Less fun is Clash Of The Titans (Warner Home Video) which really makes you wonder why everyone went to the bother of remaking the enjoyable 1981 romp. It seems as if someone said “Ooooh the effects in that old film don’t look as good now, so let’s wow audiences with some brand spanking new CGI!” Of course, what they forget is that the (quite brilliant) special effects from Ray Harryhausen added to the film’s 80s ramshackle charm whereas here the indentikit CGI means you may as well be playing it on your Xbox. Liam Neeson (who seems to have gone genre crazy what with this, The A-Team and the aforementioned After.Life) and Ralph Fiennes turn up but are phoning it in as Sam Avatar Worthington fights some mythic monsters. And then does it again. And again. There’s just nothing special here and – removed from the big screen – it becomes an average Saturday night takeaway movie for when you want something totally undemanding. The original 80s version still remains the king of Bank Holiday Mondays (a throne it shares with The Great Escape, Jason and the Argonauts and any number of Bond films. Obviously.)
When it was released in 2000 Achero Mañas’ debut El Bola (Axiom Films) swept the Goyas (the Spanish equivalent of the Oscars). It’s deserving of the accolades as it’s a powerful portrayal of Pablo a tough child of the streets whose life is dogged by a violent family and a lonely existence. When he makes a new friend, he discovers that there is a possibility of redemption. With an elegant realism, some simple storytelling and a great turn from 12-year-old Juan JCanada August 14th, 2010 - When it comes to fashion and style, many people are very particular about what they purchase, whether in small corner shops, online or in big shops in rich neighborhoods. Charm junction, a shop in Langley, British Columbia has since 1999 opened its doors to quite a diversified number of style enthusiasts, providing items for people of various tastes and preferences.
Owned and operated by Karla Barton, Reid Barton and Nikki Martine, the shop that deals in handcrafted Canadian made furniture and interior design has had a rather interesting addition, the PANDORA collection. Praised by many people as the new edge jewelry option, the PANDORA collection has found a home at Charm Junction.
The PANDORA collection gained popularity after a number of the Junction clients kept asking for PANDORA items over time. At the moment, there is a whole 250 square foot PANDORA gallery that has been added to the store and as a result, Canada has been blessed with its first PANDORA shop-in-shop. Customers can now access the latest PANDORA items on the market at very friendly prices.
The PANDORA collection has plenty of items from which customers have made choices over the year. There is the Pandora Charm Collection which has Starter Bases, Sterling Silver and Gems among others. Also, there is the PANDORA Charm Groups which has Wood Beads, Enamel Charms and Zodiac Charms among others. In addition, there are Special Occasion Charms to cover birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, graduation and any other events that might come to one's mind. The PANDORA collection also covers holidays as it provides charms for holidays like Valentine's, Mother's Day, Easter, Halloween, Christmas and St. Patrick's Day.
An authorized PANDORA reseller, Charm Junction has offered its customers various ways to own their PANDORA collection including online shopping. One can be able to find their favorite PANDORA items either by color or simply by looking at the prices. The prices are divided into three; $50 or less, $50 to $100 and $100 and over. This, according to the shop owners, is simply to provide something for everyone.
