The Apocalypse Incarnate

Advantages: Viscerally stunning; raw and horrific; nightmarish and dreamy; subtle
Disadvantages: (Arguably) Incredibly draining; won't fit a wide audience

...In cinema, there are often films that are superbly made and acted, but don't really serve as entertainment. Schindler's List, for example, is not a film that can be found enjoyable. When films deal with such harrowing issues, like genocide or mass murder, it's impossible not to feel a little uncomfortable whilst watching them. Come and See takes this kind of viewing experience to the next level, serving as a reminder of the horrific brutality humanity does to itself. Lost in the vast landscapes of 1943 Belorussia, young Florya (Aleksei Kravchenko), on finding a rifle, leaves home to join the partisans, resistance fighters against their German invaders. When the partisans leave to wreak havoc upon the German lines, Florya is left behind and on returning home and finding his family dead, he sets out on a journey which will reveal to him...

Review of Come And See (Subtitled and Dubbed) (DVD)

See the weight coming off!

Advantages: Good price, smart appearance, accurate measurements
Disadvantages: None for us

...or a dark blue trim. The fact that they are made of clear glass means that they will always match your décor as you can see the carpet straight through the scales! The maximum weight that these scales will take is 180kg / 28st / 396lb so we should be OK then! They come complete with a lithium battery and a 15 year guarantee. In conclusion I would have to say that I am very pleased with these scales. They give measurements of weight to a great degree of accuracy and we can really see our healthy eating plan beginning to work!...

Review of Salter 9017 Ultra THIN

Come see my wares!

Advantages: See text.
Disadvantages: See text.

...I would just like to write a review a that great old British tradition, which is of course the car boot sale. A car boot sale is a great way to get rid of all of those things that you no longer want, and also to make an extra quid or two along the way in order to put aside for something. There are usually car boot sales hehld all over the place, and they are usually advertised in any number of places from village green notice boards through to newspapers. Some are held just as a one-off, whereas others you get to see as being a regular part of the local events calendar. So, what does exactly happen at a car boot sale for those to whom this concept is alien? Well, first off you find out where the sale is being held! Otherwise, you will look a bit stupid if you turn up somewhere with a carload full of rubbish! Then, in...

COME SEE THE FLOWERS.

Advantages: Stunning Scenery
Disadvantages: May not suit the unsentimental

...The Secret Garden is one of the most beautiful films that I have seen for a very long time. Released by Warner Home Video on DVD in 1997, this is a must see for all the family and its' PG rating is a fair one. Suited to a family viewing on a wet afternoon, the films takes us through the journey that sees a young girl in the 19th Century who loses her parents in India, and is shipped back to England to stay in a Rural Mansion. You begin a love hate relationship with the spoilt and overbearingly brattish Mary Lennox (played by Kate Maberly), contrasted against the child that she discovers living at the mansion who is frail and ill and not allowed the luxury of being a normal child because of his over protective carers, and the fears of his father for his sons' health and wellbeing. Based on the works of Frances Hodgson Burnett...

Striclty Come Dancing - Can You Sit On The Sofa For Two and a Hal

Advantages: Good family entertainment
Disadvantages: A bit too long in it's present form, could do with some new dances

...Strictly Come Dancing Series Saturday night - you're either in the Strictly camp or X-Factor. In our house the girls watch Strictly on BBC 1 and the boys watch X-Factor (ITV)and then we catch up on Sunday with whatever we haven't watched. What's It All About? For those people who have lived in a bubble for the last 6 years, Strictly Come Dancing is a dance competition, where professional dancers are teamed up with celebrities. It is presented by Bruce Forsyth and Tess Daly. The celebrities are made up of sports personalities, actors and actresses and presenters etc, both young and more mature. Each week (we are now in week 4) each couple perform either a latin or ballroom dance. There are four judges that offer constructive criticism and then score each dance out of 10. In the later stages when there are less couples...

The Sun Has Come

Advantages: Diverse Sounds, Some Great Tracks
Disadvantages: Too Electronic In Parts, Strange Vocals In Parts

...track. It was also the second release from this album and the video for it can be found on the official website. Going right back down to basics, this is a guitar based track again sung by a female vocalist. This is soft and catchy, two things that really shouldn't work together, but do. The synths come in later in the track but the emphasis is very much on the simply guitar playing which has an almost Mediterranean feel to it. The words are lovely and simply and it just encompasses everything wonderful about life, my favourite being: Feel the sunshine breaking through And all the grey sky's turned to blue I won't let sorrow follow me Just like a bird I'm flying free This is just simple and wonderful and I cannot see how anyone would dislike this. 10/10 5. Change is Gonna Come Again returning to the slower pace Honeyroot are...

Review of Grotte de Dargilan, Lozere

See The Light, and that's through music

Advantages: Good audio, excellent music, heady and EXCELLENT Cover design.
Disadvantages: Lacks variety, music over rides voice.

.... They have proved sounding epic doesn?t mean sounding like Coldplay. It is to their credit that they roped in producer Flood who had a great run with The Killers. Cenzo Townsend?s inclusion add polish to the group to a large degree. No doubt ?See the light? will cement the promise of raw passion, honesty and the blistering warts of 2007?s Narcissus Road to emphatic effect. I think it?s inconsequential, although a fact, that Damien Hirst is the art work designer of ?See The Light? but what I honestly believe that money is a big factor, The Hours is doing what Genn and Slattery do, music, for art and not for money. The bigger the truth is less believable it becomes be it noble or naïve. The tracks in the album: 1. Big Black Hole 2. These days 3. Come on 4. Never See You Again 5. Car Crash 6. Think Again 7. Love is in Action 8...

Review of See The Light - Hours (The)

Come And See Me Bear

Advantages: everything!
Disadvantages: only the cost

.... You could also buy hats, shoes, glasses, umbrellas, etc. - even a wardrobe for £34.99! I chose a white T-shirt with embroidered pink flowers and a pink velour pinafore dress for £5.99 with a pair of white and pink rabbit slippers for £3.99. (Can you tell I’m broody??) The outfits are colour labelled to say whether they should fit your toy, so do look closely. The outfits come with gorgeous little bear coathangers too, awww :-) You then take your bear to the fluffing up facilities – mirror, dressing table, comb and brush. You can dress your toy here too or take the outfit to the counter in its wrapping. (The assistant that served us liked the look of the bear and outfit so much, that she dressed it at the counter for me!) Next, you queue up to pay and whilst doing this, your card is collected from you with your toy’...

Seeing Sounds? You What?

Advantages: Very original
Disadvantages: Possibly too experimental at times

..."Seeing Sounds" is the third album by N*E*R*D (Noone Ever Really Dies), who were said to have broken up a couple of years ago. Obviously, the rumours were not true, so Chad Hugo, Shay Haley and Pharrell Williams return with their Hip Hop-influenced Funk Rock music, but they are not concerned about rigidly sticking to any genre. Hugo and Pharrell make up The Neptunes, one of the biggest names in music production in any genre. Their beat making has been hear across the board from Hip Hop, to Pop, to R&B, and towards the end of the ninties and start of the '00s they managed to dominate airwaves with their distinctive spacey beats being heard everywhere. From here with the addition of the drummer Shay Haley, they take on all of their success and use it to make music for which they have more passion in creating. Generally the genre...
