...days later, (so came the title), a hospital patient called Jim (played by Cillian Murphy) wakes up from a coma to discover the entire population of London are mouth dribbling, mad flesh ripping killing machine. With Jim having to fight for survival, running scared from the infected gangs, he stumbles upon other survivors, including Selena, (played by Naomie Harris), Mark, (played by Noah Huntley), Frank, (played by Brendan Gleeson) his daughter Hannah, (played by Megan Burns) and a small group of soldiers led by Major Henry West, (played by Christopher Eccleston).

28 Days Later

Advantages: Differant ending and can be quite imaginative in places
Disadvantages: an average film

...Ok, so im writing this review just because I can and im slightly bored with nothing else to review (yet). Set on the island of great Britain, this post apocolyptic survival horror wass directed by Danny Boyle and released 2002 and spawned the sequel 28 weeks later in 2007. The film is about a virus that rapidly spreads through Britain with in 28 days (coincidence?ï??) The story begins with a group of British Animal rights activists breaking into and animal research centre to release captive chimpanzees but are warned by a worker that they are infected by some thing he refers to as ?rage? but as you could get they release the chimp which subsequently attacks and infects the people which of course then break out and infect the rest of the population. The scene cuts out and we then see a young man, Jim, who wakes up from a coma to...

CODE RED - 28 WEEKS LATER -

Advantages: Brilliant direction, photography, music, and acting.
Disadvantages: Pretty gory!

...◘► Released in 2007 under the Science Fiction/Horror Genre. 28 Weeks Later is a higher budget, post apocalyptic sequel to the International film success of 28 Days Later which was released in 2002. 28 Weeks Later picks up where the last story left off. Though not a direct sequel, 28 Weeks features a different set of people, in similar circumstance. Director Danny Boyle was unable to direct 28 Weeks, due to other work commitments, but became Executive Producer on this film, and he hired Juan Carlos Fresnadillo as Director, after seeing his work on the 2001 film 'Intacto'. This would be Juan's first time directing an English language film. Boyle did keep in touch though by becoming 2nd unit Director. There is also an entirely new cast on 28 Weeks Later, and plans have been made to create a third chapter, and make this film...

TAKING IT TOO LATERALLY

Advantages: nothing electrical to go wrong, saves time by being cardio and toning in one
Disadvantages: price

...thing (taking up half of my bedroom floor) is called the Lateral Thigh Trainer. It looks like a normal stepper machine, but the paddles are enormous, and because they are at an angle, the whole thing is fairly cumbersome. HOW MUCH DOES IT COST, AND WHERE CAN YOU GET IT? I got mine from a website, but they also sell it on many of the shopping channels. If you have Sky, then you?ll probably know where to look. It costs £89.95, with £6.95 postage and packaging on top. This is very expensive in my view for this piece of equipment, but then again, if it works and is enjoyable, then I won?t really mind. You can actually get it for three instalments of £29.95, which works out at about the same price, and there?s a thirty day money back guarantee if you?re unhappy. WHAT IS IT SUPPOSED TO DO? Normal steppers work on the front and back leg...

"Lat will do nicely" : Life Fitness Lateral Raise

Advantages: Perfect execution of the exercise in hand, quality build, quality company
Disadvantages: Expensive for the home buyer, very heavy!!!!

...On to the second piece of Life Fitness equipment I will be reviewing this week, the Life Fitness Signature Lateral Raise. This is one of my favourite pieces of kit and in my opinion creates the best gurning faces out of all the kit in the gym (lol). Apologise to those that have read my other review regarding the signature series, there is an element of repetition regarding the company details and signature series, but I prefer to keep it in for new consumers as it highlights who they are buying from and also the uniqueness of the signature brand. WHO ARE LIFE FITNESS Life Fitness really came into existence in 1968, when a chap called Keene P Dimmock invented the lifecycle exercise bike. Seeing its potential, two young entrepreneurs, Ray Wilson and Augie Nieto bought the rights to the cycle an then took it to the health...

Review of Life Fitness Signature Series Lateral Raise

The Lateral Thigh Trainer is a MUST HAVE

Advantages: Needs very little space, targets thigh muscles and REALLY WORKS
Disadvantages: Some may find it very boring

...I happened to come across a T.V advert advertisting what seemed to be another very expensive, yet interesting peice of excercise equipment. So as usual in amazement I sat and watched the advert. It was for the Lateral Thigh Trainer. After having two children, my body never returned to its old self again, so I have been loooking around to try and find a cheap enough but effective excercise tool. So when the advert came on I was hooked and decided I had to get one and try it out. It was being advertised for 89.99 plus p&p, although it sounded goo, too good to be true infact i still thought it was very pricey. So I decided to go about getting one the "new fashion way as some would say" and look on the fabulous Ebay. Wow, there were so many, and I eventually brought myself a pink one for 19.99. Since buying the Lateral Thigh trainer I...

Review of Tristar Lateral Thigh Trainer

28 days later

Advantages: it is a quality
Disadvantages: it is not a brand new film

..."28 years later" by Danny Boyle Most definitely, this is a scariest film seen recently. Something meant to become a cult film. A proven Danny Boyle’s geniality…."It will have you on the edge of your seat"…." So real, so possible, so simple...so Boyle this is. Clear and simple, scary and upsetting. Most definitely there are different kind of horrors. The sort of ‘Scream’ horrors and the second kind more warning kind about catastrophes, on things that actually can happen if we are not very careful. With horrors such "28 days later" we are always more careful because it suppose the reality that might happen. However, I think that this is sort of female horror. The kind of movies that women like, because it has the background story that allows a little bit more than just horror, in the company of so simple...

28 Days Later Sony PSP Version

Advantages: Good picture for a small screen
Disadvantages: its a small screen, sound quality

...His fear began when he woke up alone. His terror began when he realised he wasn't Movie: Written by Alex Garland (The Beach) and directed by Danny Boyle (Shallow Grave and Train-spotting). 28 days later centres on the popular science fiction (and Zombie film) subject of the Post Apocalyptic Survivor, although the usual catalyst of the apocalypse tends to be nuclear war in this movie it is disease. The movie starts out with us witnessing three animal rights activists breaking into a lab to "liberate" the imprisoned animals. Once inside they learn that the Chimps are infected with a virus called "rage". Then in true activist style and despite our cries of "don't open the cages" they open one of the cages. Which apart from being amazingly stupid, (as let's face it, the name "Rage" does not suggest that they are placid), needs to take...

Advantages: feels like you've had a trip to the gym, easy to use
Disadvantages: quite big and heavy

...First off, the lateral thigh trainer is like a stepping machine but they go out to the side, not just up and down.i first saw the lateral thigh trainer on one of those teleshopping channels. the advert was so cheesy yet convincing so i went online to see if i could get them any cheaper.

28 days later

Advantages: scary
Disadvantages: scary

...and explain the horrific events of the previous weeks. The scene where these events are described contains some mildly jaded dialogue, but in a post `George A Romero, Omega Man, Night of The Comet, Day of the Triffids, The Quiet Earth' culture this is forgivable. Hopefully viewers will look sympathetically upon anything they see as reminiscent of other genre films as Garland and Boyle paying homage to their predecessors. Fortunately the performances, from a cast of relatively unknown actors, along with that of Brendon Gleeson (Gangs Of New York) and Christopher Eccleston (Gone in Sixty Seconds) are impressive enough to make up for any scenes where the action or the dialogue looks or sounds to be slightly hackneyed. Produced to a reported budget of £15m, 28 Days Later is an ambitious effort, which in the main succeeds especially in the opening...
