Easily put.... It rules
|
Hold on a second. You recommend Stitch?! That game is worse than watching Bob the Builder for 5 hours, no offense im not trying to kick anyone's backside thats just what I feel. If you enjoy playing good games, get this one. It's one of the best games I've played for PS2. Its very similar to the cartoon except more exciting. If you enjoy platform games get this. Theres nothing bad I can find about it. Its flawless. And they make every little detail exactly like the cartoon. It brings back memories of waking up on Saturday and running to the TV to watch the Saturday Morning Schedule lineup. Yep, the good ol' days. The storyline is great and actually makes sense, unlike some other games that don't have purpose for doing certain parts. Its every bit worth this review. It one of my favorite PS2 games out of 19. Don't waste your money on boring games. Get this game.

Hepatitis C cook book. Yummy for the tummy
|
I hear alot about hep c but never what is good to eat if you are living with this disease. This cook book was informative with very easy to make meals. Format was easy to follow. Good meals that were easy and not expensive.I think it is a cook book that everyone could use. I am also diabetic and most of the meals were very good for that as well. The meals were also not blah:(. Tasted great {:.Tops up to this book. The cook book was great price to. If you are concerned about the disease or have other ailments this book is for you. The rest of my family liked the food so that was even better. One and only comment that is not favorable is not enough low cal desserts. That is why 4 outta 5.

Give it time
|
Vangelis always produces music that represents a certain atmosphere and place. He does this by taking certain musical styles, sounds, whatever and moulding them with his unique, sonic signature. This is what makes his "SOUND". It is futile to compare one album to another with Vangelis' music. With the "City" Vangelis conjours up an aural tapestry of urban, city dreamscapes. Remember, this is Vangelis and not the Jam! There are no hard edged political statements here!On a shallow level the music is of a very ambient and sort of a late night jazz pastiche. It is very soundtrack orientated as you would expect but it doesn't carry any of the old, analogue syntheziser passages of old. It has a cold feel, very digital and sampled. This does, however, lend itself beautifully to the feel of the whole album. Give it time and you will see.

Better Than The Hobbit
|
I am a very hard core fantasy/sci-fi book reader. I have read many books that are out there. Most people I talked to would agree that "The Hobbit" set a standard in fantasy writting. However, most people still agreed with me after reading "Villains By Necessity". This book has many exciting features. It has to be the best ever fantasy book. The story it tells is one that, most people would agree with, should happen in a fantasy story. With everything that gets said about fantasy. The winning of one side, good or evil, never gets told. That has changed with this book. I believe in the future this will become the book that replaces "The Hobbit", and many others as "The Classic".

Two Times Disappointed
|
Well after reading the great reviews, I wanted to try this product. I ordered and paid almost $18 for the one day shipping. I received item...no whitening gel was inside box. Frustrating!! I contacted Amazon...they said they would send a replacement...next day. Great!! I received a new kit. No whitening gel. I contact yet again to say 'can you please just send me a COMPLETE kit or the gel?' and they said "sorry, this is a widespread problem and we are not able to resend another" but they are going to credit my account and said to just throw the other two shipments out. So if you're going to order this product, make sure you contact them first to see that this problem has been taken care of or you'll wind up with something you can't use!

This is an amazing musical! Definitely one of my favorites!
|
I am completely obssessed with this movie! I've only known of it for less than a few months, and yet I've watched it so many times I know the dance moves off by heart. It is a movie that is so easy to get into! Immediately you begin to see the genius behind it that makes you decide who are your favorite characters and favorite parts! Some people may think that a bunch of people trying out for a Chorus Line may not be such a great plot, but this movie pulls it off with such style and charm you immediately love it! The musical numbers are great! The dancing is ... undescribable! It is truly one of the best examples I've seen of transferring a musical to video. (Or was it video to musical?)I have seen both : stage and video, and I have to say it is truly one of the most inspiring musicals I've ever seen! It is a musical with a heart.

Extreme
|
This was an extreme cd. Very personal, however very capturing. Her voice is different from other artists, it is more harsh and not sweet. I'm tired of ..all those sweet sounding phonies. I highly recommend this cd to anyone. My favorite song is "You oughta know", I listened to it a million times. I didn't like "perfect" although i did detect sarcasm in it, it was depressing.(Actually, it [was terrible]) But everything else was very good. I really like the way everything blends together, her vocals and the instruments. I think that Alanis Morissette kicks a** with the feminine lyrics. I tired of "I luv you baby no matter what" Finally, some real life situation. Its sad, but men are NOT always perfect. Im not saying I don't like men/boys, (in fact, I like them a lot) but I like variety.

Works well
|
I got two of these; one each for the car and motorcycle. I've used the other type of plugs and hate when I push the plug all the way in. That will not happen with this kit. Used once to help an elderly couple fix a flat on the road. It worked well. Don't know the longevity of the fix since I haven't used on my own vehicle, but the concept seems to be a good one. Make sure you have a pair of pliers to set the plug. A cheap pair will do just fine. You can also use them to pull any nails or screws from the tire when needed. Just throw them in the carrying case the kit comes in. The carrying case is great and heavy duty.I enjoyed using the plug gun, but from the video I guess the plug handle kit will work just as well. Oh, there are two kits available. One with the plug gun and one with a plug handle. They both do the same thing, but as I said before the plug gun seems easier.Stop N Go International has a video showing how to use their kits.

I regret buying the US version
|
Oprah? Really? This is an insult! The only redemption for this version is to choose audio 2 -no narration.I was so excited when I first inserted the first Blu-Ray disc. The majesty of nature in full High-Definition in my living room. It was magnificent in it's full 1080p glory, until the narration commenced. It sounded like Oprah so I looked at the case and indeed it was her. I said to myself maybe she'll be good at it since she did have a very successful talk show where all she did was talk. Oh no, oh no, oh no, no, no, no, no. She should have kept her day job. It's ruined. I wouldn't dare donate it to Goodwill and make someone experience the same deceptive expectation.I hate it so much that I made this emphatic and overly dramatic review for the very first time, in hopes to nudge would-be expecting consumers.I just have to suffer the consequences of my poor deceived decision. Cue in the violins.

I wish I could give this no stars.

I haven't read this book but I'm not going to waste my money on some ignorant literary work. I am a practicing Wiccan and have been for ten years. I fail to see how we, Wiccans/Pagans, could worship a being that is not of our beliefs. We do NOT believe in a being even like Satan really. Satan is creation of Christianity. Now, mind you, Paganism has been around MUCH longer than Christianity! Wicca is just a branch of Paganism just like Catholicism is a branch of Christianity. It's amazing how some people will be so quick to judge and make that judgment based off of ignorance. I have read the bible and I have also noticed that that's more than most Christians do. Instead blind faith is much easier to manage therefore; this doesn't surprise me in the least. Although, I could have sworn that people may be judged upon 'God' and no other in Christianity. But then again, what would a Wiccan know...

Watch out for deceptive advertising
|
Revitol Hair Removal cream is a very poor product with an even poorer company behind it. Please do not fall for the deceptive advertising as I did. The promotions for this product guarantee a money back promise if you are not happy with the results. What they do not disclose is that the handling fee they charge for a returned produced is $10.00 per bottle. I have searched through many sites on this product and find the same deceptive advertising. Upon trying to work with the complany, I have found that they do not back up their product. My product came with a broken bottle of lotion and the other bottles of lotion were crystallized. The company would still not refund my money without charging the $10.00 fee. Please, save yourself the problems that I have had. This product does not work. Hair removal products from the stores are simply better and they have a much better return policy!

excellent product
|
When i first opened the box after getting it, i was very skeptical. It looked like it would fly away after a normal turn. Lo and behold i have been using it for a month and it is a great investment. I can easily take it from car to car. You cannot do that with the mount that comes with Garmin products. It basically stands on the top of your dash like a table lamp. If you want to move it, just pickup and go. The intial setup takes just 30 seconds at best. Snap it in place and it's ready. If garmin wants some highly satisfied customers, they would make this the standard accesory that comes with their GPS units. I would recommend it very much to everybody.

Works Just Fine, Long Lasting, Good Value!
|
This is my second coffee grinder by Cuisinart. I have a previous one that fell from the counter and cracked the lid. That model has lasted for at least three years without any problem. Since I am satisfied with this model I bought another replacement.The space for the coffee beans is limited. If you are going to make a full pot of coffee you will have to grind 2 or 3 loads. For the 6 cups of coffee I brew in the morning I only need to grind two full loads of coffee beans. If you don't overload the coffee beans it works fine. I recommend finding measuring cup. Once you grind the beans it is good to shake the grinder to get all of the beans ground. If you do this you get perfectly ground coffee.The cord of the grinder is about 18". It's a little shorter than their previous model but manageable. Compared to a Mr. Coffee grinders whose motors kept burning out I would definitely recommend this model.

Perfect for the price.....
|
I bought this product primarily for my 9-year old's use in the car on those long trips. However, the unit is so good, that we use it a lot more often. There are many reviews here, so I won't go into much detail. I just want to say that I am extremely happy I purchased this device. It was delivered quickly, and the packaging was good. The battery charged in less than 5 hours, rather than the stated 6. Everything you need is included. It works great in the car, out by the pool, in the house, everywhere. I would have given 5 stars, but the external speakers are pretty tinny, even when using the built in equalizer. Use the headphones...it will sound better than at the movie theater. Additionally, although the picture quality is very, very good, it is not perfect. Pixels are visible at times, but not to the point of distraction. However, for the price, I don't think this unit can be beat. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for such a product.

On...and on....and ON...

This book lies halfway completed on my friend's dresser. I can't bear to pick it up again.It starts out fairly interesting, with lots of quirky characters and intriguing plot lines. That's for the first 300 pages. That, in my opinion, could have been the whole book. However, it continues for over 400 more pages, with the same people, getting more and more complicated with each turn of the page. To be honest, I simply got lost. I couldn't remember who dated whom, who hated whom, and who...Oh, forget it.Now, I read books, I read lots of books...And I got lost. I gave up, around page 450. But, I tend to read books that have a few base characters whose lives are built upon chapter by chapter. This book does that, tenfold. If you think you can keep up and stay interested, go for it. It IS well written and interesting, it just seemed like I'd have to start taking notes as I read. No, thank you.

Keurig B60 Special Edition Brewing System

I like the concept, but the execution leaves a lot to be desired. When these things work, they're great. Unfortunately, I've purchased several of these for myself as well as for gifts. In almost every case, the units develop problems within months. They leak, they no longer heat water, they refuse to power up.I am a horrible consumer. What I mean is that I almost never return anything - no matter how bad it is. But I came close with these. I even purchased a more expensive model. Didn't matter - same problems. I have one leaking on my countertop now.If you Google these, you will find many folks complaining and even a few that offer videos for the more common problems. I just want the things to work. My $25 Mr. Coffee is over a dozen years old and it works all the time, every time.Like I said, love the concept. But I would suggest you shop around for either a newer model or choose something else entirely.

I had to write a few words. Every now and then I hit upon an author that pulls and pushes at your heart. I listen to dozens of audio books every month driving to and from work. This story was so very well written. It has real life in it. It has passion, love, danger, devotion, understanding, pain - it has it all. It is a must read/listen for historical and just plain enjoyment reasons. (The plot is in the description.) I must now seek out other books by this author. If you want to fill moments of your life with a treasure include this story. dorothy

Great Book Okay Ending
|
This is an awesome book by Pfeffer! It is a great book that I read when I was 10 years old and loved. It is probably meant for kids older than 10, but it is great! Micheal disappears and the family is torn apart. The mother takes it out on her daughters, and they turn against their mom. It is a wonderfully written book but the ending leaves you hanging. You never know what happens to Micheal, and you feel so upset. Why don't we find out what happened? The book leaves you with a powerful feeling for days. I would prefer closure. But the meaning is so much stronger and sticks with you after the end. I wish there was a sequal, but in real life you don't always find out what happened to missing people, so it is very realistic.

If you've never tried a Skintimate Shaving Gel, ...
|
If you've never tried a Skintimate Shaving Gel, then this is the one to try. I've tried other shaving creams but nothing compares to this one. First of all, the smell is YUMMY! It leaves my skin feeling and smelling fresh, like fresh peaches. The smell even lingers on my legs when I'm through. It doesn't leave my legs feeling dry like some shaving creams. It has eight skin conditioners and vitamins E and B. They've improved the can also. It's very easy to spray out -- not messy like the old can. The opening is small and all you need is a tiny amount and VOILA -- it magically becomes a heap of lavish foam. This product will awaken your senses and make you look forward (or smell forward) to shaving!!

This movie had no substance
|
sure it was a complete rip off of alien. sure it had no real storyline original to itself. I mean come on they were stranded on a planet with these creatures that looked like BATS! Alien Scared me. this movie made me toss and turn in my seat FROM BOREDOM. this was one of the worst movies of 2000. if you want a better version of this movie i must suggest Ridley Scott's Alien or James Cameron's Aliens. these movies are far superior and scarier. Pitch Black leaves you at the end like you are in complete darkness because their plot and substance goes nowhere. Special effects are just like every other movie. good but no substance. ...

dismal-SO dismal

I refused to watch this when it was at the theatres only because I have the uncanny ability to know when a movie is a dud or not just by watching the trailers. I decided to watch it last night and I was NOT disappointed. I was right again! This movie is so lacking in the WoW department. Depp has no depth, Jolie is plastic. The only thumbs up I give is to Bettany, Dalton and Sewell. This movie did absolutely nothing for either Depp or Jolie. They both must have been bored and needed a project to work on OR someone must have thrown a LOT of money their way to film such tripe. The writing was ridiculous and SHAME on the shills who post 5 star ratings for this movie. All they are doing is stealing from "the people" by making us believe (well some of us) that this movie is worth spending your money on. SHAME SHAME SHAME.

Big dissappointment
|
I wanted to love this phone... it looked great and had many slick features such as turning the ring down in the evening and custom rings for known callers. But, static, crackle, and a very short range make this phone virtually unusable. I had bought a base and 2 extension phones. These phones were expensive and would have been worth it if they worked as advertised. But, sound quality is a joke. Thank goodness I kept the receipts. I used to think that the Motorola name meant quality when it came to communication equipment. Obviously, they're not above using their name to soak you on a half baked product now and then. I can't wait to take them back... When the manager asks, "Why are you returning them?" I'm going to ask, "Why are you selling them?"

Maybe change isn't always a good thing. . .
|
I must say I was feeling the first album, "Can't Take me Home" however, maybe she flipped the script a little too much too soon with this second go'round. Don't get me wrong, I really like Pink, just the old Pink. I don't know the reason behind the change but perhaps there is a lesson to be learned: Change isn't always a good thing. There are some tracks that are enjoyable on the album but the first album I could listen the whole way through and like every track. Not this time. If you are an R&B fan, this really isn't that type of album. Maybe she'll go back to the original her on the next one. The only change I like was her look. She looks really good. She seems undecided on what music category she wants to be in. The title suits the album, because I sure "Missundaztood" what she was about. Come on Pink, you had a good thing going, don't mess it up now!

Come on up.....I did just that!!!!!

This man is no joke! With each outing he gets funkier and funkier. I am a huge fan...so I may be biased. I popped the cd in my car and actually sat in front of my house shaking my head in disbelief. It's hard to go wrong with backing from such notables as the one and only Marcus Miller, Norman Brown, Tony Maiden...I'm old enough to remember when he played with Rufus featuring Chaka Khan. He didn't open the gate politely begging for us to pay attention. He jumped out the gate! It's a nice mix and one that will be in rotation for many days to come. I was really very pleasantly surprised that he chose to remake Serpentine Fire. I appreciate the fact that he takes his craft seriously and is always at the top of his game. Come On Up. It's a party you won't soon forget!

Whaaaa
|
I went into the bookstore to give this book to my wife. Then I started to read it. I think I broke out in hives. I'm not kidding! In fact, maybe that's what her next book should be about - men who break out in hives after reading this turkey. My wife and I talk about age all the time and you know what, its a fact of life. People get old and as we get older our bodies change. Why would I want my wife to have her private area restored to when she was 20???? That sounds like something out of a horror film. Here's the book that should be written, "We Get Old, and you know what, its Ok." If Random House or the author is interested in that, please drop me a line. As far as this book goes, I'd save the money and invest in google's stock...

wow. this is what you call good writing?

wow. after reading all the positively GUSHING reviews of Magical Thinking, i rushed out to borrow my friend's copy. SOOO glad i didn't waste money on it! Second rate Sedaris indeed, without the the wit, humor or ability to craft a sentence. so where are all these FANTABULOUS REVIEWS COMING FROM? i don't know... maybe AB himself? (he was in advertising, afterall). especially the reviews where he compares himself to Dave Eggers and Jeffrey Eugenides. ha! who are you fooling? save your money folks. read a real author.

I LOVE RICH GIRLS
|
I loved Rich Girls on MTV with Ally Hilfiger and Jamie Gleicher. I actually met Jamie and I will tell you that no matter what you hear, she is SUCH A SWEET person. She even left me a voicemail and gave me an autograph. She told me that her and Ally are still Best Friends and not to believe what you read in the magazines. But I do think that people should buy this DVD, it is a great show and the theme song is so catchy!! haha I would also recommend POPULAR season 1!! GREAT SHOW also, Rich Girls, Friends and Popular are the best shows. ANYWAY rich girls is great and you will love the show. Even though they are Rich they are such nice people! Enjoy. Thanks amazon.com for putting out such great STUFF!!!

Love the design
|
Just bought this fan a few weeks ago. I simply love the design. It's also such a nice space saver. The breeze feels so natural compared to a regular fan. This model is nice and quiet. I can barely tell that it's on. The only draw back that I have with this model is that it isn't height adjustable. While the air it blows out is nice, when sitting it barely catches your face. A major draw back especially if you are a tall person. I have to prop it up on top of something on those really hot days just so it will cool my face. All that being said I really like this tower fan. I don't know if it's right for everybody.

A most amazing journey with an elloqent guide
|
Honestly, when I worked in Culver City, I would drive by the Museum of Jurassic Technology and wonder just what was in there. I read the articles in the L.A. Times and still I could not understand what it was about. And even when I finally got to the museum, I was mystified. What was the connection? What was it all about? Finally, I have my answer. And more. This book was a superlative read. Mr Weschler never flags in his focus and his precision of language and yet doesn't overwhelm his subject matter. It would be so easy to try and write a fictional story about the museum as opposed to trying to distill and tell the real story. It is very slippery! You will not be dissappointed in this book. And you don't have to go to the museum to enjoy it. But if you read the book, you will be COMPELLED to visit the museum.

Died in less than three months
|
I'll keep this review brief. While it worked, this was a great monitor. Really nice picture, fast refresh, no ghosting -- exactly what you'd want in a big screen LCD. Then, after about three months, the whole screen started turning white. Switch off monitor and then switch back on. It worked fine for about twenty minutes, then screen turned all white. Now it does it within five minutes of being switched on. Guaranteed, every time.Talked to Hanns.G. Need to ship it back, on my dime. So, if I want them to take a look at it, I have to pay $50 (must insure it apparently) to ship it to them. With no guarantee that they'll even fix it.Other people have complained about the screen turning white issue. It seems that it might be a not uncommon problem. My monitor was manufactured in August 2007, even though I bought it in August 2008. Maybe it was a bad batch.Anyway, I bought a 30inch Samsung monitor instead. And I absolutely love it.

Good clippers, but throw away the scissors
|
I have used these clippers four times, and I'm very happy with them. They cut hair nice and easily to the desired length. There are a comb attachments ranging from #1 to #8. As far as I can tell the # is the number of 1/8's of an inch that your hair will be cut. I've used the #2 and #3, and both work great. The scissors included in this kit should not go near anyone's hair. They are cheap and flimsy, but I didn't buy the kit for the scissors. The instructional video is hilarious. The haircuts they show are pretty bad. I was a bit worried because I thought my hair would look like the some of the cuts in the video. Fortunately mine turned out looking great.

Interesting Music
|
I have only heard of these guys but never actually heard them until I bought this album. As soon as the first song started, I go "Oh crap, not another hardcore band." I just don't like that shouting singing style, at least done with such good music. There are other places the vocals are not so bad. Sometimes they kind of touch on the "alternative" vibe which I don't like either, but in other places not so much.What I really like is the varied music. It is quite interesting with lots of twists and turns. I read another review where the guy says the band basically cut and pasted this album together in the studio. Maybe so, but they did a pretty good job of it. They are all competent musicians and if I was not mistaken, I actually heard a decent guitar solo in there! It seems many of the new bands are anti-guitar solo but these guys don't shy away from it. Kudos for that.This is adventurous metal and I really like it, all except for the vocals. Recommended.

great - but cup holders too small
|
I bought the InStep safari Swivel Jogging Stroller in chocolate/blue - looks great! I bought it on the recommendation of a friend with 3 little ones and based on other reviews. The stroller is great - smooth ride, lots of room. My 2-year-old daughter seems very comfortable in it. The only problem is the size of the cup holders. They are not big enough to accomodate most water bottles. I can fit a small, 16 oz. narrow bottle and that is about it. I cannot understand why a company would overlook such a thing, especially since they were thoughtful about everything else. This is the reason I give it only 4 stars - if the cup holders were bigger it would definitely be worthy of 5 stars. Not really a big deal because I store my larger water bottle in the pouch located under the tray.I would most definitely recommend this product! And of course Amazon is awesome!

I hate this printer. Plain and simple this is a turd. a $[...] piece of crap.Yes..like many others I too have had endless paper problems. I CANNOT get the paper to feed properly. Even after following advice here.ok..so my 3-in-1 printer is now only a 2-in-1. I long since put this piece of crap in the closet only to now need it's scanning abilities. So I pull out my HP 3210 printer. Go to HP and download the correct drivers..plug it in and hope to start some scanning with my 3-1..*cough*...no 2-1 HP.Guess what? Drivers lock up system. HP application locks up and repeatedly crashes. CNTL-ALT-DEL wont even work while this HP crap is on my computer. 5 trys..5 reboots..I give up. I deleted the HP crap software and Windows XP system is running perfectly again.I hate this HP 3210 printer. I detest it. I hate the HP software. I want to take this piece of junk to the shooting range and go crazy like in the movie "Office Space".

I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this!!! I have tried the clinical strength deodorants and just about anything to try and stop this excessive sweating. I just kept thinking, I'm a freaking girl, why am I sweating like a man?!?! And it was just embarrassing. I hated it. All year around I would wear a hoodie or a jacket, even in the hottest days of summer... It was terrible. I could never take it off because then you would see how sweaty I was. Then I found CertainDri. Seriously people, this changed my life! There is sweat no more! I can finally wear my favorite shirts without a hoodie or jacket over it! I LOVE IT!!! THANKS ALOT!!! =)

The ultimate love
|
I acknowledge the objectiveness that people can have to say that this story is not a love story. It addresses so many things that are not love, but they are all contingent on it. "Waking the Dead" is one of the greatest love stories I have ever seen, and I have seen many. I have never seen two actors, Crudup and Connelly, so entirely enveloped in each other. They played off of each pther amazingly. With respect to the story, I feel that it speaks of the kind of love that many of us can only dream. That one love that loves us despite our conflicting ideals, ideas, and desires. The final scene of the movie is probably what haunted me the most. Crudup pleading for reasons. Reasons for why his love had to leave him, and leave him the way she did. It also inspired me. It showed me that with the kind of love that they shared, life can go on.

Beautiful Voice!!
|
Vivian Green's voice is clear, beautiful and strong. The material is very real and romanticly poetic. For those who need a comparison, let's just say that it is very similiar to Chante Moore earlier days. She should be talked about more than some of the artist today. It's sad that this beautiful voice is not being heard right! Do yaw hear me!! She needs to be done right! So enough said, go and get her today, you won't be disappointed. To Vivian record label, please do better and promote her right! These artist put so much into there work! Peace to all.

Greatness through name recognition
|
I'm sorry, but this film did not live up to the hype. The special effects were plentiful in this movie, but I guess paying Tom Cruise ate into the budget a little bit because the CGI was sub-par.The name of the film is probably the most ludicrous part. There is no mention of a "Minority Report" until half-way through the film. By the time it is mentioned, it isn't twenty minutes until you find out that there is no "minority report". So the title has no bearing on the film to begin with.This is a movie which owes it's success and hype to 1 thing...names. Tom Cruise, I mean come on. Who doesn't want to see a Tom Cruse movie? Well, not me anymore. And then there is Steven Speilberg...the man behind that lovable E.T....can't seem to churn out anything lately that is worth a hoot. This is truely a film on par with A.I.......hey, "A.I", "E.T", perhaps this should be called "M.R." for the director's cut.Save your money. If you must see it, wait for HBO.

Very disappointing and sick...
|
The first novel in this series was really good, but however this novel was disappointing and if I can get my money back I will! This book had some pretty sick stuff in it i.e. the girls in diapers, the coffins, etc. VCA books has always had some sick incestous type stuff, but this is beyond that! Also, this book just seems to drag on and on! I mean nothing really happens other than the Doctor and the three "buddies" torturing the girls until the end. I felt sorry for "Posy" , and also the book was never clear on what happens to Mindy in the end. Another problem I had with the ending of this book and the other miniseries with the exception of the Wildflowers series, is that most of the girls seem to have their pipe dreams come true at the end. I mean come on Robin suddenly becomes a singer, and Phobe suddenly gets to become a model and actress?? Get real! This is truly my last VCA's novel!

THEY SHOOT WRITERS DON'T THEY?
|
The film starts in 1978, In NYC the numbers racket is going out of business because the state is starting a lottery. Down on his luck, numbers runner Clyde Coltrane (Glenn Plummer) gets a call from LA. His friend Roscoe (Anthony Johnson) is in trouble. Clyde joins Roscoe who owns a restaurant and the mafia some money. Clyde plans to make the restaurant profitable and bail out Roscoe, however the only thing they have is chicken and flour.The humor is worse than juvenile. For instance a blind black man is given the name "Eyeballs" (Kristian Bernard). He believes he is an Italian. Another barrel of laughs is a customer in the restaurant who stutters. The hired help talk about women as if they are Cheech Marin. I didn't laugh while this comedy was playing. The jokes didn't work. Not even a good spoof of African-American film.Parental Guide: No f-bombs, sex, or nudity. Woman in bra. Sex talk.

Do Not Buy
|
First of all, they advertised 2-day delivery, and it took almost a week. I was totally disapointed with this purchase. It did not blow hot air, just luke warm, and it only operated when the button was turned to "HIGH". All past tnat counter-clock wise was completely, dead, the fan did not even attempt to oscillate. Besides that, it was advertised as a $77 dollar something for $29 something, which is why I bought it, and thought that I was getting a good deal, with good heat for my office. That is a negative. Quite a disapointment, and by the way it has the audacity to have two power strenghths, 750w and 1500w, and operates more like 10w and 15w,and that is pushing it. Totally disappointed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then, have the nerve to call it a utility heater. I am in the Market for a good heater for my office. I think i will check out Lowes or Walmart, rather than fool with Amazon.com

Off the mark, cheaply done
|
Okay my 2.5 year old loves trains. But he doesn't just love pictures of trains, he loves the sounds- the chuffing, the whistles, the clackety-clack. He loves to study a scene before it cuts to the the next. I had to give this video a low rating because all it has is train scenes set to music. Hardly any train sounds and the scenes cut much to quickly for an interested child to digest. The whole video is smothered in this uppity folk music which is horribly repetitive. My son gave this a mild reaction and really hasn't asked to see it again much, which is remarkable. Now that being said, I finally got "Choo-Choo Trains Up Close...". That one is by far his favorite video in his entire library. Ahead of Elmos and Barneys he just loves the visuals and sounds. As I indicated in my review of "Choo.." it is obvious much more effort went into "Choo.." than in "Lots..".

Good Recorder for recording lectures ...
|
I wanted a recorder which could record 2 hours lectures. I have looked and looked. A good recorder is very expensive. This one fits my budget, and the sound is much more clear than my old Plansonic digital rcorder. I got it from Office Max. I have tried for several lectures. They served the purposes right. The sound quality is clear enough for me to write down notes even though it is not stereo. It is the only recorder that is under 100 bucks that can do a decent recording. This is not the recorder for recording music, though. If you need a recorder to record lectures, go for this one. I am very happy for the quality, easy to use, and the amount of money that I spent. However, there is a design flaw. If you hit the record key while you actually want to hit the pause key that next to it, your original recording is gone. They call it overwrite feature. But, it is stupid to have the record key next to the pause key.

Pleasantly surprised!
|
Received the chest in 12 days, just as promised. We took everything apart and checked each piece to note any damage. Out of all the pieces there is one minor scratch that will not be noticed unless you take a magnifying glass to the piece. Overall very pleased with the quality. There is alot of solid wood along with the manufactured stuff. Not much diffrent than the same dressers you will find at Babies R Us. Unless you go to the very high end solid wood furniture that would cost well over 3 times this price it is a very good value. Checked all the nuts and bolts. Everything is there. If you want a decent looking nursery piece that will function for you after baby is older you would be hard pressed to find something less expensive with better quality. We received the matching hutch which was in good condition also. As far as the size of the changing pad, Target has one that is 30" long. It seems to fit this chest.

My Political Bible
|
This book, written by my best friend Art Franklin, has been very helpful to me. During my campaign to become the Governor of California, I have met many liars. Before I started, I had no friends. Now everyone wants to be my friend, even my enemies. Clint Eastwood wants to be my friend and so does Sylvester Stallone. And Jerry Springer. He keeps calling me at 2 in the morning asking if I want to go get a drink and a couple of broads. I always say no and give him Bill Clinton's number. I admire Bill Clinton. He lied but then he confessed. That took guts. Then he confessed that his confession was a lie. That took guts too. I give my constituents in California this solemn promise; I will never lie. And when I do, I will confess. Teddy Kennedy once told me that the truth will set you free. Tell that to Nelson Mandela.

Why did it say R rated?
|
The mainly reason I put only one star, it shouldn't be saying "R" rated when there too much of nudity and a child would say thing to daddy "your p_en-- ..." go figure! Yea!!! he does let daughter see him naked but what is that? It is really tacky. I consider it as a child abusive or incent. She aint even a baby.There also a young man shows how he mastubrates twice and few sex goes on. I really don't pay attention later on, because it is just so senseless with a lot mature things going on.It should be in XXX or something. It aint something you would want watching around kids, It definetly aint a romantic movie. Its scene only happens for a few mins then profanity/sex such as nudity goiing on longer. It happen over again after normal scene. So don't watch aroung anyone that is uncomformatble w/ nudity. You never know when it may pop up.

Cast Iron!
|
I received this set for Christmas last year as a gift. I absolutely love it! My mom always had a cast iron skillet to cook with when I was growing up and I decided I wanted one too. I have made all kind of recipes in mine. I have used it on the grill, in the oven and on the stove. I did have minor stick a couple times, but that was because I left it on the grill too long. I scraped it and seasoned it a little more and kept going. I really like the quality and the fact that Lodge is the only cast iron manufacturer still making them in the USA. I recommend a good stiff brush to clean them with. Most of the time though I just use warm water and my hand. Season with oil after ever use and this set should give more than a lifetime of use.

AWFUL
|
Paladin Press prints some good titles, but this is NOT one of them. I was expecting a detailed study of a handgun that has had an amazing history. Instead Boatman is light on hard detail and likes to stuff the book with his own bizarre editorializing and fringe political views. It is blatantly irrational stuff, scary really. Evidently Boatman styles himself a hard tough guy, but in my experience real tough guys don't need to prove it. Any goomba can squeeze a trigger, Boatman.Cooper and the Weaver crowd are openly worshipped, and any alternate schools of pistolcraft are derided. Pretty sad, given that Delta and SAS use instinctive shooting, not Weaver. I guess Boatman never got told that by anyone.Avoid this junk at all costs. I regret that I spent even one dollar on this CRAP. There are many better books out there on the 1911. I am not sure that there are any worse than this. It could have been writen in an afternoon. Awful.

CRAP
|
If you like bugs, glitches and spending your time reading tech forums at UBI, buy this game, and the original Ghost Recon. Some people have no problems, but many do. Unfortuantely I am one of them. I have a Pentium III 1.1 GHZ 256 mb ram and windows MEwith a GeForce 2 MX 400 64 mb vid card, and I experience a bunch of bugs, even after patching. Personally, I think this game needed a few more months in development. If you enjoy Operation Flashpoint, RTCW, Medal of Honor, DONT buy this game or the original. The graphics are a notch above Delta Force 2, and for some unknown reason the developers decide not to show your characters hands or weapon in your view. So basically, you have a little reticule to aim around and you have to imagine or guess where you are standing. LAME. Realistic? I dont think so... last time I checked, I could see my own hands in real life...save your hard earned duckets for a real game...

Blow, blew, BLOWN

Ugly, ugly, UGLY! A sorry apology for the cracking good writer Ms Cornwell used to be. Graphic descriptions of low butchery, shot'em-all-on-the-spot show downs and improbable resurrections are not the stuff I like to find in a good thriller. Besides, I feel I'm quite fed up with serial killers. Why do they kill? Because they're mad, of course. Wow! Shocking! I'd rather have your old fashioned butler any time... And what the hell happened to spunky, self assured, self reliant, rational Doctor Kay Scarpetta? Who is this pathetic looser stumbling around with no rational purpose, this pale wraith of her former robust self?And why on earth should a brilliant, beautiful, smart girl like Lucy waste her life away ad a dumb gunwoman? And what is this fascination with self made judgement and execution on the spot?Get yourself together, Ms Cornwall. I used to love your novels, but now I feel very disappointed.

Pitiful tales of Pretentious Rich People
|
What a pitiful story. Suzy is a pretentious snob who pats herself on the back constantly throughout this book. She describes everything in agonizing detail so we will be aware of her impeccable taste. Her listing of all her designer items is tiring. She is the sterotype of a "stick-your-head-in-the-sand" pressed skirt lady that ignores everything around her except keeping up her wealthy appearances. After a few chapters, I didn't believe a word she said.....I think she wrote a fairy tale. Her husband sounds like a huge jerk. Reading this book, I feel deeply sorry for their two sons, and I think these two nutcases deserve each other. I bet they are the laughingstock of the country club set. Don't buy this book. They don't need another seaside condo in Flordia from your book money.

Don't buy this product
|
I would NOT recommend this product. I had the base for about 5 years. The tone on the keypad never worked right. I got a second telephone line so I ordered an additional handset. It worked for about 2 weeks.I registed the handset with the base ok. I then decided to swith the phone to the other telephone line. The base handset worked ok, but now the additional one I just bought 2 weeks ago does nothing. It just sits there saying "Connecting ...". I de registered the original handset ok and re registered it, but nothing on the new handset.I tried everything. I even brought into the AT&T; store which said there is nothing they could or would do. I called the 800 number [...] and there response is that they no longer support this phone.If you don't support it why do you still SELL it. Shame on you AT&T.; this is my last phone from you.Shame on you Amazon for even selling it. I hope you take it off your website

Average singer - Great songs
|
Neil Young has a nasal, sometimes annoying voice. His saving grace is that he writes great songs. This album has several, centred firmly on the Canadian prairie. The style is country rock - tending to the softer end of the spectrum but the lyrics are perceptive, sometimes whimsical and longing, often biting. For example, he describes the joyous scene of a wedding in a church he's previously described as "the fallen soldier bell". There are elements of nostalgia and undercurrents of bitterness ("Somewhere a senator sits in a leather chair ... He takes his money just like all the rest."). There's sweetness and love for both people present and those past. There are many lovely pictures in words.The more I've played this, the more I like it. I have a few albums that I simply can't put away. This is one.

Love it
|
This is one of the worst movies I have seen this year and that is why I like. The premise is one of the best I have seen and it has a good plot. The movie is about a Japanese game show where a group of six or seven people go into an arena with three serial killers and try to survive. The survivors win ten million dollars that they split, plus two million for every killer they kill. The game show is the world's most watched T.V. show and in the movie it is making its first appearance in America. The acting is not horrible but it is far from good. There are a few good actors in this movie but there also bad and mediocre actors as well. The death scenes are B-rate but are very good for the budget that the producer was on. Unless you are a fan of B-rate movies, don't buy this movie. If you are a fan of B-movies, go buy this movie because you will be laughing your head off. "Supercool"

Another doom and gloom movie.
|
If you plan on buying or renting this you may want to skip my review as I may spoil some of it for you. The film was well made the cast was outstanding. The scenes were unbelievable but that is where it ends. I watched the whole DVD and was left wanting something more. I did not read the book and probably will not and it may have lost something in the book to movie translation. If you like happy endings this is not your movie. That may be why I didn't like it and do no recommend it. I wanted a happier ending. I wanted and end! I know full well that not every story has a happy ending. But even in movies as depressing as "Schindler's List" you got to see the good as well as the bad. Also it doesn't really end which I hate and you never know what caused all of that. That frustrates someone like me just like at the end of "Ronin" I wanted to know what was in that damn case.

Great! Though a bit one-dimensional...
|
After getting Electronic's debut album I, of course, wanted to get their next one. I think this is just as good if not better! True, its not as diverse, but diversity isn't always required. The first two songs are beautiful. They sound like light rock laced with subtle synths and Bernard Sumner's more than pleasant vocals. The rest of the album is pretty much dance all the way through, rather reminicent of New Order's Republic. While "Forbidden City", "For You", and "Second Nature" are recognized as the three main singles, several listenings, for me, revealed that "Freefall" and "How Long" easily stand up to the affore-mentioned tracks. Other good songs include "Dark Angel", "One Day", "Until the End of Time", and "If You've Got Love". All in all a great album if you're in a dancible type of mood! Get it! I would recommend it to anyone who likes good music!

Great! WHEN it works.

I bought this fan for a week of camping in the Ozarks. I was absolutely thrilled to see the unit ran all night for the first two nights on a single battery. As a precaution I changed the battery on the third night. The unit was not working in the morning. Assuming it was a bad battery I changed it. It slowly began to run and just stopped. I was unable to get the unit to run any longer than a couple of minutes at a time, and then only by spinning the blades to get it started. I gave up after the fourth night and eight batteries later. We disassembled the unit and bypassed the switch. Still nothing. By squeezing the motor, we got it running well. Clearly the motor wasn't up to the task as the brushes were most likely gone. This was unfortunate as the unit provided a decent flow of air, and was quiet enough to sleep with. However, the tiny motor is not good quality. Also, it costs just enough to be frustrating, but not enough to go through the frustration of returning.

eww

I don't even know what to say. This is the worst CD ever. Two alley cats fighting would make better covers of the classics this CD rapes.Don't buy this. Don't even listen to it. I did. I wish I hadn't. I hope I never hear these things again. I love OpIvy. They are my fav band. I generally like covers of OpIvy songs. (NoFX's cover of Rancid's classic "Radio" is great, BTW! Check it out.) These songs just dont understand what's so great about OpIvy.Most of the songs covered here are from a cd called "Energy". OpIvy songs are supposed to be fast. These songs are dreadfully slow, like a fingernail scraping across a chalkboard.This is literally the worst CD I have ever heard. Although, I admit, I took it out halfway through and broke it in half.

could have been better

I enjoyed Kiki's first album which sounded more like her. I would have to agree with one of the reviews on how this album did not sound like her. It almost sounds as if she is younger than 18. There's a lot of head bobbin' music on this album which I do not particularly like. I wish this album was more of a mixture of sounds like her first album. I heard snippets of all of the songs on my computer through Windows Media Player, and from what I heard, I do not think I want to go out and buy this. I only enjoyed one song which was "Why Me." I heard this song on my way to church on the radio and it really touched me because inspite of what I am dealing with in my life right now, God sees all my mess and junk and still loves me. I wish she had that song out on a single, I would definitely go and get it. I hope in the future, that she will work with producers who will bring her sky-cracking voice back. Hint hint (PAJAM)

RCA quality strikes again.
|
Yep, I thought $30 was a pretty good price. I thought $25.99 on sale was better, so I bought it. Good looking, versatile, easy to use. We really liked it (frankly, we never thought about it again) for the 10 *** Months *** that it lasted. Yes, correct, months. But what can you do, there aren't a whole lot to choose from. Found a replacement for $20. Hooked it with no prob, same as before. It worked great for 4 hours and 35 minutes. Then it turned off, never to function again. Good luck finding one that works for a while.

Horrible Packaging
|
I am so extremely disappointed in this product. I returned it after having it in my possession for a minute. I bought it as a gift for my friend thinking that because it was a Shany product it would be good quality because I have bought from them before. I was wrong! It came dusty and dirty, the black handle on top was all stratched up, and what bothered me the most is that the dividers were all unglued! The dividers for the top sections are removable and very cheap. It is a small peice of wood covered in this foam like material, attached together by a cheap glue. When I opened it, all of the dividers were thrown all over the case and they had come unglued. I did not pay that amount of money for such cheap quality. I might sound picky, but it I was truly upset about this terrible packaging. I strongly recommend that you do not buy this product if you are looking for a good sturdy, completed make up train case.

worst sequal ever
|
First off - Rent this movie before you buy.It is not like 1 or 2. Number 3 is not even funny. I swear they just made this movie for the heck of it without putting any effort into making it. One part which is comfusing is that fiona is pregnant and she is fighing bad guys. What? Pregnant people dont do that. And the fact that when the king died all they said was "he is dead". They could have made it funny by saying "he croaked". Anyway this is all I have to say. I hope you like this movie more than I did. I doubt you will like it more than I did.3.99 to rent this movie on demand88 minutes to watch movie- waste of time

King Of the Ring-Let down of the year!
|
There were a few problems with this PPV. First they wasted 7 matches on the tournament. They should have only showed the final 3. Second none of the action was really PPV quality. Some of it was cool but most of it was bland. The Table/dumpster match was ok(Road Dogg Put through 2 tables and Tori looked like she was going to puke after a powerbomb)but the audience expected much more. The title match was cool but why would 3 guys who all want the title be on one team? It make 0 sense! The tag team match was good(Lita gave Edge a killer huracanrana!). The best part was seeing Kurt Angle become the King Of the Ring! He is very deserving. When it comes out on tape rent it.

Struted at track meet
|
The lens performs well when you do not put in situations when you know it will not perform well. There are enough reviews out there to inform you of the lens weakness, low light etc. I made one of those mistakes too. It can be great walk around lens for you. I used it recently at track, and a coach asked me to take some pictures for their team. I took photo's of their 4 x 400 relay team. I took a least four shots each leg using a D90 and all of the shots turned great. All of them could be used by the school. If it continues to perform, that $250 saving really looks good. At four shots per leg, auto focusing had to be on top of its game. Great value, give it shot.

These sounds will stick in your mind
|
I just love hearing these sounds. They are so relaxing except for that horse. I am not one for whinnying. It sounds like a barnyard. I really like the munching and slurping sounds. They sound pretty. I will just make those munching and slurping sounds all day. If I lived in a foreign country and could hire someone to push those sounds for an inexpensive wage I might do it. I really don't think that would be a cruel job like a sweatshop, I mean all you would have to do is make those noises by pushing on the toys. Don't report me to Amnesty International or anything!!! So basically if you like slurping or munching noises you are going to get addicted to this farm set. GET IT!

this book sucky sucky
|
The first thing that came to my mind after reading this book sets the tone for my review: chainsaw massacre. And Paschal will be the first to go when I have it. I in real life happen to live in Highland Park of Dallas, and find this book to be completely ridiculous. Especially after Paschal writes about somewhere she's never been before. Sure, it's a nice area, but seriously... this book is completely over the top. Anyone who wrote a good review about the book clearly didn't read it from a critical standpoint. It is not just "another cutesy teen book". Quite the contrary, in my opinion. You like dumb books? Then you'll probably enjoy this one and I hate you for it, but for the rest of us normal people, STAY AWAY!!!

"Malarkey"
|
I just read another review that said "Wow! Really?" That review pretty well sums up this steamy pile of cow dung. This is the documentary that one GOP congressman said was "totally true?" Peeyew. This documentary stinks. Just a ton of unsubstantiated conspiracy theories that have no basis in fact. This movie should be listed under science fiction in your movie categories. I would love to know who dreamed up this drivel. My guess would be the Koch brothers but that would be an entirely different set of conspiracy theories. Don't waste your time on this movie. It will destroy your brain cells.

Perfect for an older/larger baby!
|
We just got this for our six month old son as he has really out grown the traditional bouncer. He still naps in the bouncy seat so I hated to lose it. This is perfect. He actually looks small in it and he is a really big guy for his age (around 20lbs & 28 inches)! Lots of room to grow. The vibration is great and all the different songs/sounds are nice. The fact that you can change them manually or even hook up your iPod for more variety is great! He looks VERY comfortable in it and likes the toys it came with. It was a little bit of a pain to put together as the screws seemed to be the wrong size but my husband was able to work around that. The pad removes easily so it should be easy to wash. I think it would be fine for a newborn if you added a head support pillow, which you need to do with a lot of bouncy seats anyway. I think this seat has the "most bang for your buck" that I have seen yet.

Great game
|
This is one of the best games I have ever played. It's very exciting, has a good storyline, adictive, has many things to do after you finish the games, fun for everyone, and easy to learn the controls. the problems about this game is that it is a little too easy. I had beaten up the game when I rented it. but i bought it anyway because it is adictive and very, very, fun. In all the 5 levels there are many activities. For example in the second world you are in a planet much like earth, and there is so much to do. You can go in an arcade, a mueseum, a gymnassium, a warehouse, boxing place, and a library. sometimes i just play the game because in that level you can pick up a ball and play fetch with a dog. Also in every level you can do something fun after you beat up the game. The storyline in cool. in the game. Marvin the martian is collecting atoms to blow up the earth. your job is to collect 100 atoms and go to the final world where you fight face-to-face against marvin. Buy this game.

Waste of time
|
Since I'm familiar with both British and Japanese cultures, I was really looking forward to reading this. I was horrified. The Japanese are portrayed as narrow-minded. He makes fun of their broken English. The Japanese girlfriend is the sterotypical submissive Asian woman. The plot is extremely far-fetched. The main character lacks sympathy. He's taking advantage of this girl and then has no backbone when standing up to her family. He hasn't even called his own parents in three years but the father is supposed to be a jerk even mentioning this fact. The most disturbing part of the book is a man named Samuel who's married to a Japanese woman. He's portrayed in a very unsympathetic light and I found the whole role he plays and thinly veiled anti-Semitism.The main character is glib and self-serving. The book is very superficial. Wish I hadn't bought it.

Disappointed
|
First of all let me say that I am a HUGE Stephen King fan. I love his books and some of his movies. But I don't love this movie. I don't know how someone could come up with this bad of a movie from a pretty good book. First of all, without giving too much of the movie away let me say this, in the book they uncover a flying saucer. Whatever the thing in the movie is, it isn't a flying saucer. It blows my mind that they would change something this central to the point. And as some other reviews have stated, by just watching the movie, you have no idea why some of the characters are not affected by the ship like the others. My recommendation would be to take a little more time and read the book. You will be better off if you did. If you want to watch a Stephen King movie watch It, The Shining, Pet Semetary, Storm of the Century or the Stand.

Simply put, it's just not very good
|
This game has a lot going for it with plenty of stealthy ninja action. The problem is that the cons get in the way of the pros. For starters, the controls are annoyingly bad. The fighting consists mainly of run up to the guard and mash the attack button and hope something connects. Usually your character will continue attacking even though your not hitting anything, meanwhile your being chopped to death by a guard. Next, the graphics really show the Playstation's age; in other words, they're terrible. More than once I was aiming my grappling hook at a nearby roof, only to watch the entire building I was aiming at disappear. But hey, if pop-up is your thing, you'll be more than satisfied here. One thing I liked was that it was challenging (mainly thanks to the controls). However, there are just too many other good games out there to get to even consider this one. Go get Metal Gear Solid instead.

I am writing to tell women.. DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK. It is a waste of money. Ms. Northrup surely is an embarrassment to the female race. A medical doctor? NOT!! I was particularly disturbed by the statement on pre-ecampsia in pregnancy a result of the "hypochondriac pregnant patient" PLEASE!! Give me a break already. I am as positive as a woman gets and I got pre-eclampsia and NO I am NOT a hypochondriac and NO I wasn't mentally pushing my baby out of my womb early because I didn't want to be pregnant anymore. GIVE ME A BREAK This book should not be on the book shelves. Spare us please. Women are MORE INTELLEGENT than this book portrays us to be..Let's get on with REALITY. !!!!

Interesting Yes Album
|
I put off buying this album for along time because I had heard so many bad things about it. After hearing it several times now I am definitley on the side of those that like this recording. Even so there are a couple of things that mystify me about Tormato. The first is the actual sound which is not terrible but me thinks it could have been better. I mean these guys were a very successful band that seemed to have already mastered the recording side of things. Well just listen to the previous 6 or 7 recordings. Another thing is that the band almost sounds less mature. If I were told this thing came out 1970-71 I could believe it. Were they trying to be new wavey possibly?? Anyway, these mysteries in my opinion only add to the charm of Tormato. I really like it alot and feel it is a fine album that is a welcome addition to the YES catalogue. It is a bit lighter with shorter songs but the band sounds very inspired and they also sound like they are having alot of fun. Cool Stuff!!

KIT caution. Mine doesn't work.
|
I can't recommend. As their are other none kits for less money. Your taking a chance that electrical components, like diodes, capacitors, etc. are good. As their is no way they check each individual small part. After 2 hours of assembly, the voltage output is wrong. It constantly climbs. I turned it off at 30+ volts, The polarity was backward? and the LED doesn't light. Checked everything several times, with the detailed instructions. So I can't recommend it.

um.........

Being a climatologist for 20 years I bit the bullet and watched the movie. Politics and science have no place in bed together. and that is just what this movie is. a political agenda. Sorry, the earth goes thru climate cycles every so often, Either on a micro or macro level....what would Mr. Gore have called the great ice age? What would Mr. Gore have called the great dust bowl of the 30's? Gobal warming? It's a nice movie, nice visuals and landscapes......but proving science? no. Remember, the earth is 72% water, 72% carbon and oxygen! The earth lives and dies because of water content.....not because of us. If Gore is right...we are dead, with no chance of fixing the problem. The fix doesn't exist to make a difference in our dying. 100 years of industrial revolution does not make 10,000,000 years null and void.

Cool game
|
This 'beat em' up game is very fun. Lots of good things. The graphic is nice, a little simple but very clean. The animation is superb, good detail and no gameplay lags. The enemies are huge. Jackie Chan got a lot of moves, you can roll sideways and up and down too. The kung-fu style moves are funny and some look exactly like his movies(Rush hour etc..) pretty neat. This game is not easy which is nice. It also got a story which is pretty cool. This is a great beat 'em up game for GBA, its up there with TMNT and better than final fight imo.Overall a great gba game. Get it if you like good action game.

Excellent second book in the series!
|
What a great book! The characters are fully developed, but not impossibly perfect. The bad guys are not fools, and some have the best of intentions. And the story never slows down through the entire book. Really! The plot comes to good partial conclusion, with a tease for the next book. This is how storytelling should be!Reminds me of the early days of Jordan and Eddings, before they bogged down. (Don't get me started on that...do we really need a cast of thousands, a hundred subplots, and ridiculous characters who spank everyone?...could we please bring a couple plots to conclusion?...oops, sorry!)Anyway, great book. I actually think the second book in the series is better than the first - which was very good as well. The only bad part is waiting for the next book. Five stars all the way.

Daniel Band Lives!!!!
|
What can you say about the Daniel Band except they rock. Now, I'm not talking about your typical 80's Christian Metal like Barnabus,Barren Cross, Blood Good and/or Saint. No, this is the original stuff. The Daniel Band was a bunch of guys who started out in the coffee houses in Canada and turned into Christian Metal Powerhouses. These guys rock. From their debut album of "On Rock" to "Running out of Time" they maintained the hard rocking integrity the whole way through. Check out the great highlight songs on this album like Power of Love where the lyrics state, "I see the mountains and your glories there. Into the evening, I know you care. I see the wonder, when you're my aim. I see the night stars they spell your name." These are Spirit annointed lyrics with a heavy metal punch. Also, Lustful Illusions, Walk on the Water and Never gonna Die are great, great tunes. If you're a fan of good, old fashioned hard rock...buy this album. It rocks!!!! Jesus Christ is Lord!!!!

Scream is an understatement
|
After purchasing Schizophonic on Amazon I decided to give Scream a try. It took awhile for the album to wear on me. But it is an album I still listen to. Sometimes after a long day I'll play it and it always gets to me. Especially "Circles Round the Moon". One of the prettiest love songs I've heard in a long while. It is more of a playful pretty love song. But it is my fave. "Don't Call Me Baby" reminds me of the song "Stop" by the Spice Girls. Proabably the same writers. I was amazed that Dave from the Eurythmics worked on this album, as did the man who engineered a lot of the Eurythmics' albums. I always liked the New Radicals and I like his rock contribution to the album. For some reason the song and video for Scream IYWGF always reminds me of that Garbage song "Special." Overall a good album although I didn't purchase it for the #1 remake of Its raining Men. I loved this era of Geri when she got fit and into athletics and rock.

Quite an improvement on it's predessessor.
|
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this game, but the AI isn't as good as it should have been. I got this game the day it was released, and I must tell you. You WON'T be dissopointed. It's improved on the first game in every way possible. You really can't go wrong with this game. Playable Jedi:New Planets:Space Battles:New Troops:Story Mode:ETC. Still, some of the gamers of Battlefront 1 will probably think this game is the same as the orginal, because it's sooooooooo simalar to Battlefront 1 that it's funny, but has been improved on soooooooooo many levels. Lets put it this way,It's Battlefront 1 on steroids. LITERALLY!!! The gameplay is quite alot like the firt, but to me, it never really gets old! I hope others with the same apinions as me will enjoy this game and I hope you found my review informative.=)

Les Miserables is the most enthralling book I have ever read
|
This book is fantastic. After discovering the musical, I decided to read the book and am very glad I did. Marius, Cosette, and Eponine are involved in a heart-wrenching love triangle. I was happy for Marius and Cosette, (how can you not be?) but I felt so close to Eponine. She was so brave, being in love and knowing she was not getting Marius's love in return, yet she gives him the ultimate sacrifice. I think she displays the true meaning of love. The first time Marius and Cosette kiss is the most emotional scene I have ever read, and I read a lot. Eponine is definitely my favorite character, because she makes the most of what she has, and tries to improve herself while being held down by her family and poverty. I also thought it was ironic, the way Cosette begins as a poor orphan while Eponine has everything, then the tables are turned. I recommend this book to anyone looking for a bit of history and an emotional roller coaster.

Lazy, standard treatments
|
What an uber-genius idea: Kraftwerk comes out of retirement to record the theme music for Expo 2000 in Germany. Alas, the inspired commission yeilds lame-o results. No matter. Let's give it to cool producers/DJ's and watch how they make everything better! Can you imagine getting the call? Kraftwerk! The grampas of electronica-techno-dance, etc., asked ME to remix their single! You'd think these guys might have a sense of occasion. Judging by the results--nope. Lazy, standard treatments are applied across the board. Did anyone slave over these? Old-school nod Orbital churns out a happy ditty that goes nowhere fast. Rolando tosses off an FM Radio dud. FK + RR start out on a sea of mellow-cool only sink off the shores of Dullsville. How did this happen? A very disappointing effort. I'd like to say you need this CD from an athropological point of view, but I'm not so sure.

This time Midway went the [wrong] way
|
I am a total hardcore action/adventure/RPG fan, and thats what this falls into. I'll play almost any game, and mostly like it, but this game disappoints]. The graphics are really nasty, seriously, they are really cartoony. The voice acting is soo bad, and there are plenty of glitches in what he says. The storyline is...what is the storyline? You're not an important character at all. The gameplay is the only somewhat good part. It's just really [bad] that you throw your weapon around. You can go into hand to hand too. If you dont have 4 controllers this game is even more stupid. If you are an RPG gamer, or like action/adventure, this game is NOT what you think. If you liked all the gauntlet games, this is for you. But I think this game [DISAPPOINTS]...

Meet Ma and Pa Kettle in their first appearance.
|
Hop in the old truck with Bob (Fred MacMurray) and Betty (Claudette Colbert) and head for the hills of rural Washington State. Betty is unprepared for what awaits her--life on a chicken farm! Bob is gungho for the idea, but Betty has never gone near the kitchen to cook, much less to "put up all those canned goods" that Bob expects her to do! Down the road apiece live Ma and Pa Kettle and their hard-to-count-how-many children. Ma is an expert quilter and Pa is an expert borrower! You will experience life along with them going to the county fair, the weekly dances, planting a garden, everything right down to slopping the hogs. This movie is great fun to watch. I read the book, too. Try to get a copy, if you can. It is Betty's real life story. The movie is based on the book. I am sure you will be well entertained by them both.

High Quality Soulful Electronic
|
This band is almost completely overlooked here in America. As I am always on the lookout for interesting music I stumbled onto this and was impressed right off the bat. I am very picky about what I listen too. Mostly I am into electronic sounding music. Electronic music, however, is like horror movies - you have to weed through quite a few to find the winners. In my opinion Diroama is the real deal. Very catchy rhythms and melodies, electro hooks, and soulful brooding vocals. This is the first album of theirs which I have spent time with. I am about to purchase their latest. From the clips, it also sounds like a winner. They are German, but not to worry, most of the lyrics are in english. These imports are expensive so I purchased mine on ebay. Sorry Amazon, I still love you.

pretty good
|
I had recieved this book as a gift. I had wanted it for a while, because I someday hope to make a profession outof forensic psychology. Overall, this book was both intresting and informative. It had, for every topic there was, a real life parallell. The way it is organized, it is very easy to skip around, so you can basically read about what you want and not feel completely lost. The only downside to this book is that it sort of seemed like a very detailed outline. Every section was split the same way and had about a paragraph or two under it - I had expected a little more detail, shall we say. Also, I had expected a book such as this to me MUCH bigger, especially for the price. But like I said - overall it was intresting and informative, and quite educational. I learned many things, and was generally satisfied. Hope this helps!!

BEST MUSICAL MOVIE WITH THE PERFECT ACTORS
|
Amazing, great songs and great performances. Only two words: Michelle Pfeiffer!!!!! She's just awsome! Funny, evil, a really good singer.Queen Latifa WOW!! I lover her songs, her voice, so good. Travolta is the perfect one for that role, no one would have done better. I couldn't stop laughing, and he/she got me!Chris, Zac, Nikki and James were so good, I enjoyed so much every minute, every song, everything!!I've never thought I was going to love this movie so much. I saw it twice, and just after the movie ended, I ran to a store to buy the soundtrack. And I'm going to see it in a few days again.Can't wait to have the dvd, with all the extras!!!!!!

weak lyrics
|
Am I the only one who finds Musiq's name really stupid? What about the album title? Well I guess that was enough hints before I bought the CD. Musiq is not very good with words. Don't get me wrong, this brother has the voice, he definitely shines on "Love". But take his first single "Just Friends" for example, the lyrics are simply unbearably superficial. And that's what separates a true artist from the average singers. I mean, R. Kelly can talk about bump and grind as much as he wants, but he hasn't had a song like Marvin Gays's "Sexual Healing" or "Let's Get It On" yet. Musiq is no way near Jill Scott lyrically. In fact, he has a lot to learn from her. However, the production is pretty solid and consistent throughout the album. By the way, the CD booklet design is ruined by the last page where it says "PHILADELPHIA P.A." and has 4 pictures of Musiq. Looks like someone who has no sense of composition and typography had a little too much fun in Photoshop.

Sad Installation To the Saga
|
I will keep this brief. I tolerate this movie because it is part of the Saga but in my opinion the director fouled up horribly. The movie is relate to the book but it skips and omits in an unbelievable fashion. The entire time thing just does not make sense. The complete overhaul of the castle is horrifying. The alteration of the movie so as to remove Quiditch entirely from the plot line is abhorrent. Please don't get me wrong - I enjoy the movie but as I said - only because its apart of the series. But in my opinion the director did not really care much about the storyline or the book. He had an idea - he had never read the book - he altered, cut, mutilated and destroyed. So. Thats all I have to say. Just dissapointed that this movie could have been so much more... and it wasn't.

Daughter hates it!
|
I understand the methods used in this DVD, but it is very simple and boring in my opinion. The biggest problem I have is my daughter just gets spooked out with the women in the DVD. She crys EVERY time she sees the women in some certain scenes. I do not mean to be rude or disrespectful to the women in this DVD. I am simply saying they scare my daughter. At first she started screaming when the one women appeared like a ghost out of nowhere with a black back ground on the screen making a weird humming noice. I ran into the room and played back what she had seen and could understand why. It was creepy in my opinion. I then put something else on and she was fine. One hour later is when I ran the test to see if the DVD is truly frightening her. Yes, they just spook her out. This is just not for my daughter. Again, no disrespect to the makers.

modern masterpiece
|
I can say nothing but reinforce what has already been said by other reviewers. Ross Jackson has created nothing short of a masterpiece. While reading, I tend to become overwhelmed of the magnitude of the events occurring at this time. Ross allows the reader to feel the emotions within Sir Francis Bacon's circumstances. I am very hesitant on spending much on a book, but this book is well worth the price. I suppose it's a way of saying "thank you" for such a splendid work. From start to finish (which I have a few chapters left!), Ross keeps the intensity of Francis' situations. I have yet to purchase the companion guide, but will happen in good time. To Mr. Jackson, Thank you for this wonderful work. You have done this world a great service. Maybe it doesn't create world peace (haha), but it does shed a light on an important historical era.
