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...

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

  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

Flight to Mars.

Advantages: Not too bad.
Disadvantages: Quite Dated

...Flight to Mars. Evil Martians plotting to invade the Earth. A space ship is launched for the first landing on Mars. But when they get there Mars is full of Martians and they are not the friendliest bunch. The Martians are running low on all of their resources and plan to invade and occupy the Earth. The scientist and big mouth reporter who accompanied them are Earths only hope of stopping the invasion. The Martians turn out to look exactly like humans! There is a love interest to the story and some weird looking weapons. The plot of the movie is poor and smacked of ?first men in the moon?. The special effects where above average for the day it was made and the acting was good apart from the Martians who way over acted and hammed it up far too much. The actors alk around looking a bit dazed as if they are nit...

Review of Flight to Mars

Flight Plan - Everyone thinks she's crazy.

Advantages: A good thriller, with an interesting story line.
Disadvantages: Perhaps not enough tension for some.

...This is a movie that I bought for £3 from Asda. It took me a long time to get around to viewing it, but when I did, I was pleasantly surprised. Flight Plan is a thriller directed by Robert Schwentke and starring Jodie Foster, Peter Sarsgaard, Erika Christensen, and Sean Bean. It was released by Touchstone Pictures in 2005, and is based on the classic film The Lady Vanishes, which was released 67 years earlier. I am a bit of a wimp these days when it comes to watching films. Anything over a 12 rating and I have to sit near the door. If there is any hint of violence I am usually known to go and make a cup of tea! Don?t get me wrong, I like a good action movie, I just find it hard to cope with the tension and violence. So was this movie too much for me? Did I have to spend the duration drinking earl grey or even worse a fruit tea...

Long Live The Flight of The Conchords

Advantages: One of the funniest comedies I have seen in a long time!
Disadvantages: No extras included on DVD

...There has been (and still is) a bit of a buzz surrounding the Flight of the Conchords. The intellectual and cool trendy people from broadsheet colour supplements were hailing it, and apparently the likes of Fearne Cotton and Konnie Huq were raving about it. As much as Fearne Cotton and Konnie Huq are highly regarded as the pillars of street cred, this alone was not enough to convince me to watch this DVD. I first came across the Conchords in action purely by accident, when I was flicking the channels. BBC Four were showing a Concords Special called One Night Stand. At first I thought it was a serious live performance of two men with acoustic guitars singing some songs. I soon realised though that these songs and the performances are some of the funniest comedy performances I have seen in a very long time. A few days later, I saw...

Review of Flight Of The Conchords - Series 1 (DVD)

Take Flight and laugh!

Advantages: An unusual, largely unheard of, comedy treat
Disadvantages: Quality varies over all 12 episodes, no DVD extras

...Allow me to clear this up for a start - 'Flight of the Conchords (FotC)' is NOT some kind of tribute DVD for faster than the speed of sound, now sadly defunct, aircraft. However, it IS a collection of the 12-part comedy series (seen by about 36 people on BBC4 in 2007) that originally launched on HBO in the USA. Focussing on New Zealand's 4th biggest folk band of the same name, Flight of the Conchords follows the adventures of an hirsute musical duo (New Zealanders Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie) as they try to make it big in New York. Whilst the pair play their roles seriously in the show , in real-life they write and sing parodies, perform at festivals and featured in a Radio 2 show that starred Rob Brydon as their manager! HBO seems to have a penchant for spotting comedic talent (have a look at my review of 'Entourage...

Dial-A-Flight and Korean Air

Advantages: As in review
Disadvantages: As in review

...A great trip - thanks to Dial-A-Flight and Korean Air (and a few tips) We just returned from visiting friends and family in New-Zealand. We had a great time travelling around and catching up with everyone but what topped the holiday off was the fact that our travelling to Auckland and back was so hassle-free! This is all thanks to Oscar - our booking agent at Dial-A-Flight. We booked 7 months ahead and as I am sure everybody does, searched the internet in depth to find the best available price for our selected dates. It appeared that Dial-A-Flight advertised the best prices and although hesitant about using agents we thought to give them a call. Oscar was very personal, helpful and put up with all my questions. They didn't have the offer available as advertised online as this is only an indication, but he quoted me the next...

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...
