28 days later

Advantages: great fast paced movie with plenty of action and horror
Disadvantages: none

...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). With the remaining survivors being protected by the armed soldiers things seem to be working out, but, unfortunately, within the confines of the soldiers safe house in Manchester the dangers begin to escalate as the remaining survivors and soldiers begin to mistrust each...

Review of 28 Days Later (DVD)

28 Days Later ... the infected are here!

Advantages: Frity British horror film
Disadvantages: None

...***Why I watched 28 days later*** As I true horror fan I always try to watch new film releases. Unfortunately for me my partner does not share my enthusiasm so most of the time I only end up watching the film when they are released on dvd. I love the original zombie style horrors so when I read a review about a new British post-apocalyptic horror film by director Danny Boyle (Trainspotting, The Beach) I flew down to the video shop to rent it. ***The cast*** Cillian Murphy as Jim (Red Eye, Batman: The Dark Knight) Naomie Harris as Selena (Pirates of the Caribbean, Miami Vice) Brendan Gleeson as Frank (Harry Potter films, Bowulf) Megan Burns as Hannah (Liam) Noah Huntley as Mark (Emmerdale, Holby City) Christopher Eccleston as Major Henry West (Cracker, Doctor Who) ***28 Days Later*** The film kicks of with a team of animal rights...

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...

TAKING IT TOO LATERALLY

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

...I?m going to admit to something shameful. It?s a terrible habit, and very addictive, whilst annoying everyone else in the house. It?s hard to admit to, but I think if I just say it out loud, and maybe if people say they do it too, I?ll feel better about it. Here goes. I enjoy watching shopping channels. I don?t mean I just watch them when there?s nothing on; I actively watch and enjoy them. There, I said it. I think my favourite shopping channel adverts are the ones for exercise equipment, as I love all the technical terms; ?this one trains your abs?, ?this one will put you in your cardio fat burning zone?, and so on. So, anyway, one day I was watching Vector Direct, when this strange tree trunk looking blonde woman came on, and started talking about this new exercise gadget. Every time we turned onto the shopping channels...

Review of Tristar Lateral Thigh Trainer

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

...have really noticed the differecne in my hips, legs and stomach. If I'd have known when I was watching the t.v advert that it really would work I would have definatly been prepeared to purchase it at the original price. So what is the LATERAL THIGH TRAINER? The lateral thigh trainers is what Id say the best and accurate to its descripton peice of exercise equipment I have seen or used in a very long time. In advertisment it is said to burn fat and tone the following parts of your body: Bottom Inner and outer thighs Hips Stomach Oblique (love handle area) Arms Unlike normal steping excercise equipment this is where the Lateral Thght Trainer (LTT...

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...

"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

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...

28 plotholes later

Advantages: Effects are ok
Disadvantages: Overly dark for too long

.... The fact that the area gets bombed and then there's the radio message authorising the use of Chemical weapons that really kicks hard at the American Military and their love of overkill. The chopper pilot saying he's going to be with them in 60 seconds, well, i'm sorry but that's utter tripe as they'd already be able to hear him coming towards them. A huge point is don't the infected ever get tired? Or are they not effected by lactic acid build-up in the muscles that occurs when you run? Not even world class sprinters can run that fast for extended periods. They'd get tired & get muscle fatigue. I'm not exactly sure what the white smoke was supposed to be but they wouldn't have been much safer inside that car they took shelter in as it wouldn't be airtight. Possibly it was some sort of chemical agent as they had authorised the use...

Review of 28 Weeks Later (DVD)

28 heart attacks later

Advantages: A brilliant blend of science fiction and horror
Disadvantages: slightly incredulous story line at times

...I'm not usually a great fan of horror. I suppose I also feel a bit of an interloper because I don't actually own the DVD of 28 days later ( at least not yet ). I do however intend to scour e-bay for it in the next few days. But having just seen this film on film 4 last night, I was staggered at how good it was. The basic plot is not hugely original. Nasty virus sweeping the country has been attempted a number of times before. In fact I vaguely remember a bit of a series on the BBC that had 1 or 2 survivors driving around the UK trying to avoid a massive epidemic. But 28days later whilst not being amazingly original in the basic concept, manages to execute it in a way that I think borders on the brilliant. The plot is simple. Anti-vivisectionists release monkeys from a testing centre. The scene is made all the more vivid because one...
