Advantages: A good central conceit. Disadvantages: The satire isn't strong enough, the comic timing is off and it is miscast.

The screenplay by "Sixty Six" scribe Peter Straughan is based on the novel by the same name. The book chronicles Young's disastrous residency at "Vanity Fair" magazine that was characterised by its satirical view of the business and personalities involved. But this version goes too far into fiction so players are caricatures and too much is made of various incidents. The satire fails because it is toothless and doesn't tell us anything new (starlets are dim and publicists control the media). The majority of the gags are so old they could be carbon dated (such as the joke involving Sophie's dog). Sidney is unbearably crass and doesn't have enough redeeming features to make him attractive to Alison or anyone else. She meanwhile is a stock feisty young career woman with a fragile inner core. Lawrence Maddox is a shameless, duplicitous ...
Advantages: Super story, great characters, enjoyable, I couldn't put it down! Disadvantages: None
I do love Tesco's '2 for £7' books offer because really it's like 2 books for the price of 1 based on the RRP of paperbacks these days. Bernadette Strachan's new book has been jumping off the shelf at me for a while now because of its striking burgundy and orange cover, and I just couldn't resist the other day after I had been paid! It sounded like a really nice light-hearted read, so I decided to start it that night and I just couldn't put it down. I finished it in just under 2 days, and I hope my review tells you how great I think this brilliant book is!

Advantages: Lots of bangers Disadvantages: Nothing specific
The Southampton R&B singer Craig David debuted with his album ?BornTo Do It? in 2000, shortly after his time spent collaborating with the 2-Step Garage group Artful Dodger, and so although this has him doing contemporary R&B work, it also features him on up-tempo beats which fit in with the urban raving movement of Garage at this time (the peak of its success).
1. ?Fill Me In?
The album fittingly begins with what was his debut solo single, and since everyone knew him most for ?Rewind?, which features as a bonus at the end of the album, he has things begin in a similar sort of fashion with a 2-Step song on top of beats from Artful Dodger as he sings about how he and his girl get up to the nasty as his partner?s parents go out.
**Five Stars**
2. ?Can?t Be Messing Around?
To me, Artful Dodger?s way of constructing the beats always ...
