Sarah Vaughan/In The Land Of Hi-Fi - Sarah Vaughan/Clifford Brown

Advantages: Easy listening, humorous banter
Disadvantages: Not for the young

...for an alternative, and then my husband suggested we try Radio 2, the only station he was able to receive on the battered old radio installed in his clapped out works van. He'd listened to Sarah Kennedy's breakfast show, known as the Dawn Patrol, a few times, and said that he'd quite liked it, being similar to the kind of thing we had been used to. I must confess, I'd never had any time for Game for a Laugh, the TV programme in which Sarah had been one of four presenters some years back, and which was the only time I'd ever heard of her, but we decided to give the show a hearing. It turned out to be a good decision, and the bedside radio alarm is now permanently set for 6am, when Sarah's show begins. The show lasts for one and a half hours only, relatively short for a radio programme, but as lots of people are getting ready for and travelling to work... Read review

Advantages: Good balance of comedy and drama, good performances, quirky.
Disadvantages: Horrid soundtrack, Samantha Mathis.

...The only reason I had a watch of Jack and Sarah was the constant comments I kept reading about how Kevin Smith's Jersey Girl was little more than a remake of it.

Advantages: Some funny scenes
Disadvantages: Lack of story.Predictable.Poor acting,annoying characters

...I had never actually wanted to see this flick,but due to its surprisingly decent critic and user reviews I finally gave in.And boy do i regret it!Its neffect is more pronounced since I have been watching such quality films lately. The title says a lot about the basic premise.Peter and Sarah have been going out for 5 and a half years when suddenly Sarah announces that she wants to break up.Peter is heartbroken and shattered to bits.His friend and step brother advices him to go on a vacation,where he ends up meeting Sarah and his new boyfriend(who is a rather annoying character).The film drags on about his stay and is rather predictable with Peter meeting a cute receptionist and Sarah feeling kind of jealous eventually.The film never recovers from such a bad start and continues to be consistently below average. The characters are our... Read review
