		Yet away from that package holiday haven lies another country, equally compelling for different reasons, a country which, though discovered by increasing numbers of inquisitive travellers, is still untrammelled by the more extreme excesses of modern tourism, it still manages to exude a natural charm, sense of place and unique character.
		The visit to Oporto is included in the price, and there is also the chance on the optional excursions to get to know this less-travelled land, including charming towns and villages of the northern border country and the unspoilt beauty of the scenic wine-producing valley of the River Douro.
		Portugal's second city - Porto to its friendly, hard-working citizens who claim that "Lisbon shows off, while Porto works" - is full of fascination, and not just for the production of the famous fortified wines that are sent from here to all four corners of the world.

		I know next to nothing about the Joan of Arc story, but I've liked Luc Besson's work, and the trailer was terrific, so I was looking forward to this movie, even after the bad reviews.
		The battle scenes were all well-handled, and as the warrior Joan, Jovovich was quite convincing.
		It seems to me Besson and his co-writer, Andrew Birkin, were trying to do what Kenneth Branagh did in his version of HAMLET; look at the lead character not as an icon, but as a normal human being, and try to explain their actions and behavior in that context.
