Advantages: Great movice for fans of the 'Gangster' genre...
Disadvantages: Should have hd De Niro in as well to make it an ultimate classic...

...The Film: One of the greatest gangster films ever made? Well that's what many people consider. I would have to say that this isn't really correct, but does definitely stand out from other gangster films. The film is based upon the 1932 version of Scarface, in which uses very similar plot outlines throughout the film such as the dramatic ending of the bad guy dying in the end, the protectiveness of the bad guys sister and also the bad guy going for the boss' partner. Unlike the original, the main character Tony Montana (Al Pacino) is a Cuban refugee and the film is set in Miami, whereas the original is set in Chicago and the character Tony Comente (Paul Muni) is based upon Al Capone. In reference to the original, when it was released 1932, this was when Al Capone ruled the Chicago gangland. The film is basically about Montana... Read review

...I usually drink white wine but in the summer buy a fair amount of rose as I think rose wine is like a glass of summer! At the moment there are lots of lovely looking roses to choose from on the supermarket shelves. I don't like wine that is too sweet and some roses can be a bit on the sweet side. I recently discovered a really good rose that is not too sweet, has a lovely strawberry taste and is not too expensive. I really like most New Zealand wines so it was no surprise to me that Montana east coat rose was a real winner as far as I was concerned. Montana east coast rose comes from vineyards on New Zealand's mountainous east coat, as the name suggests! It is a gorgeous deep pink colour and just asks to be drunk! This wine has a screw top, which I find a lot easier to open and replace. Before I tell you about the taste I thought I... Read review

Advantages: Fresh, crisp, quaffable
Disadvantages: It's going fast

...Montana Marlborough New Zealand 2005 100% Sauvignon Blanc Montana has a good reputation for producing high quality New Zealand wines, and New Zealand has earned itself a reputation for excellent wine production. The 2005 was released in August and contains grapes from a wide area of Marlborough. The wine is clear and bright with a pale lemon colour with a few hints of green, reflecting its freshness. A quick sniff results in a big hit of fresh, green fruitiness. Sauvignon Blanc's distinctive varietal character is here in spades, there's gooseberries and green peppers with a smidge of grass. It smells delicious, so it seems wasteful not to get straight in for a taste. It's seriously dry with a crisp acidity that sets your mouth watering. It's medium bodied with an intense fruitiness. The gooseberry and pepper flavours... Read review

Advantages: Original revolutionary gangster film
Disadvantages: Might be too violent for some

...Starring Al Pacino as Cuban refugee/gangster Antonio Montana, Scarface is a film that has changed the idea of the mainstream gangster genre which up untill the release of this film, had been stroylines orientated around the Mafia and Italian/New York gangs. When Fidel Castro (Cuban communist dictator) dispersed swarms of Cuban ex-prisoners and convicts into the United States with the American government's intention to let them rejoin their families, Tony Montana was just one man who had a dream to make it big, that was the American dream. With a few close friends, Tony gradually makes his way to the top battling through Columbian drug lords and other gangsters, corrupt cops and politicians and secret agents who are out to stop the increase of cocaine smuggling into America. I was growing bored of the gangster films always centering... Read review

...When I first went to Crans-Montana I was origionally surprised that it was not somewhat larger, but quickly realised that there was more than enough to do both during the day and at night. Some of the skiing highlights are the glacier run and the slopes at Aminona. Clearly the glacier is only for more experienced skiiers or snowboaders but Aminona provides slopes for those just learning. There is also a jump park here for those able or willing. The resturant at the top of the slopes provides good if somewhat expensive food, and provides an excellent bar. If you go there be sure to try the drink cafe aminona. In the two villages themselves there is good and varied nightlife and a very good apres ski atmosphere. It is hjowever quiet enough that older people or those wanting to sleep will not be kept awake all night. The village also boasts... Read review

Advantages: beautiful surroundings, lovely climate
Disadvantages: quite a distance from Heathrow

...I flew in to West Yellowstone, Montana in July from London Heathrow. We had to fly to Vancouver and then to Salt Lake City and then connect to West Yellowstone. It was definitely worth it. The temperature was up to 102F although at night time it was comfortable and easy to sleep in as it was not very humid. there is a public library in West Yellowstone with free internet access, all you pay for is the pages you choose to print. There is also a wide range of magazines and books available. There is a large range of restaurants to eat in. The best we found was Pete's Pizza Place which as the name suggests serves pizzas - the best in town. It is competitively priced and the staff are exceedingly friendly and the pizza is always cooked to perfection. The drinking age in Montana is 21 so be aware if you are a European as it may be different... Read review

Advantages: 1980s
Disadvantages: 1980s

...This is a classic yet enigmatic movie. Much debate may be had as to whether it is actually any good. At times it is sickeningly sentimental and ludicrously over the top. It features absurd sequences that remind us of the worst excesses of late 70s / 80s film and tv. The traditional rock montage of such 'classics' as Pretty Woman, and all the Rocky flicks is the centrepiece of Scarface. The film itself satirises the American Dream. Cuban immigrant Tony Montana (Al Pacino) arrives in Miami and sets about building a drug empire that eventually implodes as Montana gradually realizes the vacuosity of his own existence and attempts a moral action with disastrous consequences. This is all pretty simple stuff and, as gangster flicks go, this one has none of the characterization or psychological interest of the old James Cagney films, notably... Read review

Advantages: Comfort,Good Gas consumption,Smooth ride,Safety,Excellent Cargo space.
Disadvantages: No ashtray in our model.

...The Pontiac Montana is a great vehicle for everyone. From moms and dads and grandparents to sport coaches, bands,artist and performers. Anyone who needs room for hauling their equipment and still wants to travel comfortably. Being in cramped conditions can be nerve racking to say the least. And worse the longer the trip takes. The Pontiac Montana comes in an Extended Version for those who need a little extra room. And a regular version for small families and groups. Both versions seat seven adults comfortably and eight if you have kids. The Extended Model includes a little more room in the back for cargo than the regular model. So, it's good for those who need a little room and great for those who need alot. Also, incase you need to haul serious cargo, all the seats can be removed (with the exception of the two front seats). Now that we... Read review

Advantages: Easy To control
Disadvantages: Unbeatable positions without cheats

...Scarface, The World Is Yours, one of the greatest gangster films ever made transformed into a game where you play Tony Montana after the Collapse of his drug dynasty and you take the Miami streets by storm with guns and try to take over the world which was once yours. From My prospective of the game it is one of the best i played giving Grand Theft Auto San Andreas a run for their money. Esay to control and great for those who dont want to see Tony Montana wear the same clothes giving you a range of unlockable clothing to wear during missions. Easy to play with a lot of challenging moments where you find yourself faced with twenty guys holding Mac-10's, M15 and even rocket launchers all with the same aim to kill you. But fr the cheaters who like to use cheats this game is great for using cheats in tight spots. But overall... Read review

Advantages: Easy to make.
Disadvantages: Falsely advertised!

...Anyone familiar with my reviews will be aware that my daughter (now 7) is a huge High School musical fan, but the product I will now review is merchandise from one of her new "favourites" Hannah Montana. The product I will now review is "Hannah Montana - create your own lip gloss set". Anyone not familiar with Hannah Montana here's a little background information - Hannah Montana (played by Destiny Hope Cyrus) is by day a normal 14 year old school girl who has just started her local high school, but by night and in her disguise ( albeit a long blonde wig and some truly fabulous clothes), she becomes pop sensation Hannah Montana. Her father and manager (Billy Ray Cyrus, as in "acky breaky heart fame", who is obviously her real father as well) plays her dad in the show and also Hannah Montana's manager and songwriter. I'm ashamed... Read review
