The Expérience Cinématique that is Le Grand Rex

Advantages: Good atmosphere, la Grande Salle,
Disadvantages: Expensive, small screens

...Going to the cinema during your visit to Paris might not top of your list of things to do, but Le Grand Rex is certainly not your everyday cinema. Histoire Le Grand Rex was opened in 1932 and is the oldest cinema in Paris. It has a long and interesting history, from its opening night on the 8th of December 1932, attended by a ritzy, glitzy list of 3,300 VIPs, to its occupation by the German soliders, who used it as a place to watch propaganda films. The building is decorated in a typical art deco style, whilst the inside, particularly the 'Grande Salle' - the biggest room, which also boasts the biggest screen in Europe - is a mixture of art deco and baroque style. Le Grand Rex is also home to a night club - Rex Club - which is attached to the building and is right next door. However, in the many times I've visited, this has...

Review of Le Grand Rex

An action figure that has the "REX FACTOR" !

Advantages: A great action figure with lots of character. Well made, fun to play with and collectable.
Disadvantages: Costly ... you don't get much change from a tenner these days when buying an action figure !!!

...Troopers) and Captain Rex is yet another impressive addition to this collection. ~~~ CAPTAIN REX ACTION FIGURE (CLONE WARS) ~~~ Clone Trooper CC-7567 was one of the many elite soldiers cloned from Bounty Hunter Jango Fett as part of the Grand Army Of The Republic.

T Rex, music of the seventies and beyond

Advantages: Changed the sound of music in the seventies
Disadvantages: Died young so where would the music have gone if he lived?

...while unfit she never returned to England to face the charge. This means that a young man who had a lot to live for and a lot of music to make died and no one paid for his death. Shortly after he died fans of Marc Bolan broke into his home and stole most of his possessions. How sad for his family and friends to have this done. My first memory of T Rex then called Tyrannosaurus Rex was early in the 1970?s when a friend and I used to regularly go dancing. There we were, sweet sixteen, although I wouldn?t say never been kissed, in our hot pants, our high heels, catching the bus to the nearest town to dance the night away. There were many songs but one of my favourite, which was played over and over, was Ride a White Swan, something completely different, with undertones of love and lust. Teenagers all over, wearing satin and sequins to...

Review of T-Rex - T-Rex

T. Rex's Best Album

Advantages: a great overall album, some great songs
Disadvantages: Some repetitive songs

...1. Mambo Sun: This song is quite typical T-Rex, with its pulsing rhythm and lilting guitars; it very much encapsulates the early 70?s glam rock era, so perhaps would only appeal to people who are interested in this era. The lyrics are typically rather cryptic and very abstract. This song is not particularly stunning, and definitely not one of the better tracks on the album. 2. Cosmic Dancer: Quite a slow, relaxed song with acoustic guitars and violin accompaniment. Marc Bolan?s voice is great on this song and is a very good example of his very distinctive singing style. I should imagine that this song has a wider appeal as it seems to me to be less dated now than many of the other songs on this album, and it was used in the film ?Billy Elliot?. I like this song a lot; it has quite a languid feel to it ? great for chilling out to. I...

Review of Electric Warrior - T. Rex

The Arnol Black House

Advantages: Fantastic insight into how the islanders lived
Disadvantages: Small admission fee, remote location

...Arnol is a small village on the remote northern coast of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides. Today the village comprises of a number small crofts scattered across a large area but if you look closer you will see the remains of many Black Houses interspersed between the more modern houses. Black Houses are as far as I know unique to the North West Highlands of Scotland and represent a way of life for the people that have lived here, virtually in isolation from the mainland for thousands of years. The last of the Arnol Black Houses was abandoned in 1974 but thankfully the Black House at No. 42 within the village has been preserved and turned into a museum for future generations to see how these people lived. It is a common assumption that the Black Houses derived their name because they had no chimney and very tiny windows so the interior...

Review of Black (PS2)

Black Hawk Down

Advantages: Excellent Film
Disadvantages: Not many

...Recently there was an article which really sparked my emotions, both sadness and anger, surprisingly it was in The Sun (the most professional and reliable of the daily papers) the article was on the sate of Somalia and the history of the wars going on in the country. Quoted in the article was a film called Black Hawk Down, which I had heard of but never, had the opportunity to watch and had no clue about, later on when in discussion on the article, somebody brought the film up and highly recommended it. Buying the Film I bought the film in Blockbuster when I was returning a rental; it cost £4 which I thought was highly reasonable for a DVD, especially one which was recommended and according to the front of the DVD won two Oscars, and looked to carry an exciting cast set. Director The film is directed by a man called Ridley...

Review of Black Hawk Down (DVD)

ALWAYS BET ON BLACK.......

Advantages: Smells gorgeous, fragrance lasts for hours, cool packaging and unique bottle
Disadvantages: Price, size of bottle

...It would appear that the subtle hints dropped throughout 2003 by Badger Boy were not in vain as on Christmas Day he opened three, yes three presents to be presented with each fragrance in the Bvlgari range. Bvlgari fragrances first came to my attention a number of years back when an ex girlfriend wore the Pour Femme version of their best selling fragrance. The smell to this day still haunts me, but still gets my nostrils tingling when I walk past someone wearing it. Happily, she couldn?t stand the smell of Bvlgari Black and I instantly fell in love with it after winning a bottle in a prize draw a few years later. Bvlgari are a well known fashion and design house famous for their jewellery and watches more than their actual fragrances, however, the chances of me actually owning the latter are slim to zero due to the extortionate...

Review of Bvlgari Black

A Classic Black

Advantages: Better than the Red Label
Disadvantages: Lack in smoothness

...Well, i certainly do not want to talk about the history of Johnnie Walker, as you may find that i might be exaggerating on it. It's the best to visit www.johnniewalker.com if you want to know the history. Moreover, i might be just plagiarising the whole history from the website. It's best not for me to touch on it and i prefer going straight to the whisky itself. The first Johnnie Walker Black Label that I have was the one which my dad gave to me a few years back. It was an old black label bottle. It is not in production anymore and to get his old classic look would be difficult. I never opened it, until today, and I still keep this masterpiece locked in my cupboard. Anyway, my actions certainly do not prevent myself from tasting it. Although I did not want to open it, I eventually bought myself the new look of black label from...

Review of Johnnie Walker Black Label

BLACK GOLD

Advantages: It's coffee
Disadvantages: Nothing special

...Black Gold? No, this isn't a hard-hitting social commentary on the shameful history of the slave trade. Nor is it a whining moan about the revenue from the thick viscous stuff that flows from the North Sea down to London and vanishes quicker than WMD's in the Middle East. No, rather less contentious...possibly, the subject matter of this review is a coffee called Black Gold from those wonderfully altruistic people at Nescafe. Now I'm not going to get into an ethical debate about the merits (or lack of) concerning Nescafe's business practices. If you want to know more about that sort of thing, go and google! Me? I like coffee. But I'm not a coffee snob - it's not as if it's beer, right? Anyway, as long as it's a decent coffee, I don't give a roasted bean who makes it, or where, or when, or how. Or even why. As long as it...
