Benji The Hunted (DVD)

The Hunted

Advantages: Tommy Lee Jones
Disadvantages: Weak Plot

I like Tommy Lee Jones, I always find his wholehearted grizzled performances quite refreshing amongst all the shiny Hollywood glamour we're sometimes served up without end, that said I don't think even his most ardent fans could call "Hunted" anything but more than average. Jones plays L.T. Bonham a military forces contractor who trains Special Forces in areas of survival training, tracking and hunting. One of his students, Aaron Hallam, who apart from having excelled at everything Bonham has taught him, has now gone slightly off the rails having been subjected to horrific events whilst serving his country in the Balkans conflict. Hallam has taken to hunting down game hunters in the wild American forests and dispatching his victims with some very nifty knife work. The FBI agents tracking Hallam down decide to recruit Bonham and put ...

Review of The Hunted (DVD)

Pret vs Benjys -PART 2-

Advantages: Value, choice, hot food
Disadvantages: Inferior in terms of class compared with Pret, inferior beverages, condensation inside packaging

This is part 2 of a series of two opinions on “Prêt A Manger” (PaM) and “Benjys”. This part of the Series will look at Benjys, a chain of take-away restaurants in the West End. So far we have seen that PaM is a more upmarket place, I shall now look at Benjys with the same criteria as the ones I looked at PaM with in the other opinion. -Appearance of restaurant- The emphasis here is on efficiency and space, once you are near the door, there is no odour or scent like Prêt, but there is a smell of oil. There is a lot of space so that customers basically do not bump into each other and the queues for the cash tills are as long as possible. The décor is basically “bog standard” (I like to be current and controversial) a general grey feeling to it. At one end of the shop is basically a “hot food ...

Review of Benjy's

Benjy's - come a long way

Advantages: Improving food, good range, smart card option, charity donations
Disadvantages: Still not as good as Pret

When I first wrote this, I didn't realise that Benjy's was not a household name - I apologise. Benjy's is a chain of sandwich bars. They usually don't offer sit-down options the way Pret a Manger does, it is strictly take away only. Benjy's seem to be on every second corner in London, but clearly not everywhere else! I have just checked their website, and it is true they only have outlets in London, although they seem to have over 60 branches here. Their website says they are also now based in Birmingham. They are clearly developing their business fairly rapidly at the moment, so maybe they are going to branch out soon! I first visited Benjy's 2 or 3 years ago, and was not particularly impressed. The sandwiches were very cheap - under a pound in some cases, but the range was extremely limited, particularly if you want brown ...
