The Blue Mountains

Advantages: everything
Disadvantages: nothing

This next review is on my time on The Blue Mountains National Park, located in Sydney Australia. A few friends and I had decided to hire a van and take a tour of the national park, as we had been recommended it by several people we had met along the way. I am usually a fan of national parks; it gives you a chance to take in the scenic view, it gives you a chance to relax and unwind if you have had a busy week, and you even get to see some wildlife. It?s a great experience, which allows you to camp overnight, whilst also have a magnificent driving experience. History & Park Info: The park covers 267,954 hectares, which included several mountains and rivers along the trek. The highest point of the park is Mount Werong (1,215 m), and there are some breathtaking views from the top. The area became a national park in 1932, and ever since ...

Review of Iron Man (DVD)

Any Old Iron?

Advantages: It's great fun and has solide direction, writing and performances.
Disadvantages: The peripheral characters are unremarkable.

Billionaire industrialist Tony Stark has made his fortune creating evermore innovative weapons. But when he is captured by insurgents while showcasing his latest invention, he is ordered to build a devastating weapon for his captors. Instead he constructs a high-tech suit of armour that he uses to escape. Returning home he decides to devote his money and ingenuity to help mankind. He modifies the suit, increasing its powers to include super-strength and the ability to fly and superhero Iron Man is born? Actor-turned-director Jon Favreau takes a step up from his kids films ("Elf" and "Zathura") for this thoroughly enjoyable superhero romp that never takes itself too seriously. His visuals are glossy and the effects, of which there are many, are suitably impressive. He understands cinema as spectacle and makes the most of his big budget ...
