Llanes - On The Rocks

Advantages: Beautiful room with an amazing window
Disadvantages: Llanes is a little quiet

...Halfway along the Northern coast of Spain, in the province of Asturias, lies the picturesque fishing village of LLANES. This area around Llanes is typical of the region - hundreds of secluded coves set amidst a backdrop of luscious, verdant vegetation, and framed by a mountain range which runs almost continuously along the whole length of the coast. The mountains save their most spectacular formation for the area immediately to the south of Llanes where they rise up to form the PICOS de EUROPA. We had continued our journey through 'Green Spain' to the aforementioned village where we had booked a room for a couple of nights at HOTEL LAS ROCAS. The hotel isn't particularly big (33 rooms) but it's slap bang in the middle of town and, although Llanes isn't a large settlement, in common with many other Spanish towns the narrow...

Pig Sex

Advantages: More adventure laden Italian exploitation
Disadvantages: Stacy Keach's acting

...with Professor Edward Foster (Stacy Keach) gives them a level of hope; furthermore a guide as Foster seems to know exactly where Stevenson has gone. And so begins the quest through the Jungle of New Guinea across the water to Roca, and the Mountain of Ra Ra Mi, where our explorers encounter many sights and wonders, but also much horror as their rather large expedition gets smaller and smaller. Once on Roca the leading explorers encounter the Pooka a race of Cannibals and a horrifying truth that none of them were expecting. Mountain starts on an uneasy keel, lots of kings of the jungle squaring up to each other for a fight, luckily the UK print edits this down making it more comfortable viewing; but if you stumble across the uncut version sacrilege of animals is not pleasant viewing. It's soon spun onto a more level footing and it's not long...

Review of Grand Champ - DMX

Why Rent Love . . . If You can Make It!

Advantages: Good story, full of drama..it will make you cry!
Disadvantages: Nothing to mention!

...can?t deny the fact that it does exist. Love For Rent aka Amor En Alquiler (in Spanish) The story began with a twenty- three year old beautiful Colombian woman Sofia (Angie Cepeda) who lived in Los Angeles. She is studying law to become a lawyer. As a foreigner, she couldn?t study in the states unless she had a green card; in order to get it (and like many foreign girls) she and her cousin Monica (singer Martita Roca) who also wanted a green card in order to be a singer, both had to illegally get married to get to stay. Monica?s husband was ?harmless? according to Monica?s statement but Sofia?s bad luck had thrown a ?man? into her way who turned out to be a total bastard (excuse the language) as he had stolen all her belongings, her furniture and even her study books! What?s more he left her...

Freeweezy

Advantages: Great production
Disadvantages: A couple of boring tracks

..."Philadelphia Freeway came as the debut album from Freeway in 2003. The Roc-A Fella rapper comes with something fresh for Hip hop as he performs an underground styled verion of it all with a destinctive Philly sound (which never went mainstream. 1. "Free" Starting the album off in the right way, Freeway introduces himself by letting the raps speak for him (if you get what I mean) as he makes sure that it is the skills of writing lyrics and delivery which introduce the listeners to him, rather than a short biography by him. **Four Stars** 2. "What We Do" I have heard this one so many times, but I never really picked up on how good of a trakc it was unitl recently as I could finally appreciate all of the tune with the whole arrangement of having the best talent of Roc-A-Fella together with freeway collaborating with Benaie...

Review of Philadelphia Freeway [PA] - Freeway

Jay-Z - Back In The Game

Advantages: Great songs, Great artist
Disadvantages: none that I know of

...Ever since I started to listen to rap music I have always liked Jay-Z. From reasonable doubt to the blueprint he hasn't lost his flair. Jay-Z started out rapping back in 1996 on his own record label roca-fella-records. He was also good friends with rapper biggie smalls and attended the same school in brooklyn as busta rhymes. I decided to get this album simply because I have all his other releases and wanted to carry on the collection. Nothing has been able to touch his first album until this was released. As soon as I heard Izzo (Hova) being palyed on the radio I knew I had to have it. Here is the track listing for the blueprint 1. The Rulers Back 2. Takeover* 3. Izzo (Hova)* 4. Girls, Girls, Girls* 5. Jigga That N***a 6. U Don't Know 7. Hola' Hovito* 8. Heart Of The City* 9. Never Change* 10. Song Cry 11. All I need...

Review of Nightlong (PC)

A Gossip Monger's Field Day

Advantages: A glossy magazine with a free magazine inside, plenty of celebrity gossip
Disadvantages: None

...featured. In the main magazine, there are an amazing thirty seven full page advertisements for various products. However, my interest in ?OK? is still not diminished, as the majority of the stories they run about various celebrities hold my interest. The media hungry Victoria Beckham has a large article devoted to her new career move, a model for Roca Wear. Although the article itself is very informative, both about Mrs Beckham?s latest job, and the company she is working for, there is no interview with her. ?OK? also specialises in large spreads featuring a celebrity and their partner/spouse, wherein a lengthy interview takes place with the couple, and features many pictures of them in different outfits. The caption for each photograph then lists stockists for each outfit, together with their prices. The ?Celebrity Round Up...

Review of OK Magazine

  All the rum you can drink...

Advantages: All inclusive, great staff, great food, good atmosphere
Disadvantages: Entertainment can become repetitive

.... Of course drinks of all sorts were available throughout your meals, as indeed they are wherever you may be in the hotel. At dinner in the La Roca restaurant we are allocated one of the nicest tables in the corner of the spacious dining room with a window letting in a gentle evening breeze, as well as the sound of the wildlife outside. We realised how friendly everyone was. The waiters also made sure we were happy with everything. The food was really nice, they had so many different courses and there's no way we could try them all. They had also carved out figures like animals from fruit everywhere. Chefs cooked while you helped yourselves to whatever you wanted. Tours of the kitchens were available, so they have nothing to hide! Entertainment while dining was generally a group of local singers with guitar etc playing songs especially for you...
