Cowboy Under The Western Sky - Rex Allen

Advantages: For lovers of the film, the period or the music of John Barry.
Disadvantages: A bit too easy listening for some

...Cowboy" theme, a languid, melancholic instrumental with its sublime lonely harmonica introduction. This is memorably heard during the daydreaming sequences that Joe Buck has on his bus Journey to New York. Near the end of the film we here another well known Barry tune but perhaps not its lesser known title "Florida Fantasy". Some might be familiar with this bouncy instrumental as not only am I sure it's been used on at least one TV advert, but it was also used as the theme tune for a long-forgotten 1970s TV programme called "Wildtrack". In the film it is played during Rizzo's bus ride daydream about the life he will have upon his arrival in sunny Florida. Other Barry tracks include the languid western/cowboy orchestral piece "Joe Buck Rides Again", a short dramatic orchestral piece called "Science Fiction" and the laid back 'Fun City... Read review

Advantages: Good atmosphere, la Grande Salle,
Disadvantages: Expensive, small screens

...not cheap, but then, none of the cinemas in Paris are, and this one definitely offers something in the way of history and ambience. Concessions are available for under 12s, over 60s and students. The price is also lower if you visit before midday. The Grande Salle costs more, the full price tickets being 9? for the Grande Salle and 7.30? for the ordinary rooms. Les Etoiles du Rex Since this is no ordinary cinema, an 'interactive' visit behind the scenes is available - with audio guides in English, French, Italian and Spanish.

...For a long time I refused to get Sky+ because I said we'd never use it. After giving in to pressure and having it installed I cant believe we ever managed without it. There are very few programmes I watch 'live' anymore. The Sky + box comes with a hard drive that will store approximately 40 hours of TV, which is more than enough for most people, you would need to be an exteme TV watcher to fill the drive, or be the type of person who saves programmes to watch over again. The best feature of the Sky+ is the ability to pause live TV, very handy if the phone rings or someone comes to the door. You can also rewind live TV, so if you miss what someone has said you can rewind to hear it again. The Sky+ box has parental controls, so all adult channels can be blocked and a PIN number can be set so children cant watch films that are too... Read review
