Advantages: Interesting Disadvantages: Leaves some important facts out
The book by Paul Britton The JigsawMan is An interesting book. It tells how an underachiever from a state secondary modern eventually became the best criminal forensic psychological profiler in the UK. In fact from reading Britton's glowing paean of praise for himself, one would be led to the conclusion that Britton was the only forensic psychological profiler in the UK.
The book details in somewhat gruesome detail all of the cases that Britton has been involved in.
By reading the book one obtain the impression that Britton single-handedly (aided or sometimes stymied by the police) solved a variety of high-profile cases from the Fred and Rosemary West murders, the murder of Caroline Osborne in Leicestershire, the vicious double sex-assault murder of Samantha Bissett and her 4-year-old daughter Jazmine to name only a few ...
Advantages: Really funny, feel-good film Disadvantages: None that i can think of..!
I recently purchased this DVD after one of my friend's made me watch her copy, because I loved it so much!
The plot is based on Shakespeare's play Twelfth Night, but is a more modern version with slight changes, obviously!

She manages to convince everyone she is male (albeit a slightly odd one) - even popular girl Olivia gets a crush on her/him. Viola, however, has fallen for her roommate Duke (Channing Tatum :P ), who has been helping her with her football, but she cannot reveal this due to her disguise. All in all ...
Advantages: Excellent acting, powerful story Disadvantages: Dated now

He is off on a business trip with his girlfriend when he gets news that his father has died. Charles is not sad by this as he hadn?t spoken to his father since he was 16. Charles does attend the funeral as he needs to find out what is going to happen to all his father money and property as he really could do with this money.
