The volcano Nea Kameni really is a holiday hot spot.

Advantages: walking on a volcano is a once in a life time experience

Review of Santorini volcano, Santorini

The volcano is hot, the film is not

Advantages: Good special effects
Disadvantages: Lack of characterisation, not enough human emotion

The 1990s bought us a glut of disaster movies, each with great special effects, although some were definately better than others. We were treated to the action packed but absurd Armageddon, the thoughtful and emotional Deep Impact, as well as the sizzling Dante's Peak, which is similar to Volcano in every respect, except that Pierce Brosnan is in the lead role and not Tommy Lee Jones.

This is definately Tommy Lee Jones's territory, allowing him to run around and save the day, as well as fix the troubled relationship with his daughter.

Review of Volcano (DVD)

Welsh Male Voice Choirs.

Advantages: Sublime
Disadvantages: None

Well, apart from the fact that Wales is truly the land of song, with the best history of choral music in the entire world., that is! This CD (produced by EMI and Music for Pleasure) has a wide range of Welsh Male voice Choirs from all over Wales. The competition between the different choirs and indeed the different parts of Wales are fiercely competitive. But the strong, intense rivalry is always friendly. Well, MOST of the time, that is! The songs on this CD (I am ,of course, listening to it as I write this review!) are all perfectly sung and perfectly accompanied, as the producers have chosen the cream of Welsh ...
