Latest Reviews module

[cache-man]

Hi all, firstly I dont have much of a knowledge of PHP writing, but I do have a grasp on HTML and CSS.

I would like some help to create a 'Latest Reviews' module which I will position at the top of the main content area on my site at http://www.cache-community.co.uk
The idea is that I can have all of MY latest reviews automatically showing at the top of the frontpage, and then have the round-ups after this (the round-ups are OK though to use mambos front page blog)

I need the module to automatically display the last 4 reviews (from all review categories) published, showing the following information:
1.) Review title for each review item using class .contentheading from the current theme's CSS
2.) Introduction text of the review (this will include the image, similar to the way review images and intros are currently published on the front page)
3.) a Horizontal rule, or some kind of break between each of the 4 reviews

I will be able to style the module myself with HTML/CSS, and I will probabally make it a different colour background to the rest of the content, and will probabally also use a graphical module title to say 'Latest Reviews', but I just don't know where to start so that the latest reviews get displayed automatically.

So, I am looking for something similar to the way the following display their latest reviews:
http://www.pureoverclock.com
http://www.insanetek.com
http://www.viperlair.com

HELP please! Thanks in advance

So, could someone please help me write this mod.

I would like to be able to display the 5 latest items from Section ID 4. For each item I want to display the Title (hotlinked to the news item), and the intro text from the item. With a horizontal rule between each item.

I will be able to apply the CSS and any HTML styling myself, I just need help writing the mod, as I dont know how to make the db calls to request the info.

Any help here will really be appreciated.
