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...

Review of Channel 5 - Sunset Beach

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...

Bondi Beach

Advantages: read opp
Disadvantages: read opp

...BONDI Bondi beach is perhaps the most famous beach in Australia if not the World. The glowing white sand, the cool breeze from the sea and the glorious whether make it one of the greatest tourist?s attractions in Australia. Everyone will tell you if you are in Sydney you have to go to Bondi Beach, and they are right, Bondi is one of the best experiences a tourist can have. History: Bondi Beach is located in the Area of Bondi, which is in Vaucluse, Sydney with an area population of about 10,000. Bondi which is originally an Aboriginal word means ?water breaking over rocks or noise of water breaking over rocks?. Between 1855 and 1877 the area was under private ownership and it was used to allow people to come and use the area as a leisure ground and picnic spot. Eventually the area of Bondi and the beach was taken over by...

On The Beach

Advantages: Sensual guitar solos's ; Good lyrical craftsmanship ; A good folk rock offering
Disadvantages: Some may find certain songs depressing ; Not as good as Young's pervious three iconic albums ; Not much in the way of linear notes

...one of the best live albums ever created. Then my curiosity took me into the weird and wonderful 'On the beach' lp. Neil Percival Young was born on November 12th, 1945 in Toronto, Canada. His father was a great talent himself a sportswriter and novelist. He spent the majority of his youth in a small town called Omemee, which he later wrote his hit song 'helpless' on. Tragically when he was six years old he caught a bad case of polio which weakened the left side of his body badly, he still walks with a limp as a result. His parents divorced when he was 12 and he moved back to Winnipeg with his mother and attended the local high school. He played in a variety of local rock outfits before befriending fellow folk stars Joni Mitchell and Steven Stills. He had fair success with a band called 'The buffalo Springfield' which projected...

Review of On The Beach [Remastered] - Neil Young

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...

It's Back! A second helping of ham, anyone?

Advantages: Addictive, ridiculous, hilarious plots
Disadvantages: It's only five days a week

...Sunset Beach (1997-1999) This is quite simply what daytime TV was made for. Without it there is a hole in my life. Sunset Beach returned to our screens on Channel 5, Monday 6th September 2004. They are repeating the entire 3 year run, now at 10am on weekdays. It?s been going for four months now and I thought it best to update my review to help pave the way for any fans to be. If you haven?t seen it before it?s never too late to catch up on events. Especially not with a substantial number of flashbacks per episode. Sunset Beach is another of those gaudy, in your face, lifestyles of the rich (and sometimes famous), hour a day soaps. It comes from Aaron Spellings now enormous production stable. Some of Spellings previous successes include Starsky and Hutch (1975 ? 1979), Dynasty (1981 ? 1989), Charmed (1998-present). His...

A Real Peach of a Beach!!

Advantages: A beautiful clean beach with something for everyone!
Disadvantages: It's so far away!!

...We usually like to try a new place every year for our summer holidays but this year we decided to return to the resort of Puerto Rico on the island of Gran Canaria after staying there last year. One of the main reasons for the return was the fact that we loved the apartments we had stayed in last year and the other main reason was for the wonderful Amadores Beach. Not being a family of beach lovers after visiting this beach once, we were totally hooked and just couldn?t get enough of it! Set with the unusual backdrop of newly built, extraordinary and very classy looking hotels built into the high volcanic rock the Amadores beach should not be missed. The beach itself is actually manmade and almost forms a complete circle with the sand being crescent shaped with huge boulders then arching out into the water leaving only a fairly...
