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

Hunting for the plot of Hunted

Advantages: good ending
Disadvantages: Only read it if you've read the others

...Hunted is the fifth book in mother and daughter team P.C. and Kristin Cast's House of night saga. I bought my copy for £3.49 new from Amazon, but the jacket price is £6.99, as with most books now, if you shop around you are pretty much guaranteed to get a deal on it, and I know that it's much cheaper used. At present the first five books are available in paperback, the sixth (Tempted) was released in hardcover on October 27th 2009, and should be available in paperback 7-10-2010. A seventh book, Burned, has been announced with an expected release date of May 2010. **History and background** This is another saga of teenage/young adult vampire fiction, a genre which regularly comes back into vogue. Cast seems to have piggybacked on the huge success of the Harry Potter series, and I suppose possibly on the Stephanie Meyer Twilight saga...

Review of Hunted - Kristin Cast

Hunting for a bargain?

Advantages: An entertaining show
Disadvantages: None

...A cup of tea, a sandwich and a lunchtime sit down to watch an episode of Bargain Hunt. Although the programme centres around the contestants making a profit from their bargain hunting the emphasis is all on the two teams pitting their wits against one another. The programme starts with Tim Wonnacott introducing two eager teams, each team is made up of just two members and one team is given red sweatshirts and the other team blue sweatshirts. Each team is then assigned an expert in the world of antiques who will endeavor to help them find something in a local Antique Fair that they will purchase themselves and take to auction in the hope of making a profit. There are a few experts who regularly appear on Bargain Hunt, Phillip Serrell, who is often seen wearing a Rupert bear scarf ! David Barby, Kate Bliss and James Braxton to name...

Review of Discovery - Rex Hunt Fishing Adventures

The Name Was Hunt, James Hunt

Advantages: A fascinating and intelligent account of the life of a sporting great
Disadvantages: The subject nature will perhaps put off those unfamiliar with Formula 1

...noughties. The 70s were politically turbulent, gaudy, vulgar and very difficult, but they were also energetic, abrasive and exciting years, years when things could get done without the need to jump through an assault course of hoops and people could tell others what they really thought of them (within reason) without inviting an immediate thumping by the passive-aggressive heavies of political correctness. Formula 1 in the 70s was as much a reflection of its time as it is now: it was loud, grubby, slightly chaotic, brash and very very dangerous. It also necessarily produced driving stars that were cut from a somewhat rougher cloth than that from which derives many of our sweet-young-things of the present. James Hunt, for those who still have youth on their side, was one of Britain's most famous and talked-about sports stars of the 1970s. He...

Review of James Hunt - Gerald Donaldson

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 !!!

The Hunted

Advantages: Tommy Lee Jones
Disadvantages: Weak Plot

...I like Tommy Lee Jones, I always find his wholehearted grizzled performances quite refreshing amongst all the shiny Hollywood glamour we're sometimes served up without end, that said I don't think even his most ardent fans could call "Hunted" anything but more than average. Jones plays L.T. Bonham a military forces contractor who trains Special Forces in areas of survival training, tracking and hunting. One of his students, Aaron Hallam, who apart from having excelled at everything Bonham has taught him, has now gone slightly off the rails having been subjected to horrific events whilst serving his country in the Balkans conflict. Hallam has taken to hunting down game hunters in the wild American forests and dispatching his victims with some very nifty knife work. The FBI agents tracking Hallam down decide to recruit Bonham and put...

Review of The Hunted (DVD)

Hunted down...but not quite as enjoyable!

Advantages: The next book in the series.
Disadvantages: Not as strong storywise as the previous books.

...This is the fifth book out of a series of six books surrounding the so-called ?House of night? books, unfortunately for me the sixth book in the series is not due to be released for at least a month so I will have to consol myself with the new series of vampire books that my sister has lent me (reviews to follow!). The book I will now review is - ?Hunted by P.C and Kristin Cast? A note to mention that this will contain spoilers for the previous books, this is unfortunate but unavoidable as this is a series that follows on. The book starts where the previous finished off, anyone familiar with the previous reviews will now the central characters, but for you newbies I will recap! After a dark angel, Kalona rises from his earthly tomb, right slap bang in the middle of the house of night grounds, and the high priestess Neferet...

Review of Hunted - Kristin Cast

Hunt the hunters :-)

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Bloody, vicious, inhumane sport, and all for sport :-(

...As I'm a vegetarian, and avid protester against animal cruelty, I think you can guess which viewpoint this review will be backing. However, I will try to list some of the protests fox-hunters make (and show you why these protests are so wrong) For those of you who are unaware of some of the details surrounding fox-hunting, I'll do my best to fill you win. Fox hunting is an activity involving the tracking, chase, and usually the killing of a fox, by trained foxhounds or other scent hounds, followed by a group of people on horseback, led by a master of foxhounds. This 'sport' originated in Great Britain, and has spread to many corners of the developed world. However, in the UK, due to heavy pressure from animal rights activists, and the public in general, fox hunting was banned in 2004. Now, I will give a brief paragraph...

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...
