A Mildly Wild Child

Advantages: A glossy addition to the teen movie genre.
Disadvantages: It's hardly original.

...a grab bag of recent hits such as Rihanna's "Shut Up and Drive", Nelly Furtado's "Say it Right" and Adele's "Chasing Pavements" which fit the target audience and style of the movie. But the girly version of Christopher Otcasek's "Real Wild Child" is a crime against music. "Wild Child" is a film that will find its greatest favour with its intended demographic of young teens. It's a fun stab at the teen movie genre with enough action and non-threatening totty to entertain all but the most jaded fourteen year-old girl. The performances are also lively enough to stop accompanying adults nodding off. It is by no means original, but I have seen far worse versions of similar stories and it may become something of a guilty pleasure on DVD....

An amazing car seat

Advantages: safe, cosy
Disadvantages: none

...Where to buy: This car seat is readily available. You can buy it from all the shops you'd expect to be able to buy them from including Halfords, mothercare, john lewis', toys r us etc. What do they cost: prices vary depending up on offers and stores but usually this car seat retails at £100. How do they attach? This car seat is different to many of the others on the market. It clips onto a base which is attached to your car, This makes it easy to get the car seat in and out of the car without waking up the baby. The car seat base is attached by the seat belt securing it in place and a metal leg which keeps it stable. Are they comfortable? This car seat is very padded and so a nice cosy seat for your baby. It comes with a head hugger which makes it cosy and safe for a newborn. This headhugger can be removed revealing much...

Review of Maxi-Cosi Cabrio Car Seat

Brilliant infant car seat

Advantages: Excellent for safety, comfort and totally practical
Disadvantages: no negatives for this product

...I used this for my daughter and used it from birth right through to the upper weight limit which is actually higher than most other car seats in this category. She always seemed so content in it and happily napped when travelling. The sun canopy is excellent, great for protecting the baby when driving and carrying about. Sun canopy also stores away easily when not in use, remaining attatched but out for the way. I also bought the easybase which made loading and unloading baby from car very quick and easy - especially when its raining which it so often does here. Also purchased mosquito net & Raincover both excellent purchases and in the UK I certainly needed them. I liked the fact that there were internal pads that could be removed as she grew to enable more comfort and space for her within the seat. Covers are easily removed for washing...

Review of Maxi-Cosi Cabrio Car Seat

great car seat

Advantages: see rview
Disadvantages: expense, heavy

...I bought this when I had my baby as it was apparently the best on the market and I really can't find fault with it at all it has been the most reliable of our baby products and can't rate it highly enough. This car seat is different from others as it is suitable for up to 9 months whilst the majority of others are just up to 6 months. The seat is well padded and has a 'head hugger' so it is safer for newborns. This headhugger can then be removed once your baby is big enough. The straps also can be adjusted once your baby grows so that it is still safe and comfortable. The straps are easy to use- at first they were fiddly but once you have the hang of them then you know what you're doing they're easy! once you have strapped your baby in you then pull on the straps to make them tight so that your baby is safetly in place...

Review of Childs Play DVD

Wild child

Advantages: light hearted fun
Disadvantages: not for guys!

...Wild Child is the teen rom-com released August 15th 2008 starring Emma Roberts (Julia Robert's niece) & the star of previous film Nancy Drew & Nickelodeon show Unfabulous. At only 17, she's already an established actor which is of course aided by her families brilliant reputation, she's also a singer & her debut album was released in 2005. Wild Child is directed by Nick Moore. It's rated 12 & runs for approximately 98 minutes. I was a bit sceptical about buying this DVD as I have seen alot of teen films & after seeing mean girls when it first came out nothing has really compared to that for me but I decided to give it a go anyway as I was told it was good. The film is based around Poppy Moore played by Emma Roberts of Nancy Drew a spoilt teenager living in LA with her wealthy father. After she throws a wild party at her fathers house...

Wild Child - Great Fun For Girls!!!

Advantages: Great movie for teens - some good one liners.
Disadvantages: Maybe a bit too girly?? Therefor limited audience.

... ***Wild Child (2008) *** I sat down this holiday and watched this film (DVD) with my daughter and to be honest at first didn't think that much of it. However, after it being on the telly over and over for the best part of the day, it grew on me and I began to appreciate its merits. Perhaps I was a little judgemental to start with, but as my daughter laughed and danced to the movie, I began to relent a little and get caught up in the fun myself. ***What's it all about? *** The basic plot is about a teenage American rich girl (Poppy), who is driving her father to distraction with her 'wild' antics. Her mother passed away four years ago and she is quickly losing her way and her father cannot keep her behaviour under control. He takes the decision that the only option is to send her to an English boarding school; the same...

Maxi Cosi cabrio car seat

Advantages: Stylish, simple to use and slim design so light weight
Disadvantages: none

...This is a fantastic car seat for up to a year old baby. It is very user friendly with easy instructions if you can't work out certain things. It is a slim design so it is quite light and easy to carry, the seat belt is a stylish and simple design where you have to interlock the arm straps then fasten between the legs. The handle can be placed in three positions: 1. behind the seat on the floor to stop seat rocking 2. behind the baby's head so it can rock 3. In place for you to be able to carry it. The seat also comes standard with a fabric cover which attaches to the handle to protect the baby from bright sunlight, and when not in use sits snuggly back in its pouch. Personally we have it up all the time as its always to bright for the baby. Other accessories that come with it are padding for a new born baby which is used till...

Child certianly doesn't trip up

Advantages: Fantastic characterisation
Disadvantages: NONE

...Tripwire is the third novel in Lee Child's series of books written around the fictional character of Jack Reacher. Digging Swimming Pools by hand in Florida Jack Reacher is about as fit as he as ever been. Loving his life as a drifter Reacher is not looking to be found in fact since being honourably mustered out of the US military Jack Reacher has become somewhat a loner. He enjoys being as untraceable as any American can be and so does his very best to leave no paper trail. He has no driver's licence, no picture ID and no dependants. For all intents and purposes Reacher prefers to stay in the shadows and being invisible has become somewhat a habit. Meanwhile a vicious Wall Street honcho called Hook Hobie is doing his best to pull Chester Stone's business to the ground. Hobie is an ex-soldier who served in Vietnam. He's one...
