Review title: Skip it Product review: Ugh. This is a rote, by the numbers, mind-numbing LA cop drama. You've seen the same thing done dozens of times, only better. The performances are lugubrious, the script is unremarkable. The basic premise of the film is that LAPD corruption was responsible for the riots in LA following the verdict in the Rodney King police beating case, and the film endeavors to show a slice of that corruption. The result is more of a lecture than a film, with too much emphasis put on hastily drawn characters with no apparent motivation for their actions and grandstanding socially conscious speeches that ring totally hollow. If you go into this expecting to see something on the order of LA Confidential, Colors or Training Day, you will be sadly disappointed. This film does not approach any of those on any level, except to appropriate something approximating their look.

Review title: Cheaper than an HDTV, even though it is. Product review: You probably know how great it is, but i just wanna give you some tips:1.) Your PC might not support the akward 1400 X 900 res, but you can go online and download PowerStrip and it will add that res to your PC.2.) When playing on an XBOX 360 component, your cross-hairs will have a slight egg shape to them, and everything will appear a little taller than it should. If you don't have OCD, then it shouldn't be a ploblem.3.) Contrast sucks on Component.4.) Thinking about buying a PS3? you can still conect it to this monitor thingy by buying a HDMI to DVI adapter for $30 at monster.Can someone see if you can switch between DVI and VGA if you have them both plugged in?

Review title: Disappointing Product review: Quite possibly one of the worst books I've ever read. If you're into reading about a bunch of losers and excessive animal cruelty, then go for it. The degree to which the author relies on torturing animals to print a story is a little extreme. I hate that I wasted my money.
