You Frame Canvas Kit

So you’ve taken the greatest photo of your life, your very own equivalent of that one with all the builders eating lunch on a New York skyscraper. What does one do with it, after you’ve received the Ansel Adams Award, of course? Well, you could do an awful lot worse than using the You Frame Canvas Kit, which will take your super snap and attractively display it on a beautiful canvas. No bulky frames, just clean lines and a lovely finish. What’s more, there’s no chance of it warping either. It’s surprisingly easy to do (no queuing up at the camera shop while the Saturday boy accidentally erases your USB), and in no time you’ll have that snap hanging on your wall. All you need to do is take your picture, pop it on your PC, print it out on the provided canvas (you’re given two sheets of high-quality A4 material) and construct your frame. It’s a mini-Meccano of little poles, double-sided tape and the like, but extremely easy to build. This system literally takes care of everything, and the handy online tutorial will clear up any problems you might encounter. With your photo printed onto canvas and framed, you can easily add a touch of class to your empty wall. Instant chic wherever you decide to hang it. Family snaps take on a new arty gravitas and scenery shots almost look like paintings. It’s a lovely way to show off how good you are with a camera. Snap, print, frame – it’s as simple as that.

Gremlins/Gremlins 2 – The New Batch [DVD] [1984]

Posted by Notcot on Oct 16, 2010 in Gadgets

Average Rating: 4.0 / 5 (8 Reviews)

Cross It’s A Wonderful Life with ET and Invasion Of The Body Snatchers and you’ll get something close to these entertaining and occasionally grotesque tales from producer Steven Spielberg, writer Chris Columbus and director Joe Dante.

In the first film we meet Billy Peltzer (played by Zach Galligan), a young man whose inventor father (Hoyt Axton) gives him an odd Christmas present in the shape of a tiny, adorable furry creature called a Mogwai, which is named Gizmo. The pet comes with a set of rules: don’t get him wet, don’t feed him after midnight and keep him away from direct sunlight. But Galligan breaks the first rule and the damp little critter pops out a dozen smaller offspring. Then the offspring break the second rule and, overnight, turn from cute furry guys to malevolent scale-covered trolls with world domination on their mind. The only way to stop them: rule three. But it’s an anxious (and extremely funny) battle to make it to daylight, with the bad gremlins finding ingenious ways to multiply over and over until they’re a force to be reckoned with.

In the sequel, Zach Galligan is back, along with Phoebe Cates, his girlfriend from the first film. They’re both working in an ultramodern skyscraper owned by a Donald Trump clone (a hilarious John Glover). Galligan’s furry little buddy is captured by a mad scientist, who not only helps it multiply, but invests the nasty, scaly offspring with intelligence and the ability to talk. What follows is imaginative mayhem that spoofs old movies, modern television, and the conveniences of postmodern technology. In many ways, the sequel is even more inventive and laughter-inducing than the original.

Both films are packed with special effects, all the most impressive when you consider the gremlins are puppets, not computer generated imagery. Expect a wild and fun-packed (if occasionally dark and scary) ride.
