The Trotters are back where they belong for us all to see

Advantages: A fine story, more great comedy and a brilliant come back for the Trotter clan
Disadvantages: none, (even if they have aged somewhat)

...Director: Tony Dow Producer: Gareth Gwenlan Writer: John Sullivna Star: David Jason, Nicholas Lyndhurst, Tessa Peake-Jones, Gwyneth Strong.

Del Trotter, (David Jason), and his dippy brother Rodney, (Nicholas Lyndhurst), together with Cassandra, (Gwyneth Strong) and Raquel, (Tessa Peake-Jones). are all enjoying their life of luxury. That is until the Trotter bad luck gene kicks in and things go downhill faster than a dram of whisky down an Glaswegians throat, leaving the four of them high and dry, in trouble with the taxman and soon living back...

Review of Only Fools And Horses - If They Could See Us Now (DVD)

See The Light, and that's through music

Advantages: Good audio, excellent music, heady and EXCELLENT Cover design.
Disadvantages: Lacks variety, music over rides voice.

...Released in April this year See the Light is the second album of The Hours, after the debut in 2007 with Narcissus Road was not that phenomenal but it was definitely a triumph of integrity, a rare thing in contemporary music and mixed anger and intellect with intellect. Their word and songs epitomizes contempt for the status quo existining in the society and all our parts in it. You have to admire the album that smells of lonely bed-sit confessions. In fact only once, on Car Crash does it recall Narcissus Road's introverted pessimism. Anthony Genn is an industry veteran who has the experience of working with Joe Strummer, Pulp and UNKLE and Slattery was on keyboards for Black Grape. But what is important they have retuned their manifesto, they are now a group in 2009 ??..mean(s) what we say. Every note. Every beat. Every syllable...

Review of See The Light - Hours (The)

See All of New York For $45

Advantages: An amazing idea, it allowed us to see a lot more of New York
Disadvantages: Not always spaces upstairs, Annoying and Disrespectful Tour Guides

...(Tuesday) we started walking to Central Park, not only were we going in the wrong direction, but a man in a blue coat came up to us asking us to join their bus tour. Around us, we could see hundreds of men, in blue and red waistcoats, all holding laminated pieces of paper. My nan being the sceptical person she is, said no, we?re not buying anything from someone on the street, we don?t know what it is or if it?s any good. Luckily we were just near the Empire State Building, which if you read my previous reviews, you will know it?s right near our hotel, so we padded on back to the hotel to ask about the City Sights New York Bus Tour. The receptionist said she didn?t know too much about that particular bus tour, however, she has dealt with the Grey Line New York Bus Tours and they were supposed to be brilliant. She then told us, to walk out...

Review of Grey Line New York Sightseeing Bus Tours

A Glittering Comeback For All To See

Advantages: Terrific performances all round, compelling film
Disadvantages: Disappointing eding

...whether the film is good enough to be released. I think the film ended too quickly, nothing was wrapped up and I was extremely disappointed with the end result. It?s one of those films that is left to the audience to make up their mind about what happened however this is a film that I desperately wanted to see more of therefore when it ended I wasn?t too happy and felt quite cheated. I?ve given the film 4 stars based upon all the excellent performances and the compelling storyline, I think that if the ending had lived up to my expectations then this could have been a 5 star film. It?s quite a slow burning film which for me usually translates to boring however the film kept me hooked for the entire 109 minutes. It?s not something that I?d want to watch again in a hurry though as once you?ve seen it, there?s not much point in watching it all...

Review of The Wrestler

What Can You See?

Advantages: Encourages participation, teaches children the names of animals
Disadvantages: Some very young children may associate the words with the sounds that animals make!

...§§§ If You See A Kitten §§§ ~ Content & Format ~ This is a very simple book aimed at very young children. There isn?t really a strong story line but it certainly encourages participation which is great. It begins with ?If you see a cuddly kitten?..? on this page there is a drawing of a mouse and at the right-hand side of the page all the reader can see are two little paws, turn the page and you see a gorgeous fluffy little kitten on the double page with the text ?say ?Ahhh!? To the right of this page there is the statement ?If you see a pongy pig?..? alongside the writing there is a little bit of a curly twirly pink tail, turn the page and yes you have guessed it, the following page shows a drawing of a rather muddy pig along with the sound to make ?say ?Pooo!? This is the format of the book, encompassing the following...

Review of United 93 (DVD)

Seeing Sounds? You What?

Advantages: Very original
Disadvantages: Possibly too experimental at times

..."Seeing Sounds" is the third album by N*E*R*D (Noone Ever Really Dies), who were said to have broken up a couple of years ago. Obviously, the rumours were not true, so Chad Hugo, Shay Haley and Pharrell Williams return with their Hip Hop-influenced Funk Rock music, but they are not concerned about rigidly sticking to any genre. Hugo and Pharrell make up The Neptunes, one of the biggest names in music production in any genre. Their beat making has been hear across the board from Hip Hop, to Pop, to R&B, and towards the end of the ninties and start of the '00s they managed to dominate airwaves with their distinctive spacey beats being heard everywhere. From here with the addition of the drummer Shay Haley, they take on all of their success and use it to make music for which they have more passion in creating. Generally the genre...

Review of Seeing Sounds - N.E.R.D.

see no evil hear no evil

Advantages: good entertainment and some funny scenes
Disadvantages: some people may not like it.

...with Dave hearing nothing, only seeing a long legged lady leaving the store and Wally seeing nothing but hearing the gunshot and an exchange of voices the pair must stick together to prove their innocence. As the pair flee from the law, trying to prove their innocence by tracking down the real killer little do they realise that the real killers, Eve, (played by Joan Severance) and Kirgo, (played by Kevin Spacey), are looking for them. The chase goes on. **IN CONCLUSION** Not the greatest of movies but the repartee between Pryor and Wilder can be hilarious. For starters the interview for the store assistant is comical, with Dave being Deaf and Wally being blind, and the pair having no idea about each others disabilities, a lot of confusion is inevitable. To be perfectly honest, when you pair a stubborn blind man and a happy...

Finding a way through it all

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: see review

...I've not been on ciao all that long and I'm still on a little white dot which looks very pitiful next to my name but I am new and I find it hard to get the time to write lots at the minute but today I thought I would write a 'free' review about myself seeing as I'm new so you guys can get to know me. My name is Gia and I'm 27. I'm originally from Bulgaria but we moved over to England when was 12 and I have adopted the English way of life and think of it as home. I soon settled in in England, I made lots of friends at school and I was very popular at schol because not only was a new girl which warranted a lot of interest but I also am an identical twin- cue lots of double looks and people playing spot the difference. Once I left school I went on to college and studied photography where i was really happy studying something i was...

Review of All About Me

All About Me

Advantages: Might be interesting
Disadvantages: Might not be interesting

..., I would prefer them to be meaningful as it annoys me when people get a tattoo for no reason, or get a tattoo of their boyfriends name. I?d love one on my hip. 06. How much do you love your job on a scale of 0-5: 4, I?m a student still at school doing my GCSE?s. I see my friends, the teachers are all right and there some lessons I really enjoy like History, English and Geography. On the other hand, there?s the uniform, getting up early and maths and science. 07. Favourite colour: Really dark purple, it?s a great colour for everything ? eyeliner, clothes, my room, etc. It really suits me somehow. 08. Home County: I?ve lived in the same house ever since I was born, and this is in Northumberland, it?s a beautiful yet very diverse county. There are miles of rural countryside, at the same time as the rugged coastline...
