Rouge

Advantages: smells gorgeous, great staying power, cheap
Disadvantages: available from Avon

...Christian Lacroix ~ Rouge ~ Eau De Parfum My local Avon representative gave me a sample of Christian Lacroix Rouge perfume to sample in September last year. I fell in love with the scent of the perfume almost instantly and decided to purchase a bottle of it; I love the scent that much that I have already polished off three bottles of it and have a fourth one on the way. The fragrance was launched in September 2007 in partnership with Avon; Avon currently sell Rouge for the price of £18 for a 50ml bottle. There is also a male version available too and this is called Noir which smells just as nice as the female version. As you can see from the picture at the top of this review the bottle of perfume is quite chunky and resembles a the shape of a tear drop and has a lovely chunky lid on top. I really like the design and colour...

Review of Christian Lacroix Rouge for Women

le cercle rouge

Advantages: Read Opp
Disadvantages: Read Opp

...le cercle rouge Directed by Jean-Pierre Melville, this film is similar to his previous film Le Samourai, in that there are good guys and bad, and there are the cops and robbers. The translation of the title meaning the Red Circle was based upon a Buddhist motto about those people who are destined to meet, eventually will. In this film the types of scenes included are an escaping prisoner, murder scene, police man-hunt, mob battles and an armed robbery to steal diamonds. The film starts off showing a German named train running through I would guess Paris. Though scene by scene the actors performances and directions really smartly executed and cool to watch. Corey, who has just been released from prison on good behaviour notice from the police, is given a job to do by a Prison Guard. Inspector Bourvil is escorting...

Review of Le Cercle Rouge (DVD)

Seeing Rouge

Advantages: Cinema as it is meant to be - loud, colourful and moving
Disadvantages: Can be too flashy for its own good

...Ten word review: Man loves woman he’s not supposed to, all ends badly. Sound familiar? Yes, welcome to my review of Romeo + Juliet: Special Edition, er, I mean Moulin Rouge, the new movie from Baz Luhrmann. Comparisons to the aforementioned Shakespearean extravaganza are inevitable (the film even features a rhyming couplet or two), but this is very much a new kind of moviemaking. Taking his cue from musicals of the past and music of the present, Mr Luhrmann has created an intense mix of surreal visuals, heart breaking songs and surprising performances to make this one of the most unforgettable experiences I’ve seen at the cinema in a long time. The basic plot runs quite simply. Christian, played by Ewan McGregor (Trainspotting, A Life Less Ordinary), escapes his strict father in England to write poetry in Paris...

Review of Moulin Rouge (Special Edition) (DVD)

MOULIN ROUGE

Advantages: Great story, amazing actors/actresses, worth watching
Disadvantages: Beginning bit quite boring

...This has to be the best film I have ever watched. It's one of my favourites. I can't remember the first time I watched it, I think I was about 14 me and my dad were at his and he put it on ... I'm not normally into music ones where theres loads of singing and dancing but this was just amazing. Especially the scene in Satine's bedroom and also on the elephant those bits were just fantastic. The film is contorversial and I would recommend your careful showing young children this film because of the sexy bits that appear in the film. THE PLOT Moulin Rouge is set in Paris at the start of the 1900's, with Ewan McGregor on his type writer. The next bit is a bit of a blur, because when I watch it, I just skip to the bit where he sings for the first time. Satine (Kidman) mistakes Christian (McGregor) for the Duke and tells him...

Review of Moulin Rouge (Special Edition) (DVD)

Aaaaah, Moulin Rouge

Advantages: Modern songs, great costumes, great actors/actresses.
Disadvantages: The plot wasn't that easy to follow.

...This review of Moulin Rouge was written as a project for my music class at school, which I must admit I am very proud of because I got an A and I haven?t achieved one of those in ages. It was fun writing the project as in class my friend Jenny who loves the film kept on coming up to me while I was writing and saying ?Aaah Moulin Rouge!? every five minutes, which got a bit annoying. I hope you enjoy reading as much as I enjoyed writing and getting a great grade for it! ~~THE STORY~~ ?This story is about truth ? this story is about beauty ? above all things this story is about love.? Christian is a young English poet who goes against his father?s wishes and moves to Monmatre, Paris. He meets the artist Toulouse ? Loutrec after an actor falls through the ceiling of Christian?s apartment and ends up hanging upside down. Teaming up...

Review of Moulin Rouge (Special Edition) (DVD)

moulin rouge is magnificant,

Advantages: good value for money, lots of tracks
Disadvantages: none come to mind

...For anyone who loved the film, this special edition soundrack album is a must have. Featuring all the songs from the musical, plus mixes and variations, this is a fantastic album. The collectors edition, is a 2 cd set, the main soundtrack album, plus a bonus disc, featuring other songs from the film, and also mixes of some of the tracks. The 2 cds each come in thier own case, and come in a red cardboard sleeve, with a gold picture frame, inside are the words moulin rouge. This album was released in 2002, following the huge success of the film. The film itslef was produced by Baz Luhrman, who is also famous for the musical strictly ballroom. The price is also very good, i bought this when it first got released and paid £14.99, the single cd was £11.99. But now that it has been out for a couple of years, the prices have gone...

Review of Moulin Rouge (Collector's Edition) - Original Soundtrack

Degree of commonsense needed at Cambridge Cafe Rouge

Advantages: Bargain prices, classic French dishes
Disadvantages: More adventurous dishes probably best avoided

...On a recent trip back to my old university town I was dining alone and did not want to look too sad and pathetic. Chain restaurants are not normally my thing but Cafe Rouge is rather different in its style: the decor is usually pleasant, food reliable, and I wanted to eat something healthy which ruled out pub food or the Eraina, the Greek taverna of my youth which I would normally have headed for. Cafe Rouge is opposite St John's College and next to the Baron of Beef pub, which has been completely destroyed by refurbishers. I can't remember what used to stand on the site where CR now is but it was possibly a woollens shop. Anyway, I looked at the menu and noted the two-course specials for less than a tenner and also the fact that many of the courses came with frites, which of course I wasn...

Review of Cafe Rouge, Cambridge

"Moulin Rouge" by an undying musical fan.

Advantages: All aspects of the film
Disadvantages: I'm biased and cannot find any disadvantages

...I just love musicals and always have done! This was a real eye opener for me as it takes a classic,l highly unoriginal idea of the poor writer falling for the ambitious actress only to be rebuffed, one over and then TRAGEDY strikes. However, in Moulin Rouge, the director, who previously made Romeo and Juliet and recently presented Australia, presents it all in a state of the art way and has you foot tapping until the end The sheer ambition of the presentation blows your breath away and the quirky use of pop classics is great fun. The main actors sing amazingly well and it was the film that definitetly showed that Nicole Kidman was a force to be reckoned with!!!!! The set design, costumes, choreograophy, acting are all superb and even the ingenious use of Australian icons (try and spot Kylie Monogue) in early 19th century Paris is...

Review of Moulin Rouge (Special Edition) (DVD)

Cafe Rouge - take it or leave it

Advantages: Nice atmosphere, good location
Disadvantages: Average food, pricey

...For my first visit to Cafe Roug, my wife said we should go to the Salford Quays outlet. So, with Tesco vouchers in hand, we made our way there last Saturday. We were early enough to not have to book and got a nice central table. The service was quick and sort of friendly. I am prepared to stand corrected on this one, we were both unconvinced that, despite their French accents, the majority of staff are no more French than myself. The menu is varied although if you are a strict vegetarian, who does not eat fish, you will be stumped apart from one dish. I wouldn't say there was a huge choice but it is ample with four or five options within the main categories of fish, salad and steaks. We started with drinks that were quite expensive in my opinion - £2.70 for a fresh orange and £5.70 for a medium sized glass of wine. Foodwise, I...

Review of Café Rouge

Cafe Rouge - Well I Definitely Didn't See Red

Advantages: Nice Decor, Good Menu, Great Staff, Decent Price
Disadvantages: Not Particularly Disabled Friendly In Winter, ASlightly Out Of The Way

...After a tough day's shopping with my beautiful girlfriend we found ourselves at Blue Rinse just by the Corn Exchange having entirely missed lunch due to the rigours of finding jumper dresses in this seasons new collections. After a couple of minutes discussion we decided that we would try Cafe Rouge, since I had been to the one in St John's Wood in London some years before and it was pretty good. We were greeted immediately by a smiling waitress who asked where we would like to sit and offered us the choice of a pair of tables. We chose one in a quiet little corner as she followed us down with the menus. She immediately informed us of the changes in the menu and the dishes that weren't available, rather than waiting for a semi-apologetic 16 year old who doesn't really care to come back after we ordered to tell us that they'd run...
