Review title: Usual slander against the liberator of the Jews Product review: Whose Red Army freed the survivors of Hitler's death-camps? Whose Red Army defeated the most murderous anti-Semite of all time? Whose Red Army smashed 70% of Hitlers' army? The Red Army liberated Poland from the Nazi mass-murderers, freeing the Jews from Treblinka. Lazar Kaganovich, a Jew, was Stalin's deputy for years. Maxim Litvinov, a Jew, was his Foreign Minister for years. Stalin fought for his country, uniting all who could be united against the common capitalist foe. He fought against all those who opposed Soviet rule and tried to restore capitalism, whether they were Jewish, Muslim, Christian, atheist or Buddhist. The working class movement has always opposed any from of discrimination based on religion or 'race' (a nonsense term anyway). Empires and capitalists have always used 'divide and rule'; workers have always sought to 'unite and liberate'.

Review title: Bad bad book Product review: Ok, the author says we christians massacrated the islamic culture in Spain. According to him, the moors were so superior, superior to those "barbarians" as all the time he calls the christians in his book. Disgusting kind of literature. Isabel of Castela was the greatest stateman (or statewoman) of her time, and she is described in the book as a bloody fool, thirsty for moors' blood. Come on! The author does not understand that it was a mere question of politics, the reconquer of Grenade. Another fact that made me sick: the moors were not violent! No, when they invaded the south of Portugal and Spain, it was a desert, nobody's land. Really???

Review title: Owned macs my entire adult life, this one is the worst Product review: I love macs, and never thought I would be putting one down. I thought I was upgrading when I sold my G4 ibook and bought this. It is primarily a frame for the spinning beach ball that seems to constantly be on the screen (while you wait for the program, page etc. to load). I also was stiffed the [...] rebate form apple - really dissapointing. I can't reccomend PCs, Linux seems too much trouble, so I don't know what I would suggest.

Review title: The equal of the Kurosawa films Product review: I hesitate to give very many films 5 stars, hence only 4 here, but I definitely feel that this trilogy is the equal of the fine Kurosawa Samurai films mentioned in other reviews. in fact I think they are superior to the somewhat overrated "Yojimbo" and "Sanjuro".I think that the packaging of these 3 films separately is misleading, it really is a trilogy, even more so than the Star Wars trilogy - there is little point to just seeing one.The greater time and space of a triple-length feature allows the filmmaker to give greater depth of characterization, and it is used well in these films.Some of the cinematography alone makes these films well worth seeing. Admittedly, the expense of 3 unseen films is significant, so consider renting them - and then return here to add them to your collection.
