BOM JESUS FOR A GOOD EVENING OUT

Advantages: Good local fresh products cooked on site.
Disadvantages: TV screens.

...EATING OUT IN SANTA CRUZ. When on holiday although we look forward to our Hotel Breakfast, we look forward to having our evening meals out in Local restaurants. The BOM JESUS SNACK BAR, do not be fooled by the title SNACK BAR. It is located next to the Chuch of the Same Name BOM JESUS, so is very easy to find, just head for Church. It is open everyday, except Christmas day, so no worries there. It has about 10 outdoor tables, with about seating for 36 inside. Starters on the menu about 6 items, again small does not worry us as it means fresh and cooked on the premises, also some may consider a trifle slow, again a sign of real cooking. Starters# Vegtable Soup (Vegitarians be wary it did have some meat in it) Grilled Limpets (Similar to Cockels, grilled in their shells with plenty of Garlic involved) Octopus...

Review of Bom Jesus Restaurant, Santa Cruz, Madeira

Almodovar at his most controversial?

Advantages: Colourful, quirky
Disadvantages: Sexually controversial, sometimes anti-women

...Pepi is visited by a police officer who lives opposite and has noticed that she is growing pot on her window-ledge. In return for his silence, she offers sex, which he takes rather too literally, forcing himself upon her. Pepi vows revenge, but her first attempt - asking friends to beat him up - fails when it turns out it is the police officer's twin brother. She then seeks revenge in another way - persuading his wife, Luci, to leave him for the female singer of a punk rock band called Bom. In Bom, Luci is finally able to fulfill her sexual fantasies...or so it seems. Will Luci stay with Bom or return to her husband? And will Pepi ever be content with her revenge? Carmen Maura plays Pepi in what is Almodovar's first commercial success made back in 1980. Maura is an Almodovar favourite, and I have already seen her in a couple of his...

Great durable mouse, nothing too fancy

Advantages: A good standard mouse with Microsoft quality
Disadvantages: Wire a bit big; mouse quite light, feels quite light so feels a bit flimsy

...Before I start reviewing I just want to state I have the new version 2 of the Microsoft Basic Optical Mouse that looks like this: http://www.microsoft.com/canada/fr/mac/otherproducts/images/m18BOM.jpg - and overall its a fantastic basic mouse that is sure to last for years. Like I said in the review title, there's nothing fancy here just a standard optical mouse with a scroll wheel. If you want a basic mouse that will surely last for years to come, get the Microsoft Basic Optical Mouse. The only gripe is the wire size. It's huge, and if you want to use it for a laptop this may be a minor inconvenience. The mouse itself is quite light and some may want a mouse that has a bit of weight to it. Overall, however, a good solid mouse. You may be able to find this mouse cheaper online such as Amazon.co.uk, than in retail stores. I...

As sexy as any BRA

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

...This self-titled debut album is not exactly uncategorisable but it certainly branches off from the dance genre in a direction rarely seen before. Mad sound effects, comic noises, old samples and bizarre loops are all order of the day with this album from Bentley Rhythm Ace. This album experiments with unknown styles of dance music that can be best described as 'mad' or possibly 'bonkers'. This unimitable style that BRA have built up is what really makes the album. It's truly hilarious, even though I don't think it is trying to be, and features such tracks as "Return of the Hardcore Jumble Carbootechnodisco Roadshow", "Ragtopskodacarchase" and "Who put the Bom in the Bom Bom Diddleye Bom"... incredible! I'm surprised that BRA have managed to make every track sound different considering that there can surely only be a limited amount...

He wants a bloody good haircut

Advantages: Exciting
Disadvantages: Tom's hair

...Mission Impossible? I don't know about that, but there are two things I DO know - that Tom Cruise wants a bloody good haircut, and even now, after all these years, that theme tune, that wonderful theme tune, is still the cat's scrotum - DiddlederDUH, DiddlederDUH, DiddlederDUH, DURRDUH BOM BOM DiddlederDUH, DiddlederDUH, DiddlederDUH, DURRDUH BOM BOM Bloody ACE, mate! You can't beat 60's memorabilia, can you? But what you can beat is overly complicated films, masquerading behind a thin veneer of technology to make itself look meaningful, deep and above all up to date - which brings me back to Mission Impossible 2.... There's a mountain of cash in nostalgia, especially 60's nostalgia, so by rights MI2 should be enormous, apart from the fact that there's no bloody spirit or feeling here, just glossy people and even glossier...

Join in the chase!

Advantages: Opportunities for interaction and making lots of noise
Disadvantages: None that spring to mind

...in with the chase and blows his trumpet, the Admiral then joins them along with a very loud gong......... and so on until there is a Captain, a General, a Sergeant and finally a dog. By this time, there is an 'IN-CRED-IBLE noise'. Suddenly the bear stops and bows to the important people who are chasing him, very pleased that they are chasing him and totally unaware that they are trying to stop him from chasing Bertie. He dances and does some cartwheels until finally they all join in with a dance, all following the bear, including Bertie! - Illustrations - The illustrations are set against a white background which helps to focus your eye on the characters which are very detailed. She has handwritten, in crayon, the noises being made by each person or instrument, e.g. BOM! BOM! BOM! and spreads them across the double page to...

Lush is Lush

Advantages: freindly staff, great product
Disadvantages: high prices

...Mmmm, even thinking about Lush makes me breath deeply as if smelling the gorgeous smell you get as soon as you walk in! I know that it has been round for quite a while but it was only about 2 years ago the first time I went in there, after being dragged in by a friend! Why I was dragged? I don't know, because I haven't walked past without going in since! Lush, well how to describe it, it is quite in its own league! It is a store and basically everything in the shop is organic and has no preservatives! Some of the stuff they get in fresh every week, like the face masks, which have to be kept in the fridge at home because they have no preservatives and are on ice in store! The store has an array of items, for lip balms, to bath boms, from face masks to 'jelly' like soap and beyond! The shop is really quite unlike anyone I have ever...

Review of Lush (Shop)

Mujeres al borde de una pelicula fantastica

Advantages: Great film, directing, acting and plot
Disadvantages: none for me!

..., nor does it really give the impression that this film is as bizarre as it is clever, but I really don't want to give away too much about this film or I won't be able to persuade you all to go and watch it! The film is in many ways similar to Pedro Almodovar's other offerings, as all the main characters are women (save for Ivan and his son, though both have little screen-time), and indeed you will recognise the majority of the actresses from other Almodovar and Spanish films: Carmen Maura, who plays Pepa, has also starred in 'Pepi, Luci, Bom', 'What Have I Done To Deserve This' and 'Volver', to name a few; Maria Barranco, who plays Candela, starred in 'Atame' (Tie me up, tie me down) and 'La niña de tus ojos'; and Rossy de Palma, who is a model, and is in other Almodovar films such as 'The Law of Desire' and 'Kika'. So, for all their...

GETTING TO KNOW YOU

Advantages: The music, Deborah Kerr's outfits and who could forget the children
Disadvantages: None

...the end from all the exhaustion! Oooppps, I've spoiled it again. Sorry! Anyway, it is the King's greatest desire to be seen as a 'Modern King', being knowledgeable and also a civilsed leader to the rest of the world. After meeting with the King of Siam on arrival, the King orders his wives and children to meet their new tutor in this spectacular and power drumming introduction. Now known as 'Miss Anna' to her pupils they all get on famously well. This story goes through the motions of trust, friendship, love and eventually death! A very good film. Very musically tuned - plenty of rhythym, also with the spectacular point of the film where Anna and the King come together before falling in love by waltzing along the great length of the Kings Palace ballroom to 'Shall We Dance', bom bum bom........ Deborah Kerr 'Miss Anna' looks wonderful...
