Off the Wall-E!

Advantages: Clever animation
Disadvantages: None

...Most of the mums and dads out there will have enjoyed the recent serge of cartoons that make kids feel like adults or the ones that make adults feel like kids, stuffed full of in-jokes for the grown ups like the family are with popcorn (the worlds biggest mark-up on a food snack!) in the cinemas, a great way to get the whole family into those multiplexes as they gulp their bumper Cokes and the money roles in. But with WALL- E we have the first real carton aimed at adults that the kids can watch too, if they are well-behaved, politically aware pixel animation definitely the future. It really is a smart commercial more by Pixel and a really clever little flick to-boot that they have come up with here, comfortably one of the best films of the year, one you can watch over and over again. I don't normally fall for the hype that the likes...

The Walls of Time

Advantages: Stunning views, good exercise
Disadvantages: A long, long way up

...Kotor is a beautiful little town on the Montenegro coast. It's a natural harbour and is a real jewel of the Adriatic. I'm going to write another review about the town - this one is about one the main attractions of Kotor - its City Walls. When we arrived in the town we looked up from the hustle and bustle of the medieval cobbled streets lined with busy bars and gazed at the walls which creep up the mountainside, apparently disappearing into oblivion. Montenegro means "Black Mountain", and wherever you stand on the coast, the skyline is dominated by the gloom of the mountains just beyond the town. We contemplated the climb - the heat was intense in the middle of the day - pushing 35 or 36 degreed Celsius, and it looked a long, long way up. The walls snake along as far as the eye can see, and you can just make out the colourful little...

Wall-E Review

Advantages: Everything!
Disadvantages: I can't think of anything

...Wall-E is a story about a little refuse collecting robot who has been left to clean up the mess we humans have left behind after we fled the earth. Wall-E is all alone on earth except for a pet cockroach. It's when EVE comes to earth that story picks up. EVE is a sleek (and dangerous) reconnaissance robot, sent to earth to find proof that life is once again sustainable. WALL-E falls in love with Eve and so when she leaves on a massive ship he hitches along and learns more than he could ever imagine. I'm gonna say straight off that I love this film, it seems that Pixar can do no wrong and with Wall-E they have created one the cutest, most loveable characters ever seen on screen. As Wall-E doesn't talk there are long periods with no dialogue but this is never boring and you're so thoroughly entertained you'll wonder where the time went...

Disney Pixar raise the bar again with Wall-E

Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: Nothing

...I am sure I am not alone in being a parent of a child who has begged me to take him to watch Wall-E at the cinema since the film first started being advertised a few months ago. Disney Pixar's latest wonderful collaboration had my son hooked from the first ad on TV. He laughed his head off and I thought, 'How could I deny that?!' So, last week, with rubbish British Summer weather, we headed off to our local cinema for pick'n'mix and some Disney magic. The Plot Wall-E is set in a future where the world has changed. The company Buy'N'Large has monopolised the world and turned it into a rubbish site, with piles off rubbish littering its entirety. The human race has long since discovered space travel and made the trip into space on a huge space boat to live until Earth is suitable for a return. Back on Earth, we meet Wall-E, a robot...

Meet Wall E.......

Advantages: Fun and entertaining for the whole family
Disadvantages: None

...My wife really wanted to go and see this recently at the cinema using our unlimited card - I was a bit reluctant as the trailers didn't show it to be all that great and I had heard a rumour that there was supposed to be no talking in it what so ever! This had also put me off slightly but considering that we didn't have to technically pay to see it and if we didn't like it we could just go and see another film a little bit later I agreed to give it a shot! The plot - Wall E is a robot that was created to clear up rubbish in the world created by the huge corporation 'Buy N Large' - along with the rest of the robots created the idea was for them to clear the junk that humans have ended up covering the Earth's surface with. There was a massive space ship created to enable all humans to live with all the latest gadgets and gizmos out in...

Bring on the wall!

Advantages: Funny, original, gets better after first episode.
Disadvantages: Compare it to the other versions!

...Hole In The Wall has to be Britain's craziest game show! But is it a clear, or a fail? Hole In The Wall is a Japanese idea. In Japan, they call it "Brain Wall," or as people on YouTube (a video-sharing website) call it, "Human Tetris." A polystyrene wall with an oddly shaped hole in it, tries to knock celebrities into a pool of cold, cold water. The celebs also have to dress up in skin-tight lycra and put a helmet on their head! Dale Winton hosts the show, with Anton Du Bake and Darren Gough as team captains, (Anton, red team. Darren, blue team) and then you have the celebrities. Solo Wall - There are 3 celebs on each team, 2 celebs and the team captain. The non-captain celebs make their way to the play area one by one, they do it solo. Captains Challenge - The captains get a harder wall or an item to hold, or they must to...

Review of BBC1 - Hole in the Wall

Bring on the wall!!

Advantages: Entertaining
Disadvantages: Repetitive

...Hole in the wall is a lighthearted gameshow hosted by Dale Winton, and first aired on BBC1 in September 2008 spanned 10 30 minute episodes making up series 1. The Teams --------- The gameshow is made up of 2 teams of 3 celbrities captained by Anton du Beke (Strictly come dancing) and Darren Gough (Former international cricketer). During series 1, their celebrity teammates have included the likes of Vic Reeves, Phil Tuffnell, Nell McAndrew, Nancy Lamb, Vanessa Feltz (who felt the need to appear twice on the show) & others. The Aim of the Game -------------------- The aim of the game is quite simply as the title suggest for contestants to fit through the 'hole in the wall'. The wall comes in the form of polystyrene hurtling towards them, and the hole comes in the form of various shapes and sizes (usually depicting unnatural...

Pre-Trill Paul Wall

Advantages: A few big tunes
Disadvantages: Lots of weak tracks

...Although it wasn't until the year later when his commercial debut was released the Houston rapper Paul Wall released his independent solo debut in 2004 with "Chick Magnet" after collaborating with many of the key artists from H-Town and the Texas state. 1. "They Don't Know" Found later on "The People's Champ" this one has him just killing it as he gets Grid Iron and Michael'5000' Watts to compose a track which has him sampling some H-Town classics from the likes of Lil' Keke, Fat Pat, and UGK (from nearby Port Arthur) and you here that Mike Jones (rather than Bun B, who is on the remix) joins him as they show us what H-Town is about. **Five Stars** 2. "Dat's What Dat Is" Moving things on a little you actually get UGK's Bun B working with Paul Wall on this one and after kicking the track off and just throwing out some very...

Review of Chick Magnet - Paul Wall

Wall-E, fun...for a while.

Advantages: A nice toy with limited longevity.
Disadvantages: A bit samey after a while.

...One of the many, many stocking filler presents that my son received from his nan this, or should I say, last Christmas, Is the toy I will now review. The toy I will now review is - ?Transforming WALL.E?. This toy, as nice as it is, has a very limited shelf life due to the very few things it can actually do. Based on the original concept of the Transformers, think the 80?s!, this particular toy has two show modes in total?? WALL.E the robot and a cube. You purchase the toy in robot mode, but there are clear ?transforming? instructions printed on the back of the packaging along with pictures for every stage, a bonus I feel due to the toy not being difficult as such to transform, but needing a little finesse to achieve it. There are four moving and transforming parts in total, well four if you class the eye?s as one part...
