Brilliant Holiday At Lady's Mile Touring Park!

Advantages: Clean Practical and good Location
Disadvantages: Showers and toilets CLEAN.... but dated.

...I went on my first ever camping holiday with my girlfriend at Lady's Mile and we had a brilliant time. It all went well we only had a minor leak in our tent which was our only problem with the whole week. Anyways, back to the park perfect location to get around and visit a lot of different seaside resorts and attractions. This was the main reason we picked the park and were a little apprehensive about lady's mile with a couple of bad reviews and some very good one. We arrived at 11 am in the morning and found the receptionist very friendly and helpful, we were given wristbands and an informational booklet and then told to find a pitch and enjoy your stay. Now I?ve been to a few caravan parks as a kid and I have never been asked to find a pitch, but there?s plenty, all different sizes and all close to the toilets and the showers...

The Spectacular World of Barenaked Ladies!

Advantages: A fantastic band and a brilliant album!
Disadvantages: Not everyone will like every track.

...Never one to shy away from a challenge, I've decided it's about time I jumped in feet first into the music category. So without further ado, I'd like to welcome you to the quirky, fantastical world of the Barenaked Ladies. About the Band Barenaked Ladies are a Canadian alternative rock band, renowned for their comedic lyrics, humorous rapping and general quirky take on songs. The band began as a duo with founding members Ed Robertson and Steven Page, playing their first live gig on October 1st, 1988. They then recruited more members and released their first full album, Gordon, in 1992, quickly achieving success in Canada. More albums followed and the popularity of the Barenaked Ladies increased. Even I graced them with my presence at a live performance at V2000, which is, of course, a recognized achievement amongst many...

* The Naked Mile *

Advantages: Some bits are funny
Disadvantages: Not so good as the rest!!!

...American Pie : The Naked Mile is the is the fifth American Pie , following American Pie : Band Camp. The movie was released on DVD in the United Kingdom on 19th December 2006. This film was directed by Joe Nussbaum. Running time of the movie is 97 minutes. The unrated version lasts for 102 minutes. The film is about Steve Stiffler's cousin Erik. For those of you who have not seen an American Pie film ; Stiffler is the 'mad/wild/rude' character in the first three American Pies. So this movie focuses on Stiffler's cousin who is nothing at all like Stiffler , and so he feels under pressure to live up to his 'cousin's' wild ways. The title of the movie is 'naked mile' because the college students have to run a mile naked! I am a major fan of the first three American Pie films. The storylines are great , the characters I grew fond...

Review of American Pie Presents The Naked Mile (DVD)

The great green mile

Advantages: Excellent film
Disadvantages: none

...Never before have I seen a film that has done the book justice. The Green Mile was adapted from the book with the same title written by Stephen King. Because I had read the book first, quite some time ago, I wasn`t expecting it to be that good even though I`d read some great reviews about it. Death row is known as the long mile, but because this row had green flooring it was named the green mile. The leading actors in this film are Tom Hanks who plays the character Paul Edgecomb, Michael Clarke Duncan( John Coffey), Sam Rockwell ( Wild Bill), Michael Jeter (Edward Delacroix), Doug Hutchinson (Percy Wetmore), and David Morse (Brutus"brutal"Howel). John Coffey, the very lovable, gigantic black man, is sentenced to death row for the murder of two little girls. This was the only character who was not as I pictured him in my mind...

Gr8t Mile

Advantages: Story, Acting, Soundtrack
Disadvantages: Not for those that do not like hip-hop/rap

...8 Mile Movie: Life has not been kind to Jimmy 'B-Rabbit' Smith (Eminem). His pregnant girlfriend broke up with him and he gave her his car, although he finds out that she was just pretending. He has a dead end job in a car manufacturing plant and because he is homeless he has to move in with his mum and baby sister in a trailer park. But B-Rabbit has a dream, he wants to be a rapper and we see him at the beginning of the film preparing for his "battle" in the grimy toilets of a dilapidated night club called The Shelter, he is nervous and actually vomits in the toilets before making his way through the hyped up crowd to the stage, the crowd is mainly black youths, the other rapper he is battling against is black as are his crew, with the exception of his friend Cheddar Bob (Evan Jones) he is the only white guy there; a white guy in...

The "Miles_Gurtu" experiment

Advantages: A blend of intricate beats, varied jazzy melodies and experimental soundscapes.
Disadvantages: Over-tweaking disrupts the ambience occasionally. No mainstream appeal. Some tracks don't work.

...Take a Swiss-Italian ambient trance producer (Robert Miles) and blend together with an Indian percussionist (Trilok Gurtu). Add other talented musicians to the mix and allow to simmer gently, making sure you season generously with electronic sculpting and processing. The resulting album is an interesting fusion of acoustic instruments, electronic processed sounds, intricate beats, jazz and experimental soundscapes. Released in 2004, ?MilesGurtu? (the 4th album by Robert Miles) is very different from the dream trance that he became famous for. It builds on his previous album ?Organik? (released in 2001), which was his first attempt at creating an experimental sound. This album is characterised by being completely instrumental although 3 tracks feature vocal samples. Double bass, strings, guitar and rhodes performances feature frequently...

Review of Miles_Gurtu - Robert Miles & Trilok Gurtu

What happens on the Mile, stays on the Mile

Advantages: Fantastic film with great special features
Disadvantages: No other film stands a chance against it!

...Paul Edgecomb is a security guard, but he is a prison guard with a difference. He is a prison guard of imminent death - guarding men whose life would end unnaturally, and whose final steps would be taken down the iconic "Green Mile" The scene is Cold Mountain Penitentiary, Louisiana and the time is during the Great Depression. Edgecomb was the head prison guard of death row that had been renamed the Green Mile due to the green floors in the wing. Here Edgecomb and his team of competent and diligent prison guards watch over the men whose heinous crimes have caused them to be tried, convicted and sentenced to death. One day a new inmate joins the "Green Mile" by the name of John Coffey, an incredibly tall, well built black man who has been convicted of savagely raping and murdering two little white girls...

The Green Mile

Advantages: Good, original story
Disadvantages: Bit long

...Introduction ~~ Based on the Stephen King novel the Green Mile and directed by Frank Darabont the Green Mile is the finest film of 1999 in my opinion. Though despite it still being an excellent film it doesn’t quite match up to the book and I would recommend that you see the book before the film. It is within the walls of Coal Mountain Louisiana State Penitentiary's death which the prison guards nickname the Green Mile that the majority of the story takes place. **Please don’t read the bottom bit of the opinion if you haven’t seen it as it may spoil it! Story ~~ The story is told almost entirely in flashback form with a few modern-day sequences where we see Paul Edgecomb as an elderly man. The telling of the story in flashback form works well as it matches the structure the Stephen King novel used...

8 Mile Film Review

Advantages: Rap Battles
Disadvantages: Uninteresting plot and characters

...If hearing Eminem's voice on numerous radio stations and music television channels wasn't enough, director Curtis Hanson decided to create the rags-to-riches Hip-Hop musical 8 Mile to exhaust all mainstream possibilities and tell the world how great the white rapper is. I don't really hate Eminem: Admittedly, I did enjoy some of the tracks on The Marshall Mathers LP (which I regard as the height of his career as a music artist). It's just that anything he has done since then seems like an excuse to make Hip-Hop more acceptable to a commercial audience. Gone are the days of him wanting to "Kill You": He now prefers to dress up as a superhero for the video of "Without Me", declaring himself as the saviour of popular music. After all, a white face at the forefront of the culture means more money for the A & R offices of the music industry...
