Advantages: A hotel brimming with personality and themed to perfection Disadvantages: Expensive. But you get what you pay for.
I consider myself lucky in relation to a lot of things in my life, but especially so when it comes to holidays. When I was six my parents took my to Disneyworld in Florida for the first time. Such was the impression that was left on us from that fantastic holiday, that my parents have taken me back there too many times to count since. In 1998, when I was fourteen years old, we stayed at Disneys Wilderness Lodge for the first time. Even by the standards of Disneyworld this phenomenal hotel raised the bar clean out of site, and since then we haven't even contemplated staying anywhere else. Read on to find out why.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS

I bought this because of a recommendation on a forum I visit. I don't think I'd heard of it before, but I'm willing to give anything a try. After watching "The Hidden", I ...

Advantages: Some funny scenes, Ryan Reynolds plays his part well. Disadvantages: Not really bringing anything new to the genre.
Van Wilder: Party Liaison is a comedy film starring Ryan Reynolds and Tara Reid with Kal Penn and Daniel Cosgrove the most notable supporting cast.
Van Wilder (Ryan Reynolds) has been at Coolidge College for seven years and has shown no intention of graduating.

Van attempts to romance Gwen but she is already involved with Richard (Daniel Cosgrove) so the two men start up a rivalry with one another which results in them playing ...
