Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb

Posted by Notcot on May 9, 2010 in Cult Film

Average Rating: 4.5 / 5 (35 Reviews)

Amazon.co.uk Review
Arguably the greatest black comedy ever made, Stanley Kubrick’s cold war classic is the ultimate satire of the nuclear age. Dr. Strangelove is a perfect spoof of political and military insanity, beginning when General Jack D. Ripper (Sterling Hayden), a maniacal warrior obsessed with “the purity of precious bodily fluids,” mounts his singular campaign against Communism by ordering a squadron of B-52 bombers to attack the Soviet Union. The Soviets counter the threat with a so-called “Doomsday Device,” and the world hangs in the balance while the US president (Peter Sellers) engages in hilarious hot-line negotiations with his Soviet counterpart. Sellers also plays a British military attaché and the mad bomb-maker Dr. Strangelove; George C. Scott is outrageously frantic as General Buck Turgidson, whose presidential advice consists mainly of panic and statistics about “acceptable losses.” With dialogue (“You can’t fight here! This is the war room!”) and images (Slim Pickens’ character riding the bomb to oblivion) that have become a part of our cultural vocabulary, Kubrick’s film regularly appears on critics’ lists of the all-time best. –Jeff Shannon, Amazon.com –This text refers to another version of this video.

Alcosense One Digital Breathalyser – Easy to Use & understand.

Posted by Notcot on May 2, 2010 in In-Car Technology

Average Rating: 5.0 / 5 (2 Reviews)

Product Description
Low cost, reliable and everyone can afford it. Youve got to love the AlcoSense ONE! Entry level yes, but not baseline components. Using new technology like MEMS sensors the AlcoSense ONE beats the competition hands down at a similar price point.

INDEPENDENTLY APPROVED

AlcoSense ONE is the lowest priced product EVER to be approved by the tough US Dept of Transport Standard for Hand Held Breathalysers. The US DoT Approval process includes hundreds of accuracy tests at different temperatures, humilities and alcohol concentrations. The US shares the same drink drive limit as the UK, but sadly no UK approval process exists.

EASY TO USE

Like its bigger brothers, the AlcoSense ONE has been designed to be as easy as possible to use. To do a breath test all you need to do is turn the unit on, wait for it to count down to zero and then blow until it beeps and shows your reading.

USE IT AGAIN & AGAIN

AlcoSense ONE can be used again and again. As the unit features no chamber cleaning or purge technology for the most accurate results we recommend waiting one hour between tests. If you wish to do multiple tests in a short time we recommend considering the AlcoSense Lite or Elite for their sensor clean and purge features.

ACCURATE

AlcoSense ONE is the lowest priced product ever to meet and exceed the US Dept of Transport accuracy tests (there is no UK standard). Every AlcoSense unit is tested for accuracy three times before leaving our factory. As a result our quality control is arguably the best in the industry meaning that you can have 100% faith in our products. AlcoSense ONE has industry leading accuracy of +/-0.25BAC which is unique in this price range.

WHY DELAY

Part of the responsible enjoyment of alcohol is to understand its effect on the body and to understand when you are safe to drive, AlcoSenseTM helps people do exactly that and takes out the potentially fatal guess work the morning after. Dont leave it to chance, order yours today.

  • Easy to use & understand
  • Sleek Design
  • Use it over again
  • Very accurate reading

Army of Darkness

Posted by Notcot on Apr 15, 2010 in Cult Film

Average Rating: 4.0 / 5 (45 Reviews)

Amazon.co.uk Review
It’s hard not to feel there’s something wrong when Army of Darkness, the third entry in Sam Raimi’s lively Evil Dead series, opens with a 15 certificate. And indeed, this is not quite the non-stop rollercoaster of splat we’re entitled to expect.

Like Evil Dead II, it opens with a digest-cum-remake of the original movie, taking geeky Ash (Bruce Campbell) back out to that cabin in the woods where he is beset by demons who do away with his girlfriend (blink and you’ll miss Bridget Fonda). Blasted back in time to 12th century England, Ash finds himself still battling the Deadites and his own ineptitude in a quest to save the day and get back home.

Though it starts zippily, with Campbell’s grimly funny clod of a hero commanding the screen, a sort of monotony sets in as magical events pile up. Ash is attacked by Lilliputian versions of himself, one of whom incubates in his stomach and grows out of his shoulder to be his evil twin. After being dismembered and buried, Evil Ash rises from the dead to command a zombie army and at least half the film is a big battle scene in which rotted warriors (nine mouldy extras in masks for every one Harryhausen-style impressive animated skeleton) besiege a cardboard castle. There are lots of action jokes, MAD Magazine-like marginal doodles and a few funny lines, but it lacks the authentic scares of The Evil Dead and the authentic sick comedy of Evil Dead II.

On the DVD: Army of Darkness may be the least of the trilogy, but Anchor Bay’s super two-disc set is worthy of shelving beside their outstanding editions of the earlier films. Disc 1 contains the 81-minute US theatrical version in widescreen or fullscreen, plus the original “Planet of the Apes” ending, the trailer and a making-of featurette. Disc 2 has the 96-minute director’s cut, with extra slapstick and a lively, irreverent commentary track from Raimi, Campbell and co-writer Ivan Raimi, plus yet more deleted scenes and some storyboards. The fact that the film exists in so many versions suggests that none of them satisfied everybody, but fans will want every scrap of Army in this one package. –Kim Newman
