Advantages: Great cast, good disaster film, some good special effects Disadvantages: Not the best film ever
...I love escaping into the world of films. I love many kinds of films, but two of my favourites are disaster movies (having been brought up by a Dad who loves The Poseidon Adventure and The Towering Inferno) and films starring classic actresses. I love Jean Harlow, Marilyn Monroe, Natalie Wood and the like. So imagine by glee when I heard of a disaster movie starring two screen legends ? Sophia Loren and Ava Gardner! The Cassandra Crossing was also nice and cheap ? just £2.98 from Amazon ? so how could I resist?!
The plot is typically dramatic, of course. A man has been exposed to the plague virus and boards a train from Stockholm to Geneva. The authorities need to prevent the plague spreading, so they seal the train full of 1000 passengers and re-route it to a bridge called the Cassandra Crossing. However, the bridge is perilously...
Advantages: A bargain. Easy to install and used. Good entry level SCSI controller. Disadvantages: No support for higher data rates.
...If you plug an SCSI card into your pc, don’t hold your breath because nothing exciting is going to happen. (Unless of course you have made a very bad job of installing the card. Then you might see smoke and flames coming from your cherished/reviled PC or even, in extreme cases, find yourself moving down a tunnel towards a bright light.) However, once you have installed you SCSI card you will be able to attach any number of exciting devices to your pc.
Although this is an opinion of Adaptecs AVA-2900 series of SCSI card, it is also a general review of SCSI. I have done this because as far as I can tell this is the first review at Ciao of a SCSI controller card. This seems to be a bit of an over sight to me as any number of SCSI devices have been reviewed, (such as the excellent Plextor external SCSI cd writer which was...

Review of Adaptec AVA 2904
Advantages: It is a great movie Disadvantages: none
...really happened the night of the murders.
The story continues to follow Capote during the writing of ?In Cold Blood? and how the outcome of the book changes due to his relationship with condemned Perry.
Ava Kaufman?s casting of Hoffman as Trueman Capote is genius. Philip Seymour Hoffman does not so much play Capote as become him; in his mannerisms and personality. He is so convincing in his portrayal and is well supported by Kenner and Cooper.
Hoffman was awarded an Academy Award for his role as Trueman Capote ? well deserved in my opinion.
Released in 2005
Written by Dan Futterman (Screenplay)
Gerald Clarke (Book)
Directed by Bennett Miller
Running time of 114 minutes

Review of Capote (DVD)
Advantages: Might appeal to some Disadvantages: Lots, the acting, the story, the lack of plot.
...We rent DVDs from Lovefilm who then encourage you to rate the DVDs you have watched so they can suggest other films that you might enjoy. This is how I came to watch Material Girls a film that I new nothing about but thought I would give it a try.
The film is based around the two central characters who are sisters and are played by real-life sisters Haylie and Hilary Duff. The characters are Ava Marchetta (Haylie Duff) and Tanzie Marchetta (Hilary Duff) who are two rich and rather spoilt sisters. They live very comfortably from the fortune left to them by their late father who had created a successful cosmetic company of which they were the faces of. They have a big house, car, staff and everything they want. They don't have much to do with the running of the company as this is all handled by people in the company.
However their...
Advantages: Easy to read, lovely descriptions, pretty good story Disadvantages: Predictable
...I was in Tesco whiling away the time while my mum food shopped and ended up in the book section. Whilst there I came across the new title by Belinda Jones and just had to go for it really, because I think she is fabulous….
Belinda Jones is a travel/fiction author, responsible for Diva Las Vegas, and On The Road To Mr Right (which I reviewed in December). Her other titles include the Paradise Room, the California Club and I Love Capri.
This book, Café Tropicana is about a 30-odd year old called Ava, who lives and works in Bath. She is single and spends most of her time with her gay friend Ollie, bemoaning their boring lives and boring jobs. One day Ava gets the idea to open a coffee shop in Bath, and she is immediately motivated, seeking out the perfect venue, and mooning over décor and suchlike.
Ava’s absent father...

Review of The Aviator (DVD)
Advantages: Big name cast Disadvantages: Very dated effects
...Yes it's not a very new film and some of the special effects are certainly showing their age but this is a pretty major league cast with such big names as Charlton Heston, Ava Gardener and Lorne Greene.
Basically its the story of several people before, during and after a big quake. How many characters change in times of emergency (like Jody once he puts on his National Guard uniform). The film does pursue the idea of unlikely heroes and villians quite well, the black motorcycle stuntman comes off well in his performance but poor old shopboy Jody gets a rather bad tarring from the scriptwriters and plays it really well and convincingly through his character change.
Heston doesn't really change that much, he's pretty much a hero through the whole film. Lorne Greene is very much the wrong man at the wrong time in the right place...

Review of Earthquake (DVD)
Advantages: Good storylines that are combined Disadvantages: Not as good as the original
...with a rather cunning plan much to the despite of his family who are ALL rather annoyed at not going to Europe.
His cunning plan is to introduce a pair of rare Western Pacific bears to the forest so they can 'get along' and make more rare Western Pacific bears, therefore the forest won't be able to be destroyed.
Of course the story won't be that simple, the bears proove to be a bit of a problem. With Archie the circus performing bear voiced by Steve Zahn and Ava the wild version of the bear voiced by Lisa Kudrow the bears differences proove a problem.
With Ava as the 'forest babe' bear and Archie as the dumm, stupid bear, Dr Dolittle realises that their differences need to be sorted before anything will happen between the pair. So Dr Dolittle is given a set amount of time to make Archie into a wild bear so he can hit it off with Ava...
