Messages [Digipak] - To My Boy

message to my boy.

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: not very well written

I wrote this when I wanted to tell a very close friend of mine to fix his ways. it was very important to me that he went to college and got a good life. But when I tried to explain this to him in other words he couldn't see what I meant. He was my best friend and now he's still stuck in the grind of drugs and violence. This is a message to any body else out there that is doing the same kind of thing. Because once you get involved with drugs on the streets then it can only go one way. And every time I hear that some one has ended up in a bad way or even dead because of things like that, it tears another layer away from my heart just thinking of it. And I worry it could happen to him. But now I realise that the only one that can help him is himself. A young mans dream To be a star To shine brightly And anonymously how you shine ...

Review of Poems of Love

'Have you news of my boy Jack?'

Advantages: Good acting, compelling story
Disadvantages: Depressing, distressing

when Kipling quotes his poem, 'Have You News of My Boy Jack'. This is a war film and obviously has some scenes that could be frightening for young children. However, it is not full of gory shots, so the classification of 15 is probably about right. Be aware though, that it is distressing to watch at times. I have been inspired enough to want to find out more about Kipling and his role in the War effort, and have ordered a book on the subject. For me, this proves how good I thought this film was. It is deeply distressing and depressing, but I think it is worth that, thanks to the strong performances of the main characters. Highly recommended. I watched the film on television, so am reviewing the film only, but there is a DVD available from play.com for £11.99. This comes with extras, including an interview with Daniel Radcliffe ...

Review of My Boy Jack (DVD)

HERE'S MY BOTTLED MESSAGE

Advantages: A GOOD FILM WITH A GREAT STORYLINE.
Disadvantages: TO SLOPPY FOR MEN PERHAPS

. This is a super movie, probably a chick flick but not a pointless one. It's one that shows the strengths and weaknesses of love, the way in which love is sometimes hard to let go of, and how human beings falter when moving on. To me, it was 101 minutes well spent, and I know I shall watch it again. Humbug, I hear males less sentimental than me saying. Well, they are wrong. It's a story of morality, with enough hot stuff in it to be classed 13 Parent Guided, but not so much that one could call it smut. I loved the story, the interaction between the stars, and the reality of the remote possibilities that it brought to the viewer as the scenes unfolded. Ending ? Well, you will have to watch it to see that, but it is a worthwhile one. Even tempted now to write my message in a bottle, throw it over the cliffs and see where it takes my ...
