Review of Playmobil Equestrienne (Pony and Rider)

PALE RIDER

Advantages: Tasty, easy-to-drink
Disadvantages: I can't think of a single one

...Mrs P and I had a couple of nights break down in North Yorkshire a few weeks ago, and very nice it was too. But that's as never-no-mind. The only reason I'm mentioning it is because while there, I hunted down a few rare, and not-so-rare samples of the local produce, beer-wise, that is. One of the less rare beers was PALE RIDER, which I could've bought at my local store, but I didn't. I think the fact that traipsed nearly 200 miles to buy it (not specifically, of course) proves my dedication to the cause. The KELHAM ISLAND BREWERY of Sheffield began life in 1990 and in fact, was the first new independent brewery to be built in the city this century. Since then all of Sheffield's larger brewing concerns have closed down, which ironically (no pun intended) now also makes it Sheffield's largest brewery. Using only the finest...

Review of Pale Rider

Whale Rider

Advantages: it is good entertaining enough educational way film
Disadvantages: it is not too commercial

...Niki Caro director of "Whale Rider," does well. She was able to convince the Ngati Konohi Maori tribe, that she should be the one to adapt Maori book to the screen, despite the fact that she's a "pakeha" (a New Zealander of European descent). I’m not sure what "Whale Rider" suppose to be, an anthropological/sociological study of the Maori people or the universal story of female empowerment in traditional male society. Indeed, the book's author, Witi Ihimaera, said he wrote "Whale Rider" as a modern retelling of a Maori legend -- in response to his daughter's complaining about the boy always being the hero. Main protagonist is Pai a Maori girl of 13 whom feels that her destiny is to become the leader of her Maori tribe, a whale rider in order to please her grandfather. She’s not allowed learning warrior skills thought by her...

Ghost Riders In The Sky

Advantages: The theme music and some decent special effects
Disadvantages: The plot, script and general all round storyline

...When he finds out that his father has terminal cancer, Johnny Blaze makes a pact with the Mephistopheles (Peter Fonda) to give him his soul if he saves his father. Once he has his soul the devil saves Blaze's father temporally as per the agreement but double crosses him and kills Barton Blaze in a motorcycle accident. Many years later Johnny (Nicholas Cage) is risking his life in madder stunts every week until one week the Mephistopheles calls in his debt. If Johnny accepts the offer the devil will release him from his curse, but only if he becomes the Ghost Rider and stops his evil son Blackheart from destroying the world. The transformation of Ghost Rider to the big screen is the latest in a long list of Marvel comics to be made into a Hollywood blockbuster. Just like the majority of those films it also finds itself added to...

Alex Rider - Stormbreaker on DS - poor fighting game

Advantages: Extra unlockable content, snooker sub-game
Disadvantages: A very poor game, poor value and poor execution

...This review is for the game Alex Rider - Stormbreaker for the Nintendo DS, developed by Altron and published by THQ. The game is an arcade type game with lots of different kinds of game play, from driving to snooker and from fighting to exploring. Primarily though the aim is to fight your way through the levels with numerous sub games. In terms of difficulty, the game is too easy, and I say that as someone who doesn?t necessarily find games simple to complete. There is a lack of challenge generally in the game and very little in the game to make a player return. The fighting element of the game, which is most of it, is quite pointless, with your character able to easily beat even groups of opponents. There are some highlights in the game, including the mini game, the snooker game, which is quite fun and entertaining. But people...

Review of Alex Rider: Stormbreaker (Nintendo DS)

A Homage To Easy Rider

Advantages: One of the greatest all round movies produced
Disadvantages: Elements of the story get slightly lost

...?We blew it? one of the most confusing but ultimately one of the most accurate remarks in film history. Easy Rider is one of the most complex and unlikely film hits of all time; it takes the role of an event rather than a film, it is in fact a moment in history perfectly captured. It is a relic, a symbol of the 1960?s attitudes and a benchmark for the Hollywood new wave. After the new wave got it?s legs in 1967 with The Graduate and Bonnie and Clyde, Easy Rider was the defining picture that got the ball well and truly rolling. It had done away with all the old Hollywood conventions and was a combative production set to upset the powers that be and galvanise a nation of baby boom products. It achieved all that it wanted to but did far more, so much more in fact that it took all that were associated with the film and the entire...
