The same old thing but without the interesting bits.
|
The offices of the makers of the Godzilla films, and one of the employees comes running in. "Sir, sir! If we make just one more film by the end of this month we'll all receive a complimentary medal and tea-pot". The boss: "That's great". Employee: "But we've only got two days until the end of the month". Boss: "That's okay, Shoepolish. We've still got the Godzilla and Gigan costumes and we can knock up a couple of new ones - I don't know, a stupid-looking giant robot and a giant beetle thing will do. We'll use a lot of footage from older Godzilla films to save time and we'll re-use that old plot about aliens trying to use their monsters to take over the world. And we'll throw in some old twaddle about pollution in the sea". Employee: "But what about innovation, originality, interesting characters, plot developments?" Boss: "What about them?" Employee: "Er, nothing".

Saved a desperate trucker from bad consequences
|
Here was my uncle's situation (as described by him). I originally got this product as a joke for his birthday....I was driving my truck on the highway miles from any exit. Traffic was so bad I was barely moving. Suddenly, the mexican food I had eaten earlier made me feel terrible. I was hoping I could make it to the next exit but there was not enough time. I was getting desparate. Then I remembered about my porta potty! I ran to the sleeper part of the truck, turned on the lights, closed the curtains, and let out one of the most vigorous craps I've ever had! I would have paid anything for that little bucket at that moment! The entire experience was very comfortable and the little bucket could easily hold a 190 pound man. It is barely shorter then a regular chair so I didn't have to squat down or anything. Thank you Reliance Products for saving the day! After that, I discreetly got rid of the bag by throwing it at the bed of some guy's pick up.

Don't buy it
|
I am a user of previous versions of System Suite. Everything was fine in Windows 98. On Track has been bought out by VCom. Version 4.0 has many bugs. There is no support and the application has beeen nothing but trouble (Windows XP). It reported I had a virus PE_ELKERN.D I ran a complete virus scan 5 times, 6 hours, and it said it was cleaned. However, System suites virus message kept popping up, hundreds of them, almost every key stroke. I ran Norton Virus Scan- no infected files, I also ran McAfee, no infected files. I tried to look up the virus (vil.nai.com) and there is no record of it. System Suite completly hosed up my system. I finally had to use Win XP to uninstall it.

Benny is amazing!
|
Yes, this album has Benny's re-recording of his biggest (only?) hit "Into the Night". This version sounds nearly identical to the original. The orignal came from an album called Never Run Never Hide that was not very good. This album surrounds "Into the Night" with 9 other songs, most of which are exceptionally good! I Never Really Loved You at All, How Could You Love Me, Never Far Away, I'll Be Good to You and If You Loved Me are all perfect AOR pop/rock songs. Anybody that likes Into the Night will appreciate these songs. We've Got to Run shows Benny in rare "rocker" form. Yeah, he's got the long hair and raspy voice...but Benny is more of a balladeer than a rock. This song is top notch. I recommend this album for anyone, really.

BORING!!!
|
I dont understand all the reviews about the great graphics, the graphics are terrible! not up to par with what the PS3 is capable of. Maybe these people dont own any great games with real graphics? For those people that think these are great graphics, pick up COD4 and use that as a comparison. You'll cahnge your reviews immediately. As for the gameplay, BORING! I picked up this game the day it came out, stopped playing less than midway and have not picked it back up. I cant stand the fact that I have to drive 10 minutes to get to a mission, die in 1 minute and then have to start all over again and drive another ten minutes. (real time, sometimes the driving is longer). I have more important things to do with my life. Also, the story line sucks. I've played every GTA, and the gameplay in all the others was so much better. Better story, better music etc. I've decided as I write this that I'm going to exchange it at gamestop for something newer, with better graphics and gamplay.

Horrible
|
I use to buy this in my local store all the time. It was my favorite popcorn topper. I don't know what happened to it, but this stuff is horrible. It looks exactly the same as the stuff I would buy locally and I'm pretty sure it was the same name. I know it was the same company. I got the pack of 6 so I tried a few different bottles, but they were all the same. I ended up tossing all of them. It is really too bad. I loved the Reese popcorn seasoning I use to buy in the store. I did read several other reviews that said basically the same thing I am saying, but I didn't listen. I wish I had. At least I'm not out too much money.

Pleased in PA
|
We purchased the InStep Quick N EZ Bike Trailer for our 16 month old son. We have used it for both long walks and bike rides and our son loves it. It is very easy to put together and also to transfer between bike trailer and stroller and is relatively easy to pull behind a bike! However, we purchased it with hopes that it will fit two children in the future. I really don't see how two children would fit in it comfortably. The price from Amazon was great! It is approximately $30-$40 cheaper than other places. We chose the free shipping with Amazon and received the trailer within two days. It folds flat, so it will be making a trip to the beach with us in a few weeks. In addition to fitting two children, my only other problem with the product is the buckles are difficult hook. Once my son is in, he's in. Getting him out takes a little work!

A truly exciting and action-packed book by Douglass
|
This is the first book I had a chance to read in the Seal Team Seven series and also the first book I ever read about Seals. The book is filled with action, realistic missions, high-tech warfare, and the best and most up-to-date tactical weapons and equipment. I guarantee you are NOT wasting your money if you buy this book! After I read this book, I went out and bought every other book in the series. Keith Douglass has gone from being an author I never heard of, to my favourite (that's right I am Canadian, so I did not make a spelling mistake)author! I am just praying he writes many more in the series. I am not going to give any of the book away, so all I will tell you is buy it!!!! It is a very exciting book! I have read the book six times and it has gotten my adrenaline going each time. Once you read it, please e-mail and let me know what you think. And just because I am Canadian who says I can't love the U.S. Navy Seals?

A Great Deal! Just Open them with Care!
|
I had a great experience with this Seller. Everything arrived early and in good condition. The box was labeled "Glass" so perhaps that helped. I did not have problems with broken cases. They can split if you open them too quickly. Just place your thumbs closer to the tabs when opening. This means popping the top tab first then the bottom one and they will work fine. Once you have opened them a few times they will work better. Yes they are a little less quality then in the stores but go pay $1 each for them if you wish. I put a lot on to DVD's so this was a great deal for me. I have no regrets and if I run out I will definitely buy more from this seller. Thanks!

Sharp LC-32D5U should be better
|
We have this tv for 3 weeks. The first week the TV Guide feature worked. I tried to add a channel to the listing, did not know that Comcast Cable had to do that and something got messed up and hasn't worked since. Comcast has spend 7 hrs here and Sharp has no answers. The TV Guide does not work, the listing on the screen for the channel does not display anything. Does anyone know how the TV Guide works??? The set up on screen and in the manual does not correct anything. The cable technician came and now when you press the remote for up channel it jumps from 5 to 600 and when you press the down arrow it goes to 713, which is not down by any means. How can anything get this messed up? Thinking of returning it and have 2 more weeks. Have another call into Sharp on Tuesday to see if someone else can help. Found out yesterday they don't make this model anymore. How good can it be???

Don't bother with this product
|
I just bought this product because :1. It was cheap2. I thought it would be convenient.Well, even if it were free, I wouldn't use it. I'm returning it right away.This cleaner is really poorly designed. You have to remove the tank on the top of the cleaner to add the cleaning solution and water. Once the tank is full and heavy,it is very difficult to line up the tabs to get the solution tank back on. The button for the spray nozzle is poorly placed, and not comfortable to use. The unit is noisy, and worst of all the suction is very weak. This leaves you with a very wet carpet. It takes longer for the carpet to dry after cleaning. Not worth it, no matter how cheap.

Read this to your kids for bedtime, not your own enjoyment.
|
Admittedly, this series did help quite a bit to bring fantasy fiction into the mainstream. But, that is about all it accomplishes. This series is full of the cockie-cutter stereotypes that most fantasy fiction is founded upon. The authors' grasp of their own details is shaky at best. It is rather obvious that Margret Weis & Tracy Hickman had very little practical knowledge about historically accurate medieval times. The characters sleep in their armor, even in the dead of winter? I must also admit that TSR novels are largely what I was weaned on as a young reader. But, to continue the medaphor, one will find that mother's milk tastes increasingly sour as one ages. Has the milk changed? No. The drinker has only gained a more refined pallatte.

Great Game
|
Already have played the import version I must say this game is great. Yes people think Disney sucks but the integration of disney to a Squaresoft RPG was executed very well. The game is dark and challenging. The game is a mix of Secret of Mana and FInal Fantasy IX a deadly combination. If the game had flaws it is the way the Disney World felt small and compressed (come on Neverland had more than Big Ben and the Pirate Ship). The music is excellent and the animation is crisp and clear. A kiddy game? No. A Challenging Game? Yes. A game worthy of the Squaresoft Name? Definatley Yes. And is is better than Final Fantasy X? .................. Nah!

Unique and the book that started all
|
I read the book every couple of years for the last 16 years. This are the books that started all. Without this, there would not have been all those other pseudostories. The setting, the plot, the characters, everything was fantastic then, and it is still wonderful nowadays.He did a fantastic job and nobody will ever surpass it. Is like saying that some sci-fi moovie will be better than Star Wars. They may try, but it won't happen. When somebody does the FIRST, ORIGINAL THING, everything else is just trying to be as good, but can not pass it. Let face it, the originals are always based on original thoughts and ideas. No references, no past works... after that, everybody else can use that work as a reference.Regarding the story is simple. The eternal clash between good and evil in a fantastic universe.This is a MUST READ for everyone. I have only read one more fantastic book after this one and it wasn't even close.

LOVED THE BOOK on the second reading
|
Ms Chute writes what she knows, her life, and for one I neither condemn nor otherwise judge. On content, the book flies. I read from cover to cover.However, it is not a page-turner. I recommend that you read the second chapter twice or three times, before going on. Just to get to know the names of the characters and such. Seems like the characters changed names or characterazations between the beginning and the end. Some dropped out, and were never heard from again. Some appeared in a different guise. The author should concentrate on a few main characters from beginning to end. The message, the atmosphere and the characters would not suffer if some of the chaff was cut.In other words, the book is a great start for a beginning writer, but the book is in need of a good editor and an organized re-write. We would call this a "blog" today. But go ahead and buy it and read it anyway.

Could not put it down.
|
I read the book in one day. I could not put it down. I know alot of the characters in the book and found it to be true and accurate. I actually was a guest of John's at Player's on many occasions. There were many times that we were, in fact, escorted by body guards. I have no doubt that the book is based on truth and makes for excellent reading. I have actually stayed in the room's that John kept reserved so he could observe the dregging of Lake Charles. It had a great view of the Lake, as he states in the book. (I wish he would have told me the phone was bugged) I will always cherish the autographed copy of the book that I have. I am so proud to know John and Susan. Look for me in the chapter "10 years gone." His description of his ex-wife, my former skating pupil, is right on.... Get the book today. You would have only to meet her to know her trench mouth.. Rob & Becky

Another great DeWalt product
|
I upgraded from a 14.4V drill and I really enjoy the extra power that the third gear delivers. The hammer action is a great help in certain applications. It gives that little extra needed to get the job done. The 6 1/2-inch saw is very quiet but has the power to go through just about anything. It makes nice straight cuts and seems to run forever before needing a battery change. It is also very lightweight. The reciprocating saw is really handy, not having to watch for the cord and having the power of a corded saw. It's great. It could come with one more battery. I bought another 18 volt drill just for the extra batteries. I do use the drill too. The light is handy for those out-of-the-way jobs, or remodels without power. Overall, I think it is a great set of tools and it is not that heavy so taking it from job sight to job sight day after day doesn't wear me out.

EXTREMELY UNSATISFIED
|
We never received the product. First we received a women's watch. When we called to see how to get the correct product that we ordered they were very nice about telling us how to return the women's watch and told us that the man's watch was still in stock and we would have it by Christmas. The women's watch was returned and we waited and waited. Finally we called to make sure that the man's watch was on it's way. Guess what? It was not and to top it off they were not in stock anymore. I will never ever order from amazon.com again and would not recommend anyone else to either. They did offer us a $15.00 credit for their mistake! WHATEVER!!!!! We would just rather not use them at all!

Alas . . .
|
Okay, I wanted to like this novel . . . I really did. I managed to get through 120 pages, and at that point I read the professional reviews for it and found out that everyone drowns in the end - I got to the point where the "sea monster" had more or less attacked it's first victims mind, and I said "Enough, already!"I liked Donna and wanted to hang with it until I found out what happened to her, but I just couldn't. I'm not into sea monsters, sorry. And if everyone drowns, why bother . . . someone should be able to escape . . .

Mostly pleased
|
Shoes arrived very quickly. However, they run large and needed to be returned. New shoes where received for an $8.00 shipping charge. We also had to pay the return postage. The only problem was the lack of communication on their part. We had to contact them to find out if they were refunding or reshipping the new size. Then again to find out when they should arrive. They could be more proactive and let you know what is going-on up front. They needed to get the shoes from the manufacturer as they no longer had the size thus a slight delay. All this came after we received the shoes not during the process. Overall we are very please with the shoes. They just need help with communication skills. All communication was on line or via voice mail--no human contact. All contact had to be started on our part.

big mistake
|
Bought this for all the same reasons as the others..colors, sounds, big mirror. BIG mistake. I also have an SUV, it does not stay in place. Have to use towels etc. to even come close to a good view. The remote...what a joke. Ya it works if I'm sitting in the back seat and can be right next to the sensor. It does not work. The lights are only really visible at night, the music is not even something that would be nice for a baby. And for the price too expensive for such a disappointment. I would not recommend this product to anyone.

Nice Bin
|
It's a nice bin. It fits all of our 46lbs of dog food. The reason I gave it 4 out of 5 stars is because I'm not so sure how air tight it is. My husband says the lid is too flimsy. I don't reacommend getting it at Amazon. You might have to pay a little more at petco or petsmart (can't remember each place carrier this item)...it was the same price but shipping and handle made it more. Amazon clearly sent me a damage bin because the box was not damage but the lid on my bin was cracked and the lid won't line up with the bin. I called Bergan and they fixed me up with replacements I needed. I'm not buying anything from Amazon anymore unless I can't find something I really need any where else. Every CD I have bought from Amazon the cases are cracked or so damaged it won't stay closed and again the boxes are not damaged. I have to buy cases to replace them. I rather order from Walmart.

GROW UP, Everybody!!! Dreamworks, too!!!
|
You know, Shrek 2 is the embarassment of American culture. What's wrong with it you ask? Let's see... too much slapstick humor, too many movie references, or parodies, and an unforgiving act of making fun of or parodying CLASSIC DISNEY CHARACTERS!!! That's just unbelievable, Dreamworks! Disney animation has revolutionized the animation industry, and you just make fun of them. That's a real shame. You should be thanking Disney for all what animation offers nowadays. Disney classics have heart, humor, and a beautiful story. Shrek 2 lacks that. Shrek 2 deserves to be taken away from everybody and stored in a government facility, never to be seen again!!!

Weak, Loud, and Overpriced
|
I requested and received this foot spa as a Christmas gift a year ago. Conair makes it sound like heaven! Not even close. The heat mechanism doesn't keep the water warm, it is LOUD (I have to turn the TV up insanely loud just to hear it). Now I didn't expect it to be super quiet, but I did expect to be able to hear the TV at a normal level. After only a few uses, the jets stopped working. The vibration and bubbles are great and still work fine (vibrating and bubbling lukewarm water), but that's about it. The little "hanger" thing they expect you to store your pedicure attachments on is a JOKE. It kept falling off so I just threw it away after about a week of driving myself crazy with it. And because of that, I have now lost all the attachments that came with it. This unit is terribly over priced. I don't even use it anymore. I use a regular motionless foot tub (one I got from the hospital actually) and it does just as good. Save your money!

Looks good, but doesn't keep drinks cold
|
My wife gave me this for my birthday (at my request), and I had high expectations. My first day with the drink dispenser was fine. I filled it with drinks that were already cooled from the fridge. It did an OK job keeping them cool. The first problem came when the fan noise stated to get louder and louder after the first week of use. It did not sound normal... but it eventually settled down. The second and most relevant problem came when I refilled it. This time with cans at room temperature. They never cooled. Not even after being in there for another week. They just barely managed to make it a few degrees below room temperature. I am very disappointed with this product.

Ye gods! He's invaded our shores! O'Donnell: ah,boo!!

For you folks who are big fans of Daniel already, well, I've no hope of talking you out of it. But for those who saw this on their list of recommendations and wonder what exactly they'd be hearing....folks, this is the sort of thing that appeals to green-beer-drinking, Danny-Boy-singing, kiss-me-I'm-Irish crowds. Generally the senior members of that demographic. The fact that he actually comes from Ireland makes it all the more embarrassing. Usually only the Irish American auld-sod-wannabes come up with this sort of thing. His singing voice is positively adequate, his choice of material is all stuff you'd hear on an easy listening radio station. Even the so-called IRISH material---mostly sentimental ballads-- is of the sort that the real Irish singers won't touch, and he lends it all a lounge-singer flavour. Ditto his so-called country songs. The guy's gonna grow up to be Lawrence Welk. McWelk. O'Welk.

Generic Rock
|
If you like generic, bland, emotionless rock, this disc may befor you. However, if your tired of contrived"alterna-rock-n-roll" don't bother. Poor production, singing, and lyrics litter this disc. A remake of "Tainted Love"! Puuleeezh! This classic should haver never been touched! What an outrage! A truly desperate attempt to garner some radio play. I really did give this disc a chance but it just never caught on. Needless to say I at least salvaged ( ) out of it by selling it to my local music store. END

That's right, everyone!

How she got a record contract is beyond me. She needs to be spending her time on singing lessons than making this crap. When is she going to face the fact that she has NO TALENT? The cover of "satisfaction" was utterly repulsive! Who gave permission to let her remake that song? She completely butchered it with her "uh" between each word. Also if you put the song "Oops!..I Did It Again" and "Baby, One More Time" you can hear that they are exactly the same. Can't you realize that? STOP WASTING YOUR TIME ON BRITNEY SPEARS. Why can't we give record contracts for those who deserve it? IF YOU OWN THIS ALBUM, I HOPE YOU HAVE TROUBLE SLEEPING AT NIGHT!

An angel among us!
|
I was an attached viewer of "Dark Angel" for both seasons. Like many, I was confused and dissapointed that they pulled the plug on a show with floods of fans tuning in. The overall theme of the show was exciting. It takes place in a dysfunctionally corrupted Seattle. It was like a futuristic Robin Hood!I liked Max (Jessica Alba) because she had different personalities on screen. She wasn't always a badass. She's nice & outgoing with her friends such as Original Cindy and her closest partner Logan. However, when the bad guys get in her path she plows through them. She applies her ... attitude when neccesary, especially with her boss. She's quick, daring, sneeky, street smart, and sexy.Dark Angel was by far one of my favorite shows alongside "Smallville" and "Witchblade" (which also got taken off the air). Every week a different story more exciting and twisted than the next! This DVD is a must buy!

2Pac: A Great Poet
|
The lyrics of Tupac Amaru Shakur will be in our hearts for therest of our lifes and beyond that. His words touched the world bydoing the one thing that singers dont do any more. And that is write songs based on reality, love and heart. And to not be afraid to express yourself. He preached the word of respect to the world, and wanted to try to end violence among race and culture. Althogh in his lyrics he used very explicit content, he was just expressing himself, and thats what poetry is all about. His songs were based on his life. This Album supplies some of his best work throughout his life. It is a great album that everybody should just kick back and liste to his preaches and not judge him by language. As onced said in the novel "To Kill A Mocking Bird": ".. don't ever judge a person until you crawl in his skin and walk around in it...". Respect the mans word. Leave him in peace. Much Love Pac!

Hey, I live in Greece and I just can't believe that this junk is being advertised here as the best american music out there! You want to listen to some REAL new american music? There's great stuff for everyone. You want soft-rock? Josh Rouse has released a great album. Want something you can dance to? Check out LCD Soundsystem. Want to listen to GREAT pop music? Mercury Rev and Rufus Wainwright have released amazing new albums.Do you like "experimental" music? Check out The Mars Volta or The Fiery Furnaces. These are just a few examples of REAL american artists. These bands have singers who can SING, musicians who can play an INSTRUMENT and they WRITE their own songs. Instead, people just keep buying this album, thus making the Simpson clan even richer...."Autobiography", my friends, is not "punk rock". It's not rock. It's not music...Thank you all for reading this...

Amazing little creation
|
I bought this for my 15 year old brother after hearing about it on the radio. It took an eternity to find. It seems this little pup is the hottest little gadget of the year. It will amaze you. Just think of something and answer it's 20 questions and it will (most of the time) guess what you are thinking. After seemingly unrelated questions, it still somehow manages to get ya. It's witty little comments in between questions will irk you a bit. Everyone in my family enjoyed it....from my 15 year old brother (who hardly saw the poor thing) to my 60-something year old Grandmother. The price is unbeatable (I got it for $10), but I hear that it's on the rise, due to the demand. It's also very conveniently sized. No larger than a tennis ball, this is excellent to take along on road trips. The whole family can play.

Didn't work at all. Returned it.

I guess I shouldn't have started at the bottom. I know electric sharpeners aren't cheap, but I just didn't want to spring for one of the more expensive ones. I put an un-sharpened pencil in the sharpener. Nothing happened. I took it out, put it in again. Applied a little more pressure this time and got a hum out of the motor, but no sharpening. I tried a pencil that had already been sharpened, but needed a finer point. More of a hum, but still no sound like anything was moving in there.If it doesn't work out of the box, I'm not even going to try another. Packed it back up, requested a refund and sent it back. I'll try another brand. Not even going with another X-acto, even though the next one up claims to be the model that used to be the Boston one I used at my office for years.

Good for One Season
|
When I first saw this advertised, I thought it would be great. Living in a rural area, I have fencing, an unpaved driveway, and other areas that need to be sprayed. I'm a senior citizen, and the hand-pump sprayers just were too slow; I'd run out of energy. But this wheel-pump. . . ! I found I could hook it onto the back of my garden tractor and drive along, spraying as I went. At the time, I thought it one of the best things I'd ever bought. That changed the second season, however, when it refused to hold any pressure at all. I emailed the company and was told to clean out the filter at the bottom. I found the filter, which looked fine, but I rinsed it anyway. No change: the thing would simply not hold pressure. I filled it with water, thinking perhaps moisture might revive some rubber seal or something. Still no change. Regretfully, I put it out along the road, and a passing motorist must've stopped and picked it up. It was such a great idea. A+ for imagination; F for execution.

Titanium scissors - what a great invention!
|
This is the second pair of titanium scissors I have reviewed for Amazon Vine. The other pair came fromScotch. I have used both scissors in my kitchen for several months, and they both work great. They are very strong, and they don't get sticky like steel scissors do when you cut tape or labels, or my favorite sticky item, dates. They don't bend or break or get dull, or get loose, or have any poor qualities that I have noticed. The only difference I noticed between the Westcott scissors and the Scotch scissors is, the Westcott scissors became a little stained over time. The Scotch scissors are still shiny black and look like new. The Westcott scissors started out silvery and now have sort of wavy patterns of metallic stain. It doesn't affect the use of the scissors at all. These are still great scissors, and I am convinced titanium is the way to go. What a great invention! Titanium scissors -- try a pair, you will love them.

YAWN..........
|
First I have to admit, I only read 150 pages of this book. That was all I could possibly stand. Life is just too short to waste on a book you don't enjoy reading.Ballas, our main character, is a drunk and a scoundrel. One is not sure whether they should root for or against him. He is a vagrant, thief, and all around not so nice guy. He steals a mysteriously beautiful gemstone, which sets into motion something........I got too bored to stick around and find out what.The first 150 pages are filled with Ballas being beaten within an inch of his life, coming to, healing enough to move on, only to be beaten within an inch of his life again. ok, we get it, let's get on with the story. I just got too bored to stay with this one folks. Maybe it got better, but to me, if an author can't write well enough to grab and maintain my attention, their book isn't worth my time. There are too many great books out there. Read this one at your own risk, if you can stay awake through it, that is.

Don't buy this!
|
I feel like an idiot for buying this thing. It's made entirely out of plastic (??) which we all know is not a suitable container for HOT water! Perhaps this does render the carafe "unbreakable" but I would gladly take a breakable carafe over one that leaks toxic BPAs into my coffee every time I use it! In addition, within 5 cups of coffee the (plastic??) filter holder began to chip and by now it is broken entirely and completely unusable. I looked online to see about getting a new one and guess what? Hundreds of people are complaining about the filer breaking in exactly the same way. So now I'm an idiot for not reading ANY reviews before buying. You don't have to be!(Can I also mention how ridiculous it is for something that holds 8oz to be called a "3 cup" coffee maker??--but again, this just makes me a bad consumer for not reading the fine print)

Are you sure Joan?
|
The story line of the book is delightful. that in itself was worth the buy for me. However, I pur- chased the book for the recipes. That was a mistake. Unless the ingredients (fruits, etc.)on the East Coast are vastly different from ours on the West Coast Joan doesn't use these recipes. I tried a couple, but only a couple. Then I researched how to test a recipe, before wasting my precious fruit and sugar. A lot of her recipes call for 1 1/2 pkg. pectin. Well, let me tell you, that's a lot of pectin. I gave her the benefit of the doubt a couple times and then got a little wiser. For instance the recipe on page 43 makes such a thick glob of goo that one can barely incorporate the sugar. tsk tsk! Personally I'd like her to show me decent results using her recipe, straight from the book. I bet she can't do it. Furthermore, I would actually like reimbursed for the money I spent on the bogus recipes, I'll throw in my time for the learning experience.

Good Stuff
|
These guys really rock! Very good guitar solos, vocals, and songs. I am thankful for Mr. Frost for bringing back an old favorite, Pounding Metal. I got that song on a tape a long time ago and thought it was Lizzie Borden because that was what the tape was supposed to be. However, it turns out that was an Exciter song just thrown in on the end of the tape. Well, Seven Witches does an excellent version of it! They also do an amped up version of Bat Benetar's Hell Is For Children.My only criticism is that there are no song credits or lyrics in the CD booklet. For all I know, the entire album is obscure cover songs except for the two tracks I recognize. However you slice it, it is still good power metal and Jack Frost and company know how to lay it down. Recommended.

The Dumbest Winter Ever Left Me Hanging
|
This book was very compelling, but I was very disappointed by the ending. I couldn't identify with Winter at all, even though I know many people like her. I hated her. All she cared about was ice and men and wearing name brands. She is one of the most superficial protagonists! I kept waiting for her to turn her life around, to realize how utterly STUPID she is for only caring about the BLING BLING and sex and looking good. But she never did. And what is up with Sister Souljah incorporating her own image into the novel? I thought that was a bit pompous. I kept waiting for Midnight to come and help Winter. Somebody needed to help the poor child. Maybe I just wanted a fairy tale ending. Even at the very bitter end, Winter still only cares about how good she looks compared to others. You'd think after all she had been through, she would have learned her lesson. I wouldn't be surprised if she would be back to her old tricks. There was no real resolution.:(

OWNED FOR THREE YEARS, JUST BOUGHT ANOTHER ONE
|
I have read several reviews of this coffee maker, good and bad. I would have to say to all those folks who are having problems to be sure you are using it properly. People are complaining of water dripping down the back because of filling issues. Use the water hose from your sink. The water that comes down the back, 99% of the time is from the condensation after the pot has brewed. The simple fix for that is to tap the top a couple of times before you open it. I brew about 3 pots a day with mine and have never had one problem. However, I understand like all electronics there are going to be some some duds. I am sorry for those who have received one. But overall for the price the design and the flavor that comes out of this machine, I don't mine buying a new one every 3-5 years. But I haven't had to buy a replacement yet just bought one for the office now.

This game sucks....
|
This game ... It says it is 1-4 players simultaneosly, but it isnt. It is only 2... so it ... if you have friends and want to play. Either that or my multi taps b, c and d ports are messed up. Also the single player is too linear. You can barely explore or anything. The graphics are ok, but the sound effects ARE VERY BAD!! Everything sounds so cheap and inhuman. I rented this at blockbuster, I hope the game is messed up or something because it stinks. Turok 2 was alot better. I think gaming companies are all about graphics now and not gameplay; which is really sad. Some where I read that this game was going to be awesome, I totally disapprove. All the reviews I read anyways only talk about "what they heard and saw" Do not rent this game!! Wait for armored core 3.

Clayton not a model character
|
I read this book a second time around and I found some problems. Frankly I think Clayton was too controlling and a little deranged. I couldn't see the love between Whitney and Clayton. Why would she fall in love with this character. I cannot understand why Whitney would fall for this man. Forget for now the fact that he rapes her, but he doesn't trust her after their marriage. The ending didn't leave me feeling warm and cozy. Frankly I couldn't see a "they lived happily ever after" all I could see was more stupid misunderstandings that aren't discussed and assumptionss are made. And the rape scene does bother me. It wasn't necessary and it further adds to my disgust of Clayton. I wish McNaught would stop writing about characters that arre tall dark handsome and rich and stopped using the misunderstanding formula over and over again. There is so much readers can bare.

More Riddles, Patterns, and Problem Solving
|
This great book provides the opportunity for children to enjoy mental math challenges. The riddles guide the reader to the author's solution. However, our son enjoyed looking for patterns and using his own clever ideas to quickly solve the problems. I gave this book to my six year old son the summer before he began second grade. He loved the rhymes and the pictures. He especially liked finding clever ways to count the objects without counting one by one. We made a family game of solving each riddle, working to see who would solve it first. Then we shared our strategies and reviewed the author's strategy which is presented in the back of the book.I highly recommend this book! It provides good mental math practice in a fun way. It also reinforces the fact that there are many ways to solve a problem. Gifted children love patterns. This book builds on that and helps them to see additional ways in which finding patterns could be useful.

A definate buy
|
If your an Elvis fan, buy this DVD. I love it. I was going to buy it on Elvis.com for $20 more. Then I came to amazon and couldn't not buy it for such a low price. So glad I did. I watch it almost every morning while I do my household chores. Its great because I can sit down and watch it or just listen to it while I do other things. My 6 and 4 year old love it just as much. They try to imitate the moves or Elvis. We love that we get to see the real Elvis in this DVD, he had a great sense of humor. Not to mention they play a great selection of his music, fast, slow, and also Christmas music. This is probably one of my best purchases this year. A definate buy.

Try this Tribal
|
Even after I really started getting into Progressive, I wasn't quite into Tribal. So when I first bought this CD, it hardly appealed to me at all. It didn't sound right, for some reason. But a few months ago, I was getting hard up on new CD's to listen to, and my tastes had gone a little darker. So I decided to throw this CD into the mix, and give it another listen. And I gave it another listen. And another. I was infatuated. The sound thrilled me now. No need for catchy leads, or uplifting riffs, Steve just relies on cold, hard drums, and a mean bassline to get his point across. And that point is delivered. Lights out, headphones on, I still love this CD.

Let's hear it for Grandpa!
|
Ok, ok, I know this is kind of a hokey video,but I liked it. If you like Grandpa from the Munsters program, then you may like seeing him host a lot of monster movie trailers.Well, at least it's sort of an original idea and you can be assured that Grandpa will not be putting out any more videos. He passed away several years ago, but his works live on. This video is good for a good rainy night when there is nothing to watch on TV. It's amusing and the price is right.They don't make classic trailers like these any more. Old black and white videos like this still can be entertaining. if you have the movies to go with them. I mean who ca resist Al Lewis as Grandpa. He's cute in a monster sort of way. Buy it on Amazon. I did.

There's a Monkey in My Boots
|
This book was probably the best Michael Crichton book I have ever read. I wonder if the other apes besides Amy actually existed in real life. I had no clue that technology like voice recognition existed in the 80's. You would have to be an idiot to risk blowing yourself up just to get some diamonds. The silverback gorillas were a lot like the dog in The Mask in the way that they can use tools. I doubt that a satellite could send out jamming signals all the way from space to sea level. The death count of 7 people was especially high for a Michael Crichton book. I think that it's impossible that a person could do fractions when they were only 2 years old. My favorite character was Amy because she had more common sense than some of the other characters. I want to see the movie, even though everyone tells me it isn't very good. I think that this should be a required book instead the boring ones that the school picks out.

Highly suggest against buying S&W branded watches
|
Let me bottom line this for you. If you want a bad-boy Microtec based tritium watch, then buy a Traser, Luminox or KHS. All the other ones I've run into are cheap and a weak excuse for a hardcore watch. I purchased one of these S&W's to replace a broken Luminox. I sent it back the first day I got it. It was very cheap and the illumination was very poor. I then bought a Traser from LA Police Gear, and was very happy with it. If you want the badest of the bad, check out the German KHS with the blue tritium...very cool. Best price-to-performance goes to the Traser watches, hands down. All my cop buddies agree with me on this! (except my buddy who dropped $350 on a KHS, but I think he need to tell himself that to justify spending over twice as much for basicly the same watch!) Hope this Helps!

Michael Moore is a hero for standing up to the neo-cons.

Great Movie! Or shall I say, "Great Movement". By exposing those who sold their perverbial souls to the devil (big business, New World Order) he has started a movement. In the process has made over $50 Million after only 2 weeks in limited distribution. People must be fed-up. I know I am. I veteran of the first gulf war - still sick, and no medical coverage from the gov. - it is about time someone stood up to the "New MacCarthians (1950's). If you disagree with Bush and his cronies - you are a terrorist (F.U.). This is a free country A-hole!Keep up the good work Mike! We veterans are behind you!

Unusual and Unforgettable
|
Strange that an out-of-print book published in 1973 is still being read and reviewed in 2009. An original, well written story will stay with you. This is a classic.If you had the ability to go back in time, how would you exploit that ability? Would you go back and change something? And what if changing it made things worse? Would you go back again and stop yourself? Before you know it there would be dozens of you occupying the same space at the same time. You would be creating new universes and folding yourself.One aspect that surprised me was the psychological dimension. If you met yourself in various time/space dimensions, would you come to understand yourself better -- or would you simply meet for an on-going poker game? Would you have sex with yourself? Why not? Who better?I loved this book. It isn't a happy story, but it gave me a lot to think about.

Rohan Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
|
The name of this book is called Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Its author is J.K. Rowling. This book is an action packed story about a boy named Harry who has to live with his nasty aunt, uncle and cousin. In the first book he realizes that he was a wizard. In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Harry packs his suitcase and goes on a wild bus ride to what he calls his real home, Hogwarts; school of wizardry and Witchcraft. But challenges will await him there....... I like this book because it has good setting and character description. J.K. Rowling has written two books before this and two after this. I think this book is fiction because it's about wizards and witches. This book is great for children adults of all ages. So when you go to your library make sure to pick up Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.

One astonishing and hauntingly beautiful album
|
I am going to keep it simple, as I don't have the words to accurately describe this opus like others have. All I can say is that to really appreciate this album, you need to sit down quietly in a dark space and LISTEN to every note and every lyric. The lyrics resonate, the melodies give you goose bumps and Tim Booth's vocals are out of this world. This is one of my top 5 albums and one of my "desert island" choices. I have several thousand pieces of music from the late 60's to the current and few albums give me goosebumps from start to finish. I love all the songs, and as a couple of reviewers have said, I could leave out Low, Low, Low as it seems incongruant with the rest of the tracks. A hauntingly beautiful album that begs to be listened to over and over again. It will cover every emotion you have in an album but sadly it ends way too soon. They don't come much better than this. Buy it NOW!!!!

What happened?
|
Man, Creed are in a sorry state indeed. "My Own Prison" was a great album. Sure they were a Pearl Jam knockoff, but they were a FIRST-RATE PEARL JAM KNOCKOFF. The kind of knockoff that showed potential. Sort of like Days of the New. They were a first-rate Alice In Chain knockoff and now look at them. Or I should say him, Travis Meeks. The RED album was one of the greatest albums of 2001. As for Creed, they have squandered their potential and chosen to make the same song over again it seems. Also, to the person whom said that current rock is better than early 90's rock, what are you, nuts. Or just some casual-minded simpleton. Most of what you hear now is just some rip-off of what occurred back then. As for Pearl Jam, they're not any worse. They just mature and add variety to their catalog, unlike Creed, where every song sounds the same.

It's Worth It
|
This book was really cool. Personally, every book written by Nora Roberts is worth reading. The Reef was no exception. Because Nora Roberts intertwines a real plot with the romance story, she has become one of my favorite authors. There is quite a bit of suspense in this story. I really loved how Taylor became so independent. And poor Matthew, he tried to do his best for Taylor and she ends up hating him. But not for long...*wink*wink*. This story is a quick read only because it is so very hard to put it down. I recommend this book for anyone who has a soft spot in their heart for romance. You won't be disappointed.

crash and burn.
|
I have read other Crichton novels, but this is the first one I had to abandon after only 40 pages. The 'info-dumping' was painful, the characterisation was crass ( a redhead with a fiery temper? How does he think of these things?) and the subject, for a thriller, was mundane. But it was the casual racism which pushed this reviewer over the edge. Crichtons' insights into the minds of the Vietnamese Americans ("Quiet, self-contained..hard-working")or Chinese("great attention to detail") made me wonder about the rest of his legendary research skills. If you can't trust a writer to describe things you know with any realism, then you can't trust him when it comes to imparting esoteric knowlege about aircraft engineering, for example. Crichton is a fantastically successful writer. He does not need to write for a living any more. The biggest mystery about 'Airframe' is, why did he bother? Michael, baby, take a break.

Over priced clearance item! $79?! Not even worth $15!
|
I bought this one because it's light weight (4.1 oz.). I was looking for a small binoculars for my 4-year-old son. With the original price almost $80, "It must be good!" I thought! I paid $15 during Friday Sale. I thought I got bargain until I received it today with huge disappointment. It's hard to focus by adjust each eye, hard to see clear with tiny small lenses. I felt tense after using it for a while, don't even mention my young son will know how to use it! My daughter has a Canon 8x23A, which is in very good quality and easy for kids to use. After doing some search, I found Meade outlet is selling this Meade DCS 7x18 on eBay for $7.95 with free shipping due to this item is a closeout! This binoculars will be good for watching plays, shows, concert, whichever doesn't require focusing too often.

Spy Gadget Pack
|
My 5 year old girl LOVES spy kids. I made her an awesome spy kit with this, a black light flashlight, a mini 19 in 1 tool and a uv pen. She loves it. Sure beats some of the 'spy kits' you buy in the toy section. The pack is very durable. The strap is extremely long, but not an issue. The clip is a little difficult to unsnap for her. That might be a plus for some parents. She has been taking it EVERYWHERE. So cute. My little spy.

If you're looking for security, don't buy it.
|
If you're looking for security, forget it. Stick a pry bar in the side and it's open in a matter of minutes. But, this is the option that most people have. However, I just found the Buddy Electric Key Safe Cabinet model 3221-32 that's a bit more expensive, but definately secure. It's built like a safe... a necessity to protect your keys from a determined theif. It's equipped with two bar locks instead of a tiny metal latch. Plus the hinges are concealed. I found the best price on Sam's club website, but it ranged from $100-$200 when I googled it. This GE type of key cabinet built with a metal latch is nothing better than a heavy duty storage cabinet for your keys. I wanted security and storage. Bought the Buddy Key Safe instead. Much happier.

Tina Flaherty is a joke
|
Don't waste your time or money reading this book. Tina is a cruel, heartless woman and married for money. Her husband dumped her for a sweeter, kinder woman. Any man can be the right man. Don't be afraid to give a man your heart and ask for nothing in return. A man will give you everything you want since he only wants to be loved, which is something Tina knows nothing about. Yes, you can be successful in your career, but remember to be kind to people you work with. Kindness goes much further than ambition. Just don't treat people the way Tina does. She treats everyone is her life like they are her servants and feels she is justified in doing so since she has millions of dollars. She's very proud of the fact that she is a multi-millionaire. But, is she proud that she does not have one true friend, only her dogs? People don't like her...just her money. She will die very rich, but very poor in the soul.

Good movie damaged by bad ending
|
The performances were great. DeNiro plays the parole officer who gets seduced by the convict's girl friend. Jovovitch stands out as the best performer in this feature. Both Norton and her character use one another to achieve their own selfish ends. Norton as a convict is superbly portrayed. He runs circles around the parole officer and manipulates him constantly.This whole plot plays out very predictably. We get to see DeNiro's character is not dealing with a full deck. What did he think would happen if he had a relationship with the con's girl friend? It's a movie that stands out as a good character study. Perhaps a rental of this would be worth it. However, it's one of those movies you'd buy because you like the actors. Not so much on the logic and the way it unfolds on the screen. Nothing is resolved. We are just as much in the dark about the character's motivation.

I don't know how she did it
|
I simply do not know how this author passed this off as a best selling book. I recently borrowed this book from the library when I learned it was to become a movie staring Sarah Jessica Parker and Christina Hendricks (who is one of my favorite actresses of all time). When I began reading this book, it took a few pages to determine what was going so horribly wrong. In the simplist terms, the books "heroine" is one of the least likeable characters ever written. In her world, every task can only be completed correctly by herself. Her nanny? Incompetent. Her boss? A fool. Her husband? A slacker. Her best friend? Her mother? Uneducated and naieve. Coworkers? Pigs. The list goes on and on. What makes this especially annoing is that Kate make daily huge errors in her own life, but cannot tolerate any person around her who is less than perfect. I am so glad i did not pay for this book. I am hoping that the screenwriters can do something with this material to make it watchable.

Best Compilation of 2004
|
Sander's legend grows. TIEToo is a prog/house/funk 2CD trip of sensual sound. i'm not kidding there. as you can tell genres are increasily difficult to define, but somehow we always stoop to cornering musicians. that might be for the better- our expecations are then surpassed as they advance their careers. "This is everybody too" is brilliant. it starts slow, realizing that the two hour set is a marathon- once it kicks in, theres no letting go. that's assuming that the intro tracks dont grip you with their ethereal vibe. This surpasses his previous "this is everybody"-no questions. i can't think of a better mix this year- oakenfold's creamfields doesn't compare. even some of the more familiar tracks has sander recreating with fresh mixes. fresh is the right word- and currently thats the trend in global dance. it has to sound live, full, and danceable. congrats sander on success, a grammy is in your future.

One of the best southeast asia cookbooks
|
Don't let the word curry dissuade you from purchasing this book. It goes way beyond curry and way beyond Indian cuisine. Mridual Baljekar really knows how to pull a cookbook together. The ingredients are listed in the order of use. The directions are simple to follow - clearly stated -- nice techniques. Great pictures of EVERY dish. The recipes cover so many different types of dishes. From curries, soups, main dishes to rice, condiments and includes meat, seafood and meatless. It is one of my favorite cookbooks - I use it at least once a week. I actually have purchased multiple copies to give away as gifts to those that have tasted the dishes at my parties. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase other cookbooks from Mridula Baljekar! Asian

Congreve Has No Clothes
|
Most great literary narratives, whether fiction or drama, boast simple plots and complex characters. This play turns that approach on its head. Here, we have a hopelessly and needlessly convoluted plot with the most superficial characters imaginable. Great drama? There is no drama. Great comedy? It's not funny. In short, it's garbage. Perhaps this kind writing was impressive in its day, but those days have long long passed us by. Why can't readers just admit that some so-called classics don't deserve the name? In reading the positive comments here, one can't help suspecting that the reviewers have been cowed by the play's reputation. It's a very rare reader who would find Way of the World anything but tedious, confusing, frustrating, unfunny, and overrated. People, let go of your pretensions and just say it! Sheesh...!

First time Mom

I just bought this product after using the Diaper Champ for my 17 month old. I noticed that it does not completely eliminate odors, which is why I didn't give it 5 stars. However, I'm convinced that while there are babies on solid foods and messy diapers, odors are going to exist. I put a couple of air fresheners in the system and that seems to be helping. I would still recommend this product because it is MUCH more sanitary than the Diaper Champ, since you never have to come in contact with a dirty diaper again once you put it down the chute. Also, from reading some of the Diaper Genie reviews, this one seems much easier to use. You just open the door, cut the refill off, tie and dispose. You automatically have a new bag to start with. VERY EASY. Also, the refills seem to go a long way with this system. I'm glad I chose this system over some others out there.

Anna Wintour is always interesting, but this DVD takes advantage of our interest. It is SHORT, and not worth spending your money on. WAY TOO MUCH MONEY for what you get. I'm not sure who should be more ashamed . . . amazon or 60 minutes. This DVD is a rip off!!10/18/09 -- Since I first wrote this review, I found this entire segment could be downloaded from YouTube . . . not only for free, but of a much better quality than this DVD (the sound was horrible on my copy).

The dead wouldn't bother!
|
I have got to agree with the reviewer that said for fans only! And would like to add RABID FANS ONLY! I thought the band would be cool from their appearance in the movie strangeland. DVD had 2 very amateurish mtv style videos of "In league" and "Love stinks". The rest is video taken from fans in live concerts...yes that good of quality. In the studio with a camcorder. Nothing interesting there. And a few interviews. Live the Band looked like hip hop singers with the amazing gimmick of wearing ski masks (WTF?). Overall, a very embarrassing effort for this DVD. My advice is, Rent Slipknot and stick with some real winners.

Spirited Away
|
If you have never seen any of Mr. Mayazaki's works, get ready to be amazed. From all of the movies that I have seen, mind you I have only seen four of them (Princess Mononoke, Castle In The Sky, Kiki's Delievery Service and Spirited Away, they are all great, awesome, incredible. Spirited Away is basically about a girl named Chihido who stumbles into a world over taken by different types of spirits when going to her new house. When her parents undergo a transformation she must find a way to get them back to the way they were. In order to do that she must find work at the bathhouse and soon befriends a mysterious boy named Haku. Haku tells Chihiro that he will help her return her parents back to normal. So the adventure begins. That's basically the start of it. I hope this review will help you. And if you really haven't EVER SEEN Hayao Mayazaki's works this will be atsonishing!!

I loved it, mon!
|
Two African American teenaged students recommended this book. It was obvious the interest it would have for them, and I was amazed at how appealing it was to me (of course, I had just returned from vacation in Jamaica). As a middle-aged anglo woman, I smiled my way through Stella's reflections on life. Surprisingly, her stream of consciousness style was very refreshing. I liked Stella's philosophy of life, and her relationships with her sisters were classic. I enjoyed meeting Winston and admired Stella for the wonderful job she had done bringing up her son. This is a book with so many levels, that a woman should reread it at every passage in her life. It will never gather dust on my shelf. Why not a 10? I don't want Stella to lose everything she's gained in her new sense-of-self to Winston. Hang in there, Stella!

Where's the Colorization??
|
Well, I've been fooled again. I bought this DVD along with Vol. 2 of A&C Funniest expecting to get COLORIZED versions of the Colgate Comedy A&C comedy routines, instead all I got was b/w versions of their bits. The bits are good, for sure, but I expected to get COLOR versions, not the b/w drab versions. I am very disappointed, I wanted these in color. I was also fooled with another Legend release supposedly releasing 3 Stooges bits in color, instead only a tiny piece was colorized and the majority of the Stooge 3 disc set that I got was in it's original b/w. WHERE'S THE COLORIZATION??? What's with the misleading advertising leading you to believe you're about to see a beautifully colorized DVD set, when instead you get literally a couple of minutes of some material colorized but 99% of the DVD is b/w. I WANTED COLORIZATION, not b/w, I've been ripped off. Who do I clobber? Oh, myself for being fooled twice.

I Hate To Say It.
|
I'm a fan. Really. I still have the 12" singles, I still have a tour poster on my wall. But this album is a true stinker - I knew it when I was 19, and I know it now, 11 years later. The occassional good idea (ie. the great beat riff in the remix of "Violence of Summer," or that synth in "All Along the Water," or the guitar lick of "Read My Lips") ends up disappearing as every song, without fail, turns to mush. The ballads are overly weepy, the "nasty" songs just sound ridiculous. Others are pure ripoffs from popular songs of the time (ie. "Can You Deal With It?" is ripped off from a club hit of the time). This album proved that Duran Duran desperately needed another Nile Rodgers, someone who would curb their lousy instincts and play up their hooks. Thank goodness Duran Duran was able to get it back together in later years.

Well Designed
|
This is the second stand I had purchased. The first one was for me and the second for my son who is now taking lessons on guitar. It is light weight, easy to set up and take down. Liked the wide area for sheet music. Very inexpensive. One of the gismo that holds the sheet music keeps falling off on mine. Not a problem as I use a plastic clothes pin. I had noticed on my son's stand the gizmo is different and improved. Must have made changes in the design. This is an inexpensive stand and well done for the money. Obviously it needs care in handling, can't bang it around. I would certainly recommend this. I've had my stand for a couple of years.

Complete Saga DVD set?
|
How come there isn't a Complete Saga DVD set with all the extras of the BluRay set? Hundreds of thousands of us don't have, and probably can't afford, a BluRay player! I have many DVD's including all the SW ones (no extras like on the BluRay set), so why should I spend hundreds more dollars for BluRay? I'm a diehard SW fan (member of 501st, Rebel Legion, and R2 Builder's Club), but even this fan won't pay large sums of money just to convert from DVD to BluRay. There should be a complete DVD set!!! Period!!! And where's "Under the Dome" spoof? It's the best ever!! As for the Complete 3D set, it's coming next year (or so we hear). All the better extras will be on that set. I'm just not going to pay thousands of dollars for a 3D TV and wear goofy glasses I can't see out of anyway. I HATE 3D!!! Won't buy that set, either!!!

Less Than Brilliant
|
It says on the container for this video that it was brilliantly filmed by Bertrand Tavernier. My own view is that there must have been a lighting technician strike. Far from being brilliant the film I saw was dim to the point of obscurity. Many scenes might have been on the radio. This is not good cinema.One wants to see something discernible on the screen. Neither is there anything original about the story except for the eastern European setting.Yes there was a campaign in the Balkans in World War I. Yes French poilus fought there.Yes the Allies won the war. Yes there was an occupation after the war. And yes war brutalizes those who are in it. Kipling wrote a poem about the thin red line of heroes whose successful use of violence is prized in war and deplored in peace. This film doesn't tell us anything new about that. I don't think it could have been new to the French either.

Don't buy
|
First off, I bought this model when it was brand new several years ago. It was my first purchase of its kind. The sound quality was mediocre at best. I probably should have done my homework before hand. Within the first few weeks, the dvd open/close tray stopped functioning, dvds/cds would just spin and not play, or at times not spin at all. The Display light would dim and just flutter. When that happened, the system would not work at all. I could not turn it off. I would have to unplug the system and plug it back in. Eventually, the dvd/cds would not spin or load at all and the tray would function partially and become stuck in a quarter to half open position before it finally just stopped working all around. This system is garbage. I have spoken with multiple professionals who work on electronics and they all have said that the problems I describe are common with this model. DO NOT BUY IT!!! You'll be sorry.

I just wished SONY included this charger with my P200 !!!
|
I hope SONY will read this and start including this type of charger with their high-end cameras like Canon does! I was dismayed when I saw the HUGE charger that came with my SLEEK P200 ultracompact camera. The cord is at least 3 feet long! And it takes hours to charge. This charger takes 80 mins. I only gave it 4 stars because I didn't appreciated having to pay $50 for something that I feel should have been FREE. BUT it's a great charger. It simply plugs into an outlet and your battery is FULLY CHARGED in only 80 mins. Best of all, there are no long cords to have to store. This is so compact that you can carry it with you. Perfect for travel.

Ignore the Other Reviews - There Is a Bush Boom
|
It's obvious that the other reviewers have not read the book, and have not paid attention to the machinations of the Bush Administration. There has been a Bush Boom - it kicked in with the beginning of the tax cuts for the upper classes. Of course, this boom has been limited to prices of equities and commercial paper on the secondary market, luxury hard goods (yacht, anyone?), high-end travel and top-tier real estate. That's what's boomed - exactly as the President planned. And the authors, Msrs. Bowyer & Kudlow, are very happy, since they're big beneficiaries of this boom. How about you? Is there a boom for you too? Trickle-down economics (or do you say voodoo like GWB's poppy?) being what it is, well, who can say.

when rock was rock
|
Rock broke the mold with this album/CD. I first heard this when it was on vinyl back in 1980. We all knew, deep down in our bones, that were witnessing magic. Twenty-odd years later, it's obvious we were right. Compared to the crap called rock today, this CD is incredible. These guys today playing "heavy" rock are missing the one important thing that matters most-hooks! It's all about the songs, folks. None of AC/DC would win awards for being great musicians. But they perform enertaining music that "sticks to your ribs". They are The Beatles of hard rock!Every song here is a winner. Not to endorse drinking, but try not to slam a beer if this CD is playing! If you can, my hat's off to you. Own this piece of history!

A Brilliant new Adaptation
|
As a die hard Holmes fan since childhood and a great lover of the series with Jeremy Brett i was blown away by this bold new version of Sherlock. Finally a Sherlock who is the same age as i am. I am also an Advanced Placement English Lit teacher and i use the stories in my classroom all of the time. I would definitely use this series to introduce my students to the Doyle versions. Cumberbatch is fantastic in the title role and Freeman is wonderful as Watson. They bring enthusiasm and intelligence to the roles that is seen in few adaptations even the Guy Ritchie one, which i liked. Cumberbatch is more like the Sherlock of the books than Downey Jr. in the fact that he shows icy demeanor with loveable wit and intelligence at the same time. He physically looks more the part as well. This version is fast, funny and addictive. Highly recommended to fans of mysteries or Holmes in general. Buy it today!

Beautiful open tunings
|
This is a great book to get you going. You can learn somebasic alternating bass finger picking. The open tunings in this book sound beautiful. Don't be fooled, some of these songs can take a while to get down. Thats what is great here. Some songs are slow and easy, a few are fast and alittle harder. This is another book where the written musicand the cd match. This music is made to improvise too. The timing may throw you, but listen to the cd and you will be getting it down in no time. Open tuning is not just slide work. This book is beautiful!!!!!!!!

Beautiful piece!
|
I recieved this statue in great timing. I was thrilled to get it. I opened the box and found it not as I hoped. The statue was apart from the base, and the base had a large crack all the way across the bottom and up the sides. It looked as if it was done this way before it was even shipped. I was distressed. The damage is done. I decided to keep it. Being so cheap, what can I expect! Disappointed, yes! But I will try and mend it and save it. At least they sent it fast, and it was wrapped up good.

IMPOSSIBLE
|
It is 1 am and I have finally installed this gate so it will actually close. My hands are bright red and throbbing, and I have pulled out most of my hair. I cannot describe to you how difficult it is to get this thing installed so that it will latch closed. After I tightened it to the point of worrying about my drywall cracking, the latch was still a full inch from the frame. Are you kidding me? If only it were easier to return. It is now so tight that I am sure I have damaged the wall, and I wonder if I am skewing my whole stair banister from the pressure. A baby gate should not be this difficult to install. To get this gate to simply latch shut (which is somewhat important in a baby gate) you have to tighten the tension knobs well beyond what the skin of your hands can tolerate. I used rubber grips to help me, and ice packs in between efforts. Seriously. I would have much preferred to drill holes in my walls.

My review of this tent.
|
This is my first tent purchase, so I don't have anything to compare it to. Nonetheless, for $68.00 more than most of the competition, you get screenhouse walls. I would've prefered shade screen walls though. Matter of fact, I purchased two shade screens for this tent from Amazon after I bought the tent. They are a necessity in my opinion. I'll prolly' get two more... that way, I'll have enough for all four sides. This tent goes up quick and easily. So much so, that I don't have to use all the straps and ropes that are attached to it. I just prop it up and pop it open like an umbrella. The same goes for taking it down. One person can manage it, if you take your time. My only other concern is durability. I don't know how long this tent will hold up. I could be wrong, but I think the fabric could be thicker. For the price of this tent, the fabric should be thicker. Having said all that, I still like this tent and am happy with the purchase.

Inexpensive portable MP3 speakers
|
5/13/2012: UPDATE. I REALLY like the sound of these speakers so I bought another boom box. I use them only as speakers for my MP3 player or cell phone. For the price they cannot be beat. They will not win any beauty contests and are definitely not super portable but to take to the backyard, driveway, or garage they are great. Get a set before they are gone!I didn't buy this boombox with the intention of ever hooking it up to Sirius radio. Instead, I bought them as a set of cheap portable speakers to hook up to an MP3 player. I am sure the unit eats batteries so I've used it only plugged in but it serves it's purpose and sounds pretty decent for a $13 set of speakers. Not sure how good the quality will be as the connection on one of the two units that I ordered would not stay in place and only played out of one channel. The other one had a better fit and worked fine when secured with a piece of tape. Again, for the price I paid, I'm good wi3th it.

Incredibly imaginative fantasy thriller.
|
Wow. I can't believe The Scar hasn't been reviewed yet. Out of 5 China books (PSS, IC, C&C and Kraken), it comes in as a strong second behind Perdido. In fact, the two are almost neck and neck. Perdido probably just gets a sentimental first because it was my first China. The Scar flows beautifully and effortlessly, has great visuals and character development. Reels you in and won't let you go. And yes, the monsters (and the unique realms within which they dwell) really *are* cool. If you haven't read any China, go get yourself to the nearest bookstore and purchase Perdido & The Scar. Amazing Fantasy. Truly deserving of all the accolades.

.....A few word will suffice here: this book is a gutter raker and nothing more. A crying towl for all the inncocents of the 3rd world and 4th world who sit on their little thrones of garbage and blame the USA for not picking it up fast enough. Where was europe when kosovo was being destroyed? nowhere!! and who came to pull them out of their quandry..? The USA..Now this country is being blamed for being to rough, to Bad!! And where is europe when islamic killers blow up airplanes and synagogues? nowhere!!! Once again the europeans are afraid of offending their muslim masters (much like before the crusades). And, yes I am proud of our unilateralism, we are not an appendage of the UN with it's Treaty of the Month Club. Let's see how islam does with its honor killings and sharai before we sign away our rights with the weaklings of the world.

This is a bodice-ripper
|
Hamilton does love to write about sex.Throughout the Anita Blake books, she has used a lot of sexual tension, and Anita uses sex as a weapon. Fine. There has been plenty going on to carry it.But this one!I don't read "Romance" novels because I get bored with plot-lines that have little to offer beyond sex. And that's all this was. There were maybe fifty pages of actual action involved. The set-up was interesting; we have a princess in hiding, and her relatives are her most dangerous enemies. OOH! What a premise! But nothing happens!Our heroine does maybe four things in the entire novel. Beyond that, we have lots and lots and lots of sex. This was a yawner. I guess I'm just not enough of a voyeur to enjoy it.Don't buy this in hard bound. If you decide to buy it at all, school yourself to patience, because there isn't much plot here.

Spare ME!
|
Well if this is a classic then so could the Charlies Angel's movies. All the book consists of is a middle-class family in the south with a few weird neighbors. I mean come on. Who really cares about a little girl that goes around the neighborhood doing things like spying on her albino neighbor. If that makes a book a classic, shame on you. Atticus against all odds is always fair and never makes anyone mad. He deals with all disputes perfectly. A wee bit too good to be true. Don't you think? Finishing this book felt like the equivalent of fighting in World War II with nothing but an army of G.I. Joes. If you have been given this book as a present I give you my deepest condolences.

The difference between unrated and regular version
|
First of all let me say i really enjoyed this movie. Not like a regular slasher. Its very good. I actually seen it at the show. Now the main difference that no one has listed out of all these reviews is, just the ending. I didnt see any more gore than was at show. Something unrated doesnt always mean extra gore or sex. Anyway just the ending is different than one that was seen in US theatres. I wont spoil ending for you if you havent seen, but most know from youtube what its really suppose to be. Anyway pick this movie up and add it to your collection. Its a keeper!

Disappointing
|
This book is a total disappointment. I loved the "Highlanders" books and expected this book to be the start of another equally enjoyable series. No such luck! The main female character MacKayla Lane (O'Connor) is really boring and she rambles on and on about irrelevant rubbish. The book could have been condensed to half the size and still the reader would still not have missed anything of the essential plot. Mind you what Plot? That is also so thin I can't believe this is the same author who wrote the "Highlander" series. As for the main male character, Jericho Barrons, well he is totally unbelievable and certainly has no redeeming qualities. Maybe the next in this series will be better, who knows? All I know is I won't be buying it, maybe I will get it from the Library. I own all of the "Highlander" books but I won't be buying this series. I hope Karen writes some more of the "Highlander" books soon.

rapper to movie star to exec does not a soundtrack make
|
Eminem stars in the new movie 8 Mile under the direction of critically acclaimed director Curtis Hanson. Now only if the soundtrack was under the direction of a professional music executive. Instead we are given shameless filler promotion of Shady Records [with or without the promotion, the artists on it are likely to "Sell half" anyway, so why bother? Why not put some good rap music in? Old school songs that may have inspired Em? For rap and hip hop fans, Obie Trice has to be one of the worst debut rappers since, well...Bizarre. The production value is fair, and that's saying alot. The album doesn't much follow the movie [as Eminem had promised], and besides the lead single, there isn't much to look forward to. Hell, there's even a Macy Gray song [what was Em thinking?!] and a Boomkat [who???] song to fill up the rest of this lackluster. Burn it from the internet. Then tell me if it's "hot".

The video is decent. . ./ .85% If you like this album: Well you should get Blind Guardian's new album out by March (2002).
