Flight 93

Advantages: Educates on the subject effectively
Disadvantages: is only based on 'facts'

...Flight 93 is something that I do not believe we will ever fully understand, not because of our limitations to cope with the facts but because the facts will not in my opinion ever be revealed to us. The events which occurred on 9/11 have been subject to much speculation and cause for many conspiracy theories, the film ?Flight 93? was created to show us ?what happened? on one of the planes whilst in the sky. Please Note Before reading this review please accept that I will be comparing the film with theories, facts and my opinions and therefore a review of the whole subject may become apparent, also due to the media coverage of this event I must stress that this is more of a documentary than a film and therefore the plot will be revealed in my text. Not because I want to spoil it for you, but because the plot is not a surprise...

Review of Flight 93 (DVD)

Bali in the Rain

Advantages: Good size room, good food, friendly service, umbrellas
Disadvantages: Easy to get lost!

...I've been looking forward to going to Bali for a long time. For nigh on twenty years in fact, it has been up near the top of my 'Gotta Go' list, but there's always somewhere else that has just nudged its way ahead because of convenience, or price. Or those words that cannot be ignored: "No, I want to go to....", accompanied by a look that says 'ignore at your peril'... So when a business trip allowed me to visit Bali for a night and day, I was not going to argue. My meetings were mostly in Kuta, the first planned hotel fell through so I ended up at the Padma Bali. The website looked promising, there was going to be a couple of hours of free time, so I packed my swimming trunks and sunblock. Here we go! Arrival All was looking good as the plane eased to a halt in front of the terminal and the steps were pushed up. I smiled...

Review of Hotel Padma, Bali

Bleurgh to Bali

Advantages: Hot, sunny, cheap food and a local KFC!!
Disadvantages: Dirty, not nice beaches and the sea was too rough!

...As you can tell by the title Bali was not my ideal holiday - do apologise to anyone that loves it! Bali was part of a three centre holiday that included Bangkok and Hong Kong in October 2001. Bangkok was for the first three nights, Hong Kong for the last two nights and Bali was the nine nights in the middle. The flight to Bangkok was around 12 hours then another flight of about 6 hours to get to Bali, we landed in Denpasar which is the capital of Bali, we had a coach take us to the Hotel that was about an hour away. When we got to Bali we were taken to Grand Bali Beach in Sanur, the reception was very impressive, lots of marble and escalators being the focal attraction, surrounded with lush greenery. We were given our room keys and found we were staying in one of the garden view rooms, these we like little chalets that were...

Wonderful Bali : Island of Nature

Advantages: Beauty nature, bargainable price, multicultural societies.
Disadvantages: Some prices are relatively high, english language ability.

...I've been to Bali three times in my life. And I must suggest you to go there! =) First of all, mentioning beach, Bali has a lot of beautiful beaches, including Kuta beach, Legian beach, Sanur beach and many more. It is well-known in Bali for spending time watching sun-being-set in the mouth of the coast. It was wonderful. The seas are somehow blue, reflecting the meaning of the real sea, what should it be. Second, the shopping center. It is growing everyhwere, with some international brands take participation. Third, the place to stay. It is very easy in Bali to find out the place to stay, even for a night only. Hotels, ranging from 1-star until 7-star are there to serve you, with good and acceptable standard. Four, the society. Bali is known as one international island in Indonesia, and of course, English language is likely to be spoken...

Review of General: Bali

Dial a Flight

Advantages: heklpful polite and friendly service
Disadvantages: the flight prices advertised are not always available upon phoning

...I have used dial a flight on a number of occasions now, and have always been impressed with their service. I found them on a web site, but as the title suggests you cannot book the flights over the internet. The web site gives you a quote for your flight and the telephone number. Quite often though when you get through to them and quote the price there is a drawback to the price. When I was generally looking around for a flight to Alicante for my son about 6 weeks ago, I found this what seemed a really good deal, £49 return!!! I rang Dial a flight and found that he would have had to travel first to Barcelona and then onto Alicante. A bit of a marathon for a short flight really, even though the price was brilliant. It does not mention these things on the web site. However I am actually writing an op on the telephone service so...

Review of Dial A Flight

The Duffle Bag Boyz Take Flight

Advantages: A few big tunes
Disadvantages: Inconsistent

...The duo of Tity Boi and Dolla Boy (known collectively as Playaz Circle) brought ?Flight 360: The Takeoff? as their second album in 2009. It finds them showing how they are able to represent Ludacris? Disturbing Tha Peace crew with another album packed with them offering more hardcore Dirty South Rap material. The Atlanta duo?s first hit was in 2007 with the Lil? Wayne-assisted ?Duffle Bag Boy? and they come to work with both him, Bobby Valentino and even Raekwon this time around. 1. ?Turbulence? (Intro) 2. ?Look What I Got? After coming off a heavy introductory piece, you see that they dive into a hardcore track and one of the most impactful on the album as they link up with Korleone (of Houston, Texas), and the Texans influence leads to them doing a Chopped & Screwed-inspired joint to take it right down to those ends for one...

Review of Flight 360: The Takeoff - Playaz Circle

Flight Plan - "Where'd My Little Girl Go?"

Advantages: Jodie Foster, Sean Bean
Disadvantages: a few minor plot flaws

...Imagine you're taking a trip on an aeroplane with your only child just days after your spouse has died and you fall asleep, only to wake up shortly afterwards to find your child has seemingly disappeared. Not just disappeared from their seat but all trace of them ever having been on the flight seems to be gone too. Can you imagine how much terror you would feel? Wouldn't you panic? I know I would and basically this is the basis of the story for Flightplan; a movie starring the ever-talented Jodie Foster as Kyle Pratt; a propulsion engineer. PLOT SUMMARY Kyle is based in Germany and the movie begins with Kyle having to deal with her husband's suicide by jumping from the roof of a building and Kyle trying to deal with her grief whilst preparing to take her 6 year old daughter Julia to New York to bury her husband. As if...

Review of Flight Plan (DVD)

  Dial - A - Flight? More like Dial - Are - Shite.

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...*Introduction* Today I regail you with a tale of woe; of incorrect plane tickets, lost luggage and incomplete hotel bookings. Of long international phone calls, unnecessary tramau and repetitive mistakes. Today I invite you to share my world of terror with Dial - A - Flight. *The first time* Having used this company for a few years now (for reasons I wish to cover below), I still remain unsatisfied, and disheartened with the service they provide. I first used them after receiving one of those packs through the post. You know, those glossy type things which boast beautiful pictures of places all around the world, with a less than glossy price tag attatched to it? Well I thought I'd give them a chance, and as I flicked through the pages, I discovered an inexpensive flight to america, which I wanted to go to see my...

Review of Dial A Flight

I urge you to go back to Bali

Advantages: See opinion
Disadvantages: See opinion

...and the death toll was nearly 200. When the bomb went off I was on a Royal Brunei flight to London that had left Bali the same day with my Balinese husband and our daughter. The news of the bombings shocked us to the core; my husband had been in the Sari Club with his brother and his mates just two weeks before for his last night out before leaving, being pregnant I’d stayed at home but he’d bumped into at least five of my friends that night and he wasn’t there long. It was very possible that many of our friends and family had been in the vicinity of the bombings that night and our first few days in Britain were spent trying to contact people by phone and email, checking lists of the dead and injured, reading the newspapers both here and online and watching the news. Among the hundreds killed that night was one of my husband...

Review of General: Bali

sanur,bali

Advantages: lots to do,spectacular scenery,good seafood,beautiful beaches
Disadvantages: hassled to buy things, coral was dead so snorkelling not great

...Lovely beaches but not as quiet as I expected or I was told. I went during the christmas period where business is very slow for the locals so everyone was desperate to sell you something or get you to go on a day trip.This is good when your are wanting to sightsee and there are many things to see and do in Bali but not so good if you can not even lie on the beach for half an hour. it was an absolutely fantastic and interesting experience and the people are very welcoming and willing to tell you all about their religion,culture.Be warned that you will be taken to many different shops no matter if you go with a local guide or the hotel guide.One local guide, named Tarzan(yes for real!) was a real pleasure to spend days with and nights drinking in the bar he worked in, he is worth asking around for. Beautiful place, seeing the rice fields...
