Ruin this

Advantages: Read Opp
Disadvantages: Read Opp

...The ruins is a horror film that was released in 2008, directed by Carter Smith and starring Jonathan Tucker, Shawn Ashmore, Jena Malone, Laura Ramsey and Joe Anderson. The book was originally based on a Novel that was written by Scott Smith. I had the pleasure of watching this film, last week, and I was one of mixed feelings. At times this film was brilliant, a fresh new plot, which didn't have any ghosts, or villains, but at times it was hard to pick up the film, in the sense that there were moments were the film slowed down. A great horror film should be one that has a constant flow to it, one that constantly keeps you on the edge of your seat. Plot: So the film starts of in a dark cold place, the viewers see a woman, who is trapped in a dark dungeon type area, one that looks more like a well, or a cave. She tries to call for help...

Her ruin, your ruin everybodys' ruin.

Advantages: High number of good tracks
Disadvantages: Heavy on the feminism!!

...Speak and destroy, the frist album by American metal act My Ruin has been labelled in the music press as both the best - and the worst of recent times. To understand the album you need to first understand the band, or rather the singer. Tarrie B (formerly of Tura Satana) heads the line up, the band is her creation and the music reflects that. Tarrie is also an ardant feminist which again is relfected by her lyrics. [I strike terror among men, I can't be bothered by what they think...}; [I was put upon this earth in female form, but I can handle myself with the best of you - as well as the worst.] This is the theme that fills the album, on first listening each song apperears to be her battling against the rest of the world [This place is hell for me and I can never get no sleep] but as you go back, there is another side revealing...

Review of Speak And Destroy - My Ruin

This Film Was In Ruins Before It Was Released

Advantages: Small traces of tension
Disadvantages: It's a shambles

Review of The Ruins (DVD)

Ruined? Looks pretty damn good to me.

Advantages: History at your fingertips
Disadvantages: Transport isnt great/lack of amenity at site

...WHAT AND WHERE IS SALAMIS AND WHY WAS IT RUINED? The ancient city of Salamis was at one time (about 2000 years ago) the capital of Cyprus. As you may be aware Cyprus, sitting in the middle of the medeteranean, has been a stepping off post for most invasions in the area and has itself been occupied by the Romans, Assyrians, Egyptians and Persians to name but a few. In fact the ownership of Cyprus is still in dispute with the Turks still controlling this northern part. The ruins covers an area of approximately a square mile along the coast and is bordered on one side by sweet smelling pine and eucalyptus trees. The city was cast into ruins when in 76AD a severe earthquake struck the city. The different sized columns were put ou at different times first by Trajan and Hadrian when they built a gymnasium (which again was destroyed...

Review of Salamis Ruins

Lyingair ruined my holiday

Advantages: They get you there I suppose
Disadvantages: Dubious prices, rubbish crew and no customer serivce

.... Even the flight crews have the same talent as exhibited by a contestant for a long running, popular, voyeuristic Channel 4 TV show. Wait a minute I have brainwave! I can see it now 'Airheads', ten Lyingair trainee pilots trying to learn to fly a crate. The winner gets to fly a proper blue and sick coloured crate with over a hundred passengers. Every week you the public get to vote out who you want and they throw him out from a thousand feet with no parachute. Who do you think should get the boot now? Oh, its Michael O'Dreary chairman of Lyingair. Kick him out lads! If you think this is just sour grapes on my behalf, check out www.ryanair.org.uk. Lyingair ruined my holiday and they will do the same for you too. Take my advice, never ever fly with them. Thanks for reading, rating and commenting. Martin...

Review of Ryanair - RYR

Completely ruined my hair

Advantages: Smells nice, does lighten hair
Disadvantages: Runied my hair, made it dry, course and disgusting

...I have naturally blonde hair which has got darker with age, so I wanted something to lighten it a bit without harming my hair, so this solid shampoo from Lush sounded perfect. It cost £3.95 for a 100g piece from the Lush website, but I think in store you can get different size pieces. It's made with chamomile and marigold to make blonde hair lighter, and as with all Lush products it's made from natural ingredients. It comes in a kind of block which is quite solid, but at the same time quite soft. It's yellow and has bits of chamomile flowers in it, but exactly what it looks like and how many flowers are in it will vary from piece to piece. It smells nice, of chamomile as far as I can tell, though I don't really know what marigold smells like so I wouldn't know if you can smell that in the scent. With these solid shampoos you just...

Review of Lush Blonde Solid Shampoo Bar

Ruined my skin

Advantages: great for regulating periods
Disadvantages: made my skin bad

...I was on Cilest for 10mnths so I gave it a good go. At the beginning it seemed like the ideal pill for me as I have had terrible trouble finding one that suits me. To start with I only had a few leg cramps and sore breasts on the 10th and 11th pill of the packet. It regulated my periods and they were so light and pain free, before I used to roll around the floor in agony! I knew exactly when it would start to the hour! before that I could go 6mnths without seeing a thing. However around 4-5mnths into using this pill, I noticed it was having a terrible effect on my skin, the few spots I got each month became worse and were there all month long, also whatever I put on my skin even the most basic moisturiser would irritate and I would come up in thousands of tiny red spots all over my face, it hurt like hell and looked like I had...

Review of Cilest Contraceptive Pill

A Song To Ruin

Advantages: Original, breathtaking lyrics, passionate
Disadvantages: ....

...disbelief, and asking themselves how he does it. The opening line is by far the best: "On leaving school immersed in philanthropic notions (of a kind these days i find unthinkable) I pulled my frail frame onto my charger and rode off into a sunset with agenda predictable". It looks good in text, but when you realise how it fits into the song, it's just goddamn ridiculous. From the bouncing intro to the reflective breakdown towards the end of the piece, this is another tremendous song. The third song is "I Am The Party", arguably the most popular song on the album. Again, Turner shows his lyrical genius writing a political track that is as sparkling as it is accurate. Best line? "Let's kick it off with a leafleting campaign and follow it up with some public meetings, pressing flesh and kissing babies as I smile and promise things are getting...

Review of Song To Ruin, A - Million Dead

Totally Ruined My Hair

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Senior stylist no better than trainees, Overpriced, Dont Listen

...I had waist long hair and decided to have some of the length cut and have it shaped into a style instead of just being long and straight. I decided to go to Toni & Guy in Bolton instead of my usual hairdresser because I thought that they would be able to restyle my hair better than a normal salon. How wrong was I? I asked for a Senior stylist because I wanted someone who knew what they were talking about and they made me an appointment with their Style Director. I arrived at the salon and the Style Director asked how I wanted my hair styling. I asked her to shape my hair into a long bob. She told me that because of the thickness of my hair I would need layers putting in. I told her that if she was going to put layers in not to cut short layers. I said I wanted my hair to be below shoulder length because any shorter would be...
