Escapism . .

Advantages: Escapism, cheap, not to be taken too seriously.
Disadvantages: Slightly dated, not that believable.

...In this review, the plot will not be given away, you may read every word without fear of it being spoilt. (I may regret this) Escape to Athena, a very good war film, actually released on the 6th of June (D day) but in 1974. The cast consists of :- Anthony Valentine Claudia Cardinale David Niven Elliott Gould Roger Moore Stefanie Powers Telly Savalas There are of course many other actors in this film, plus the obligatory extras without whom productions like this would not be possible. The film carries a PG rating, which was probably right for the sevebties, but of course times move on, and I tend to think there is nothing in this movie, that would concern a parent. All the filming was carried out in Greece, (island of Rhodes actually) which is the actual location the film is supposed to be in, unlike the "spaghetti...

The Great Escape

Advantages: Thrilling adventure from the past
Disadvantages: none

...Director and producer: John Sturges Writers: James Clavell, W.R. Burnett and Paul Brickhill Stars: Steve McQueen, James Garner, Richard Attenborough, James Coburn, Charles Bronson and Donald Pleasence Released in the summer of 1963 this near three hour movie, based on some true events, depicts the lives of many Prisoners of War incarcerated in a German POW camp, Stalag Luft III, during the second world war, revealing the many escapes which were planned and executed, sometimes successfully, but mostly failures?

The Great Escape

Advantages: GREAT FILM
Disadvantages: NOTHING

...THE GREAT ESCAPE. The movie starts with prisoners being all brought to a new camp where the Germans hope to contain all of the best or from the Germans point of view, the worst escape artists that they have had to waste time and people chasing around the country. This camp has been especially built to contain them all. Regular number counts, difficult ground to tunnel in and all the inmates have their own identifying files kept and updated by the commandant. But they reckon without he intelligence and dogged spirit that the Americans and the British have in abundance. The plan is simple but daring to get out as many prisoners through a tunnel as humanly possible. 300 would be nice but anywhere close to that would be acceptable. The cast is stellar and the acting off the scale, truly a classic film that I...

Escaping the Prejudice.

Advantages: Great track listing, heartfelt singing.
Disadvantages: A few songs are oddly placed.

...When Ronnie Radke 'left' Escape the Fate (note: read, went to prison), there was an uproar in the ranks of fans who supported EtF. Rumours were shot round, till they found that finally, the band had gained a new singer. His name was Craig Mabbitt, and he was previously the lead in a band called Blessthefall. And then, more uproar occured. First came the "We want Ronnie!", then came the more intense "Craig sucks, so we're not going to listen till Ronnie comes back!". And thats just not fair. Craig and Ronnie have to different singing styles, and so they're not comparable. And it was from this point, that Craig had to prove himself. And prove himself he did. Because whilst I love Escape The Fate pre-craig, I love this band as much too. Too many people are comparing this band now, that have matured and grown into their musical style, to...

Review of Calvin Klein Escape

Don't Escape this!

Advantages: Brilliant combination of tunes, from up-beat to ballads.
Disadvantages: None at all.

...When I bought this album I wouldn't really have called myself an Enrique Iglesias fan. However after listening to what "Escape" has to offer, I was pleasently suprised and am now a huge fan Enrique fan. The first song I heard of his was "Bailamos",which was released in 1999, and means "We dance" in English, and I absolutely loved it. It is still one of my favourite songs because it's really holiday-esque, and typically spanish with the spanish guitar and some spanish lyrics. So after hearing this and his massive hit "Hero" which was released a few years later I thought I'd give this album a try. I used to listen to it when I first had it, and then recently got it out again, and it has been in my CD player ever since. By re-listening to it, I realised just what a great album it is, so thought I'd let you know all about it...

Escape with Calvin Klein

Advantages: great scent, long lasting
Disadvantages: high rrp, bottle is pretty plain

...I tend to like Calvin Klein perfumes as I find them different and, in general, pretty reasonably priced. Escape is no exception to this. A light, luxurious, floral fragrance that lasts throughout the day this perfume contains mandarin, apricot, apple, peach, plum and melon to give a fruity scent combined with sandalwood and cedarwood to give that woody base fragrance. It's a great blend that gives a refreshing perfume. It is widely advertised as a great perfume for the romantic occassion (it is) but I also find it great for day wear or evening wear as it is not at all overpowering and has great staying power. I know women of all ages that love and wear this fragrance. The bottle is pretty simple, as you can see from the picture, a simple clear glass with a silver lid and spray pump. Nothing spectacular, but I guess less is...

Advantages: The title explains the whole plot
Disadvantages: Predictable, unfunny jokes

...) quest. "Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantamano Bay" is the follow on from the first movie, and picks up the storyline where the first one finished. Harold (John Cho) is now totally besotted with his new girlfriend Maria (played by Paula Garces), however she has had to travel to Amsterdam on a modelling job. Harold and Kumar (Kal Penn) decide to follow Maria to the Dutch capital, but for different reasons - Harold, as he could not bear the thought of being separated from the love of his life, and Kumar for Amsterdam's relaxed attitude towards cannabis. The trip soon runs into trouble however when, on the plane, Kumar reveals a "smokeless bong" that he has made. Unfortunately, due to the electronic nature of of the device, the current security climate and the pairs ethnic origins, fellow passengers jump to the conclusion that Harold...
