Advantages: Great remake of a good story Disadvantages: A little cheesey in places
The manin the iron mask is a old story about King louie who rules the country unfairly and treats his citizens very badly,the muskateers who are sworn to protect louie and france see that he is a evil king and come up with a plan to overthrow him,there is a legend of a man placed in a iron mask who looks exactly like king louie so the muskateers set of to free the manin the iron mask and replace him with the king.
Although there are a few changes to the original story this is a good adaption.Leonardo Dicaprio brings in the audience as louie and the manin the iron mask but to be fair the three muskateers give excellent performances and are quite comical as well,the story keeps you watching and is very well told ,with a strong romance running through it as well as the destruction that louie has caused.
The story ends well and is told ...
Advantages: enjoyable watching for a lazy afternoon Disadvantages: some story flaws which were not cleared up
The ManIn Grey was released in 1943 and starred Phyllis Calvert, James Mason, Margaret Lockwood and the then new to films, Stewart Granger. The film was directed by Leslie Arliss who also wrote the screenplay (adapted from a novel by Eleanor Smith). The film runs for 116 minutes and is rated PG.
The May In Grey was filmed entirely in London at Gainsborough Studios in Hornsey and Gaumont-British Studios in Shepherd's Bush, a studio partnership which gave us films such as High Treason (1929), The Hound of the Baskervilles (1931), The Man Who Knew Too Much (1934), The 39 Steps (1935) and The Lady Vanishes (1939).

did have a name, but it has now escaped me). We didn't stay long, not because they were bad singers, but just because we were bad listeners! We preferred to sit in the bar for a bit and then retire to our room to pack for Monday's early start homewards at 7am.
***** The ending******
We had a very bouncy trip back across the Irish Sea, but I had taken my Joyrides and fell asleep for most of it, being lulled like in a rocking chair. It was a mighty long journey back down to Kent, which had to include the stopping off points along the way.
****** Additional thoughts *****
I really feel that the Isle of Man tourist board should do more to advertise their island. When talking about visiting the Isle, all anyone said was 'Is it the weekend for the TT racing??'. Or 'Will you get a Manx cat?'.
Actually, there is so much ...

Album Notes
Early Man: Mike Conte (vocals, guitar); Adam Bennati (drums). Early Man is a minimalist heavy metal duo (comprising drummer Adam Benatti and guitarist/singer Mike Conti) that worships at the altar of Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, and early Metallica. The sound is an undeniable throwback to the glory days of speed and doom metal, and Early Man does it right with righteous guitar riffs, pummeling drums, and wailing vocals. Interestingly, the face of metal has changed so much since its 1970s and '80s heyday that Early Man sounds sort of refreshing in the mid-2000s, offering up a wealth of sincere headbanging that is all the more appealing for its aspects of homage.
