River Made No Sound, The [Digipak] - Pan American

Pan American

Advantages: Good Prices, Lovely Staff, Good Location
Disadvantages: None

the hotel is in good shape. The reception is pretty roomy with a god few chairs for people who want to sit. There is also free internet access on the computers in reception and free WIFI in reception too. There is an on site restaurant which i have always found to be really nice. The cheese and bacon omlette for breakfast is gorgeous. Also, burgers are massive!!! --Rooms-- The rooms arent massive but arent 'London size' either. They are more than big enough if you want to just sleep in your room or spend a couple of hours there after shopping yourself out. There is a large TV and wardrobe with a fridge in. The fridge is empty so can be filled with your own things. The rooms also have air con/heating, which was needed in the middle of December!!! There are no tea/coffee making facilities but they are able to provide you with a kettle ...

Review of Pan American Hotel, Queens

Down by the River...

Advantages: Marilyn Monroe looking beautiful and singing well, good cast, beautiful views
Disadvantages: Some dull bits, it's a Western!

In the year following the filming of Niagara, Marilyn Monroe only made two films - the star-studded There's No Business Like Showbusiness and River of No Return. The latter is a 1954 Western filmed in Canada and co-starring Robert Mitchum. Marilyn plays a saloon singer called Kay Weston, while Rory Calhoun is her partner Harry.

Matt Calder (Robert Mitchum) is a cowboy who ends up at the saloon where Kay works. He has just been reunited with his son Mark (played well by ...

Review of River Of No Return (DVD)

The sound of a revolution

Advantages: Great sound, sturdy, easy to use
Disadvantages: Only runs off mains power

Before I got my iPod and sounddock, I was one of those who refuses to subscribe to the technological revolution. Prefering hi-fi and compact disc to the digital music phenomenon.

I think it's fairly safe to say that the era of compact disc players and tape decks is over... The only reason I still have a normal cd player in my house is to listen to the radio, and those few albums that I just haven't got around to putting on my iPod yet. The Bose sound-dock is a piece of mastery in the area of audio technology. Beautiful, sleek and streamlined; it's large frontal speaker provides both volume and sound quality. The music I play on the sound-dock sounds almost incomparably better than CDs ...
