Flip out and Flop down

Advantages: Nice concept
Disadvantages: Not tough enough for toddlers

...Thomas and friends flip out sofa My reasons for purchase I bought my son the Thomas pull out sofa when we moved into out home when he was just over a year old. At the time he was Thomas mad and I thought he could have it downstairs as a seat but also as he got older it would work as a fold out bed if any of my friends with young children stayed. Availability I purchased mine from Argos for £19.99 but it is also is available at Amazon for £20.49 and am now £24.99 at Argos. What is it? It is an inflatable sofa that has a removable cover that can be machine washed .It has Thomas and his friends on the cover. Size Height26, Width68, Depth105cm Inflation was easy enough though exhausting as I didn?t have a pump at the time. The sofa folds up like a normal sofa bed although isn?t as sturdy as...

The Flip Mino Is An Easy To Use And Highly Portable Product.

Advantages: Versatile, ease of use, and nicely priced.
Disadvantages: I haven't come across one yet!

...Hi there! I am the proud owner of a Flip Mino. I have had it for about 6 months now and continue to be amazed by how well it fits in with my daily life. I recieved it as a Christmas present and have used it probably 2 to 3 times a day since. I can personally attest to the fact that this product is a wonderful gift for all ages. Anyone from a five year old to someone upwards of 60 can plug it into the computer with its handy flip out usb connector and follow the easy steps to be editing and posting and emailing movies in minutes. It is perfect for children who are fascinated by everything and who will produce heart warming clips that they and there parents can cherish for years to come, to teens who want to record their bands newest hit or a message to their sweetheart, to adults who can take down notes or record important...

Down with this film!

Advantages: I like the idea, great background
Disadvantages: The story bored me, McGregor is bland...

...In the 1960s, Barbara Novak is a best-selling author of a book called Down With Love, which explains to women how they can get by in life without a man, except for casual sex. Journalist Catcher Block is a lothario who is dying to prove her wrong. However, by alienating Barbara before he's even met her, Cather puts his chances of an interview into disarray. And then he sees a life-size photo of Barbara and realising that she is far from being the old spinster that he expected her to be, decides that he would like to make a play for her instead. Aided by his editor, Peter MacMannus, he puts his best foot forward. Will Barbara see through him and prove that men really are a waste of time? Or will she fall for his manly charms? Based on the Doris Day and Rock Hudson so-called sex comedies of the 1960s, this film is a real mixture...

Review of Down With Love (DVD)

Smooth down!!!

Advantages: Does exactly what it says on the bottle!
Disadvantages: Can be a bit expensive, however see review for offers!

...If anyone has read my previous reviews then they will realise how much I spend on hair products to tame my frizz! Well I have found a new and great range of products by redken. I usually use some of redkens hair products to help straighten my hair (see previous reviews) I recently fancied trying some new shampoo and conditioner, as i'm a firm believer that your hair can get used to products therefore it being a good idea to alternate them. So I looked around at redken shampoo's as conditioners as I reguarly use their styling products which are great. I came across their smooth down range, which redken states, "These highly specialised ingredients simultaneously reinforce your hair's inner structure while dramatically improving its outer appearance, thus giving you the power to transform your hair. " so I thought this...

Falling Down

Advantages: psychological, michael douglas, social realism, dark humour
Disadvantages: depressing

...must first make a purchase to be granted change. Fair enough, but eighty five cents for a soda doesn't leave him enough money for the phone call; grabbing a baseball bat from behind the counter, D-FENS proceeds to bash every overpriced item in the place in a fit of rage, then agrees a price of 50 cents for the soda, pays for it, and walks off, with his anger subsided. As the story unravels we, the audience, are forced to make a distinction between an ordinary man and a deranged psychopath. Mid-way through things are taken to a new, hilarious level when D-FENS pulls a gun on the irritating manager of a fast food restaurant after he refuses him breakfast for being two minutes over the deadline. Falling Down could quite easily be pigeon holed as a black comedy with its often cartoonishly over the top scenes of violence, but it is its...

Black Hawk Down

Advantages: Excellent Film
Disadvantages: Not many

...Recently there was an article which really sparked my emotions, both sadness and anger, surprisingly it was in The Sun (the most professional and reliable of the daily papers) the article was on the sate of Somalia and the history of the wars going on in the country. Quoted in the article was a film called Black Hawk Down, which I had heard of but never, had the opportunity to watch and had no clue about, later on when in discussion on the article, somebody brought the film up and highly recommended it. Buying the Film I bought the film in Blockbuster when I was returning a rental; it cost £4 which I thought was highly reasonable for a DVD, especially one which was recommended and according to the front of the DVD won two Oscars, and looked to carry an exciting cast set. Director The film is directed by a man called Ridley...

The Downs

Advantages: Very friendly and helpful
Disadvantages: Having to pay to park - but still cheap!

...The Downs is run by Kate and Ed, and occupies a beautiful spot on the seafront at Babbacoombe. I was new to the area on arrival and was stunned by the view from the bedroom window, across the "Downs", a grassy area on the sea front above the cliffs. We had a balcony overlooking the Downs, the beach and right across the bay. The room was very well laid out, with a dressing table, wardrobe and a big double bed. We had a flat screen TV, with Freeview, and an internal telephone system. Kate and Ed could be reached at any time by dialling 0, any other room could be called, and it was possible to request the ability to make outside line calls at a reasonable charge. The shower room was small, but well laid out. The shower was exactly the same model we have at home, with great water pressure! The shower tray filled a bit during use, but...

Take the holiday genre, flip it upside down and drop it

Advantages: Humour, easy to read, pictures, a delight to read
Disadvantages: At full price it's a little high

...in the lake district that I especially enjoyed having lived there almost all my life. Although this does take the ?holiday guide? genre and does that little special thing of flipping it on it's head... and dropping it violently from a great height, taking the dizzy remains and going with it in a warped and almost reversed guide of holidays. Though despite how poor the holidays regularly seem there are parts he seems to enjoy (Seymours in the US which everyone else seemed to hate sticks out) and there's other parts that just seem to be about poo (?Dog poop hill? being a memorable section of one of his US trips. Others however seemed more painful than anything else, the title of the book coming from being attacked by a jellyfish in the sea as just one of a few examples of poor Karl in pain. Added to the written work of the holidays...

Flipped Upside Down in a Race Against Time.

Advantages: Exciting Adventure, Disaster Movie.
Disadvantages: Not great Special Affects Very 70's!

...The Poseidon Adventure, 1972, running time 177 mins approx. This weekend channel 5 showed the 1972 classic The Poseidon Adventure, I was so excited as it has been ages since I have seen it and I am planning on watching the latest version Poseidon opening in cinemas this week. The Story: It is New Years Eve and the S.S. Poseidon is heading from New York to Athens when a Sub Sea Earthquake in Crete sends a massive tidal wave heading straight towards the ship and turns it completely upside down. All the guests are in the ballroom celebrating the New Year when they are flipped upside down, the ceiling has now become the floor and floor complete with upside down table and chairs and Christmas tree is now the ceiling. A lot of lives were lost in the turn but a lot are still alive, Reverend Frank Scott has an idea for their escape. As...
