Hills Of Greenmore/Anthology - Steeleye Span

One Misty Moisty Morning

Advantages: Great variety of songs, enough tracks to keep anybody occupied for some time.
Disadvantages: Slightly genre-specific, I suppose.

What is there to say about Steeleye Span to the unacquainted? The immediate comparison that leaps to mind is to the contemporary British folk-group, Fairport Convention, but it is unlikely that many of Fairport's fans will have managed to miss out on Steeleye altogether, and they, too, have faded rather into obscurity, rendering the comparison quite useless. Therefore, to start from the beginning: Steeleye Span are one of those groups who don't seem to be able to keep a static line-up for more than two albums at a time. That said, the thing about Steeleye is that it doesn't matter what incarnation of the band you are listening to, they are *always good*. My RealOne Player informs me that they fit into the category of 'folk-rock', but with the exception of a few songs - such as the techno-enhanced Thomas The Rhymer - I would say ...

Review of Spanning The Years - Steeleye Span

The Hills

Advantages: Funny, tacky
Disadvantages: None

The Hills is my guilty little pleasure. There's backstabbing, friendships, boyfriends, clubbing, making up, breaking up, in fact this programme has everything!

She has the clothes, looks, long blond hair and drives a very nice convertible car. I do like her and I think she is quite entertaining. She often seems to have a rough ride where some of her friends are concerned but that is life, and more importantly that is life ...

Review of The Hills - Series 1 (DVD)

* Not-In Hill *

Advantages: Plot , Characters , Script!
Disadvantages: None!

Despite it?s huge success , the film Notting Hill had never appealed to me . I don?t know if was because of the fact that I was only about ten or eleven when the film came out , and so because of the ?cover? of the DVD , as a child , I instantly thought ?that looks boring? , and so I had always had that opinion of the film , despite the saying ? Never Judge A Book (or in this case , a film) by it?s cover). However , many years later , I am sat in a media studies lesson in college, when the teacher tells the class that we are going to be watching clips from movies and then analysing the setting , speech , lighting , etc. The first film to come on was Notting Hill. Most people had seen it and some were saying ?oh this next bit is funny? whilst we were watching the clip. Whereas I hadn?t seen it. I found the clip that we watch to be ...
