Leo San Bruno, Isla Canela

Bruno

Advantages: I do like Sasha Baron Cohen's characters
Disadvantages: Too rude, too obnoxious, trying too hard

After finding myself at the cinema on a Sunday afternoon having been convinced that Bruno is a worthwhile watch, I decided within mere minutes of it starting that I had been clearly naive in thinking that it was an easy going, crowd pleasing film. Starring Sasha Baron Cohen, the man behind Ali G and Borat, I had safely assumed it was going to be a bit controversial, but usually the persona of the main character generally making it just about okay to laugh at the political-incorrectness. The protagonist of the story is Bruno, a gay Austrian fashionista who, after being fired from his local TV show following a chaotic Velcro Catsuit incident, embarks on a journey to Hollywood to become the "most famous Austrian since Hitler". The fabric of the storyline, narrated by Bruno himself, is simple enough: Bruno's rejection after rejection, then ...

Bruno Not a must see

Advantages: Good acting, funny in parts
Disadvantages: outragous butit's all been done before now

Bruno is Sasha Baron Cohen's latest creation, a 19 year old gay super model from Austria. I watched this last night and so here is my film only review Story The story, filmed like Borat in a documentary style, starts with Bruno at the height of his fame in Europe, model, fashionista and presenter of televisions, Funky time. Bruno seems to have it all, fame, money and the love of his life with whom he enjoys a very adventerous sex life. That is until it all goes wrong afer a misjudged outfit choice on Bruno's part involving a velcro suit. Bruno loses his job on funky time and becomes a nobody. Bruno decides the only way to become famous is to conquer the States and heads to L..A with his assistant Lutz. After trying acting, making his own pilot T.V show, a sex tape and attempting to bring peace to the middle east, as well as a major ...

CLUBBING HEAVEN - NOT

Advantages: The hotel is in a beautiful peaceful area of Spain
Disadvantages: Rooms probably need refurbished

We stayed at the 4* Riu Canella hotel for two weeks in June this year (2005) and thoroughly enjoyed our visit, it was one of the most relaxing holidays we have had for many years. The Riu Canela hotel has 347 rooms all en suite and most with a balcony or terrace. As the hotel has been open for about twenty years some of the rooms have a rather 'tired' air about them and probably would benefit from refurbishment. However having said that, the room we occupied was well appointed and spotlessly clean. *********************************** SITUATION The hotel is located at Canela Beach on the Isla Canela, Costa de la Luz, Spain. It faces the Atlantic Ocean. Isla Canela is a very small island connected by a road bridge to the town of Ayamonte, which sits on the River Guadiana that is the border between Spain and Portugal in this ...
