not so much.
I found this film to be derivative in every possible way. It's not a terrible film, but it is not impressive, either.

Sad, sad, sad
I was so excited to get this book and then realized it was really advertising for the book clients are to use. If you flip through this book you will see on each page the authors site their book SO MANY TIMES.... we are educated people and they can't stop citing the book we are reading. Not very helpful sadly.

These run very small!
I bought these for my husband and although they looked nice and cozy they run very very small. I ordered him an 11, which he usually wears in a slipper, to allow room for heavy socks for winter, and they were so tight across the instep that he couldn't stand to have them on. I sent them back. These are too expensive to not fit right.

Love it
I saw this on TV and bought it for my class. It's a great example of experiemental archaeology brought to the public. I actually bought this to show my class, as I thought it would be a great way to get young adults interested in how archaeology can be used outside of academia. It's also a very fun show as well as having interesing information.

Just horrible
Harry Dresden is back again as self-righteous, irritating, and thoroughly unlikable as ever.The plot of this book is interesting, but can't overcome shallow, insipid characters and dialog so bad that you'll find yourself thinking that whoever wrote 'The Hardy Boys' series should be put up for a Nobel prize.Play it safe and avoid this book and all "Dresden Files" books.

Great for Heels
I bought two of these and stacked them on top of each other. They were super easy to assemble and I love that the length is adjustable. I am using them for heels, so they work great. As other reviewers have mentioned, these racks are for heeled shoes. I read another review that said she just turned hers so it faces the other direction for un-heeled shoes and the shoes butt up against the wall. Makes sense to me! As I was aware that they were for heeled shoes and that's what I wanted, I would definitely recommend this purchase.

Really bad, and I bought this album
Almost six years ago I decided to buy this album for a friend but when I got this album she had gone on vacation and due to some events I ended up moving taking this album and losing the receipt. So I decided to listen to it and at first I thought it was allright but then it grew on my nerves, laughable growls that made you think that she just tries and fails to sound tough.Long story short, bad sound bad singing and songwriting and just a waste of time and money. Get otep or arch enemy for better female fronted metal bands.

to you from a PS3
I am writing from my Versapoint keyboard on my PS3. The keyboard was design for the living room or classroom. The keyboard is compact and sturdy. It is strong enough to sit on your lap or grip with two hands to the side. What I like is the very responsive keypad. The mouse in mouse pad is convenient but slow and lagging. There are trigger buttons in the front.If I waited a little then I would have gotten the Bluetooth rechargeable from Logitech. The RF range on this pad is good with no interference at all. The BTC 9019urf Wireless Multimedia USB Keyboard is half the price and has a bettter mousetick, but it works with the PC and has some issue with the PS3.

This is really different!
This is for me the first book on chess I have encountered that really puts first things first and explains a systematic method for thinking about any chess position. Even though the author makes very interesting remarks about strategical points he never forgets to remind you about the tactical problems on the board and a systematic way of taking care of these. For me definetely the most helpful book on chess that I ever read.

Worth The Price Of Admission
The only other Barry Manilow item I owned before this is 1974's Barry Manilow II LP. I had the luxury of seeing him in concert last summer at NY's Jones Beach Theater Summer Series Concerts at a cost of** for a pair of tickets. Until that time I really had no idea just how many of his songs I was actually familiar with, and what a consummate musician/singer/songwriter and even dancer he is. This 4 CD set is a bargain at its price. The liner notes are thorough and enlightening and help to demystify the man. The video is just the icing on the cake.

what is wrong with C.B.S.?
first of all C.S.I. is a great show and this season's offering is just as wonderful as any thing on tv now or ever, this is why i gave it 5 stars.However i had to take one away from it because for some strange reason C.B.S. has decided to ignore a large portion of it's audience. there is no captions on this set none my wife is slightly hearing impaired and the captions help keep the volume level at listenable level for me while she watches. how can any studio put out a DVD or movie in any format without captions? how, in this day and age can this happen? how can we let this happen?so if you are hearing impaired or know someone who is, don't buy this set or anything else from C.B.S. till they fix this horrible problem.

Horrible Audio, No Teaching
These other reviewers are kidding you.There are significant problems with this dvd.1. The audio on this dvd is horrible. It sounds like they are talking and singing through a tube. I could have done better in my garage.2. The tracks are: all the singing and stories in english, or the same program in Mandarin. There is no teaching whatsoever.I realize there are not many dvd's for teaching children Mandarin, however there are a few better than this.

This is a truly helpful, up-to-date guide. The question and answer form helped find out answers to questions I didn't even know that I had. Miss Manners is also hilarious, (I found myself laughing outloud to some of her answers) and her insight is ingenuous. Well done!

No Moore, please... thanks.
I quite often found the book loosing ground at times with a creative story line pulled together with odd characters. It has silly humor no doubt but, at times seemed like the author was stealing from Theo's little garden. Definitely light reading for those who need a giggle or two.

This book is a highly readable work of scholarship, showing us a huge slice of humanhistory that is often hidden and suppressed in our culture - that of the jockeying forpower at the juncture of several very archetypal and powerful issues in our culture-gender, health, and power. Anyone who wishes to truly understand the contemporary statusof natural healing and our current corrosive corporate politics should read this enjoyableand insightful book.

pedometer works well
seems to be hardy but only time will tell for sure. Accuracy is good --not too sensitive. Would give it a higher rating if I knew how well it will hold up but am happy with it so far. It has a cover that keeps bumps from resetting anything and the strap would be useful for running. It is easy to remove the strap if you don't need it. The reset button has a delay to be sure you really mean it --a very nice feature. THe unit opens conveniently to allow you to see the reading without taking off the unit.

Puts things in perspective
I would recommend this book for anyone who has a parent who, because of their age, has changed into someone you don't know anymore. I learned how to deal not only with my mother's state of mind but my own as well. Learning why my parent acts as she does allowed me to develop compassion for her circumstances instead of frustration with her for not acting rationally. This book helped me save my sanity.

I just didn't get it.....
I didn't like the character Grant, nor did I particularly feel captivated by his perception of events. I found him to be very troubled, abusive, especially towards his students, and apathetic towards the whole situation. I didn't like the book. It just seemed strange to me that an entire book could be written about a remark made in a courtroom. Pass the salt.

Easy to read approach to meditation
I am so happy I bought Rosenberg's "Breath by Breath"! Reading it has rekindled my determination to pursue this simple yet profound method of simply following the breath while sitting in meditation. But not only while sitting. "Breath by Breath" also talks about the value in walking meditation. Stuff we do all day long, like being aware of the breath, washing the dishes, or waiting for the red light to change --- can be turned into a meditative practice.

Big SDHC Card
I bought this card so I could take longer HD videos with my camera and replace the 1GB card I took from my mp3 player.I needed a Class VI speed SDHC memory card with a fair amount of space. This product has what I needed, and works great. The only thing I don't like about it now is (my fault) that I cannot format the card directly from my XP computer. I accidentally pulled it out, without safely ejecting it first, and now it can only be read by the camera. I can still use it (and still like it), I just wish I had 'ejected' it before removing it. (Originally, my computer read the SDHC card just fine).My advice, this is a good product, especially with the Frustration Free packaging from Amazon, it will work, as long as you always 'Eject' the card before removing it.Otherwise I have no complaints, it works fine for me.

Blah
I read this book a while back, in 6th grade. As the teacher passed the books out to us I thought it was just going to be another one of those boring books that we have to read for school. When I opened that book and started reading I couldn't put it down. It was just so facinating. My teacher said there was so many symbolic things in the book relating to the authors Chrisianity. For the people who don't know what I'm talking about. The Lion, Aslan, is represented as God.I thought this book was really good. Better than good. It was just like one of those books that you wished you were in. Like 'Eden' as they would say.

Solid Chair
This chair is built solid. It feels amazing and provides all the comfort I was looking for. I have tried out other less expensive zero-gravity chairs and can confidently say that this one outshines the competition in quality and its therapeutic elements. However, this picture is deceiving. The color is about 5 shades darker with a hint of olive, the handles are not stained (they look a bit colored in the pic to me), and the metal is thicker than it appears. Also, I think I have to sand down the handles a bit because they are rather rough in spots. None of these things really matter aside than for aesthetic reasons, however, my heart did sink a tad because my intent was to use this at home in my living room as a reading chair.

Genuine but keeps falling off
I checked and these appear to be the genuine Oral B. There may be some misleading information in the pictures. They show "Oral B" in Blue as the genuine ones, but mine that came with the brush have the gray "Oral B". These replacements also have the gray, but pass the genuine test.The problem is that this first of the 3-pack falls off the spindle during brushing. It doesn't fit tight enough. I inspected the original and this new one and they are alike, so there must be a product quality control problem, as the new one falls off quite easily. It doesn't click like the original one.

This is a mediocre machine that makes steamed milk and coffee. However, it is advertised as a latte maker. It does not make latte's. Personally, I think it is false advertising.A Traditional "Latte" requires a shot of espresso and unless you have an espresso machine you can not make Latte's with this product.

I see from some of the other reviews that I'm not the only one having problems with this adapter dropping the connection. Using it on a Dell laptop and started out ok. I tried updating the driver which turned out to be a big mistake. Hasn't worked correctly since then, even after uninstalling the "new" driver and re-installing the old. Now the connection drops if I leave it idle for more than a few minutes.The only caveat is that I am also having problems with the laptop, although I don't know if it is becasue of the Belkin software or some other cause.

What's missing?
I was disappointed when I had to buy this on the secondary market at a premium after speculators snapped up all the available copies. My copy arrived two weeks later, shipped in only a padded bag. Ordinarily, this would be fine, but these DVDs come in a tin container that's easily dented. After viewing the DVD, I am wondering whether I got a pirated copy or not?? Many of the features listed in the product description -- such as Donald in MathMagicLand-- are missing. I wrote to the vendor and never received a reply. Any thoughts???

Am I missing something?
I finally gave in and rented this movie since so many people rave about it? I DIDN'T find it revolutionary or darkly beautiful. I just think that maybe I "don't get it" as one reviewer suggested. I find Elizabeth Taylor vile and I find myself wanting to slap her hard throughout the film. I simply lost interest in their rantings and (gasp) turned it off. For the life of me, I cannot understand how someone could call this "the best film ever made". They must have seen very few and/or poor quality films to make such a grand statement.

Screaming and more screaming.
You can tell the singer has a good voice when he stops screaming long enough to make an attempt at singing. Since when does yelling loud enough to distort any trace of pitch or melody become "music"? There is one decent song on this album and if you're smart you'll just buy the single on-line somewhere.

disappointing :-(
I am a Donny Osmond fan (he was great in Joseph), so having to give his latest album this low of a rating is painful.Donny is a wonderful singer, but his voice cannot shine through when it is covered up by the dismal pop-music orchestration. All of the songs (Except the duet with Rosie) are classic showtunes, and deserved a larger (not necessarily full) band or orchestra to back them up--*not* the electronic mishmash that they actually received.Call this the album that could have been...And go listen to Harry Connick's newest album.

Nice design, but useless for playing CDs
I bought this unit to use at work, so the size and design are what actually sold it. Unfortunately, I cannot play CDs in it anymore because of the annoying clicking noise they make when playing. The radio reception isn't too great either (that may just be my office and not a reflection of the player), so it ends up just collecting dust on my desk. I won't buy another similar product from Sony.

didn't really live up to the hype
I just finished it today. It certainly read quickly and there were some parts that were very good and well written. It was "Yeah for Harry!" at some parts. It was difficult to put down once I started. However, not much 'action' happened until the end, and when it ended there was a feeling of unsatisfaction--almost like, that was it? It didn't seem as ohmigod! as the other novels, and didn't live up to the hype and the wait but overall it was pretty good. At least I didn't have to stand in line for it!!!

...ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
I usually only contribute a review when I have some thing positive to say, but not this time. Wow...where to begin?! With all of the talent associated with this movie (both behind and in front of the camera) I naturally expected a thoroughly enjoyable and watchable film. I wasn't looking for a masterpiece...just a solid entertaining couple of hours. But I guess even the best of Hollywood can produce a dud every once in a while and that, unfortunately, is definitely the case here. It sure starts out with an intriguing premise...cowboys and aliens, for crying out loud! I mean, how can you beat that...right? However, about the only thing I can say I remotely enjoyed was the musical score. I won't try to describe the plot...there are already many fine reviews that have done that. Just want to add my advice to the prospective viewer and DVD buyer...walk away from this turkey...VERY far away.

Picky and noisy
This drive would have been perfect if not for it being picky when it comes to media. When playing dvds, its so loud, it overpowers the noise in my cpu. Its distracting.The only good thing about this drive is that its cheap. But that is all you can get. Its a cheap writer which is cheaply constructed. I guess I got what I paid for. for others looking to buy this thing, spend just a little more on better known brands in dvd writers. Yes, Pioneer are famous but not when it comes to writers. There are others out there worth considering. But for the price no writer beats it except mayber for the "ultra-cheap all the way" NEC.Other writers worth mentioning are Plextor and TDK which are admittedly more expensive than the Pioneers.

This really is revolutionary!
The perfect title for the book -- because this is about a lifestyle change to improve health, energy and outlook, rather than just another lose-it-fast fad diet. The book is based on well-researched and presented information that addresses many of the modern ailments without the rush to medication.The approach DOES take some will-power, because it is very different from the way most of us have been eating for a very long time. But it is the sort of will-power needed to make an intelligent and sustained change in the most important thing that we do for our health--making food choices. If you stick with it, the pay-off comes quickly. You feel so good when you stop eating all the junk that you don't want to go back!

So REDUNDANT
I loved Steel's early works. I read them all and they were great but have stopped reading her because her books are repetitive now. I decided to try once again just to see and this book was maddening!! It was 178 pages long and could have been all been said in 100 pages. It was obvious that she was stretching it to make it a hardback "novel" length to sale. Skip it.

Getting your ham license
This book is designed so that anyone can achieve success. It has the sample questions, the answers, and also an explanation for the answer. It Provides you with little side comments that can be useful to the ham operator. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in getting their license.

A delightful romp through the mind of the insane...
As a student in criminal justice, this book is assigned in our profiling courses. As a result, we are forced to read it in order to obtain a good grade; however, "Red Dragon" is a book you'll WANT to finish...I couldn't put it down!One problemmatic feature in this book is its legalese -- it is deeply rooted in justice terminology which might hinder some novice readers looking for a light, quick read. Steer clear of this book if that is what you seek.However, if you are looking for a book that, although it is dated nearly two decades ago, still pertains to todays criminal justice system, do read it. Not only is it entertaining, it is also very informative. Nicely done, Mr. Harris.

Rushed thru it so I could start reading a GOOD book!
If I wanted to know about a life like Bone's, I could've watched COPS. The disfunction on every page was so predictable and classic white-trash.zzzz... It will, I'm sure, be on TV in no time -->something I would watch if nothing else was on. Don't waste your time and money!

King at his best. Compeling, gripping & leaves you gasping.
In his usual blend of crossing whens and wheres, King reenters the worlds of the Dark Tower and the lives of Roland and his ka-tet. After a satisfying resolution of the cliffhanger with Blaine the Mono, Roland et al resume their quest for the Dark Tower.Around a campfire, with a mysterious castle looming ahead, Roland spins a story of his first love and it is this tale which forms the lions share of the novel. With humor, his fine understanding of the pain of adolescence, and his incredible sense of story, King compells us to read on and uncover one layer of the complex persona which is Roland.This is a great read. You are left in the exact right place -- wanting more - eager for more - demanding more. Dear SK please hurry!

Laser Preference P 1 Plumb Plate
Well, I had to send it back within a couple of days(11-03-08). It wasn't what I needed. So I had to look elsewhere. And so far the company HAS NOT credited my credit card yet, today is 12-02-08. So, if you guys have any pull with the company I did business with I would be thankful if you would contact them about my refund. Thanks so much, Jim

Great product, hot, fast and good design
I just bought this hair dryer, I have used it twice and I am in love. I dread drying my hair because I have so much of it, and it is thick, real thick. This dryer cuts my dry time in half. So pleased. Thank you BaByliss!

poor quality/noisy obtrusive tower
Wish I read other reviews before I bought this product. First, it's much larger and obtrusive than expected. Quality looks cheap (though it attempts to look like the ionic breeze in style),and when you turn it on it's noisy - even on the low range. Put it on high and the noise level rises dramatically. Have noticed no real improvement in air quality. Stay away from this one.

Read for concept - not detail. Code examples are incorrect.
Suggest skipping this title. Many of the examples provided in the book are just plain out of date, using a version of WML that you won't find in any shipping phone. You might also waste time fiddling with the organization of the book.Suggest getting the docs that come with some of the FREE SDKs (e.g. Nokia, etc.), using the source code examples there.If you must read this, get it from the library.

Simply Awful
A subject as important as al-Qa'ida's war against the US and the West warrants the most serious, thought-provoking and insightful of studies--whether it is a frank discussion of what went wrong in our law enforcement and intelligence communities, or if the book looks at the designs and abilities of the terrorist undeground armies. This book displays neither insight, or a serious thought-provoking treatment of the subject. Instead, what we have here is tabloid-journalism at its worst, packaged into what amounts to a poorly written waste of time.

Abby.....BEWARE!!!!!
I bought this five years ago after searching for this for many years online. Cinefears "Collection Edition" is nothing more than a bootleg VHS to DVD burn. Horrible, horrible and even worse...its HORRIBLE!!!!! The movie skips, the sounds is fuzzy...all in all....I was dissapointed with my copy.

A Must for Any Al-coholic!
Ultimate is right!Not only does this DVD have every Weird Al video from"Eat It"to"The Saga Begins,"but it has Al's first network TV appearance in which he sang"Another One Rides the Bus"with help from John Schwartz!The coolest things to me are celebrities guest cameos in the videos-Greg Kihn,Art Fleming and Al's real parents are in "I Lost ON Jeopardy."Pat Boone and Ruth Buzzi can be seen in the "Gump" video.As if all that Weren't enough,you get a booklet that has factoids about each video!If you're a Weird Al fanyou absolutely MUST have this DVD!

Great book for Windows Config. Management Engineers
If you happen to be in the field of being responsible for automated code building (checkout, compile, verify, checkin) this book is a necessary addition to the toolchest. There are many wonderful things to discover about NT scripting that you never thought possible.I would also recommend the "Sed & Awk" reference from O'Reilly (of course, along with the actual programs) to further fill any gaps left by NT scripting; the two in tandom can get almost anything done.

Great game if you can get it to work
This is a really fun game but I just wanted to warn potential buyers that it will NOT work on newer Windows OS like XP and Vista. The game will install and you can start to play but the game will critically fail and crash. I did a lot of research online for solutions but the only way to get it to work properly is to play it on an older OS. Changing the compatibility mode will do nothing nor will any of the other claimed fixes.

Disappointing Diabolus
After a lengthy break from UNDISPUTED ATTITUDE, the kings of speed metal return with a lackluster album. After the first three tracks which range from mediocre to above average, the album goes downhill. No melodies or riffs stick to your skull like past records, and nothing exciting happens. You can give this repeated listens all you want, but this won't even come close to SEASONS, UNDISPUTED, or GOD HATES. A real shame.

Racheal Yamagata , Happenstance
Rachael's performance on this album is stunning! I would however love to hear more formation in her lyrics to be clearer sounding in the pronunciation of words as Rachael sings. Overall however, I find this to be a very tasty album indeed, which I've ended up very addicted to. Rachael's raspy flavorful sound comes through with eloquence loud and clear here. Especially loved - loving you in 1963..Hey, the year I was born.

NOT HD
This is a review of the disc, not the movie.I think we all know the story, Rio Bravo IS a GREAT movie, the re-mastering is AWFUL.There is nothing HD about this disc.It may have been re-mastered in 1080p, but it loks awful.I have seen this movie on Netflix thru my Roku & the dvd is no better.I have seen El Dorado on Dish (saved it on the DVR) & it looks OUTSTANDING.Really disappointed with this disc.Good thing it was only $10.49, I guess you get what you pay for.

I Believe You Have My Stapler....
Ok, a few years ago, I worked for a major HMO last year. I was also confined to a small gray cubicle for 8 hours a day. And after watching Office Space, I quit a month later. Coincidence? Maybe. But it was like watching my life unfold on screen! Like having 4 bosses "remind" you about a tiny mistake that doesn't really matter, the doggone fax machine that is your sworn enemy, and of course the office FREAK, who you know is gonna someday show up to the work place armed! This movie has it all, and it's hilarious! So, if you ever get a case of the "mondays", call in sick,blow off those dang TPS reports, and watch this movie!

I have, and dislike, this pan.
I have this pan. The plastic cups don't work. Either the bottom of the white is runny like a jellyfish or the yolk is cooked through. I have not noticed the plastic taste, though. Even with Pam or oil, the eggs tend to stick and they do not come clean in the dishwasher, you have to scrape it off with your fingernail. I do not like this pan.

A disappointing read
I have really enjoyed this series up till now but this one was a disappointment. I finished the book but it was a tough haul. The characters were not well developed and there was little fire between the main characters. I found the premise to be oddly presented and not plausible. I certainly hope she gets her edge back in the next one. If you feel like you need to read this because it's the next Laurens, I would recommend you go to the library or wait for the paperback of this one, don't waste your money on the hardcover.

Missing pieces and poor construction
Like other reviewers, I thought the only good thing was the speed control on the wheels. Unfortunately, my box was missing the screws to attach the large blue handle. The exposed sides were dangerous, and my daughter pulled the lids off then used the spaces as stairs to climb the toy. Of course it couldn't support her weight, so she fell over. I removed it quickly after that.

Too small for an SLR, and just too small
I returned this item because it was just not big enough for my SLR. I have two lenses, neither is huge. I tried to fit the camera with one lens on and another off, plus flash and a few other gizmos. Everything was too tight. There were several pockets inside the flap allegedly for accessories (they mentioned filters), but my filters, my notebook, my lens tissue -- none fit! They make some dubous claim about strapping on a tripod, but they don't mean a professional tripod, I guess.I'll try the larger model and see if things are better.

The book I only hate in goosebumps series
To people who don't like Goosebumps because its not scary. What do you expect? It's for 7 - 12 year old kids, meaning not very frightening but a mysterious ending. Goosebumps is a mystery book in a sort way, because every time you read goosebumps series, you wonder how the storyline is going to be connected to the ending. I started to read goosebumps at the age of 8, and never once did I thought goosebumps was scary. (I read almost every book of the Original Goosebumps Series). But I still love goosebumps, and R.L.Stine is the authour that made me wanting to be an authour. So the bottom line is, don't read goosebumps if you want chill on your back. If you want a chill, I'd say watch the movie "The Grudge". LOL!This book is the only book that I hate in the goosebumps series. It was oh-so boring I had to slap myself to keep me from sleeping. This piece was shocking to me as R.L.Stine is my all time fave authour.

Ultra heavy, screaming distortion
One thing's for sure, they definitely got the name right. Line 6 makes some cool products, so I bought this on a whim to try it out. It's a great pedal and if you're playing metal, you'll never need another distortion pedal. The built in noise gates are a really innovative and well-executed idea. I also like how you can switch between 3 different metal tones with the metal - pulverize - insane switch. The EQ's are great too, I love the scoop - you can really make this thing scream, or dial it back and get that thick chugging sound. It does exactly what it's supposed to do.
