Is it a bird is it a plane, no it's dragonfly

Advantages: It will finally end
Disadvantages: Not until your brain freezes up

...Oh the fear and the horror, the intrigue and the suspense. Where were they? Like a poor and painfully stretched episode of the X files, Dragonfly lurches from one predictable twist to another led by the charmless Costner. Is it an overdose of Botox that has done this to the once lauded actor? Is it design that causes the most emotionless 'performance' since 'Waterworld'? Or is it a wooden actor attempting to stiffen his ‘craft’ further in order to imitate the glory of ‘The Sixth Sense’. Sadly it is so far from achieving this, that the film becomes a parody of itself. A quick synopsis of the film: Costner's philanthropic doctor wife is missing presumed dead in the South American Jungle, whilst selflessly putting her medical degree to use in one of the poorest areas of the world. The cruel hand of fate...

Review of Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly (PS2)

Did you see that? Did you hear that? Spooky!!!!!

Advantages: Supernatural thriller, great storyline, good suspense.
Disadvantages: Could have done with more extras, they all seemed to be rather short

...~~ Dragonfly ~~ I have a strong interest in anything supernatural; if you like you could say I like anything spooky. I came across this movie quite by accident, until recently I used to have sky movies and one night I flicked through the channels and started watching a movie, I had missed the beginning of it, but from watching a couple of minutes it had attracted my interest, so much so that when it had finished I had to find out what it was called and get myself a copy. Ok, I am going on again, I know but it has got me here writing this review and wanting to share why I love this film so much. ~~ The Movie ~~ Kevin Costner plays a Doctor at Chicago Memorial Hospital, he is highly respected and the Head of his Department, oh you want to know his name don't you, it is Dr. Joe Darrow, his wife is/was also a Doctor in...

Keven Kostner Returns In Sixth Sense Style Yawner

Advantages: It has Kevin Kostner If You ike Him
Disadvantages: no thrills, no shocks, no suspense, no mystery

...tell you is going to be somewhat painful. Willis' role was very downbeat, but being dead he had an excuse, Kostner's idea of upbeat is an Armish knees-up so seeing him deliberatly play downbeat had 'painful' written all over it. The combination of these elements gives you...thats right, yet another contender for the Turkey of the Year award! Thankfully I didn't pay to see it because Dragonfly can be described as 'weak' at best, bloody awful if you are being slightly more realistic. Its the kind of suspense thriller which relies heavily upon an ever growing feeling of suspense and the way it keeps you guessing right until the very end with spooky supernatural elements thrown into the mix toshake things up a little. The big problem being that no suspense is built up when 10 minutes into the movie you have a rather good idea what...

...into the resuscitation room. When the boy appears to have died, Joe approaches his body, and is startled by the boy apparently opening his eyes. This in turn registers vital life signs on the monitor, and the team of medics is able to bring the boy back to life. Convinced that something very strange has happened, Joe returns to the ward the following morning, where he speaks with the boy. The boy claims that he experienced a strange “out of body” state and that it was not the first time it had happened. Even stranger is the revelation that the boy claims to have seen Emily – and that she has something important to tell Joe. Over the next few days, Joe experiences one strange phenomenon after another. A heavy dragonfly paperweight (a favourite of his wife) suddenly moves across the room, apparently defying gravity. His...

Where's my earl grey???

Advantages: Nice redbush tea
Disadvantages: No taste of earl grey at all

...I love tea. I especially love Earl Grey tea. I'm a bit of an Earl Grey connoisseur, and I also love Redbush, or Rooibos, tea, which I find very hydrating. So you can imagine my delight when I came across this tea... My box of 40 teabags of Dragonfly Earl Grey Rooibos cost me £1.99 from an independent food shop in Glastonbury. I have seen the Dragonfly brand in Waitrose, but never this type. The box promised the health benefits of rooibos with all the flavour of bergamot. I must admit, I was rather excited (yes I get excited about tea!). I decided to take the teabags to work with me, as I had just finished a box of Earl Grey, and I thought that some hydrating Redbush would be pleasant during the hot summer. My boss likes to steal my teabags, so I told him all about my new tea, knowing that the Redbush part would put him off. I...

Review of Dragonfly Naturally Caffeine Free Rooibos Earl Grey

The little Dragon that thought he was a Dragonfly.

Advantages: Fun to play, cute graphics and easy controls.
Disadvantages: A bit short and the save function.

...is provided by Elijah Wood, who played Frodo in Lord of the Rings. He was a great choice in my opinion as hiss voice lends itself perfectly to the cute little purple Dragon. Spyro's companion is a little yellow dragonfly called Sparx whose voice is provided by David Spade, (), again this was an excellent choice as it suits Sparx's humorously sarcastic persona. The voice of Ignitus is provided by the brilliant Gary Oldman, (Dracula), and it's rich gothic timbre is again perfect. ***** The Boring Bits ***** The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning was made by Universal Interactive, Sierra and Krome Studios in Australia and is compatible with Playstation 2 consoles displaying the PAL logo. The game is suitable for one player and requires a memory card for the PS2 with at least 79KB free space. It is compatible with the analog...

Review of Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning (PS2)

Escapism At It's Very Best!!!

Advantages: Wonderfully written, colourful and believable characters and well worth a read!
Disadvantages: It's the second in a series of 6 novels, so read the first one first!

...Dragonfly in Amber By Diana Gabaldon In 1999 I lived in Oxford for a time, working for Leonard Cheshire as a live in help to some young students at Oxford Brookes. I fell in love with the literary feel to the city, and found many places over the warm summer days to sit and immerse myself in books. I would scour the charity shops (yes, Oxford did have some charity shops!) for good reading material on a budget, and spend my days off under leafy green, falling in love with stories of other people?s lives and loves. One of my golden finds in such a charity shop was this book, Dragonfly in Amber. But unlike the others, I didn?t rush away to read it, as it happens to be the second in a series of books, and though I?m someone who often reads the last page of a novel ?just to see how it ends? so that I can spend the whole read plotting...

Review of Dragonfly in Amber - Diana Gabaldon

Can the past ever be changed?

Advantages: Sequel to 'Cross Stitch', exciting, historically interesting, good main characters
Disadvantages: Some violence, some rather flat lesser characters, very long!

...Bonnie Prince Charlie! That name conjures up many different images in people's minds. Was he a great romantic hero whose army was tragically defeated, or a self-centred power-seeker who cared little for his men? We shall never know for certain, but reading the book 'Dragonfly in Amber', I began at last to get an idea of what life could have been like for the Scottish armies in the 1740s, and the reasons for so many following the young prince into the ill-fated battle of Culloden. It's actually the story of Clare and Jamie Fraser, sequel to the book 'Cross Stitch'. But it's not a straightforward historical novel: Clare was born in the 20th century and accidentally went back 200 years in time in the first novel, so the conditions and people of 18th century Scotland are seen from the perspective of someone not unlike ourselves...
