Advantages: Good dialogue, good acting, interesting story Disadvantages: Is a bit of a slow moving story
Seeing how I think I did ok reviewing another of Wes Andersons movies I figured I might as well have a go at reviewing the others I've seen as well, so I figured I'd start with Bottle Rocket, as thats the first film that Wes directed and its also the first film that Owen and Luke Wilson and Bob Musgrave starred in too, the start of good things to come!
This movie I believe was written while Owen (and Luke(?)) and Wes were at university together in Texas in the 1990s and is now seen as a cult comedy hit.
Bottle Rocket is all about three friends who team up to escape their boring lifes and pursuit a life of petty crime. This eventually leads to the local criminal 'head honcho' who's played by James Caan, spotting them and convincing them to carry out a large heist - but is it too much for them to handle and will they get away with it ...
Advantages: Cool helmet Disadvantages: Weak cast, slightly duff story
at a story but it never seems really grand enough and does suffer from having weak characters.
Maybe not as bad as a lot of people would have you think and if you're a fan of the 30's serial King of The Rocket Men then you might get something out of it. Watchable if it's on and it's raining outside but don't make any special effort to see it ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Rocketeer (DVD)
Advantages: Pretty and fun bottle design + fruity + cheaper than similar (designer) fragrances Disadvantages: + no staying power + lingers + becomes VERY bubblegum-like + potential headache causer!
. The consistency is rubbish! I always spritz perfume in my hair because it's a well known trick to make you smell gorgeous and help perfume's staying power. You couldn't even smell Wink in my hair - and believe me, I had a good ol' sniff of my hair lol!
I hate it when fragrances don't last and I hate it even more when I have to lug the bottle around with me in my handbag. A good, decent scent will last all day...this doesn't!
THE PACKAGING - THE BOX
The box is cubic in shape and made using white cardboard/material. Both top and bottom openings have the gorgeous orange citrus coloured material; the front and back have purple and lilac, whilst the sides have pink and dark pink. Aside from the dark pink and lilac lettering, the font is white - the "recycle" sign, and so on.
The "Wink" wording uses different fonts and styles for each ...
