Marshal Law (DVD)

Advantages: Built in effects
Disadvantages: None that I can see

...When I first took up guitar a few years ago I was advised that a good amplifier was probably even more important than a good guitar. Typical of me, I bought the good guitar first and realised I should have taken the advice I was given. When the truth finally dawned on me I decided I had to go for something a little bit special, and there's no bigger name than Marshall. After a lot of research and drooling over Marshall websites and catalogues I finally decided this was the beast for me. I'd been using a Vox Cambridge 15 valve amp which was small but had that lovely warm tone that everyone said you can only get from valve amps.

...After seeing this movie at the cinema's, when it was released, and then seeing it a second time on DVD at the weekend, i realized it's a classic Jennifer Lopez Movie. Jennifer, who plays Charlie, is a single girl, who has different jobs, some including Dog walking and waitressing.One day Charlie meets Kevin, a doctor, and everything seems to be going fine with them, until Charlie meets his mother... Jane Fonda plays "Monster-in-law", Viola. Viola does everything in her power to break the two up, by trying to make Charlie realize that she doesn't fit into her or her son's lifestyle. But nothing she can do or say, stops them being together, or getting married, so at the end of the movie we see a typical Jennifer Lopez ending... they get married, and everything's happily ever after. Many have their own views on the movie, some think... Read review
