Good old days
|
I watched Perry Mason regularly when it was first aired. It was always a very special program for me. That was a long time ago, but it is still just as entertaining. I'm certainly happy to see it and a number of the older TV programs being offered this way. Our youngsters shouldn't have to miss out on this wholesome type of programing.

Brings Back Old Memories
|
Having been fans of Perry Mason "back in the day", we enjoyed this collection. Naturally, there are a number of dated references & action (e.g. everyone smoking cigarettes, and the '50's vintage cars), but nonetheless these are fun to watch.

5 Star Video

You can't go wrong in ordering this boxed set of Perry Mason. All episodes are very well done and clear in black and white format, which is the same as the original series was produced in. Also, all episodes are in order from the date of appearance on the original network. All in All I highly recommend this box set as a must for Perry Mason Fans...

Very faint...not sure whether I am pregnant or not?
|
This is not a very good test kit because the positive line was very faint when I tested two days after I missed my period. So not sure whether I am pregnant or not after testing with this. I used different test kit and it showed a clear positive pregnancy.

Some copies received were in poor condition
|
Academic Duty is an excellent book for new faculty. I ordered 10 books which came from 5 different locations. Some of the books had smudges on the covers and some covers were even bent. I doubt I will give some of the books out because of their condition--they just look worn and I ordered new books. Will probably try to order more from a regular book dealer.

Not worth it
|
All I have to say is, this book isn't worth the time it takes to read it. I'm a huge fan of comics, especially "Foxtrot", so I thought I'd like "Zits". Don't get me wrong, there were some moderately funny parts, but overall, I wasn't too impressed. If I had to recommend a comic book for kids my age, I'd go with "Foxtrot".

One of the best of the contemporary comic strips
|
"Zits" is a comic strip that soared into popularity when it first debuted in 1997. Featuring 15-year old aspiring rock musician Jeremy Duncan, his sort-of girlfriend Sarah Toomey, best friend Hector, and the entire Duncan family, classmates, and teachers. Don't Roll Your Eyes At Me, Young Man! is a very funny collection that will be truly appreciated by those already familiar with Jeremy through their own local newspaper, and admirably serve to introduce one of the best of the contemporary comic strips to legions of new readers.

old and simple
|
It's not a big book. I have the hardbound edition of 1981. No photos or drawings. A simple book.My Grandmother was of English, Welch, and Irish origins. So some of this book brings back kitchen memories.Shepards Pie, fried bread and bacon, rice pudding (custard in America), roast beef and Yorkshire pud (popovers in America).There are good hints, advice, definitions, for the begineer. Variations are sometimes stated. My Gran's bread pudding had raisins as the recipe on page 179 states but the raisins were soaked first and no sugar used. I seem to recall a very light addition of vanilla instead of a liquer. A bacon variant is on page 243. Basic ideas a cook can develop.

One is sure to be pleased with the inside joke
|
The delight in this book is not only in the recipes, which I have enjoyed immensely. Jane Garmey's wit in the presentation makes one sense a wink at the poor reputation British food generally holds, just as her recipes give it the lie. Generally, British food at its best is wonderful... trouble is that finding it 'at its best' often requires a journey.The volume is not exhaustive, but presents many classic dishes, most easily prepared (and some which would appeal to, for example, one so avidly traditional as to spend the two months it takes for genuine plum pudding.) It is a pleasant sampler of varied main dish, savoury, pudding, and tea favourites.I would highly recommend this book to those who enjoy cooking. There are many items here which do not require unusual effort or odd ingredients, and can have wonderful results.

A must for every kitchen...

Like a previous reviewer I too have spent time in the U.K. (as I married a Scotsman). The recipes in here are the standards to British cooking. I've tried many other and this is by far the best for anyone wanting to cook British meals in the U.S. The measurements have all been scaled for an American kitchen and every recipe I've tried has come out wonderful. A LOVELY BOOK!!!!

My Favorite Cookbook
|
I purchased this book in 1983. I purchased a second, paperback version this year, as my original is well worn (and very well loved). I have used it countless times, cooking my way through most of its recipes. It has never failed me and has provided me with many dishes that are now family classics. It is a true gem--simple to use, charmingly written and fool proof in its results. If you have any interest in British food or British heritage this book is a treasure.

Canon Battery? Not.
|
From the title of this item offered by Accessory Genie, I was led to believe I would be receiving a Canon-brand battery. What I received was a Pro Power battery that fits the Canon camera -- like many other batteries offered on Amazon. The others were brand specific, I feel this one is deceptive.How well does it work? Only time will tell as I've only had it for about a week. It claims to have a three year warranty. We'll see...I had to give the 2-star rating based on the bait-n-switch or the lack of the reference of the Pro Power brand. I should've noticed it was a shady product when the Product Description was laden with spammed keywords.

Too much information and bulky!
|
I received this book as a gift and have been debating whether to give it away or not. Only thing keeping me from doing so is the thought that the gift-giver may someday want to see it! The book is HUGE and doesn't fit on any normal book shelf. It is incredibly bulky, heavy, and the wood cover makes it cumbersome. It requires way too much information and does not provide enough creativity to add in things that might be unique to your child. Many of the pages have long lists of entries - so if a few apply to your child the page looks essentially blank and you look like a bad parent. Would NOT recommend this book - everytime I open it I feel delinquent for not knowing the answers to all of the questions it is asking! Plus - it goes up until your child is practically in high school - some apparently like this aspect of the book - I find it to be way too much!

Could be better

Worked great for about 7-8 months, i bought 2. Then they both stopped working.I like that they hold 4 months worth of food, and you can feed 4 times a day.Just don't know why they only lasted 7-8 months.

garbage
|
Let's see, first it jammed. So then I thought that I would just fill each individual feeding slot and be able to feed twice a day for a week. That worked for a few weeks until the feeder arms bent enough to just keep the feeder engaged and it fed all of the food in one day. And, even if it had worked as it should have, there is no way to adjust the amount of food that this thing feeds. Do not waste your money on this piece of garbage.

Cheap piece of crap

I should have never ordered this item. Should have read the negative reviews first. Save yourself the $2.40. Got this thing and the first day it breaks. My speaker fell off my desktop and the plug broke right off like it was nothing. Not worth the metal its made with. Don't order it. I decided to take the loss of my $2.40 since I'd rather not deal with customer service, even if I could get a refund.

it took a few tries

i originally ordered three stereo plugs and they sent me three mono plugs. Since the price was so small, I decided to let it fly, but did write a not so good review. They immediately got back to me and said they'd send another order out. They did, but again they sent the mono plugs. This time i photographed them and showed them that they again sent the wrong plugs. The other day i finally received three stereo plugs. I appreciate the effort they made to correctly fulfill this order. They, apparently, had some issues with inventory (probably dumped mono plugs into stereo plug bin) but they did send me 6 of the mono plugs before sending me the correct order.

Adapter didn't work.
|
I ordered this jack to be able to interface the 1/4-inch cable output from my guitar with a 1/8-inch input for recording. When I tried it out for the first time, my device didn't record any audio input. I pulled out an oscilloscope to see where the problem was, and after a few tests found that the adapter simply didn't work. The output of my guitar gave a proper signal, and I detected the same signal on the end of the 1/4-inch cable that I was inputting into the adapter. No signal was detected on the 1/8-inch male end of the adapter.I would not recommend purchasing this product.

I ordered this item in the hopes of adapting my headphones for use with a 1/8 inch port. instead, i got something else. what should have had a 1/4 inch female to 1/8 inch male connection instead had a 3.5mm (1/8 inch) female end, and a 2.5mm male end.so, i am now stuck with a near useless peice of equipment that does not accomodate my headphones in the slightest. admittedly, there doesen't seem to be anything wrong with the construction of the piece, and I ASSUME it works, but seing as how i don't have anything with a 2.5mm port, I WOULDN'T KNOW.

which plug to buy...
|
I needed an adapter to connect my headphones (which have a larger plug) into my keyboard (which has a smaller socket.) After spending a good deal of time pondering whether to buy the "1/4 to 1/8" or "1/8 to 1/4," as I could find pictures of neither of them, and the description doesn't really make sense if you're not technologically literate ("Permits use of any full-size stereo headphone to a stereo mini-corder" What's a stereo headphone? and what's a stereo mini-corder? 1/4" to 1/8"? But in what direction?) I bought both of them, and found out that I needed the 1/8 to 1/4. so I wasted $2, but now no one else has to wonder this. So I'm sure this plug does what it is supposed to, but I guess I'll neve know.

Worst purchase yet
|
OK, maybe I'm just being dramatic because I'm pissed. I got the right adapter, plugged it in, and it worked (just meh, though, nothing worth complimenting). I pull it out after about a minute of a test, and a piece of it had broken off and lodged itself in my headphone jack. Now my computer thinks that there are always headphones in, so the speakers won't play. Also, after I pulled it out, it separated from the plastic shell into a bunch of components. Obviously crappy quality, don't waste your time.

softest blanket you can imagine

I loved this blanket! It was so soft and large, and very pretty. My baby just snuggles up in it. The only drawback is that it does not seem to be as absorbant as some other blankets. If your baby drools or spits up on it, it tends to not soak up and runs onto you or the baby more often than not.

Not good for baby's health
|
Many people at my shower had given me gift sets which included these super snuggly receiving blankets. At first, I loved them, because they were extra soft and kept the baby warm. But soon I learned that they needed to be washed a lot, because the smallest spot on them turns kinda hard and crusty :P Upon speaking to my pediatrician, she informed me that fleece was not good for breathing. The wool not only causes allergy problems with some people, and can trigger asthma attacks in babies who are prone, but overall you are breathing in fibers which is hazardous. She also advised ME not to sleep with a fleece blanket, or to use one for my dog.

I got this "good boy collar" for my lab to remind him that he needs to have good manners, even when he's not within arms reach.

This is a well made (quality) product. The control unit is small compared to other manufacturers and models making it nice to put in your pocket or using the lanyard.

After a raccoon raid on my outdoor pond I ordered this product and have found it to be almost a joke as a pest deterrent. Not only is is ineffective, the direction page was of little or no value in assembling the barrier. It took several phone calls to the distributor and the manufacture rep to get the fence poweder up, only to find the the least little bit of debris cancels out the electrical charge which might deter some pests - certainly not the ones in my area. Save your money and get a product that has some "bite" to it

I reviewed this book at the store for an hour so you don't have to. This book contains the following, a very confusing tedious test to take, buying 50 or more supplements, taking these supplements all day at different times during several months, jumping on trampolines, and eating cruciferous veggies. Very nutty in that it wont tell you what day would look like on the diet or what foods you can eat, and it seems the publisher here has a vested interest in you buying these supplements. Don't waste your time. You will lose weight from sheer frustration.

Poor quality
|
The set looks nice and is lighter than it appears. However the quality of the product is very poor. The parts are cheaply made and don't fit well. The assembly instructions are clear but sometimes impossible to carry out. You'll need at least three pairs of hands to do it. The first chair took me about 20 minutes, the second one - about 10, the last two - about five minutes each. I assembled the last two in the order almost complete opposite to the instructions. One of the arrowbacks had dark spots all over it. The markings on the bottom of the table top for cross support (the part on which it rests) did not match the shape and size of that part and I had to draw my own. I was tempted to return the set but it had been packaged in foam to prevent scratching. The packaging is good to deliver the product to the consumer but impossible to reuse to ship back. I do not recommend this set.

I found the technical details of the airplane an her knowledge of flying in general fascinating.It is an interesting look at the future with an exciting twist at the end making the reader long for a sequel!!

Cheap and Functional
|
I bought this cable a while ago to connect my computer to my stereo receiver. The cable shields fairly well and is of decent quality for the price. It is not gold-tipped, which means that the connectors may oxidize after several years, but I do not see this as a big problem. A balanced cable from Monster or Acoustic Research would give better performance, but the Recoton series is fine for most applications. I plan to buy two more to connect my 6-channel sound card to a 5.1 receiver I am getting for Christmas.

My first experience..and I like it
|
My first experience with bare minerals was easy, fast and well worked. I have watched others use the product for various reasons ie; acne, sensitive skin, uneven tones... and they had a good result. As I am over the 40 mark, older skin begins to show it's age, with years of sun damage, fine blood vessels, reddening around your nose, occasional adult acne, etc. I was wary about spening money yet again on a product that claimed to do it all. But, I have used this lighter than air product. I feel it on my face, but when I look the complexion is even. I believe that continued use with a good skin care program and bare minerals could be a fantastic union.

THE BEST makeup for sensitive skin
|
I am one of those unfortunate women who is not only cursed with ultra fair skin; but, also cursed with rosacea as well as allergies to many skin care and cosmetic products. My skin is so delicate that I can't even wear Clinique without triggering a rash!A friend recommend that I try Bare Minerals and I decided to give it a shot since my long time standby, Lancome had begun to cause a reaction in my skin. A few weeks later, and the rosacea was gone along with the rashes! The coverage is far better than I've gotten with most liquid products and I have been surprised that after application, you don't even feel it is there as you do with most powder based products. I cannot say enough good things about this product and am purchasing a starter kit for my 12 year old. I don't want her to have to experiment and learn the hard way how to take care of her sensitive skin.

I'll never use another product again
|
I was really skeptical that I only needed to use such a tiny amount of product and that such a fine powder could cover my face... IT WILL! My skin is prone to redness and a little bit of acne, but just a little amount of BareMinerals smoothed out my face flawlessly. The brushes are luxurious and the product itself is a pleasure to put on. The powder is superfine and soft; it doesn't feel like you have any makeup on and it doesn't clog your pores. Don't doubt those before-and-after photos! It really does make that big a difference. I received this starter kit for Christmas and three days later, I was out at my local makeup retailer buying more Bare Escentuals products. I will never use products from the grocery store again. It's more than worth your money.

Excellent liquid foundation alternative!
|
I have been wanting this makeup for the past two years and finally broke down and bought it. I have no regrets!I am 36, mild acne, with some scarring from past acne. This covered everything! No red spots at all! And I didn't have to 'pack' it on till it felt heavy. Using the concealer brush you just pat it on over the spots and they disappear.My skin is still oily, so this makeup is a little shinier than what I would like, but the coverage and the feel made the difference for me. Where I normally would have 'dry' patches around recent break outs, this makeup did not show them as much as anything else I have used.Cons: If you like the 'matte' look, this might not be for you.If you have doubts, check around, you can get sample sizes on ebay to try it before you shell out the money for it. But, I think you will be surprised!

It had such potential
|
This movie should have been a breeze for even the worst of Film Directors. Stephen Patrick Walker was both Director and assistant in screenwriting. He needs to consider a career in gardening instead of directing. Naomi is too "sweetsie" throughout the movie, never demonstrating the true biblical character who struggled with bitterness to the point of renaming herself "Mara," which means bitter.Carman typically is a fair to good actor, but the screenplay falls short of the dynamic true character of the real Boaz from the Bible, who was both noble and wise. One scene depicts Boaz and a friend drunk, discussing a potential woman for his buddy to "hit on." It's more like a sleezy scene in a bar rathe than a man delightfully attracted to a woman. Pathetically written, directed and produced. No chemistry between actors. Shame; it could have been wonderful.

Ruth is such a beautiful story and could be such a great movie, such as One Night with the King about Esther. This was poorly done. I am sorry I spent the money on it. I was so looking forward to it.

Low Quality Film
|
This film followed the Biblical story well but the acting and production quality were very low. I almost couldn't watch the whole thing. I don't want to be critical of a Christian film but I highly recommend renting this before you buy it.

This movie is probably more Biblically based than the older Hollywood version but feels rather trite and even somewhat tired in places. I received more inspiration from the older Hollywood version even though it was not exactly as the Bible describes it. also i am not really sure Carman should be doing acting, he tends to overplay some areas and be rather wooden at other times. Maybe he should stick to his wonderful singing and songwriting.

Biblically Accurate, but a bit boring
|
It's important to me that movies based on the Bible be biblically accurate, or else there's no point to them. In that area, this movie succeeds. What it adds for drama doesn't contradict what's written in the Bible. I also like they they're speaking modern English. One reviewer said they should use 'thee' and 'thou,' but that's stupid. If they were trying to use the correct language, it would be Hebrew or Aramaic, not an earlier version of English.The only problem I have with it is a problem I have with most movies based off the Bible - it's a bit boring or slow-moving.That said, I'm still glad I purchased it.I'm very pleased that some people are making Christian movies, and wish to encourage it!

Yuck

Don't waste your money. This particular book of the Bible has room for a lot of insight and relevance. You won't find it here.

Good movie
|
I liked this movie for my family. It was not your average Bible movie - all brown and boring. Sure, it seemed kind-of Hollywoodish, but it kept my children's attention. I was not put off by the makeup. I'm sure they used things to enhance their looks back then just like we do today. Maybe their stuff didn't come from factories like ours, but I'm sure they used plant dyes to shade their lips and such. Who is to say Ruth didn't?

Worst bible film ever!
|
I can't believe I actually watched this whole thing...From the very start, this film was the worst I have ever seen. Horrifying acting. And I mean it. There were a few historical blunders as well, like having a temple built for Israel. The first temple was built by Solomon generations AFTER this time period.Read the book of Ruth in your bible and save 91 minutes of your life.

I was hoping to share this video with a group of gals who had just finished an 8 weeks study on the book of Ruth. There is much more depth to the story of Ruth then this video portrays. I found the make up and french manicured nails on Ruth and Naomi to be a total distraction. I would've much preferred a look truer to the times.There were two scenes that did a great job of bringing the story alive but too many others that fall into the creative license category. Again, I prefer a video that follows the Biblical text and does not create back stories and assumptions.

Let down
|
What a travesty ! The book of Ruth is a beautiful story. The movie is a poor attempt from a low budget Christian studio... Come on, what kind of message are we sending ? That new Biblically based movies are a joke ? Only two of the actors could act at all, the wind was louder then the dialog in parts, and music came blasting over the top of everything. God have mercy.

This is a very good show that will help you see and/or hear many things that can educate you about Ruth's life.

Some great lines, and a little kosher sex, but somewhat slow-moving.
|
As far as mysteries go, it's not heart-stopping, but Krich is a very sensitive writer who often gets to the heart of the soul. Jews will kvell over the often hilarious lines from Molly and other Jewish denizens of LA. My favorite: Molly, undressed, gets a knock on the door from the young Rabbi Zack...he asks "can I come in?" Molly: "I'm in my underwear". Zack: "I guess that's a no."I'd like to see more of Zack, Molly, and Bubbie G than court ramblings and descriptions of everyone's facial feature...unless, Molly's, of course :)

Love the command strips.

We use the small hooks every year for Christmas decorations. It is nice to know you don't have worry about a bunch of wholes in the walls after the season is over.

Charming craftsmanship from yesteryear
|
The greatest things about marionettes is that they were born in the age of hand craftsmanship...what other option was there? Having Helen's publication means having a throwback in hand and seeing marionettes through the lens of another time. Very resourceful and Very useful how to for beginner's and beyond.

English translation of German Euler biography
|
The translators for this biography of Leonhard Euler (originally published in German) are clearly not 100% fluent in English - but that did not stop me from learning a great deal more about Euler's life than I had known previously. This book includes numerous illustrations of Euler book covers, diagrams from his works, portraits of important persons who lived during Euler's lifetime, etc. There is very little actual math in this book, if that's what you're looking for. However, it does give a good account of all of Euler's major mathematical and scientific contributions. This biography was a very enjoyable and quick read.

Waste of Money
|
The product only picks up certain screen images which may just be an ad on a site so it really does not help you know the actual sites someone actually visits. More importantly, the product is worthless in 30 days. You can not register it online or through phone support. The phone support is still on an answering machine message from July 2000 and nobody returns your call. The email address when it asks you to register does not work. They can be reached and they do reply but it must be a hired service that was paid for in advance. I have a product that does not work since it can't be registered. It is a total waste of money

The cardboard box survillence system
|
This is a program which, when you install it on you computer, records every site you have gone to and saves a pic of it. this is basically your computers "history" file with a password. if you want to control what your children, employees, spouse, etc. watches a far better option would be to download "Net Nanny" or some other program and also password lock your history file (Preferences menu for Internet explorer).in fact, this programs main purpose is to scare others into not gonig to sites like that whithout permission. a good alternative: a cardboard box with wires running to the computer.it is much cheaper!!!! as you can probably already tell when i bought this from the store, i returned it within 2 days. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS PRODUCTHappy searching

Great Idea, but doesn't swing.
|
We bought this swing thinking how cool that it swings but detaches as a bouncer. A great plus in being able to move it around the house. It looks great and has good music/sounds but no matter what speed we put it on, it barely swings. The 6th speed setting is as slow as the 1 speed. We contacted amazon and they are sending a replacement. Hopefully it's just this particular swing and the next one will work great. Will update this review based off the next swing. Very disappointing, especially being a Graco product. We are looking at a Fisher Price model that got great reviews if this turns out to be a bust.

Wouldn't Buy This Again
|
The swing itself is very nice looking, but that's about it. The speeds on ours for some reason don't work...it continues to stay in the lowest speed even when we repeatedly press the button for a higher speed. Because of this, we haven't used it much, and I'm pretty sure we'll be buying a different one for our next baby.

Not acceptable
|
I bought this swing for my daughter's new baby boy because it had several features that were neat such as the music along with the vibrating swing. Also the swing seat could detach and you could bring it anywhere. Unfortuately the swing itself won't stay swinging and that is quite a disappointment since I paid so much for this swing to do just that. I can't seem to get a hold of Amazon so that I can tell them that this swing is defective and am trying to get ahold of the vendor themselves. I am becoming pretty disgruntled because now several items I have bought from Amazon have been defective and they are not user friendly to contact.

Does not swing!
|
For this swing being expensive, and Graco I thought it would be great, but boy was I wrong!! The bouncr is nice and the vibrating part works, but the swing does not. You press the setting and give it a push to start and the motor sounds like it is working, but the swing is not moving. I put it on a hard surface like it suggests and it still wont work. The nature sounds are also creepy. It sounds like airplanes over head or Godzilla pounding down the street. I am very disapoiinted! Do not buy this swing!

swing and bounce is a good buy
|
The Graco Swing 'N' Bounce is a pretty good buy. The price is nice because you get a swing and a bouncy seat. I have only used it for a week so this review may not be true in another month. The bouncy seat is great, he content with it. The swing is nice, but speed 1 doesn't work well. I'm not sure if it is because the baby doesn't weigh enough to keep it going but the rest of the speeds are fine. Also the legs have to be completely pulled as far as you can get them apart or the swing catches on the speaker and brings it to a stop. The music is nice, but the nature sounds are kind of annoying. It is like a static with some birds or water in the background. Taking the bouncy seat from the swing is very simple, not hectic at all. Putting the swing together is not that difficult, I would say it takes approx. 30 minutes. Overall I am satisfied with the swing and the bouncy seat so far.

works good but not as good as others
|
We got this swing before our boy was born. It went together somewhat easily, a little confusing if you don't use the instructions. now 2 months old...Our son does not like this swing. He does not mind being in the bouncy seat part of it, but not for more than 10-15mins.The BADS: The pullover tray is very hard to close and keep closed (possible safety hazard). The vibrator on the seat is extremely loud. The plastic on the legs break after awhile. The seat is not perfectly lined up when on the swing. It swings crooked. The animals on top are too high for the baby to really see.The price is TOO high for what you get.We ended up listing ours on craigslist and cant get any takers.We bought the other kind of swing that allows the baby to swing sideways or forwards and is adjustable. Works much better.

Baby says BOOORING!
|
I got this as a baby shower gift, I had asked for it because I had gotten the rest of the broadstreet collection. I thought it was great being a 2 in one. Once the little one came home she hates it. Still to this day I try to convince here to sit in it, I can't keep her in it for more than 2 minutes. The toys are boring and the music is not upbeat enough. She goes to grandma's house and LOVES that swing! It has swinging birds.Note to those new parents looking for a swing= Find something with upbeat music, some sort of toys that does something, and something colorful! I picked mine based on looks didn't think about what the baby would like best once it got here, big mistake!

LOVE IT! Frees my arms during nap time!!!
|
We love this swing/bouncer, our son takes all his naps in it, we don't even have to rock him to sleep before putting him in it, just put it on high, turn on the music and vibrations and he's out in minutes, and naps hours at a time in it. He's 3 months now, and I'm dreading the day he is too big for it. Just wish I owned stock in batteries, LOL. But just a warning, our son is used to this swing which because it's also a bouncer, it sits them more upright, so he hates all other swings, lol.

Rancho Deluxe

This is a great story about two buds who just want their share or the modern west without working for it so they rustle cattle. It's a great film with wonderful actors, Jeff Bridges, Harry Dean Stanton, Slim Pickens, Elizabeth Ashley and wonderful music by Jimmy Buffett. However, at 93 minutes, a number of things have been cut out and the film suffers for it. I can't justify the thought of anyone making cuts to the movie unless it makes it better. For instance, Star Trek the Motion Picture would benefit if 20 minutes of camera pans were cut out of it. Here the cuts have been made to make the film safe for television, which means, someone else chose what is "safe" for you to watch. I'm sorry, but nobody needs to do that for me, but me. Buy at your own risk.
