Ocean's Eleven

Advantages: Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Las Vegas
Disadvantages: None

...Ocean's Eleven Brad Pitt, George Clooney and a whole host of other good looking guys planning the crime heist of the century, what more could you want from a movie! Ocean's Eleven is actually a 2001 remake of the 1960 Rat Pack caper film of the same name. I've never seen the original but I would like to so I can compare the two. What's the ocean got to do with it? Is it set by the beach? No, Danny Ocean is the name of the game leader who collects together all his friends to rob three casinos in Las Vegas. And why eleven, why there are eleven people who carry out the crime. Danny has the perfect friends in order to carry out this job, one is a fixer, another a blackjack dealer, another a pickpocket, all worthy occupations to help you scam casinos out of $150 million!! Danny is played brilliantly by the gorgeous George Clooney. He is so...

Ocean's Twelve review

Advantages: Great cast
Disadvantages: Not as good as the first film

...Ocean's Twelve is the sequel to the 2001 smash hit Ocean's Eleven. It again stars George Clooney as Danny Ocean, who again has to bring his original team back together again when Terry Benedict (Andy Garcia) finds them all and demands his money back. The team now have the job of returning all of Benedict's money or face going to jail. But they may have a way out, in the shape of premier thief Francois Toulour, who will pay the entire amount if they can prove they are the best thieves in the world. I love Ocean's Eleven, it's one of my favourite films, and I was disappointed when this failed to live up to my expectations. Perhaps I shouldn't have expected as much, sequels very rarely match the first films in terms of quality. I am glad they got the entire cast back together, using someone else wouldn't have worked as well, as...

Ocean's Eleven Review

Advantages: Funny, witty, entertaining, I could go on
Disadvantages: None

...Ocean's Eleven is a remake of the 1960 film of the same name starring Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. Danny Ocean (George Clooney) has just been released from prison, but already has his next heist planned, and it's a big one. He plans to rob three Las Vegas casinos, The Bellagio, the Mirage and the MGM Grand, all in one night. He assembles a crack team including a pickpocket, a pyrotechnician, a technical whiz and, of course, a Chinese acrobat. Will he be able to pull off the biggest heist in history? This film probably has one of the best casts of any movie ever, with a perfect balance of new talent (Casey Affleck, Scott Caan), established superstars(George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Andy Garcia) and old school legends (Elliott Gould, Carl Reiner). Everyone is on top of their game here, with fantastic chemistry...

Review of Ocean Avenue - Yellowcard

Oh, oh, Ocean Park!

Advantages: A fun-filled day out, educational as well as entertaining
Disadvantages: Long walks and queues can be lengthy

...Whenever we are on holiday in Hong Kong, we are sure to visit Ocean Park. It costs about £16 for an adult (half price for child) but via a promotional offer we paid less than twelve quid for a ticket. The theme park is split into two parts, and these are connected by a cable car ride system. The Lowlands - which is where the main entrance is situated - is where the Giant Pandas can be seen. I only saw An An this time around, so I have yet to see the new arrivals Le Le and Ying Ying. But the disappointment of the day was that lunch at the Boardwalk Cafe was pretty poor. Should have went to the McDonald's there. Much of the main attractions are at the Headlands, however if the cable car ride getting there was off-putting first time around, there's the Tai Shue Wan entrance/exit to take visitors back down to the Lowlands. Of the rides...

Siam Ocean World

Advantages: Lots to see and do, original, good value for money
Disadvantages: None

...Myself and my boyfriend recently went to holiday in Bangkok Thailand and while we were there we visited the Siam Ocean World. Location The Siam Ocean World is located on the first and second floors of the Siam Paragon Shopping centre which is pretty much in the middle of the City of Bangkok. Siam Ocean World The entrance consists of the ticket booths where visitors can purchase their tickets. The tickets vary in price depending on what you want to see when you get in. WE decided we wanted to see the 4D Theatre, the Glass Bottom Boat and the Aquariums. For this ticket we paid £8 which we thought was reasonable. Just inside the entrance to Siam Ocean World, there is a gift shop called Shark Shop where you can purchase the normal merchandise of key rings, paperweights and mugs etc. Just to the left of the entrance, there is...

There's a Place Called Ocean Avenue

Advantages: Some strong tracks present on this thirteen track album.
Disadvantages: Some tracks fail to impress.

...'Ocean Avenue' is the 2004 album from the American Pop Punk band Yellowcard. Although fitting snugly into the genre of Pop Punk, the band actually incorporate a violin into their sound and this is something that makes them stand out a little from the crowd. When you listen to the music of Yellowcard it is not your standard Pop Punk affair and therefore their music is all the more interesting to listen to. The first track I ever heard from this album was 'Life of a Salesman', a track that initially put me off listening to 'Ocean Avenue' as I was not at all a fan of what I heard. With 'Life of a Salesman' there is just too much going on within the track at once and as a result it all seems a little congested as the band progress their way through this three minute piece of Pop Punk. The drums just don't seem to fit with the guitars...

The ocean may be endless....

Advantages: Astonishingly brilliant graphics
Disadvantages: Seems to be no set goals

...My brother borrowed Endless Ocean off one of his friends and being the great big sister I offered to play on it with him for a bit the other night. Your character for the entire game is a diver and your task as far as I can tell is to complete as many dives as possible and complete small missions. The game begins with you getting the option to choose your character. Now I have to admit that the options here are limited and to be honest you only really get to choose whether your character is a man or a woman and what colour hair they have but I suppose it is better than nothing. Once the game begins you are walked through the movement of your diver both on the boat and in the water. The controls are very simple to master and the walkthrough makes this process even easier. Now the game starts and you are tasked to dive in...

Park yourself here and overlook the Ocean.

Advantages: Good 5 star hotel, super food
Disadvantages: A long walk to town centre

...Madeira is an island in the Atlantic Ocean, sometimes called the Pearl of the Atlantic or the floating garden, the flowers are magnificent here and it is a very green island, because of the careful usage of water and the mild climate. This was our third visit to Madeira - we like it, as it's warm without being too hot, the people are so friendly and the food and wine is good too! We choose the Tivoli Ocean Park through a getaway break with our Timeshare, but anyone can stay in the suites at this hotel, there are 23 Terrace suites and 24 Tower suites, ours was in the Tower, which is the central part of the hotel with sea views from the balcony. There are also 245 Deluxe/standard rooms and 21 Superior rooms, plus 4 deluxe for disabled guests. As the name suggests it is part of the Tivoli Hotel Group. Our balcony gave us a fabulous...

Potion From The Ocean

Advantages: Skin feels lovely, refreshing
Disadvantages: A bit expensive

...Ocean Salt is an exfoliator, containing sea salts (both coarse and fine no less!) to slough away those dead cells. It was recommended to me by my sister, who has used it for some months and swears by it. It is quite expensive, £5.25 for 120g or £9.95 for the larger pots (250g). At one time I wouldn't have dreamed of paying that for a pot of sea salt, but knowing that Lush products are very good quality, are not tested on animals (the big selling point to me) and use as few synthetic products as possible, I don't begrudge it quite so much. The packaging is quite plain as you can see from the picture, the standard black tub. You may expect something a bit more fancy, but Lush believe in using the minimum of packaging, and to be honest the products speak for themselves. Okay, back to the product itself. It is a grey...
