The Good, the Bad and the Ugly review

Advantages: Well written, well acted, incredible finale
Disadvantages: May be a bit long for some people

...The Good, the Bad and the Ugly stars Clint Eastwood as Blondie, a professional gunslinger out trying to make a few bucks. Angel Eyes is a hit man who always sees his job through, as long as he is paid. And Tuco, a wanted outlaw only out for himself. These three find out about a stash of gold buried in a cemetery, and must battle it out with each other to see who gets it. This is truly an epic film in every sense of the word. Fantastic sprawling shots show the isolation that a lot of these people were in, and the music reflects that. Aside from the classic opening tune, it's very minimalistic, sometimes only the wind howling being the only thing on the soundtrack. Occasionally you get a gentle strum on the guitar, and a lone trumpet, which really reflects the loneliness and the vastness between neighboring towns, where people traveling...

Bad Singer gone good

Advantages: Improved singing, Good songs
Disadvantages: A few weak songs

...Girl Gone Bad** The Third album from Rihanna was released on 30th May 2007 and has featured a whopping eight singles with four of them turning into number one hits. She worked with well known producers Stargate, Jay Z and Neyo amongst other lesser known producers including Evan Rogers, Carl Sturken and Christopher "Tricky" Stewart. 1.) Umbrella This was the first single from the album and was a hugely talked about track with people either loving or hating it, At the time it was out I really could not listen to it for more than a minute without getting annoyed but I listen to it now and can appreciate it as a good club track which it was huge at the time in clubs. 2.) Push Up on Me Amazingly this uptempo track was co written with Lionel Richie, It has a very catchy feel and has a vibe that would go down well in a club. One...

The Good The Bad and The Ugly - The Best

Advantages: Amazing story, amazing action, amazing gunfighting and beautiful background music
Disadvantages: A bit lenghty

...The Good the bad and the ugly is one of the best all time classic mvoies that I have ever watched in my whole entire life. It is soo cool, the style of clint eastwood the good and then the bad's killing style and comedy of the ugly is just amazing. The movie potrays the life of all these three amazing characters and then how they all end up meeting and their lifes intersect. The movie has amazing drama and amazing action, gun fights and all old western style which is just fabulous to watch. This is a must watch movie before you die. The story is amazing as well, a movie which everyone in your family can watch. The only thing is that the movie is a bit lenghty but it doesnt make a difference as you'll be enjoying it all the while. And then there is the best classci style background music which you will be humming even after the movie ends....

Good Girl Gone Bad - Rihanna

Advantages: Slick production with some great party tunes, and some classic ballads
Disadvantages: The original release doesn't include Disturbia or Take a Bow and features a few weak fillers

...Good Girl Gone Bad, marks the gear change for Rihanna from a run-of-the-mill Radio friendly act (see: SOS, Pon De Replay) into the international superstar class category that such a fine voice deserves. When my girlfriend first picked this album up I have to say I was apprehensive about being force fed a diet of nothing but Rihanna for the foreseeable future. Whilst Umbrella (Track 1) was undoubtedly one of the signature tracks of 2007, I was unsure whether the rest of the album would prove to be so good. Yet GGGB proved my doubts wrong - a largely upbeat, dancey fest of simple but memorable tunes, slipping straight from the slower opening track to the groovy club-friendly Push Up On Me (co-written by soul legend Lionel Ritchie). From there the album swings on to the Michael Jackson 'Wanna Be Starting Something' sampling mega...

I have good news and bad news

Advantages: better than his second book
Disadvantages: could be confusing

...After being thoroughly unimpressed by David Wolstencrofts second novel I had no intentions of looking for this one but when I spotted it lurking on pile at a recent carboot sale for mere pennies (and I had just found a fiver in the ashtray of my car) I decided to give it a try. Wolstencroft was one of the team behind the tv show Spooks so it will be no surprise to learn that his books follow the other people in the same line of work. Good News Bad News, opens with two men tossing a coin to make a phone call, as one of the men goes to the phonebox to make the call a motorcycle appears on the street and blows the whole thing up. From this point we are taken back two days to find out exactly why these two men are tossing coins before making calls and why it is that someone wants to kill them. Charlie and George are forced to...

Snow - is it good or bad

Advantages: good fun
Disadvantages: becomes slushy, and slippy

...The £64'000 question - is snow good or bad? In my opinion, it can be a mixture of both. When it snows rather lightly, on a wet ground, and starts to lie, it can be rather slippy, which I don't like - nothing worse than falling flat on your face! When it snows heavy however, it erradicates the slippyness, and becomes fairly easy to walk on. The snow creates a great deal of excitement - whether it be snowball fights, or just generally playing about like a big kid :D. This leads me on to the fact as to why local authorities insist on throwing grit on the pavements- this just makes the ground more slippy! Yeah, I must admit, on a driving point of view ( which I don't do as yet), grit is required, but in terms of walking, grit just melts the now, making it all slushy, and therefore makes the walking conditions treacherous...

Good Book, Bad Book

Advantages: Teaches resilience, inspiring, full of common sense
Disadvantages: The ideology, extreme rightwing politics, overly-critical of therapy

...Bad Childhood, Good Life is pretty controversial - especially if, like me, you have no idea who Dr. Laura Schlessinger is and aren't familiar with her own particular brand of therapy. She's the host of a radio advice show in the US and has a PhD in Physiology from Columbia University and a certification in Marriage, Family and Child Counselling from the University of Southern California. She also holds extreme rightwing views, which is apparent in this book, and preaches 'ethics' over everything else. Her opinions are so extreme that they were parodied in Frasier, in the episode with Dr. Nora. It's a shame that she is so strident with her views, referring to living together before marriage as 'shacking up' and saying it's for people who aren't serious about their relationship. Funny that, as all four of my married cousins lived...

Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded - Rihanna

Advantages: A great catchy album, a variety of tunes and beats, a mixtures of pop, r'n'b, soul
Disadvantages: none

...I purchased this album about a month ago and having been a big fan of Rhianna's music since her first single ponde-replay I was very excited to listen to her long awaited album. Rihanna's multi-platinum selling third album 'Good Girl Gone Bad' is re-released with a host of additional content for fans to enjoy. 'Umbrella', one of the biggest hits of 2007, sent Rihanna into the hearts of R&B fans across the globe, while her album proved she was no 'one hit wonder'. Her soulful and upbeat lyrics are complimented well here by appearances from the likes of Jay-Z and Justin Timberlake. The album is well put together and I enjoyed almost all of the songs on this nice album with one of my favourites being the ever so popular umbrella track which always get me up and dancing. I also really enjoy listening to Rehab and Disturbia as its has...

* Good Girl , Got Better *

Advantages: Catchy Songs , Great Lyrics
Disadvantages: Couple of Weak Tracks

...Robyn Rihanna Fenty was born on February 20th 1988 in Saint Michael , Barbados. She is currently twenty years of age. She received her big break in 2003 at the age of fifteen when her friend saw music producer Evan Rogers on vacation in Barbados and introduced Rihanna to him. She made a demo and they sent it off to music producers in America , including Jay-z. Soon after she was signed to the record label she is still signed to today; Def Jam Recordings. Rihanna first gained fame when she burst onto the music scene in 2005 at the age of seventeen with her debut single 'Pon De Replay'. Rihanna has been compared to Beyonce , although I think that she has her own style. Rihanna was even once described as 'The Next Britney '. Rihanna just keeps better and better and has recognisably improved since her last album. Good Girl Gone Bad is...

Great Westerns- The Good, the Bad and The ugly

Advantages: Great Performances, Haunting Background Score, Wonderful Cinematography,Superb Direction
Disadvantages: Slow Pace, Quite Violent

...When one speaks of Western movies two names instantly come to mind John "The Duke " Wayne and Clint Eastwood . When I was growing up as a kid in the 70's and 80's, John Wayne was a very distant memory, but Clint was a hero most of us adored. For us the definition of cool meant Clint Eastwood . And there were a series of movies which immortalized Clint's style, Where Eagles Dare , Dirty Harry and of course The Good, The Bad and The Ugly . The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, was the third in the series of what many call as Dollars Trilogy or what many American critics would derisively call as Spaghetti Westerns . They were called as Spaghetti Westerns as they were directed by Sergio Leone who was of Italian origin and many were shot in Spain . The Good, The Bad and The Ugly was preceded by For a Few Dollars More...
