Discover the best of European cinema

Advantages: A fantastic collection of shorts.
Disadvantages: None.

...Cinema16 is a fantastic compilation of European short films, giving you a glimpse at some of the most undervalued cinematographic handiworks, many who were crafted by some of the leading voices of modern cinema, such as Danish director Lars Von Trier, the controversial English comedian Chris Morris, and even the madcap French director, behind the infamous Dobermann (1999-2000), Jan Kounen. The funny thing about the Cinema16 DVD is that there is no rating to be found on the box; especially funny when you consider the strictness of the BBFC, and also, it's occasionally ridiculous ratings (for example, Rosemary's Baby being rated 18 - pathetic). Cinema16 could be considered a "certified 15" in my opinion. Individually, the short lengths vary between 8 and 20 minutes, frequently between 10 and 15 minutes, bringing the whole 16 shorts...

Review of Cinema 16 - European Short Films (DVD)

Medal of Honor; European Review

Advantages: Great sound, great game in general
Disadvantages: Graohics need tweaking, too short.

...Meadl of Honor; European assault is a great game for a number of reasons. First, all the levels you play through more or less happened in WWII. This enhances the realistic effect, and puts players in the position a soldier might have been in. Second, it's realistic. hugely realistic. Ok, sure, you get the health pickups, instant medikits, a handy adrenalin rush that makes you invincable, but those are what you'd expect from any game, and you can change most of those things in game anyway. I'll start with the basics. Graphics. The graphics in this game aren't that bad, on the basis that you are too busy blowing Germans' heads off to notice. When you look closer, you see that the guy you're chucking grenades at is slightly "boxey," the ridges on that fuel tank aren't quite rounded enough etc, but, overlooking those small details...

Review of Medal of Honor: European Assault (Xbox)

Medal of honor - European Assault, X-BOX-PS2

Advantages: great Graphics, Quite challenging
Disadvantages: Not as good as some other medal of honor titles

...In medal of honor European Assault for the first time in the long running Medal of honor series you can command other allied soldiers. This is a nice change and only adds to the game giving it more interactivity and makes it more realistic and enjoyable. Although i really enjoyed this title i found it not to be as good as other Medal of honor titles such as " Allied Assualt ". Even though Eurorean Assualt is a newer game the graphics are not really improved and i think the only reason the producers of this game are giving you the option of commanding other soldiers is an attempt to fight back at the ever increasing competition in WW2 games. 2good features that are new are the shellshock and the adrenelin the shellshock is not a positive aspect but makes it a little more realistic when a near by explosion takes place you will be in...

The European Constitution - not what Europe needs

Advantages: Political symbolism, being a fully paid-up EU member
Disadvantages: Too inflexible, backward-looking, bureaucratic and doesn't answer the EU's problems

...In December 2001, when the Heads of the governments (and applicant countries) issued the Laeken Declaration, their stated aim was to bring the EU closer to the people and re-connect the EU project with an increasingly hostile and/or indifferent public. From this declaration came the European Convention, chaired by former French President, Valerie Giscard d'Estaing, which drew up a draft Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe, which was duly amended and signed by the Heads of Government in 2004. Did the Treaty which emerged meet the challenge to re-connect with the European Public? Should the UK sign up to it, since we have been promised a referendum? What are the changes made by the Constitution? 1) It simplifes the existing Treaty structure, by bringing everything under one document. It also changes the names...

jersey european airways

Advantages: reliable and friendly
Disadvantages: perhaps they should fly more frequently

...i am a resident channel islander and hence rely upon jersey european to get to and from the mainland. from the age of 8, i travelled weekly to school and in doing so used jersey european. one of the first things that struck me about the airline was their friendliness and willingness to help a petrified young boy who had never flown before. furthermore, the ease with which they dealt with any problems was phenomenol and their care goes beyond their line of duty. once i was stuck in gatwick fogbound and jersey european airways put me up for the night at the hotel where the crew was staying. jersey european offers an unmatched service to and from the channel islands and i would suggest that anyone who visits the islands should fly with them...

The School of Slavonic and East European Studies

Advantages: Full resources for regional study
Disadvantages: It's in London!

...Again, Ciao have this in the wrong section, even though I had to ask for this to be included! The school of Slavonic and East European Studies (hereafter SSEES) is not part of UCL's faculty of Humanities and Social Studies, but a separate, self contained department with it's own library, building, tutors, facilities, Student's Union and representatives. It is responsible for the teaching and research into the areas covered by the former Soviet Union, Balkans, Baltic, East Central Europe and South East Asia. It covers the following subject areas: History, Culture, Languages, Anthropology, Languages, Foreign relations and current events in most of the countries of the area. Currently SSEES is located within Senate House, the same building as the University of London and it's huge library, of which it was a part until it merged...

Your money or your copy of cossacks european wars!

Advantages: Large scale, realistic, range of strategic formations.
Disadvantages: Graphics and resource gathering have not been very well worked out

...Cossacks: European wars is a strategy/war genre game based on battles in and around Europe. You can have TONS of different battles, from a small skirimish with a few raiding British dragoons fighting against a squad of French pikeman, to an enourmous civil war, nearly every country in Europe pitting their armies of cannons, cavalry, and infantry against each others blood-bating armies. It is easy to get started on the game, as there is a quiteimpressive, and very informative 51 page manual, informing you on the game interface, controls, the setup and how to play online against others armies. There are a few campaigns, some of which are very difficult, and will test even the experienced gamer to his limits. But for those new to the strategy gaming world, or indeed the gaming world as a whole, there is an option to change the speed...

Daim these Europeans

Advantages: Low in calories
Disadvantages: Small

...Dime Bar or Daim Bar :~ Its been a long time since having tried a Dime bar so off to Asda i popped to buy one. Up and down the aisle searching high and low to no avail. Asked an Asda helper who promptly took me straight to the Daim Bar. "No, a dime Bar", she then explained they had been repackaged years ago. In fact it was September 2005 when Kraft foods brought us in line with the rest of Europe and changed the Dime to a Daim Bar. So like Marathon to Snicker, Opal Fruits to starbursts, Jif to Cif and Immac to Veet the British public is slowly losing its individuality and becoming European. Bet you never thought this was going to be political when you started reading this review. But you must agree these name changes are stupid, to me a Snicker will always be called a Marathon, Starbursts Opal Fruits and so on. Oh well winging...

Review of Dime Bar

The best airline in Britain - OFFICIALLY

Advantages: Personal and friendly service, local airport, nice food, short check-in times
Disadvantages: Limited choice of destinations and departure days

...Palmair European is an independent airline which flies solely out of Bournemouth Airport in Dorset. It is a small airline, owned by Bath Travel ? a family run travel agent with branches across the South Coast of England. Amazingly, Palmair only operates one aircraft ? a Boeing 737 ? but still manages to give an excellent service with a very personal touch. Despite its small stature, Palmair recently achieved an amazing third place in the ?Holiday Which? best airline survey, beating its British competitors hands down, and therefore gaining the title of best British airline ? no mean feat for such a small airline. During the summer, the airline operates 14 flights a week between Bournemouth and seven different European destinations. These include Malaga, Faro, Corfu and Mallorca. Clearly, due to the single aircraft, you can only...

Review of Palmair European

Euro-gonna like this budget hotel

Advantages: Great location, affordable prices
Disadvantages: Dated decor!

...at the right time, and discover a super-duper deal where you can stay in London over for peanuts (*tries not to laugh at the idea of an economy based on different types of nuts*?I digress) I found The European Hotel whilst browsing ?budget hotel? websites for London. I needed a room for an over night trip, but wasn?t prepared to pay over the odds in a fancy hotel, when I only needed somewhere to rest my head, yet reluctant to go down the hostel route. The European stood out for me for its price, but moreoever it?s location. It was centimetres away (well, on google maps ? not in reality, that would be silly) from Kings Cross! It is a family run budget hotel that has been established for over 20 years. They also have 83 ?interesingly? decorated rooms. I booked online at travelstay.com, had to pay a deposit of around £10, allowing me to settle...
