Behind Enemy Lines

Advantages: Entertaining the whole way through
Disadvantages: Slightly on the budget side

...Last night Behind enemy lines was on Film Four and I thought I?d give it ago, I had never heard of the film before and so did not know what to expect, I always give the info on the TV a read before getting into a new film as unfortunately I am one of the Biased people of the world who find a film more worth trying if it has good actors and a good synopsis. Judging a book by its cover and all that (slap on the wrists). First impressions Before the film had started I had my doubts, the cast of actors includes Owen Wilson, and after seeing more than a fair share of his films, I was doubtful to whether he could pull off what was being described on the TV info as an ?action/thriller? I have never seen him in a serious role and although this gave doubts it also intrigued me into seeing the film and made me want to see if he would fail...

Review of Behind Enemy Lines (DVD)

For a happy walk!

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: see review

...My 2 year old setter is still a work in progress as far as training goes. We have done the rounds of puppy and dog training and have the certificates to prove it! However he is still not reliable at coming back when called. Having a tasty treat in my pocket certainly helps to persuade him to return to me, his so called pack leader! In Tesco recently I spotted a plastic container of Bakers happy walks on sale. As they were on offer for under £1 I decided to buy a box. Bakers happy walks come in a white plastic flip top container. They are the perfect size to fit in a pocket. On pulling back the foil seal I was struck by the very strong smell! It wasn?t unpleasant just a very powerful meaty smell, the kind my dog loves! Each treat looks like a very small roll about the size of a cigarette stub. Inside the roll is a darker layer of meat...

  'Walking in the rain...'

Advantages: A superb introduction to the Emerald Isle's walking possibilities...
Disadvantages: ...so long as you've been previously introduced to walking in the first place

...feel a sense of intimacy. I had a few coffee table compilation books covering the whole British Isles (and therefore possessing Irish sections), but these were books whose gloriously enticing photos and slightly limited route selections were unfortunately wrapped up in rucksack-unfriendly dimensions. I did also have a casually acquired copy of Paddy Dillon's corkingly idiosyncratic 'The Mountains Of Ireland', with its rubbish diagrams and 'interesting' peak criteria (sod maths, if Paddy liked the look of it it was in). Basically, nothing entirely satisfactory. (Later on, I acquired Lonely Planet's guide to Irish walking too, because a man can never have too many guidebooks to pore over while otherwise engaged in the smallest room in the house: a good selection, but cluttered with too much extraneous information and containing at least one...

Review of Best Irish Walks - Joss Lynam

Walking on air!

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: see review

...Many years ago on a holiday to the Isle of Skye I discovered I had forgotten to pack my walking boots! A trip to the Island outdoor shop was necessary and after trying on several different makes I finally opted for a pair of Merrell walking shoes. Fast forward almost a decade and I can honestly say these were the best pair of shoes I have ever bought. Sadly after walking many miles my shoes had started to show their age! A few months ago I decided it was time to buy a new pair. Having had such a positive experience with Merrell I knew I wanted to stick with the brand. A trip to my local Milletts revealed a few styles in the Merrell range. I have fairly skinny ankles and so find that high walking boots tend to rub my ankle bone. For this reason I wanted a trainer like walking shoe. I didn?t want anything to heavy either .The Merrell...

Walk away!

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Complete rip off of several movies

...Let your script writer watch First Blood, Jackass then some WWE and this is what happens. You get Walking Tall. A corrupt town, a corrupt Sheriff and a few people with some morals that just aren't going to stand for it any more. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson isn't much of an actor. He tries very hard but fails to act. He can fight, raise his eyebrow and smile real pretty for the camera but i've seen dogs act better than him. The fight scenes are pretty well done but I thought he'd appear to be a better fighter as a former Special Forces guy. Is it ever actually mentioned WHICH Special Forces unit he serves in? Yes, you do see a pendant but it isn't very helpful. Johnny Knoxville, he's awful. Can someone please shoot him? Save us from his attempts to be funny, act or try to be a stuntman. Go away Mr Knoxville. These 2 guys become the law...

A Walk on the Wild Side

Advantages: Enjoyable romp through the Appalachian wilderness
Disadvantages: None

..."Not long after I moved with my family to a small town in New Hampshire, I happened upon a path that vanished into a wood on the edge of town." The previous paragraph is the first step in Bill Bryson's description of his journey hiking the Appalachian Trail as chronicled in his book, A Walk in the Woods. The Appalachian National Scenic Trail is the longest continuous marked footpath in the World, and stretches from Katahdin in Maine to Springer Mountain in Georgia - or vice versa. It passes through some of the most interesting and scenic landscapes of the Eastern USA, wandering the ridges and valleys of the Appalachian mountain ranges for more than 2,150 miles - the actual distance is dependent on whose figures you use! At the age of 44, following his return to his native land after 20-odd years in the UK, Bryson decided to...

Review of A Walk in the Woods - Bill Bryson

Walk With Jamelia

Advantages: Upbeat catchy songs
Disadvantages: A few fillers

...After being disappointed with Jamelia's second album 'Thank You' I didn't think 'Walk With Me' would be anything special. After reading an article in the paper stating that 'Walk With Me' was her best yet I was curious and had to get it based on that. I thought that if I didn't like it then I could always sell it on eBay. Her debut album 'Drama' I really enjoyed although it wasn't a big seller. Since 'Drama' was released in 2000 she has come a long way and has had several hits including Sam Browns cover Stop! for the Bridget Jones Diary: The Edge Of Reason soundtrack. 'Drama' was predominantly RnB, which is why I liked it and 'Thank You' saw her coming back after 3 years after the birth of her baby girl with the hits Superstar and Thank You. Sadly the rest of the album had nothing that stood out and contained nothing but fillers. My...

Review of Walk With Me - Jamelia

A WALK TO REMEMBER

Advantages: dvd features commentary by actors, nicholas sparks, etc
Disadvantages: nothing

...Information: Year 2002 Taglines: It all comes down to who?s by your side/ She didn?t belong, She was misunderstood, and she would change him forever. Spoken Languages: English, French (dubbed in Québec) Subtitles: English, Spanish, French Audio: Dolby Digital Ratings: Rated PG-13 for thematic elements, language and some sensual material. THIS CONTAINS SPOILERS!!! A Walk to Remember remains my all time favorite movie. Sure the plot holds a common thematic element to many other movies- the perfect couple who gets separated by death. Sure it is a typical cliché in many love stories: The cool guy and the nerdish girl start going out. But what, according to me really really differentiates this movie from any other movie is the pure undiluted charm and chemistry between the actors. Portrayed by Shane West and Mandy...

Review of A Walk To Remember (DVD)

walk, run, jump, skip, boogie!

Advantages: helps gets me motivated and son thinks it's fun
Disadvantages: see review ...

...I had this on my list of things I'd like for my birthday and my lovely other half went out and bought it for me. I've had a quick internet search so I can tell you the retail price and it can be found for about £35. It's now 10 months since having our second child and there's a bit of baby weight yet to go away so that is why I was after this product. One of my weight loss plans is to do more walking and I'd hoped this would help. In basic terms it's a pedometer that you link to you Nintendo DS at the end of the day to see how many steps you've taken and how active you were throughout the day. Your steps and activity is broken down into the hours of the day and you are compared to an animal in terms of activity ... I am currently a daytime active, galloping horse! Better then the busy ant I was at the start! My son seems to want...

Review of Walk with Me! (Nintendo DS)

Walk this Way

Advantages: Great performances, good direction and a strong script
Disadvantages: Subtitled epilogue

...-tonk, rockabilly and gospel. In conjunction with Cash's own music from "Folsom Prison Blues" to "Ring of Fire", it makes for a toe-tapping soundtrack that is more diverse than you might expect, with numbers from Jerry Lee Lewis, Ryo Orbison and Bob Dylan. Costume designer Arianne Phillips deserves praise for her impeccable recreations of fashions from the 1950s and 1960s. She marries form and function, giving simple fabrics a sort of glamour by their sharp cuts. So women look stylish and men look smart. "Walk the Line" is a good biographical movie that doesn't get bogged down in sentiment or unnecessary detail. It focuses on Cash's abiding passion for the woman that would one day become his wife and the way she tries to save him from himself. It is an absorbing two and a quarter hours that will appeal to more than a country-and-western fan...
