Review title: Lost in Translation is a Looser Product review: "Lost In Translation" is a looser. Bill Murray is his typical dead-pan dull self projecting the same persona he has perfected in all his other films from his "Stripes" and "Ghost Busters" days. He is a straight man in search of a side kick to breath life into his act. He has not found one to date.The story is about a man out of his culture. Bill Murray plays the American buffoon stumbling into and around in a land (Japan) totally alien to him. Do you want an in-depth analysis of the story line? I just gave it to you. This film is not that deep.If you are a Bill Murray groupie you will love this film. If you are a Bill Murray groupie you need to get out to other films. Rent some films with Ben Kingsley in them if you want to see a versatile actor. Broaden your horizons.I am always in search of something good to say about a movie...ah, a colleague lent me this DVD so I didn't pay a cent. There you have it, a positive aspect of "Lost In Translation."

Product review: I purchased this CD for my 13 year old. I like Brian Reagan because he is a clean comic and very funny. I don't have to worry about the subject matter or language when my son is listening to him. My son listens to this CD all the time!

Product review: I was very dissapointed with this movie, dumb plot and annoying actors. A movie that's closer to the scene is 'Requiem for a Dream' and that's only because Ken Ishii was the sound engineer. Do not waste your money on this one, instead by a mix CD and create your own scene!

Review title: Thanks for Nothing Product review: Bundled edition with David Attenborough on "Planet Earth" and Oprah on "Life"? No, thank you. The only reason that I can figure that they bundled it this way is because they cannot sell the Oprah version of "Life." Nobody wants it (except for women who are home at 4 p.m. on weekdays), so just drop it. Call me when you bundle both Attenborough versions together.
