Advantages: Will keep young children (very young) entertained for an hour and a half. Disadvantages: Poor script, unimaginative, corny at times.
. When she drops Sean off, she also brings a box containing Max?s work (who was also a scientist). Within minutes of reading the material, Trevor quickly deduces that Max was last working in Iceland trying to discover a way to reach the centre of the earth. They decide to use some money saved in jars to whisk them off to Iceland to shed light on Max?s disappearance?.as you do! (This is definitely not a movie that you should consider switching your brain on for!)
On arrival they enlist the help of a pretty guide, who will help them up the mountain. As Trevor uses one of his instruments there is a thunderstorm and they seek shelter in a cave, but quickly become trapped. They explore the cave and end up taking a ride on a mine type truck, which quickly runs away out of control (very much a copy of the Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom ...
Advantages: Facinating story Disadvantages: Long Chapters!!
researched both Brighton and the plastics industry in writing this book, as his knowledge and descriptions of both made the story believable and realistic.
The books length was quite reasonable to tell the story. And I approved of the idea at the end of the book what the author called Later Days which I understand as an epilogue. However I would like to have seen more detail in this and a little more in depth information as to what happened to all the remaining characters.
I did find it frustrating the length of the chapters. These were all about 40 pages long and I felt too long, as I like to read till the next chapter in any book and that many pages in one short sitting can be too long and its awful to leave a book in mid chapter, I find anyway. I understand why the author did it this way as he wanted a new chapter for each day, but ...
Advantages: chris rock Disadvantages: just not funny enough
This film is a remake of the Warren Beatty classic 'Heaven can wait' and is not a bad effort really. The story goes that Mr. Beatty always wanted the main character to be black in the original film and approached comedian/actor Chris Rock to take on the part in the update, I suspect Chris Rock isn't entirely happy with the results.
Chris Rock delivers a good performance as Lance Barton a stuggling black comedian trying to breakthrough and become famous, unfortunately he keeps getting booed off stage. Next thing you know he is knocked down by a truck and killed- luckily those heavenly angels realise its not his time to go (oops) and deliver him back into the temporary body of a middle aged white rich bloke, whose wife is trying to kill him, there after much hilarity ensues.
Or rather, it should have. Just as you are getting into ...
