Odeon - Liverpool's Number One

Advantages: Good sized screens, great auditoriums, caters for everyone,
Disadvantages: Popcorn sometimes cardboardy, expensive chocolate treats,

...I am a huge cinema fan, and living in the centre of Birmingham for the last couple of years has meant putting up with Odeon Birmingham. Needless to say, I was very happy to discover the brand spanking new Odeon in Liverpool One, Odeon Liverpool One Odeon is actually the largest cinema chain in the UK, created by Oscar Deutsch in 1928. Some say that the name comes from Ancient Greek, others say that it comes from the motto Oscar Deutsch Entertains Our Nation. There are currently... a lot of Odeon cinemas across the UK (I tried to count, but it's a lot!). The website has a cinema finder to help you locate your nearest. For this review I shall be talking about Odeon, Liverpool ONE. When Liverpool ONE was redeveloped, the city centre Odeon branch was relocated here. The entrance can be found...

Review of Odeon Liverpool (City Centre)

Once upon a time, in Liverpool...

Advantages: An excellent museum dedicated to the Fab Four, suitable for all age groups
Disadvantages: Some of the headsets are a bit dodgy (it was just mine) and some displays not working

...This time during the month of Beatlemania, instead of just writing about the bands albums, films and death theories, I wanted to write about some of the ways in which Liverpool still celebrate the lives of their favourite sons (beside the football players!). Although Ringo made a few disparaging comments towards his hometown a year or two ago, the phrase ?everyone has to start somewhere? springs to mind and ? although I may be a little bias ? I would have to say that Liverpool is very much the land of opportunity compared to where I live! Right at the heart of the city is Albert Dock, a place now surrounded by various shops, museums and even a hotel with the Echo Arena mere feet away. When I was very little, perhaps six, I remember Mummy and Daddy, as they were affectionately called back then, taking my Brother and I right near...

Review of The Beatles Story, Liverpool

Liverpool Football Club

Advantages: Great squad, great fans, great manager, great history
Disadvantages: No league title for 16 years

...the bad spotlight. He quickly regained his form and produced a man of the match performance against Manchester United to help Liverpool win the Worthington Cup. More recently he has produced heroics that surely nobody could forget in the Champions League final. After seeming dead and buried at 3-0 down at half time Liverpool somehow levelled it with a magnificent second half performance. Extra time saw Jerzy make one of the best double saves ever from Andriy Shevchenko with just seconds on the clock. He then went on to produce heroics in the penalty shoot out and the rest, as they say, is history. 2. Jan Kromkamp Born on 17th August 1980 in Makkinga, Holland, Jan is a recent addition to the squad. He started out with Go Ahead Eagles in 1998 and, after making 61 appearances, was snapped up by AZ Alkmaar. He rose to prominence thanks to...

Review of Liverpool

Liverpool in trouble

Advantages: One of the biggest clubs in Europe...
Disadvantages: ...going through their worst run in 50 years.

...Picture the scene; it's early November and after a 2-0 win against West Ham, Liverpool went seven points clear at the top of the Premiership and were striding towards a place in the next round of the Champions League, it appeared that it would have to take something very special to knock them out of their stride. Three months on and defeats to the likes of Middlesborough and Sunderland have seen Liverpool slump down the Premiership with no wins in eleven games and an early exit from the Champion League at the hands of little known Swiss club Basle. So where has it all gone wrong for the mighty reds? Every pundit, fan and his dog has had their two pence worth. Excuses and reasons range from poor management and lack of commitment from the players, to wrong formation and wrong players. I think the problem is much simpler...

Review of Liverpool

UPDATED Liverpool FC Treble winners 2001

Advantages: On their Day can Beat absolutely ANYONE
Disadvantages: Cant we just win something the easy way for once

...Oh well, I think its about time I re-wrote my opinion on Liverpool, I wrote the original opinion earlier in the season, when we where showing terrible inconsistency, but it seems this got sorted out, as we went on to win a “HISTORIC TREBLE”, by winning the Worthington Cup, The FA Cup and the U.E.F.A Cup, a fete that has never been done by any English team, and hopefully we can round off a great season on Saturday, by gaining the third Champions League place, by beating Charlton Athletic. The Worthington cup was won in Cardiff on the 25th of February, by beating a very brave and committed Birmingham City, who took us all the way to penalties, after the match ended 1-1 after extra-time, maybe this was the warning to us Liverpool fans, that if we won this Treble, it would be at the cost of our Health and Sanity, as this was...

Review of Liverpool

Lively Liverpool

Advantages: I live here
Disadvantages: Some shops aren't here, the weather

...Whether you were born here, visit or just come to study here, Liverpool will always hold a special place in your heart. Liverpool is one of those deceptively small cities that squeeze in so much - culture, entertainment, sports, religion… There is nothing that Liverpool does not have to offer. CULTURE: Liverpool has several theatres - The Empire (the largest and arguably the best), The Playhouse at Williamson Square, The Neptune on Hanover Street, The Unity Theatre, the Royal Court, Everyman and of course the Philharmonic Hall - so you're guaranteed to find something to suit your tastes, whether you want a concert, musical or play. There are also 3 museums - HM Customs & Excise National Museum which is inside the Merseyside Maritime Museum at Albert Dock (you can find out the history of Customs & Excise as well as the slave...

Review of Liverpool in general

Liverpool...good,bad,ugly

Advantages: entertainment
Disadvantages: emotional rollercoaster

...Ah,now where do i start? The love of my life and also the bain of it too. Liverpool fc,the colourful,famous,entertaining,boring,frustrating and all be it said,somewhat disappointing of late.A team of super talented blokes that give me an emotional rollercoaster ride year after year. I dont expect everyone to understand the passion of football and personally over the last 30 years i have been lucky enough to follow liverpool all over europe,some would say 'waste of money' others would say 'is it that important',well in a word yes it is. Many sports offer the same sort of passion but when all said and done i think you cant beat football for its sheer entertainment value. This is where i believe Liverpool hold the key to giving the fans what they want most of the time. Anfield,the home of liverpool is a stadium where no other set...

Review of Liverpool

Come on Liverpool

Advantages: New stadium
Disadvantages: Leaving Anfield

...I have been a Liverpool supporter for the last twenty years, since I was seven years old. Memories from the Eighties of Liverpool winning everything , championships, fa cups, league cups and european cups. Memories of the nineties of Liverpool winning nothing except the fa cup. This forthcoming season I think will be the turning point for us Liverpool fans, the squad now has depth and a manager who seems right for the job, so come on Liverpool lets shut these glory supporters of other teams up. COME ON LIVERPOOL. COME ON LIVERPOOL. YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE....

Review of Liverpool

Lively Liverpool

Advantages: Lively,exuberant,night life. Cheap food.
Disadvantages: Rainy .

...Liverpool is one of my favourite cities in the UK,as it is for the well known American born travel writer Bill Bryson. The city has a wonderful waterfront with attractive 20 th century buildings such as the Cunard Building,the Liver Birds, and then there is the lovingly restored Albert Dock,one of Britain's most popular tourist attractions. There are architectural gems in the city such as the elegant Adelphi Hotel, the arcades, and some of the buildings in Water Street. Matthew Street has associations with the Beatles, and there is the famed Walker Art Gallery that is well worth a visit. Liverpool has a lively night life. There are some magnificent pubs in this old maritime city such as the Philarmonic,a great favourite of the late John Lennon.Eating out opportunities are stupendous with the likes of Indian,Somali, Greek, Chinese...

Review of Liverpool (England)

Lovely Liverpool Lodgings!

Advantages: Clean comfortable, cheap, good location
Disadvantages: poor selection of drinks in bar, low standard of service

...Hotel Campanile (a French chain) is now well established as a chain throughout the United Kingdom so when I was looking for a room at quite short notice in Liverpool I did not hesitate to reserve one here despite the fact that I had never stayed in one before. Of the chain hotels which came up when I searched on the internet, this was the cheapest and the excellent location meant that I did not have to compromise. The main shopping area is just a few minutes away and tourist attractions such as The Beatles Story, the Tate Liverpool and The Albert Dock are practically on the door-step. The Liverpool hotel is situated well-back from the main road which stretches along the rejuvenated docks area of the city. This means that you have the convenience of the location without any of the traffic noise. We arrived in the city by train...
