Calligraphy - A Complete Beginner's Guide DVD

Advantages: Good for a complete novice
Disadvantages: Not in-depth enough, the website doesn't exist…

...I brought "Dominate Online Poker" thinking it will be able to improve my game. How wrong could I be…Very Americanised this DVD really fails to deliver on so much of what it promises! Disc one is a brief guide to Texas Hold'em Poker, explaining the very basic's like where to sit and the Blinds e.t.c. As I have been playing for a while I already know this and it was not much help.

...Power Yoga - Total Body is, in my opinion, a unique yoga DVD in that the programme will benefit novices and intermediate-to-experienced practitioners alike. I bought it for £9.99 from Amazon, but they offer copies even cheaper in their marketplace. WHAT IT SAYS ON THE BOX: "Power Yoga Total Body workout is a seamlessly integrated 60-minute program that helps you experience the benefits of power yoga more fully. Guided by acclaimed instructor Rodney Yee on the dramatic Hawaii coastline, a flowing vinyasa sequence combines Sun Salutations with standing poses, forward bends, backbends, twists and arm balances for a complete total-body workout." CONTENT: The DVD contains an introduction by Mr Yee himself, who is not only a very fit man but a very mellow one. Watching the introduction, I want to be more mentally balanced like he is! His...
