Please Make This *The* Final Destination

Advantages: Good premise
Disadvantages: Lack of elaborate deaths, no imaginative plot like others, doesn't live up to the hype

...While at the races, Nick (Bobby Campo) has a shocking premonition about a horrific crash that will happen and in turn will lead to all the other drivers crashing and killing numerous innocent people in the audience. This leads Nick to a state of panic and in this state he mistakenly hits another member of the audience, a scrap entails and security escorts Nick, his girlfriend, two friends and a group of other audience members out of the area. Nick tells them about the impending crash which happens seconds later. Unnerved by the events, Nick wants to forget about what happened and get on with his life however when the survivors begin to die one by one, suspicion is aroused that maybe the subsequent events aren?t just shocking coincidences and are something a bit more sinister? Being a big fan of the Final Destination trilogy I had...

Review of The Final Destination

The Crown Of Switzerland

Advantages: Londoners perspective: beautiful, clean, orderly and different
Disadvantages: Londoners perspective: Expensive (yes even for me!)and a little small and quiet

...I have been to Geneva three times now because I have a friend who lives there. Otherwise I?m not sure it would have crossed my mind to visit. It?s certainly not one of those places on everyone?s must see list. Geneva is in Switzerland but is actually surrounded by France. It is a very unique city - a mix of European and British / American influences with people of all different nationalities settled there. And although the primary language is French most speak at least Basic English. Transport Getting to Geneva could not be simpler. Most budget airlines fly there, for example Easyjet have around three flights a day from London Gatwick. The flight only takes an hour and a half and as long as you don?t travel during the peak skiing season prices are really cheap (for example £10!). The airport is not far from the city centre...

Review of Geneva (Switzerland)

Destination Death

Advantages: A gorefest, little details that bring the film together
Disadvantages: No story line to get my teeth into, some of the acting was a bit wooden

...although he doesn't know why. When everyone boards the plane Alex has a vision of the plane starting to break up in mid air and then exploding. He panics so much that he has to leave the plane along with five other students and a teacher, with those left behind thinking Alex is a total nutcase who's ruined their holiday. The plane takes off and then **bang**, it hasn't been in the air for two minutes and suddenly there's a fireball where the plane should have been. Obviously this freaks Alex out and when the FBI arrive on the scene they interview him as a possible suspect, although how they could possibly imagine a nerdy looking 17 year old to have the brains and imagination to create such a catastrophe is a bit weird. But then things get worse. The seven people who left the plane start dying off one by one and although he doesn't have any...

Review of Final Destination (DVD)

Deadly Destination

Advantages: A taut thriller with loads of scares
Disadvantages: The cast are nothing more than adequate

...Taking the horror genre to a whole new premise, Final Destination introduces the villain as Death itself. Devon Sawa stars as Alex, a high school student who is preparing to go to Paris on a field trip with his class. From the opening credits, all the signs point towards something sinister. And as Alex gets on the plane, he finds himself thrust into a mid air explosion. Moments later though, he wakes up and discovers that it was nothing more than a dream. However, convinced it was more like a premonition, he and a handful of students get into a brawl and are thrown off the plane. As they are rounded up in the departure lounge, they watch in horror as his premonition is realised and the plane explodes moments after taking off. The police are instantly convinced that Alex must be part of some conspiracy to blow the plane up, and as...

Enchanting Switzerland

Advantages: A haven of scenic beauty
Disadvantages: nothing worth mentioning though language can be problem for english speaking tourists.

...go to your destination.You can easily plan your journey with the help of these small leaflets. Geneva is no tourist paradise: Tourists expect a lot here in the international capital of Switzerland,but Geneva doesn't match to those expectations.Our last day was reserved for Geneva. We reached there around 4 p.m. Geneva is the costliest city in Switzerland. We got on a ride on city train, similar to the one at Lucerne but were fooled. The train only circled round and round in the botanical garden, never allowing us any glimpse of the city. There are private bus tours which will take you to the offices of a horde of international organizations.but Other than the Saturday flea market in Plain de Plainpalais where you can hunt for that rare music record there is nothing to do in this small city. The United Nations building that neighbors...

Review of General: Switzerland

Destinations

Advantages: A quick read
Disadvantages: Confusing as there were too many characters

...Sheila O'Flanagan is a successful Irish writer, and before writing she had a very successful career in banking. She writes a column for the Irish Times and, prior to writing 'Destinations', she had also written 8 hugely successful novels, including 'Caroline's Sister', 'Isobel's Wedding', and 'He's Got to Go'. Destinations is a novel which revolves around the Dart train system in Ireland. There are 19 chapters in the book, each one has a title with a train station alongside it, such as 'Saturday at 12' - Killiney, or 'Charlie's Dress' - Dalkey. Each chapter revolves around a different character, or characters, such as Greg and Helena - they are the characters of the 'Saturday at Twelve' chapter. Greg has had a fling at his office Christmas party which, inevitably, Helena has found out about and has since thrown Greg out. THey...

Review of Destinations - Sheila O'Flanagan

Take a step off the tourist trail in Switzerland

Advantages: Beautiful medieval city, relatively cheap, lots to do, excellent transport links
Disadvantages: none

...and plain chocolates. It is open every weekday. ***Eating Out*** Switzerland is a nation of smokers and people smoke everywhere, but especially in bars and restaurants. There is only one completely smoke free restaurant in Fribourg and it is part of a shopping centre outside of town. You can pick up the number 2 bus from the station and get off at the Belle-Croix stop and enter the shopping centre opposite. Manora is open everyday until late and is an acceptable self service restaurant, vastly superior in quality to its UK counterparts. As I have a young daughter this is the only place we tend to eat out, because the levels of smoke can be quite intolerable in other places The town itself is full of little cafes with seating outside, all of which serve food and drinks which are cheap and edible. The Café Rendevous at the bottom...

Review of Fribourg, Switzerland

Supreme Switzerland!

Advantages: stunning
Disadvantages: pricey

...Switzerland is the ultimate holiday destination in Europe for those who want to see stunning scenery, wildlife and experience a unique culture. Switzerland is a great place for visitors for many reasons. For me, the ultra-efficient transport system allows accessibility to anywhere in the country. Transfers to resort are by train rather than coach as the system is so reliable and efficient. Zurich and Geneva both have train stations in there airports and English speaking assistance is always available. I've visited Switzerland on three separate occassions - Lake Maggiore/Zermatt, Interlaken and Saas Fee. I've also visited a number of places in each region, made accessible by the trains. I'll try and give some tips about each area and the best places to go... MAGGIORE On this holiday, we were staying in Italy but went into...

Review of General: Switzerland

Destination Moon.

Advantages: A quite good old movie
Disadvantages: not dated well

...Destination Moon. Getting to the moon before the Russians and building a base is the general plot line but the film delivers so much more. Charles Cargraves is a rocket engineer who believes his last rocket was sabotaged so he goes private and soon he has built his second rocket which he gets to the moon. Along the way the saboteurs will try again, he will fight the red tape but will win through. The movie won an Oscar in 1951 for its special effects but somehow that seems to have been forgotten. The science in the movie is actually very accurate apart from the nuclear propulsion, but otherwise it is quite a factual film. We are facts such as the problems of G force, Airlocks, weightlessness nd the Moons gravity being 1/6th that of Earth. The acting is good and it is shot in glorious Technicolor. Classed as...

Review of Destination Moon (DVD)

Destination AWESOME!

Advantages: As good as being there
Disadvantages: No fireworks.

...I was at the 1st night of these concerts so I can give a pretty good opinion of how this varies to the performance given on the night I attended. Essentially what your hearing on this cd is the music that was recorded on the night Mike Mansfield shot his Destination Docklands Video. Track 1 is a short intro version of Revolutions which I don't remember being played on the night itself at all. Track 2 is Industrial Revolutions Overture which was recorded on the 2nd of the 2 nights (I can tell because theres no 2nd set of cheering near the start when they screwed up getting one of the projections back to front then upside down) Track 3 is Industrial Revolutions parts 1-3 and these sound very good, the crowd cheering is mainly reactions to projections & some fireworks, you are hearing the console master version of the music so you won...
