For What It's Worth - Stick To Your Guns

Stick It On

Advantages: Snappy pacing and nicely shot action.
Disadvantages: Cliches aplenty and total predictability.

-dancing rears its ugly head. And obviously there is a scene where the gymnasts break out of their routine and go and do something fun, which, in this case involves doing gymnastics in prom dresses around a shopping mall. But although the story and relationships may be by-the-numbers, it is carried by the swift pacing and snappy dialogue. Haley is the sort of stroppy teenager with an answer for everything and she spends much of her time insulting her coach or bitchy team-mate Joanna. And Joanna's speech is peppered with constant word misuse, like telling her coach to "remember the penile code". The other thing that makes the film slightly different to others is the use of fantasy, where the gymnasts imagine the judges trying to do what they do or trying to take the podium from them. But you get the impression Bendinger could have used a stronger ...

It's Not Called Gym-Nice-Sticks

Advantages: Lots of gym!
Disadvantages: Not a lot of (believable) story

There's Perfect Body (which only ever made it onto Region 1 DVD) and the everso similar Little Girls In Pretty Boxes (which languishes on Channel 5 / the Hallmark Channel and never got its deserved DVD release). There's a dubious one called American Anthem from the mid 1980s that was out on VHS. If you're willing to expand the gym theme to tumbling and dancing, there's also Sugar and Spice, and the 4 Bring It Ons (the latest was released on Boxing Day 2007), but these are cheerleading themed rather than "proper" gym. For a sport with such a huge fan base you'd think there would be a market for more gym films, especially of the Mary Kate and Ashley style straight-to-DVD variety, but that's all there is really that I (and ...

What it's for and why it's worth it!

Advantages: You can use it for everything and anything!
Disadvantages: Very strong and thick so can get messy!

The miracle buy we've all heard of but are too scared to try! The truth is once you try it you'll be hooked-I now regulary have a back up in the cupboard. Prices on it have dropped and if you nosy around Superdrug you'll find it eaisly for around £18, it lasts for ages so dont be afraid to splash out! However I have one pain with this, it should be marketed as a balm not a cream! This is not something you stick on your face every night, its a skin treat for when you really need it. Something to use when you feel like a bit of pampering and dont have to rush off anywhere. Anyway onto the pros & uses- 1. It's great for any skin irritation, anywhere. Elbows, dry feet, sunburn, you name it whip it out and in a few hours it'll be gone. 2. Great for a perk me up, when flying, whack some on and by the end of the flight it'll be totally ...
