MAGICAL
|
To call BEING JOHN MALKOVICH a work of genius seems inadequate. Kaufman's script is so strikingly original, and Spike Jonze's direction so adroit it restored my faith in Hollywood. The cast from John Cusack, Cameron Diaz ( in my favorite Diaz-role ), John Malkovich, Catherine Keener, and Orson Bean, are terrific.The only experience I can equate this movie to is my first bungey jump. You'll laugh, you may even cry, but you won't be bored by this film.

It Works!
|
Every 25 hours, I recomend using this product. It can be rewound and used 3 times I believe. Lasts me for years. I use on Camcorders as well as Mini-DV, Player-Recorder. Assures you of clean heads using the dry tape cleaning formula. Takes seconds to work!

It's alright...
|
We bought this for the "pet tool" it's advertized to be, but it is difficult to use. It doesn't have a guard, so it is messy, but is also hard to control on the dog's nails. It's also a bit too loud, so it frightens them. It's still a struggle to trim the nails, but I guess still better than cutting.

Why We laugh
|
An imformative and inspiring documentary, which puts the importance of comedy in perspective. Understanding the role that it has played in the shaping and reflection of a culture. Also it was great to see the thoughts and opinions of many outstanding leading comics. As one in the Arts, it encouraged me to continue to strive for excellence and have something to say.Why We Laugh

Hilarious

This movie was even funnier than the first. I love how they brought back characters from the first movie and continued storylines. Definitely recommended, but you need to make sure you see the first movie before this one. :)I'd stop after this one though, Tremors 3 was pretty bad.

A monumental experiment
|
This LP is a successful experiment in what electronic music can be. From minimal techno and breaks to tripped out r&b and soulful house, this LP delivers. Truly diverse and interesting. This album is the best thing Atkins has accomplished, in my opinion, and that's saying something as he is regarded as one of the most infuential techno artists of the 90's. One of the gem's of my music collection. Little known. Make it your own.

Brand New-Deja Entendu
|
Brand New's latest release deserves all of the critical acclaim that it is receiving. This truly is one of the top rock albums released in the year 2003. If you can appreciate good music and all the hard work that goes into creating an outstanding album, fork over the $12 for Deja Entendu. If Jessie Lacy keeps this up these fellas honestly could go down as one of the all time greats in the industry. Look for more good things to come.94/100

The Only Way Is Up
|
This album is a true achievment .... its funny how people can be so picky ... i had to laugh at the reviewer who stated that acoustic songs and solo's were a bad point... slipknot have evolved from run of the mill generic ... to trend setting ... there songs now have great structure are progressive melodical .. and the solo's are of hight quality ... especially the guitar work ... they are a cut above the rest when it comes to musicianship these days compared to crap like killswitch and nickleback and limp bizkit ... i tell you what... if this is the future of alt/metal or whatever the hell they call it ... the future is very bright indeed .... so to all the narrow minded ppl who get offended by musical prowess and creativity stay away from this ... its a total and utter achievment ... solo's acoustic songs... melodies and all .... a must buy !!!!

Bad reception! Good thing that it's no longer available!

...I decided to get this no frills 2.4 GHz GE phone. This phone works fine inside the house. But when I stepped outside, during a phone conversation, I will get this constant clicking as it tries to keep the signal with the base. Even when I have set the base high, and away from any electronic equipment. I returned it! So don't bother with this one!

Three out of four
|
I was really going to give this set a four star. The sound and picture is adequate or better and the humor, for an old guy at least, is far superior to anything filmed in the past three decades. Then, I plugged in disc 4. Hey, it said it was disc 4 of season one of "Car 54 Where are you?" Wow!!!! It turned out to be a travelogue of Haiti, something I expect to be watching when I am consigned to hell for having a bad attitude.This is not to stop you from the purchase, but, just as soon as you get your package, play at least the intro of each disc to make sure it really is "Car 54..." I waited too long to return the set. Well, I got 75% of the first season anyhow.

we need to get the nu-metal out of the music industry for good,or at least regulate it to the high school CHILDREN!anyone over the age of 18 who finds this cd intruiging,smart,or "sassy" must have some very serious developmental problems in the head!I can't see for the life of me how some fruitcake can headbang,dance,or see that this is cool in any way,fasion,or form.When all you mtv lovers finally grow up,take a listen to bands like Type O Negative,Down,Soulfly,Sepultura,Sigur Ros,Buckethead,Death cube k,Primus,Angelo Badalamenti,Kronos Quartet,Corrosion of Conformity,Tool,etc.Or please watch a movie directed by David Lynch,David Croneberg,or the brothers Quay instead of"honey","2 fast 2 furious",.......i.e. plug yourself into the world for once!

Java and XML for the real coder

It's my business to read a lot of Java books and know a lot about Java. As far as I am concerned, this is the book that lets me put Java and XML together into projects that work for me on my job.If you want to get past the alphabet soup and start writing code that really does something with XML, there isn't a better book than this one.The book covers the Apache XML Project products in detail as well as the Sun APIs.

Big let down
|
Just the fun and cute set my 3 year old was looking for, but after only 2 hours of play, half of the princesses have lost heads! Reading the inconsistent reviews, I'm totally confused. I wonder if it depends where/when these are bought and/or manufactured. I will be contacting Mattel directly to see what they suggest. I'm also frustrated that they haven't come up with a way to make the shoes stay on better, but that also seems inconsistent for reviewers. As a major toy producer, Mattel should have higher production standards, for sure.

Castelnuovo-Tedesco:Romancero Gitano
|
This CD is full of some of the best choral music I've heard in a long time. If I was forced to choose a favorite, it would be the Lauridsen, "Chansons des Roses". These pieces are performed with great finesse and careful attention to important details like diction, pitch, and dynamics. It is a difficult a capella set to sing, yet it is meticulously performed and is fascinating to hear over and over. The text is very romantic. Beautiful!

Beat up book
|
The actual content in the book is very good and teaches you programming with c++ very easily. But the company I bought it from listed it as a very good quality that that is the opposite of this book. It was underlined and highlighted on almost every page, it is very beat up, the book is ripped in half down the middle. Looks like it was in a few nuclear wars.

Not an Audio CD!
|
This CD is "copy protected" by the Cactus Data Shield. It doesn't conform to the CD-Digital Audio standard, and is not an Audio CD. For me, it was unlistenable on my computers AND my discman; listening to it on a friends machine, it sounded good, but I returned it as defective. Very disappointing.

Feel sorry for this tormented soul
|
I am neither a democrat nor a republican because I believe when it comes to voting, I would look at the issues at hand and vote for the best candidates, not for a party. I am conservative on some issues, and liberal on others. However, I had the mosfortune of listening to him on a local FM talk radio. I feel sorry for this guy. He seems to be very upset with everything. He is always very hateful, very vengeful and bellicose - specially toward liberals. The way he mocks and attacks Muslims remind me of the conditions of Jews in Nazi Germany. I hope he does not represent true conservatives.

Within my first six hours of landing in Auckland, I stumbled upon a free concert headlining none other than Salmonella Dub. Gotdamn, what a day!!! Salmonella Dub is the band that 311 wish they could be. They really are the soundtrack to the Shaky Island. Buy this album and then sell your wife/husband/children/soul to raise the funds to get down to New Zealand. I hope they headline the states soon.

Some gripping moments, nothing resolved
|
Sounds pretty much like the experience of life, I suppose. In my life, fortunately, I don't have to spend the day watching and listening to men gracelessly weathering the pangs of inner turmoil. Most of the people I know have the good manners to hide their 'quiet desperation' until they're at home and the dog is within kicking range. I love Godard and foreign film, but this 'in-your-face' pretensiousness is inexcusable. Still, offensive anti-American content is worth at least 2 stars!

Diappointed

I registered for the Eddie Bauer Swing along with other Eddie Bauer items. I loved the look of the wood because it matched my wood floor. After using it for several weeks it stopped swinging. After changing the batteries it was obvious the swing was broken. Babies R Us was kind enough to exchange it but the same thing happened to the 2nd Eddie Bauer Swing. It was such a disappointment because it looked so perfect in my living room and now I'm stuck with a broken swing. I am also going to contact the manufactuer.

what happened to the old Rob?
|
Lately it seems like Rob Zombie has lost alot of his grit, this album sounds a lot like a Black Sabbath album or something of that nature. I absolutely loved Hellbilly Delux, and Sinister Urge was all right, but Rob has really gone downhill in my opinion. A lot of the tracks on here are boring and uninspired, Let it All Bleed out is all right, but I would take any track from Hellbilly over it. BRING BACK THE OLD ROB ZOMBIE!!!!!

Are you people nuts or just blind?
|
If I could give this book no stars, I would in a heartbeat. This book was most likely THE WORST Star Wars novel I've read since the Black Fleet Crisis. Never should a new author be allowed to do such horrid things to the Star Wars universe. Thank God for Michael Stackpole, who is rehabilitating the storyline for the New Jedi Order arc with his usual skill and flare. Salavatore should NOT be writing any more Star Wars novels, in my opinion.

While the shipping was AMAZING, the book itself is not much use other than as a list of problems. The text explaining the theory behind is written like sandpaper and often jumps around leaving important processes out. It would be a very hard book to use as a solo resource w/o an instructor leading.

A great CD for meditation
|
I was skeptical at first when I ordered this, because I've had bad luck with several meditation music CDs I've purchased. I'm happy to say that I was very pleasantly surprised with this one. I received it about a week ago. I've used it a few times already, and am very pleased with it. Its soothing tones enable me to meditate and focus on each chakra easily, without being distracted.

Rainbow Six is the absolute worst game I have ever played on the game boy. the graphics are ok but the game play is terrible. The guys move terribly slow, the cpu guys are extremely dumb and never actually hit you, the planning is a waste of way too much time and the levels are extremely easy. I recomend this game only to newcomers with a lots of patience. I think it was a poor excuse of a game but oh well, I say and you can quote me "dont waste your time and money."

Son Loves it
|
My son gave me the money to buy this 1-6 set. He always got into mine and finally he had me order him his own set. He is now lacking the 7th (last book) and it has to be paperback to go w/ the rest of his collection. But anyways, I highly recommend this and all Harry Potter Books and Movies. You will get lost in the book and feel like your actually playing the parts of the character's.

When I contacted the supplier, they said that they do not supply the adapter and I should try Radio Shack. Very disappointed in their response.

Saw her this past week in annapolis...she did the entire album and I loved every minute of it...from the soulful "secret" to the popular "where I stood" to the poignant "forgive me" I don't have any songs on this album that I don't like which is very rare for me..the more you listen to the album you realize that what started out as a seemingly very simple sounding compilation of songs are in fact much more complex and layered..I find myself picking up on subtleties that I would have missed had I not given the album a few listens..she will forever be in rotation on my MP3 player and I look forward to her future endeavors..her native australia is justified in giving her so many accolades and I'm hopeful that the U.S. will follow suit largely in part because of this album

Improvements...
|
well the first album "tip" was ok. some of the songs were a little hard to listen to but over all it was ok. but this new album "Grayest of blue skies" beats it out, definitely. it has some of the old styles mix with some more new. songs like "First Time", "My Carousel", and "Bones & Joints" just caught my attention right off. "Broken Words" is a nice softer song, not as heavy and provides a nice suddelty to the album. although "Walking in My Shoes" and "Drag You Down" did get a little annoying. They just didnt have very much to them. so over all, despite the two rather disappointing songs, "Grayest of blue skies" is definitely an improvement and a great album.

Powerful drama
|
I have to admit, I was a little wary of going to see this movie. After all, I had heard about the trashy scenes and didn't know if it would be that great of a movie. However, I went and I thought it was great! You can read so much about the great ship Titanic, but never fully grasp the horror these people must have felt knowing that their lives were almost over. Predictable? Of course it was! You can't change the real story. And Leonardo DiCaprio did an excellent job and was most definitely more deserving of an Oscar than Kate Winslet. I do wish that they had omitted the crude scenes; however, on the whole, I must say it was a very enjoyable movie.

I should have written it!

Except he did it better than I ever would. It didn't break my heart, nor do I believe it is a genius work. But what a great piece of writting! Witty, funny and yet moving, Eggers echoes our twentysomething hearts (what a sad cliché...). And although his circumstances were unique, the way he lived and thought about it reflects how most of us feels (or at least the manic-depressive, paranoid and/or neurotic - which encompasses, save some mistake, most of us all).Now I know I am not the only one angry...

A Vince Furnier Record
|
I hate this record. Why? It should have been recorded under the name Vince Furnier. It's the point where Alice loses his ferocity and sex appeal (never genuinely regained). The character Alice died from alcohol abuse after "Lace and Whiskey." "From The Inside" is a decent, honest sounding collection of tunes done commercial 70's style. He could've broken away from the character "Alice" and became something more than the parody of Alice he was destined to become. If you're determined to lie to yourself and think that this album is something to buy, then listen to "Quiet Room" and "Nurse Rozetta." Atleast those two are great. A star for each.

An out-standing futuristic detective novel.
|
This book has all the elements of a good detective story: crime, suspense, and it makes you think. The story keeps surprising the reader with new and fascinating events or evidence.Even though it's based on the TV show, it definitely could have been a stand-alone book. All the information based on the series is explained shortly and a person with no knowledge of the show can understand it easily.Almost all the book is very well written, except for one part where the author shows a "trashy" side, when Garibaldi holds Ivanova and feels attracted to her, and feels "her feminine body shivering". The author stopped herself at the right time, not writing sleezy lines, and getting back to the problems of the investigation.This is the best book of the Babylon 5 novel series, and for Babylon 5 fans it is very highly recommended, a "don't miss" book, and for non-fans it's recommended, a "can read" book.

this album is more personal than the others in which too many people just can't seem to relate to but true loyal fans find each one of his songs a goldmine. i have been listening to seal long before his music got enough airplay to get recognized and this man has been truly been blessed. always in the beginning you just can't touch base until you come back again and listen and by that time you are hooked.

Not bad, but not great
|
Greene divided his novels into serious works such as The Power And The Glory and "entertainments" such as This Gun For Hire or The Confidential Agent written for popular audiences. The Human Factor belongs in the second category. Fans of Le Carre and Frederic Forsyth will enjoy it as much as I did, but someone who has never read Greene before should not expect anything more than a well-written airport bookstore novel.

He is now 7 mo old and although i can't just sit him in the Bumbo anymore and expect him to stay, he will still sit in his Bumbo supervised and plays with this toy, he still loves it! One of the best investments for him to date! Highly recommend it!

Tasty New Orleans Swamp Jazz
|
Dr. John is in rare form on this live disc, recorded with the Donald Harrison Band at NYC's legendary Birdland. Some of these songs are straight-forward blues numbers, while others are Mardi Gras chants given a jazz workout. Taking a break from the piano bench, the good Doctor plays guitar and growls out voodoo mumbo-jumbo while the rhythm section keeps the pulse pounding. This is easily Dr. John's best album since "Goin' Back to New Orleans" (and that's saying something, since he's released 4 or 5 good records since then). Outstanding tracks include the gambler's tale, "Shave 'Em Dry," and "Jac-A-Mo-Fi-Na-Hay," which takes a phrase from his classic "Iko Iko" and reworks it into a whole new song. This album is a stellar combination of deep, swampy funk and tight jazz ensemble playing. And you can't go wrong with an album that contains the following lyric: "I'm only 38 / My woman's 93 / My friends all think I'm crazy / But the will's made out to me!" Highly recommended.

May you never find what you are looking for
|
The beginning of the novel is exciting. Describing the backpacker scene in Bangkok, and the death of the mysterious traveler with his story of a legendary Beach, untouched by human hands, that everyone is looking for. This searching for a Shangri La in exotic surroundings describes the state of mind of the young long distance backpacker very well, where Shangri La or the Beach can be a symbol for a lot of things. Once the Beach is found though it turns out to be a dissapointment. It's the searching for the unknown that was fun. The Beach turns out to be populated by your average collection of travelers you meet on the road. And after an initial spell of the ecxitement caused by the meeting of like-minded people, they turn out to be rather irritating and pretty boring. This is exactly what happens with the novel too. There isn't a lot to do on the Beach either. Reader, may you never find what you are looking for!

Don't let FOX profit from this garbage they call Season 9!
|
The X-Files used to be the greatest show on TV. Note the word USED. It should have ended after season 7, but Fox wouldnt let it go out on top. If you have seen the show, then the only reason you should purchase this is if youre crazy and enjoy watching awful shows. If you haven't seen it, get the other seasons instead. Regardless of all this, I am still half tempted to buy it, becuase I have compulsion that requires me to collect all things from the show, like the action figures, the lunchbox, t-shirts.... But if you are planning on getting this expecting outstanding storywriting and acting like the seasons that preceded this one, you will be extremely dissapointed.

NOT Worth It!!!!

Okay so I got this for christmas when it was still worth a lot it was around 300.00 and it worked and worked until around March. It just started getting stuck on hold when it was never on hold and freezing I tried restoring it and I called the company. The man was really nice but they try to trick you into buying a new warrenty. They told me that it had been over 3months and that the warrenty had expired but I had the paper saying 1 year warrenty he said thats for being able to call and that i needed to buy a new warrenty for 59.99. This ipod is not worth one penny. I explained that it started to show a picture of an ipod with a sad face and he told me ipods dont do that. i wasnt lying I am currently saving for a 30gb video ipod and i will be buying everything nescessary and keeping everything that way the ipod will look new when it breaks and they cant say i dropped it.

has anyone else noticed that there isnt a single nirvana song? of all of the bands of the 90s, nirvana was undoubtedly one of the more luminary bands. and yet they appear nowhere on this compilation. instead, we are treated to the worst of the consumerist, disposable pop trash the 90s had to offer. a retrospective album should do more to cover the diverse styles of music that were prevalent at this time, but this album falls short in every aspect.

Criticisms of this book fall mostly into the name calling variety such as that person doesn't have a degree which can be a badge of honour in some circles as opposed to the puffed up degrees from no name religious schools. The references he uses are excellent and more fully explained in D.M. Murdock (AKA Acharya)books. For those of us who find most theologians these days some what lacking this book show a way forward.

Good read, but maybe too favorable
|
Recently, I've began reading a series of Presidential biographies. First I read "Master of the Senate" which is about LBJ. Next, I decided to read this book about Nixon.I found it to be a good read, although the author seems to make it his mission to rehabilitate Nixon a little too much. He makes guys like John Dean, H.R. Haldeman, and Bob Ehrlicman look like the main villians in Watergate, and gives too much credit to G. Gordon Liddy. It does a good job of following the major events in Nixon's life, and it does lack the anti-Nixon bias that many Americans, myself included, have towards the 37th President.I recommend the book, but I do warn you that it may be a little to pro-Nixon for some people.

Great starter cans.
|
They sound great for their price.They may hurt your head at first, so stretching it will help.They do a decent job on isolating outside noise, but my current sets can leak sound. This is generally only noticeable in a dead room.The price was a steal for such great sound, however, that's exactly why it's only 4 stars. The sound isn't near the quality of 100$+ sets, but they're good enough. Basically, they're great for bass heavy music, but they lack treble power and control.If you're just starting out in the audiophile world, these are a great start.

train runs off it's tracks

Could have been interesting, on a tough topic. Midway through the movie, the viewer feels like one is tied down and forced to listen to a harsh lecture-one needs to be entertained in a movie, not tossed with one cliche after the other. A movie that in theory could happen in real life should show people behaving as they actually do, not as this movie does. Beyond ridiculous, a movie with no realism, and people behaving in ways that are laughable. Just because a movie is sick, does not make it good. in the end, a movie has to make at least some sense, and it HAS TO ENTERTAIN! This movie does neither. I had to watch 10 sitcoms to get it's foolishness out of my head.

Poor Design
|
I gave five of these for Christmas gifts. One was returned because it was broken right out of the box. Another one the recepient wouldn't return but he's reglued the legs many times over. A third one is broken but again, the recipient feels embarrased to return it. I'M the one who's embarrased! The design needs reworking!

Pretty cool.
|
This movie did not suck...unless you know the comic book real well than of course it probably does. As for the effects...amazing!!!! Great CGI! Nicholas Cage, Eva Mendes, and Sam Elliot are pretty good in this film but Peter Fonda's acting is incredibly poor. Truly, Peter Fonda is horrible in this movie. The not so known actors are not so great either. The ending is kinda lame...but it's a verry entertaining movie regardless of these flaws.

Finally some Innovation!
|
Just when i was getting tired of metal because all new bands come up with something thats been done before and sounds like any other rock gig. Well now there's evanescence, which contrary to some criticism is a band with a unique sound. Yeah sure, goths been doen before, But hasd it been done with a female vocalist at the helm. Thats what makes this a great band. Amy lee has soaring vocals which add another dimension to songs which already have depth and gothic lyrics. The cd opens with tracks like "going uder" and "bring me to life" two tracks which give goth rock new meaning. And tracks like "hello" and My Immortal add variation. Everything's been done right here, from the amazing vocals to the upbeat rythms of the songs and great sounding guitars. Evanescence surely brings much needed innovation and creativity which is found lacking in most of todays bands.

A new dawn in music

Historical concert and, in a sense, the begining of a new era in operatic music. Also an opportunity to take high level singing to otherwise ignorant (in the goos snse of course) people that never had the opportunity to listen to Good Music.

Ah, the memories
|
This album, in its shorter vinyl version, was my introduction to Irish folk music in 1963. It's a mix of traditional folk and rebel tunes, and a good base for further exploration into the genre. As a teen just beginning to explore a world of ideals, I soaked it all up, but especially loved the Children's Medley, portions of which I sang to my youngest brother and later my own children and grandchildren in their lullabys.I so appreciate this longer, complete concert as it gives a more in-depth reminder of the way things were, way back when.

A bit big but pretty good before it stopped working
|
We bought this since an earlier Toshiba DVD players had worked great and with more kids we decided to get a second. Well the original older model is still goign strong - this stopped working after about 2 years of relativley light use. Should have gone with Consumer reports recco. the otehr issue was the controls are almost counterintutive to get to functions like dimming screen resolution so it doesn't eat the battery.

Ho-hum
|
Post-Modern posturing and hocus pocus masquerading as mysticism and eschatology. Larkin is the closest thing to an interesting character this book presents, and its pacing makes frozen molasses seem to run like quicksilver. No need to mention plot inconsistencies and outright gaffes by the author. The editor should be shot.

A Story of Two Boxers
|
I didn't think a story on this subject could keep me involved, but I'm happy to say I finished it, and 'Hey Mikey' I liked it.The story starts out with two gang members of rival gangs, Mike and Tony involved in a fight to the death. As the story progresses, the two men begin their careers as boxers. Oneeven ends up champion. I won't tell you who, but he's my favorite.I love drama, and this book had plenty of it. For instance, the episode with Rose Ann, and the scene with J.F.K. I enjoyed this book, and once I picked it up, I couldn't put it down.SKYLINE gets five stars from me. Good going, Dave;)

Not at all satisfying mere salon music..this isn't Winston.
|
Strange, but those who like "Forest" don't seem to enjoy this album too much--including myself. I completely agree with everything that was said in Bryan Douglas's review. It is overall a nice set of easy-listening tunes, but all of these pieces presented here could be performed by any other pianist of this genre and I wouldn't be able to find any difference. The extra tracks do not contribute too much either, I don't see a reason for anyone to get this "limited edition" instead of the plain version.I'm not saying that this album is not worth at all; it could be a very soothing, relaxing album to some people that simply enjoy those qualities of the music. If you were shocked and disappointed by the previous "Forest", then you may find this compensatory. However, this is not at all of the same class as other albums by Winston, which are true classics.

A good piece of regional fiction
|
Being not the biggest fan of fiction, I found myself captivated by "Winterkill" largely due to Lesley's vivid descriptions of my hometown and the land where I grew up.Lesley may not possess the greatest storytelling ability. His plot does sag and drag and suffers from underdevelopment.That said, "Winterkill" makes for a fine read due to Lesley's characters: a family of modern day Nez Pearce Indians and his aforementioned depictions of a specific regional space. I have hunted and hiked Red Elk canyon and currently live on the Umatilla River, attend the Round-Up on a yearly basis, drive by the Dalles Indian long house and teach in Pendleton: all settings described in this book. It really is quite fun to read a story taking place in areas I am familiar with.All in all a fine piece of regional fiction well worth a look.

so disappoited about SEASON 2...
|
please, forgive me my bad english, because I'm living in Germany.Maybe SEASON 1 was too brilliant, so that the expectations for SEASON 2 were too high. But after looking the first disc of SEASON 2 I was already confused if this was still THE L WORD.The Characters changed in a unexplainable way, the plot is sometimes is so boring that I found me grabbing my remote to play forward and the whole spirit was gone.I felt after every episode in SEASON 1 positive thoughts and the need to find out what's next, but in SEASON 2 I asked myself why I wanted to see more.Nevertheless, I will finish the whole box, but I will also reduce the euphoric fans of L-WORD that this SEASON 2 is nothing compaired to SEASON 1The 3 stars are only for the actors and their try to save the show with their performances.

Solid performer for the money
|
Bogen/Manfrotto produces very decent products for the money. Are they the best? No, Gitzo carbon fiber is probably the best, but at 3-4x the cost. If you are an avid amateur, this monopod represents a greta value. I purchased a Bogen 3011 tripod over 20 years ago and it still works great. Highly recommended.

Pretty Lame
|
This CD is pretty lame. It starts off with a very forgettable 13:10 minute mix of the "Hills of Katmandu" by Tantra. Sylvester does "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)", and well, I love Sylvester. The Pet Shop Boys "Always on My Mind" mix is next, and I just found that particular mix a snooze fest. The next cut was a cover of the song "Venus" by Obsession. I'd never heard of this group. After I listened to this cover, I know why. First of all, if you're going to cover a song that's been around since the 60s, AT LEAST GET THE WORDS CORRECT. Lord love a duck, it's not: "her weapons were her crystal eyes; making every man a MAN." Good grief. The only other cut worth any attention was Rosabel's (Featuring Jennifer Holiday) mix of "And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going."I expect more out of a compilation CD and guys you cannot tell me that this is what's played all the time at all the clubs. No wonder I stopped going out. Just a little too cheesy and disco-y for me.

I really loved this movie.
|
If you like cheesy films, this film is for you. I liked the monster because Boris Karloff did a good job of acting. The man with one arm was scary. I liked the little boy who was the grandson of Dr. Frankenstein. In "Frankenstein's Daughter," Dr. Frank was bad and he was the grandson of Dr. Frankenstein. I hope this little boy did not become like his grandfather. The castle looked like a strange place to live. To me, the set seemed cheesy. Ian Grant Thompson. Age 5.

Great Saw
|
This is a very nice saw for the price the fit and finish is first class it has plenty of power the guides are nice and are easy to adjust This saw is far better then my 14 inch delta grand addition band saw. the only complaints I have which is kind of a big one is the cheap trunion they should have made a castiron trunion so the table was stiffer and the little table on the side is useless as far as I am concerned the fence is also to heavy if you ask me but this is a great saw and I'm glad to have it in my shop

Ho Hum

This is the third book I've read by Hornby and the one I liked the least. I thought it was mildly interesting, but most of the time I was turning pages and sighing with impatience. I didn't believe it. The characters were thin. If you or I wrote a book of this caliber, we'd probably sell about three books, and the reviews would be glum. He has insight, but the story just didn't go deep enough, and I think it was glib. I'll bet he wrote in in about two weeks.Disappointing.

Never-ending melodies.
|
Does Roine Stolt ever run out of melodies? This guy seems to put out quality stuff at a non-stop pace. This one is side project from the Flower King leader. It is all instrumental and features Roine, sometimes FK saxaphonist Ulf Wallander and FK drummer Jaime Salazar.It is a bit sparser than FK releases as there are no Tomas Bodin keys (although Roine plays keys on a few of the tracks). The melodies are beautiful with one or two rockers also included. At times the soprano sax is a little too close to Kenny G for me, but it is usually a nice addition to the sound. Jaime Salazar really stands out on this one as he has a bit more space to fill and does so tastefully. More great stuff from the "Kings" of European prog.

Two excellent cases with source codes
|
This book keeps its promise that readers get better off by practice-based training. This book provides three big project cases. For the beginners, the first two cases are detailed enough to know most of VB. These two cases are also so tightly related each other that readers can feel smooth development in progress. However, the code programs of the second project seem to contain some lines missing or bug. Besides, you may need extra-refences to know about the connection between VB and MS Office (Excel & MS Word).

A snake oil salesman

Swoboda was nothing more than a con man. The AMA medical journal exposed him for the huckster that he was. His disciples were made to believe that they could regenerate lost limbs through sheer NERVE FORCE. He has a small cult like following today from a mentally weak group. Don't waste your time or money on this hocus pocus nonsense.

documentary? about what? 1969?
|
I buy almost anything as long its not mainstream and hoped to learn about Australian cinema. Big mistake. Most of the time we see actors sitting in comfortable chairs and talking about movies and, yes, once in a while clips size 10 seconds moving along. Boring and most annoying was the fact they been talking about Australia some 40 years ago and as I am not historian writing thesis it makes no sense at all. The only thing I learned from long talking they dont have freedom of speech either and not happy about it. Sure, whatever.

Well - this is a darling toy...my corgi, however, is not that thrilled with it....he doesn't get the concept of taking the chipmunk-cross-squirrel out of the stump. He just shoves his nose in the middle hole to retrieve the cookie.Corgi gives it a 2 star rating, I give it a 2 -more star rating because it is a clever looking toy!

good uml & oop intro
|
This book is a good intro to the object features of Visual Basic 6.0 and a good intro to UML Notation as well. The book illustrates various kinds of UML diagrams using Visual Modeler and Rational Rose, which are in many cases quite similar. Gives lots of attention to the structured analysis/design phases of building an app, and some discussion of component-based application development. Book has lots of diagrams and an appendix with a web-enabled sample application which has example of implementing OOP techniques using VB.

Disappointing book
|
I read this book with the high hopes of really understanding what the dead have to say about the important things we must deal with here, but all this book brings is just more conveniently edited readings. The readings seem wonderful, but when I saw Mr. Edward in a seminar in Las Vegas, it was nothing close to the perfect readings in the book. It left me so disappointed.

Disappointing
|
I have read about Charlotte and Maximillian as peripheral figures in many other books and was looking forward to a book about them alone. Boy, was I disappointed. This is a fan letter to the royal couple, who in all other accounts were spoiled and difficult. There are no photos or other illustrations, no genealogical tables to help sort out the relatives, and worst of all, no index, footnotes, or references. A high school student could do a better job. I am still not entirely sure if this is fiction or non fiction, the author seems to operate half on conjecture and the other on wishful thinking!
