My Precious ( lord of the rings trilogy)

Advantages: best dvd collection you can own,
Disadvantages: need plenty of time to see the film

...Probably this film "LORD OF THE RINGS TRILOGY " have been reviewed many times. But I would still like to share my experience with this brilliant film by Peter Jackson. Everything about this film is perfect! I would suggest you to sit tight and don't let anyone disturb you while watching it, you will definitely miss something important if you did. Actually it happened to me so i just warn you! Don't make the same mistake as i did. Luckily i have the DVD set and i can watch it anytime i want to. Anyways here are some briefing on what to expect. The Lord of the Rings film trilogy consists of three live action fantasy epic films: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001), The Two Towers (2002) and The Return of the King (2003). The trilogy is based on the three-volume book The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien. While they follow the book...

Good Lord!

Advantages: Tasty, well balanced session strength bitter.
Disadvantages: Not the bestest Thornbridge beer!

...In the latest in my series of reviews about the beers from one of my local breweries I would like to tell you about one of their selection that seems to be the most readily available in my area at the moment. Over the past few weeks we have been out and about sampling beers in some of our local pubs ~ these pubs were all contenders in our local Spring Pub of the Season award. Out of the ones we visited some of them had beers on offer from Thornbridge and the name that cropped up most often was Lord Marples. As a person who likes to support their local breweries it seemed churlish not to give them a try (and it also gave me a chance to try a quality control test by drinking the same brand in a few different places). ~~~THE BREWERY. The "Baby Brewery" at Thornbridge Hall is so called because it started off as a kind of off...

Lord of the Flies

Advantages: Good for school level as people of similar age in story
Disadvantages: Can be long and repetitive at times

..."How does William Golding's "Lord of the Flies" explore human nature?" In your answer you should mention Golding's use of symbolism, characterisation, setting or any other appropriate feature that helps to develop the writer's theme. William Golding's "Lord of the Flies" artfully sets out to explore the vital theme of human nature. The novel is in response to the atrocity of the holocaust and asks how our human nature allowed this evil to take place. Golding sets out to answer the question "Are we all potentially evil?" Golding questions our human nature by describing a group of young teenage boys onto an idyllic deserted island. Slowly through the book the perfect world descends into chaos and savagery. To question our human nature Golding uses a broad spectrum of believable characters. There are no adults, only children...

Review of Lord of the flies - William Golding

Lord of the Flies

Advantages: engaging interesting story
Disadvantages: Some wooden acting, editing of the film

...Lord of the Flies ? 1963 Today, this story is probably not as powerful as it was back in 1963 when it was filmed or in 1954 when William Golding?s book was published. These days we have all become desensitised to the violence and random, meaningless killings that seem to happen on a daily basis, especially in this day and age when children whom are only three or four years older than those depicted in the film do far worse things than was ever shown within the running time of this feature. It could be said however that the film was a premonition of how lousy things were to become in the early 21st century. The film is set during an unspecified period of time where tensions about Nuclear holocaust are running high. Children are being evacuated, although they are being evacuated from the country rather than out to the country side...

Lord of the Cinema

Advantages: Fantastic Effects
Disadvantages: pins and needles sitting in cinema

...Wasn't keen to see this in cinema at first because it was so long, persuaded by my hubby, loved it so much, went along another couple of times, WOW! Man, director Peter Jackson is 2 for 2 for Lord of the Rings. Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers is the second part in what many are in my opinion correctly saying is the greatest trilogy in film. LOTR: TTT is just as good as Fellowship, in fact I thought it was better (effects blew me away). New characters are introduced and they are just as interesting as the great cast of the first film. Bernard Hill is noticeably good as King Theoden who has a powerful scene at the grave of his son. I also liked Faramir. Yes, he is different from the book but I thought David Wenham's performance was heartfelt and real. Miranda Otto(Eowyn), Karl Urban(Eomer), and Brad Dourif(Grima Wormtongue) round...

Lord of the Wrongs

Advantages: Strong visual effects and great costume designs.
Disadvantages: Forgettable music and songs, and drastic alterations to the original story.

...I felt very nervous when I went to see The Lord of the Rings at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane. Firstly, I'm probably the biggest fan of the books that I know. I re-read them once every year, and I even wrote my dissertation on Tolkien when I was at university (don't judge me). On top of that, I absolutely love musicals, and have seen and performed in more than I can count. I can't tell you how much I wanted to enjoy this. For those of you that aren't quite as big Tolkien fanatics as myself, and are unfamiliar with the story, let me provide you with a much-simplified overview of the plot: The Lord of the Rings is essentially the tale of a hobbit (or halfling) of the Shire, called Frodo, who inherits a magical invisibility ring from his uncle Bilbo. The ring came to Bilbo on a previous adventure, in which he encountered...

Darren Shan - Lord Loss

Advantages: Very easy to read and to get into. very humouress along with gripping.
Disadvantages: you really only get it in its full glory if the sequels are read.

...Lord Loss is the first book of the ten book saga of the ?Demonata?writtenby Darren Shan. The Demonata is the second series that Shan has written coming after the widely successful Saga of Darren Shan (aptly named I guess). ?Lord Loss? was released June 6th 2005 within the UK. Darren Shan is the number one best seller of teenage horror but I would really like to point out that he is often refered to as a childrens auther but a lot of the material in this book begs to differ and is vey obviously not for the very young but ill go into that more later. The book itself is easily readable with large font and is set out in a very easy to follow way, written in first person it folllows the unfortunate events that surround a teenage boy ?Grubbs Grady?. The paper back version of the book has a glow in the dark cover which gives quite a cool...

Review of Lord Loss (The Demonata) - Darren Shan

Lord of my DVD Collection

Advantages: The movie, the DVD extras, the price
Disadvantages: None

...Ok, before anyone bombards me with unhelpful ratings, I know I have already done an opinion on this movie when it came out onto the cinemas but now that it has been released on DVD with a disk full of extras, I am doing another one to tell you all about them. This opinion is basically an update of my old one but now that it is out on a 2-disk DVD set, Ciao have given it a separate category, so it is legal. Anyway, I have had to correct loads of typo's from my old one and changed a few lines, so the work is there...LOL ~~~~~~MOVIE REVIEW~~~~~~ Lord of the Rings: the fellowship of the ring, extremely long title, matches an extremely long film all of 3 hours worth. The question being, is it really worth sitting there for nearly 3 whole hours while your backside slowly goes numb to see. The answer: Absolutely This movie...

Sam Lords Castle Barbados.

Advantages: Amazing weather,great views ,good nightlife.
Disadvantages: People can be a little laid back.

...Sam Lords Castle Barbados. I was married in Barbados on 25th Feb 2000 at Sam Lords Castle; this was my second attempt at marriage and also my husband to be. So we decided to go away somewhere warm and inviting and do the wedding bit just for us instead of the worry of inviting hundreds of guests and all the hassle that goes with it. When we set out on this task we were unsure as to where we wanted to go at first but decided on the Caribbean after looking at wedding packages this one seemed to provide all that we wanted with minimum effort on our part. So let's start at the beginning: We went along to our local travel agent and booked this amazing trip though KUONI. It cost us in the region of £4500.00 all inclusive in total for 9 days in Barbados included in this price were the following: • Transportation...
