Title: Chinese Education Review: If one looks past the obvious, about the untrained young women trying to teach a class in abject poverty. If you go past the happy ending, and search within. You will find a powerful film, that relates the terrible conditions of education in rural China today. The fact that they did not use professional actors, makes the film even more compelling, as you see China caught in a cultural transition, that it is not sure how to deal with. The scenes from the city with the unemployed peasants, met up with the bureacrats of the systems, show the many problems the Chinese will face in trying to change. It also shows that change is possible. Is this product review negative?

Title: Good Purchase Review: I bought this as gift for my wife as she enjoys the program. The first and 3rd seasons played fine on my DVD player and are fine. The second season discs would not play on my DVD player though. From looking at the covers on each DVD it appears they are a recorded set not an original. I was however able to play them on my PC which is hooked up to my HDTV so we watched them that way but the quality was poor and not HD. We are still enjoying the third season. For the price of all three seasons it was worth it. Is this product review negative?

Title: A Surprise Review: Just recieved the Christian Standard Bible today. I have read through the Bible at least 32 times cover to cover -- and I mean gneeologies and all. I began the practice that many years ago with the purpose of getting a more balanced view of what the Bible has to say to us. As a rule I read a different translation and usually with the purpose of researching a specific subject. I realize that as a layman I would approach a look at a new edition of the Bible with a different view than a Bible scholar. However, I was greatly impressed with the readability, the footnotes and the overall quality of such a reasonably priced volume. I have paid much, much more for leather bound high quality editions that were, bottom line, not comparable.I would not be at all surprised to see this edition in time become more popular than the NIV, NKJ, or NRVS and many others.

Title: Luminous interpretations Review: How can you possibly add anything to Nick Drake's small but perfect body of work? This collection of jazz, neo-folk & faintly electronica covers tackles that daunting task & succeeds beautifully. The melancholy & wistful wonder of his songs comes through clearly, sparkling like beads of morning dew. As with any such collection, some tracks will resonate more deeply than others -- you won't agree with every choice made by the artists. Still, if you already know & love Nick's music, these unique interpretations will make you hear it anew. A very welcome addition to his slim canon, most highly recommended!
