Roger Federer

Advantages: Great Forehand, Simple Game and Consistent
Disadvantages: None

Well. Where do you start? Roger Federer has the potential to be the Pele of tennis. He may become the greatest ever player to hold a tennis racket. He already has three Grand Slam titles to his name and in the future he should add many more. Roger Federer is a rather unique tennis player. In many ways, his game and style of play is so simple, which makes mistakes minimal and makes succes at the highest level much easier. However, his forehand is probably the best in the world of mens tennis and possibly the most unique. He has incredible supination around his wrist joint which allows him to generate incredible pace and power, as well unreal angles and accuracy. With this power and accuracy, Federer does have a huge amount of consistency. He doesn't give away many points to his opponents, making beating him that bit more difficult ...

Review of Roger Federer

Thomas The Tank Engine and Friends

Advantages: Great stories, good engines, educational experience
Disadvantages: The new stories aren't as good

I am now 17 years old, but I do still love watching the odd Thomas The Tank Engine story very ocassionly. I grew up watching it and I had, and still do have, most of the videos and story books. I was pleased to discover that the programmes and concept is still going strong.

Roger Dodger, What A Guy

Advantages: Great script, good acting, interesting direction, nothing like American Pie
Disadvantages: The title lets it down, do men like this exist?

When I read the TV-guide synopsis for Roger Dodger, I thought it would be along the lines of a fluffy, teenage sex comedy a la 'American Pie' and I could hardly be forgiven for that assumption - 'When 16-year old Nick (Jesse Eisenberg) visits his uncle Roger (Campbell Scott) in the big city determined to lose his virginity, he is given lessons in life and love.' What the TV-guide didn't mention was, kindly old Uncle Roger turns out to be a smarmy, slimy ad-executive whose views on women are so psychotically cynical, a fluffy weekend in the city turns out to be a damning indictment on the singles scene for the modern man or woman. This is not so much 'American Pie', as 'American Pie-sotically Cynical' (see what I did there?) Working in the advertising industry has embittered Roger's views and philosophy of the world. 'I make people ...
