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...

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...

Review of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 (Wii)

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...

Review of Into The Woods (DVD)

"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...

Review of Norwegian Wood - Haruki Murakami

  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 Paradise *

Advantages: Excellent Voices , Great
Disadvantages: One or two Songs I don't like

...All Angels are a British Classical group consisting of four girls : Charlotte Ritchie, Melanie Nakhla, Laura Wright, and Daisy Chute. The band was formed in 2005. To date the girls have had two albums All Angels and Into Paradise. Their music comes under the opera , pop , classical and crossover genres. * Sancte Deus * This song starts off with one singer, then two singers and then the rest of the group join in. This song is very 'church choir'. The music appears too loud , as can't hear voices in some places on the song and the vocals are not that too clear. Not my favourite song. * In Paradisum * The music is played quite fast although the vocals are slow. I don't really know what else to say about this song?um?..there is the sound of violins? * Make Me A Channel * This song starts off with all four of the girls singing. I...

Under Milk Wood - It's a play for voices boyo

Advantages: Fantastic words that are wonderful read or listened to.
Disadvantages: None for me

...'; and originated when When Thomas was staying at Newquay. On one of his early winter morning walks in the sleeping town ( ' all the people of the lulled and dumbfound town are sleeping now' to quote Thomas) stories and poems came into Thomas's mind about the sleeping inhabitants . He wrote the book in 1943 and recorded it for radio in 1945. For 8 years Thomas continued to work on the book until in 1953 it had become 'Under Milk Wood ', On a tour of the United States Thomas read some of the play in public and then recorded a performance of it. Dylan Thomas died two months later at the age of 39. Two months after he died the play was broascast on the radio by the BBC on 25th January 1954 with Richard Burton taking the part of the 'First Voice', one of the two narrators of the play, as he introdces us to village Llareggub ( Thomas's humour showing here as...

Review of Under Milk Wood - Dylan Thomas

Ecclesall Woods, Sheffield

Advantages: Lots Of History And Wildlife
Disadvantages: Some Footpaths Can Get Messy

...Boundary and Abbeydale Road South on the Southern Boundary. Since these are two of the most important routes into and out of Sheffield both of these Roads are very well served by Public Transport. At the very bottom of the Woods where they meet Abbeydale Road South this is where Millhouses Park begins. It could therefore be argued that this 32 acre Public Park is a further extension of Ecclesall Woods and it is certainly true to say that the majority of the Woodland Habitat that is found here is very similar to that found within Ecclesall Woods. The Woods are full of different Footpaths of varying length, size and quality. The larger, better quality Woods form part of a multitude of different trails that are each colour coded and clearly sign-posted. In fact there are over 15 Kilometres of Footpaths and Bridle-ways within Ecclesall Woods...
