Pulp Fiction: "Don't f'ing Jimmy me, Jules!".

Advantages: It's awesome.
Disadvantages: Not enough people have seen it

...Wow. Francois Truffaut's Jules et Jim is pretty good. - The production is superb. - The acting and performances are top-notch. - The direction and cinematographic features were the best of the era and are still widely admired today. - One of the highlights of La Nouvelle Vague. - It's referenced in everything from Pulp Fiction, Vanilla Sky and Amelie. It's a masterpiece, highly regarded by the greatest directors, actors and artists. Plot The film is set (initially) around the backdrop of the First World War, where a love triangle ensues between a Frenchman, a German and an Austrian. The core of the flim's plot and themes lie in the character of the attractive and vivacious Catherine, who maintains two very different relationships with the two men. With Jim, Catherine has a physical...

Review of Jules Et Jim (Subtitled) (Wide Screen) (DVD)

No subtitles needed here

Advantages: A rare EP from Julianne with even rarer extras on Amazon!
Disadvantages: Some of the tracks are a bit TOO different from her usual fare

...Jules Et Jim was another of Julianne Regans side projects that she explored after the original break up of her more famous band All About Eve. After the end of Mice (my "Because I Can" album review is also available on here) she had a break for 1 year before hooking up with Jean-Marc Lederman in 1999, the band as an entity only released 1 single (Swimming, which isn't on this release oddly enough) and this EP. Julianne Regan wrote & performed all vocals (apart from one) whilst Jean-Marc Lederman played all the instruments. So whats on Subtitles then? 01 - If Life Were A Movie. There are lots of movie references in this, I'll admit I can't spot half of them. Its got a great upbeat chorus which really makes a good contrast to the down toned main verses. Theres lots of drums (a drum machine I assume) but the other instruments are...

Review of Mister Candid - Jules Hardy

Jim Clark 1936-1968

Advantages: Greatest driver in the 1960s, a proper gentleman
Disadvantages: No longer with us

...This is a review of a number of sites in Scotland linked to the late Jim Clark which are little known about except to local residents & racing enthusiasts. Gentlemen Jim as he was affectionately known was probably one of the greatest racing drivers of his time. A time when motor racing was all about participating & winning, not the money & glamour obsessed sport it has now become where sponsorship deals are more important than anything else. He was born in Kilmany in Fife on the 4th March 1936, when he was four years old he moved with his parents to a farm in Duns in North Berwickshire. Just after his 17th birthday his career as a motor racing driver started racing a Sunbeam Talbot Mk3 Saloon after joining the Berwick & District Motor Club. He also raced his friends DKW, Porsche & his Sunbeam Talbot on the local airfields...

Review of Jim Clark

Earthworm Jim - Crazy Worm!

Advantages: Great gameplay, Fun
Disadvantages: Didnt release enough copies

...What a funky, hard ass worm! He is just slivering around one day, minding his own business, getting eating by crows and hiding in soil when a big funky, muscle bound, headless body falls from outer space. It lands on Earthworm Jim and he becomes ultra strong like some sort of super worm hero with big muscles! Sound good? Well get this.................... Not only is he super cool, he can also take off his head and use it as a whip to destroy oncoming enemies. You think thats cool? well guess what else he can do.................. He can use his head to grapple onto trees and hooks and swing like tarzan. I know what you are thinking, thats cool right? Well theres more................................. When he gets bored he uses his head as a skipping rope :-D On the PSP if you dont touch any buttons...

Voyages Jules Verne

Advantages: Some interesting destinations
Disadvantages: Expensive, and not concerned about customer satisfaction

...My husband and I travelled with Voyages Jules Verne (VJV) in June to Limone, on Lake Garda in Italy, a lovely resort, with fantastic scenery. We were not impressed with VJV and as well as completing their questionnaire when we left, I wrote a detailed letter outlining the issues which we had various aspects of the holiday. These included several problems with the supposedly 4-star hotel (probably would get 2 stars at most in the UK) - Butlins-style restaurant, mediocre food, no porters, 'tired' decor, English channels on TV not working, tiny single beds, no information, run on a shoestring.... We talked to the tour rep on one of the excursions and he said he'd passed on lots of complaints to the hotel and in fact the hotel had now 'banned' him, and it would probably not feature in VJV's brochure next year! There were other problems too...

Review of Voyages Jules Verne

Jim Davidson

Advantages: Extremely funny will always make you laugh
Disadvantages: Sexist, Racist, Crude etc

...I have seen Jim Davidson on stage three times in the last 12 months plus I am a woman. I know he gets a lot of bad press but the way he expresses his opinions is very funny. The DVD has some special extras that I can assure you are just as good as the show. Background Jim Davidson was born in Blackheath and from a young age he liked to be the centre of attention. Was going to follow in the foot steps of his brother and join the Navy but a girl told him not to so he didn't. He has been married, four times; his first marriage was when he was 18 years old. He admitted himself to a clinic for his alcohol addiction in 1994. Once he got his life back together he proved himself as a family entertainer on Big Break and The Generation Game. I still think he is best on stage doing what he does best, taking the p...

Review of Jim Davidson - Full On Live (DVD)

Chez Jules

Advantages: Good Quality Food, Good Atmosphere, Friendly Staff
Disadvantages: Limited Menu options

...I was introduced to Chez Jules about 18 months ago by a friend who swore it was the best restaurant in town, and I have to agree with him. Its situated on Ethel Street, Birmingham which is off the pedestrian area of New Street, near to the station. (Its the road with the large Pizza Hut on the corner). From the outside it does not look like much, purely because its only a doorway with black board outside with the days specials on it. Once through the doorway and up the stairs you enter the restaurant. There is seating available for both smokers and non smokers, for larger groups there are large bench type tables which can easily cater for an office full, or if you prefer, quite tables for 2 or 4 are available. From the seating area there is a view into the kitchens so you can see your food being prepared. The bar is...

Review of Chez Jules

Jim Clark, The Greatest FI Driver

Advantages: Great skill. Cool. Gentleman.
Disadvantages: Didnt always have the best car

...Scot Jim Clark. They were followed by three times World Champion driver the "Flying Scot" Jackie Stewart. Later there were great drivers such as Nelson Piquet,Nikki Lauda,Alan Jones,James Hunt, and in more recent times Damon Hill, Nigel Mansell, Alain Prost. Ayrton Senna,Mika Hakkinen and,of course,the current star,Michael Schumacher all come into the reckoning. So far we have only considered drivers who won the world champonship but there were drivers such as Stirling Moss,Ronnie Petersen,Derek Warwick, Chris Amon, and Bruce McLaren,who were greatly admired,although they did not win the world title. If you go only by statistics then I suppose the list has to read Fangio, Prost,Senna and Schumacher.These are undeniably great drivers and certainly among the finest of all time According to Alain Prost " Ayrton was certainly...

Review of Jim Clark

A Vote for Jim is a vote for a good old laugh!

Advantages: I cry with laughter
Disadvantages: Rude, sexist, racist and price of DVD

...This is a party political broadcast on behalf of the Purple Party; the leader of the party is Jim Davidson. I know I am going to get some stick for this but what if Jim Davidson was Prime Minister? For one thing he would not be walked over like some of them are (I'm not mentioning any names) and he would not take any crap, why because he knows where his nuts are! If you did not like that then I apologise but it is going to get worse. The Show = Jim Davidson has made this a very British live show including having the national anthem as he enters on stage with a very large Union Jack hung as the background. There is a speakers' podium in the centre of the stage and he is dressed in a pin stripped suit. As you probably would imagine Jim does have a good moan about Tony Blair but if you think it is over an hour of Jim...
