Before Sunset

Advantages: Masterful performances, pacing, visually stunning, touching story.
Disadvantages: May lack something without knowlege of the first film.

...I am a relative newcomer to the world of Before Sunrise and Before Sunset. Even though the first film, released in 1995, has built up a large cult following since it's release, I had to admit that until fairly recently, I was rather oblivious to it all. However, a number of people kept advising that I see it, and eventually I did, and was completely blown away. The simple tale of characters falling in love over the course of one night had so much more depth than I possibly could have imagined. Once I had seen the first, I was going to have to see the second, even though I have never encountered a sequel that managed to live up to the first film. However, one thirty mile trip into London to see it later, and I'm happy to say that this is the first sequel I've ever seen that manages to be equal the first film in every way, and in some...

Hip and Chic on the Sunset Strip: Grafton on Sunset

Advantages: Hip and trendy decor, good location, great value for money
Disadvantages: Might be too trendy, seems to market itself towards a party crowd

...Pre-visit I had probably heard more bad things about Los Angeles than good so it was with some trepidation that we decided to spend the final three nights of our honeymoon in the city of angels. Furthermore, after having spent the rest of the trip being pampered and pandered to in some of the best five star hotels in the places we visited, this time we decided to try something a bit different. The Grafton on Sunset is certainly not down-market; in fact it is a boutique four-star hotel. However the other hotels we stayed in on honeymoon were elegant, sophisticated and definitely very grown up, whereas this one came across as being younger, funkier and situated in a location known for its nightlife, Sunset Boulevard. In the end we decided this could be just the ending to the trip that we wanted. I first identified the hotel...

A sunset over Avalon

Advantages: great listening
Disadvantages: none

...Van Morrison was born in 1945 George Ivan Morrison. In the early 60s he began his singing career. In 1966 he was the lead singer in a band called Them, He left them after a couple of years and began his solo career as a singer songwriter. His music is a rock rhythm and blues some jazz, with Celtic influence. Avalon sunset was produced in 1989 and the words of the songs show his religious beliefs.This music is restful and peaceful with its spiritual overtones a little melancholy. I am an atheist, do not believe in god, however find this music good and listen to it occasionally. In the first track Whenever god shines his light Van Morrison sings and is backed by sir Cliff Richards. Van has a growley, gravely voice and it contrasts with cliffs sweeter voice. This is an upbeat song with a gospel feel to it. I sit here listening to...

Review of Avalon Sunset - Van Morrison

It's always romantic Before Sunset

Advantages: Original in many ways, Moving, Thought-provoking
Disadvantages: Takes some of the prequel's magic away

...Julie Delpy?s Celine again and he has just a few hours until his plane leaves to say everything he?s been harboring for the last 9 years. However, it appears as if barely a week has passed since their last encounter: During their Parisian stroll their unbelievable chemistry is gloriously presented for us to cherish and give us quite a few things to reflect on. ***The Qualities*** ?Before Sunset? caught me completely off-guard with its many highlights when I first saw it and inconspicuously became one of my favourite movies, ever. The biggest draw has to be its pace. Even though it is basically two people talking, Jessie and Celine?s connection really carries the audience and time blurs past as you see the sparks fly out. With many contemporary movies feeling overlong despite using every CGI trick in the book, it really baffles me...

Review of Before Sunset (DVD)

Before Sunset- As brilliant as its predecessor Before Sunrise

Advantages: Story.Characters.Realistic feel
Disadvantages: Wanted it to be longer in duration!

...after 9 years after the night, where Ethan is in Paris to promote his book which he actually wrote about his memories of that night nine years ago. We see Julie Delpy who came to meet Hawke there, and this is the first time they are meeting after 9 years. What follows is the story of that day,from that time till sunset, as Ethan has a flight to catch later that evening. We see the two of them talking, talking about life in these 9 years, talking about love and relations. Its a fantastic script, the film kept down to just over an hour, making sure that the film is compact and manages to hold the audiences throughout the duration. Its so essential that the dialogues are realistic, yet witty. It seems like they are soul mates, and the conversation is diverse and straight from heart. As an audience, you would feel sorry for them, you would wish...

Review of Just After Sunset - Stephen King

Sunset Heat

Advantages: fab smell
Disadvantages: none

...To me sunset heat is an amazingly light, fruity smell. Great for any summer day or shopping / beach trip. it has a natural attraction to it and you will want to wear it all day long, which seems to be a good thing as it lasts for hours on end. it has obvious hints of papaya, lemon and watermelon, with pineapple and musk being recognised too, this great blend of fruits comes in one great bottle. the bottles is stunning and is designed to match the perfume. made with orange and yellow glass, the colours reflect the smell of the perfume. this attracting perfume comes in three great sizes of 30 ml, 50 ml, and 100 ml and also comes in shower gel and body lotion so you can smell great all the time i do not have any negative comments towards this great value for money...

Review of Sunset in St Tropez - Danielle Steel

I'm On Heat, We're All On Sunset Heat!

Advantages: Gorgeous light smell
Disadvantages: Doesn't last long

...I first smelled this fragrance when an orange lady in Boots asked if I'd like to try it. She sprayed some onone of those little cardboard tester slips and straight away I loved it. Being something of a perfume addict and already having quite a few bottles to be getting on with I decided to think about it. I went and tried some on several times before finally deciding to treat myself and buy a bottle. The packaging is quite bright, although lots of products have similar colours at this time of year. The box is the same colour as the bottle shown in the picture above and has drawings of a lady in sunglasses, it's quite easy to find on the shelf. Sunset Heat is described on the website thus - 'A spritz of Escada Sunset Heats light, sexy scent perfectly embodies your feelings of anticipation and excitement at where the night might...

Sunset Beach

Advantages: Soooo addictive
Disadvantages: What, There are none

...at 10.30 every single morning Monday to Friday I was up, laid in bed watching the fantastic Sunset Beach in 1997 channel 5 aired the first episode and it started out as a pretty normal soap. Things were to change Over a 3 years, it had changed to the most unrealistic, unbelivable soap in history featuring the most wacky plots, the most stupid charactors and lots more. Here are my favorites The Sunset Beach Murders - Yeah could seem like a normal part of a soap opera to say its happening in Coronation Street but the killer was the famous Charactor Ben, but that was not the case, it then appeared to be his identical twin Derik, Confused yet? Well then Derik later on in Sunset Beach life came back, hid Bed away somewhere and lived his life with the wonderful Meg. Then later on Ben managed to escape and was thought to have killed...
