Edward Scissorhands

Advantages: -----
Disadvantages: -----

...Here is my review which doubles up as my English Coursework so here goes!!!! Plot Summary The film is a fairytale type film about a creation called Edward that was never finished by his creator. The part of Edward that was never finished was his hands, so instead of Edward having normal hands with fingers, Edward has scissors in their place. Edward lives alone in the same gothic castle that he was created in, and hasn?t been outside the gates of the castle at all. However one day Edward is surprised to find that the ?Avon Lady? (Peg Boggs) turns up at his castle trying to sell Avon products. Peg Boggs then takes Edward to live with her family after she saw how Edward was living. From this point the film is pretty basic and we see Edward trying to adapt to normal living after being alone all of his life. When Edward is living in...

Edward Scissorhans: the DVD cut

Advantages: Good plot, and some excellent visuals
Disadvantages: Some of the acting

...As a woman reads to her granddaughter one winters night, she recalls the story of a strange character from a nearby gothic mansion who she once fell in love with. Kim is now elderly and looks longingly out of the window. When her mother Peg discovered a boy who has scissors for hands living alone in the mansion, she brings him down into the town to live with the family. Instantly, the local neighbourhood are intruigued by Edward, and set about finding out about the mystery guest. As it happens, Edward is a creation of the elderly inventor who owned the mansion on the hill, and before he had a chance to give Edward prosthetic hands, he died.

Edward Scissorhands

Advantages: Elfman's most magical creation and a true masterpiece
Disadvantages: The Tom Jones song at the end

...By the turn of the 1990s, Tim Burton had already sealed his credentials as an imaginative and quirky director with films like Pee-Wee's Big Adventure, Beetlejuice and Batman. Therefore it was only to be expected that his next film would be equally quirky and dark, and that it certainly was. Starring Johnny Depp along with Winona Ryder, Dianne Wiest, and Anthony Michael Hall, with Vincent Price as "The Inventor," Edward Scissorhands is a fairy-tale like fantasy about a strange artificial man with scissors for hands. From his lofty castle on top of a hill, he is whisked away by a cosmetic's saleswoman straight into the suburbs where he is greeted with interest and wonder. It won't be long however when people start turning against him due to his naïve trust in others and his sharp scissorhands that cause a few unintentional moments...

Review of Edward Scissorhands - Original Soundtrack

Edward the Very Useful Engine

Advantages: Great for Thomas and Train Fans
Disadvantages: None

...Edward the very useful engine is a book based on the Thomas TV series. The front cover of the book has a picture of Edward and Thomas and there is a purple banner above the picture with the title of the book in yellow lettering. The back cover of the book is also purple and has a yellow square with smaller pictures of a few other titles available in the collection. This edition is in hard back. THE STORY The book starts by telling us a bit about some of the engines on the Island of Sodor. Gordon was good at pulling the Express, Percy was good at carrying the mail and Edward was good at being a back engine. It tells us that when the engines were heavy Edward would couple up behind and help them push. Edward is an old engine and some of the other engines thought he was unreliable. Gordon and Percy thought that he should...

Prince Edward County - A slice of Tranquility

Advantages: Peaceful, ecclectic, plenty to do, good weather, nice people, beautiful...
Disadvantages: It isn't close enough to pop back for the weekend

...Prince Edward County is a small County in Ontario, which has managed to remain relatively unscathed by development and urban society, although it is quickly climbing up the property ladder and being seen as a haven away from the day-to-day hustle of big cities like Toronto. The County is an island on Lake Ontario and consists of 10 small towns: Dereronto Picton Ameliasburgh Cherry Valley Milford Bloomfield Wellignton Wapoos Northport Condecon I consider myself to be very fortunate in that my family (parents and brother and his family) have set up home in the County since I moved to Britain and as such, each trip home brings me to this fabulous slice of beauty and tranquility tucked away quietly in a nest of back roads and kind neighbours. What has Prince Edward County got to offer...

Review of Prince Edward County, Ontario

Oh, Edward, what big scissors you have

Advantages: The ultimate cult-classic
Disadvantages: The story is too daft and far fetched for some people

...Edward Scissorhands is the ultimate cult-classic DVD must-have. Released way back in 1990 the film looks a little dated, though for me this adds nostalgia and fondness to the whole film experience. I first saw this film more than a decade ago and have watched it over and over again on my Special Edition DVD. As with all good films it has never lost its charm or magic and is still as appealing to me today as it ever was. The film is directed by the somewhat eccentric Director Tim Burton (Batman, Beetlejuice, The Nightmare Before Christmas... all of which I love). If you have been lucky enough to see any of his other marvellous films you may agree that Edward Scissorhands has the same Tim Burton stamp on it as most of the other films he has directed. They have an unmistakable trademark, some of which the signs are...an atmosphere...

Edwards

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

...Jonathan will be entering Sydney on the back of some pretty impressive jumps. His recent form suggests that he'll walk away with the gold however, there are lingering doubts about his fitness which concern me. After his last competition he had to have an ice pack on his his troublesome ankle and he may further aggravate the injury in his bid to become Olympic Champion. He is nowhere near the form of five years ago when he was jumping 18 metres plus for fun. If Edwards is fit then there is no one who can touch him. He is by far the best jumper andno one seems to be jumping any where near far enough to troble him....

Review of Jonathan Edwards

King Edward. No small potatoes!

Advantages: Another great loco programme
Disadvantages: None

...This DVD follows the steam locomotive King Edward I. According to the sleeve notes, the DVD is the most comprehensive ever coverage of a steam rail journey, because of the amazing number of lineside locations employed in the filming of the journey. A staggering total of 50 individual camera locations! Not to mention the hours and hours that were recorded on the train itself and helicopter-based camera crews, too. The DVD is produced by Green Umbrella and has exactly the same rigorous and sympathetic production values as the other videos in the series Classic Steam Trains. (Please see my other review for those comments.) In June 1999 the Great Western Locomotive, 6024 King Edward I was deployed to take a special rail tour from London to Bristol and then back as far as Didcot. Due to having to keep to a relatively high speed to keep...

Review of Classic Steam Train Collection - King Edward I (DVD)

Todd The God Edwards

Advantages: Every track is great.
Disadvantages: n/a

...Although not very wll known commercially, Todd Edwards is a prolific record producer and is very well known in dance music circles. With over fifteen years experience in the business and well over two hundred songs to his name, he deserves alot more credit that he currently has. A resident of New Jersey, his signiture style of one of chunky 4/4 beats and cut up samples which are used to create the melody of the song. Full On Volume 1 is the second album from 'Todd The God' and was released in June 2001 on i! recordings. This is a sort of compilation of Todd's work from 2/3 years prior to it's release with a few new tracks thrown in. If you are a fan of UK Garage or House music then you really should have this in your collection. The first CD is mixed (one track seamlessly runs into the next) and contains 15 tracks. The second CD...

Review of Full On Vol.1 - Todd Edwards

THREE HEARTY CHEERS FOR JONATHAN EDWARDS

Advantages: Couldn't happen to a nicer fellow.
Disadvantages: None.

...Going for Gold, and achieving it! Hearty congratulations to Jonathan Edwards on his truly magnificent achievement of the Gold Medal in the Olympic Games in Sydney. Whilst many of the pundits forecast glory for Jonathan, I was somewhat dubious, as he often just misses out on the ultimate glory of winning a major prize. This time, however, he reaped his just desserts with a triple jump which beat the rest of the World's best. He always comes accross as a very quiet, unassuming, very religeous person, who truly represents the very best of good old-fashioned character. It is therefore refreshing to see that the Good Guys do still win. He sets a shining example to the youth of today, and I for one am overjoyed with his success. Long may it continue!...
