Three Up, Two Down (DVD)

One, Two, Three....

Advantages: A brightly illustrated book, great for pre-school children.
Disadvantages: None

;☺☺ Although not a huge amount of text, this is certainly too demanding for emergent readers to read alone. However since it is pitched for slightly younger children, from 12 months upwards, this is not a flaw in the book at all. There is a small element of repetitive text or ?chant? in the book with ?One, two, three?..jump?, which believe me, little ones just love joining in with. The text is at the bottom of each page but what makes it that little more interesting is that the font changes a little for some of the words, e.g. ?jump? is written in bold, large writing and goes up in to an arch and then down again to represent the shape of the frog?s jump. I hope this shows up on the photos in case I haven?t explained it clearly enough! The word ?wobble? is also different and in a wobbly type font and ?splash? is in bold font with little ...

Review of One, Two, Three, Jump! - Penelope Lively

Get Up To Get Down

Advantages: Lots of big tunes
Disadvantages: One average track

towards the old Parliament days, and as their debut was so inconsistent (due to extensive experimentation) I wasn?t quite sure what to expect of such material. However, it seems as though they make sure that their old stuff seems to come through to some degree, but the main focus remains to be developing it (but just not to the quality that is found elsewhere). **Three Stars** 6. ?All Your Goodies Are Gone? They get back on track with the every high quality material here as you see that here they get down to one where Tiki Fulwood lays down a funky drum line to set up the rest of the band and ensure that they are all ?on the one? before they get into things. Here you get another throwback tune for the band (clear as it claims that Billy ?Bass? Nelson? was part of the writing of it, and he left the band in 1971) and they make sure that it ...

Review of Up For The Down Stroke [Remastered] - Parliament

Lock, Stock and Two Thumbs Up!

Advantages: Great direction, acting, plot twists
Disadvantages: Bad lannguage and rather bloodthirsty - you have been warned!!

LOCK, STOCK AND TWO SMOKING BARRELS film only review Eddy: "They're armed." Soap: "Armed!? armed with what?" Eddy: "Err, bad breath, colourful language, feather duster... what do you think they're gonna be armed with? Guns, you tit!" Soap: "A minute ago this was the safest job in the world. Now it's turning into a bad day in Bosnia." In 1998 an unknown British film Director named Guy Ritchie set off to film a side of London that was rarely seen. A deep underground syndicate of crime, corruption, and power; but instead of documenting it, and sulking his viewers in darkness, he made it a damn good time. A surprising sketch of wonderful ideas, situations, and dialogue. In 1999 Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels was released world wide. It introduced the world to Ritchie's groovy stylized ...
