Matteo= Weak link

Advantages: Hard to see any
Disadvantages: Weak link in an otherwise strong side

...If Liverpool do not sign a new left-back before the start of the new season then we will win nothing again. Gerard Houllier has sorted out our much criticised defence with the purchases of Sami Hyypia and Stephane Henchoz forming an awsome partnership. The recent bosman signing of Marcus Babbel will strengthen the righ hand side so we now only need to sort out the left. We have Matteo and Staunton for thaty position and they are simply not good enough. We need top strenghten there as quickly as possible.The rest of our side looks in good shape as our midfield and attack are just full of quality. Other teams are noticing our weakness as well as more than half of the goals that we conceded last season came from attacks down our left hand side. If this problem isnt addressed soo Gerard, we will be facing another trophyless season...

Review of Liverpool

Is the original any better?

Advantages: Drea De Matteo
Disadvantages: Everything else

...'t have needed the money this badly could he?) Drea De Matteo is stunning but only because of her amazing body, sadly her acting isn't great. It took me ages to finally work out that she plays Joey's sister in "Friends". I agree that the so called SWAT people attacking the station are pretty crap, as far as tactics go. We were even taught better basic skills than this in RAF basic training. I can't really comment on whether this is better than the original as I've never seen it but as far as this movie itself, it's not very good and silly continuity mistakes are just unbearable. Avoid this, even the snow doesn't want to fall on a bus full of prisoners! Very bad continuity indeed. Avoid like the plague! (this review also appears on Ciao)...

Review of Assault On Precinct 13 (DVD)

chelsea's greatest moment's as a football club

Advantages: Read Opp
Disadvantages: Read Opp

...the greetings only last five to ten seconds and I have no idea why they included this part as most of these players are relatively new. Further Information Depending on the outcome of the next few days of soccer, will likely result in a new chelsea dvd, highlighting a stressful though potentially successful season. This dvd gave a chelsea die hard fan a good look into some great action moments over the years. It was entertaining, combined with some amusing moments. From a fan's perspective it is interesting to see why some of the player's including mateja kezman, became transfer listed fast, and also why cudicini has been at the club for plenty of years. Also for me, arguably which goal for me stands out the most, would perhaps be di matteo's goal against middlesborough in the fa cup final in may nineteen ninety seven, scoring after...

Review of Chelsea FC - Golden Goals (DVD)

Unlucky 13

Advantages: Fast action
Disadvantages: cliched

...last day before retirement (cliche #1). Completing the staff is Iris (Drea de Matteo) the slutty secretary who is all too open about her sex life. Sadly their peaceful evening is ruined when a prisoner transport has to stop at their precinct due to the weather. It contains two guards and some small time criminals, however also there is Marion Bishop (Laurence Fishburn) who is a gangland killer. This leads to big trouble as apparently Marion had an arrangement with some cops in the department and he's ready to testify against them. The precinct is surrounded and cop and criminal are forced to band together to fight a common enemy. The film was entertaining enough for me and although there were alot of action movie cliches it didn't get boring. There were some nice touches which stopped it from getting boring or stale. Ethan Hawk...

Review of Assault On Precinct 13 (DVD)

Six star service from a 4 star hotel.

Advantages: Close to all the sites and sounds of Venice.
Disadvantages: It is a bit on the expensive side.

...welcome and checked us in with the minimum of fuss. He then showed us around the superb hotel onto the veranda to see the magnificent sight of the Grand Canal and the Rialto Bridge. We were escorted to our room and shown the facilities and how everything worked. After a short rest and freshening up we went to the veranda for a drink where we were met by the hotels owner Matteo. This guy is absolutely charming and extremely proud of his hotel. He told us a little of the history of the palace and also about his most unusual possession which was a coffee machine which took 9 months to make. This in itself is a piece of art. The coffee true to Mateo?s word tasted absolutely fantastic from his machine which looks like something out of chitty chitty bang bang, very scientific and definitely unique. The bar come dining area is beautifully laid...

Review of Al Ponte Antico Hotel, Venice

Small, but perfectly formed hotel in Vienna

Advantages: Classy, comfortable, fantastic breakfast
Disadvantages: Not overly expensive, but the rates match how nice it is

..., the receptionist came out from behind the desk and gave us a tour of the hotel and then took us up to our room. It was a genuinely warm welcome and we felt very much at home. The Room I have to say, this was pretty special. According to the reviews I've read of the hotel all the standard rooms are well furnished with arty touches, but as it was a special occasion, we selected (for a small premium) one of their recently renovated rooms, design by Matteo Thun. The design is inspired by that period of Vienna, around the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, where art and music flourished. The culture of cafés and concert halls that pushed the boundaries in art (think Klimt and then Schiele) are the inspiration. The room had a high ceiling, silver/black flock wall paper, an elaborate chandelier, silver curtains, red velvet bedstead...

Review of Altstadt Vienna, Vienna

Need to be more consistent

Advantages: good team
Disadvantages: inconsistency

...season but the must have a better second half of the season that their first in order to qualify for Europe. With the arrival of Robbie Keane I can’t see Alan Smith getting into the side, and I feel sorry for Ian Harte who might leave because he’s out of the side because of Domnic Matteo. They are two players I really like....

Review of Farce Of The Penguins (DVD)

Could be facing a relegation battle

Advantages: Excellent Players, Great Manager,
Disadvantages: Under-Achieving Badly

.... Along with this already talented squad they have bought Rio Ferdinand (I think was slightly over-priced at £18 million), Dominic Matteo, Robbie Keane, Mark Viduka, yet they seem to be under-achieving BADLY. Although I`m not really fussy on O'Leary as a man, I think its a shame such a talented squad seem to be struggling this season, and as a matter of fact, if things dont improve rapidly, they could be facing the unbelievable prospect of a relegation battle, as they are hoveringly very near the bottom six teams. That said I dont expect to see them involved in a relegation battle, as surely they have too much talent (but havn't we heard that said before)....

Review of Leeds United

Harvesting what exactly

Advantages: kept me occupied
Disadvantages: none really

...Well then my fellow ciaoers I'm afraid its time for me to launch another book review upon you. This time its the debut novel by a writer now very well regarded and reguarly tops the best seller lists. I will warn you now that the book is not 'literature' in fact that genre rarely gets as far as me picking it up, so if you are after a thriller based around a medical community this could be worth a look. Harvest's main character is a second year surgical intern Dr Abby DiMatteo, working at Boston Bayside hospital. She has to make a decision about the final recipient of a heart transplant does she allow the hospitals administration to make the decision or does she do what she can to get the heart donated to a 17 year old boy who is already at the hospital? Of course she does what she can to arrange that the 17 year old should get...
