Review of The Sky is Falling - Sidney Sheldon

A FALLING STAR: Enough is Enough!

Advantages: Is Jade Goody an advantage? ok..raising an awareness maybe?
Disadvantages: Seeing more of Jade and it can affect the kids in the future.

...a Falling Star? . . . what do I think of the idea? NO! I don?t think they should. We have had enough of Jade Goody over the last seven years; enough of Jade?s books, autobiography, naked, racist, ignorant, irresponsible, sex-crazy, money-hungry and media-hungry Jade! Nothing different happened in her life; she was lucky to have the money, but she left it all to her so called husband and the poor children who might take their mum?s path because they will be raised by their grandmother! What are they going to picture her as in the movie? She was not Mother Teresa! No, she was a normal woman who lived a rough and difficult childhood and led a messy life running after fame and money; in my opinion shooting that film will make her public image worse. People trying to forget her could not; the film may hurt her family for picturing her that...

Review of Reality TV Star Jade Goody's life to be turned into film. What are your thoughts on this?

Fantasy May Fall in "The Fall"

Advantages: Thought provoking storyline, excellent acting, and breathtaking locations
Disadvantages: None I can think of!

... Please note it?s a Film only review Subscribing to film channels was the best choice I made, especially when having sleepless nights or when my sister?s kids are around! I needed something to take my mind away, so Fantasy and Science Fiction films are always on the top of my favourite film category. It stimulates the imagination with superfluous actions and changeable stories. One of those films that I will never forget was The Fall (a 2008 production). THE FALL is one of the most mysterious, but incredibly engaging and amusing, films that I have ever watched. It?s not surprising when a child muddles up realism with imagination, it?s a part of the growing-up process . . . we all are knowledgeable that a child should have a vivid imagination but what if that child with such glowing and flamboyant thoughts...

Review of The Fall

The Fall- A gem of a film.don't miss it

Advantages: Fantastic script,visually appealing,Great performances.
Disadvantages: None really.A few might not like it though

...First things first,a big thanks to Puggers for writing about this movie! Here is one brilliant film which combines a lot of genres and a film you will remember for long. The fall is directed by Tarsem Singh and stars Lee Pace as the main protagonist. Alexandria is a small girl living in a catholic hospital for his fractured arm where she meets an injured stuntman named Roy who agrees to tell her a story of 5 mysterious heroes trapped in an island who are looking to kill Prince Odius. Injured Roy needs morphine from the hospital pharmacy and asks Alexandria to steal it for him if she wants to hear the complete story. Being lured to hear the story,she would go to any extent. The film is fascinating to say the least.It does remind you of Pan's Labyrinth(just because of the whole fairy tale meets reality factor,nothing else). As the story...

Review of The Fall

Dudhsager Falls

Advantages: Beautiful scenery, get to feed wild monkeys, good value for money
Disadvantages: No disabled access.

...I visited Goa in India in March 2006 and while I was there, we went to visit Dudhsager Falls. About Dudhsager Falls The Dudsager Falls are on the border of Karnataka and Goa. The highest point of the falls is 600 metres and it is classed as the 5th highest waterfall in the world. The falls themselves are located inside a tropical jungle with lots of beautiful scenery all around. Getting There We stayed in Calangute in Goa and to get to the falls, we took a taxi which took about an hour to get there. The return taxi journey cost £20 which wasn?t too bad really as that taxi actually sat and waited for us, and came on the trip with us, giving us lots of background information about the area. Once You Arrive Once we arrived in Mollem which is the town the Falls are located in, our taxi driver took us to the people organising...

Review of Dudhsager Falls

Star Whores

Advantages: Nice cover
Disadvantages: peurile rubbish

...I am the first one to advocate comics as a valid art form and in some cases they elevate themselves to works of literature, the artwork enhancing the story in a way that words simply cannot achieve. “The Fall of the Sith Empire” is neither literature or art and quite frankly a waste of time and effort on my part for bothering to read it, I’m only thankful I didn’t actually pay for it. Salisbury library does stock a large number of graphic novels, a rather pretentious term coined in the 80’s which in no way applies to this dross. Dark Horse comics can usually be trusted to produce fair comics with the likes of Mike Mignolas Hellboy amongst its titles but this is one licence too far. The only real justification to publish this as far as I can see is the fact that it is part of the Star Wars licence. I...

The Fall Guy

Advantages: great entertainment and eighties action
Disadvantages: none really

...from the eighties. Unfortunately?as of now they have only just released series one on DVD, which consists of 23 episodes (the pilot being counted as two episodes), giving a good seventeen plus hours, onto 6 DVDs, of harmless fun and some comical, if a little 'iffy' entertainment. This series one can be bought from amazon for less than £11.00. Sadly?The theme tune is actually sung by the star of the show Lee Majors and is not to every ones taste? * Series one DVD brief plots. 1) Pilot? The Fall Guy (part 1) 2) The fall Guy (part 2)? When a hit and run driver jumps bail it is up to Colt and Howie to bring the man back to court to face justice? but things are more difficult than first thought. 3) The Meek Shall Inherit Rhonda? When a computer hacker is ripped of by his wife he hires Colt to find her to get his money...

Review of The Fall Guy - Series 1 - Complete (DVD)

  Rock Star

Advantages: Well thought out story
Disadvantages: sometimes shallow

...seemed very surprised and gave me a funny look when I told her it was for me that worried me for a start. The story was interesting because firstly it centred on the lives of three very different contrasting characters that, only shared a wonderful talent. It was fascinating to see what happened to them as the novel went chronologically through all the highs and lows of their lives, all the main developments that went to make them all Rock Stars. Yes in some ways it was shallow, the way these fortunate people enjoyed such a lavish lifestyle. Full of beautiful young men and women who?s only leisure time pursuit seemed to be having sex. Luckily these scenes were not too graphic in the author?s descriptions of them; instead she left quite a bit of it to your own imagination which was fine by me. The story built up well leading to a very...

Review of Rock Star - Jackie Collins

Falling Down

Advantages: psychological, michael douglas, social realism, dark humour
Disadvantages: depressing

...must first make a purchase to be granted change. Fair enough, but eighty five cents for a soda doesn't leave him enough money for the phone call; grabbing a baseball bat from behind the counter, D-FENS proceeds to bash every overpriced item in the place in a fit of rage, then agrees a price of 50 cents for the soda, pays for it, and walks off, with his anger subsided. As the story unravels we, the audience, are forced to make a distinction between an ordinary man and a deranged psychopath. Mid-way through things are taken to a new, hilarious level when D-FENS pulls a gun on the irritating manager of a fast food restaurant after he refuses him breakfast for being two minutes over the deadline. Falling Down could quite easily be pigeon holed as a black comedy with its often cartoonishly over the top scenes of violence, but it is its...

Review of Falling Down (DVD)

Stars

Advantages: Easy to obtain and it's available on lots of formats
Disadvantages: None

...finally found here only for him to apparently take full charge of his little projects. He seems to work better when he delegates... Here is a list of tracks. 1. Something Got Me Started 2. Stars 3. Thrill Me 4. Your Mirror 5. She's Got It Bad 6. For Your Babies 7. Model 8. How Could I Fall 9. Freedom 10. Wonderland Track one "Something Got Me Started" is a pop funk fest of oozing sexuality. The bass line, the spoken intro, the whispery "show me" and the backing singing all add up to a smashing song. It was a huge hit and I like the idea of a man realising he's done wrong and how he's trying to get someone back. "Totally broken hearted, guilty of what I did to you, lately since we've parted, I truly know that I need you". It's repetitive in places but it only adds to the song I think. Title track "Stars" covers...
