Advantages: Story okay for kids, humour brilliant for adults Disadvantages: Okay so the plot's weak.. .but who cares?!?!?
International Rescue. They go around the world rescuing people from natual and other catastrophes in their five hi-tech craft called "Thunderbirds" - numbered one to five. These craft have different abilities - one is actually a space station, one an underwater craft, one a rocket ship, etc. That should give you enough of an idea about the original to understand the rest of my review - if it doesn't, let me know!
One of the main potential problems is that the main characters - Jeff Tracy and his sons - are? well, boring. However, the scriptwriters wisely chose to all but leave them out of this film - Bill Paxman as the dad gets a couple of scenes, but the sons between them have only about five minutes' worth of screen time! (John - presumably the son they didn't like - keeps a permanent lookout on a space station [Thunderbird 5]. When it is ...

Advantages: Good fun, entertaining, well realised Disadvantages: Weak plot
It seems ages ago since I saw Thunderbirds. In fact, it was our anniversary on July 25th, so it wasn?t too long ago really, but I have seen two other films at the cinema since. Oh well, Ciao have caught up now and Thunderbirds is finally listed, so let me cast my mind back. Well, a couple of weeks ago is a long time at my age ;-)

Then my son went through a Thunderbirds period and we had to buy him all the toys. (He?s still JeffTracy on Ciao!) But what really made me want to see the 2004 film version was good old nostalgia. I watched a BBC programme last year presented by Nicki Chapman and they did a behind-the-scenes feature. The realisation of Lady Penelope?s pink ...

Advantages: Does the job Disadvantages: See inside
emails, with happy faces bouncing about the screen because the software is not the purchased one. So i had to research to get another program.
And after researching a good few, i was directed towards thunderbird as i liked the name and the layout of it. and as i didnt hear of it before, i wanted to try it. and i am using it every day now and i like it.
When you set up the program for the first time, you have your emails set up in the top panel and the mail messages in the bottom panel wioth the email folders on the left hand side. its the norm... but i like having my contacts on the screen aswell, so i had to download an addon which would store my contacts on my main screen.
Its very easy to do, all you do is download them on to your computer , then browse for them inn the add-ons section. and vwalla they work. there are about 100 add ...
