Advantages: American Muscle cars racing around Disadvantages: Not a great script
Cannonball, also known as 'Carquake' is a cult 70's all american race movie.
The story revolves around the main character 'Buckman' (Carradine), who is using this cross country road race as a gateway into an official racing team. He is joined in the car by his girlfriend who is also a policewoman, and who obviously doesnt want him to partake in this illegal race.
His main rival in the race is a drunken mad man called 'Red', who is also trying to make the official team and will do anything he can to win the race, including shooting at him and trying to destroy his car.
Troys best friend joins him in the race driving an identical car, (which causes confusion to all involved throughout the film) and turns out to be deeply obsessed with trying to become Troy.
To add some form of story into the script, Benny (Troys brother) puts a huge ...

Advantages: Different and fun game, easy to play Disadvantages: Can be frustrating!
WHAT IS IT: Phoenix Wright:Ace Attorney is a cartoon adventure game for the Nintendo DS released in 2005. You play Phoenix Wright a hapless rookie lawyer who must work alongside a number of other somewhat bizarre characters to gather enough evidence to crack a case through cross examination in court.
GAMEPLAY: There are two main modes in the game: investigation and trial. In investigation mode, you have to travel around a number of different locations to gather evidence. At these locations you often encounter witnesses, suspects or a detective with useful information or items of evidence. You have four options in each location:
Talk ? you can talk to the person present about a limited number of topics which may increase as you gather more evidence
Present ? you can show a piece of evidence to a person to try to gather more information ...
Advantages: 4 star luxary, excellent breakfest, cheap deals if booked early Disadvantages: smallish sized room
So here we are traveling the globe and the Scandinavian is without doubt the most expensive for hostels and we were really struggling to find a hostel in central Copenhagen until my girlfriend stumbled upon this excellent hotel which worked out to be only a couple of pounds more expensive then the hostels in the area - but this one has of course a four star luxury status!
The hotel is within easy walking distance of the city centre and of course a local metro stop which connects directly to the local airport. We made the short journey and located the street that the hostel was on easily. The hotel stood out on this quiet street as we arrived at 9pm and there was no one walking the streets and only one building as lit up - this was the phoenix.
The hotel entrance is grand with a water feature in the middle of reception and its have ...

Album Notes
Personnel: Cannonball Adderley (soprano & alto saxophones); Nat Adderley (cornet); George Duke (keyboards, synthesizer); Mike Wolff (keyboards); Walter Booker (acoustic & electric basses); Sam Jones (acoustic bass); Louis Hayes, Roy McCurdy (drums); Airto Moreira (congas, percussion). Producers: Julian "Cannonball" Adderly, Nat Adderly, Orrin Keepnews. Digitally remastered by Kirk Felton (1999 Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California). Released shortly after Julian "Cannonball" Adderley's death in August of 1975, this oddly named live, double album captures a show from the alto saxophonist's final tour. PHENIX features the final lineup of Adderley's long-running band, anchored by his cornetist brother Nat and electric keyboardist George Duke. Airto Moreira flavors the groove-oriented proceedings with his inimitable congas and hand percussion. PHENIX, a joyful and funky walk through Adderley's songbook, stretches all the way back to his hard-bop recordings of the '50s. Almost all of his most beloved songs are here--"Jive Samba," "Work Song," "Country Preacher," and of course his hit "Mercy Mercy Mercy"--performed with Adderley's usual fire and grace. The band is absolutely on, tight and swinging, and the sound quality is excellent. One of the better live jazz albums of its era.
