Any Old Iron?

Advantages: It's great fun and has solide direction, writing and performances.
Disadvantages: The peripheral characters are unremarkable.

...Billionaire industrialist Tony Stark has made his fortune creating evermore innovative weapons. But when he is captured by insurgents while showcasing his latest invention, he is ordered to build a devastating weapon for his captors. Instead he constructs a high-tech suit of armour that he uses to escape. Returning home he decides to devote his money and ingenuity to help mankind. He modifies the suit, increasing its powers to include super-strength and the ability to fly and superhero Iron Man is born? Actor-turned-director Jon Favreau takes a step up from his kids films ("Elf" and "Zathura") for this thoroughly enjoyable superhero romp that never takes itself too seriously. His visuals are glossy and the effects, of which there are many, are suitably impressive. He understands cinema as spectacle and makes the most of his big budget...

Review of Iron Man

THE REAL IRON BREW

Advantages: Effects are quick to work
Disadvantages: tastes awful

...It's often the case isn't it, it's only when you are at your lowest and at the stage of physically dropping that you seek any nutritional help. This was certainly the scenario I experienced, whilst three months pregnant I felt as if I literally could not clamber out of bed in the morning, absolutely zero energy and in fact felt like "a shadow" instead of a physical being ... Rewind back to when I first started feeling like this, and I ventured to my GP to see what they could offer me. In the past I have had trouble with anaemia and so fully expected to be prescibed some form of iron. So, I was rather surprised when I left the surgery with no sign of a prescription whatsover. The advice given was along the lines of "feeling like this is a normal occurence during pregnancy, just one of those things .." This point of view infuriates...

Review of Floradix Liquid Iron

Iron out your problems

Advantages: High quality herbal and fruit supplement
Disadvantages: Short storage life once opened

...Following a recent bout of flu my mother-in-law recommended that I bought a bottle of Floradix to help combat the extreme tiredness that I was feeling. Every movement was an effort and I was feeling as though I had done ten rounds with a heavyweight boxer! I had lost all my appetite and as a consequence had survived on very little sustenance no wonder my body was complaining. I found that it helped me ?get back on my feet? again and was a very useful aid to my recovery. What is it? Floradix is a food supplement which supplies the goodness needed by the body to sustain fitness and health. It is bought in liquid form. It is made from numerous herbs, fruits, vitamins, yeast, ocean kelp and organic iron. Vitamins C, B6, B12, Thiamin and Riboflavin are a part of the supplement and each providing a part of the recommended daily...

Review of Iron Man (DVD)

Iron Man

Advantages: Good story, fun characters
Disadvantages: None

...For anyone who reads comics you will know that Iron Man is a Marvel creation. I didn't, my comic knowledge goes about as far as Spiderman and Superman so I was unaware that Iron Man was taken from this genre. The Iron Man Movie was released in 2008. It is a superhero film and is in very much the same ilk as Spiderman and Superman, good triumphing over evil, the dastardly baddie, the epic battle (pow, kerpow, take that@!!***< etc). Iron Man's alter ego is Tony Stark, a billionaire industrialist who has made his money in the company firm, Stark Industries, selling weapons. He is your stereotypical player, smooth, suave and loves his toys and gadgets. During a business trip to Afghanistan to showcase his latest weapons he is kidnapped and held in captivity. He is also wounded by one of his own company's bombs, which knocks him...

Review of Iron Man (DVD)

The best iron I have had

Advantages: Self cleaning iron
Disadvantages: none at all

...We bought this after years of just having a little travel one it was when my partner changed jobs and had to wear a shirt and tie that we went and bought a better iron and picked up this one I think was on sale at the time which made us go for it. This iron has heaps I like about it my one is digital settings on this which I find is better you still have the knob bit you turn to different settings but the digital display is the temp of the iron. Jet of steam iron 40 g/min Continuous steam output which is good for the nightmare of a shirt that just wont iron out it will never beat you with this iron.

Review of Breville IR23 Digital Steam IRON

Frustration Problems Ironed Out.

Advantages: Quick,takes a 1/4 of the time now. Simple.
Disadvantages: A little Bulky.

...There are I know some strange people out there who like ironing. I feel sure there can't be many of you, and to enjoy it you have either had some kind of therapy or your on something, in my opinion anyway, because I think it's got to be one of the most boring chores going. It makes me want to scream. It's like Groundhog day, you just know that the feeling of a good job well done is short lived because those muck monsters will wear it, have it ground in dirt and back in the wash before you can say"Tumble and Fold". My muck monsters think a fairy comes and does the laundry when they are not looking. I feel it's almost my public duty to let you know about my Godsend. It's the 'Tefal Steam Generator Express'. Expensive at £100, but boy is it worth it, read on and discover why it's a must for all ironing haters out there. (Read on...

Review of Tefal Steam Station Iron

GHD Iron Oil

Advantages: smells nice, attractive bottle
Disadvantages: the price, it doesnt do as it says, leaves hair very greasy

...your hair and then press the pump to get an even but light spraying, it is then a good idea to comb through your hair before styling so that it evens it out and covers all of your hair! To use on wet hair, spray in the same way before blow-drying and then style as usual. When using ceramic straightening irons after using the iron oil spray, you will hear a fizzling noise while straightening and steam will come of off your hair as you style so don?t worry ? its not smoke!! It is wise to avoid your eyes when you are spraying! (trust me!) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Claims ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The bottle makes several claims, which I will evaluate individually: - Protects against heat ? Although this is a hard thing to judge, I have not noticed any difference in my hair whether I use the spray or not. Because...

Review of GHD Iron Oil

Tesco Value Steam Iron

Advantages: cheap
Disadvantages: not so good for heavy creases

...Tesco Value Steam Iron I tend to try and never do any ironing whatsoever and it is mainly my partner who uses the iron for his work shirts. Most of my clothes contain enough stretch that once I put the clothes on the creases will stretch out and I am very cautious when the washing machine has finished and I get the clothes out and onto the line as quickly as possible so that as little creases as possible are put into the clothes. Also I find giving the clothes all a good shake before putting them on the line reduces any creases therefore reducing ironing to nil!! But the iron that we previously had was a very old one and after my accidentally knocking it off of the shelf it lives and smashing the plug to within an inch of its life it was my responsibility to buy the new one. I was pretty slack in rushing out to get one...
