The Deer Hunter DVD Review

Advantages: Performances.
Disadvantages: Requires your undivided attention.

...Perhaps the main reason The Deer Hunter connects with me so much, emotionally, each time I watch it is because it's not really what I would call a "War Film". Opening in the late 1960s, in a small working-class town of Pennsylvania, it tracks three Russian-American steel workers, Michael (Robert De Niro), Steven (John Savage), and Nick (Christopher Walken). The lives of these characters occupy the screen for a large majority of the movie: we see them drinking and singing along to the jukebox at their local bar, dancing at their friends' wedding, and going on hunting trips into the mountains. The reason the film chooses to focus upon these hard-working people is to show the importance of human bonding; how one chooses to celebrate his life by surrounding himself with friends and family. The Deer Hunter never attempts to make its...

Monster Hunter Freedom

Advantages: Great Graphics! You kill monsters!
Disadvantages: Quite Expensive For A Fairly Old Game

...{PRICE} Monster Hunter Freedom is a playstation portable game, which can be bought at an english store such as Woolworths, GAME, HMV etc. for a price of £35 or £30 online. Which is an exaggeration to its true value, as it was released in May 2006, I think that by now, the price should have been reduced somewhat. Even though it had a steep price tag for a fairly old game, I decided to buy it after being recommended it by a friend, and would certainly recommend it to others. NB: You can probably find this game a lot cheaper on ebay or amazon. Now that I look on amazon, I see you can get it for as little as £20, but their amazon price is £30. {PACKAGING} As per usual the game came sealed in transparent plastic. On the back of the box, there is the region code, which for mine is universal 2, which means it is playable...

Hunters of the Dusk

Advantages: Compelling, action and excitement on every page
Disadvantages: Quite short

...Hunters of the Dusk is written by Darren Shan, an author widely believed to be the best children's horror writer ever, and one of the best writers for children in any category around at the moment. The book is part of a series called The Darren Shan saga, in which a teenage boy has his life changed forever when after attending an illegal freak show, he steals an amazing spider, which belongs to a real-life vampire, Mr. Crepsley. When his friend gets bitten by this spider, he is forced to trade the rest of his life so that his friend can continue his, when he agrees to fake his own death, flee from his family and become a half-vampire in order to get the cure for the bite for his friend. This book, which is the 7th book in the saga, is excellent for a mid-series book, where it is often hard to keep readers engaged. Darren Shan, who has...

Hunter Valley - Wine Tours

Advantages: Got to taste loads of different wines and learn about them
Disadvantages: Not much else to do other than wine tasting

...Hunter Valley has wonderful scenery and is home to a large wine and coaling industries. To the south it stretches from Goulburn River and Wollemi National Park and right up to Barrington Tops National Park to the North. Lower Hunter is where most of the vineyards can be found but Upper Hunter also has vineyards as well as horse breeding and racing. During the year there are festivals and it is a great place for music from folk, jazz and even opera. In the Hunter there are several galleries and museums to see. You can get various tours to Hunter Valley from Sydney or you could hire a car and drive to it yourself. It might be hard to find places however if you drove I would imagine. We chose to take a guided tour, it cost us $95 and included a stop off at the Australian Reptile Park as well which I thought was great value for money...

Zoom Zoom Zoom......

Advantages: Professionally laid out online surveys. Product testing.
Disadvantages: Some awful incentive gifts

...~~ UPDATED FEBRUARY 2006 ~~ I joined up with ZoomPanel through ipoints in December 2003. Quite frankly, I was most unimpressed with them at first. Despite promising the potential to earn rewards and cash through ZoomPoints, the first 10 or 11 surveys they offered me only qualified me for entry into a sweepstake or prize draw. I'm afraid that I very swiftly pull the plug on any survey company only offering entries into prize draws, as in over 2 years of survey work, I have yet to win anything from any survey company prize draw or raffle. I fail to see why I should spend my valuable time completing a survey for which I get little or no reward, when you can bet your bottom dollar the company hosting it is being handsomely rewarded. However, I am most glad that I gave them the benefit of the doubt, as ZoomPanel have proved to be a good...

Come fly with me on Zoom.

Advantages: Low cost airline with Premium seating available.
Disadvantages: Only fly from a few airports in UK

...A few years ago we planned to go to Canada and cross the Rockies and then cruise to Alaska to celebrate our Ruby Wedding and retirement. But as my husband got voluntary redundancy last October we decided to bring the celebration holiday forward to this summer, why put off something that we can do now! We emailed a travel agent who specialised in Canadian travel and literally said what we wanted and what could they offer. The flight to Calgary and returning from Vancouver was with Zoom. I hadn't even heard of Zoom, my husband said it was a low cost flight. Knowing it would be a long flight I was somewhat concerned as my experiences with Easyjet and Ryanair haven't been very positive. So after doing some research online we asked the travel agent to upgrade our seats to Premium. Advantages of a Premium seat...

Monster Hunter - Absolutley Amazing

Advantages: Very good graphics, addictive, good use of controller, realistic camera
Disadvantages: No online play anymore

...The first time i heard about this game was in a PS2 magazine and once i had read the article i couldnt wait until it came out. I always kept an eye out for it. Then when it finally did come out i made sure i bought it there and then. The first thing you need to know it that this is an adventure game, where player create a hunter (character) that will go hunting monsters for whatever reason, wether its for food, for materials to make better equipment or purley for the thrill of the hunt. This is a decently long game on 1 player mode as there are lots of quests to complete, you will start of fwith the simple gathering quests and go onto hunting quests, where you will hunt things ranging from small 'kelbi' (like deer) to huge wyverns (liek dragons but not as big). Now in my opinion this is one of the best games ever made! I absolutely...

Climate Of Hunter - Scott Walker

Advantages: stunningly arranged and sung, mysterious songs
Disadvantages: none

...Climate Of Hunter is one of those albums that needs to played in its entirety. That's not much of a problem seeing as how it's only fractionally over half an hour long. "Rawhide" begins with distant cowbells and then it all kicks off with that utterly brilliant "This is how you disappear" opening line. What a delivery!! To be honest if the rest of the album was complete tripe I'd still love it just for that stunning opening. Quite why Scott chose to write a song about Cro-Magnon people and their herds is something that only Scott could ever explain, but the images of proto-men, buffalo, vast wide open plains come thick and fast. Brilliant track. I won't go through each song in detail - the superlatives would get very repetitive. Suffice to say that "Dealer" is really rather eerie in places, but is also incredibly lovely, "Track...
