**** What are the meadows? ****
The meadows is basically the name given to a large park on the south side of the centre of Edinburgh. It is a large flat open area of grass and is popular with all age-groups. It extends for approximately 58.4 acres and is less than a mile away from the centre of town.
The meadows backs on to what used to be the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh which was Edinburghs main and oldest hospital. This has now been moved to an area on the outskirts of town and the hospital is undergoing redevelopment as Quartermile a development of upmarket apartments. Some of these will have a wonderful outlook over the meadows.

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of The Meadows
Advantages: best dvd collection you can own, Disadvantages: need plenty of time to see the film
Pretty sure that this film "LORD OF THE RINGS TRILOGY " have been reviewed many times. But I would still like to share my experience with this brilliant film by Peter Jackson. Everything about this film is perfect! I would suggest you to sit tight and don't let anyone disturb you while watching it, you will definitely miss something important if you did. Actually it happened to me so i just warn you! Don't make the same mistake as i did. Luckily i have the DVD set and i can watch it anytime i want to. Anyways here are some briefing on what to expect.
The Lord of the Rings film trilogy consists of three live action fantasy epic films: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001), The Two Towers (2002) and The Return of the King (2003). The trilogy is based on the three-volume book The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien. While they follow ...
Advantages: Cheap Box Set Disadvantages: Poor DVD quality, Rambo 4 comming out so this is not the complete set
, Italian, Spanish
Rambo III Subtitles: English, German, Spanish, Italian, Turkish, Portuguese
Conclusion
I think the movies are great, I loved the first two the best as the first one introduces John and the 2nd one he fought a war on his own. I wouldn't recommend buying these DVD's as the quality is very poor compared to other DVD's as the picture is very fuzzy. Also Rambo 4 (John Rambo) will be releasing soon so it would be best off getting a Quadrilogy box set. Also it would be a good idea to get HD-DVD or Blu-Ray Disc version because I do not think that that they are going to improve the quality of the DVD's.
