You Wait Ages For a Review of a Marilyn Film...

Advantages: Unusual role for Marilyn Monroe, some great dialogue, moving
Disadvantages: Rodeo scenes, you hate Bo at first!

...Bus Stop is a film from 1956 starring Marilyn Monroe and Don Murray. This film lasts 96 minutes and was Marilyn's 29th movie. She had star billing in this one and plays quite a different role from what you might expect. Cherie is rather a sad character in many ways. She has had to grow up quickly, has few friends and longs for a better life. She owns a map charting where she has come from and intends to go to Hollywood to become a star. Most of all though, she craves respect. She has short blonde curly hair and is very pale, this being exaggerated by her bright red lipstick. She is pretty, naïve and a dreamer. She is a singer in a saloon bar and receives little respect on a daily basis. Men leer after her or push her around and they all expect her to be a certain kind of girl. Our first glimpse of Marilyn Monroe is 14 minutes into...

This bus is good for aiding imaginative development. Also good for learning social skills, playing in groups with others, learning to share and take turns. If used in conjunction with other road toys children can learn about waiting at bus stops. This bus will also help fine...

Barbados Reggae Bus

Advantages: great fun
Disadvantages: avoid 3pm to 5pm

...?more of that anon) charged a flat rate maximum of Barbados$ 1.50, that is per trip, whatever the distance involved. (In June the exchange rate was 4B$ to the £).Travel anywhere on the island for 75p! Public transport option offered by the BLUE buses of the Barbados Transport Board were recommended by the rep. Well yes if you could find one. We were told that we could catch the blue bus at a stop outside the church, next to the rum shop (a common juxtaposition in Barbados apparently !)just 200yards from the hotel. Certainly there was a stop, quaint, wooden, lollipop shaped, bearing the words "bus stop" on a red outer circle and" Into the City" on a white inner background. But there weren't any buses! And we waited a good while! We learned- in conversation with a Bajan lady at the main bus station in Bridgetown, again waiting for another BTB...

Review of 'Reggae Bus'

The Runaway Bus

Advantages: Frankie Howerd, Margaret Rutherford
Disadvantages: Poor quality DVD edition

...Well, what a shame, is all I can say! Okay I can say more... The original of this film I saw years ago on TV, and it was pretty good, led by Frankie Howerd in one of (if not THE) earliest performances of his career (the film was released originally in 1954). I was keen to see the film based on his being in it, and becaus eit also has Margaret Rutherford, one of my favourite actresses in also. The plot is essentially that frankie Howerd's charcter is a bus driver, and due to foggy condition, he must take a bus of air passengers via road from one airport to the next. the consequences are quite hilarious, although a few of the best scenes were unfortuately cut from the DVD version. Another note regarding the difference between the original and the DVD version is the quality of the film, which to be honest is not grat on the DVD. I...

The Wheels on the Bus

Advantages: Lots to do and learn from the bus
Disadvantages: Voices are annoying

...introduce phonics to children, and I have been told by the nursery that this is the way that they learn in the school so hopefully, although it is Murray's bus, it can be off some use to Eilidh too. Music Library is the last game. If you press the numbers a variety of different tunes which will be easily recognisable to a child will play. When it comes to the letters, some letters play a tune while others make a noise such as C being a miaow noise, and D is like a dogs bark, P is like a pig grunt. So they vary there. It takes 2AA batteries like lots toys for children, so if you have kids you are likely to have some in the house. The batteries are put in on the underside and it is screwed on which is ideal to stop little hands getting the battery compartment open and putting the batteries in their mouth. I choose the bus because...

Disadvantages: You have that song in your head for hours!!

... THE WHEELS ON THE BUS GO ROUND AND ROUND Illustrated by Annie Kubler Go on,admit it - the song is now going over and over in your head!! I bet that you're singing it now, are the windscreen wipers going swish, swish, swish yet?

It has been featured in lots of Children's TV programmes including the Tweenies and is a sheer classic in the world of niursery rhymes. This book is suitable from tiny babies upwards. It is an ideal book to start your reading experience with your baby and one that you will be able to continue through the next few years.

Magical Memories with Magic Bus

Advantages: Cheap Easy to use and friendly
Disadvantages: Not very comfy bus

..., via the telephone or in person with the bus drivers. You must just make sure that you have your pin number at all times when booking. You simply book yourself on and off the bus you can stay somewhere for 2 days, 2 weeks or 2 months it is up to you, several buses leave each day but if you are on a tight schedule I would advise booking ahead to guarantee your seat. You can not just turn up and get on the bus you do have to book at least a day in advance. Getting from A - B The thing I loved about this bus company is that they gave you information on your journey, giving you facts and fiction, pointing out the views and stopping for not to be missed photo opportunities. I saw so many things on route that I would have other wised missed out on,. When you get on the bus you are given a travellers guide book that details all...

21 hour bus journey from HELL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: Crap customer service, moody drivers

...Hervey Bay to 1770, this a 3 hour journey, the coach picked us up at 9pm and we set off in good time, I was due to arrive at 12pm and had arranged for a hostel bus to pick me up from the bus stop. As I was only in for a short journey I had a small bottle of water and no food with me, I had left my jumper in my case under the bus. We had been experiencing heavy rain for a few days and it was still raining as we travelled in the dark, we got to Bundaberg half and hour late and picked up some more passengers and carried onto 1770 the next stop. About an hour away from 1770 the driver of our bus was pulled over by a man on the side of the road, the man jumped on the bus and explained that their was a large flood ahead 3 ft deep and he couldn't get through in his car, he was worried that if we tried to go through we may tip the bus. I...

Review of Premier Bus Service, Australia

A Bus stop in Cambodia

Advantages: Unmissable Angkor
Disadvantages: Transportation, poverty, begging

...went to most often. As it was not a very busy place, it was normal to see the same faces and there was quite a nice atmosphere. There was also a rather large crown of local teenagers who seemed to spend their days going to the beach talking to westerners and I spent many an hour chatting to small groups of them. There are a few day trips to take from here and these can be organised via several of the guesthouses. A day's boat trip was popular and there was also a trip to Ream National Park, which I did. It was a nice enough outing and included a boat ride and a picnic, but nothing to write home about. At the end of my visit, I had to take the bus back to Phnom Penh and planned to spend another full day there before flying to Siem Reap. When I arrived at the bus stop, a rather aggressive looking chap from Nottingham related to me...

Review of General: Cambodia

The Glory Bus

Advantages: Another gore feast from Laymon
Disadvantages: Too many sex scenes

...Pamela has been kidnapped by a psycho who's lusted after since her days of high school. In the desert she manages to injure and escape from Rodney the psycho, but she decides to go back and get the car keys off what she thinks is a dead body... Although Rodney isn't dead he soon will be when the mysterious Sharpe turns up and saves her. Pamela then awakes on a bus where the driver will not speak to her "while the bus is in motion - it's against company policy!" Pamela soon discovers the bus is full of mannequins and she's the only live passenger... I've read a lot of Laymon books and have mostly enjoyed them, having read so many of his books I was a little disappointed by this one where I find that he has "oversexed" the book unnecessarily in my opinion. That aside it's still an enjoyable read if you like Laymon....
