Advantages: Good acting, great story Disadvantages: Some violence
The other "LostWorld" category featured pics of the Bob Hoskins BBC drama but was full of Jurassic Park 2 reviews so I've added this review here.
This great BBC adaptation of Conan Doyle's famous novel was on TV over Christmas 2001 and the DVD and video were released about six months later.
The basic story is that it's the early 1900s and academic Professor George Challenger (Bob Hoskins) believes there is a "lostworld" where dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures still roam, even though they died out 65 million years ago. He leaves his museum in London and goes to the rainforests of South America in search of this mythical land. He takes sceptical rival academic Professor Leo Summerlee (James Fox) with him as well as hunter Lord Roxton who funds the trip(Tom Ward) and journalist Edward Malone (Matthew Rhys). They follow ...

There have been two accounts of Hadrian?swall on Ciao already (one in 2004) so I won?t be covering what has already been said. This review is aimed at those who might wish to walk, at least partially, the route of this ancient 80 miles long edifice.

Until the late 19th century it was believed that the Emperor Severus had erected the stone-built Wall around 200 AD but archaeological investigations have proved that he merely restored it and strengthened it. The final version of the Wall had 17 forts along its length, a milecastle every (Roman) mile ...
Advantages: Fun game for a while, easy to play Disadvantages: Too repetitive, to easy to complete
This review is for the game, 7 Wonders of the AncientWorld, a game for the Nintendo DS developed by Hot Lava Games and published by MumboJumbo Software. The game is essentially a puzzle game where you have to match up similar objects to progress through the game.
The game is based on Bejeweled, a popular game where you have to match up three or more runes to be able to progress through the game. The title of the game is based on the seven different levels you work through, ie, the great pyramids, Temple of Artemis, Statue of Zeus, Mausolus Mausoleum, the Lighthouse of Alexandra, the Colossus of Rhodes, and the hanging gardens of Babylon.
Really the game doesn?t change as you play it, you are faced just with differently design boards, and some additional features where you can blast away some of the runes in different ways such as ...
