Cliff Richard - Live - Here And Now (DVD)

Calling all Cliff Richard Fans.

Advantages: lovely christmassy songs
Disadvantages: he has re mixed a lot of them

is expected to a be a traditional song. 11) Santas list, this is Cliffs new song for this year and the words are as ever brilliant. 12) When a child is born, this 70s song always remind me of its orginal singer and I do not think that anyone can touch old Johnny Mathis. 13) Come to us, another song that has been edited and dubbed and music added. 14) The Christmas song, By nearly getting to the end of this cd, I am now finding that all the new songs are beginning to sound the same, sorry Cliff. 15) We should be together, a bit of a slow one and the title tells you all. 16) Winter wonderland, Walking in a Woollies Winterland, whoops I mean Winter Wonderland. Brilliant song, not as fast as the original but good. 17) The millennium prayer, this is the one that started all the controvesy off a couple of years ago ...

Monopoly - Here & Now: The World Edition

Advantages: Fantastic family game; electronic gameplay makes it easier
Disadvantages: Not enough houses & hotels

INTRODUCTION I absolutely love Monopoly and had always played the game with the paper notes (the traditional way!) and had owned the game for years. A year or so ago, a cousin of mine bought a newer edition of the game, with an electronic digital banking device and credit cards rather than the paper notes, and I absolutely loved playing it this much easier way. But I had forgotten about it until my girlfriend and I spotted 'Monopoly - Here & Now: The World Edition' in our local TESCO supermarket, at an introductory price of around £25. We both enjoyed playing the traditional Monopoly, but when I told her how good the electronic version was, she was excited about trying it, so I bought it and we took it home to play straight away. HOW IS IT DIFFERENT TO THE ORIGINAL MONOPOLY? Well, for a start, HASBRO ...

Paradise Now on DVD

Advantages: Superb acting; low key realism; Lack of prejudice
Disadvantages: None (unless you hate reading subtitles)

Every now and then a movie will sneak up and catch you by surprise. So it was for me with Paradise Now, a film I knew nothing about, other than a website blurb about two potential suicide bombers. Co-written and directed by Hany Abu-Assad this is a story set within the West bank in Palestine, with two friends, Said and Khaled, being offered their chance of martyrdom (hence 'Paradise Now') by carrying out a suicide mission in Tel Aviv. Both the men react to the invitation with a mixture of relief, confusion and elation, though it is Khaled who seems the happiest to grab the chance. Said is more thoughtful, altogether darker, about the whole affair. But they are both ready, and then readied after a blackly comic filming of their martyr speeches, as they have their hair shaved short, and bears shaved off, to make them look more ...
