Get Your Claws Into Tiger Woods '10

Advantages: The controls are great
Disadvantages: Graphics are fairly average

...Plus costs around £16, but you can actually buy it packaged with this new Tiger Woods game for £46. Swing Like a Pro! In the past, doing anything like an authentic golf swing on a Tiger Woods game would result in a horrible hook or slice, which became incredibly frustrating when watching your ball soar into a bunker or a pond nine out of ten times - the addition of MotionPlus means that now you can take your real swing and use it in the game - and believe me, it works. The result is that Tiger Woods '10 is the best and most authentic representation of golf to date, and can be played by anyone from the complete novice to the seasoned pro. In fact Tiger Woods '10 has included a whole sub-game called 'Disk Golf' to show off the capabilities of MotionPlus. This mode gives you a chance to chuck around a frisbee on any of the courses...

Into the Woods you must go!

Advantages: Sondheim music, wit and talent!
Disadvantages: Complex storyline?

...A huge musical theatre fan I HAD to review this DVD. Original Story written by James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim (also a great book), this is really about what happens AFTER 'Happily Ever After'... Filmed at Broadways Martin Beck Theatre..... Simply the storyline consists of the family favourite fairy tales such as Jack & The Beanstalk, and Cinderalla, Rapunzel, Little Red Riding Hood, then blends in a story of a baker and his wife who long for a child. The Witch who pops into each story is played by the simply wonderful Bernadette Peters, The Prince Charming by Robert Westernberg.. In the first act, the characters set out to achieve their goal of living "Happily Ever After" through familiar routes - Cinderella goes to the Ball and captures the heart of Prince Charming, Jack climbs the Beanstalk and finds a land of Giants...

The Woods are Lovely, Dark and Musical

Advantages: Great songs, great performances, wonderful sets, great story
Disadvantages: None

...What do you get when you mix Cinderella, Rapunzel, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the Beanstalk and other fairy tales? You get a fantastic musical made for Broadway called “Into The Woods”. An interesting tale that weaves and entwines the stories with magic and music. With such acclaimed stage performances by stars such as Bernadette Peters and Robert Westenberg, you get a healthy serving of wonderful singing, light comedy and lessons in life served to you in a two act play. The first act blends familiar fairy tales with a new story of a baker and his wife who wish more than anything to have a child. However, the baker’s family has a curse on it, laid by the witch who lives next door. Unless they help the witch by collecting the items she needs for a spell, they shall never have a child. Without these items...

"I was raised to be charming... not sincere."

Advantages: witty, clever, great songs, great messages, great cast
Disadvantages: not enough people have found this yet!

...Once upon a time... Jack sold his beloved cow for a handful of magic beans that would change his life forever. Rapunzel let down her hair for a handsome stranger. Magic helped the neglected Cinderella attend the ball and meet her Prince Charming. A childless baker and his wife sold a basket of goodies to girl in a red cloak who was headed into the woods to visit her sick Granny, and the witch who lived next door revealed the curse upon the baker's family. Sooner or later, everyone must journey Into the Woods to find their happily ever after... but will it be what they expected? "Nice is different than Good." ~ Little Red Riding Hood ~~~~~~ My Thoughts ~~~~ This 1991 Stephen Sondheim Broadway musical is a must have for every family! Fortunately for us all, this production was filmed three years after the original stage...

Norwegian Wood

Advantages: many
Disadvantages: none

...The first thing I should say about my reading of Norwegian Wood was that in a single particular it was not faithful to the Japanese print run, which is that mine was a single printed and bound edition, and not the red-half, green-half you might come across.... having got that out of the way, I can tell you about the contents. Norwegian Wood is a rather condensed moment of poised literary brilliance. I approached it with trepidation, since it was so widely lauded and applauded and that, in the spirit of wilful cynicism, always throws a spanner into my appreciative works. But in this case, I was willing to go with the crowd, not in a loud, baying way, because it's simply not the kind of book that I feel merits that kind of reaction; it's a quiet, thoughtful, lyrical read, and as such deserves a quiet, thoughtful, admiring reaction...

  Will you be the next Tiger Woods?

Advantages: Great online play
Disadvantages: Have to buy extra courses.

...Introduction EA Have been making Tiger Woods games since the end of the 1990's. Although I'm not really a golf fan, I have tapped into this series on a couple of occasions previously with the 2004 and 2008 editions. Both these editions were on the PC so I decided to take the plunge and buy Tiger Woods 2010 on the Xbox 360. I was reluctant to pay the full asking price of £40, so when I saw it reduced to £30 in Game I decided to buy it. Real Time Weather For the first time, Tiger Woods 2010 boasts realtime weather. This means that if its raining on your selected course at the time you are playing your round, it will be raining in the game. This is a nice touch and is very appropriate when playing online tournaments as people who have the better conditions will have more of a chance of posting a decent score, sadly...

Into The Sinking

Advantages: Some nice underwater stuff
Disadvantages: Tired idea, Paul Walker, Uneven tone

...It is mid-morning in Los Angeles, the coffee has just been brewed and the bagels and muffins are still warm. One movie exec doesn't touch them because he's on a no-food diet. The other loads up on caffeine in an attempt to wake himself up after a night of snorting cocaine off a stripper's body. "Listen we've got nothing to follow the summer period and we need something for the kids, plus I've got my eye on a new condo in the hills" "Well I had an idea last night and it was hot" "Great! Let's hear it!" " We'll get some hot young actors and actresses, throw them in the Bahamas and have them walk around in nothing but shorts and bikinis." "I like it, what about the story?" "Who cares, we'll chuck them on the poster with next to nothing on" "Brilliant! Let's do a deal over lunch!" Into The Blue is one of those movies...

If You Go Down To The Woods Today.......

Advantages: Gripping story
Disadvantages: You won't want to put it down!

...Readers of my reviews will probably know that I am quite a fan of Harlan Coben. An author introduced to me by my daughter, and I am now reading my way through every book I can get my hands on that he has written! The Woods is another stand alone novel by Coben, and another fantastic thriller which I found difficult to put down until I had finished it, and had me hooked from the first page. In 'The Woods' we are introduced to Paul 'Cope' Copeland, a widowed parent and also a County Prosector, a position that does not sit too favourably with some people. His latest case is to get a conviction on two young students accused of date rape, one of whom has a rich and influential father who is determined he will stop at nothing to get his son off the hook, and after a few veiled threats don't work, employs a Private Investigator to try...

Review of The Woods - Harlan Coben

Whatever goes on Under Milk Wood?!!

Advantages: An unusual but highly interesting play for radio
Disadvantages: None

...for the South Wales Evening Post. It was at some point during 1933 that his poetry was gaining recognition but by then Dylan had moved to London and was fast gaining a reputation as being a drunkard. Like many accomplished poets Dylan based his work on what he `knew` and that included his beloved Wales, childhood, lost innocence, life and death and a huge helping of nostalgia. Dylan wrote his most famous radio play `Under Milk Wood` over a number of years. Some say that a visit to Newquay was the inspiration for the tale, others report that Dylan wrote the play as his stance against the atomic bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima, it was his way of saying to the world that there was still much beauty in our troubled world. Under Milk Wood beckons us to tune in to the ramblings of the Llareggub village ( a seaside village ) folk going about...
