Advantages: It's relatively short Disadvantages: It's unoriginal in all aspects
survive and that one of the players is a highly skilled computer hacker, how come the term "electromagnetic pulse" never springs to mind as a way to destroy them? The whole concept feels tired and every aspect has previously appeared elsewhere. The laziest example is the final voice-over monologue that is a very lame steal from "Terminator".
As is usual in Hollywood movies, the cast are all too old for the parts they play. As Mattie, Kristen Bell comes across as a sullen and petulant teen with too much eye make-up. She's the sort of bland movie good girl who is too stupid to empathise with. She doesn't appear to notice her friends are vanishing without trace and doesn't run when she has the chance. She doesn't have enough fight in her to convince as a heroine and you'll be hard pushed to care about anything that happens to her.

Advantages: Fun, Keep fit and toned, make friends, teamwork Disadvantages: Well groomed girls with long nails!!! agghhhh
Netball is the sport to do!!! it is ideal for keeping fit as een the shortest of games raises the heartrate providing a good cardio workout. the constant marking and dodging improves flexibility and agility which cant be a bad thing. the ideas of the game mean that all players must work together towards a common goal - WINNING!!!! this improves our teamworking abilities. netball is not only a girls sport. in my experiences i have found that when given a chance, our males counterparts enjoy the game just as much if not more than us females. Netball is a sport for all. Just watch out for those keen players who have acrilic nails, far too long to be suitable for the sport!!!!! ouch!
It always seems that us girls are born knowing the rules of netbal. i can however, see how some people would initially struglle to remember all of the rules ...

Advantages: Characters, Story. Disadvantages: A little slow to begin with.
It's quite easy to dismiss What's Eating Gilbert Grape as being another clichéd love story if you choose to judge the film purely for its tagline "a film about the love you find... in the last place you look." If you choose to venture deeper, beyond the fairytale publicity, you will find that this film is actually a lot more realistic than the headlines attempt to make out.
What's Eating Gilbert Grape is a family story with plenty of surprises, based on the novel by Peter Hedges. Gilbert (Johnny Depp) is in charge of caring for his mentally handicapped brother, Arnie (Leonardo DiCaprio), while his sisters cook and clean for their 500-pound Mother (Darlene Cates). After the death of their Father a number of years ago, Gilbert has (reluctantly) been promoted to the male head of the Grape family. He also has to work at a local food store ...
