the love triangle but I don?t know how the character could have put up with all the crap she goes through.
