there first. With a pithy and matter-of-fact writing style, these guides are guaranteed to calm the nerves of first-time world travellers, while still listing off-the-beaten-path finds sure to thrill even the most jaded globe-trotters. Lonely Planet has been perfecting its guidebooks for nearly 30 years and as a result, has experience and know-how similar to an older sibling's "been there" advice. The original backpacker's bible, the LP series has recently widened its reach. While still giving insights for the low-budget traveller, the books now list a wide range of accommodations and itineraries for those with less time than money. Journey north with Lonely Planet and discover wonders for travellers of any budget. LP's Iceland, Greenland and Faroe Islands contains more than 100 maps; details on food and accommodations; advice on trekking routes and organised tours; notes on Arctic phenomena, flora and fauna; extensive transportation details; and useful arts and culture sections. The author's intriguing sidebars range from pieces on puffin release and wild island cuisine to plutonium peril in Pituffik. --Kathryn True

Advantages: cute characters, good story, good songs too Disadvantages: is one in a series, ali isn't all that hot
Another classic film, the fith installement, to be correct, from ''the land before time'' series.
Which of course, started off as one movie, but was then made into several thousnad more in a dire attempt to milk every penny out of a brillant masterpiece. Pretty much, a bit like James Bond or star wars, except these dinosaurs lack lightsabers and don't drink bizarrely named drinks that have to be prepared on the top of washing machines.
By now, from having read (that is if you have) my other reviews you'll know I LOVE the old school films, especially of the cartoon variety, especailly the ever so cute Care Bears, My Little Pony, Biker Mice from Mars, Count Duckula, The Land Before Time, Poddington Peas, the smurfs and many, many others which don't get much attention today.

The Film
~~~~~~~
Set in the year 2100, this film starts by showing us that the earth's population (or the population of the United States) are now living underground in a sterile environment following a massive pollution of earth's atmosphere ...
Advantages: great visuals Disadvantages: no original ideas
All the ideas of this film are taken from other places. The whole one story which we think is right and actually turns out to be the total opposite is taken from The Running Man. The whole being chased, once again The Running Man & Blade Runner, also Logan's Run.
Establishing that there has been some sort of pollution and people can't go outside apart from one place on Earth known as The Island is the first 20 minutes or so of the film. We learn about their lifestyle and characters, learn a little about The Island. You get there by winning the lottery. Everyone dressing the same and looking the same and not knowing anything about sex? Directly lifted from George Lucas' THX 1138.
The main character has weird dreams of drowning, being chased and killed or hurt. You totally know most of these things are going to happen or come close to ...
