Advantages: Family fun, inoffensive Disadvantages: Not for serious movie buffs.
We had wanted to see this at the cinema, but since our local cinema never played it we had to make do with buying the DVD!
~Synopsis~
Trevor played by Brendan Fraiser is a single man who is playing host to his nephew for a few days. His nephew Sean is the son of his brother who disappeared years earlier. When he's dropped off, Sean's mum leaves a box of goodies that had belonged to Trevor's brother. Whilst perusing these items Trevor come across a copy of Jules Verne's Journey to the Centre of the Earth. Inside the book are notes made by Trevor's brother, Trevor wants to investigate further and after a quick trip to his lab (he's a volcanologist ) where he discovers some numbers match the ones his brother has written out, Trevor and Sean set off to Iceland to find out more.

Advantages: Will keep young children (very young) entertained for an hour and a half. Disadvantages: Poor script, unimaginative, corny at times.
too much technical jargon spoken very quickly, which again just encourages you to stop trying to actually follow the dialogue. It may be just me, but at times the dialogue is fuzzy and they just don?t speak clearly enough.
There were some good scenes that made you jump and also kept you in suspense. For example they realise they are standing on a very thin rock formation during one sequence.

I believe that it was possible to watch this in 3D at the cinema, which I think would have been a good experience. The film does get much better, once they reach the centre of the earth and we enter the realms of fantasy and action.
Having said this some of the special effects are a bit ropey, for instance there is scene that involves falling ...
Advantages: Comparable in price to other pregnancy tests Disadvantages: It does not always give accurate results
happened though! The blue line appeared and I?m now nearly 5 months pregnant.
During our many months of trying to get pregnant, I got very familiar with the various pregnancy tests on the market. In this review, I?m going to talk about First Response ? a test that failed me when it most mattered with (as yet) unknown consequences.
++ WHY FIRST RESPONSE? ++
First Response is so-called because it claims to be able to tell you if you are pregnant up to three days before your expected period. Most other pregnancy tests have to be done after your due date. Theoretically then, if you are desperate to know if you are pregnant, this test should be able to tell you before any others.
It works by testing for the pregnancy hormone, hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) in your urine. Most pregnant women have enough hGH in their urine as ...
