Wrigleys Dancing on Ice?

Advantages: Long-lasting flavour which is pleasantly refreshing
Disadvantages: If you don't like the flavour of artificial sweetener this is not fo you

...After trying Wrigleys Ice Liquid Burst and disliking it enormously, I decided to try the normal Wrigleys Extra Ice to see if it was any better. I usually chew Wrigleys Extra Peppermint chewing gum, so I was interested to see if this was an improvement on that. I bought a pack of 8 which was the only option available in the supermarket I went to, but as my husband and I chew gum regularly, it was not bad value for money ? which I?ll go into in a bit more detail later. -Appearance- Rather than traditional strips of Wrigleys chewing gum, this comes in small rectangular lozenges with a hard casing. Each piece is a flecked pale blue in colour. -Flavour- It has quite a strong mint flavour, with a peppery taste which lasted quite a long time. Not so sharp that it blew my head off but enough to give a bit of a zing. This chewing gum...

Review of Wrigleys Extra Ice

Just Dance and make a fool of yourself

Advantages: Great fun, intensive workout
Disadvantages: No real structure

...Introduction Dance games have been popular in arcades and on consoles now for the past decade. All previous games have relied on the player placing their feet in certain positions in time to the music. Just Dance for the Wii however brings a much needed change of focus to this genre of game, now your hand and arm movements are they key to big scores but does it work or will it just sell thousands of copies to people desperate to lose a few pounds after binge eating over Christmas? Getting Started I actually bought this game for my 9 year old daughter who fancies herself as a bit of a dancer. She loaded the game up with excitement, not really knowing what to expect. The first thing the game requests you do is a warm up. This is a nice gentle introduction to the game which is designed to get your muscles working in...

Dancing on ice....

Advantages: Great fun and keeps you fit...
Disadvantages: If you've got no balance, it hurts!

...MY EXPERIENCE Well this has been something i've wanted to do since i was a kid but never have done and then when Celebrity Dancing on Ice started a couple of months ago the t.v, i got got itchy feet and wanted to have a blast at t it. Finally i managed to persuade my mates to come with me for a laugh, we drove over to Tamworth to the Snowdome one saturday afternoon. Just the four of us went. Two of my friends and my friends 5 yr old son. Well we had a right laugh, it's alot harder than it looks! Just getting on the ice was hard enough, then we had to cross from one side to the other to get to the mini rink in the middle,which is for begginers while people were racing past on the chikane. The Ice track as a whole is a 250 metre radius. Within that is a mini rink, a large rink and a surrounding chikane. The mini rink is a great size...

Review of Snowdome, Tamworth

The icing on the cake

Advantages: sweet, attractive, adaptable
Disadvantages: /

...When I was younger my grandma and I always used to bake cakes at the weekend. My favourites were the Coffee cake or the Marble cake. We always seemed to make large, share sized cakes fitted for all, but never little fairy cakes or little cup cakes. Though now when I get the urge to bake on my own, I tend to make little single sized cakes which are fine for dishing out. To ice them, I always use Silver Spoon icing sugar, as I do feel it is the best around! Packaging: The icing sugar comes in a cardboard box. One thing that attracts me to it is its pretty pink colour - it may be sexist but I do think this is aimed at females more so. On the front there is a big spoon image, hence the name! When you open it up you will find a little cardboard style bag. Opening this a puff of white powder will come out so you need to be careful. It is...

The Grace of Legendary Dancers

Advantages: Well worth the money for tickets, amazing viewing, mind blowing routines!!
Disadvantages: Would have loved to see Jane & Chris dance Bolero again...aaah well, I have my memories!

...Dancing on Ice Live A little piece of my childhood, relived?. I was ten years old when, on the 14th February, Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean skated their way into the record books when they took Gold at the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo. Today, in preparation for writing this review, I watched their performance all the way through for the first time in 23 years. Half a box of tissues later (and it?s not just because I?m pregnant and weeping at everything, honest!) I?m finding it quite hard to express how beautiful and how moving that Bolero routine is to watch, even now, so many years later. At the time, coming off the ice to rows of perfect scores, armfuls of flowers and with a couple of shiny gold medals to collect, Christopher Dean was reported as saying that it was the most emotional routine they had ever performed...

Lt Dunbar Dances With Wolves

Advantages: amazing acting and storyline, gorgeous scenery and music
Disadvantages: May be too long for some

...Dunbar was great. He started off as a proper US Army soldier and was always turned out correctly in his uniform but as the film moved on it was nice to see him change and mellow. He manage to show so many different sides to his character and I loved watching him grow. He worked very well with all of the actors playing the Sioux Indians. The Sioux Indians came across in a very good light and I loved watching and learning how they loved and took care of each other. There were some aspects of them which I was not too keen on, like when they painted their horses for battle and the scary looking dances they did around their fires but this was their way of life so I had to accept it. The main Indians which we saw were Holy man and the white woman who was raised by the Indians. They gave excellent performance sand really moved me at times...

Review of Dances With Wolves (DVD)

Better than expected!

Advantages: Chance to boo people you hate, good value for money
Disadvantages: A lot like the tv show, some parts were a bit boring

...I wasn't exactly overjoyed when my mother told me she had booked tickets to see Dancing on Ice live, don't get me wrong I love watching people parading around in lycra as much as the next man, but it's not really my sort of thing. Seeing it as an opportunity to miss school and go on a shopping trip, I was easily swayed towards this show. Dancing on ice has, for a third year running, captivated tv audiences, often pulling in over 10million viewers in this country alone. Gold medal winners Torvill and Dean were the most appropriate choice to coach, choreograph and pass on their wisdom to an assortment of singers, sports stars, actors and presenters in this winning formula of a tv show. It was only natural that a live show would follow to give the viewers a chance to see these legends skate. Arriving at the venue (we saw the show...

Review of Dancing on Ice Live Tour

Keep on dancing

Advantages: Enjoyable movie, with a good cast and good dance scenes
Disadvantages: Somewhat predictable, overuse of steriotypes

...The Story: Sara Johnson is an aspiring young ballet dancer, well on her way to making it big. That is, until her mother gets into a car crash on the way to an audition Sara made her mum promise to attend. Distraught from her mum?s death and devastated from her poor audition, Sara is forced to move to Chicago and live with her father. It?s quite a culture shock to Sara and she had trouble fitting in ? a lone white face in a predominantly black school, where security checks and body searches are carried out before you?re allowed into class. A friendly face, Chenille, takes Sara under her wing and introduces her to her brother, Derek. Sara may be an established ballet dancer, but she doesn?t know any hip-hop to fit into the local dance scene. Derek befriends Sara and becomes her dance teacher. Their relationship develops due to their love...

Review of Save The Last Dance (DVD)

Disney On Ice

Advantages: Family Fun Film
Disadvantages: none really

...This is certainly a film I would never normally watch, but after all the horrors and action films I have seen of recent, I really wanted to watch something different. And what better but a good Disney Movie. I had overlooked this DVD time and time again in our local video rental shop. And was very pleased I gave it a go. Even if it did make me feel a bit girly for renting it. THE ICE PRINCESS******* This Disney movie is about is about a very intelligent high school girl who lacks a bit of fun and beauty in her life. Her mother played by Joan Cusack, is a very dominating women who wants her to do very well with her studies. But Casey, played by Michelle Trachtenberg, dreams of something more. She has a hidden talent for Ice skating, and dreams of becoming figure-skating champion, much against her mothers wishes. Kim Cattrall...
