Advantages: Return to focus on Bond's character and the plot Disadvantages: Less artistic camera work
in this film. The camera work is not so comprehensive as with Gilbert's Bond films, but it is still very good, and the emphasis is more on the actions of the MI6 agent Bond and the plot rather than the scenery.
For YourEyes Only is noteworthy for its opening sequence, involving Blofeld, Bond's nemesis. There were long-standing disputes between writers for the rights to Thunderball, with Kevin McClory eventually winning out, and so Broccoli and his Bond franchise chose to show that Blofeld was not so important, thus he is not even credited in the film. It is a shame to think that such a wonderful series such as the Bond films is marred internally by feuding amongst writers. Safe to say, this does not show on screen, and For YourEyes Only is a marvellous addition to the series.
Conclusion
Lovely Bond film, fresh directing taking ...
Advantages: Beautifully sung Disadvantages: Weaker songs to the end of the album
album, a slower more calm track than the opening two. A very relaxing track which also, for some reason, reminds me a lot of "Jimmy Eat World" - another one of my favourite bands. A classic love song.
Following this is "Shut YourEyes" is another beautiful song which just urges you to shut youreyes and allow yourself to be lost in a better place.
"It's Beginning To Get To Me" is going to be one of the songs everyone remembers from this album. Faster paced than the previous few songs, it contains one of the best coruses on the album - with the lyric "And it's beginning to get to me, I know more of the stars and sea, Than I do of what's in your head" which I can certainly relate to.
"You Could Be Happy" is the first track of my favourite bit in the album. Another beautifully sung song it is upstaged only by the next track "Make This ...
Advantages: It's you, on the telly. Disadvantages: Gets a tiny bit repetetive
Although this game came out in 2003, it is still a big hit with many gamers.
Usually, the first words that a little child will say when putting the game on will be,
"Mum, I'm on the telly!"
This might be your only chance to get on the big screen, by putting this magical eye on the top of your T.V and making the apropriate actions for the right mini-game. The camera senses your body movements, puts them on the screen, and the objects on the screen react with what you are doing.
>Games include a boxing match with a robot which will flaunder when you hit it, and will hit back.
>You can have a game of keepy-uppy, keeping a football in the air with any part of your body, (yes, that includes your hands, it's not that clever)!
>A kung foo game, where you hit little tiny men off the screen, with any part of your body as they come ...

Album Notes
On 2008's KEEP YOUR EYES AHEAD, its second full-length album for Sub Pop, the Helio Sequence offers up another shimmering set of dreamy indie-rock. Gilding its songs with shoegaze, electronic, and folk elements, the Portland, Oregon-based duo, which consists of vocalist/guitarist Brandon Summers and keyboardist/drummer Benjamin Weikel, excels at textured, mid-tempo tunes, as best revealed on the chiming opener, "Lately," and the pulsing "Hallelujah." Given gravitas by Summers's deep voice and intense delivery, AHEAD also displays a gentler side of the band's aesthetic, particularly on the serene, acoustic-oriented "Shed Your Love." One of Sub Pop's most underrated acts, the Helio Sequence may win over a wider audience with this assured outing.
Album Reviews
Spin (p.94) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "'Can't Say No' floats on layers of riffy ambience, while 'Back To This' grooves to a sing-along chorus and bubbly bass." Alternative Press (p.141) - 4.5 stars out of 5 -- "[L]ush tracks that slide under your skin with a welcome emotive quality. It's the most solid album in the group's discography, haunting with moments of near perfection."
