Twister

Advantages: Great special effects
Disadvantages: Story line was weak

...In geography we have been learning about climatic hazards and my teacher suggested that if we hadn't already seen this film that we watch it as a visual aid to help us for the exam. Being the conscientious student that I am, I asked my dad if he would hire it from Screen Select (as that's where we get most of our DVDs). Twister arrived on Tuesday morning so we settled down to watch it that evening. ~ A little bit about tornadoes ~ Most tornado activity is found in the USA. The air movements here are unique as three air masses meet causing lots of tornadoes to occur. The area is known as Tornado Alley. A tornado (commonly known as a twister) is a violently rotating column of air in contact with the ground that originated from the base of a cumulonimbus cloud. The film is based in Oklahoma, which is an area within Tornado Alley...

Review of Twister (DVD)

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...

Tastebud Tingling Twisters!

Advantages: five flavours, variety, fun, cool-down
Disadvantages: a bit unhealthy!

...If you have not tasted this tongue-twisting tingling sensation, you really do not know what you are missing... ***** I remember eating Twister lollies on the hot and sticky days of Summer to cool down when I was younger, and I can safely say they worked! One 80ml Twister lolly provided about twenty minutes of edible fun, a nice refreshing drink, and a calming cool-down! So much enjoyment came from eating Twister lollies! People indulge on the treat in many different ways. Me, well I like to lick off all the vanilla ice cream first! It has such a sweet taste to it, a soft and creamy sensation. So smooth and light, it wakes up the taste buds, informing them that it is time for a fantastic treat! The second part of the Twister I eat is the pineapple and lime rim, or more commonly known as the 'green bit'. By this stage, the fruity...

Review of Wall's Twister

Twister will twist you up good

Advantages: So much fun for all the family
Disadvantages: Not good if you have a bad back or legs

...This is a game, that will provide hours of fun and laughter, for the whole family. I say family, as adults will like it as much as kids. What is Twister? Twister is a game, for 2 or more players. It consists of a plastic, white floor mat, and a hand held spinning board. The floor mat, has four rows of brightly coloured circles on it. Each row of circles, has six circles in it.

These are: *Right hand *Left hand *Right foot *Left foot. In each of these sections, is one of each colour circles. Object of the gane. This is very simple.

Review of Twister

Tongue tingling twisters!

Advantages: A miniature version of the original classic.
Disadvantages: None!!!

...Ok, so I know the weather hasn't been particularly nice the last week, but I'm afraid my kids have developed a taste for ice lollies, so here comes another lolly review!! The product I will now review are "mini twisters". ~~~~~~ THE PACKAGING ~~~~~~ The box is rectangular in shape slightly larger than most of the other boxes in the freezer at my local Asda store, hence the reason my son picked them! There is a picture of one of the afore mentioned lollies springing across the box at an angle with pieces of fruit seemingly bursting out of it, this is to highlight the fact that these lollies now have added fruit juice, there are juicy, tangy lime wedges and succulent, vivid red strawberries, all very appealing to the eye. The rest of the background colour is a mixture of subtle citrus colours that seem to bring the box alive...

Review of Wall's Mini Twister Ice Lollies

Tangle your tongue round a twister.

Advantages: Fun filled fruit refreshment.
Disadvantages: There just arn't enough beautiful days on which to enjoy them.....

...Aaaahhhh the 'Twister' perfect on a hot day at the beach or during a stroll through the park. It's just a shame there haven't been many of those days this year.... again.....Still that's Britain for you! And I did chose to live in Newcastle.... The twister has to be my all time favourite ice lolly and as far as I can remember this has always been so. I was amazed to see that this immensely popular ice-cream treat wasn't a ciao category recently, so I got it added and here it is! ******************** About the Twister ******************** The Twister was first introduced to the public in 1982 and apparently it is consistently a top seller. According the the 'chill out zone' (a kids website) the Twister is the fifth most sold hand-held ice on the Wall's website following Magum Classic, Magum White, Callippo orange...

Review of Wall's Twister

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...

Mista Twister

Review of Twister (DVD)

The object of Twister.

Advantages: It is a fun game for all ages.
Disadvantages: It isnt for people that don't have a sense of humour and that are bad loosers

...Twister is a fantastic game that is the main event of most children's parties...and a few adults. How To Play Twister is a game for three or more people: two (or more) will be playing the game and one spinning the board. There is a mat, on which the game is played with numerous different colour spots. These are Yellow, Blue, Red and Green. The spinner board features four colours (corresponding to the ones on the mat), each with pictures of right and left hands and feet. When a person spins the board, if for example it lands on "left foot on yellow" then all the people playing on the mat have to out their left foot on a yellow circle, you cannot take it of that circle until the board lands on "left foot on ..." another colour. With a lot of people on the board, players quickly become tangled, thus the game being called Twister...

Review of Twister

Twister - the ice lolly that will blow you away

Advantages: It tastes soo good
Disadvantages: there isnt one

...There is officially nothing better than having a wall;s twister on a hot day. THE LOOK Spiral of colour obviously resembling a twister. Green red and creamy white. All twisting down along the lolypop stick ( starts drooling...) anyhow, this ice loly is soo good i think im going to ahve to go and buy one now. I think that the colours complement eachotehr, sounds weair for an icre cream but hey your not exactly going to eat a lolly that looks like the dogs leftovers. THE SHAPE Like a big long cylinder , spiraly as you can see and kind of bobbly because of the way the different parts spiral. I like it. HOW DO YOU EAT IT!!!! Well isnt this an interesting topic..YES it really is. Its like a cadbury's cream egg. how do YOU eat it? Well incase your wondering, you can lick out the ice cream first and then have just the ice lolly...
