Louisville Stomp Crate Sessions - Dixieland Jug Blowers

Stomp it Out

Advantages: Some great dance performances
Disadvantages: A lack of narrative depth and direcorial flair.

. The same can certainly be said of ?Stomp the Yard?, but it lacks the finesse to be a truly enjoyable example of the genre. Too many things happen just to enable the plot to keep running and the execution is often clumsy. For instance, DJ?s pursuit of dream-girl April is literally laughable. He falls for her on sight and their relationship escalates far too quickly for it to be realistic. Pacing is a major issue throughout; you?re never given the opportunity to get to know the characters, so you won?t care about them. The rate at which things change is too fast, so you never for an instant believe the characters? motives or choices because everything happens just to fulfil the requirements of the story. There is nowhere near enough narrative to fill the hundred and fourteen minute running time. Consequently many of the stepping and slow ...

Slug in a Jug

Advantages: Develops literacy skills
Disadvantages: May not be used very often

They do enjoy finding words which rhyme as it's almost like a song. **Price and Availability** I bought this (along with other games) from www.orchardtoyscom, and it cost £6.00 **Other Relevant Products** Also from Orchard Toys, these are some of the other game which all encourage the development of Literacy and language skills. Sharon the Sheep £8.00 Pass The Word £8.00 **What I Thought** Another useful game from one of my favourite producers of educational games and jigsaws. The games can be bought online and also from some book shops, and I have seen them in Boots the chemist, so they are easily available, and best of all, not cost prohibitive. Slug in A Jug is a fun game for children, and while ...

Review of Slug in a Jug

Mental Session

Advantages: Tense, Atmospheric Thriller
Disadvantages: Hardly upbeat! (Is a positive for some!)

Now i'll turn my hand to a little video nasty! Hardly but a little more of a creepy one than I usually review. So what's it all about? ------------------------------- 'Session 9' is a film made in 2001 and is directed by Brad Anderson (The machinist). The film is a psychological thriller set around Danvers State Mental Hopsital and is focussed on a team of asbestos removal specialists who are somewhat obstructed in the path of completing their work by a few odd occurances in the old Hospital. The team are given a strict deadline that their leaders Gordon (Peter Mullan) and Phil (David Caruso) are in disagreement over the realism of the goal. Gordon is going through some personal turmoil and seems determined to take his mind off of this by getting his team working extremely hard. A subplot to the group dynamic is that Phil ...
