HENSVIK changing table/cabinet - Great idea!

Advantages: Double use as a cabinet and baby changing table, inexpensive, easy to assemble
Disadvantages: Flaking paint on the changing table after a while

...I bought the Hensvik changing table/cabinet designed by Carina Bengs a couple of years ago from IKEA for £85. I was expecting my second baby and loved the idea of the double use in this piece of furniture. First, it can be used as a changing table for your baby and when one is no longer required, the changing shelf can be removed and a second book shelf can be easily fitted into a slot above and there you go: you have a lovely looking book cabinet. The assembly was fairly simple. The instructions came in true IKEA style with pictures but the assembly was easily manageable with those. The Allen key and all screws were included, so you can unwrap, assemble and use. The assembled size measures as follows: Width: 75 cm Depth: 41 cm Height: 161 cm The item has a very good size and fits for example in my house into an alcove...

THERE'S AN ALIEN'S HEAD ON MY FILING CABINET

Advantages: See review
Disadvantages: See review

...The HP 710 is a multi-function printer, scanner, copier and fax. My belief has always been that, unless you spend an awful lot of money, equipment like this tends to be versatile but not terribly efficient. So how does the HP 710 shape up? LOOKS The 710 is a curious looking piece of equipment. Moulded in curvy grey plastic, there is a pull-out tray at the front that holds papers as they are printed or copied out – this looks rather like a giant mouth, and sat on top of my filing cabinet the whole arrangement looks rather like a decapitated alien’s head. There is a small panel to the left-hand side that contains all the control buttons, and the standard number buttons, but the rest of the unit is plain. Initially, I wasn’t so keen on the design, but I have warmed to it and now quite like it. INSTALLATION...

Movies For Halloween - The Cabinet Of Dr Caligari

Advantages: One of those "greatest film ever" regulars, and with good reason.
Disadvantages: None.

...There is something inherently eerie, otherworldly, about silent pictures. Whatever the merit of the film itself, the faint flickering of the frames (however good the restoration), the grain, the occasionally over-theatrical performances (I'm generalising horribly here, I know. There is nothing theatrical about many of the performances in, for example, Benjamin Christensen's masterpiece Haxan), even the nature of the musical soundtrack, disembodied and carrying on with little synchronisation with movements, actions onscreen... Eerie, yes. And how much more so when these elements are wrapped around a picture already reeking of the uncanny? A picture, perhaps, like Robert Weine's 1919 The Cabinet Of Dr Caligari. The Cabinet Of Dr Caligari is a masterpiece. Routinely propping up the top end of Best Films Ever Made lists, it is...

Rockford Files

Advantages: good stories, good memories
Disadvantages: may be dated for some

...get this stwait" line was going to come up at some point, and that he had the puzzle solving mind of a mensa genius, he would also always get his man (or woman). And so it was the same with the Rockford Files, we always new that he would eventually get his criminal and that he will be back in the next show with more witty one liners. The good thing about the Rockford Files is that the main Character was "human" in that he didn't win every single fight; he wasn't a goody two shoes, sometimes even getting involved in the villain's plans. In other words he was flawed, almost an anti-hero in some cases although ultimately his heart was in the right place and he was charming with it, we certainly warmed to him and wished him the best every time. Other characters that make the show are Sergeant (later lieutenant) Dennis Becker (Joe Santos...

The Wolverine Files - A comprehensive & visually impressive book

Advantages: Well presented and packed with information, facts and great original artwork.
Disadvantages: Can't really find any faults with this book !

...In 1974 the character "Wolverine" made his debut into the Marvel Universe on the last page of Hulk #180 ... and these days Wolverine has become a well loved character. Over the years he became a regular and popular member of the X-Men line up and with a vast number of his own comics and graphic novels the character's popularity quickly grew. This year saw the first Wolverine movie hit the silver screen ... and with a sequel already planned it would appear that Wolverine will be around for many more years to come. The Wolverine Files is a fantastic book which presents the complete story of Wolverine. With an impressive hardback slipcase (with Wolverine's trademark claw marks cutting through it) this book is presented as a series of files assembled by intelligence officers at Marvel's "Supreme Headquarters International...

Mystery Case Files Millionheir.........

Advantages: Good gameplay, good storyline
Disadvantages: Puzzles can get a bit annoying when you cant find something and you have used all your hints

...Mystery Case Files: Millionheir is a game that I would recommend quite highly. You are a detective and you are set missions in which you have to find items amongst a whole load of others...a bit like wheres wally but not with wallys lol!! Mr Phill T Rich disappears from his mansion and is presumed dead, you have to look for the rightful heir to his fortune. I do not recommend playing this game if you have an headache though because it just doesn't help lol... You have to find special items as you progress through the levels in order to get to the next, for example you will need the flashlight to look in the rooms when the lightbulb blows but then for the next part you may need to back and find batteries for your flashlight as they do tend to run out! You will also be given an x-ray scanner to let you look through things to...

The X-Files .. what X-File?!?

Advantages: Good crime thriller, plenty of suspense!
Disadvantages: Not really an X-File film, poor ending!

...The X-Files: I Want to Believe is the second movie to be created following the hit tv show The X-Files, made famous back in the 90's. The movie was released this year, and is directed by Chris Carter, who also directed and produced the original series. The movie stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, and also sees Billy Connolly, Amanda Peet and rap & tv-star Exzibit appear. When an FBI agent goes missing, the only leads the FBI have come from a disgraced priest, Father Joseph Grissman (Billy Connolly), trying to redeem himself from his sinful past, who claims to have psychic visions of the occurrence. Baffled, and with no other leads to go on, the FBI turn to ex-agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson). Mulder, who is wanted by the FBI on other charges, agrees to help when all charges against him are...

X files or pass me a file

Advantages: Brings back much loved characters like skinner, scene views were good in the outback
Disadvantages: poor acting, contradictory storyline, unbelievable relationships

...This is a film (they're second to date) based on the very popular X Files series that was on during the 1990's. This series had an amazing series of investigations into the paranormal by two FBI special agents. The skeptic Special Agent Dana Skulley (Gillian Anderson) and the believer Special Agent Fox Mulder (David Duchovny). (Interesting fact here it the other way round in real life Gillian Anderson is the Believer). The story starts as a FBI agent goes missing, this escalates as several others go missing. A discgraced priest played by Billy Connolly leads them to an arm, who claims he has psychic visions. Mulder and Skulley are brough back into the loop by Amanda Peets FBI Agent, who looked through they're old files, which were rubbished by the FBI and Mulder was exiled while Skulley became a doctor in a Church hospital, which is...

Files away hard skin with ease!

Advantages: Miracle worker
Disadvantages: None

...Before a visit into Boots, I was recommended the use of a foot file to cure my cracked and dry heals. The thought of filing my foot filled me with pain and I was reluctant to try it. However, after being advised by a representative at Boots that a foot file, along with a heal balm, would be good for my feet, I took the plunge. I would advise that you use this file when your feet are dry to begin with because I can imagine that filing wet feet when you are not used to its effect may lead to very painful feet! Anyway, after just 1 week of filing once a day and covering my feet in foot balm, my feet are hugely improved and I am very happy with the result! I would recommend that once you file your hard skin down to a manageable level that you downgrade your file to something like a pumice stone which would be more careful on the feet....

The X Files - Season 3 on DVD

Advantages: Various clips on foreign languages.. behind the scenes... endless features..
Disadvantages: Box can damage easily

...Collectors Edition Series 3 DVD Boxset - Thanks Mum! This has got to be one of my more appreciated Christmas presents this year. (Oh, apart from the fasionable Grandad slippers and endless supply of shower gel etc etc...) Now, I'm not going to start explaining what the X Files are, as I'm sure you all know. When, somewhere back in 2000 I bought the first boxset, I asked when the next one would be released, and was told that they have no intentions of releasing any further boxsets, but here I sit with the third one. This boxset is an absolute must for any true fans of the show, as it includes every single episode from the third season of the X Files. The price certianly does vary, as I have seen it sell for as much as £89.99 in the over-prices music store, but also have seen it prices as little as £65.99 in my preferred local...
