Title: Quite dated, bad humor Review: This 1966 relic has achieved a certain cult status by virtue of its brilliant poster, which has been circulated worldwide and on T-shirts. The actual movie, however, is quite lame. The narration has dated badly. The first half, when the two teen surfers are in Africa, is non-PC in the extreme. Nowhere do they speak. The film is entirely narrated by Bruce Brown, who is seen in a few short clips of surfers. The soundtrack of surf music is one of the highpoints. The film ignores surfing in S. America, the Carribean, the Mediterranean and much of the southern Pacific. We never find out who financed their global excursion, nor anything else about them at all. Therefore, we don't really care about their search for the 'perfect' wave. A rather trivial film, but still charming as a period piece. Is the review positive or negative?

Title: Vocal Mix Stands Alone Review: Wow, I would have expected more from the pumpkins on this one. Well, Billy's not the one who does all the remixes, so I've still got full faith in him. Track #1 (Vocal Mix) is even better than the original 1979. The last three, however, don't even sound like the song. They don't have the lyrics or remotely sound like anything familiar... you can't even dance to it! So, if you like paying 10+ bucks for one song, go for it. If not, get some other Pumpkins stuff!

Title: Definitely for Beginners Review: I believe this book would be very helpful for someone who is just beginning to consider printing a book. It is simple and very detailed, and points out the time and effort it takes to get something written and printed. There is lots of practical advice.In my opinion, for those of us who have already ventured into the field, the book is a little simplistic. I hoped to get some helpful hints, but am finding mostly what I already know. So if you are new or just thinking about self-publishing, check it out! Is the review positive or negative?
