Are Generic Electric Toothbrush Heads Worth It? We Find Out

If you’re buying an electric toothbrush, you’ll need to factor in ongoing costs. Chiefly, this means buying a new toothbrush head every three months. You’ll be spending another $/£20-50 per year, depending on whether you buy in bulk, on sale or at full price. But, as anyone who’s ever browsed Amazon can tell you, there is a cheaper option. And that’s to buy compatible heads. They’re designed to work with a branded electric brush handle – but crucially aren’t made by that brand. A full year’s worth of these…

Gassed Up review – generic moped crime drama goes nowhere fast | Crime films

This is not the best week to be releasing a film that features a character spraying a corrosive liquid at the victim of a botched robbery. Although this London-based moped crime drama pointedly condemns the acid-chucker, it still, given recent events, feels horribly jarring as a plot device. The film follows Ash (Stephen Odubola) as he gets sucked into a phone-snatching crime spree, first to earn money to support his schoolgirl sister, but later as much for the jolt of adrenaline it gives him.The story is so generic that…

`Upgraded` movie review: Interesting setup but generic and unfunny

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League review: a generic looter shooter

A chaotic sludge of information covers the screen, with detonating colors, words, and numbers flying everywhere — button prompts ping the sides, explosions drown out the voices of team members and mission givers. This was my kaleidoscopic experience playing Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, the latest game from the otherwise incredible Rocksteady Studios, creators of the intricately designed Batman: Arkham games.Acting as a follow-up in the same universe, Suicide Squad sees you take control of the titular squad of a…

It’s his first American film in 20 years. The title obviously alludes to the season of joy and a gimmicky conceit that fractures its…

Get our free weekly email for all the latest cinematic news from our film critic Clarisse LoughreyGet our The Life Cinematic email for freeTake That’s lyrics have always been rich with affecting but generic platitudes like “stop being so hard on yourself” and “we’ve come so far, and we’ve reached so high”. Greatest Days, Coky Giedroyc’s big screen transfer of “the official Take That musical”, finds an equally broad theme on which to pin itself: how the glue that holds together young female friendships can often be a…
