Amazonia: The Catherine Miles Story

Advantages: A naked leading lady for most of the film!
Disadvantages: Barmy plot twists

...Amazonia: The Catherine Miles Story A film about vengeance and love all set to the back drop of a brutal jungle. The film revolves around Catherine Miles who after graduating is treated by her parents to a holiday trip into the Amazon, as you do? Unfortunately her parents are violently murdered by a cannibalistic tribe and then promptly eaten. She survives and is kept by the tribe. Whilst there one of the native falls for her, not surprising as she spends most of the movie naked, and he aids in her escape but all the while she is planning a devious and gruesome revenge on the tribe. However due to some barmy and frankly daft twists in the film plot it turn out that? well lets just say there are 'other' people involved in her folks death. A beautifully shot movie which is violent at time...

Review of Amazonia - The Catherine Miles Story (DVD)

Welcome to the Jungle

Advantages: Educational, local, interesting animals

...***What is Discover Amazonia*** Amazonia is advertised as being "Scotland's largest indoor rainforest attraction" and promises to offer an insight into life in the tropical forest. Originally established in 2002 it was closed down again in November 2003 when the property landlord announced its closure.

Review of Amazonia, Motherwell

Arachnophobe Meets Spider

Advantages: Fascinating, unusual exhibits
Disadvantages: Less exciting for the boys than the rollercoasters outside

...The Main Attraction Amazonia is an indoor rainforest attraction situated within M and D's theme park. We visited M and D's on a pretty cold day and it was lovely going inside to warm up even if the humidity made my glasses steam up. There are a number of animal, bird, fish and insect exhibits set amongst jungle foliage and butterflies and birds fly around freely. The insects are thankfully all behind glass, I don't think I would have coped with a giant bird eating spider or massive millipede on the loose. The different coloured tree frogs were a massive hit with the kids, especially when they walked up the inside of the glass using the sticky pads on their feet. The monkeys were lovely to watch but I felt sorry for them being stuck in such small enclosures. The koi carp swimming around seemed to congregate near to...

Review of Amazon.co.uk

Let's get ratty

Advantages: Superb thrash & punk throughout
Disadvantages: None

...enjoyable tracks are undoubtedly of a native theme - Brasil, Amazonia Never More and Land of Carnival. There are two versions of the album, one in Portuguese and one in English and it was this album that made the album more well known, undoubtedly their best work and a classic album in my eyes. 1. Amazônia nunca mais/ Amazon never more 2. Retrocesso/ Backwards 3. AIDS, pop, repressão/ AIDS, pop, repression 4. Lei do silêncio/ Law of the silence 5. S.O.S. país falido/ S.O.S. broken country 6. Gil Goma/ Gil Coma 7. Beber até morrer/ Drink' till you die 8. Plano furado II/ Fucked plan II 9. Heroína suicída/ Suicide heroin 10. Crianças sem futuro/ Children without future 11.

Review of Brasil [Digipak] - Ratos De Porao

All The Fun Of The Fair

Advantages: A good day out for families
Disadvantages: Serious thrill seekers might want to give this park a miss

.... Amusement Arcades I took my daughter into the under 18 part of the amusement arcade for a while and it had plenty of the type of machine where you play games for tickets and swap them for tat from the shop. I?ve got to admit that I played crazy frog bop too and my cool mum rating went up loads by winning more tickets than the kid. Two days later and she?s back to ignoring me again and the plastic crap she won will soon all be in the bucket. There was also a small over 18 only area where adults can go and waste their money if they want. I?ve never seen the allure of gambling myself and feel literally sick at the thought of feeding coin after coin into a fruit machine so can?t say how good that area is. Other Attractions Amazonia, an indoor rainforest and Devils Island crazy golf are both inside the complex but you need to pay extra...

Review of M&D's Family Theme Park, Scotland

Fun Park, Not Theme Park

Advantages: No entrance fee, indoor and outdoor activities, lots of choice
Disadvantages: Expensive. Expensive. Did I mention it can be expensive?!

...area for small children and an attraction called Amazonia which enables you to see animals from the rainforest indoors. There are also two arcade areas with machines that eat cash and give out "prize tickets" which enable you to claim a poorly made pen once you have spent about £10 on throwing balls into holes or trying to score a goal playing mock football, and lots of machines with huge claws you move around in the unlikely hope of winning a soft toy for 30p. I call these machines for those who no know better - unsurprisingly my daughter loves them. These arcades are mercifully undercover - which gives you some place to go should the typical Scottish weather (of rain) assert itself. There is also a carousel there along with a food court which has a Wimpy, a jacket potato stall and a pancake stall. There's also the Bizarre Bar which...

Review of M&D's Family Theme Park, Scotland

Meet the King of the jungle at this Zoo

Advantages: Plenty for all the family to do.
Disadvantages: Could be considered a bit pricy.

.... AMAZONIA We went into Amazonia and immediately noticed the increase in temperature on what was an already warm day. In this exhibit birds fly around in a simulated South American environment and monkeys come close to you. The zookeepers ensure that you are not pestered and that you don't feed the animals as this is forbidden. SEA LIONS Another exhibit at the zoo which always attracts a lot of visitors is the Californian Sea Lions. We watched at feeding time when the sea lions got very excited and ate lots of fish. Unfortunately, all the activity attracts a lot of interest from the seagulls with Blackpool being on the coast. However, this just goes to highlight the energy of the sea lions that as they prevent the gulls from getting their food. OTHER ANIMALS There are many other animals at the zoo including: Tapir, Capybara...

Review of Blackpool Zoo, Blackpool

Brasil - a conflicting recommendation

Advantages: Breathtaking nature, cheap, multi-cultural
Disadvantages: high criminality, bad health institutions (hospital etc.),

...safe. Today the criminality is so perfectly organized that you are in danger also as a cautious tourist. One methoe: you come out of the airport and take a taxi. At the door of the airport a person stands and gives the carnumber of the taxi to his companion via handy, who follows you on a motorbike some time later, makes the taxi with a weapon to stop and wants all your money and package. I would give everyone the advice to do what he wants, if you love your life a little bit. If someone talks about the nature of Brasil, everybody thinks about the amazonia, but the real paradise for the friend of pure nature and animals is the pantanal (state mato grosso and mato grosso do sul). In the jungle of the amazonia the animals hide in the deep forest, in the free areas of the pantanal they can be seen also by the non-professional viewer...
