0	GOOD IDEA, COULD BE BETTER	The format is very good for kids who thrive in two languages, as songs are played back to back in English and Spanish. I only have three pounds of beef with the product: First, singers' quality. The choir could hardly be more out of key. Another is that Spanish translations for typical English songs are terrible. They do not rhyme at all (see? rhyme = rima), and often a complete and often nonsensical sentence is hurriedly squeezed into a sigle song line. Lastly, the patronizing final line in the video (it is important that parents view this video with their children or sometihng to that effect) is read in Spanish only. Why is this? is there an assumption that Spanish speaking parents, not the English language-only ones plug their kids to the tube and go on with their merry lives? I don't see this kind of patronizing in English language videos, nor this line is read also in English too following it.	negative
0	Bad example for our girls	McKenna was a lying, back-talking, eye-rolling, spoiled girl wearing makeup. This movie was nothing like the other (awesome) AG movies. What a disappointment for my daughter and our family. American Girl should produce better quality movies. The girls like Caroline and Kit are much better role-models than this McKenna character. A waste of $3.99 HD rental fee.	negative
0	Received the Russian edition with English Subtitles	As per the subject, I was frustrated and annoyed to receive a russian language version of this DVD from Amazon!Admittedly, this is an exception to Amazon's usually high quality of service.	negative
0	Bug-Ware. Don't Buy It.	Automatic backups work great. System restore (to new drive) does not work at all. I have Win 2K Pro, SP2 installed on 10 GByte IDE Maxtor. Drive is almost full, due to many applications. Used Ghost 9.0 to create an image of the 10 GByte Maxtor (MAX). Been trying to restore to a new drive, a 30 GByte Western Digital (WDC). Have made more than 3 backup images. Have tried to retore images to the 30 GByte WDC 6-7 times. Used different settings and tweaks. It won't work. WDC drive always crashes. Windows blue screen of death. Most frequent error is "autocheck not found". Live-update (Symantec online app maintenance utility) is useless. Tech support does not exist...unless you pay by the minute. I would recommend using freeware or shareware before buying this product. If you disagree, feel free to spend 40-60 hours of your own time understanding the users manual (almost NO technical content.)	negative
0	Premium Priced JUNK	I did not purchase this faucet through Amazon, but I did have one installed in our mega kitchen remod nearly four years ago. This faucet for the premium is a piece of junk. First it started leaking around the push button for the spray adjustment within the first year. In the last year or so it has started to leak around the pivot connection on the faucet head.Finally I tried to fix it the other night. And bam I over tightened the faucet head and CRACK. The head of the faucet despite the nice Brushed Nickel finish is nothing but cheap-@ss plastic internally.Kohler is living off their name. JUNK!Kohler parts direct wants over $300 just for a replacement head. If thing had any real quality I might consider it, but for that price I think I am going to try a different faucet.	negative
0	Musical Tourism	As a long-time fan of Nusrat Fateh Ali Can and his collaborations with Jan Garbarek and Massive Attack I listened to this record with high expectations. However, I felt that Michael Brooks was not sensitive enough to the rhythmic subtleties of the source music and this record was marred for me by a predictable and pedestrian approach to the songs especially in the rhythm section.	negative
0	Wish there were more reviews before my purchase!!!	This is a terrible product! When I ordered there was only one good review and one bad. It is NOT as pictured and I am returning it. This is a pad that says bunco at the top. There are not lines to keep track of wins and losses and buncos.	negative
1	Fantastic Story!	I happened upon this book by researching something else, and I must say that I am very pleased with this amazing discovery. I enjoyed the rich, satisfying tale of an adventure to Mars. I highly recommend this book to anyone who needs to escape from Earth a bit and who needs to step outside of humanity to glimpse at how "others" may see us and our blue world.	positive
0	BORRRRRING!	I rented this movie thinking it couldn't be that bad since they usually don't carry low budget films here.... surprise! It was probably the worst movie I've seen....and surely the most frustrating to watch... really! The camera angles, unfocused shots, bad acting and the editing... wow! Don't buy it, don't rent it, forget you ever came across this film because it blows!	negative
1	Kids loved it!	Bought this during an Amazon sale on a whim to save for a future birthday party. Did not expect it to be so nice! Comes with a DVD and lights up and makes sound. Was the hit of the party when the 5 year old boy opened up his gifts. Other kids kept trying it out and wanting to play with it. Wish I had bought another!	positive
0	wasted technology	First, the video was recorded on standard video cameras, so you'll notice pixels and some grain during all the show. Plus 4:3 format ?? WTF.I think is time for new material on 16x9 and use HD cameras.	negative
1	the story is a bit thin but some scenes are simply powerful	It was not as great a story or character development as I could have hoped for, but overall I was not dissapointed. The scenery was beautiful, the 2 main characters also were beautiful and they had some powerful scenes between them.The scene of him helping her in the water because she cannot swim is one of the most romantic and touching few minutes of film I have ever seen.	positive
0	I can't believe this is consider top 5 most popular	this is possibly the worst and dumbest movie i've ever seen.the story doesn't make sense, very flawed, the girls are ugly after being turn into zombies, plus it is nothing close to a zombie movie.if your bore and you want to watch soft porn, skip past the first 10 minutes and watch some porn n shut it down. because it does not get any better.i am very disappointed at amazons movie selections.	negative
1	Super Mario Sunshine: He's still super!	This has got to be the best Mario game I ever played besides Super Mario Bros 3. The controls can be frustrating but overall it's a great game. Its a great for all ages. The best part are the 3-D versions of the classic NES and SNES marios. Although this can also be the worst part as sometimes to get to them you must go though a lot of running and spraying and when you lose all your lives and the NES level part you have to start at the begining of the world. So overall,Graphics 5 out of 5Gameplay 4 out of 5Controls 3 out of 5Camera 4 out of 5So overall its a great game with a few bad levels. A must have for mario fans!	positive
0	Not effective	Used for almost a month, and didn't do anything. Finally bought some Raid spray, and that killed them in 5 minutes.	negative
0	Typeface is way too small.	I read the reviews that warned about it but disregarded them and now I find myself wondering why, with such a small typeface, is it still so thick?	negative
1	It could have been better	"Help!", "I Need You", "Another Girl", "You're Going To Lose That Girl", "Ticket To Ride", "It's Only Love" and "I've Just Seen a Face" are some of the best Beatles songs on any album. I've always hated "Yesterday" and can not listen to it. The other tracks are so-so but detract from the tone and feel of the "Help!"-based songs.This is one of my favorite Beatles albums. I should have gotten the version with the instrumental soundtrack portion from the movie, though.Where's the movie DVD? Please "Help!" (It recently was released and I have it :-)	positive
1	Great to pass the time	This was a project I finished within two weeks and I loved it. It also arrived before the scheduled due date.	positive
1	surprise	I am not a fan of horror movies. Perhaps it is generational. But I watched ALL DARK PLACES in its entirety and found it dealing with problems of love, dedication, demons and addiction in a serious and successful manner.The acting was fine, as were the photography and dialogue.Surprise, surprise, horror film or not, I enjoyed and admired it.	positive
0	extremely disappointing....	I first heard about this flick a couple of years ago, and was waiting for it to hit theatres. I almost forgot about it, then was surprised to find it on the Blockbuster shelves a few weeks back....I should have forgotten about this movie!You know there's problems when even the Writers/Stars of the film are telling fans to stay away from this.	negative
0	One Turd Of A Movie	I could not believe how ludicrous Catwoman's suit was--a leather bra and pants?! What were they thinking? The costume is the least of the problems with this stinker, rated alongside "Batman & Robin" and "Superman 4" as the worst all-time superhero movies. The script was utterly atrocious; the acting, quite wooden; and even the special effects fall flat. Alex Borstein (who is Lois Griffin from "Family Guy") is the movie's only saving grace--she should have been picked to play the role of Catwoman in a more alluring leotard/tights getup. Instead, she gets a "b" role and is wasted. What's even more shocking is that Warner Brothers spent $145 million to make this turkey. It should have been better left unmade.	negative
1	Pale Rider	Although Pale Rider is one of my favourite Clint Eastwood movies, I have to admit that it could have been much better. As in The Outlaw Josey Wales and High Plains Drifter, for example, we have a protagonist who is haunted by a past injustice, an injustice which he strives to rectify through the barrell of a gun. Unfortunately, in Pale Rider, the score between Stockburn and Preacher is much too vague, and so instead of adding to mystery, the viewer is left somewhat baffled. Over all, though, the movie is still very good, and definitely entertaining.	positive
1	The Key	Lynsay Sands is one my favorite authors, but I have usually read her vampire books. The Key is probably the only historical novel that I have read in a few years. I thoroughly enjoyed it, even though the language was a little bit of a challenge. Great story!	positive
1	Lots of Fun for the whole Family	Whether you are playing this game or watching it being played, you are going to have fun. From my 3 yr old granddaughter to my 35 yr old son, everyone had a great time singing and dancing along.	positive
1	great product	This product is great! I'm a beginner at calligraphy and this looked like a good set to start with. Nibs are great and ink comes out nice and smooth. May leak on the back of the nib a little and bleed through the paper but not much. The practice paper is awesome and the instruction booklet is nice. Great product!!! :)	positive
1	Does the trick...	I like this product... we got it for my 16 month old at Christmas so he can get used to seeing the potty and sitting on it, even though we're not potty training yet. My only complaint is that I wish the pieces would clip in place so they weren't so easy to remove. My son has taken this whole "getting used to the potty" thing to heart and likes to take the potty apart. Not an issue now, but I'm sure it will be once he starts using it!I also like that it LOOKS enough like a toilet that he tries to "rinse" his cloth diapers in it... (like I said, he's a fan)	positive
0	Inaccurate	I reviewed material relating to the Swartwout-Hoyt scandal and found it full of errors. The book says Swartwout stole $2.25 million, but the audit showed $1.25 million, and later studies have shown that it was less than $400,000. The defalcation surfaced in 1838, not 1841. The bibliography proves the 1841 error citing an 1839 Congressional study. Many other errors and omissions for the Swartwout-Hoyt entry. Such an expensive book owes it to readers to be accurate.	negative
1	Coincidence?	My daughter is 2 years old and had a problem with biting other children while at daycare. We tried "reasoning" with her - but it didn't seem to help. So, we decided to try buying a book hoping that perhaps it might help the situation. She loves this book. Surprisingly, after reading the book to her, she has not had any reported problems of biting anymore. Coincidence? Perhaps. Perhaps not. This book sure is worth trying it for yourself.	positive
1	Research can be fun	Why is showing the truth so funny? Franken does it here by showing the bunch of lies that the rightwing media serves is often badly researched or often plain false. This book might be a few years old now, unfortunately it still holds true...	positive
1	Good and cheap ,too	Easy to hook up. Great picture on my flat screen (not HD). Has played, so far, all music and video I have burned to disc with my PC. Great, economical price also.	positive
0	thin Latex	The product is very thin latex.. so water gets in.. There are many other latex bathing caps that are stronger thinker Latex and prevents less water to get in the cap.	negative
0	Not impressed	I have a Hoover full size vacuum so thought i would try the hand held vac. I am not impressed at all. The battery is practically dead after using for just a few minutes. The fan blows the light items(hair) around while trying to vacuum up which is annoying. Also Very loud. Suction is OK, nothing great. Probably much better options out there at the same price.	negative
0	rug	the rug is very big but its not very thick its very thin so it does not stay on the floor very well it slides every were	negative
1	I love the song it is really smooth easy going!	This soundtrack kick buttie. I couldnt live without it. This song is smooth and easy to listen to.I think everyone should get a copy of this. I sure will!!!!!!! :)	positive
1	irreplaceable avant-garde modern poet	Michael Palmer's poetry is so unique, & always unsparingly brilliant. This might be the most important book of his career, since it collects so much essential poetry he wrote over such a long period of time, such a major proportion of his life. He's done a lot more different things in his poetry since this book, & in the time span this selection covers. But this book is so important to get to know Michael Palmer, & what he's done to 20th & 21st century poetry.	positive
0	Blatant plea for attention -- no real facts	This book is similar to those "When Animals Attack, Part 2" shows on the Fox network -- and just as thoughtfully written. It's here to sell copies and get the author on the talk show circuit. You'll see him on "Inside Edition", "Hard Copy", and Ollie North's radio program.He cites "studies" but doesn't provide any details on those studies.He lumps the entire "hacker" world into one category.His psychological profiles would make an undergrad professor ill.Heck, this book doesn't deserve any more of my time for a review. If you must read it, read it as you would a bad spy novel, but don't tie it to the real world.	negative
0	If it worked as good as it looks.	The short story is that my first purchase of this drill was that the hammer function failed after 20 or so holes. Thinking it a fluke, I accepted a replacement. However, I would trade the speed (used for smaller drill bits) for torque. 7/8 auger drill 2/3 into a 4x6 jammed.	negative
1	great product	My husband and I love this product. It was very easy to install and the convenience of having it in the shower is super. Because it is so convenient you use it more often so I am sure the dentist will notice the difference in our teeth! The pressure is sufficient to do the job. Our only complaint would be that we wish the hose was a little more flexible as it is a little awkward to sometimes turn it in your mouth! Perhaps we should have ordered the longer one? Otherwise,what a great invention and idea! And so close to our hometown.	positive
0	Not PG anymore since they put all the profanity back in	The Netflix "Romancing the Stone" had 10+ G*damms in the first 50 minutes before we gave up. Why is this DVD rated PG when they put back all the profanity they took out to get a PG rating for the movie theaters? There is no warning in the product description that it is no longer PG.	negative
1	Loads "real life" examples of teens with ADHD, great resource	As a parent with 3 of 5 children who have ADD or ADHD this book has been very helpful in understanding the ADHD and teenagers. It does not push a specific agenda, rather the book gives many examples of ADD and ADHD behaviors typical in teens and possible solutions to deal with the associated behavior. The social implications of ADHD are enormous for teens and sometimes I see my children in the examples provided in this book.	positive
0	Poor Examples	I too decided to read the book due to hype and enjoyed the beginning of the book. I soon found myself skimming forward due to the meaningless examples, military, doctors, etc. Please, we all know that data can be 'sliced' and manipulated to prove anything, even opposing viewpoints so why the long self-serving studies. I don't disagree that certain subconscience responses can guide our actions and views, tell me how to tap into that. Tell me more practical applications and everyday life situations. I found the book to be 25% value and 75% filler.	negative
1	Upbeat music, thoughtful lyrics	The lyrics might say one thing but the tunes convey something completely different. Thoughtful and calm with catchy tunes, this is great music for Sunday afternoons or having company over.Would recommend it for anyone who enjoys guitar music.	positive
0	Poor Quality/Not Worth the Price	Yikes, this is a poor quality item. Penguin should be ashamed to have this item represent the Grosset & Dunlap brand in the marketplace.The stickers are backed with such poor quality low-tack adhesive that they curl up and are useless as soon as you remove them from the die-cut.In fact, I'd say this product is designed only to separate Granparents and parents from their money. Obviously, this item was never intended for actual use.	negative
1	Great Album!	I was quite suprised at the sound of the new Distillers album. It sounds nothing like their previous work, but is great non-the-less. I think anyone who likes a good raspy voice and a moderate pace will like this Album.. so check it out!	positive
1	All creatures big and small	The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is the story of four children that stumble into a wardrobe... the magical door to another world. They learn many things while they travel to see Aslam, the great Lion. One of them is how they were expected, for that is what the prophesy said. After good conquers evil they grow up there and become kings and queens of the land until one day they stumble back into the magic wardrobe to find themselves back on the same day they left many years before. An excellent book for all.Anna del C.Author of "The Elf and the Princess"The Elf and The Princess: The Silent Warrior Trilogy - Book One (The Silent Warrior Trilogy)	positive
1	great lil printer, BUT	I bought this to replace my original HP 4L Laser jet after 15 years. This seems to do a great job so far, much faster downloads and clean print,BUT BEWARE.... IT DOES NOT COME WITH A USB CORD TO CONNECT, so if the printer your replacing has the old stle connecter (as mine did) be ready to spend another $35.00 for a usb cord. That is why I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars.	positive
0	Does not stick at all	Does not stick at all, back seems very old and only slightly tacky, nowhere near enough to stick.Cannot use, returning it.	negative
1	Wow!	Harry Potter is the best book in the world. Once you start, you can NEVER put it down! You have GOT to read it. It is my favorite book ever. Words cn't describe it. What an AWESOME, WONDERFUL, COOL, DETAILED, INTERESTING, FUN, MAGNIFICENT book. I only have one word to say: WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! J. K. Rowling, if you are reading this, YOU RULE! You are the best author in the history of books!-Samantha	positive
1	An invaluable guide for the budget traveller in the USA	Whilst up-to-date and informative for the most part, Rough Guide USA fails to include some of the newer hostels springing up around the country. For example, on a recent visit to Tucson, I was lucky enough to stay at the Roadrunner Hostel. This new hostel is to be found just 3 minutes walk away from Greyhound and Amtrak. Rates are only $13 per night, or $70 per week, well worth a visit.I understand how difficult it must be to keep these travel guides up-to-date, so I hope that the experiences of travellers like myself can be of some help.Keep up the good work!!Happy travelling.	positive
1	20 good songs	Some good songs some have not heard for years & some forgot about hearing years ago.It was great to hear that voice & some songs that I had forgotten about like "Anticipation" & "Jesse" .Thankx Carly for helping us ALL recall the days of yesteryear.	positive
1	The one that Works	I purchased this product last Fall on a close out sale at a huge national retailer. It worked perfectly. This year I returned to the same retailer in July and they had sold out of the Rescue Brand Fly Traps and didn't plan on restocking until next year. They talked me into purchasing another brand. Needless to say the other brand didn't work. We live next to a cattle pasture and the flies are outrageous near our home. I hung the "other" brand fly trap on the fence between the pasture and my driveway and a week later there were a few flies in the trap. I ordered the Rescue Brand Fly Trap from Amazon and hung 3 of them on the same fence. 3 days later I had to replace the Rescue Brand TrapsRESCUE! FTD-DT12 Disposable Fly Trapbecause they were FULL OF FLIES. I will not use another brand trap because I am not a wealthy person and cannot waste money. The Rescue brand Fly is the one that works. Don't waste your time or money with any other brand.	positive
1	Perfect!	Love this product - It holds the EZ pass and I don't have to worry about peeling stickers off the windshield down the line! Thank you!	positive
1	A Great CD.	I've long admired Split Enz/Crowded House/Neil + Tim Finn, and it's hard to pick one cd to review without reviewing them all. Temple of Low Men is a classic. Of the four Crowded House cds this one has 10 solid tracks with no filler and no excess. Their debut is great, but I think Temple of Low Men moved Crowded House out of the pop spotlight and into a more mature band. The debut is a rougher, less honed effort than Temple is. Temple is also better than Woodface in that it's shorter and more consistent. It's also better than Together Alone for the same reasons--shorter, more consistent songcraft. All of Crowded Houses cds are great, but Temple of Low Men with songs like "Into Temptation", "I Feel Possessed", "When You Come", "Kill Eye", "Better Be Home Soon", "Love This Life", "Mansion in the Slums", "Never Be the Same" and "Sister Madly" show that they can make a classic cd. This is a must have for any rock collector.	positive
0	Mediocre recipes with dangerous ingredients for pregnant women	I found the recipes to be really average and uninspiring. The nutrition chap was ok but info you can find almost anywhere. What shocked me was the use of ingredients unadvisable for pregnant women. Pineapple, papaya and mango are no no in early pregnancy and this book recommends them. All 3 increase heat in the body and may cause miscarriage. Also sesame oil was given to women to abort unwanted pregnancies in Asian cultures so it's really strange that was included too. I felt I couldn't trust the info in this book so I returned it. I bought the kindle edition which was really terribly organized ... Don't know about the paperbacks.The vegetarian section used way too much tofu so if you have a problem with soy you might not want this book.	negative
0	Do Not Buy - This is a waste of money	I would rather leave my floor dirty than push all the dirt to one location and watch it pile up. Do not buy this product. I got on my hands and knees when I was done to clean properly. No floor cleaner I have tried is of any value. Retailers that carry this product do not care about selling quality product.	negative
0	Marlene and too much Max	Maximillian Schell likes to put himself at the center of his supposed biographies of others -- the recent one on his sister/actress Maria Schell (MY SISTER MARIA) and this earlier one on Marlene Dietrich.This one dwells and dwells on his trials with the willful, aging icon during this film's making. It's probably the foregrounding of those behind-the-scenes irrelevancies that the critics admired about this film. There isn't much room, however, for detail, so it winds up a pretty flimsy biography.Max should have followed Marlene's simple formula for a biography. She tells him right there in the interview. But he may not have been paying attention.	negative
1	Police for the club kids	A clever remix of one of the longest song names in rock: The Police's "When The World Is Running Down You Make The Best Of What's Still Around". Sure to get all ravers and Police fans dancing. A surefire hit.	positive
1	Neil Young, Heart of Gold	My husband saw this from a rental and liked it so well he purchased it. I watched it and liked it enough to purchase it for my daughter for a Christmas gift. She was happy to receive it as she had seen parts of it and said she had wished she owned it. The music is great and lots of other interesting scenes	positive
1	An angel	Miss Vanessa Marie is one of the most beautiful soul this world would ever come across. I must say her voice is heavenly and her music is fun and moving. I am still waiting in anticipation for Nessa to pick up that mic, and get back in teh studio. I never got ot see her perform live but the videos show a great Vibe at her performances. I totally recomend this CD. :)	positive
1	More, Please!	My only complaint about this novel is that there isn't a follow up. I couldn't put it down and was sorry when I finished it. Best book I've read all year, and that includes 'Empire Falls'. The characters come alive and are believable - although some of the action is a bit overblown and hard to swallow. But hey, it's fiction. I've known people like this, and I'm just glad that I don't know any like Merle or the sheriff at this moment. It's a bit like 'Smokey and the Bandit' but more fun.	positive
0	blue petal mist mister	product was okay, easily knocked over, this product has past it's time. Other items have taken it's place now. Truly, the first time my dog ran past it caplouey! on the floor it went pretty, but not practical	negative
1	Best drying rack ever!!	We bought this a year and a half ago, and LOVE it!! We call it the sun-chaser, because you can move it with the sun. The best part is you can load it next to your washer, then move it wherever you want it to go. If the weather changes and starts to rain, you can collapse in the sides and haul it all in without having to pull the laundry off! The foot print is nice for small spaces because you can expand or collapse the frame to fit and still have a drying rack. The drying rack is quite durable and has withstood 4 little boys adjusting it and throwing blankets over it as an impromptu fort when not in use for drying clothes. It stands upright when fully collapsed and can still be used to dry a few items. When we bought this rack we also bought a smaller rack like what you would find at your local store and regretted the purchase of the small rack immediately. We really want 2 of the sun-chasers!! We are selling that one and buying another one of these.	positive
0	Forget the Rabbit	We purchased this item. It began to self-destruct in no time. The "eye" fell out; the "chrome" coating peeled; the innards rusted and the gear movement became erratic. We commented to Amazon[.com] but they said they would only cover it up to two months but that Metrokane would do so for 2 years. The product was returned to them asking for a refund. That was months,letters and multiple emails ago. They essentially ignored us. BUY THE SCREWPULL by Le Creuset. They are a little more but work beautifully - and last forever. Addendum: The company finally did forward a new product after their months of ignoring us ( we actually asked for a refund ). Rest assured - it will stay in the box and be used as a gift. We won't be using it.	negative
1	Love it!	Love this product. Wasn't sure about it initially, thought it might be hard to read from, but now ... I'm hooked!	positive
0	Boring boring boring	It's amazing a book can have so little substance. Laurell K. Hamilton used to be an author whose books I awaited eagerly. I received this one for Christmas and I was hugely disappointed. The writing was lazy and slopping, she used "cupid bow lips" twice in the first 15 pages! Get thee to an editor! Yes, yes, beautiful men want to sleep with Merry. /yawn	negative
1	Good for the price	This pump comes with different "heads" which allows for lots of selections. The pump adjustment knob does not seem to change the pump flow. Good pump for the price ($49). It's been continuously operating for a month or so and all in all quite well. Would have preferred a pump with more capacity for higher water pump height but perhaps I did not research this well enough.	positive
1	Awesome!	This is a wonderful system. The graphics are wonderful, the loading times are none or very little, and Nintendo only focused on games, not hard drives and DVD Players. Nintendo already has 5 good titles out for this system, which include ROgue Leader, Super Smash Brothers, Super Monkey Ball, Luigi's Mansion, Wave Race: Blue Storm, and Pikmin. However, these will be uncomparable to the games that will come out in the future. These include Metroid Prime, Perfect Dark Zero, Animal Forest Plus, Mario Sunshine, Legend of Zelda, Eternal Darkness, Star Fox Adventures, Phantasy Star Online Version 2.0, Evolution Worlds, Mario Kart, and Several other series such as Harvest Moon. Nuff Said?	positive
1	Secret	Interesting story told by the girl, Secret. It is not until the end do you realise what the secret is and how it affected so many people's lives.	positive
1	Tales of the Gold Monkey	Great old TV series. I am an aviation buff, so the Grumman Goose flying is one of the last photographic records of that aircraft in flight.	positive
1	Another view of the Trio Sonatas and quite a good one	This recording is an alternate view of Zelenka's Trio Sonatas under the Berlin Classics Label, alternate from that of Holliger et al or the several Czech, Italian and other German masters who have climbed this Everest of a Composition. Undertaking the task first done in modern times by Holliger and Jaccotett they come through with flying colors. The playing is artistic, playful and exhuberant at times and appropriately restrained at other times but always showing fine craftsmanship. I especially like the ornamentation, which sustains the tension or which mollifys it in a tasteful manner which shows a subtle sense of liberation. Good work on the oboes!	positive
1	white rapper other than eminem. pure genius.	i love the streets. i think this is some of the best material i've heard in a long time. the lyrics are catchy but not cheesy. the song 'lets push things foward' is awesome and i never get tired of listening to it. seriously a must-have album. very very awesome stuff..	positive
1	background music for a romantic evening	Michael Bolton is in his element in tossing off this 2003 collection--a very short one, it must be said--of fine old bluesy-romantic pieces. Gone for the moment is the flamboyant wall of musicians that backs up his more anthemic rock and roll pieces. The music here is supplied by a diminutive assortment of soft-spoken instrumentalist. All that's missing is a smoky stage and a cover charge.It's enough to get a man to wondering about the possibilities that Bolton and, say, Diana Krall might team up on a similar collection in the future. Bolton, truth be told, needs the variety a second voice would bring to this style of intimate singing. His voice is distinctive, strong, assured, but not supple. The give-and-take of a duet would raise the bar here.Bolton always assembles the best available package to make the music that happens behind him. The result?

0	Sorry but overall not too great Neil	From a tremendous Neil Young Fan:- Lyrics: bits and pieces of good Neil Young mixed with what I felt were "quick & dirty" lyrics. Most songs need a bit more polish.- Sound Quality: Strangely lacking. Not sure how anything Neil could be involved with could have sort of a garage band reproduction quality.- Message: In an age of "agree with the politicians or you hate the troops" mentality, its nice to see someone that can speak up. Would actually be harder hitting if it were a bit more subtle. However, I rather loved the Bush quotes in "Lets Impeach the President".	negative
1	This CD ain't half bad!	I was actually pretty impressed when I heard this CD. It had a new, more modern feel to it than most traditional metal albums. I love the drum-work on this album, something I usually pay little attention to. And I love the vocal range these guys have from pure ferocity to deep, almost divine-like "singing" dare I say? Whatever it is I like it. The only fault I have is the lyrics. Really depressing and really hard to embrace. I could care less how "numb" you feel and how you were some poor little victim of society. Get over yourselves and get to some self-help places. If you want some real good, metal-like music with lyrics on the more positive tip, check out some lesser known bands like Earth Crisis, Vision of Disorder, One King Down, Strife, and Culture. These guys all tear it up in a similar vein as Fear Factory, but the lyrics are a lot more thought-provoking and socially conscious. --Kelly Magovern	positive
1	Kenny G it's not	I caught Dave at a smooth jazz holiday concert where he played several tracks from this release and I was taken by the sheer joy of the songs. He collaborates with some top talent, like Chris Botti, David Benoit, and Burt Bacharach, and it combines to make a wonderfully fulfilling record. Instead of the typical soprano sax whining, Dave shows his wizardry by making every song have its own feel and personality. "Together Again" is a great leadoff, but the rest of the record is even better. "Playing by Heart" (with Benoit) is touching, and BeBe Winans makes great work of the Garth Brooks tune "The Dance" All in all, Koz's best and a must have for any smooth jazz fan.	positive

Not a one star because virtually all other toys (except the "ultimate dog bone"!) have been completely destroyed in a matter of minutes.	negative
1	I'm glad my school made me watch this.	At first I wasn't sure what to expect when I watched the movie; my school had it on a list of films we should watch over the summer, and yet there was a pregnant teenager on the cover. I rented it from the library, and actually ended up loving the movie - it's extremely cute, funny, and actually a great movie for families or couples. I'm glad I bought it; I've watched it 4 times in the past few weeks (:	positive
1	Wonderful Album	This is a great Christmas album. There are plenty of original songs, and Andrew Peterson has a great voice. In hindsight, I got to listen to the anniversary version of the album with the live songs, and it is worth the extra money. This will be played every year in our house.The music is in the singer/songwriter or folk genre and is Christian.	positive

1	Patio Dining	I received one of these Bavaria Hams as a gift from a well-meaning, Glazed Ham loving, though non-cooking friend. So, being the nice person that I am, I invited he and some friends over for some Ham, Asparagus and a big pile of Yukon Gold Potato salad. And since it was hotter than blazes inside, I decided to heat the Ham and roast the asparagus and potatoes on the BBQ.I slathered the Ham with my secret BBQ sauce, placed it on the cooler side of the Grill and about 2 hours later we were all sitting down on the patio with a big, hot, delicious, BBQ'd Ham staring us in the face.The French Rose' was poured, the Meal was consumed and a good time was had by all.	positive

1	Fascinating first hand accounts of men captured and living among the Indians	Very interesting book about American colonialists, settlers, hunters and other men being captured and living among Native Americans for several years. Each story is captivating and gives you an appreciation of what these men endured. Some of the captives were adopted into the tribe and forgot alot of their "white man" ways throughout the years and were relunctant and ill-at-ease when they returned to the foreign "white man" world. Some accounts are very brutal and alot of these men's families and friends were butchered before their eyes. Some accounts are peaceful and just as interesting. Overall, a very interesting read that is recommended!!	positive

0	No, no, no, no, no. This should not be!	I am sure that the Bolos books were a good read. It is unfortunate that I happened to begin with the dregs of short stories written by different people. This is obviously an attempt to captialise on what must have been a good series.This book does not stand on its own. As far as I can tell the Bolos are just very big tanks that can do a bit of thinking for themselves. After that it's a case of bang bang flash, ten year old kid's stuff with ray guns. No characterisation, no empathy with the characters, who they defend or the "dreaded" enemy. Nothing. This is cheap thin cardboard and is just the kind of rubbish that should not be published.Whoever the editor and publisher are - shame on you. There are too many good books waiting to be published to put this trash on the shelves. Go hang your heads in shame.There is so little substance in this book, it is impossible to really attack it. How can you attack something without substance. I want my money back!	negative

0	It never fails	It never fails; you see a collection or anthology of books, films, whatever. You eagerly order it, can't wait to open it, and then read or view it. Then reality. I don't know if I changed or the films in question, but none of the subject matter in this collection is the least bit funny, sexy, or weird enough to be interesting. Times change and products from years ago run the risk of being, well, irrelevant. Such is this product.	negative
1	The AP vs. Dave	The American President is far better compared to Dave. The AP has a better story and you would be more likely to watch The AP multiple times compared to Dave which would probably be one of those movies you brought, say huh at the end, and then put it back on the shelf until six months later when you forget if you liked it or not so you watch it again and the process starts over. Besides the cast in the AP is far better than those in Dave. But considering this DVD is only two dollars more than just the American President on its own, its really not a bad buy.	positive
1	Jack and Jill	Alex Cross is back on another big crime stopping adventure, but this time he has to deal with two big investigations. The first one has to deal with major killings, of some very famous people, by a duo known as "Jack and Jill". The first major killing (execution style) is in Washington, D.C. starting with a U.S senator, Daniel Fitzpatrick. While doing all of these killings the duo are "practicing for the big one". The second investigation deals with the brutal killings of young black children in Cross' own neighborhood and at the same school that Cross sends his eldest son Damon. When Cross is asked to come protect the President of the United Sates, he starts to wonder if these to cases may somehow be related. Towards the end when Cross is trying to put two and two together the killers are still out there killing people and terrorizing Washington, D.C.	positive

1	Fortunate to meet this author in person	I have been fortunate enough to meet this author in person on two occasions. This is a frightening book that does not disappoint and is not in the least the "same-old, same-old" formulaic horror book with an easily-guessed ending. It is very clever, and Mr. Maberry bases his "nasties" on old folk-lore, some of it very ancient, instead of popular, and incorrect, misconceptions about these characters. He truly knows his stuff and his research is impeccable. I heard him read an excerpt from the sequel to this book, the second book in this trilogy, "Dead Man's Song," and it is chilling. It comes out soon, and I would recommend buying it along with this first book.	positive

1	Like them, love them... want some more of them	I was very plased to be able to order and receive these speakers from Amazon. The price was really quite good and far below what I could have bought them locally for. As for connection and hook up I was somewhat concerned to find out after I had ordered them that the connection options to my Mac were somewhat limted and not optimal to take full advantage of the 5.1 capabilities. I should have researched before ordering but did find some options such as USB devices to connect better with. However I went ahead and unpacked and hooked it up just to the single output connection and using the matrix option think it sounds terrific and certainly well worth the money. I have not tried movies etc. but really think for music these speakers are perfect. If when I try movies and find the sound lacking will proceed in ordering the USB digital sound adapers.	positive

GOOD IDEA, COULD BE BETTER

The format is very good for kids who thrive in two languages, as songs are played back to back in English and Spanish. I only have three pounds of beef with the product: First, singers' quality. The choir could hardly be more out of key. Another is that Spanish translations for typical English songs are terrible. They do not rhyme at all (see? rhyme = rima), and often a complete and often nonsensical sentence is hurriedly squeezed into a sigle song line. Lastly, the patronizing final line in the video (it is important that parents view this video with their children or sometihng to that effect) is read in Spanish only. Why is this? is there an assumption that Spanish speaking parents, not the English language-only ones plug their kids to the tube and go on with their merry lives? I don't see this kind of patronizing in English language videos, nor this line is read also in English too following it.

Bad example for our girls

McKenna was a lying, back-talking, eye-rolling, spoiled girl wearing makeup. This movie was nothing like the other (awesome) AG movies. What a disappointment for my daughter and our family. American Girl should produce better quality movies. The girls like Caroline and Kit are much better role-models than this McKenna character. A waste of $3.99 HD rental fee.

Bug-Ware. Don't Buy It.

Automatic backups work great. System restore (to new drive) does not work at all. I have Win 2K Pro, SP2 installed on 10 GByte IDE Maxtor. Drive is almost full, due to many applications. Used Ghost 9.0 to create an image of the 10 GByte Maxtor (MAX). Been trying to restore to a new drive, a 30 GByte Western Digital (WDC). Have made more than 3 backup images. Have tried to retore images to the 30 GByte WDC 6-7 times. Used different settings and tweaks. It won't work. WDC drive always crashes. Windows blue screen of death. Most frequent error is "autocheck not found". Live-update (Symantec online app maintenance utility) is useless. Tech support does not exist...unless you pay by the minute. I would recommend using freeware or shareware before buying this product. If you disagree, feel free to spend 40-60 hours of your own time understanding the users manual (almost NO technical content.)

Premium Priced JUNK

I did not purchase this faucet through Amazon, but I did have one installed in our mega kitchen remod nearly four years ago. This faucet for the premium is a piece of junk. First it started leaking around the push button for the spray adjustment within the first year. In the last year or so it has started to leak around the pivot connection on the faucet head.Finally I tried to fix it the other night. And bam I over tightened the faucet head and CRACK. The head of the faucet despite the nice Brushed Nickel finish is nothing but cheap-@ss plastic internally.Kohler is living off their name. JUNK!Kohler parts direct wants over $300 just for a replacement head. If thing had any real quality I might consider it, but for that price I think I am going to try a different faucet.

Musical Tourism

As a long-time fan of Nusrat Fateh Ali Can and his collaborations with Jan Garbarek and Massive Attack I listened to this record with high expectations. However, I felt that Michael Brooks was not sensitive enough to the rhythmic subtleties of the source music and this record was marred for me by a predictable and pedestrian approach to the songs especially in the rhythm section.

I happened upon this book by researching something else, and I must say that I am very pleased with this amazing discovery. I enjoyed the rich, satisfying tale of an adventure to Mars. I highly recommend this book to anyone who needs to escape from Earth a bit and who needs to step outside of humanity to glimpse at how "others" may see us and our blue world.

I rented this movie thinking it couldn't be that bad since they usually don't carry low budget films here.... surprise! It was probably the worst movie I've seen....and surely the most frustrating to watch... really! The camera angles, unfocused shots, bad acting and the editing... wow! Don't buy it, don't rent it, forget you ever came across this film because it blows!

Super Mario Sunshine: He's still super!

This has got to be the best Mario game I ever played besides Super Mario Bros 3. The controls can be frustrating but overall it's a great game. Its a great for all ages. The best part are the 3-D versions of the classic NES and SNES marios. Although this can also be the worst part as sometimes to get to them you must go though a lot of running and spraying and when you lose all your lives and the NES level part you have to start at the begining of the world. So overall,Graphics 5 out of 5Gameplay 4 out of 5Controls 3 out of 5Camera 4 out of 5So overall its a great game with a few bad levels. A must have for mario fans!

It could have been better

"Help!", "I Need You", "Another Girl", "You're Going To Lose That Girl", "Ticket To Ride", "It's Only Love" and "I've Just Seen a Face" are some of the best Beatles songs on any album. I've always hated "Yesterday" and can not listen to it. The other tracks are so-so but detract from the tone and feel of the "Help!"-based songs.This is one of my favorite Beatles albums. I should have gotten the version with the instrumental soundtrack portion from the movie, though.Where's the movie DVD? Please "Help!" (It recently was released and I have it :-)

One Turd Of A Movie

I could not believe how ludicrous Catwoman's suit was--a leather bra and pants?! What were they thinking? The costume is the least of the problems with this stinker, rated alongside "Batman & Robin" and "Superman 4" as the worst all-time superhero movies. The script was utterly atrocious; the acting, quite wooden; and even the special effects fall flat. Alex Borstein (who is Lois Griffin from "Family Guy") is the movie's only saving grace--she should have been picked to play the role of Catwoman in a more alluring leotard/tights getup. Instead, she gets a "b" role and is wasted. What's even more shocking is that Warner Brothers spent $145 million to make this turkey. It should have been better left unmade.

Pale Rider

Although Pale Rider is one of my favourite Clint Eastwood movies, I have to admit that it could have been much better. As in The Outlaw Josey Wales and High Plains Drifter, for example, we have a protagonist who is haunted by a past injustice, an injustice which he strives to rectify through the barrell of a gun. Unfortunately, in Pale Rider, the score between Stockburn and Preacher is much too vague, and so instead of adding to mystery, the viewer is left somewhat baffled. Over all, though, the movie is still very good, and definitely entertaining.

Does the trick...

I like this product... we got it for my 16 month old at Christmas so he can get used to seeing the potty and sitting on it, even though we're not potty training yet. My only complaint is that I wish the pieces would clip in place so they weren't so easy to remove. My son has taken this whole "getting used to the potty" thing to heart and likes to take the potty apart. Not an issue now, but I'm sure it will be once he starts using it!I also like that it LOOKS enough like a toilet that he tries to "rinse" his cloth diapers in it... (like I said, he's a fan)

Inaccurate

I reviewed material relating to the Swartwout-Hoyt scandal and found it full of errors. The book says Swartwout stole $2.25 million, but the audit showed $1.25 million, and later studies have shown that it was less than $400,000. The defalcation surfaced in 1838, not 1841. The bibliography proves the 1841 error citing an 1839 Congressional study. Many other errors and omissions for the Swartwout-Hoyt entry. Such an expensive book owes it to readers to be accurate.

Coincidence?

My daughter is 2 years old and had a problem with biting other children while at daycare. We tried "reasoning" with her - but it didn't seem to help.

Surprisingly, after reading the book to her, she has not had any reported problems of biting anymore. Coincidence? Perhaps. Perhaps not. This book sure is worth trying it for yourself.

irreplaceable avant-garde modern poet

Michael Palmer's poetry is so unique, & always unsparingly brilliant. This might be the most important book of his career, since it collects so much essential poetry he wrote over such a long period of time, such a major proportion of his life. He's done a lot more different things in his poetry since this book, & in the time span this selection covers. But this book is so important to get to know Michael Palmer, & what he's done to 20th & 21st century poetry.

Blatant plea for attention -- no real facts

This book is similar to those "When Animals Attack, Part 2" shows on the Fox network -- and just as thoughtfully written. It's here to sell copies and get the author on the talk show circuit. You'll see him on "Inside Edition", "Hard Copy", and Ollie North's radio program.He cites "studies" but doesn't provide any details on those studies.He lumps the entire "hacker" world into one category.His psychological profiles would make an undergrad professor ill.Heck, this book doesn't deserve any more of my time for a review. If you must read it, read it as you would a bad spy novel, but don't tie it to the real world.

The short story is that my first purchase of this drill was that the hammer function failed after 20 or so holes. Thinking it a fluke, I accepted a replacement. However, I would trade the speed (used for smaller drill bits) for torque. 7/8 auger drill 2/3 into a 4x6 jammed.

My husband and I love this product. It was very easy to install and the convenience of having it in the shower is super.

Our only complaint would be that we wish the hose was a little more flexible as it is a little awkward to sometimes turn it in your mouth! Perhaps we should have ordered the longer one? Otherwise,what a great invention and idea! And so close to our hometown.

Loads "real life" examples of teens with ADHD, great resource

As a parent with 3 of 5 children who have ADD or ADHD this book has been very helpful in understanding the ADHD and teenagers. It does not push a specific agenda, rather the book gives many examples of ADD and ADHD behaviors typical in teens and possible solutions to deal with the associated behavior. The social implications of ADHD are enormous for teens and sometimes I see my children in the examples provided in this book.

Poor Examples

I too decided to read the book due to hype and enjoyed the beginning of the book. I soon found myself skimming forward due to the meaningless examples, military, doctors, etc. Please, we all know that data can be 'sliced' and manipulated to prove anything, even opposing viewpoints so why the long self-serving studies. I don't disagree that certain subconscience responses can guide our actions and views, tell me how to tap into that. Tell me more practical applications and everyday life situations. I found the book to be 25% value and 75% filler.

All creatures big and small

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is the story of four children that stumble into a wardrobe... the magical door to another world.

great lil printer, BUT

I bought this to replace my original HP 4L Laser jet after 15 years. This seems to do a great job so far, much faster downloads and clean print,BUT BEWARE.... IT DOES NOT COME WITH A USB CORD TO CONNECT, so if the printer your replacing has the old stle connecter (as mine did) be ready to spend another $35.00 for a usb cord. That is why I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars.

An invaluable guide for the budget traveller in the USA

Whilst up-to-date and informative for the most part, Rough Guide USA fails to include some of the newer hostels springing up around the country. For example, on a recent visit to Tucson, I was lucky enough to stay at the Roadrunner Hostel. This new hostel is to be found just 3 minutes walk away from Greyhound and Amtrak. Rates are only $13 per night, or $70 per week, well worth a visit.I understand how difficult it must be to keep these travel guides up-to-date, so I hope that the experiences of travellers like myself can be of some help.Keep up the good work!!Happy travelling.

The one that Works

I purchased this product last Fall on a close out sale at a huge national retailer. It worked perfectly. This year I returned to the same retailer in July and they had sold out of the Rescue Brand Fly Traps and didn't plan on restocking until next year. They talked me into purchasing another brand. Needless to say the other brand didn't work. We live next to a cattle pasture and the flies are outrageous near our home. I hung the "other" brand fly trap on the fence between the pasture and my driveway and a week later there were a few flies in the trap. I ordered the Rescue Brand Fly Trap from Amazon and hung 3 of them on the same fence. 3 days later I had to replace the Rescue Brand TrapsRESCUE! FTD-DT12 Disposable Fly Trapbecause they were FULL OF FLIES. I will not use another brand trap because I am not a wealthy person and cannot waste money. The Rescue brand Fly is the one that works. Don't waste your time or money with any other brand.

A Great CD.

I've long admired Split Enz/Crowded House/Neil + Tim Finn, and it's hard to pick one cd to review without reviewing them all. Temple of Low Men is a classic. Of the four Crowded House cds this one has 10 solid tracks with no filler and no excess. Their debut is great, but I think Temple of Low Men moved Crowded House out of the pop spotlight and into a more mature band. The debut is a rougher, less honed effort than Temple is. Temple is also better than Woodface in that it's shorter and more consistent. It's also better than Together Alone for the same reasons--shorter, more consistent songcraft. All of Crowded Houses cds are great, but Temple of Low Men with songs like "Into Temptation", "I Feel Possessed", "When You Come", "Kill Eye", "Better Be Home Soon", "Love This Life", "Mansion in the Slums", "Never Be the Same" and "Sister Madly" show that they can make a classic cd. This is a must have for any rock collector.

Mediocre recipes with dangerous ingredients for pregnant women

I found the recipes to be really average and uninspiring. The nutrition chap was ok but info you can find almost anywhere. What shocked me was the use of ingredients unadvisable for pregnant women. Pineapple, papaya and mango are no no in early pregnancy and this book recommends them. All 3 increase heat in the body and may cause miscarriage. Also sesame oil was given to women to abort unwanted pregnancies in Asian cultures so it's really strange that was included too. I felt I couldn't trust the info in this book so I returned it. I bought the kindle edition which was really terribly organized ... Don't know about the paperbacks.The vegetarian section used way too much tofu so if you have a problem with soy you might not want this book.

Do Not Buy - This is a waste of money

I would rather leave my floor dirty than push all the dirt to one location and watch it pile up. Do not buy this product. I got on my hands and knees when I was done to clean properly. No floor cleaner I have tried is of any value. Retailers that carry this product do not care about selling quality product.

Marlene and too much Max

Maximillian Schell likes to put himself at the center of his supposed biographies of others -- the recent one on his sister/actress Maria Schell (MY SISTER MARIA) and this earlier one on Marlene Dietrich.This one dwells and dwells on his trials with the willful, aging icon during this film's making. It's probably the foregrounding of those behind-the-scenes irrelevancies that the critics admired about this film. There isn't much room, however, for detail, so it winds up a pretty flimsy biography.Max should have followed Marlene's simple formula for a biography. She tells him right there in the interview. But he may not have been paying attention.

More, Please!

My only complaint about this novel is that there isn't a follow up. I couldn't put it down and was sorry when I finished it. Best book I've read all year, and that includes 'Empire Falls'. The characters come alive and are believable - although some of the action is a bit overblown and hard to swallow. But hey, it's fiction. I've known people like this, and I'm just glad that I don't know any like Merle or the sheriff at this moment. It's a bit like 'Smokey and the Bandit' but more fun.

Best drying rack ever!!

We bought this a year and a half ago, and LOVE it!! We call it the sun-chaser, because you can move it with the sun. The best part is you can load it next to your washer, then move it wherever you want it to go. If the weather changes and starts to rain, you can collapse in the sides and haul it all in without having to pull the laundry off! The foot print is nice for small spaces because you can expand or collapse the frame to fit and still have a drying rack. The drying rack is quite durable and has withstood 4 little boys adjusting it and throwing blankets over it as an impromptu fort when not in use for drying clothes. It stands upright when fully collapsed and can still be used to dry a few items. When we bought this rack we also bought a smaller rack like what you would find at your local store and regretted the purchase of the small rack immediately. We really want 2 of the sun-chasers!! We are selling that one and buying another one of these.

Forget the Rabbit

We purchased this item. It began to self-destruct in no time. The "eye" fell out; the "chrome" coating peeled; the innards rusted and the gear movement became erratic. We commented to Amazon[.com] but they said they would only cover it up to two months but that Metrokane would do so for 2 years. The product was returned to them asking for a refund. That was months,letters and multiple emails ago. They essentially ignored us. BUY THE SCREWPULL by Le Creuset. They are a little more but work beautifully - and last forever. Addendum: The company finally did forward a new product after their months of ignoring us ( we actually asked for a refund ). Rest assured - it will stay in the box and be used as a gift. We won't be using it.

Good for the price

This pump comes with different "heads" which allows for lots of selections. The pump adjustment knob does not seem to change the pump flow. Good pump for the price ($49). It's been continuously operating for a month or so and all in all quite well. Would have preferred a pump with more capacity for higher water pump height but perhaps I did not research this well enough.

Awesome!

This is a wonderful system. The graphics are wonderful, the loading times are none or very little, and Nintendo only focused on games, not hard drives and DVD Players. Nintendo already has 5 good titles out for this system, which include ROgue Leader, Super Smash Brothers, Super Monkey Ball, Luigi's Mansion, Wave Race: Blue Storm, and Pikmin. However, these will be uncomparable to the games that will come out in the future. These include Metroid Prime, Perfect Dark Zero, Animal Forest Plus, Mario Sunshine, Legend of Zelda, Eternal Darkness, Star Fox Adventures, Phantasy Star Online Version 2.0, Evolution Worlds, Mario Kart, and Several other series such as Harvest Moon.

Another view of the Trio Sonatas and quite a good one

This recording is an alternate view of Zelenka's Trio Sonatas under the Berlin Classics Label, alternate from that of Holliger et al or the several Czech, Italian and other German masters who have climbed this Everest of a Composition. Undertaking the task first done in modern times by Holliger and Jaccotett they come through with flying colors. The playing is artistic, playful and exhuberant at times and appropriately restrained at other times but always showing fine craftsmanship. I especially like the ornamentation, which sustains the tension or which mollifys it in a tasteful manner which shows a subtle sense of liberation. Good work on the oboes!

background music for a romantic evening

Michael Bolton is in his element in tossing off this 2003 collection--a very short one, it must be said--of fine old bluesy-romantic pieces. Gone for the moment is the flamboyant wall of musicians that backs up his more anthemic rock and roll pieces. The music here is supplied by a diminutive assortment of soft-spoken instrumentalist. All that's missing is a smoky stage and a cover charge.It's enough to get a man to wondering about the possibilities that Bolton and, say, Diana Krall might team up on a similar collection in the future. Bolton, truth be told, needs the variety a second voice would bring to this style of intimate singing. His voice is distinctive, strong, assured, but not supple. The give-and-take of a duet would raise the bar here.Bolton always assembles the best available package to make the music that happens behind him. The result? A light, appealing, exceedingly short tribute to songs well written, long ago.

Sorry but overall not too great Neil

From a tremendous Neil Young Fan:- Lyrics: bits and pieces of good Neil Young mixed with what I felt were "quick & dirty" lyrics. Most songs need a bit more polish.- Sound Quality: Strangely lacking. Not sure how anything Neil could be involved with could have sort of a garage band reproduction quality.- Message: In an age of "agree with the politicians or you hate the troops" mentality, its nice to see someone that can speak up. Would actually be harder hitting if it were a bit more subtle. However, I rather loved the Bush quotes in "Lets Impeach the President".

This CD ain't half bad!

I was actually pretty impressed when I heard this CD. It had a new, more modern feel to it than most traditional metal albums. I love the drum-work on this album, something I usually pay little attention to. And I love the vocal range these guys have from pure ferocity to deep, almost divine-like "singing" dare I say? Whatever it is I like it. The only fault I have is the lyrics. Really depressing and really hard to embrace. I could care less how "numb" you feel and how you were some poor little victim of society. Get over yourselves and get to some self-help places. If you want some real good, metal-like music with lyrics on the more positive tip, check out some lesser known bands like Earth Crisis, Vision of Disorder, One King Down, Strife, and Culture. These guys all tear it up in a similar vein as Fear Factory, but the lyrics are a lot more thought-provoking and socially conscious. --Kelly Magovern

Kenny G it's not

I caught Dave at a smooth jazz holiday concert where he played several tracks from this release and I was taken by the sheer joy of the songs. He collaborates with some top talent, like Chris Botti, David Benoit, and Burt Bacharach, and it combines to make a wonderfully fulfilling record. Instead of the typical soprano sax whining, Dave shows his wizardry by making every song have its own feel and personality. "Together Again" is a great leadoff, but the rest of the record is even better. "Playing by Heart" (with Benoit) is touching, and BeBe Winans makes great work of the Garth Brooks tune "The Dance" All in all, Koz's best and a must have for any smooth jazz fan.

I'm glad my school made me watch this.

At first I wasn't sure what to expect when I watched the movie; my school had it on a list of films we should watch over the summer, and yet there was a pregnant teenager on the cover. I rented it from the library, and actually ended up loving the movie - it's extremely cute, funny, and actually a great movie for families or couples. I'm glad I bought it; I've watched it 4 times in the past few weeks (:

This is a great Christmas album. There are plenty of original songs, and Andrew Peterson has a great voice. In hindsight, I got to listen to the anniversary version of the album with the live songs, and it is worth the extra money. This will be played every year in our house.The music is in the singer/songwriter or folk genre and is Christian.

Patio Dining

I received one of these Bavaria Hams as a gift from a well-meaning, Glazed Ham loving, though non-cooking friend. So, being the nice person that I am, I invited he and some friends over for some Ham, Asparagus and a big pile of Yukon Gold Potato salad. And since it was hotter than blazes inside, I decided to heat the Ham and roast the asparagus and potatoes on the BBQ.I slathered the Ham with my secret BBQ sauce, placed it on the cooler side of the Grill and about 2 hours later we were all sitting down on the patio with a big, hot, delicious, BBQ'd Ham staring us in the face.The French Rose' was poured, the Meal was consumed and a good time was had by all.

Fascinating first hand accounts of men captured and living among the Indians

Very interesting book about American colonialists, settlers, hunters and other men being captured and living among Native Americans for several years. Each story is captivating and gives you an appreciation of what these men endured. Some of the captives were adopted into the tribe and forgot alot of their "white man" ways throughout the years and were relunctant and ill-at-ease when they returned to the foreign "white man" world. Some accounts are very brutal and alot of these men's families and friends were butchered before their eyes. Some accounts are peaceful and just as interesting. Overall, a very interesting read that is recommended!!

No, no, no, no, no. This should not be!

I am sure that the Bolos books were a good read. It is unfortunate that I happened to begin with the dregs of short stories written by different people. This is obviously an attempt to captialise on what must have been a good series.This book does not stand on its own. As far as I can tell the Bolos are just very big tanks that can do a bit of thinking for themselves. After that it's a case of bang bang flash, ten year old kid's stuff with ray guns. No characterisation, no empathy with the characters, who they defend or the "dreaded" enemy. Nothing. This is cheap thin cardboard and is just the kind of rubbish that should not be published.Whoever the editor and publisher are - shame on you. There are too many good books waiting to be published to put this trash on the shelves. Go hang your heads in shame.There is so little substance in this book, it is impossible to really attack it. How can you attack something without substance. I want my money back!

It never fails

It never fails; you see a collection or anthology of books, films, whatever. You eagerly order it, can't wait to open it, and then read or view it. Then reality. I don't know if I changed or the films in question, but none of the subject matter in this collection is the least bit funny, sexy, or weird enough to be interesting. Times change and products from years ago run the risk of being, well, irrelevant. Such is this product.

The AP vs. Dave

The American President is far better compared to Dave. The AP has a better story and you would be more likely to watch The AP multiple times compared to Dave which would probably be one of those movies you brought, say huh at the end, and then put it back on the shelf until six months later when you forget if you liked it or not so you watch it again and the process starts over. Besides the cast in the AP is far better than those in Dave. But considering this DVD is only two dollars more than just the American President on its own, its really not a bad buy.

Jack and Jill

Alex Cross is back on another big crime stopping adventure, but this time he has to deal with two big investigations. The first one has to deal with major killings, of some very famous people, by a duo known as "Jack and Jill". The first major killing (execution style) is in Washington, D.C. starting with a U.S senator, Daniel Fitzpatrick. While doing all of these killings the duo are "practicing for the big one". The second investigation deals with the brutal killings of young black children in Cross' own neighborhood and at the same school that Cross sends his eldest son Damon. When Cross is asked to come protect the President of the United Sates, he starts to wonder if these to cases may somehow be related. Towards the end when Cross is trying to put two and two together the killers are still out there killing people and terrorizing Washington, D.C.

Fortunate to meet this author in person

I have been fortunate enough to meet this author in person on two occasions. This is a frightening book that does not disappoint and is not in the least the "same-old, same-old" formulaic horror book with an easily-guessed ending. It is very clever, and Mr. Maberry bases his "nasties" on old folk-lore, some of it very ancient, instead of popular, and incorrect, misconceptions about these characters. He truly knows his stuff and his research is impeccable. I heard him read an excerpt from the sequel to this book, the second book in this trilogy, "Dead Man's Song," and it is chilling. It comes out soon, and I would recommend buying it along with this first book.

Like them, love them... want some more of them

I was very plased to be able to order and receive these speakers from Amazon. The price was really quite good and far below what I could have bought them locally for. As for connection and hook up I was somewhat concerned to find out after I had ordered them that the connection options to my Mac were somewhat limted and not optimal to take full advantage of the 5.1 capabilities. I should have researched before ordering but did find some options such as USB devices to connect better with. However I went ahead and unpacked and hooked it up just to the single output connection and using the matrix option think it sounds terrific and certainly well worth the money. I have not tried movies etc. but really think for music these speakers are perfect. If when I try movies and find the sound lacking will proceed in ordering the USB digital sound adapers.
