Oil those Gaellic knees - The Frenchman's Creek !!

Advantages: A wonderful book full of imagery and romance
Disadvantages: None for me

... FRENCHMAN'S CREEK DAPHNE DUMAURIER "When the east wind blows up Helford River the shining waters become troubled and disturbed and the little waves beat angrily upon the sandy shores. " Frenchman's Creek Sorry about this but I'm back with another of my all time favourites, yet another from the pen of Dame Daphne Du Maurier - Frenchman's Creek. There is a reason that Daphne du Maurier's books are classics today and that reason is her wonderful haunting use of language. All her books, are so beautifully written and the Cornish ones epitomise the timeless, lonely quality of Cornwall and makes the reader feel that they are there. Frenchman's Creek was published in 1941, written at a low time in Du Mauriers life as her husband, Tommy, was away at war and her children and nanny were all ill - so it was...

Review of Frenchman's Creek - Daphne Du Maurier

Dilemnas by the Frenchman

Advantages: You get fresh skin !
Disadvantages: Little blood maybe !

...and wants you to pull the chair from underneath his feet. He says that if you don't he will not only kill your son but at least one other prisoner. You know that he means it. What do you do? RESPONSE Hum.. hard one.. Just got a Littl?Un and am thinking what I would do.. If my Littl?Un is condemned, I would try to kill the guard.. If I lose, well, I die, might as well since I am not sure I could live with the guilt of pushing the chair.. If I win, well, I probably would die but I would have got rid of a f***** piece of s*** that does not deserve to live. And unlike a fellow frenchman, I won?t be using the chair !! DILEMMA A man who has threatened to explode several bombs in crowded areas has been arrested. He has already planted the bombs and if they go off, many people will die. He won't say a word, and the only way to make him is by...

Review of Moral Dilemmas

Furious Frenchman Freaks Out

Advantages: Stylish, fast-paced, well-acted and directed.
Disadvantages: Violent

...here and very convincingly. His character, Oliver, is a London cokehead who fancies himself as a hard man, Kemp plays it to perfection, I thought the scene where he was playing with his shotgun was especially funny and well-observed. This film is action packed from start to end, it is dark, violent, fast-paced and very stylish. The soundtrack is well chosen and really accentuates the action scenes. The band of bank robbers assembled by Eric were all believable and totally incompetent. It was the Frenchman who really made this film for me though, he is a maniac and the final revelation about his motivations packed quite a punch. It was refreshing to see a film set in Paris with an international cast, and Avery did enough, I thought, to avoid just retreading old ground (the bank robbery storyline isn't new but he has a fresh twist...

Review of Killing Zoe (DVD)

Hello. I am a Frenchman.

Advantages: learning English
Disadvantages: difficulty

...First, people who dislike spelling mistakes should read another opinion. I am a Frenchman and I try to learn your beautiful language. In spite of my graduation, writing in English is sometimes hard. I tried below to write an essay in about 250 words because it is the norm for academic essays in my country. Now, I would like to cope with my difficulties and that is why I will begin my essay. I would like to tell you a few words about me. I am a Frenchman. I am 22 years old. I passed the French "baccalaureat" in 1999 with honours. That is to say that I got the distinction "very good" (more than 16 out of 20) at the exam (which is somewhat the English A level). After this exam, I entered in a kind of prep' school. This prep school enabled to enter in one of the best commerce schools like HEC, ESSEC and ESCP. I decided not to...

Zonta and Panis Swap

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

...Ricardo Zonta could be in line for a job swap with Olivier Panis, who replaced him at BAR yesterday. Zonta has admitted he has been offered Panis? job as McLaren test driver for next year, and has also been approached by Jordan about fulfilling a similar role for them. Williams are also thought to be interested, while Sauber could give him a race drive. The experienced Panis has been at outstanding success at McLaren and the team was desperate to hang onto him. Boss Ron Dennis has praised the Frenchman?s contribution, and his stock has risen considerably. Zonta may now get a similar opportunity to revive his flagging reputation....

Review of Ricardo Zonta

PS2 war game that may not be for everyone

Advantages: Battle scenes are graphically very good, quite a lot to play through
Disadvantages: Bad voice acting, the graphics do not hold out over the playable bits

...It sounds like the name of a soft toilet tissue. Perhaps a lip balm for snog-happy teenagers. Or maybe a new fragrance from an obscure, slightly camp Frenchman. Alas, Kessen is none of these. The literal translation means 'strategic battle' and you should assume that Kessen is a war game of sorts. Taking the role of Leyasu, one of Japan's most fearsome warlords, the basic aim is to march across enemy lines and reduce their force to a bloody mush of cartilage. Ah, but if it were only that simple. Before a single limb is hacked off, before a single eye is poked out, there is much work for a general to attend to. Officer development, army recruitment, managinf morale, organising troop movement and devising cunning battle strategies - only once these matters are dealt with do we get to see the eye popping fight scenes. The sheer...
