On Guard, for this rip roaring film

Advantages: just excellence with a clever storyline
Disadvantages: the ending is a little deflating

...ON GUARD- A review by Addy Background On Guard is a French made film that was adapted for film from the book titled Le Bossu, (The Hunchback) by the author Paul Feval. On Guard was released in 2004 and is your swashbuckling style movie in the vein of all those classic Musketeer movies or The Count of Monte Christo. Being made in France the film On Guard is in French language with English subtitles. This gem of a film is filled to the brim with conspiracy, action, retribution, love, and passion with a healthy layer of wit to top it all off. However, for me what this film has in such abundance is simply that it is such great fun. Additional info Genre: Foreign Films Starring: Daniel Auteuil, Fabrice Luchini, Vincent Perez, Marie Gillain, Sacha Bourdo, Yann Colette, Jean-Francois Stevenin, Didier Pain, Charles...

Flick Cricket Game

Advantages: An iPhone cricket game...
Disadvantages: ...very basic

...You may have noticed I've written the odd review or two about iPhone application games in recent weeks...and you'd be right. So here's another one - Flick Cricket. There's a game doing the rounds on the internet called Stick Cricket which is extremely addictive and enjoyable...unfortunately the Flick version is completely different, and not quite up to the same standard; but then again this application is free for all you good, good iPhone users. The game is based on a six-over match, where the user always bats first and then attempts to defend the total as the 'computer' chases it down. On the main menu there are a couple of options - Quick Facebook Game, New Normal Game, Continue Game and Connect with Facebook. Now, I've not delved into the world of the Facebook options, but I believe it allows you to upload photos for players...

Wild Cricket

Advantages: Animals in a Beautiful Setting
Disadvantages: Tranquillity Lost at Peak Times

...The BBC sit-com To The Manor Born, starring Penelope Keith and Peter Bowles, was filmed at Cricket St Thomas. The lovely valley setting of the grounds is where you will find the Wildlife Park. Just south of the A30 between Chard and Crewkerne, in Somerset. It is well sign posted from the main road. This historic Manor was owned for centuries by barons, then Mr Fry, the chocolate manufacturer bought it in 1897. It passed to two other families before becoming a hotel in 1999 and is now owned by Warners. I will tell you a little more about that later. A free brochure is available in the wildlife gift shop, along with many other leaflets of interest to visitors to the area. There are three pricing periods for the park, Peak, Off-Peak and Winter. This reflects the fact that like other great attractions, it can become a victim...

Review of The Wildlife Park, Cricket St Thomas

Right on guard.

Advantages: Smells good, great protection, no worrying that you might stink.
Disadvantages: Leaves white marks, flammable, could cause irritation.

...We all hate the thought of smelling don?t we? I have found a great way of avoiding that fear, Right Guard anti-perspirant deodorant. Right guard has many different versions of its sprays with slightly different smalls in each. I have the cool version. I have tried others but this is the one I prefer. They all perform the same and have the same effect. This deodorant is a spray can which holds 250ml. It is dark blue and black with a dotted background making the can look textured. It boldly says ?24 hour time released protection?. It says on the back - Microencapsulated fragrance releases over time when you need it most. - Provides 24 hour protection against wetness and odour. - Helps to keep you feeling fresh and confident all day. There is a push on pull off clear cap which covers the spraying cap so that it...

Review of Right Guard Deodorant Spray

Cricket '97

Advantages: The birth of cricket on the PC!
Disadvantages: Well...it's getting on a bit!!!

...Forget Brian Lara Cricket. Don't even think about the new Cricket 2005 from EA Sports. This is where it all began! EA Sports original production - Cricket 97. With the slight boredom of a jobless summer hanging over me, I opted to whip out this quite literally, old-school game, and then it struck me...what if I can actually review it?!? And low and behold, I could! So, here's my best attempt...and please bare in mind how, in just nine years, the world of computer gaming has drastically changed. Put it this way...it begin with, the case holding the disc features a picture of Ian Botham playing a cut shot, in early-nineties one-day clothing... oh yes, we're getting retro here So once you've installed it onto your computer?oh and trust me, nowadays, there's no way your computer won't be compatible for it!! Through the advice...

A lovely country pub

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...I don't live in Eastbourne, I do however have a boyfriend who does, which is great for getting a little sunshine holiday on the South Coast . This may, it came around the to the dreaded 'Meeting his parents' stage, and I had no idea what to expect, and with me being the first real girlfriend he'd had, he couldn't give me any advice . Luckily it all went well, I turned up with a bottle of Rosé in one hand, my daughter holding onto the other and clutching a box of Ferrerro Rocher . Now, his parents like to go to pubs for traditional pub meals, and we did this a fair few times in the week I stayed there . However, out of the places we visited, it is the Cricketers that really stands out . Getting to the cricketers from the main area of Eastbourne isn't too bad- Berwick Village is signposted, and the pub is on one of the main roads leading...

Arm-azing!

Advantages: Great food, great service, cosy place
Disadvantages: None

...I've been quite lucky lately - a couple of months ago I passed my driving test on my first attempt, and then a week later I was offered a weekend job after my first interview. As you can imagine, I was pretty excited about both successes and my lovely fiancé told me he was going to take me out to dinner to celebrate. There are lots of restaurants around where we live, but we always find ourselves flocking back to our favourite pub, just outside of town, called The Berkshire Arms. The Berkshire Arms is located on the A4 just outside of Newbury and Thatcham in Berkshire, in a small town called Midgham. It's quite easy to find, located right next to a Premier Inn and just set back from the main road with a nice sweeping drive leading up to it. The car park is large enough to accomodate a good amount of visitors to the pub, and we have...

Ashes Cricket 2009 - Guarantee an Ashes win (In your home)

Advantages: Cricket on the Wii!
Disadvantages: Maybe classic matches woudl have been good

...The Nintendo Wii has become somewhat of a phenomenon over the last few years. I myself bought my console this year and have become an addict. I even have a Wii Fit and balance board. Sports are a highlight in my life. I play golf, and enjoy playing golf on my Wii. What I feel the Wii has been crying out for for such a long time now, particularly with its unique control system, is a game concerning my favourite game, cricket. I have played cricket on computer and games system for quite some time. First there was Brian Lara Cricket, then Brian Lara 2005, then Brian Lara 2008. I never really had too much time for the EA Sports versions of cricket (the one thing that my versions had in common was that they were all developed by Codemasters). This year Codemasters have produced yet another game. It is designed for various platforms...

The Cricketers Pub

Advantages: large garden, BBQ's held on Sunday, cheap drinks, friendly atmosphere
Disadvantages: A little out of town

...The Cricketers Pub is located in the village of River, just outside Dover. It is located right next door to Crabble Cricket, Football and Rugby Grounds. I like the Cricketers pub as it certainly has a village feel to it, and you tend to get a good crowd of people in here because it is not in the main town, and doesnt attract young drunks! The Pub The bar inside is fairly large with plenty of seating. There is a large plasma TV which shows various sporting events such as football, tennis and rugby games. There is a lower level to the bar area, and in here are a couple of gaming machines as well as pool tables. In one corner there is also a dart board. To the left of the pool tables, is a small corridor which leads out to the male and female toilets. If you walk past the toilets, you will find yourself in the pub garden. There is...
