DVD Description
This derivative Canadian thriller plays like a distaff version of Samuel Fuller's cult classic SHOCK CORRIDOR fused rather crudely to a standard mad-slasher plot. The story takes place primarily at the country villa of a sleazy horror film director (scenery-chomping John Vernon), where auditions for the title role of his new film Audra are taking place. The casting session is called after the film's intended star had herself committed to an asylum in order to properly research her Frances Farmer-type role, then found herself unable to get out. It comes as little surprise, then, that the six actresses vying for the plum role in her absence are not long for this world, as a witch-masked marauder is wandering the premises with some well-honed implements.
Advantages: It's Hitchcock Disadvantages: But not at his best
...Torn Curtain is an Alfred Hitchcock produced and directed film released in 1966 which starred Paul Newman and Julie Andrews as Professor Michael Armstrong and his assistant/fiancé Sarah Sherman with support from Wolfgang Kieling, Lila Kedrova, Hansjorg Felmy, Ludwig Donath, Carolyn Conwell, Gisela Fischer and Gunter Strack.
Professor Armstrong is engaged to his assistant Sarah Sherman and the films starts off with them on board a ship to Copenhagen where Armstrong is due to give a presentation. Whilst in Copenhagen Sarah finds Michael acting suspiciously and discovers that he has bought a plane ticket to East Germany and she gets on the same flight to join him without his knowledge only to arrive at their destination and find out that he had defected to Eastern Europe. She is horrified and feels he is a traitor but she decides to...

Advantages: Lovely design. Co-ordinates with range. Disadvantages: Thin, no lining. Only one size available.
...Having bought everything else in the Mama?s & Papa?s Roundabout boys range, I almost scrimped on the curtains. I say this because even though everything else in the range is overpriced I was quite horrified at the prospect of paying £50 for a pair of curtains that were almost too small for the nursery room window & weren?t even lined! Instead, I was planning on finding some material in a similar shade & making my own (well, having my mum make me some?.!). Then, whilst browsing in M&P one day, I found the curtains on sale for £35 & duly snapped them up.
The curtains are 100% cotton, & a solid colour in the same shade of blue as the rest of the range. Each curtain has a degree of subtle embroidery featuring ?Bump? & ?Bounce? ? the 2 characters in the range & other features such as cars & road signs. There are hanging details along...

Advantages: Has some new music inc a nice end-of-career song Disadvantages: Most of it is old songs (well, it is a greatest hits album)
...We had The Show, we had the Encore, now its time for the Curtain Call. As the expression goes, all great things must come to an end. This is the end of an era for one of rap's, and music's, biggest stars. In my opinion, he was one of the biggest stars of the music industry over the past decade, singing with the likes of Dr Dre, Snoop Dogg and also 50 cent. I grew fond of listening to his vocal talents ever since i heard him for the first time ( The Real Slim Shady). Now for the album review.
1 - Intro 6/10
The CD begins with another one of eminems concert style intros. This one has more of a 60's romantic style music, however, nothing special in this.
2 - FACK 8/10
This is one of the few tracks he sang especially for this album. He sings from a mans perspective about having sex with a woman and how he likes to f**k f**k f...
