The volcano Nea Kameni really is a holiday hot spot.

Advantages: walking on a volcano is a once in a life time experience
Disadvantages: walking on a volcano is very hot and tiring.

...Santorini is a volcanic island, this is what makes Santorini different from most other Greek islands. The volcano that is now a tourist attraction as well as a site of scientific interest has with each eruption shaped the landscape of the island. Cruise ship sail into the caldera; so that the passengers can marvel at the dramatic rock formations that have been formed there and so that the cruise liners guests can visit Ia (Oia).

Review of Santorini volcano, Santorini

The volcano is hot, the film is not

Advantages: Good special effects
Disadvantages: Lack of characterisation, not enough human emotion

...The 1990s bought us a glut of disaster movies, each with great special effects, although some were definately better than others. We were treated to the action packed but absurd Armageddon, the thoughtful and emotional Deep Impact, as well as the sizzling Dante's Peak, which is similar to Volcano in every respect, except that Pierce Brosnan is in the lead role and not Tommy Lee Jones. Volcano isn't that terrible, but it definately doesn't class as one of the great disaster movies, even if it does contain some well cheoreographed action sequences and a solid (but not great) performance from Jones. This is definately Tommy Lee Jones's territory, allowing him to run around and save the day, as well as fix the troubled relationship with his daughter. Although the material doesn't stretch Jones's acting ability, he does a good job all...

Advantages: works as promised
Disadvantages: the smell

Review of Lush Volcano Foot Mask

For a realy HOT date......

Advantages: Entertainmant
Disadvantages: Not enough of a story

...Did you ever get the feeling that you have been this way before? I have just sat and watched the film 'Volcano' made in 1997 and staring Tommy Lee Jones. And I have to say that it is familiar to me. Why I will say later. O. K. Plot synopsis time. It is a normal (?) day in Los Angeles. People are going about their daily lives, Protesting, getting shot, driving all sorts of cars. There is a small earthquake and a minor disaster involving loss of life. Scientists are not happy, Construction chiefs are not happy, Police chiefs are not happy, Disaster Chief (Jones) is not happy. In other words everything is normal. Then the real fun starts the next day with a full scale volcanic eruption. Tommy Lee must somehow save the day and the city, including his own daughter and a small child. This is an action/adventure film. There are many...

Review of Volcano (DVD)

New Yorks got more than a Big Apple now.....

Advantages: Excellent special effects
Disadvantages: storyline does lack intensity at times

...Volcano. (Film Only Review). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Plot. Problems start to occur in downtown Los Angeles when several large tremors hit, but these are no ordinary earth tremors that Los Angeles is accustomed to, they are advanced warnings of what is about to show itself. The Summary. FEMA Director Mark Roark (Tommy Lee Jones) is finally getting a well earned vacation and spending some quality time with his daughter Kelly (Gaby Hoffman) since his marriage breakdown. Suddenly Los Angeles is hit by a large tremor and FEMA are sent into action. Although he starts to investigate, he is told to stop as he is on vacation but not before Dr. Amy Barnes (Anne Heche) of what she believes does warn him is causing it. He does not believe what she tells him and goes back home to his...

Review of Volcano (DVD)

It blew up on itself

Advantages: Reasonable special effects, Tommy Lee Jones
Disadvantages: Weak plot, poor characters

...the river of lava and all the destruction. This could have been a semi decent disaster movie, but unfortunately it relies on the special effects to try and keep you entertained. The storyline is weak and totally unbelievable as the actual possibility of a Volcano forming in Los Angeles is impossible due to the geographical location. The main star of the film is Tommy Lee Jones, who plays a stereo typical hero who has to save the day, even though no one would listen to him. You can't blame Jones for this performance as the character doesn't have any history or real depth of character. Accompanying him is Anne Heche who is not believable as someone with a knowledge of geology especially volcanoes. The supporting cast are there and do a job but don't really stand out. The film is directed by Mick Jackson (The Bodyguard) and although he hasn...

Review of Volcano (DVD)

A Volcano in the Bath!

Advantages: Completely dissolves leaving the bath smelling wonderful
Disadvantages: Far too expensive for one bath

...a large bath bomb that had a very firm texture, not at all crumbly. The bottom three quarters section of the bath bomb was a deep pink shade with the top quarter being a deep lilac shade. Positioned in the top centre of the bomb was a pretty pink rice paper rose. On removing the Sex Bomb from the paper bag I was greeted with the strong floral scents of Jasmine and Ylang Ylang. A beautiful soothing scent, which I was looking forward to bathing in! I first filled the bath with steamy warm water, just before entering the bath I first had to call my daughter who loves to watch the bath bomb melting! I placed the Sex Bomb in the water, it floated to the top and immediately started to slowly dissolve creating a mass of fizzy foamy water, which my daughter described as a volcano in the bath! It took the bomb approximately 3 minutes to...

Review of Lush Bath Ballistic Sex Bomb

Lava lava everywhere and not a drop to drink

Advantages: Good effects
Disadvantages: Weak story, terrible characters

...We've had tornadoes, we've had earthquakes, and now we have (another) volcano movie. Unlike Dante's Peak though we're switching the action to downtown LA. This switch of location aside though, this is strictly a by the numbers film that is about as predictable as Norman Wisdom walking past a swimming pool. Tommy Lee Jones is the man here. He's the man with the power and the only man with any acting ability - the rest of the cast is incredibly wooden. Story wise there's not much to say: a volcano appears in Los Angeles and err, that's it. We have all the usual cliche's, characters, and events and if it wasn't for the effects then this would be a total disaster. The effects are pretty good (despite a hideous CGI building) but the creators don't use them consistanty (at one point the lava is melting things, the next shot people are...

Review of Volcano (DVD)

My feet are on fire!!!

Advantages: Cools and soothes the feet.
Disadvantages: The price - but thats usual for Lush!

...should go with Volcano. But this is for smelly feet I said, however she explained that apart from curing the smell issue it also soothes and moisturizes dry feet. I was convinced and bought myself a little black tub. Volcano can be a bit of a nuisance to apply, unless you are like me and have someone else (boyfriend I mean) apply it while you sit waiting and ready with a sheet of cling film in your clean hands to wrap your coated feet in. And you'll want to have a pair of socks on hand as well, to keep the plastic in place as you walk about, rather than allowing the mask to simply squish around, resulting in uneven coverage. But that's just how good foot masks are and there's really no way to get around it. Besides, in my opinion, not enough cosmetics companies offer foot masks, forcing us to go to salons where we have to needlessly pay...

Review of Lush Volcano Foot Mask

  Notes from a Big Island

Advantages: Stunning, unique scenery, Excellent value for money, Be amazed by nature
Disadvantages: Madame Pele may not put on a lava show for you!

...at least a day trip to the Big Island - easily possible and relatively inexpensive on one of Hawaii's budget airlines - is highly recommended as a way to help experience the complexity of these islands and to really understand that each one is distinctive. Despite the wide selection of adventurous activities available on Big Island, the key reason for visiting it for me was the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. The United States has many National Parks that you can justifiably describe as "spectacular": Yosemite, Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon would all easily fall into this category. The Hawaii Volcanoes National Park offers something a bit more, however. As well as being spectacular, it offers nothing less than the miracle of creation as a daily attraction; Big Island is an incomplete island and evolving landscape, with 230 hectares...
