12 Rounds Of Torture

Advantages: Relentless action holds your attention
Disadvantages: Copycat storyline

...subjected to 12 rounds; if Danny is still standing after the 12 round he?ll get his girlfriend back, but if he?s not then Molly is for it. Will Danny make it through the 12 rounds? John Cena is the latest in a long line of WWE Wrestlers to try his hand at acting, some have been moderately successful (The Rock), some not so (Hulk Hogan, Stone Cold Steve Austin). Therefore it must be difficult for wrestlers to dodge that critism that every wrestler faces and the stigma that wrestlers cannot act has been something that has tied them down for years. Whether successful or not, or even whether they can act or not it?s clear that WWE stars are going to continue for many years in the future to star in lacklustre, disappointing films for the sake of a large paycheck. John Cena I have to say seems to be the best in a bad bunch, he doesn?t have...

Review of 12 Rounds

  You Spin Me Right Round.

Advantages: Able to dry indoors without needing a vent.
Disadvantages: High energy consumption in comparison to more expensive dryers.

...frequently as you like. The clothes are always dry by the end of the cycle but sometimes not completely aired so if you want to use them right away you can of course give them a bit longer on one of the timed programs. You can of course stop the machine at any time. I hate to waste my time with ironing and have never really ironed anything in the past unless I can't get away with it. Once my clothes have come to the end of the drying cycle and are ready to take out I simply shake and fold each item and smooth out the clothes with my hands so my clothes never need ironing! Of course apart from the odd school shirts which take no time what so ever. The wide door and the light makes it easy to find something if you need to get something out without having to struggle or empty the entire machine. The clothes are hardly ever tangled the only thing...

Review of Beko DRCS68W

Round and Round it Goes...

Advantages: Some good stunt work and lots of action.
Disadvantages: No plot, poor acting and iffy ADHD direction.

...and pounding percussion. Miles Jackson warrants his own arrangements of tense strings and percussion and thoughts of Molly are underlined by syrupy Spanish guitar. Unfortunately, in line with the rest of the movie, the composer goes for the bigger, louder, more approach, smothering almost every second of the production in cheap music that loses its impact because of its ubiquity. ?12 Rounds? is a very silly action movie that has very little plot and no originality. The direction is brash and hackneyed, the writing anaemic and the performances hinge on a wooden central turn from a wrestler. However it has no pretensions and doesn?t pretend it?s big or clever. So if you?re a fan of 1980s action movies then you?ll probably get a kick out of it. And despite its many shortcomings, it is fun in a brainless way. It?s the kind of thing that will find its...

Review of 12 Rounds (DVD)

You spin me right round baby, right round

Advantages: The types of washing cycles you can do
Disadvantages: If you make an error your going to pay for it in the long run sadly

...have got the controls. You have to the left of the product the draw for where you need to put the tablets if you use them and other sort of cleaning chemicals. The draws have 2 separate departments which are not too bad but the second compartment is very thin and might be an issue for some people when cleaning. As you move along slightly to the right of the product you have the more advance controls. You have first of all this black screen which is LCD and has basically the information about each wash you are performing. On the right of the screen there are 2 controls and they are for you to set the temperature and also the speed. Then underneath the display you have got a few buttons which are telling you what sort of wash you wish to do. You have the washes like 'Quick Wash' and 'Full load' the usual sort of buttons you might expect...

Review of Haier HW-C 1470

Fight for the Right with Fight Night Round 3

Advantages: Nice graphics, Easy achievements, One of few games to hold good value
Disadvantages: Can be clumsy to control, Far too easy and short, Weak AI

...The third installment of this series from EA in my opinion leaves a little to be desired. Although very nice to look it has many areas that I personally believe need to be improved. The control of the boxer can be very difficult at times if you wanna pull off some of the more spectacular haymaker punches etc and this detracts from what could have been a much better game. The computer AI in this game is also very weak and with this in mind and the difficulty in controlling some of the punches I set out to do a little experiment. See my results below . . . Hypothesis I hypothesised that I would be able to complete this game in full in the single player mode and unlock all achievements in the game with simply TWO different types of punches. The "special" punch that you start with and that is utilised via the right shoulder button...

Review of Right Now - Leon Jackson

You Spin Me Right Round...

Advantages: Easy to use, choose your own temperature, quiet, energy efficient
Disadvantages: It's brains have died a few times, drawer is flimsy

...always feel VERY hot if I do a rather hot wash so that's quite good to know. It spins fantastically, with 1100 RPM (which apparently means rounds per minute) and I find this plenty adequate enough to get rid of all the excess water in my clothes. Noise-wise, the spin isn't too bad, it doesn't rattle around much and doesn't spin for too long, I find around 4-5 minutes on the super-quick spin. If I shut the kitchen door, it isn't too audible so that's quite good I think. The dials are easy and clear to use. The larger one on the right hand side of the front panel is for the cycle selector, numbered 1-10 (with the key on the liquid drawer), but there are a few other options too. There is drainage, light spin / heavy duty spin, light rinse / heavy rinse and the top option is just off, which is what the dial should be set to when the machine isn...

Review of Indesit WIB111/WIA111

Marymoose goes round the twist!

Advantages: Classic Australian Kid's TV which still amuses me now!
Disadvantages: Might not appeal as much to those who didn't watch it originally.

...With hubby out for the day I was left to my own devices and decided to have a trip down memory lane and put on "Round the Twist" series 2. Introduction to Round The Twist Round The Twist was an Australian children's TV programme, with the first series being made in 1989. I have many happy memories of watching the first series with my older brother, and although I was 8 and he was 19 we both enjoyed it. For a children's TV programme the humour is pretty dark at times, and that's why it appeals to all ages - you've got to love the Aussies! Round the Twist follows the lives of the Twist family - Mr Twist (Tony), a widower and his three children 13 year old twins Pete and Linda, and younger son Bronson (aged 8). In series 1 the family moved to Port Niranda to live in a lighthouse, little did they know that a whole...

Review of Round The Twist - Series 2 (DVD)

You spin me right round!

Advantages: does as it says
Disadvantages: do not overload or it takes ages

...My husband bought this drier, much to my despair; I prefer the good old radiators for drying my clothes as I have always thought that a drier would rapidly increase my electricity bill. Which yes it has increased it but not by as much as what I thought. I still tend to use the radiators also rather than just using the drier for everything. The drier also said that it would save on ironing, as it takes all the creases out, surely that cannot be right. So when it was all set up, I decided to put it to the test. I decided to do a full load in the drier. Well I was slightly disappointed the clothes took absolutely ages to be dry, and although they were not really badly creased I still had to run over them with a quick iron. To be honest that is what I expected from a full load in the drier. Then I tried just a few items, this time I...
