Advantages: History of Hungary come to life Disadvantages: Long, occasionally unconvincing
Sunshine, directed by Istvan Szabo, is an award winning co-production between Austria, Germany, Canada and Hungary. An historical film, the story weaves through 3 generations of a Jewish family in Hungary from the turn of the 20th century to the communist regime post 1956 examining issues of family, torn loyalty and the effects of our personal and national history upon our lives.
The film follows the lives of 3 generations of the Sonnenshein family, all played by Ralph Fiennes, through the intense upheavals of the period. Ignatz Sonnenshein is a political conservative loyal to the Emperor even changing his name from the too Jewish Sonnenshein from which the film takes it's name-being the German for sunshine-to the more Hungarian Sors in order to forward his career.

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Sunshine (DVD)
Advantages: The liquid cleans well. It removes both marks and stains. Disadvantages: It does seem to lose its smell quite quickly.
Sunshine Lemons and Bergamot, are we talking Chanel, Dior or Guerlain ?
Guess again ! In fact I am referring to the new Surf Small and Mighty laundry liquid, currently on offer in Wilkinson's at just under £2 for a 730ml bottle.
Given that I can remember having to choose between Tide, Omo, Persil or just plain Surf powder these new and exciting laundry products prove a great temptation for me.
Liquitabs, liquids, powders, pearls, some are ingenious, others are great value for money and then there are a few that border on sheer extravagance.
If I was in Milan and the Surf Small and Mighty bottle was on the catwalk it would surely have to be one of the leading models.
The neat white plastic bottle is lathered with ripe juicy lemons and bergamot, it is attractive, eye-catching and very shapely.
I am always slightly dubious ...
Advantages: Visually stunning Disadvantages: A bit chaotic towards the end
The decision whether to watch "Sunshine", the newest collaboration between director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland, was always going to be an easy one. I'm a big fan of "Trainspotting", which was also directed by Danny Boyle and my girlfriend loves "28 Days Later", which was a previous joint project for the two. So with a Sunday afternoon with nothing much to do stretching before us and "Sunshine" having just opened, it was only left to decide which showing to attend and to hope previous enjoyment would not set our expectations too high.
Our sun is dying, condemning the Earth to a permanent Winter as its rays are no longer enough to provide heat. A crew of 8 have set off in Icarus 2 to try and drop a large bomb into the heart of the sun in an attempt to reinvigorate it and warm up the planet once more; they're essentially there ...
