Twins

Advantages: good entertaining movie
Disadvantages: none really...???

...Director and Producer: Ivan Reitman Writers: William Davies, Timothy Harris, William Osborne and Herschel Weingrod Stars: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Danny DeVito, Kelly Preston, Chloe Webb, Bonnie Bartlet and Tony Jay. Released in late 1988 this great comedy involved the very questionable twins, Julius and Vincent Benedict, who were separated at birth then reunited years later. Apparently, only there mother can tell them apart??? **BRIEF PLOT** With Julius Benedict, (played by the rather large Arnold Schwarzenegger) being brought up on a picturesque island miles from normal life, he has grown into a calm and tranquil type of person. His life soon turns upside down when he is told that he has a twin brother called Vincent, (played by Danny DeVito), who is living somewhere in L.A. so with this information Julius sets out to...

Review of Twins (DVD)

Twin Peaks

Advantages: The most original, mind-blowing TV series of all time
Disadvantages: None

...A decade and a half having now passed since I first saw David Lynch's masterpiece Twin Peaks, I've decided at last to put pen to paper (in a virtual sense) and write something about this truly exceptional and extraordinary series. "Exceptional" and "Extraordinary" are words that are perhaps overused these days in the English language; however, I remain, fifteen years later, utterly convinced that Twin Peaks deserved to be draped with such superlatives, and more. In a nutshell, this is in my experience the greatest TV drama series ever made. It is also so much more than a drama series, combining elements of the supernatural, of surreal and unfathomable events inextricably linked but in a way that defies explanation. Before delving into the intricacies of this one-off work of genius, let me provide an introduction to the background...

Pace Twin

Advantages: BItstream Record, Easy to use, moves TV schedules around, easy to fit bigger HDD
Disadvantages: Small Hard Disk as standard, Slightly dodgy software

...The Pace Twin was the first PVR on the UK market without a subscription. Reviewed with October 2004 software. It is a Freeview digital terrestrial box with two tuners and a 20GB hard disk. You can watch TV as normal with it, you can also record TV or Freeview radio, you can watch another channel while recording, or a previous recording, or even the recording you are currently recording. Due to this you can watch a commercial TV programme while it is recording and catch up by skipping the adverts. Or you can wact a whole evenings programmes on a half hour delay. There is a live TV pause which is great for watching BBCi (701 or 702) programmes - disabling the MHEG layer and the press red. The box is very well featured, and has plenty of connections. It supports digital text - it is not quite as fast as the Pace DTVA but...

My twins story

Advantages: Double the fun and great play mates
Disadvantages: Double the work

....In 1995 I lost a baby girl called Lauren she was still born which was a terrible time for me and think about her every day, but in the year 2000 I found out I was pregnant again, in the very early days of pregnancy I was very sick unlike my other pregnancies both of which where girls so I thought maybe I was having a boy. I remember one day myself and my ex-husband as he is now were out shopping and we saw a dad pushing his twins round the shop, I turned to my husband jokingly and said " wouldn't it be funny if it were twins" famous last words. I did actually go and see my doctor because there wasn't a day go by that I didn't feel sick, his reply was well maybe you are having twins as it is more common to have sickness with multiple births, I just shrugged it off and just put it down to plain old morning sickness. Mind twins...

Victorialand - Cocteau Twins

Advantages: gentle, breathatakingly beautiful
Disadvantages: it's a bit short

...You should know what to expect when the first song is six and half minutes of beauty called "Lazy Calm". Arguably the most appropriately titled song ever, "Lazy Calm" begins with gentle washes of synth and guitar before being joined by a hazy distant saxophone. This goes on for a few minutes before a melody appears, underpinned by some reluctant beats as Elizabeth Fraser sings in that otherworldly voice of hers. For possibly the first time on a Cocteau Twins album it sounds like the words are in English, but you are still hard pressed to discern their meaning. But that doesn't matter. "Lazy Calm" conjures up images of wide open fields, warm summer days, laying in the long grass under vast blue skies, listening to the birds and insects going about their day. It is both intensely calming and gently uplifting all at the same time and is...

Twin Town review

Advantages: Great charachters.
Disadvantages: Bit off the wall for some people.

...Twin town is a movie that has both benefitted and detracted from by the comparisons with cult hit Trainspotting. While the tag obviously gave it some publicity and piqued many people's interest, it also left many with the wrong impression of what to espect when they see the film, leading to some dissapointment. The only similarities really are that both deal in graphic terms with the more down-trodden and morally-different elements of society and that both were produced in low-budget style with a high emphasis on charachter development over fancy film techniques. The movie itself tells the really quite sad tale of two twin boys, Julian and Jeremy Lewis (Real life brothers Llyr & Rhys Ifans) following their daddy Fatty Lewis's accident at work that lead to a subsequent feud with his employer Bryn Cartwright and eventually involved...

Review of Twin Town (DVD)

They weren't Twins & No-one was called Thompson

Advantages: Some great singles
Disadvantages: Some of the lyrics are a tad downbeat

...Looking on Ciao I was rather surprised to find no-one had done a review of these amazing 80's artists so as an 80's child and a very big fan indeed I felt it was my duty to write a review so here it comes. Formed originally in 1977 with a massive 11 members the Thompson Twins (who of course took their name from the bumbling detectives out of artist Herge's Tintin comics) released 3 albums before really breaking big in both the UK & the USA. Into The Gap was their 4th release but the 1st with the "classic" 3 person line-up of Tom Bailey, Alannah Currie and Joe Leeway. Bailey wrote words and music, Leeway provided percussion (and some backing vocals) and Currie played xylophone and provided backing vocals. On this album all 3 members of the band are given writing credits but Bailey wrote pretty much everything on his own. So whats...

Review of Into The Gap - Thompson Twins

Mothercare twin alpine.

Advantages: Comfy for little ones, very easy to push, looks great!
Disadvantages: Large! not good for small doorways :(

...with the hood and its very easy to get back on again. 2 simple screws for the hood and velcro on seats so its quick and easy to do. The bar on the front comes off and thats great for when you are getting the little ones in and out saves time and means no struggle trying to get legs in and out. Tyres can be a pain as the are real tyres but i never had a flat tyre. I did find that if you kept them pumped up the pram handles great but if they start to go down it becomes a bit ropey when pushing but you get the pump with it so its no trouble to give them a quick pump up. The one big downside to this pram is its size! it is a large pram i had trouble getting it into shops,lifts even my home front door it is a pain at times but its so comfy for the children, alot of twin prams that fit through single doors have that added bonus by taking away...

NTL D1101 twin handset

Advantages: Paging, good range, good battery life
Disadvantages: cannot transfer phonebook entries

...--Background-- For the past 7 or 8 years we have always used cordless telephones connected to our landline. The only problem we had with these was that we kept forgetting where we had put it. This was one of the reasons we went for a twin set as we could page the other handset should we misplace it. As we are on the NTL (as it was then) network, we decided to go for the NTL D1101 product, just in case it performed better on the NTL network. --Whats in the box-- As you can imagine, the box was quite bulky as there was a lot going on inside it. There were two phones, two bases, two chargers and an instruction manual. One of the bases is classed as the master and doubles up as a digital answering machine. --Set up-- As with all phones, you will need to let them charge for a few hours before use. I would recommend...

Review of NTL D 1101 TWIN

The great twin

Advantages: Very manouverable and great value for money
Disadvantages: None

...Having just had a baby to add to my ever growing family, I needed a twin buggy for my baby and my two year old. I spent my entire pregnancy looking on the internet and trailing round shops checking out every twin buggy available. As I'm so small, the front and back style was automatically ruled out which left me with the side by side option. I also had a few requirements which my would be twin buggy had to fulfill so with each requirement more and more twin buggies got ruled out. Since I don't drive, I also had to have something which I could get around with easily and on and off buses with. I also needed it to fit through doorways in my home easily as I stay in a flat. After months of searching I found the ideal twin buggy. The maclaren twin traveller replaces the maclaren rally twin which I got from Kiddicare...
