Review of Street Hawk

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...

THE ROCK!

Advantages: read opp
Disadvantages: read opp

...In 1996, Michael Bay directed the box office smash hit "The Rock", starring Nicholas Cage, Sean Connery and Ed Harris. Although quite a old film, I once again saw this film last week, and I cant seem to get bored of it. Michael Bay is a brilliant director, his story telling, action sequences and special effects always make a film watchable. The Plot: The film revolves around a group of rogue marines, who fed up with the American governments support for war veterans, decide to plot revenge on their own government. Led by Francis X. Hummel (Ed Harris), the marines steal VX nerve gas from a military base. They then find themselves taking hostages at Alcatraz Island, were guided tours are now present. The marines take control of the island, planting the VX nerve gas al over the island ready to launch if needed. Now knowing...

Tony Hawk is back

Advantages: great graphics, great game, real tony hawk experience
Disadvantages: none

...Tony hawks proving ground is one in a long line of Tony Hawk video games. Tony Hawk video games have been very popular throughout and Proving Ground is no different. Proving round is avalibleon many platforms from console gaming to portable gaming. The proving Ground I have is for the nintendo ds. At the time I bought it for about £8 from argos which at the time I remeber thinking that for a brand new ds £8 is a very good price. A bargain in other words and I wasn't disappounted. For £8 you expect the game to be alright but this went above my expectations. Game modes Story mode This is where you skate through different cities completing challenges and trying to unlock rewards along the way. In this mode there different paths that you can go along such as hardcore skater or pro skater. Each path comes its own different lifestlye...

Review of Tony Hawk's Proving Ground (Nintendo DS)

Hawks is Back! (not Chesney)

Advantages: Good Game Play
Disadvantages: Novilty wearing off

...Tony Hawks Proving Ground for the Wii.... Having only recently bought a Wii console I was a bit unsure as to what games to get that would have the best game play. Initially with the console I got more sport like games but because I purchased several of sport type games I was soon a little fed up and that took me to my local Game store where I swapped Mario Olympics for Tony Hawks Proving Ground (and Call of Duty). The game was priced at £29.99pencebut luckily enough was on a boy one get one free offer so with the swap of my Mario game I only had to pay an additional £10 to get Tony Hawks and Call of Duty. I thought this a great deal. The age rating on this game is a 12 so there is not really much blood and gore thankfully as it is only a skateboarding game! Now I have played many Tony Hawks games right from the first one...

Hawks Hatchet Job

Advantages: Reasonably amusing
Disadvantages: Predictable, unlikely

...Anyone who has read "Round Ireland with a Fridge" in which Tony Hawks gives an account of how he dragged a small refrigerator around the coast of Ireland to win a bet, will be forgiven for assuming that hawks has now moved further afield to heave a Steinway through the mountains between France and Spain. For once, this is a Tony Hawks book that has not come about because of a crazy bet; in the best he has taken on bets to demonstrate his tennis skills (in "Playing the Moldovans at Tennis") and has traveled the world in the hope of having another hit single (in "One Hit Wonderland" he tried to add to his tally of one hit single, the first being the unmemorable "Stutter Rap" by Morris Minor and the Majors), as well as dragging a white appliance along the coastal byways of Eire. " A Piano in the Pyrenees" sees our hero by a small...

* Let's Rock At Camp! *

Advantages: Teens will like it!
Disadvantages: Does'nt Feature much of the Jonas Bros!

...Being a High School Musical fan , when I heard that there was a new 'music' film out , I just had to see what Disney had come up with and whether it was live up to the success of High School Musical. Camp Rock is an American Disney Channel Original movie released in the United Kingdom on September 1st 2008. The film was directed by Mathew Diamond and stars a few already 'well known' children's entertainers , including the American boyband The Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato. Running time of this movie is ninety four minutes (four minutes over one hour and a half). This movie is a U which means it can be seen by children of all ages! The film is about a girl called Mitchie who is a performer ; her dream is to become a professional. She has heard about a performing summer camp called 'Camp Rock' , and so really wants to spend...

Rock and roll for the masses

Advantages: Great actors and characters, enjoyable, great music
Disadvantages: It loses its way sometimes, a bit long

...really isn't too graphic. Like most films, The Boat That Rocked does have its flaws. It is incredibly long, for a start, at 135 minutes. Watching it on DVD, that didn't bother me too much, but I think it could have definitely have been edited down a fair bit. I also felt that the film didn't really have an identity. There is so much going on and so many characters involved that it lost its way at times. The basic plot is that the government want to shut the radio station down, but at times, it was possible to forget about all that, because it really did seem to be in the background. And it was perhaps a mistake to have so many leading characters - it was hard to concentrate on any one person and their story because there were so many other stories going on at the same time. It is probably a film that will improve with watching, because...

Ash Wednesday - Ethan Hawke

Advantages: Almost a good book
Disadvantages: Shallow narrative and two dimensional characters

...Ash Wednesday - Ethan Hawke I bought this on whim when I was recently stocking up on books for my daily commute. I had no idea that Ethan Hawke was now writing books but was swayed by the cover art and blurb and was intrigued to see the kind of work he was putting out. Pretty thin reasons for buying a book but there you go. Here's what I thought. As an actor Hawke has been around for many years now, first coming to prominence in the saccharine Robin Williams blub fest that was Dead Poet's Society. Since that time he has appeared in many Hollywood films of varying quality but has managed to build himself a solid reputation as a semi-serious thesp. As an author he published his first novel, 'The Hottest State', in the late nineties and followed it several years later with 'Ash Wednesday'. 'The Hottest State' is a tale...

Rock ON!!!

Advantages: Great game, lots of music, levels
Disadvantages: None

...Guitar Hero 3 - Legends of Rock!!! My husband and I love our Wii and are always looking for new games and when Guitar Hero came out we knew we had to get it. I had heard about it alot from other people and from reading reviews for other games systems so was excited when I saw it had come out for Wii. We bought the game pack from Argos for £69.99, a bit steep for a new computer game but bear in mind that you are not only getting a game but also the hardware to go with it, namely the guitar. The guitar is plastic and I would say almost as big as a real guitar but not quite. It looks and feels like a real guitar so already the game has an authentic feel to it. It comes with a strap that you can detach and that allows you to put over your head and hold onto the guitar safely, much like a real one. When you first start out...
