Rear Window Reworked

Advantages: A good idea for reworking "Rear Window"...
Disadvantages: ...but it had a poor script and lost a lot of what made the original plot so good

...Rear Window (1998) - FILM ONLY REVIEW Certificate: PG (UK) Running Time: 89 Minutes Director: Jeff Bleckner Voyeurism is the act of observing the lives of others, often, though not always, for sexual gratification; it is a process by which the observer gets more satisfaction from viewing others than from experiencing their own lives. There is a little bit of this tendency in all of us, as what is watching a film if not opening up a window on the lives of others, be they real or fictional? It is no surprise, therefore, that the film industry has from time to time chosen voyeurism as the subject of its stories. A widely regarded classic of the theme is Alfred Hitchcock's 1954 film "Rear Window", an engrossing and suspenseful examination of what it is like to be a voyeur, first enforced by circumstance and later pursued...

Review of Rear Window (DVD)

The best rear light available on a market

Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: None

.... In the beginning of my review I need to say: if you, member of your family or a best friend have a bicycle then strongly recommend this rear light as it is mentally bright. Does the job brilliantly and bicycle you will attach it to should be definitely safe. I have got this light myself and am extremely pleased. It's been already over one year since I bought it from Chain Reaction Cycle website for £12 and have not had any accidents at night. Before that, it got used to happen as I leave in London where traffic is quite heave and you never now who is driving behind you. Installation There is a manual attached to this product and is very easy to read. Every single detail how to fit it is described. Attachment itself should not take you longer then 10 minutes. All you have to do is to unpack everything from box, stretch...

Review of Blackburn Mars 3.0 Rear Light

Check out Alfred Hitchcock's rear... window!

Advantages: Deliberately slow build-up of tension
Disadvantages: May be a bit too slow for some

...In case you're wondering, I'm having a bit of an Alfred Hitchcock week, and I've been watching a few films by "the master of suspense". Rear Window was made in 1954, and it's hailed as one of his finest achievements, even being voted number 14 on IMDb's top 250 films! That's above Citizen Kane and Lawrence of Arabia! Plus it was nominated for 4 Oscars, including Best Screenplay and Best Director! It stars James Stewart and Grace Kelly as a couple who become sure that there's something suspicious going on in the flat opposite... Stewart plays Mr Jeffries, a newspaper photographer who has been confined to his apartment for six weeks with a broken leg, after a car accident. With nothing else to do, he watches his neighbours, and since there is a heat wave and everyone leaves their windows open, he has the perfect opportunity to...

Review of Rear Window (DVD)

Microsoft Official Xbox 360 Wireless Racing Wheel

Advantages: Very robust and firm wheel. wireless
Disadvantages: MAY STRIKE SOME AS "CHEAP" LOOKING

...This wheel comes extremely well packaged and may take you a few mintues to actually get into it but atleast this lends assurance that it will transport well when it was shipped. The packages comes in 3 separate parts: >Wheel >Pedals >Table attachement WHEEL: The wheel itself is covered in a highly durable rubber covering making it very easy to keep a grip on it, which is an important feature if like me yours hands can sweat in the middle of an intense race. The wheel also has all the buttons you would find on a normal controller and they are all intuitively placed. The X,Y, A,B buttons are placed in easy reach of the thumb so when driving they are easy reachablt. The trigger buttons are also present as large levers placed directly behind the wheel so as you can easily use them but with enough room between them and the wheel...

Wonder Woman's Wheels. . .

Advantages: Great for cleaning them.
Disadvantages: Expensive.

...Well known, and used by the motor industry as the professional cleaning product, also recommended and approved by the majority of motor manufacturers, as well as AutoTrader, What Car, and AutoExpress. In fact, speaking of Auto Express, the Wonder wheels product is the number one selling and multiple award winning alloy wheel cleaner. Wonder wheels has won the Auto Express product honours for eleven consecutive years! OK that sounds like an advert, it is actually. I lifted it from the CarPlan site, have a look for yourself http://www.carplan.co.uk/index.cfm?page=1 Contents of cardboard box are, 500ml wheel cleaner, 1 application bristle brush and a dispensing container.

Review of Wonder Wheels Cleaning Kit

The big wheel keeps on turning!

Advantages: A great attraction for Windsor
Disadvantages: none

...A few weeks ago it was the bank holiday weekend and we had friends staying so we thought we would take in some of our local attractions. Windsor is only half an hour away from where we live so we decided to head over there with the intention of taking all our children on the Royal Windsor Wheel - which was a first for us all. I had looked up the details on the website at www.royalwindsorwheel.com We could have booked our tickets in advance but I decided that, because my four year old daughter is sometimes a bit unsure of things and may well take one look at it and decide that she wasn't going on it, to risk not booking. As it was, on a Sunday lunchtime it was not busy, my daughter was quite happy and we virtually walked on straightaway as soon as we had paid. The Windsor Wheel is probably best described as a smaller version...

Review of Royal Windsor Wheel, Berkshire

The wheels on the Wii go round and round

Advantages: cheap
Disadvantages: see review

...This is a funny old product because, of course, it's not really much more than a circular piece of plastic, yet it feels so good! The Wii Wheel is a driving wheel for use with Wii games that, erm, require you to drive. The way it works is you insert the Wii remote into it (it fits very snug), and then use the whole thing to drive. The Wii remote is not included in the purchase. There is a 'B' button on the back of the wheel, operatable with your left pointy finger. The wheel cost me £6.99 on sopto.net and is the same price in Game stores around the country. Although the price seems very reasonable, it should be pointed out that standard Wii remotes are not at all practical for driving games, and really it's an additional cost that you pretty much HAVE to spend to be able to play racing games and the like, so it would have been...

Review of NINTENDO Wii Wheel - wheel

Six wheels on my Wagon

Advantages: Individually wrapped, taste ok, not too pricey
Disadvantages: Ordinary these days.

...Wagon Wheels are one of those last few remaining treats that I remember from my childhood, and are still around. As kids we would be given a wagon wheel occasionally and they seemed huge taking ages to eat. I know that when we are young children we are usually quite small but I dont think that this is the only reason that Wagon Wheels seem to be so small nowadays by comparison. Still, in line with other such products, as their size has diminished their price has not. They are usually purchased these days in multi-packs such as the one I bought this week that hold 6 individually wrrapped wagon wheels. A wagon wheel is basically a round biscuit that is a good couple of inches in diameter. There are two digestive type biscuits sandwiched together with mallow and the whole concoction is covered in a cholcolate flavoured coating. Notice...

Review of Burtons Wagon Wheels

Four wheels good.......Two wheels better

Advantages: Great stories/articles, loads of guest writers, great photography

Review of Two Wheels Only

Caramel Wagon Wheels an Acquired Taste

Advantages: Large
Disadvantages: Tastes Like Cardboard

...We are all quite fond of eating biscuits in my household. In fact we tend to go through quite a lot in the space of a week often as a result of packed lunches for all of us and an after school snack for the children. I tend to try and buy slightly more healthy versions for example serial bars however occasionally if I see a special offer on at the local supermarket I will tend to buy a slightly more indulgent biscuit pack. Apparently the Wagon Wheel is making something of a comeback at the moment and I was enticed to buy a packet of the caramel version of the product as it was on offer for a pack of six for 50p. I remember these years ago however I'm sure they had jam in them then!! The wagon wheel biscuit apparently has been around since the 1940's and are the biggest chocolate biscuit available to buy on the market (these are...
