Electra Ape Hanger Bar

GRACO CONTOUR ELECTRA - Lullaby & Good Night!

Advantages: bassinet with nightlight, vibrating padded mattress & music centre, toy bar, changing mat with straps
Disadvantages: electronic features can only be used with bassinet

Our daughter is now 14 months and has used her travel cot as her main cot since birth. As we live in a 2-bedroom house and already had 2 boys sharing one room, we wanted something that she could use in our room for a while, that wouldn't get in the way too much, whilst still giving her room to grow. Graco's Contour Electra was perfect. It looked really stylish with its contoured design, and nicely padded top rails, and the mesh sides meant that baby could see you. It had a full size bassinet which we used as a crib when she was small, with an integral nightlight and a vibrating mattress and music centre to help soothe her to sleep. And a toy bar to keep her amused when she was awake. Baby had plenty of room for sleeping or playing, and it also doubled as a changing unit. It could be packed up or moved out of the way easily when ...

Review of Graco Contour Electra Travel Cot

Electrocute Electra

Advantages: Umm...
Disadvantages: Unsympathetic, inconsistent characters; abysmal ending, really weird chorus, pathetic use of plot devices

Let me get one thing straight here. I absolutely HATE this play. With a fiery passion which penetrates to the innermost core of my being. I loathe it. Reading it is not a pleasant experience. But re-read it I will, and indeed have. I have in the past because it was my set text. I will in the future so that I can write venemous criticisms of it, in the hope that my sacrifice of time that could be spent reading, say, Oedipus Tyrranus may serve to steer other people clear of this play. That?s how much I hate the Electra of Euripides. Here, in all fairness, I must add that many do not agree with this view. Some of the people I studied it with enjoyed it, and many critics think highly of it. I do not, and though I try to keep myself open to other people?s arguments, I sincerely doubt that I ever will. It must be said, I?m not a big ...

Review of Electra - Euripides

Battle of the Planet of the Apes

Advantages: Tim Burton's vision, great designs, special effects
Disadvantages: Not as exciting as it could be, although never dull

it would be difficult to tell as we would constantly be comparing it to the original. Well, as usual, the answer is money. There is no artistic reason, no matter what the producers might argue. Franklin J. Schaffner and Charlton Heston did the job perfectly well the first time. But, Universal know that they have a hit commodity on their hands. Rather than risk millions of dollars developing a new script that might result in a movie that nobody wants to see, better to rehash an old idea that will have an expectant audience, interested to see it no matter what. Of course, as cynical as I might be, I still couldn’t wait to see the movie! Tim Burton. Planet of the Apes? Bring it on! I am writing this section in anticipation of viewing the film this evening. The expectations of the fan base are a trifle high, I think it is safe to ...
