Big action, big fun

Advantages: Great for imaginative play, sturdy and brightly coloured, Made by fisher price
Disadvantages: expensive for one toy. Quite large so a big room is needed

...Fisher Prices’ Big action garage is one of the best children’s garages I have seen on the market to date. Although a little pricey for a child’s toy at £54.97 it really is money well spent. The garage comes in a box with home assembly required, this was a little daunting as the instructions came in an A4 booklet! However it took roughly half an hour to assemble and was relatively easy once I got going, everything you require is included with the exception of a Phillips screwdriver. The garage itself comprises of a ground floor level with barriers and petrol pumps, the second floor level leads onto the long spiral ramp as does the top floor level. There are two ramps, a speed ramp, with a jump at the end, which cars ‘fly’ off, ( they really do....usually straight at the cat!) this ramp also doubles as...

Last Action Hero Film Review

Advantages: Action
Disadvantages: This isn't 'The Terminator'

...So here we have a farewell to the darker, Terminator stuff of Arnie's earlier career; a tasteless, clumsy mix of action, comedy and satire; one of the biggest flops of 1993 and the 1990s in general. For all the things that people have labelled Last Action Hero down the years, however, I still can't bring myself to hate it. It's hardly amazing, I'll admit, but I'd still much rather watch this than half the action films that come out these days. It's a self-conscious parody of action movie clichés (made famous primarily by Schwarzenegger himself) and for the most part it comes across quite entertaining. There's plenty of moments concerned with Arnie blowing shit up and making witty remarks about it; and he even meets his real-life counterpart face-to-face and gets the opportunity to poke some fun at himself. Confused? Allow me to...

Action Replay For The Xbox

Advantages: Backup Saves, Down Load Saves, Fast, Easy
Disadvantages: None

...I bought this Action Replay card so that I could download saves from the internet and back up my own saves on my computer and share them online. When I purchased this action replay card it was priced at £18.99 at my local games store. Once I got the box home I opened it to find the following content Box Content: 1x Action Replay 8mb 1x USB cable connector Action Replay PC suite and instruction CD Instruction Manual All held in quite a nice metal tin Installing the software into my pc and getting the saves from online sources was easy, it took me less than 10 mins to connect the card to the computer, install the software and download saves to the 8mb memory on the card. This was all very easy and straight forward, after this I then connected the card to the Xbox to transfer the saves to the hard drive and this was easy just...

Decleor Double Action Tinted Moisturiser

Advantages: A little goes a long way, covers blemishes, helps reduce spots and redness
Disadvantages: More expensive than other brands, only comes in one colour

...I got this Decleor 'Double Action Tinted Concealer' as a brand new hand-me-down. The concealer has aquatic plant extracts and essential oil in it. Decleor is a French company based in Paris and the concealer is also made in France. The concealer has a 12 month use by date, which is good since it is only a 15ml tube. Despite being such a small tube you only have to use the tiniest bit when you use it so it should end up lasting you for months. The concealer is aimed at combination and oily skin. Decleor tend to package all of their products in an egg yolk yellow colour (with a few exceptions) I really like their packaging and it always looks a very happy colour. Despite being yellow in colour the packaging looks quite simple with their logo in black font at the top of the tube and then a description of what the product is...

Review of Decleor Aroma Purete Double Action Tinted Concealer

Immediate Action

Advantages: Very detailed but still interesting and exciting
Disadvantages: A bit too much time spent on his youth

...he goes on to describe the training and techniques used by the SAS as he served with them on 5 continents over a period of 9 years. He also recounts some of his own experiences from tours of Northern Ireland where he saw at first hand some of the atrocities carried out, not to mention being involved in several incidents himself. It is not only the action scenes that McNab describes, in fact he goes to great lengths to stress that the SAS is not just about shooting and killing, and this view he gets over very well. He also goes on to describe the effect that his profession had on his personal life with what seems like numerous failed relationships caused by his single minded determination to push himself to the limit. He does show a "gentler" side to his character with the portrayal of his daughters birth and his anquish at not...

Review of Richard Ward Stay Straight & Protect Double Action Spritz

Action Replay - MAX indeed!

Advantages: Huge cheat list, easy updating
Disadvantages: Can be slowed massively by updated cheat lists

...In the past I have been fiercely loyal to the Xplorer/Xploder series of cheat accessories by Blaze, so it took a superb piece of equipment to change my loyalties, and this is exactly what the Action Replay MAX is. Pre-loaded with codes for almost every game released previous to the AR MAX itself, straight out of the box this is an extremely useful item. However, Datel have also come up with a (at the time) unique way of updating the device; using the data stick provided with some versions of the AR MAX, the user can download the most recent set of codes from the codejunkies website, before transferring these to a memory card to be loaded whenever the AR MAX is used; when you consider the length of some codes, this is infinitely easier and less tedious than entering them one line at a time, by hand. Also unseen before (by myself, at least...

Clearasil Double action pads

Advantages: Gets rid of all the dirt
Disadvantages: Skin feels a little sticky

...(hope that just not me). Over the years I have used several types of cleansers and spot busting ointments and most of the time I had reasonable success with them. My oldest child who is 12 has now turned into a teenager and over the last few months has developed spots. They have been causing him a few problems with people saying thing to him at school you know the usual type of things look here comes spotty and pizza face and things like that. So I said that I would get him something for his spots. Knowing my son I thought I should shop around for something that was quick and easy, as it would have been easier to fly to the moon than to get my son to cleanse his skin. So of I went to the chemist and I saw the clearasil double action pads. So I bought them for him and decide in the interest of the consumer I would try then too and report...

Last Action Hero - Hope so

Advantages: The cast aren't too bad
Disadvantages: Story

...Even from the outset the premise for this film is bad - wee kiddie wink gets to have his big screen hero come to life after getting to see the latest movie before anyone else does (when his cinema owning friend lets him in late at night). This idea of magic bringing things to life belongs squarely in Disney kids film territory and to see it used as the underlying idea for an action movie just stinks. The cast are saddled with a terrible script and even though there are some big names and more cameos than an art gallery hosting a cameo exhibition (that's awful Neil and you know it). Charles Dance tries to be menacing but is doing little more than revisiting the character he created in The Golden Child (another disasterous mix of 'family' entertainment and action). It's obvious that Arnie thought this was a wise career move and might...
