The Niagra of St Vincent

Advantages: Very picturesque, nice plunge pool to swim in, plenty of diving in points
Disadvantages: Not as big or impressive as I was expecting

...The Falls of Baleine are located on the North West side of St Vincent and can only be reached by boat, therefore for tourists that don?t know anyone on the island the only way to get there is to go on an organised tour. A lack of tourists on the island will mean that getting a tour is not as easy as it is in other holiday destinations, where you are touted everywhere. In St Vincent it is the tourist that has to do all the hard work and actively seek out excursions because the tour operators/locals will not come to you. Whilst you will pay for the boat trip to the falls, entry is absolutely free and other than any other tourists that may be present you will be on your own. We managed to catch a boat from India Bay and the trip to the falls took around thirty five minutes. Given the size of St Vincent the trip to the falls will be...

Review of Falls of Baleine, St. Vincent

A Caribbean experience in St Vincent

Advantages: Cheap, gorgeous scenery, fantastic beaches, nice locals
Disadvantages: Few resorts, you need to know a local

...St. Vincent and the Grenadines (?SVG?) is located in the Windward Islands at the lower end of the Caribbean chain. SVG is situated between Grenada 75 miles to the south, St. Lucia 24 miles to the north and Barbados 150 miles to the east. SVG has a tropical climate that is influenced by the North East trade winds, resulting in a minimum temperature of around 28 degrees centigrade, and boy does it get hot in the summer months. St Vincent is often referred to as the ?Jewel of the Caribbean? and once you get on the island and do a bit of exploring it is easy to see why. Tourism Tourism obviously brings in money and this is something that the Government are actively trying to grow. Whilst there is some tourist activity in St Vincent, there is not that much compared to other Caribbean Islands. On one hand this is nice since...

Review of General: St Vincent and the Grenadines

Hauntingly Good...

Advantages: Interesting films, Vincent Price is great to watch
Disadvantages: Poor quality

...With my 40th birthday coming up, I was given some money, which I chose to spend on buying some classic films on DVD from Amazon UK. On one of the film yahoogroups I am on, we recently discussed how good old horror movies were and I remembered especially liking two Vincent Price films ? The Fly and House of Wax. This led to my searching for his movies on Amazon and I ended up purchasing The Vincent Price Collection for £4.98. The boxset comprises three films ? House on Haunted Hill (1959), The Bat (1959) and Shock (1946). All three are black and white films which look as if they?ve just been recorded off the telly! The quality is not as good as I would have hoped for, but if they had been remastered, they wouldn?t have been so cheap, I suppose. Anyway, they are certainly watchable and I enjoyed each one. Vincent Price had a long...

FREE DVDs

Advantages: Free trial, large choice, post included,new realeases
Disadvantages: see review

...I like movies and I like freebies, so when you get offered both in one swoop you?re bound to accept! I used my two week free trial with this company and remained with them for a couple of monthsbefore moving on to try many other companies free trials (and winning a new DVD player on Tesco DVD rental site on their free trial offer). I then had an email from DVDs 365 asking me to go back, and offering me a free DVD if I did so. I had just left Tesco (with my new DVD player) so I chose to go back with them. ∆◊◊ THE SERVICE THEY OFFER ∆◊◊ Basically it?s like going to a video shop and hiring films on DVD, except you don?t pay for each film you chose ? rather a monthly fee for which you can watch as many movies as you can fit in, for us this is usually around 8 a month (2 a week usually weekends...

Surprising Picture Quality - Panasonic DVD-S54

Advantages: Incredible picture quality when compared to my old non-upscaling player with a scart lead
Disadvantages: Sometimes disc drive can be really noisy when DVD's initially load.

...At first I wasn't convinced by up-scaling DVD player technology but was persuaded after reading an article in "What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision" magazine. Unable to afford a Blu-Ray player my sister and I bought the Panasonic DVD-S54 to match our parents brand new Panasonic TX-32LZD80 LCD television as their Christmas 2008 present. Admittedly it was a slightly selfish purchase as we both live at home and wanted to watch DVDs on the big new TV ourselves! We bought the player from the electrical retailer Comet for about £100 just before Christmas so there were no discounts applied. On Christmas day when opened we found a relatively small box tightly packed with the player in polystyrene packaging. All the components such as cables, remote and manuals were well presented in their own protective plastic bags, to keep them protected. The player...

Review of Panasonic DVD-S54

Yikes, it's Vincent Price!

Advantages: Very scary!
Disadvantages: Probably not very historically accurate

...Vincent Price must be one of the scariest actors ever to have lived (he also went on to become a writer of cook books - check that fact, it's true!) and no more so than in this film where he plays Matthew Hopkins the infamous "Witch Finder General" of the 1600s. The movie is based on a novel, rather than a real biography so don't expect to learn a great deal of facts from it about the real Matthew Hopkins, even if the voice over at the start makes it sound very authoritative. Hopkins here is in his late 50s (and of course has a USA accent!) and is a greedy lawyer, motivated by sex and money and he probably doesn't even believe in witches. The real Matthew Hopkins was in his 20s and was the son of a Puritan clergyman. He was probably driven by a sincere belief that the Devil was at work and that witches were real (something not...

Review of Witchfinder General (DVD)

Vincent Bang Go

Advantages: The back drop of LA at its best at night-time and dialogue scripts
Disadvantages: 120 minutes flew by

...Vincent Bang Go Director Michael Mann Run Time 120 mins Cert 15 Year 2004 'This is a collision of two lives? All collapsed in the events of one night? ' """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" Michael Mann explored the night scenes to limit with this epic. Unquestionably riveting from the off; the scenes fill the air with night-time shifty-ness and blatant testosterone overload. Mann made it artistic, chic to the bone; an exploration of circumstances that catapult lives together, thrown to the mercy of fate. -- -- There is a genre that Mann certainly can nail and that is ?crime? ?suspense? and I?m going to add artistic flair to the trio. Jamie Foxx with two exs, that?s not a typo. Foxx got an award for his role as ?Max? the cabbie; a dreamer...

Review of Collateral (DVD)

The Price is cheap -----------real cheap!

Advantages: Shes nearly finished!
Disadvantages: Chav hag

...and exhibit her body to make money to pay for the kids but I suspect most people don't think that is an acceptable lifestyle to care for a child in high care. Jordan doesn't make her fortune from her looks and sex appeal but her notoriety. She has to be out and contradicting the life of a responsible mother, her alta ego Katie Price, to make her millions. This sells advertising space in lifestyle magazine and the tabloids. Is it any wonder we create 17,000 single teen moms a year if these kids think her lifestyle is real? Of late Jordan has tried to distance herself from the busty 'chav hag' by claiming to be her alta ego Katie Price, her real name, and the name she sells her books under. The silicone incubator test lab is apparently not the real Katie Price, according to Price. She feels she has the right to distance herself from her hideous...

Review of Katie Price

DVDs at Video Prices... U...

Advantages: Bargain DVDs and quick delivery.
Disadvantages: none

...I recently received an e-mail from DVD Plus informing me that they were back open for business again. About three or so months ago they had to shut down, obviously owned by a new company they have re-opened. It has been such a long time since I have been on the website that I can’t tell if it has been updated or improved. Anyway it is good that they are open, as from what I can remember the DVDs that they sell were around £4 to £5 cheaper than say in HMV or Virgin. ~~The Website~~ The design of the homepage is quite standard for this type of website, in the top left corner is their logo and along the top is their options bar with the following options; About DVD, Find a Film, What’s New, Your Account, Help and About Us. About DVD - This section basically explains what DVD is and why they think that it is the format...

Who Is Katie Price?

Advantages: Enjoyable and interesting to read
Disadvantages: None

...Whether you love her or hate her you have to give Katie price due credit. Her sexy alter ego 'Jordan' has become a worldwide name and she is well known for getting exactly what she wants and not holding back on anything. But is she really as carefree and as forward as she makes herself out to be? Being Jordan reveals the truth behind the lies and who Katie price really is. *** My Opinion On... *** Here you will find my opinion on every aspect of the book from the way it is written, how many secrets are revealed and what I now think after reading it, just to give you the best idea of how much you think you'll enjoy it. 1) The Way It Is Written. The book is separated into 34 chapters. Some are only a couple of pages long whereas others are a little bigger. I liked the layout because it was easy to read and work my way...
