The stunning Four Seaons Miami

Advantages: Luxurious, elegant hotel with excellent service
Disadvantages: Loation, location, loation

...I visited the Four Seasons in Miami in March 2006 after a somewhat frantic and frenetic trip to the theme parks in Orlando and was looking for a place to rest and relax and to be pampered as well as some nice places to explore and eat out. The 70 storey Four Seasons is located I the downtown financial district of Miami at Brickell Avenue and is home to not only the Four Seasons Hotel but also the HSBC bank headquarters and Four Seasons Residences; yes you can actually live in the Four Seasons Hotel for ever! Arrival and check-in. From the moment we arrived at the Four Seasons the service was implacable. The bell man who took our luggage even greeted myself and my companion by name having presumably sneaked a quick look at our luggage tags! We were greeted inside the door by a pleasant lady who took us to the seventh floor to...

Review of Four Seasons, Miami

Four reasons to read Different Seasons

Advantages: frequent breaks in stories, well written, cheap
Disadvantages: small writing, swearing

.... The balance of power shifts from one character to the other, each wanting to gain the upper hand. The man feels revulsion for the grinning boy, and yet still does whatever he asks, as he feels he?s being blackmailed ? he even dons an old soldier?s uniform, just for Todd?s amusement. Denker's inner demons are brought to the surface by a kid, and he has to fight with the knowledge of his past actions. Meanwhile Todd thinks he wants to know all the gruesome details, but soon his grades start to fall, he?s talking to himself, lying to his parents and his sleep is interrupted by cruel dreams. Just who is winning the mind games? Nasty and disturbing. But compelling reading. * The Body * This is the one I?d been waiting for! Remember the movie ?Stand by me?? Well this is the short story it was based on. Four young boys in the 1960...

Review of Different Seasons - Stephen King

Four Seasons in One Day

Advantages: Makes gameplay more exciting, more possibilities
Disadvantages: Addictive, takes up a lot of disc space

...points, age, name, personality, fitness, starsign, wants needs and aspirations. The 'Wants' and 'Fears' bars show what the sims would and would not like to do. If you fulfill a want, the sims earn aspiration points which can entitle you to buy new objects and grow up happy. Fulfill a fear and your sim can become unhappy...in extreme cases this leads to them going mad, begging on the street, talking to a flour bag baby or being hassled by the social bunny! Each Sim minute is one of our seconds and you can fast forward play so that you skip boring things like when they are asleep or at work. This means you can go through all four seasons in one day. Seasons ------------- This expansion pack was released in March 2007. Expansion packs are additional CD's that are installed ONTOP of the Sims 2 with extra themed content to make gamplay...

Review of The Sims 2 Seasons Edition (PC)

Four seasons are in my list of favourites

Advantages: All you can think of
Disadvantages: I can't think of any

...gave me a sore throat but I ate hundreds every year. Halloween. What fun, a party! And a chance to get the old broomstick out and practice flying round about. If you see me pass then give me a wave won?t you?? November, Dark and dank dismal days, log fires again, toast by the fire. Eating the last of the indoor ripened tomatoes, apples going wrinkly but sweet and juicy still. And what to look forward to??? That?s right folks. CHRISTMAS is nearly here again and then we can start all over again. I couldn?t live in a country that didn?t have the four seasons that we are lucky enough to have. I love each season, there is masses that I have left out, but I don?t want to bore you completely to death reading this. Thanks for reading, Sue :o) xx...

Review of My Favourite Season of the Year

Four parents, one Christmas

Advantages: Brilliant main actors, great storyline, fun festive film
Disadvantages: Lack of chemistry between Vaughn and Witherspoon, most of comedy in trailers, got a bit silly

...Brad and Kate are a happily in love couple who enjoy having fun without the responsibilities of marriage or children. For three years they've successfully managed to dodge the unwelcome Christmas season usually spent with family and have jetted off to many exotic locations. This year, having told each set of divorced parents that they won't be able to make Christmas again due to important charity work, they excitedly pack their bags ready for a hot Christmas in Fiji together. But arriving at the airport they find that their flight has been cancelled due to bad weather. When a news reporter interviews them, their families find out where they are and Brad and Kate both get phone calls inviting them round for the holidays. Doom falls upon them at the prospect of visiting four parents on Christmas day. And each visit is just as bad as...

Review of Four Christmases

FourFourTwo: A Thinking Man's Football Magazine

Advantages: Excellent journalism and phoography. High quality production.
Disadvantages: Slightly expensive, but even that is stretching it.

...INTRODUCTION There have been a number of magazines that have plopped through my letterbox over the years ? National Geographic, The Economist and What HiFi amongst them - but none of them have had the enduring appeal of Haymarket Publications? cerebral football magazine ? FourFourTwo (Drat. There go half of you already!) I have been an Arsenal season ticket holder for over ten years now and am a regular contributor to one of the fanzines (Oh well, that?s another batch of you alienated). However, despite proudly wearing the club colours, I am first and foremost a football fan and enjoy reading football literature (Stop sniggering, that is NOT an oxymoron). FourFourTwo (FFT) is without doubt the closest thing to a ?thinking man?s? football magazine. For those not of a football-minded disposition (well done for staying...

Review of Four Four Two

Four Points LAX Airport

Advantages: Nice quiet hotel, whcih didnot suffer from Airport noise
Disadvantages: Only good for airport stopovers, or business in the surrounding areas

...First of all I will say that the hotel Im writing about, is a mile and a half from Los Angeles International airport. I do know that Four points have other properies in the LA area. I would say that this hotel is a nice Four star hotel, the lobby is spacious, well lit and very clean. I was impressed by the check in service nothing to fill in except to sign your name and give them a look at your passport. I hope they didnot laugh too much at my photo!!! The Bell boy was friendly and told us about when breakfast was served, and the main facilities that the hotel had to offer, which saved a lot of time finding it about for myself. The bottom grade of room at this hotel was a deluxe room.Our room was mid sized with two queen beds. It was en suite bathroom which was again modern in marble with a bath. The bedroom was very clean...

Review of Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills, Los Angeles

~ Spilt in Four ~

Advantages: Excellent Comedy, Great Cast, Good story
Disadvantages: A little short

...~ Spilt in Four ~ Last night after a hard day job hunting and having interviews, we went to our local blockbuster and rented four films for £10. One of these which we watched last night was ?Four Christmases?. I remember this coming out a while ago and thinking it looked quite funny but forgot all about it till now. What made me noticed the film was mainly the famous cast and the plot. The cast consists of a range of well known stars including Vince Vaughan and Reese Witherspoon. I really like Vince and find his comedy great to watch, so this was a main reason for choosing the film. The film also included many other stars who I recognised playing the protagonists parents. The mixture of talent made it interesting and brilliant to see. Also Reese Witherspoon has not starred in a film for a while and it was intriguing to see these...

Review of Four Christmases (Blu-ray)

Fantastic Four

Advantages: good action film, special effects
Disadvantages: purists maybe upset

...Four (Mr. Fantastic, the Invisible Woman, the Human Torch and the Thing) are born, as well as new arch villain Dr Doom. Initially I had been told lots of bad things about the Fantastic 4 film. That it was not worth seeing. That it was a lemon of a film, and that it was not a true depiction of the Fantastic Four characters from the comics. The last of these reasons (to me) would not be very high on my reasons for not seeing the film as I had not read any of the comics and so I didn't know the true story of the characters, also this was a theatrical release and so would probably upset the purists anyway no matter how it was done. However I was still not completely confident when I inserted the disk. But how did it fair? I must say I was pleasantly surprised by the film and the different "take" it had on the other superhero films I have...
