Advantages: One good and one reasonable film
Disadvantages: None really

... The 6th Day (2000) Details Director: Roger Spottiswoode Main Cast: Arnold Schwarenegger, Robert Duvall, Michael Rapaport, Wendy Crewson, Tony Goldwyn Genre: Sci-Fi / Action Plot In the cliched Sci-Fi setting of the near future, cloning technology has advanced to the stage whee some scientists claim that complete human cloning is possible, however this is still technically illegal. That does not stop a sinister corporation headed by a man like Michael Drucker (Goldwyn) though and when good everyday american family man and ex-US Air Force pilot Adam Gibson (Schwarzenegger) comes home from work one day to find that a clone has replaced him. If that is not enough there are also a number of assasins keen to wipe out the remaining evidence, otherwise known as Gibson's life. He must struggle not only... Read review

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... Read review

Advantages: Simple, Fast, Fun rule system
Disadvantages: A mix of a lot genres might alienate hardcore RPGers

...Feng Shui: Action Movie RolePlaying is not about the ancient Chinese practice of placement and arrangement of space to achieve harmony with the environment. Feng Shui RPG is about roleplaying in a universe very similar to Hong Kong action cinema. Also, it's another 'indy' RPG I love that MoonBear has beaten me to it and wrote a review about it long before I even knew it existed. Feng Shui is approximately a 300 pages RPG rulebook. There are black and white pages, but most of them are full-colour. In fact, colouring is one of the most distinguishing quality of the rulebook. Page margins are cleverly coloured, without obstructing the text or getting tiring to the eyes. The rulebook start off with a couple of intro pages, and then game mechanics and the background story are seamlessly blended. There is a section of the rulebook... Read review

Advantages: Indicator bristles are a good idea
Disadvantages: Nowhere near as good as it looks, and it could hurt your gums

...And I'm a bit cross too! I’d always been pleased with the Oral B toothbrushes, and I’ve been buying them since around 20 years ago, when I remember my dentist recommended them to me. It may even be longer ago that that, but I’m showing my age here! I haven’t used Oral B toothbrushes exclusively – they weren’t always even that easy to find in the shops in the earlier days. But I did prefer them, they always seemed to be that little bit softer, more comfortable to use, and there was a good range of sizes (OralB 40 was for small mouths, OralB 60 for bigger mouths – I probably don’t need to tell you which I am) So I bought an Oral B CrossAction toothbrush around 2 weeks ago, and I’m here to let you know what I think about it. This is where I think I need to introduce the ® sign... Read review

Advantages: Good bottle design.
Disadvantages: Doesn't remove waterproof mascara very effectively.

...You might have seen my recent review on another Boots branded eye make-up remover. I mentioned that when I received a free Boots voucher to spend, I couldn't decide between that remover and another one - Boots No7 Daily V Dual Action Eye Make-Up Remover. I opted for the other one, and although I was really pleased with it, when I received another free voucher to spend (I shop in Boots a lot!), I thought that I would give this one a try, so that I could compare the two eye make-up removers. Boots No7 Daily V Dual Action Eye Make-Up Remover comes in a rectangular plastic bottle which is 13cm high and just over 4cm wide. The lid is as wide as the bottle, and is made of white plastic. It has the No7 logo on it, on a gold plate. When you take off the lid, you can see that the neck of the bottle is 2cm wide, however a plastic insert... Read review

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... Read review

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... Read review

Advantages: WWE Alternative
Disadvantages: Not Enough Star Power!

...despite having former WCW Talent it was in no way as sleazy as WCW and the words Total Non-Stop Action rang true as 90% of the show is in the ring and not set in the back of the arena doing interviews as WCW & WWE usually are, don't get me wrong there are of course interviews but I think the longest interview I have seen was around about 2 minutes maximum as TNA-NWA seem to focus on Wrestling more than anything else. Up until recently the only way to see TNA-NWA was via pay-per-view but I believe that they now do regular TV shows which are not pay-per-view and only hold a couple of PPV's per month. On 4.6.2004 TNA-NWA debuted their new show Impact a one hour show eminating from Universal Orlando Resort, even though we are still yet to see this show aired over here in the UK I believe they started the evolution of wrestling by using a 6...

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

...as 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... Read review

Advantages: Total Non-Stop Wrestling!
Disadvantages: None!

...TNA-NWA is a company which stems from the original NWA federation and which is ran by wrestling promotor Jerry Jarrett and son former WWE superstar Jeff Jarrett. TNA-NWA has been going for a couple of years over in America and has now just made its mark in the UK thanks to The Wrestling Channel on Sky 427 and I have to say when I first heard of it I was expecting an alternative to WCW which closed down in 2001 which has a lot of the old WCW supertars and as well as WWE former superstars such as Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, Jeff Hardy & Raven. Upon watching the first episode when it arrived over here in the UK I was very much impressed as it was not quite the product I was expecting despite having former WCW Talent it was in no way as sleazy as WCW and the words Total Non-Stop Action rang true as 90% of the show is in the ring...
