Art Attack?

Advantages: Keeps the action going.
Disadvantages: Unoriginal, poor performances.

...74. Kickboxer 3: The Art of War (1992) This all feels a little like déjà vu, especially after watching American Ninja 3. Once again there is a fighting tournament in a tropical location. This time Rio De Janeiro. An American kickboxing champion, David Sloan, arrives with his sensei, Xian, in tow. On first sight Xian looked a little like Lee Van Cleef, or maybe that was the spectre of 1984 TV series Master Ninja repeating on me. Either way, it helps signify that this was the tale end of a long running era of budget American martial arts films and television shows. The first classic cliché comes quickly when the hapless heroes are mugged by a small Brazilian boy, Marcos, and his sister, Isabella. Naturally, after a long chase through the back alleys of Rio and the kicking of same random thugs, they befriend the knife wielding...

Rat Attack!

Go on, Attack yourself...!

Advantages: Get fit, get toned, shape up, start enjoying exercise
Disadvantages: A lot of sweat is usually involved

...Before I go any further, for sample clips of a class and more info, go to: www.squidoo.com/bodyattack INTRODUCTION: The idea of going along to something called 'Body Attack' doesn't sound incredibly appealing, does it? Well, let me tell you, once you've had a go, the sense of achievement and sense of 'you've done something that is good for you', makes you feel GRRrrrreat. So, what is it?...Body Attack is a high energy, intense cardio vascular exercise programme (created by fitness company, BTS) that is run in many gyms across the UK. THE PROGRAMME: The programme is specially designed by BTS (Body Training Systems, which are part of The Les Mills company). Basically, they create the exercise routines (or 'programmes' as they known) and train instructors across the UK, how to teach them, who then in turn, run...

Unsinkable Attack

Advantages: Clever plot, twists and turns
Disadvantages: Not as funny as previous work

...which are being carried out in order to set up a seat for Psychic research at the local university. He is stumped when Lafayette seems to be passing all of the tests and can't seem to work out what scam he is running..... This is a fairly clever story and looks at the scams that psychics employ to trick people into parting with their money. There are also some attacks on popular press and politicians which is generally to be expected from Brookmyre. Although the book was enjoyable enough, it just wasn't as funny as his other work (in my opinion). The black humour is still present but it just didn't grab me as his books normally do. "A Big Boy Did It and Ran Away" had me laughing aloud on the train and although this was funny it just wasn't the same type of humour. I still enjoyed reading this book but for me it wasn't his best and I'm glad...

10 out of 10 Attack Sub

Advantages: Superb graphics, great sound/voice overs, interesting missions, and very complex
Disadvantages: Needs a lot of patience, difficult AI, slow movement of graphics, and no multiplayer

...The first submarine simulation game I played when I was a kid and despite its retro status, I still find myself playing it once in a while. Even though I mainly played the Amiga version when I was a kid, the Mega Drive version is literally the same and I'm currently trying it out again years later through an emulator. Plotline Taking place during the Cold War between the USA and the Soviet Union. 688 Attack Sub uses the what if scenarios and shows the worst what could have happened all those years ago. Starting from minor threats between the two countries and eventually turning into a world war. Gameplay The entire interface gives you that instant feeling that you're inside a submarine and in total command. As you can see from one of my pictures, there are several stations that need to be commanded and waiting for orders...

Attack your fat

Advantages: for all levels of fitness, well explained
Disadvantages: not the latest music

...Last summer, after seeing my holiday pictures, I decided it was time to get fit and lose some weight. So I fished out some old aerobics videos, which were fine but the one I used most was a little bit short. I wanted one that had a few sections so I could do half an hour, 40 minutes or 50 minutes if I wished. I used to use Rosemary Conley?s Flat Stomach Plan so when I saw her Fat Attack Workout video on Amazon marketplace I decided to treat myself to that. I have recently found this video on sale on Rosemary Conley?s website (http://www.rosemary-conley.co.uk) for £5.99 and the DVD is just £9.99 including postage. I chose Rosemary Conley because I find her routines are well-explained, the music is upbeat and the exercises are easily achieved. Not only that but she tends to have different people doing different levels of exercise so if...

The Art of Death

Advantages: Good second half, some interesting details
Disadvantages: Clunky plot, a bit meandering

...halfway through it was much better. The main character is Adelia - "The Mistress of the Art of Death" - i.e a forensic pathologist. Her struggle to conceal her profession is quite prominent in the plot as female doctors were unusual in the twelfth century. She is helping Simon of Naples discover the killer through the clues left on the bodies of the victims. I found this quite interesting although I'm not sure how realistic it would be in the twelfth century. The plot does wander a bit as it is so concerned with Adelia and her origins and training. The character of Rowley (the King's so-called tax inspector) is ok but the romance seems to have been thrown in as a bit of an afterthought and didn't add anything to the story for me. Mansur and Gyltha offered some light relief as the servants as did Gyltha's grandson Ulf. Simon of Naples was...

When Burlys Attack

Advantages: Some innovative stuff, some good lyrics, the singles are cool
Disadvantages: Some songs get a bit mediocre, too many effects for my liking anyway

...lead singer/guitarist Paul Draper's and bass player Stove King's shared fondness of acts like ABC and Duran Duran. Formed in 1995 by Draper and King when they met at Wrexham Art College, the band (originally named 'Grey Lantern') consisted of the duo with local pub manager Dominic Chad on lead guitar, and a wide range of different drummers. The band soon changed their name to "A Man Called Sun" (from a Verve B-side) after being told that their original name was, well, crap, which had to be further shortened to the much more catchy 'Mansun' due to copyright reasons. It wasn't until after their first single 'Take It Easy Chicken' was released and made it onto the Radio 1 playlist that they recruited their drummer Andy Rathbone. And so they continued until the release of their debut 'Attack Of The Grey Lantern' album in 1997, a title harking...

Attack !!!!!!! All Cellulite & Stretch Marks Insight..

Advantages: Really help reduce cellulite, stretch marks and firms you up.
Disadvantages: Price and will not get rid of them totally.

...Lancome Slim Success Anti Cellulite Attack Serum, well this is a name and a half. When I first heard about this product I thought that is was just a gimmick that many women and even men would try to try and loose the dreaded cellulite many of us have. If like me you have cellulite you will try anything just to see if it will work, which is exactly what I did. I had never heard for this cellulite attacking serum before, but the sales assistant was very pushy and insisted that this was a fantastic product. Yeah I thought looking her up and down all slim and pristine, bet she didn't even know what cellulite looked like never mind tried this product out. So in two minds I parted with my money and bought this recommended cellulite miracle serum. At first I was very sceptical about this serum, because I always thought that once...
