Hollywood Homicide is a drag

Advantages: Some comedic moments
Disadvantages: Just drags

...I'm not averse to watching a couple of films with negative reviews every now and then, and this is what I experienced with Hollywood Homicide. The film stars Harrison Ford and Josh Hartnett as two cops who moonlight as other things and pits them against some bad guys in investigating a multiple homicide. It hasn't received great reviews, and I could see why. The director, Ron Shelton, hasn't really grabbed the bull by the horns with this one. The actors appear uncomfortable and the plot is just too weak. The plot is one that has been used before. Two cops pitted together against their will, the veteran Joe Gavilan (Ford) and the rookie K C Calden (Hartnett), to investigate the murders of four men in a club shooting. They uncover corruption as they worm their way towards a bigger plot that they find themselves caught up in. And...

You're in Hollywood!

Advantages: Questions, range of extras, game length
Disadvantages: Buzz can get annoying!

...My family and I absolutely love Buzz!! Since the first releases we've collected the games and whenever we have someone over or a party the buzzers come out and the gaming starts. The game says 12+, and I would agree. Some rounds are tougher than others and you need to have a basic knowledge of some Hollywood films. The Game You have 4 buzzers that act like controllers, and these four link up to a USB port on the PS2 (so really, you can have up to eight players if you link up another set of 4 buzzers). There are four coloured buttons and a buzzer, all of which are necessary for the game as they have different roles. On the menu you can select: * Length of game (short/medium/long) * Single or multiplayer * Type of game (Standard, party game etc.) You then move on to choose the numer of players by pressing the red...

Sign Up in Hollywood!

Advantages: You get to see the sign up close without obstructions
Disadvantages: None that I can think of

...Hollywood Sign Tour When I was in Hollywood I searched everywhere to get a tour which took me up close to the Hollywood sign and we came across Hollywood Fantasy Tours. **Hollywood Fantasy Tours Company** This tour company is on the Hollywood Blvd beside the historical Pantages Theatre (which is also worth while checking out). The actual office of this tour company is small and tacky with memorabilia everywhere. Even so the staff are quirky and very friendly. It was the only tour company which we could find that took you up into the hills so you could get up close to see the sign, something I found worthwhile as you really be disappointed seeing it from Hollywood Blvd. The directions for the office are to take the freeway to Hollywood Blvd then go west for ¼ mile. Look for the Pantages Theatre on the right just before Vine...

The Simpsons Go To Hollywood Review

Advantages: Amazing writing, full of memorable moments
Disadvantages: None

...The Simpsons - Classics - Go to Hollywood is a collection of four episodes including some new, and some classic ones. The episodes included are "When You Dish Upon a Star", "Fear of Flying", "Krusty Gets Kancelled" and "Flaming Moes". "When You Dish Upon a Star" has Homer, through some bizarre accident, becoming the personal assistant to Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger, who are staying in a secluded home in Springfield. After he becomes fired for telling his friends about who he's working for, he launches "the museum of Hollywood jerks" with various undergarments etc. With all celebrities in The Simpsons, they are never afraid of poking fun at each other, and both have some good lines together. Ron Howard makes another appearance and is again hilarious, especially when he steals Homer's film idea and the "Happy Days" theme plays...

Want a bit of Hollywood on a Budget??

Advantages: Great cheap friendly helpful
Disadvantages: can be noisy in the evening

...Hello my friends on Ciao! Hope you are all well and good; I have been away for a while as many of you know traveling the globe! I have so many reviews to write from my trip and have decided to start in order of the places I have visited! First stop LA baby! USA Hostel Hollywood was the first hostel I stayed in on my trip and with nothing else to compare it too I have to say I was very impressed, on arrival the staff were very efficient and helpful in booking us in quickly and showing us to our room, we also got a tour of the hostel and were shown all of the facilities straight away. Situated just off the Hollywood Boulevard this hostel is very convenient to find and is close to all major attractions, the Chinese Theatre is about 5 mins walk away and Universal Studios is only 2 train stops away. Address: 1624 Schrader...

Bollywood/Hollywood - Fairly Average Stuff!

Advantages: Entertaining enough way to kill just over 100 minutes
Disadvantages: You won't want to watch it more than once

Lush Hollywood Bar - I'm a star in the making!!!

Advantages: I think i've said it all!
Disadvantages: It is a bit pricey

...Now Lush create some wonderful products and I will try most things at least once, even ballistics (which i'm not a big fan) and Lush tend to create 'limited edition' products for various times of the year namely Christmas and Valentines Day seem to be big hits. Certain products are brought out year after year at the same times and may differ in some small way or you see new products every year. Lush originally created Hollywood as a Christmas bubble bar. It started it's life in 2003 for Christmas and was brought back out in 2004, topped with a pair of siren red lips it was visually stunning! In 2005, however, Lush opted to pay tribute to both Hollywood's Walk of Fame and all those golden star-posted "do not enter unless you're as fabulous as I am" dressing room doors which notoriously house some of the feistiest divas ever known to man...

Review of Lush Hollywood Bubble Bar

CHURCHILL: HOLLYWOOD YEARS - MISSED OPPORTUNITY

Advantages: Many Cameo's, Britishness.
Disadvantages: Always waiting for the real action to start.

...being set, however after another 10mins then 30mins it was clear that the quality of the movie wasn't going to increase. In the hope of a good finish I stayed until the end, but that only confirmed the mediocrity of the film. Time after time punch lines were missing or edited/delivered badly. Potentially comedic moments just didn't project onto the audience. --- SYNOPSIS --- This movie tries to make fun of Hollywood films of British history which ultimately get re-written by Hollywood (see quote at bottom). The premise is that some Hollywood film makers decide to come over to Britain and make a film about Winston Churchill. However in their mind, Churchill shouldn't be played by an old large Brit, but a young American; Christian Slater (enough to put some people off already I know). The film then recounts in a most bizarre way how...

Hollywood Hoobliewhattie?????

Advantages: Fans of Two Stars Will No Doubt Want to Check it Out
Disadvantages: Illogical, confusing plot and a bad script hurt it

...This is one of those rare films that seemed to have a lot going for it, and that many people who first heard about it thought it would be the a great summer popcorn flick. Plus, the idea of combining actors Harrison Ford and Josh Harnett in the same movie, made one person say, "Is this going to be the film where mothers will go with their daughters to see???" LOL, at any rate, I picked this up on DVD to see what it was like, despite all the negative criticism that had been thrown at it...not to mention that it was a complete box-office failure. Ford plays Joe Gavilan, a veteren Hollywood detective who is also juggling a second job in real estate. Hartnett is K.C. Caldin, a rookie Hollywood detective who is also juggling a second job as a yoga instructor; however, he is also thinking of ending his cop career in favor...

Review of Hollywood Homicide (DVD)

History... Hollywood Style!

Advantages: A good idea, with a great deal of potential. Harry Enfield and Slater are quite good, lots of comic cameo's
Disadvantages: Neve Campbell's British Accent, A good idea that greatly disappoints, Could have been a lot better, becomes movies by numbers

...I?d seen adverts for Churchill: The Hollywood Years a few times at the cinema last year, but I can?t actually recall the film being on. So having been tempted by the adverts and with a number of the roles played by English comedy greats such as Vic and Bob, it seemed a sure bet. I decided to buy the DVD on the off chance as it had looked such a great film in the cinema. When I looked at the extra?s I found the source of my first disappointment, there weren?t any. I was at least expecting some outtakes or even the theatrical trailer, but no there wasn?t anything. The film itself had a lot of potential. Its shot through the eyes of Hollywood who decide the man we all knew as Winston Churchill isn?t suitable for their movie. So they make him a stooge used by the British government to ease the British public?s fears. The new Winston...
