Title: Military sci-fi with a twist: real characters Review: I am a great fan of military science fiction, despite the fact that most of it is - to be blunt - simplistic mind candy. In this series, Williams has managed to combine an interesting read on space war and interplanetary politics in the far future with a real rarity in military sci-fi: characters who might actually pass for human beings. Having just finished several volumes of a puzzlingly popular military sci-fi series by another author I found the transition to Williams' trilogy to be the literary equivalent of diving into a big juicy steak after spending a week living on salsa and chips.

Title: A poor translation of an interesting book Review: There's no doubt that Raymond Chandler is a wonderful writer. But this film version of The Long Goodbye does not do the book any justice. It throws out the 1930's historical context and sets the book in the 1960's. This does not work. Elliot Gould is totally miscast as Philip Marlowe, Chandler's famous private eye. Gould lacks the toughness and wit of Chandler's Marlowe as well as the mannerisms and philosophy. Not surprising, The Long Goodbye is a complete flop. Don't waste your time and money on this film even if you love Chandler, Marlowe and film noir. Thomas Lee. Is this product review negative?

Title: STAY AWAY! Review: I am a big fan of The Wolfman, Frankenstein, Dracula and The Mummy, the original 'classic four' as I call them. I bought each dvd as packaged/marketed as the Universal Monster Collection. I returned all four. The Wolfman's iconic scene of his transformation by Lon Chaney, Jr into 'The Wolfman' was totally missing. Not skipping...missing as it not on the dvd copy. I also watched 'Frankenstein' and the entire scene where the monster is befriended by the blind man...missing....as in not there. This scene is the most pivotal of the entire film, speaking to not judging by people by appearances. These are very low quality, incomplete versions. I read several of the 4-star reviews and all I can say is that I had a completely different experience. In all fairness, I did not screen Dracula or The Mummy as I didn't have the time to waste and I do not want to support whomever is distributing this junk. Is this product review negative?
