Surfers Hostel

Advantages: cheap as!
Disadvantages: overpriced drinks

...The Surfers Hotel in Newquay, has an amazing location, very cheap rates, and a twenty-four-hour bar. What more could anyone staying in Newquay want from a hotel?? The hotel is situated at 1, Narrowcliff , which is literally across the road from Tolcarne Beach. Once you've stumbled down 130-odd steep steps anyway.. (going back up again is a caner!). Tolcarne itself is a beautiful beach, surrounded on the land-side with cliffs, but going out a long way at low-tide, and gets some surf second only to Fistral. It has lifeguard cover, as well as a couple of shops and cafés. The hotel site is just on the edge of the town centre, literally a hundred yards from Barracuda nightclub, Berties Uptown bar, and importantly, a cash point! It's about a five to ten minute walk to the centre of town, a fifteen to twenty minute walk to the opposite...

The Fantastic Movie - Fantastic 4 - Silver Surfer

Advantages: Brilliant Special Effects
Disadvantages: None

...I am writing a review on the brilliant film The Fantastic Four ? Rise of the Silver Surfer. I went to the cinema last night ? 28 June to see this film because I saw the first one and I loved it so I had to go and see the sequel. The Story Itself Fantastic Four have returned with a lot more trouble ? Reed & Sue (Mr Fantastic & Invisible Woman) are to be wed. But as superheroes, having a normal wedding wouldn?t be possible?

So? the wedding is ruined by an uninvited guest by an old enemy. So the Fantastic Four get together with the police to find out what is going on.

Surfer Rap?

Advantages: A couple of decent tracks
Disadvantages: Generally weak

...the risky style more than once (especially in one go) and so this track simply flops as they try out ?Surfer Rap?. **One Star** 5. ?Mr. Lenox? With help from Grand Hustle?s Young Dro, this one has them working with more of K.E. On Tha Track?s light, and almost laughably cartoony production as they perform another weak tune. Here they simply go over the sorts of material that was heard on their lead single and as they are on production that is so similar to the tunes prior to it, it sounds like the same track on repeat once again. **One Star** 6. ?Gotta Be? With the same producer behind the material, you find that he does make some changes here (at last) but doesn?t really do much that is really all that original as you find tha the gets down to something that is pretty representative of the watered-down Rap/R&B collaboration tunes...

Review of Jamboree - Fast Life Yungstaz

The Silver Surfer - Good or Bad???

Advantages: Well acted, nice storyline, Stuck to original story line quite well
Disadvantages: A little predictable, Silver Surfer could have had more screen time

...marriage of The invisible girl and Mr fantastic, It tells how it has had to be postponed three times previously for one reason or another and as they prepare for the wedding strange things start happening around the world that cause unrest. Next thing we know the military turn up with a question for mr Fantastic about the strange annomalies and so the story starts . . . . For anyone who remembers the Silver Surfer from the old cartoons etc then the story follows pretty much how you may well remember it, It sticks pretty close to how I remember the Silver Surfer coming about which is a good thing in my eyes as I don't like when the films deviate too much. Also there is a very brief appearance by Stan Lee, the creator of the Fantastic Four/Silver Surfer. All in all I enjoyed this film, Probably more so that the first. The characters were...

Review of Fantastic Four - The Rise Of The Silver Surfer (DVD)

F4: Rise of Silver Surfer (Standard DVD)

Advantages: Lots of Action
Disadvantages: Very Original Storyline

...Fantastic Four used to be my favourite comic book; But once again the guys at Marvel have created the same storyline yet again. Rise of the Silver Surfer sure is an enjoyable follow-up to the first fantastic four, but instead of offering an different approach Marvel have decided to stick to their guns and produce something pretty much the same as the first film. Once again there is something threatening the world and the only people to save it are fantastic four; much like the outline of spiderman, x-men and superman. Rise of the Silver Surfer finds the fantastic 4 fending off a threat to our planet. The arrival of The Silver Surfer causes Mr. Fantastic (Ioan Gruffudd), The Invisible Woman (Jessica Alba), The Human Torch (Chris Evans) and Ben Grimm (Michael Chiklis) to join forces with Victor von Doom (Julian McMahon, enemy in...

Review of Fantastic Four - The Rise Of The Silver Surfer (DVD)

I was talking to preachy preach about kissy kiss

Advantages: Best album by a brilliant band
Disadvantages: One or two vocal growls and barks too many

...Album: Surfer Rosa Artist: The Pixies Released: 1988 Producer: Steve Albini Label: 4AD Vocals/Guitar ? Black Francis Guitar ? Joey Santiago Bass/Vocals ? Kim Deal (credited here as Mrs John Murphy) Drums ? Dave Lovering TITLE OF REVIEW: I Was Talking To Preachy Preach About Kissy Kiss As part of my punk trilogy of music reviews, I decided I would write about at least one American punk band. It just so happened that the album I settled on ? Surfer Rosa ? influenced more 90s alternative rock bands than any other American indie/punk release I can think of. The Pixies are often described as an indie rock outfit, and I?ve seen some reviewers describe them as indie pop. However anyone who was had even a cursory listen to ?Come on Pilgrim? (1987) and especially ?Surfer Rosa? (1988), would have a different...

Vote Kinky For Govenor

Advantages: None Really
Disadvantages: Lots quite probabally

...Texas is a strange place evil lurks there in the guise of the Bushes as they are children of Satan sent to destroy all that is good an pure. It is also the home of the Butthole Surfers, 13th Floor Elevators and Kinky Freidman (1) who it could be argued are also children of Satan sent to destroy all that is good and pure. It all comes down to what goodness and purity you want to see destroyed, I'm with the latter camp myself. This album was recorded during their time with Capitol records in 1993, and is produced by former Led Zepplin Bassist John Paul Jones, probably thanks to the increased recording budget available. The title "Independent Worm Salon" Is and obvious statement about their feelings about major labels signing independent artists, but I would not say no to a big fat advance and worldwide distribution of my own music any...

Review of Independent Worm Saloon - Butthole Surfers

What are we Doing Here? Ah ha ha ha

Advantages: GRAND FUNK RAILROAD
Disadvantages: N0ne

...My God the Butthole Surfers have made it on here just as I was going to suggest them heh heh heh.............. How do you describe a band as amazingly unique as the Butthole Surfers? Well they hail from Texas and have a totally unique outlook on life, but then all the best bands have a unique outlook on life...... Electric Larryland was their last album on Capitol records and what they were doing on a major label sill confuses me, but this was the mid 90's and the labels realised that they could make money out of real alternative music, but not as much as they thought they could. Sorry for being a musical snob but I am a snob about art and refuse to appologise for it............. Right then folks the album kicks off with "Birds" a sort of metal grunge fest with Gibby Hayes distorted vocal screaming typically surreal lyrics that...
