The Blue Mountains

Advantages: everything
Disadvantages: nothing

...This next review is on my time on The Blue Mountains National Park, located in Sydney Australia. A few friends and I had decided to hire a van and take a tour of the national park, as we had been recommended it by several people we had met along the way. I am usually a fan of national parks; it gives you a chance to take in the scenic view, it gives you a chance to relax and unwind if you have had a busy week, and you even get to see some wildlife. It?s a great experience, which allows you to camp overnight, whilst also have a magnificent driving experience. History & Park Info: The park covers 267,954 hectares, which included several mountains and rivers along the trek. The highest point of the park is Mount Werong (1,215 m), and there are some breathtaking views from the top. The area became a national park in 1932, and ever since...

The Mummy

Advantages: read opp
Disadvantages: read opp

...In 1999, Stephen Sommers wrote and directed the smash hit "The Mummy", starring Brendon Frazer, Rachel Weisz and Arnold Vosloo as the Mummy. I was a big fan of the first Mummy film, and thought the 2nd one simply lost the plot. The first film had everything one would want from a film of this type, humour, action, special effects, romance and a little terror. The film was a huge box office hit grossing well over $415 million, and lead to a sequel and a third film penned to be released some time next year. I am usually always a huge fan of these films, they have a lot of history plot, treasure and some gorgeous looking women, what more can you ask for. The Plot: The film starts of with a flashback into the Ancient Egyptian world. The year is 1290 BC; the high priest of Egypt Imhotep is having a secret affair with the Pharaohs...

Review of The Mummy (DVD)

Was The Mummy too sexy for its tomb?

Advantages: Fun, exciting, funny, romantic, generally a good film
Disadvantages: See review

...The Mummy for me became a hit from the time it was showing in cinemas, which is also where I first saw it. I've seen it since, couple of times on television. Truth is, in the last few months or so, I saw the latest movie to be released, which is the third of the series that the Mummy has become. I started recently to write a review on that movie, then realised I should probably review the first two, first. I can never remember enough of films I saw years back to review them from memory. So when The Mummy came on television, I took the chance to review it. Story Evelyn Carnahan (Rachel Weisz) is a clumsy librarian. When her brother, Jonathon opens up an ancient Egyptian tomb from the library and discovers an unusual, star shaped item inside it, the two of them decide to investigate. They are introduced to Rick O...

Review of The Mummy (DVD)

Silly Mummy!

Advantages: Good CGI, lots of action scene!
Disadvantages: Too many to mention!

...to resurect his army to wreak havoc on the country. Alex, along with his father Rick O'Connell (Brendan Fraser) and mother Evelyn O'Connell (Mario Bella), and with the help of sorceress Zi Juan's daughter, Lin (Isabella Leong), must stop the evil Emperor Han from finding the source of eternal life, a dangerous journey that takes them from the bustling streets of Shanghai to the rigid Himalayan mountain range. I was a very big fan of the first two Mummy movies, this movie however lets the series down I feel. I felt that in this movie, the whole cheesy one liners thing had been taken to a new level. They existed to a large degree in the first two movies, but it was simply over the top in this film. I felt that the first two movies were fun, action-packed movies, with a lot of humour, however this fiulm in my opinion, contained stupid...

Her Mummy Knew But Did Nothing

Advantages: excellent read
Disadvantages: extermely vivid and upsetting

...the local charity shop was a book called Mummy Knew by Author Lisa James. I bought this book as the blurb on the back of it appealed to me and it was a true story and I prefer reading these kinds of books. The author of the book Lisa James is an author whom I?ve never heard of before which is not surprising as this is her first book and it had only been released in September 2009 and I bought it from the Cancer Research Shop in Mid-October. The copy of Mummy Knew ? Lisa James which I bought was a Paper Back Edition which was in excellent condition considering it was second hand from the Charity Shop. The front cover is mainly white in colour and features a small fair haired girl around the age of six or seven. As with all books the authors name and title of the book are boldly printed on the front cover ? where as the back cover contains...

Review of Mummy Knew - Lisa James

A tale of a light mummy and a dark mummy

Advantages: A well written book, will make you cry and hug your kids
Disadvantages: Emotional and disturbing

... TELL ME WHY MUMMY DAVID THOMAS This was one of my penny buys from Amazon that I added to another order so I didn't need to pay postage!! What a pennyworth I got!!! The book, written by David Thomas from Halifax in Yorkshire, is based on his harrowing true story and how he was sexually and mentally abused by his mother and physically abused by his stepfather. The author says that this this is a book about forgiveness but it is also a story of survival. THE STORY The story starts with David at the tender age of 4 and the book records his struggle to survive well into his late 20's and 30s. Little David had two Mummies. He had a Light Mummy and a Dark Mummy. As a little boy David didn't have much, what he did have tended to be hand me down. His Daddy didn't have any time for him, but...

Review of Tell Me Why Mummy - David Thomas

Mountain Language

Advantages: Clear and important political message
Disadvantages: Direct, dim, and disturbing

...Mountain Language (1988) By Harold Pinter (1930- ) Mountain Language is a very short one-act play by the English playwright Harold Pinter. The first scene shows a young woman and an elderly woman as they go to visit one of their relatives who was accused of speaking the forbidden mountain language. The older woman was bitten by one of the dogs in the prison, and yet the officer and sergeant torture her and her companion with stupid questions and harass the latter sexually. We see in the second scene that the elderly woman was in the prison to visit her son. The woman tries to talk to her son with the mountain language she is used to, for she doesn't know the capital language, yet the officer starts jabbing her with a stick. Still, she manages to tell her son that his wife and three kids are waiting for him. In the third scene...

High up a mountain

Advantages: Great vocals. tracks
Disadvantages: One more ballad?

...**Introduction** This is the third instalment of my Yolanda Adams reviews after reviewing "Believe" and "Day By Day" which were two of the three Yolanda Adams albums I requested for review a couple of weeks ago. Mountain High Valley Low is the third and final instalment for now and was the the first of the three released in 2000 compared to 2001 for Believe and 2005 for Day by Day, So with the release of her latest album this year I decided to complete the three requested album reviews now. **Mountain High...Valley Low** This is Yolanda Adam's major record label debut courtesy of the Elektra label. With a major label comes major names and that's the same here with two major names from the world of Music. Joining her on the album is the phenomenally successful production duo of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis As well as Keith Thomas. This...

Scream for your Mummy

Advantages: gets kids reading, enjoyable
Disadvantages: the website's aimed at kids, but it's good for 'older' readers too ;-)

...Heart of the Mummy is the third book in the Scream Street series of books for children, aged around 8-11. The series is written by Tommy Donbavand. There are 7 books in the series, all published by Walker: -Fang of the Vampire (2008) -Blood of the Witch (2008) -Heart of the Mummy (2008) -Flesh of the Zombie (2008) -Skull of the Skeleton (2009) -Claw of the Werewolf (2009) -Invasion of the Normals (2009) The children at school love the website (www.screamstreet.co.uk). It has short stories, news updates and so on. It's aimed at children and is very well managed, a nice safe site which is a relief for some parents. ** Why did I read the book?** I wouldn't usually read books for children of this age group, but Tommy Donbavand came to the school I work in to do an afternoon's presentation, and then the following day I accompanied some...

THE MOUNTAIN DRINK.

Advantages: NICE CITRUS FLAVOUR.
Disadvantages: TASTELESS WHEN HOT AND EXCESS SUGAR AND CAFFEINE.

...When I heard about the mountain dew drink, I was anxious to know the company responsible for the drink because it was a new drink. Later to realize that it is manufactured under the license of the Pepsi & 7up company. Normally my interest for fizzy drinks are now moving off but I still give them a little bit attention by drinking them occasionally but this mountain dew drink is a drink you will like to drink as an adult because as a caffeine content most people like me will like to getting the caffeine taste. Came in existence in the 1940"s in Tennessee the mountain dew I think came into competition with other fizzy drinks of recent. Actually, this mountain dew drink is banned in many countries do to the excess caffeine present in it and no wonder I cant actually drop this drink...
