Advantages: Funny, original, menacing - cult classic Disadvantages: Low on plot, short and obviously made on a budget
I first saw this cult sci-fi comedy many years ago but would still highly recommend it. I loved it then and recently went out and bought the DVD so I could watch it again. Still enjoyed it even though I'm not a huge sci-fi fan. It is quirky though so may not suit everyone's taste.
John Carpenter made this on a very tight budget and it shows, especially in these days of SFX. In fact, I think it was a student film. Nonetheless he creates a totally believable atmosphere of menace and claustrophobia as the stranded austronauts get through yet another day of craziness in outer space.
Basically, at some point in the future DARKSTAR has embarked on a mission to wipe out "unstable planets". The spacemen have been on board for twenty years and each has gone a little mad through sheer and utter boredom. The film is full of hippyish ...
Advantages: great for kids to play with Disadvantages: none
Noddy and the magicstar is a game for the bubble console which i have also reviewed, see other review for full details. A brief outline of the bubble is that it is a wireless, dvd interactive game designed for children aged 2yrs and over.
The bubble teaches children all about colours, numbers, feelings ect and follows the curriculum, again that was brief but see full review on bubble for more info.
Noddy is a well loved childrens caracter that has been around for as long as i can remeber, you must know noddy the little man with the red and yellow car always driving around toy town on some big adventure with his mate big ears, well now they have come to teach your child something.
The console game includes the following features:
Counting stars- Help noddy to count the stars in the night sky, he needs your help ...
Advantages: Easy to see where you have already painted, low odour Disadvantages: Dries a little too quickly, but is this really a disadvantage
After redecorating the majority of our rooms and realising that we had missed some bits on the ceiling, my other half requested purchasing the MagicWhite Matt Paint, as I never was one to fall for a gimmick, I suggested that we save the money and plough it elsewhere into the decorating other than on some paint that you can see where you have painted but he was adamant that this was good stuff and would provide the best finish so off we trotted to B&Q to stock up on our painting supplies.
We were spoilt for choice Dulux, Crown and B&Q all did their version of the magic pink to white paint, I was trying to convince him to get the B&Q own brand which was cheaper but he had his mind set on purchasing the Dulux version as he claimed this would be better and you get what you pay for.
