Advantages: Star Spotting Disadvantages: Not Enough Bobby
We Want Bobby
=
Robert 'Bobby' Kennedy is a man who lived and died in the shadow of his brother John. Many films have been made about Johns life and his assassination, perhaps most notably the controversial JFK by Oliver Stone. So Bobby is here to try to redress the balance of the man who many thought would be the next American President and their savior.
Conclusion
=
I was surprised when the end titles came up and said directed by Emilio Estevez, then suddenly everything made sense. I was wondering how so many A list stars ended up having small parts in this film and Martin Sheen and Emilio together on screen. If you like star spotting then this is the film for you. Harry Belafonte looks good for an 80 year old.
The film does not have an actor portraying Bobby himself, the film cuts to archive footage ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Bobby (DVD)
Advantages: i did ok Disadvantages: some stresses and strains
the last few years I have been gaining a lot of weight and it reached a head in 2008 where I realized that it had gone to far, so hopefull 2009 will be a skinny year for me!
6) What dates will you remember from 2008?
Not really any dates specifically but I will certainly remember October as this was when I started my final teaching placement in a school that I absolutely loved. This was also the time that I actually realized that I can now teach and am ready to do it for real.
7) Did you suffer illness or injury?
No major injury thankfully although at the end of the year I was ill for two months solid with a horrific chest infection, virus and chronic laryngitis and then severe asthma that resulted in me ended up in hospital and wasn't a pleasant time. It felt like I was constantly ill! Although was probably caused by working too hard ...
Advantages: Tasty crispy etc Disadvantages: Just a little boring
Prawn crackers eh? Where would we be without them? Probably not very far from where we are now, but struggling to scoop up delicious lumps of Chinese take-away...unless you've got chopsticks/fork/spoon/hands that is. Never mind the delightful combination of scrunchy crunchiness and gloopy glutinness(?). Or you could just nibble them on their own.
Actually, when you think about it, they're pretty horrid, fat-laden things. In fact, does anyone ever intentionally buy them? or, like me, gratefully accept anything that's free and in the process feel obliged to munch every last one of them.
Perhaps watching me devour a gigantic bag of these planted the seed in Mrs P's head that, because I was scoffing them, that I liked them. Who knows. The upshot is that she 'treated' me to a bag of Bobby's Prawn Crackers. Oh joy.
Like almost ...

Album Notes
1971's HEAD ON is the most ambitious and adventurous work in Bobby Hutcherson's discography. Though the composer/bandleader/vibraphonist did contribute one tune ("Mtume"), HEAD ON mostly features the ambitious compositions and arrangements of Todd Cochran, who also plays piano on the session. The resulting music is dense and polyrhythmic, and bracing, drawing parallels to Miles Davis's BITCHES BREW and other first wave fusion albums. Cochran arranges for the 18-piece group here with a mad scientist's zeal but still manages to create precise orchestral textures. Elements of chamber music and funk abound, and Hutcherson's clear, cool marimba and vibraphone work shimmers throughout. This release marks the album's first appearance on CD, giving Hutcherson fans reason to rejoice.
Album Reviews
