The people under the stairs

Advantages: great comedy and a bit of horror
Disadvantages: none

...ugly head and forming what can only be described as a fantastic plot for a movie?.and this movie emphasises the fact brilliantly and almost tastefully. Brandon Adams does a fantastic job as 'Fool', the young lovable character who turns to robbery to help his family. This frightened little boy has to handle every evil thing thrown at him, and what a job he does. His scenes with the Robeson's mad are brilliant but may be upsetting for dog lovers (although no animals were hurt during this filming) The Robeson's are brilliant characters, coming across as a god loving couple who wouldn't harm a fly. Everett McGill, who plays 'dad' Robeson, acts the part to perfection as the gun toting, sadistic god loving weirdo. The Robeson's really bring the saying 'see no evil.. hear no evil.. Speak no evil' to life as The people under the stairs...

Review of The People Under The Stairs (DVD)

Narrow Stairs

Advantages: nice catchy tones, orginal coverwork
Disadvantages: some tracks on this album that sound out of place

...Track Listing 01. Bixby Canyon Bridge 02. I Will Possess Your Heart 03. No Sunlight 04. Cath... 05. Talking Bird 06. You Can Do Better Than Me 07. Grapevine Fires 08. Your New Twin Sized Bed 09. Long Division 10. Pity and Fear 11. The Ice Is Getting Thinner Death Cab for Cutie hasn?t been the best band around ever since they jumped to a major label. Their albums don?t seem to have the same magic that fans feel in love with. Is Narrow Stairs the album that?s going to make fans believe in Death Cab for Cutie again? No, Narrow Stairs is just not happening. This dark album is dealing with the same old concepts Death Cab for Cutie has been writing about for the past five album (this is their sixth release). There are some nice catchy tones in here, but I found myself dozing off more than listening to the actual album. Love is grand, we get...

Review of Narrow Stairs - Death Cab For Cutie

Don't look under the stairs!

Advantages: Good standard of acting, fast pace, plenty of action
Disadvantages: Some dodgy special effects, poor use of lighting

...finds a young girl called Alice, the daughter of the household who has never been outside of the house. She is a sad, abused child who knows no reality beyond the four walls of what she calls home. Then there?s the reality that?s going on behind the walls and under the stairs. Fool finds himself caught up in a game of cat and mouse with the deranged landlords. At every turn his attempts at escape are thwarted by the wicked duo. With the landlords getting closer and closer to catching him Fool desperately tries to escape because if he?s caught there?s no knowing what might happen. ?The people under the stairs? is at its heart an urban style fairy tale. Our brave hero, Fool must stand up to the heinous landlords (who are oppressing the ?villagers? in the ghetto), save the tormented princess Alice (who?s being tortured by the evil step...

A Countess Below Stairs

Advantages: beautifully descriptive, fabulous characters, great imagery
Disadvantages: some times you have to read back

...A Countess Below Stairs is one of the best books I have read lately, I was surfing the book department on Amazon, and i happened upon the author; Eva Ibbotson. I was reading the reviews and what it was about to get an idea, of whether it was worth me reading. The story immediately grasped me, along with a few of her other books. The reason for this is because the story is about a daughter of a Russian Count and Countess named Anna Grazinsky. The story is set around late victorian pre-1920s. Anna has left russia with her mother, her brother and her governess, to go to England. They stay in her governess's house, as they have lost their money. They are in need of a bit of money so Anna goes looking for a job as a house maid. In doing so she gets a job for the Earl of Westerholme. WIth only an idea of how to be a maid through a form...

Tooled right up in IT!

Advantages: Lots of tools to cover a multitude of jobs.
Disadvantages: Cheap feeling screwdriver.

...There are lots of little jobs that need to be performed in IT and many of them are hardware related. These jobs range from fitting additional memory to complete motherboard replacements. But whatever you are about to do to your PC, you are going to need specifit tools for the job.

Death Cab For Cutie - Narrow Stairs

Advantages: Confidence pushing a fantastic band even further
Disadvantages: Post-it notes required to remind you to do anything else but listen to it

...Like all great pieces of art, on first listening Narrow Stairs makes you stop and take notice. Thirty seconds in and I'm relieved to hear that Death Cab have not resorted to pop riffs or drum patterns to push their way into the chart, rather continuing to create the brilliant alternative music that we love them for. The stand-out track has to be the rhythmic and rather brave "I Will Possess Your Heart". An inspired yet simple bassline drives the track through over 8 minutes of sheer sonic joy, including the first four and a half minutes which have no more than bass, drums and piano. It works beautifully. There are a couple of tracks (No Sunlight, Long Division) which definitely get you moving and seem perfect for alternative par-tays. My favourite track of the moment has to be "Your New Twin Sized Bed" - an addictive piece that...

Bettacare-Auto Close Stair Gates

Advantages: 3 sizes, auto-closing
Disadvantages: none

...For those of you who already have little children in the house, you will agree that safety in the home is paramount. Even if you have eyes in the back of your head, in your arms and legs and in every single room in the house, your child will still manage to wonder off undetected. It's great when they start to move, at first they progress slowly but it's only a matter of days before then can go from 0 -100 in the blink of an eye. So when our little one began to move we needed to start looking at stair gates, before he dive bombed down the stairs. At this point to me a stair gate was a stair gate, a gate that you fix across your stairs or to the entrance of a room to prevent children having accidents, or escaping from rooms. So how long would it take to purchase two gates! How wrong was I? There are millions (well not literally) to...

THIS IS A FANTASTIC GROOMING TOOL FOR EVERY DOG OWNER

Advantages: The best grooming tool I have ever used
Disadvantages: Can be pricey

...I own both a Siberian Husky and a small, hairy being of not fixed breeding! , in Spain where the weather gets very hot and your dogs would much rather "shed in the shade" - or, all over the carpet. Anybody who has a husky will know they have double coats, a darker upper coat with a downy underlayer which for two years until I found this grooming tool was a nightmare, I used every brush and comb available, plus some horse tools which I thought worth a try, but to no avail ! My husky looked constantly as if the moths had been at him, except in November when there was a short pause. Cleaning the house was a nightmare and I never seemed to get rid of all the fluff from his undercoat. Then I discovered the Furminator ! It was fantastic, the terrace looked as if it had been coated in snow as all the undercoat came out so easily...

Review of Vital Furminator Grooming Tool

Fight with tools - and words according to flobots.

Advantages: Read the review, its a great album
Disadvantages: If you arent into much political music then it may not be for you.

...the little effects added in and background noises the whole album has a good feel to it. The ambience created throughout is strong and it sounds good quality without being clinical. Top Tracks: Handlebars - A top track with a huge build up to a fantastic ending. Stand Up - Viola and Emceeing works together well, a great catchy chorus fits in great with good lyrics. Rise - Another catchy song with great melody and singing along in chorus, a feelgood song. Fight With Tools - Amazing lyrics and lots of embellishments in the track the more you listen to it the more you here. Worst Tracks: Not one track i can pick out as being the worst. A rare album that has all good songs. 01. Theres a War Going On For Your Mind 02. Mayday 03. Same Thing 04. Stand Up 05. Fight With Tools 06. Handlebars 07. Never Had It 08. Combat...

Review of Fight With Tools (Parental Advisory) [PA] - Flobots

GERBER 800 MULTI TOOL - DON'T BUY ANYTHING ELSE

Advantages: Strong, reliable, spring-loaded pliers, rust proof
Disadvantages: Scissors have small cut size

...Being a military man, I have had both a LEATHERMAN© and a GERBER© in the last 10 years, so am in a position to speak with authority on both. The Leatherman is a good tool. However, the Gerber 800 puts it in the shade. Gerber make several models of multitool, but I chose the 800 because it is the most robust and useful in terms of tools provided. It's official colour is 'champagne', I prefer to think of it more as 'light bronze'!!!! The 800 has 18 features, each of which has been thought out to be of ACTUAL use rather than fantasy use. What I mean is, how many of us have found ourselves needing to get a stone out of a horses hoof, whilst needing to get a splinter out of our hand with tiny tweezers whilst trying to measure a 4-inch fish? I've put the specifications at the end so that you can see everything it's got, but I...
