Can I give it Negative Stars?
1 Star for this movie is way too generous. If you are considering watching this, remove all sharp objects from your home. I thought I had watched bad movies/acting before. This one has topped the chart. Highly disappointed in the cast of this film. How bad can it be you may ask? It is an experience in itself. All of the Actors appear to be trying to out act(epic failures all around) each other over a script (if that's what you call it) that would seem to be almost all improv. Very sad... very sad excuse for entertainment. Defies any near definition of entertainment. Save your time. Pass on this movie. IMO

Utter Garbage
Is it fair to write a review after reading only 150 pages? Well, I wanted to like this book. I gave it a shot, but 150 pages in, I couldn't take it anymore and abandoned it on the subway. It's utterly unintelligible. I got the basic gist, but I had no clue about the characters' motivations, their interactions, and I didn't like the fact that in the first 10 pages the author deluges us with something like a dozen characters, none of which I could tell apart, none of which I could understand and none of which I could care about. A great book should be at least a little accessible. The author might have something great to say, but if he can't say it in English, I don't see the point. It's like the Emperor's New Clothes. Everyone says it's a great book, but I'll bet a lot of those who do are only saying it because they're afraid to admit that Faulkner's too smart for them. Life is too short to read lousy books. Skip this one.

The Lucky One
I loved the book!! Loved is a small word, couldn't wait for it to be turned into a movie. Almost all of Nicholas Sparks' books turned out as great movies. When I finally got to rent this movie, I was disappointed. There was no chemistry between the characters, it looked like it was forced. Zac Efron was not the best person to play Thibult. He looked like a child with a mother lover. I was so not into the movie I even left the room from time to time not caring what happened. Biggest disappointment ever! Best book and worst movie remake!!

Love my laptop
This is my first laptop. My husband has one, but when I saw this little pink number, I had to have it. I took it on vacation with me and the hotel we stayed in had wi-fi. It worked great. Video is excellent and it is fast. I play World of Warcraft and Lord of the Rings on it. The only complaint I would have is the massive amount of junky software and basically what I would call ads that comes loaded on it. Took about half an hour to 45 minutes to get rid of it. However, that seems to be how all laptops come these days. My sister just bought a Toshiba and we spent a good half hour getting junk off of hers. All in all, this is a really nice laptop.

Disapointed
When I received this chair I was so disappointed. The reviews said the tray was small however I did not realize it would be so small that I could not fit a small bowl and a sippy cup on it. The plates I purchased for my son did not fit on it at all. The lift did not work well. I had to really push it hard for it to go down and pull for it to come up. the brake does not work if you have hard wood floors. It doesn't lock the wheels so the chair can still move freely. It is very cute. my son looked adorable in it but for the $$ I want a chair I will be able to use for a long time.************ pay attention to the return policy! I returned this item 3 weeks ago and still don't have my $$. They say it can take 4 weeks! ***************

Great idea in theory, see below:
Build your own patio furniture. While this sounds like a great idea, be mindful of the costs involved and also the longevity of the product.[...]Total cost: [...]- assuming you make no mistakes; and that the cost of the 2x4's are in this range. The problem I have with this is two-fold:1. 2x4 studs are not weatherproof. In time they will warp and crack and turn color. I would not consider pressure treated for obvious reasons and anything beyond that (Cedar, redwood or even the composite-plastic boards are phenomenally expensive). At that point, the price of this project will rival your aluminum patio tables.2. Maintenance - you will have to stain/weatherproof each year. These are added costs in maintaining the item.SUMMARY:Nice idea in theory. I love building things, however, save your money and INVEST a bit extra in an all aluminum patio table that will last a long time and not need continual maintenance.

Pure Junk....
Junk, Junk, Junk....I bought my first timer at a local store, started to use it in my meditation practice. The thing was never used in the kitchen, never dropped or exposed to water. Well...the display failed within two weeks. I then took it back to the store and they swapped it out without any hassle. However...~two weeks later...the display failed in this unit.My wife saw a nicer model made by the same company (Taylor), so I swapped the 2nd unit for that one. Guess what...the display worked just fine...but the timer chirped at the 5 minute mark...no matter what time was entered. (Strike #3 against the OEM.)My wife then contacted Taylor, and they sent us a replacement. However...when unit number 4 arrived...it had the same flaw as unit number 3!!!To make a long story short...look for a different brand than Taylor. I am very dissapointed with their product line.

Se7ens Travels
The new album from Ant&Slug (aka Atmosphere),Sevens Travels, is SICK! they killed this album. The lyrics are one of a kind just like the beats. Probably the most popular song on the album is "Trying to Find a Balance" this would be the one everyones been seeing on MTV2. Now anyone who thinks hes selling out...shut your mouth! hes still writting his own material, making his own beats. He's just trying to make sum cash for his kid!! HES NOT SELLING OUT! To anyone that likes up-beat hip-hop or some deeper meaning hip-hop, i HIGHLY recommend Sevens Travels. He throws sum humor into his lyrics with songs like "Shoes", "National Disgrace" My Favorites are: Trying to find a balance, reflections, gotta lotta walls, cats van bags, los angeles, shoes, national disgrace, always coming back home to you...so buy it and enjoy and i can GURANTEE that anyone who hears it will love it! peace!

The Bees Knees
AIEEEEE!!! My bees are attacking me! HELP! Just kidding. I read this book and found it really helpful. I am going to start my first hive with the Spring season. This book helped me understand how to care for bees on its various levels. Like anything else, please don't look for this to be the only bee book you are going to own. No book can do that task. Join a bee keeping club, read various books on the subject, and take the Bee keeping CD course. Get a Bee guide to teach you the ins and outs. Then you will have more sucess at bee keeping. AIEEEEE! Here they come again. Got to go! Read Hive Management: A Seasonal Guide for Bee Keepers! Maybe you will have more luck with bees than me! AIEEE!Ouch!!!

Sony Stinks Again!
Once again Sony is lagging from making good products. Sony used to be top of the line buy but has fallen further down the line as they think the name can sell their products. Sony products are "has been." They lack quality. My television lasted a little over four years and went out. The stand by light blinks 9 times and the tv never turns on. If you do any research this is a common issue Sony buyers have. The worst part is there is nothing we can do. The part is no longer made. Their suggestion was to have a repair man come out and see what they can do. Yeah!!! Thanks for nothing! Buy that time, I can purchase a much better tv from Samsung or Panasonic and spend the same amount for a newer better tv and guaranteed to have it work!!! Thanks again for nothing Sony!!!

Forget the Movie!
The last James Bond to come even CLOSE to Ian Fleming was Thunderball. Ever since, the only thing in common with the Fleming novel's was the title. Readers of Live and Let Die will scratch their heads and wonder WHY Bond doesn't run across the heads of alligators. A good description of 50's Harlem, and how close friends Bond and Leiter are is revealed.There are several story-lines in this book that carried over to the Bond movies. Bond and Soliatire being dragged through the ocean is duplicated in For Your Eyes Only. Leiter being eaten by a shark, and Bond's retaliation is duplicated in License Renewed. Each Bond novel refers to the previous one. Leiter refers to Casino Royale. Live And Let Die is referred to in ? You need to read that one! Moonraker.

Just like #30
Y'know, when I first heard about #30, I'm like "cool,". I bought it (I buy every single one, whether it sounds interesting or not) and I read it. Sure, it had it's funny moments, but I wasn't exstatic about it. Sorry, I usually love Animorphs, obsessed, even, I really do (hehe, you should see my walls, Aniposters GALoRE!), but that was just...boring! I became angry when I read #31. It was the same thing! The only real differences was that the main character was Jake and the parent-in-danger was his father and wasen't a known-controller. Ms/Mrs Applegate. If you're reading this, I'm really sorry. I understand the message you may have been trying to give (family is importent, things are harder when you're so closely involved etc.) and you did it, but those books just didn't live up to the other Animorphs books. I must admit, however, I am looking forward to #32 The Seperation. It's a completely different plot. :-)

for home espresso, why would you NOT buy this?!
wow! what an amazing stovetop espresso maker. i've been using the 3-cup for a few weeks and my only regret is not having bought this thing sooner.i've been wanting an espresso maker, but was hesitant to get a big machine because of the associated price and hassle of using one. i'm so glad i finally heard about the moka express. it's easy to use, a snap to clean and DIRT FRICKEN CHEAP compared to even the low-end espresso machines. i think the espresso it makes is awesome. maybe a $2k+ espresso machine might make a slightly better shot, but i can't imagine it being that much better.now i can enjoy lattes at home, rather than dropping $3-$4 at a coffee shop. just brew and pour into hot microwaved milk. so simple and so GOOD.just to prevent any confusion, "3-cup" does not mean 3 actual standard cups of coffee! it's more like the amount of shots of espresso it makes. 3-cup makes 3 shots worth of espresso, 6-cup makes 6 shots, etc.

John!.. What Happened!
Ok it gets 2 stars. I like Korn.. I really really do. But I'msorry, I was not happy at all with this album. First of all, I realizethat a band must evolve and change, and with them, their music. However, I find that the music on this CD is not evolved at all, it is manufactured. It's like this, the first album is great, Life is Peachy was great too, follow the leader was my favorite, and Issues is, well, a disappointment. I guess the guys got caught up in the success and were in a rush. So they pumped out a sell out, ( ) rushed album. If you just love Korn, or perhaps buy music because other people think it's cool, this is a record for you. But if you actually like to 'listen', I don't think you'll be enjoying more than 2 or 3 songs. Sorry Mr. Davis. Spend a few more months next time. END

If Garth Nix Smoked Crack, This Would Be the Result
This was by far the most bizarre book I've ever read. I began reading it, expecting a dark fantasy similar to Garth Nix's work. I was obviously mistaken. What I really ended up reading was what could be passed off as a Garth Nix crack-smoking fantasy. It made very little sense, and in some places made no sense at all. It reminded me of the strangeness of Alice in Wonderland. Usually I keep an open mind about different styles of writing, but this was just plain weird. Many reviews said this book is frightening, so I expected to get some thrills and chills out of reading it. Neil Gaiman tries very hard to freak me out, but does not succeed. The most chilling part of the entire book was the illustrations, which were disturbingly creepy. By the time I finished reading the book, I closed it wondering what, exactly, had just happened.

Leaves film.
This is my first review. I read a lot of negative reviews and a lot of positive. More positive than negative, and I decided to take a chance.I tried it with my eye glasses, (not a camera lens). My experience was very disappointing. I agree with everyone who said that it leaves a film. I used a brand new micro fiber cloth with the spray. It took a lot of spraying and wiping but always left a film. I tried just using the cloth alone and it worked better but still left a film and one or two smears. I decided to try using the cloth first and then the spray, and finish up with the cloth. It still did not work. Nothing I tried worked and I tried a lot. This product just does not work for me. I definitely will not recommend it.

A pain to deal with
The sound quality is good, but it is about the same as the free headset that comes with the Xbox 360 premium. The good thing about it is that it has no wires, but that is about it. The first thing I noticed was that the earpiece seemed a little strange. It was not overly comfortable, but was tolerable. The main problem is that it keeps un-synching from my Xbox. When I looked in the instruction book, it says that this will interfere with wireless LANs. So, what's the point? If it will interfere with your wireless LAN, then is this just for people that have their Xbox wired directly? I used this headset for two hours and was disconnected 5 times to where I had to stop what I was doing and re-synch. I do not recommend this product at all. Mine is definitely going back to the store.

Superb Product! Best Coffeemaker We've Owned!
This is the second DCC-1000 coffeemaker we've owned, and it's the best coffee-brewing machine we've ever had!Our first DCC-1000 lasted years and years, and in fact, never actually "quit" on us -- it was just SO old that we were a bit concerned about it overheating and causing problems. :) [The plastic in the base, around the metal hot plate, had begun to crack and decay a bit. It might have eventually failed and caused a serious problem.]We keep this machine on and running between 12 and 14 hours per day, seven days per week, and it performs flawlessly!The carafe does NOT drip when you fill the reservoir! Huzzah! The clock does NOT gain or lose time as the weeks and months pass! Huzzah! The machine keeps the coffee piping hot for up to four hours! Huzzah! Honestly, it's just about ideal.Compared to a Mr. Coffee or some lesser brand, this product is HEAPS better. It's a great product, a great machine, and I recommend it without hesitation or reservation!

Wonderful Movie for All Ages. Very Inspiring
Fantastic movie to see again and again. This movie is not just about a spelling bee. It shows real people in everyday life and the emotional situations that we encounter and how to deal with them. The Peaceful Warrior is another that you can't turn off until it is finished, and extremely inspirational. I was stimulated to see it because I use to like to participate in spelling bees myself. All of the actors and actresses are superb. The director could not have picked better people to play the parts. Akeelah is soooooooo cute. You will easly fall in love with her and the part that she plays. I have printed all of the reviews and have enjoyed reading all of them. I will not go into details about the movie itself, but see for your self. Be sure to see the Special Features,they are very worthwhile, as with most movies. This is a 10 star movie.

Even Bowser the dog could read this!
I could not believe how elementary, basic and useless this book is. The only people I can think of that could make any use of this book at all are folks who do not have any etiquette skills and barely know what an email is. This book makes such earth shattering suggestions as not to write threatening emails or emails about insider information. Wow, there's something I'm glad I read about. Also, A large section of the book is spent explaining what the difference between CC: and To: is. Long discussions ensue on explaining both CC: and To:. I bought this book expecting a wealth of material on emailing for the average person and have instead found not one paragraph of useful information. For the first time I am returning a book to Amazon. Dreadful, absolutely dreadful. Even sixth graders are too advanced for this book's contents. I sorely wish I could give less than one star- this book has my complete disdain.

rock-a-bye boovy
What can be said about this movie? OK there is a script not a very good one, not very predictable but sadly not very interesting. This movie is prometted as a good supernatural thriller. Like all thriller it is between good and evil or good and bad (you pick and am not doing it for you). It's so hard to review this movie. First Kim Basinger ,Jimmy Smits Rufus Sewell and specialy Christina Ricci are all very good. The problem is that even with those great actor the movie is just boring ,you go from scene to scene and become less and less interested you get to a stage where you loose all interest and just hope that it will end soon so you can go to bed. So in my professional opinion do not waste your time looking at this movie just go to bed and nice dreams. P.S. the 2 stars are for the actor not the movie !!!!!

Terrible
I bought one of these at a Dick's Sporting Goods. The button mechanism did not work properly. The alarm could not be turned off (every night at 1:00am - BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!) I had to leave it in the garage so it didn't wake me up. When using the timer (that is if you can caress it into timer mode), it sometimes actually starts and stops when you push the button. Anyway, I took it back to the store and they replaced it. The new one worked better for about a week, now it also has all the same problems. So, I am here on Amazon to order a new one and Mr. Sportline is going in the dumpster! Too bad I can't give it a NO STAR rating.

This book changed my life!
Dr. Richard Eby has experienced many miracles in his life. But his story of life after death changed my life. He falls off a balcony and splits his head open. They rush him to the hospital and thinking he is dead they sew his head up without cleaning the wound. God shows him a glimpse of heaven. Afterwards he cannot remember the the fall. Later God lets him relive the fall to be able to tell others about the experience. A few years later while visiting the Holy Land. He enters the Tomb of Lazarus and everything goes dark. God speaks to him and tells him that he showed him a glimpse of heaven, now he will show him a glimpse of hell. His story is amazing! I saw him on a television show telling his story in 1979. I then went out and bought his book. It gave me the desire to start reading my Bible. Which is the greatest book of all!

The Real Mr. Bond
When I was growing up in the 80's I was told that the worst James Bond movie ever was OHMSS with George Lazenby, so I always thought so. When i finally saw the movie I realized it was one of the best. George Lazenby was the ideal model for Bond. He did a great job period. He was never given a fair shot at the position.Telly Savalas was Blofeld. All Blofelds before and after were weak next to him. He was smart, scary, and active. He did not just give orders, he was part of the chase, a true villian.Diana Rigg was not a Bond Girl, she was a true heroine. She was smart, sexy and her own woman. The chemistry between Lazenby and Rigg was there on screen.The soundtrack is what makes this movie. When you hear the music when Bond is being chased you feel as if you are there. This is one of the best Bond soundtracks.Sean Connery is best Bond because of the body of his work. Maybe Bond would not have turned into camp with DAF and the Roger Moore Bonds if Lazenby had stayed.

Tiresome!
Although Angela's Ashes was interesting and different ( although I still can't see the humor in it ) it was pathetic and pitiful.'Tis is just pathetic and pitiful. I don't think this book really added anything to Frank McCourt's story. The only scene that really touched me was when he was in the army and ended up at the ovens of Dachau. From there on it just seemed to drone on about the same thing. How he didn't know how to be a clerk/teacher/husband/father until I was just tired of the whole thing and wanted it to be over.He didn't even know how to be Irish but he did know how to drink and drink . . .Also, it's amazing that he taught in our high schools for 30 years but never seemed to know how to teach. I kept waiting for the big revelation of how he mastered the art of teaching but that never happened.Seems like 'Tis is just a rehash of Angela's Ashes and not a very good one either . . .

Great Value
I was looking for an inexpensive photo printer. I had taken thousands of digital photos and never printed any of them! I just dont have time to go to a printing place, or even to deal with a place like snapfish, which incidentally, seemed like it could get pretty expensive. So I decided to give this Epson a try based on all the great reviews and on Consumer Reports liking this Epson series. I am extremely pleased. Set up and installation was quick and easy. I print my pictures through windows XP explorer and it is as easy as can be. My pictures are beautiful! I am amazed that I can produce these photos at home! I have heard this printer can get expensive to maintain, as far as paper and the special ink, but it still seems worth it to not have to go to a store or deal with yet another internet company. I couldn't be more pleased.

So far, so good.
Just purchased this 4 days ago. My daughter is very tall for 3.5, so we no longer fit in the belts of a car seat. I had a car seat that was a convertible, but due to the bulkiness of the car seat, I have given that to my husband and I took the new seat.Great price. Easy to assemble. Fits in the car nicely. Reading lights are a great idea. Many times my daughter wants the car's interior lights on while I am driving - so we will be using these. Also, now that it's not so bulky, she can do the seatbelt herself. The other seat, she could only undue it, which wasn't the safest. It is much easier for me now that she can buckle herself in.My only gripe so far and it has nothing to do with the seat itself - is that I am not ready for my daughter to wiggle her way out of the seat while I am driving - which she pulled last night. This is more of a behavior issue, but I am thinking they should be able to design something to prevent this from happening.

Little ladybug sandbox
I noticed that this ladybug sand box only had 3&1/2 stars and the others all had 5. I felt a need to speak up. We bought this sandbox for our first son when he was three. We lived in an apartment with a small back patio. It was perfect, not too big but still room for a toddler or two to sit in it and play. He played for hours!! Now 5 years later, his little brother loves it and my first son, almost 9, still plays with the little one in it. It still looks brand new, nestled under the tree in our big back yard. It's really great just smaller than the others. We have since given this for every two year old birthday present we've bought! I highly recommend it!

Go buy it NOW!!
After a blissful week one of life with a sleeping baby, week two brought a new baby all together. We called her our little monster. Well luckily, we heard about this DVD and ran out and bought it after two days of monster behavior. WOW, it works instantly. I am so impressed. The longest period of time she cries is about 5 minutes. It is truly amazing. We use the radio between am stations which also works wonders and have ordered a white noise machine that we are still waiting for. It is so nice to know you can calm your baby in any setting and not have to worry about a meltdown lasting what seems like hours in public. We also have been following a baby whisperer/babywise type routine which is basically every 2-3 hours feed, a little activity time up to 45 minutes and then putting her to bed before she gets tired ie at the first sign of fatigue and she is on a pretty good routine, which I think is great at just 2 1/2 weeks of age!!

Lots of compatability problems
This product never loaded properly. It depends on a very old version of Quicktime (2.x). With this version it still generates a DLL error. The newer Quicktime 5.0 version generates an unable-to-open window message. Old and new versions of Quicktime can't co-exist on my Win98SE system. The worst part was the tech. support, or lack of it. Spent hours on line (total over several days) and never talked to a human. I never hung up on the line, it always cut me off after 20 minutes or so. Very frustrating. This dependence on obsolete software and further lack of technical support means that I must recommend that you don't buy this product.

Filthy and pornographic
I picked this up this book on CD for $3.97 at Goodwill. I got robbed. This book isn't worth a penny. What was wrong with this book? Where to start...what wasn't wrong?I am no prude AT ALL. But I found this book to be pornographic to the point that it made my skin crawl. And since it was a book on CD, I couldn't skim the crude and vile sexual descriptions in the book. I had to just sit there and listen to every gag reflex invoking word. I finally chose to just stop listening to the book. I didn't get through more than a few CD's.Another problem was that the characters are not in the least believable. They are all cardboard cutout characters with one-dimensional personalities.This book is no more or less well written than any typical harlequin romance novel. If that is your type of reading material, well, damn, somewhere in the world a worthwhile human being is starving to death in a third world country and you aren't. Almost makes you wonder if there is a God.

Okay Movie But Worthy Hip Hop History Piece
Spike Lee turned down this script.... That says it all. But I still wish it would be released on DVD. I think it's still a Hip Hop historical piece from that era. Shame it only grossed less than a million. Probably cost a million to produce though. They should have promoted this a little bit more. I recall reading about significant delays with this movie being released and problems on the set with Rick Rubin. It should have been a better movie with the caliber of rap stars they had. But by 1988 Run-DMC's fame was wading and their careers were starting to fade out a little in the late '80s. Nowadays, 50 cent gets a 30 million dollar movie budget and top notch promotion on all these shows and magazines. They could have done a little better with this one.

WASNT THAT GREAT WAS IT?
I bought this much anticipated dvd from one of my favorite party hard rock bands of my era, the 70's. Yes I know the history and know all about Savoy Brown etc. I had Energized, Rock and ROll Outlaws, Night Shift, Fool for The City, Live, Boogie Motel and loved all the radio hits. BUT, this cd was just so so. It was dark, too dark, the 1 or 2 cameras were far away, and whats up with that huge fat guitarist? Jeeez, I have a problem with that too. I need to have a great light show for a live concert. I really didnt hear any "Jams," it was just the songs but with a live crowd. Why didnt they work the crowd? It seemed like they were tired and just wanted to finish the set. I was extremely upset because I know it could have been better. Well, at least the Joe Satriani Live from San Fran was %100 pure 'My Style.' Sorry Foghat but this dvd could have been better. (And I hope that huge guy loses some weight, he looks bad.)

Beautiful, Melodic, Relaxing
I like falling asleep to relaxing music. I was listening to LiquidMind CDs, but they got on my nerves after a while because they're too astral and airy sounding and move at a snail's pace. Land of Forever is EXACTLY what I was looking for. The compositions are beautiful and very melodic. You can hum to them. They're memorable. Listen to it on a good player and the bass tones are deep and very moving. For some reason the first trac reminds me of that George C Scott movie Islands In The Stream. That song is the perfect background music for the end of a sunny tropical day. Warm, nurturing, calming, all's good in the world. I LOVE this CD. I'm going back for more by this group.

The PS 6 Bible is a fat disappointment
I prefer to use software books as references. Many of the "Bible" books are really useful this way. But in order for that to be so, the book has to have a decent index. This "Bible" fails miserably on that count. An example: I tried to look up "Acrobat" to see if I could save a file in the PDF format from Photoshop. Adobe Acrobat files are a standard in the publishing industry these days. There is actually a page and a half in the Bible on saving as a PDF, but there is no entry for "Acrobat" or "Adobe Acrobat" in the skimpy index. The last "Photoshop Bible" that I bought was for PS 3. A lot has changed in the program since then. Versions 5, 5.5, and 6 of PS have all been major revisions, but there is relatively little new material in the PS 6 Bible compared to the PS 3 Bible. Save your money.

A Lost Time
1984, the last album by the original Van Halen lineup, went over big. The song 1984/Jump was a landmark in rock history. This was some great keyboards, Van Halen wasn't a stranger to them. "Panama" was next. The slowdown near the end should go on longer as you "ease the seat back". "Top Jimmy" is a straight forward, at The Hop kind of Van Halen's version of "Johnny Be Goode". I haven't poured over the rest much. "Hot for Teacher" and "I'll Wait" were popular. It was on the pop rock/hard rock border of an album. These "monsters" of rock were getting more polished, it seems to always happen. Van Halen I and II seemed like a phase they were going through now. But 1984 left a lot to the imagination of what they would sound like now if they'd stayed together. They surely would have done somewhere around 10 more albums by now. But sometimes even the love of rock doesn't keep a band together. This group kept a pace going like no other set of musicians may ever equal.

Why do people like this?
I don't understand why this has so many positive reviews. This movie is so bad i could not finish it. Thats saying alot because i sat all the way threw Ghosts of Girlfriends Past. There are no big name actors in this movie. I'm not saying you need a Will Smith or Tom Cruise but maybe it would have helped. These actors seem like complete amateurs. The main character is this realy boring little man. I read a 5 star review that admitted that the main character was very hard to like. If you believe that then why would you give it 5 stars? Even the aliens don't seem very intriguing. I gave it 2 stars because it does try to tell a decent story. It just fails everytime that it tries. Watch this at the risk of being bored out of your mind!

Keep Looking
I got this originally for my 5 year old who is now 12. He played with about 20 minutes then its over and forgotten about. Then we had two more kids, a boy and a girl. Girl is 6 now and boy 5. Same deal they pretty much think awesome....for 20 minutes then forgotten about. It doesn't keep kids attention very long. To me it seems like a such a cool toy but the proof is in the pudding as they say and I have now tried it on all three kids and its a no-go, now headed for yard sale or sale online. Very disappointed in, considering the price. Keep your money and keep looking. All three of my kids have loved legos and the little lego action figures. We would have done much better getting legos instead of this. Same for the Robosapien, we tried it too and for our kids neither one was a hit. If you do decide to try it and your kids don't play with it much, don't keep it like I did thinking maybe 'later' they will play with it more because mine never did.

Awesome metalica album
many people say metalica sold out with this album. thats partially true. but giving this a good listen its not a bad album at all in fact its excellent. enter sandman and nothing else matters are two metal classics. sad but true is as heavy as damage inc. the unforgiven is an enjoyable listen. and the god that failed and the struggle within are good as well. so while half the album is forgetable filler. the other halif is required listening. so if youre wondering if you should get the black album i say GO FOR IT. The music you will hear here will be well worth it. the brawny guitar solos. beautifal singing stiring melody and great songwriting all add up to a classic metalica album.

LAPD and their latest string of crimes
Poor Mendoza. Just when he was getting used to the new dog, a mockingbird shows up that seems stuck on the song Yankee Doodle. Work isn't much better, since a string of odd crimes has the Homicide Squad baffled. A con man was shot in a car and manages to scribble the word "Jewels" before dying. An old woman was killed in some sort of voodoo ritual. Another old woman running a boarding house was killed. The crimes just keep piling up.I like these books, but they do have a few problems. One is that the author tries so hard to make each character an individual that they wind up being more like stereotypes than real people. Another is that they are really dated. This was published in 1969 and slang and cultural trends have changed a lot in over 30 years. Still, it's a good read for anyone who likes police procedurals.

Not that kind...anymore
Man, she's not that kind anymore. I remember i saw her for the first time on the MTV show: The Cut, and she was great! I never heard anything from her until this, and i'm fairly dissapointed. I've only listened to the songs available on this site. What happened? Where's the pizzazz? I mean, this album sounds like a flop. I suggest more dance, more attitude and better production! Geez. i feel let down. i give her 1 star for effort...

Do Something Else Instead !!
Oh my God, why doesn't Amazon let you award zero stars ? If it wasn't bad enough that you can catch this rubbish while channel surfing, you can now buy it ?! Why would you ? I mean why .... WHY !!! The laughs are fake, the acting is incredibly bad and the scripts have no storyline to them. The only people who would buy this dross are either masochists (if they watch it themselves) or sadists (if they're buying it for someone else - presumably they're worst enemy). Stop sponsoring this formulaic, production line garbage and watch something innovative and original instead. Or at least something with a story to it. I don't know .... even Lazytown would be better than this !!!

Don't Buy It
I got this free from a family member who knows nothing about cell phones. It drops calls everyday. It loses the signal all the time; even when it is just sitting idle. I don't know who is worse, Nextel or Motorola. I have Verizon, but the bill is always high. I recently got T-Mobile and they are the only ones who charge long distance. I've had cell phones since 1999 (now 2005) and I NEVER paid long distance before. All of the above mentioned companies have absolutely HORRIBLE customer service. They lack severely in that area. They don't answer emails--that is, if you can find an email address on their website; they keep you on hold, and when they answer they have no idea what they are talking about or what their company sells. They don't care about you, the only care about your money. Be careful with cell phones and usage. Buyer beware.

Apollo 18
I did not see this movie at the theater but only on regular DVD. I regret not seeing it on the big screen. I am not sure why the harsh reviews. Ok, it may not be Aliens, but I thought for a popcorn muncher, Apollo 18 goes down fine. I enjoyed the camera work -- as a teen in that era, the footage looked real enough to me. It made the movie more believable and realistic. People complain about the lack of action. These guys are on the moon . . . in a small modular device. There was hardly room to move and was only designed to be in it for about two days. You gonna run from giant CG monsters -- where you gonna go? It either gets you quick, tears up the ship, kills everybody (only 2 people) or you just let the drama unfold. I thought the movie did it. Half-way through, I though it was spooky and developed a mood of dread. I thought the end was only OK, nothing spectacular, but, still, I thought it was enjoyable and brought the movie to a fine conclusion. I will recommend it to friends.

Good game though a bit overhyped..
Graphics wise, it's nowhere near the quality of Onimusha, Ico, or FFX. The stores and such look rather bland. You can't even enter them so it seems lacking in that you can't raise hell inside the stores as well. However, this game takes off in terms of action once you've got 10 or more gang members/corporation members on your tail and you manage to pick up the shotgun or grenade launcher. There's lots and lots of weapons to pick up from tasers, axes, pepper spray, swords, Ak-47's, Uzis, shotguns, grendade launchers, etc. The action gets intense as you try to accomplish your next mission while you've got bogies on your tail, bystanders in the way, and a loaded weapon in your hands. What to do? What to do? Well, anything you want. That's what. Gameplay isn't very original or deep. It's just basic, mindless fun with replay value accomplished by trying to unlock other characters and areas.

Morrison Rated Way Too High
If Morrison had not won the Nobel Prize there is no way that Paradise would have garnered an even adequate review. Paradise is a disjointed and erractic book. Morrison takes the liberty of inventing a 'style' that would have had a new author rejected by any publisher. It is not literature. Paradise is no more than a collection of words. Morrison is a wonder with descriptive phrases but she is not a wonder with a narrative tale. She simply, as another reviewer put it, can not get 'to the point'. Paradise is not worth the time, the effort or the money. If it becomes required reading in any class; it will be because the instructor does not like the students. It is simply awful. Morrison peaked before the Nobel and she is now on a downward slide.If her name did not sell the book Paradise would have come and gone off the shelves quickly.Give me Saramago, Ha Jin or Grass any day. They not only understand literature - they can write it. Morrison can not.

It's about time for you to go....
Yes, please retire. Jay-Z has got to be one of the most overrated artists of the decade, and the Black Album is continuing the trend. First of all, Jay-Z pulled out alot of big names for production on this album. The result: it sucks. I've never heard a weaker collection of beats than throughout this entire album and from Just Blaze and Kanye West just to name a few. As far as the lyrics go, they're not not too bad, but not really anything all that special either. He's still talking about the same thing: nothing and/or himself. And with the whack beats the lyrics are over, the results are painful to listen to at times. Fade to black is right. This is the end of a career that started off great and went down from there. Listen to some old Jay-Z and compare....Dangermouse did a great job with the beats on his remix album if you want to hear the Black Album lyrics with good production however.

NOT the phone for those who love to text
This phone is driving me insane! I haven't had any serious problems with this phone, but it does have one serious pitfall. It's SLOW!!!!! It takes a second to type in a letter and the "predictive input" is frustrating. It has also shut down TWICE because i had been typing too fast on the AIM program. lame!!!Everyone who is drawn to the value, camera, and color BEWARE of what lies beneath. Try it out first. Enter a number, or send a text messege.I havent had problems with T-Mobile yet, although the service is "area-consicous." you have to check to see if it works well in your area before you buy it or esle you might find yourself stranded w/o service.also, certain things to this phone dont seen intuative to me. quite unrefined.

don't sell any non-working item
I bought Logitech 970155-0403 about a month ago. It was not a new one but I thought it at least works. But, I was wrong. It does not work. I have tried with three different computers but I don't think it is computer problem but the item which I bought from Amazon. I feel like I am a jerk. I paied for nothing but a garbage. I hope that this kind of thing never happen again in amazon. I have been buying many items from amazon. Everything was good until now. I feel very bad... this time.

Here We GO AGAIN!!! RELEASE DIFFERENT ONES
Well Warner is releasing duplicate episodes again. why don't they put all the scooby-doos out. They have 5 DVDs of cartoons out and Hassle in the Castle is on 3 of them. 3 out of the 4 episodes on this DVD are already on DVD. I don't think anyone should pay 15 dollars for only episode that isn't released yet!!!I am getting the other ones that are coming out though. So in short I don't reccommend this to anyone. Not only that, they are wasting a whole DVD for only 4 eps. 3 of which are already out. They should release different ones like Terror in the Big Top, Dr.Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde and other ones from the series. They should release Scooby Movies with Speed Buggy and Josie and the Pussycats. In short I'll just say I am sick of duplicate Scooby episodes.

Very strong and well built.
I have been working out for over 10 years now and know which equipment works best. I haven't been able to go to the gym as much so I went to Big 5 and bought the basic ab roller for $30. After using it for about a week I returned it. The cheap ab roller was very light and moved around while I did the exercises and it was uneven and leaned to the left as I lifted up. Then I did some reseacrh and decided to purchase the club pro. Right alway I knew this was a strong machine by the weight of the trainer. It is much smoother and the extra weight makes the workouts a little harder, you will feel the burn much more then the basic ab roller. I use to use this one at 24 hour fitness but it disappeared one day. I really recommend this product. The downside is that its expensive and a little uncomfortable, i'm 5'10 and my arms barely reach the arm rest. I don't really use the arm rest so I don't mind it. If your a small person under 5"8, this machine will be to big for you.

nice idea poorly executed
They are too big to not move all over the place. Very bulky "pad" inserts are really a 9x6 piece of cloth like a baby bib?? that you have to fold in half 2x and put in these holder things on top and bottom. Very bulky. I'm 5.8 and large boned too, I can't imagine a petite person using these. They feel like diapers. I'm going to try another brand that has a contoured shape that would actually snap securely to the crotch of panties. There is so much room where they attach the whole thing could spin around. It's not any more secure than putting a wash cloth in your underpants. Boo. And expensive too.

Did not work at all.
Not sure what optical audio cable everybody else received, but the one I received did not work. The coupling was loose, so I had to use tape to hold it into the jack. It was falling out otherwise. Even holding it in with tape, it simply did NOT work. No sound....nothing. I had to resort to using red/white audio cables instead. I'll shop for an audio optical cable that I have on another application that DOES work. What a disappointment. This cable (and a duplicate I ordered) are going in the garbage. It isn't even worth my time to try and return them. They're WAY TOO CHEAP and worthless.

Holy clunker of a film, Batman!
I was seriously shocked at how leaden and uninteresting this film was. I've been a fan of Cronenberg for many years and have liked quite a few of his films. I've also always respected Jennifer Jason Leigh and Jude Law. This film, though, was laughable. The dialogue was awkward, the acting was empty and the story was just strange without creating anything intruiging. I cannot believe the people writing reviews comparing this to The Matrix and calling it a "smarter version". Smarter how? Not even close. and the Matrix is not even a great film in it's own right - but compared to this, it is. A better film than both of these (which both films steal from, liberally) is Alphaville. Rent the Criterion edition and you'll know what I mean.

All Ray, All the Time . . .
What's he say? For black folks, white folks, grey . . . didn't matter to Ray. His gift and talent will be sorely missed. What a voice, what songs! Brother Ray was the inspiration for my starting an R&B group in LA back in '91. We jokingly wished for a radio station to play "all Ray, all the time." We didn't get that wish but we did learn "Shoulda Been Me" and "Let's Get Stoned." My warmest thoughts and prayers go out to Ray up there in that "Big Jam in the Sky," and to Ray's family. What a treasure-trove of sweet music he gave us! God bless Ray Charles!

Good for a month
Like every new mom, I was unsure what type of bottle to use. I bought the gift set. I used the bottles for about a month. It did help with air intake but was horrible in every other way. The seal at the bottom never sealed right. I boiled them every week like recommended. Everytime I fed my daughter, formula would leak. I started to use the normal Evenflo bottles like my mom used. They work great. My daughter is now 5 months old and has less problems with gas now then when she was younger. Due to the bottle, I don't know. But I think these bottles are a waste of money!

Trapeze
This is one of my top 10 favorite movies. Burt & Tony do a lot of the actual trapeze work without stunt players. By the way, Tony Curtis's real nanme is Bernie Schwartz. Bernie...just like me. And Jamie Lee Curtis is his daughter. Anyway...this is indeed a great movie. Not just for the movie, but the music soundtrack is just as impressive.

Works great, easy install
I've installed these on about 9 cabinets at daycare. The first one took a while but after that the installs were quick. Installation is super easy. They provide a self stick template. First you uncover the #1 tape and stick it to the frame. Mark where the two screws go. Uncover the #2 tape and close the door. Open the door and the template is stuck to the door. Mark the 4 screw holes and the hole for the metal peg. Remove the template. Drill the hole for the metal peg. Put the lock on the door and screw it down. Install the catch on the frame. Done!Very simple, and no problems with alignment.

The Original Who At Work
It seems like a lot of the Who material out there is not entirly the original band. The "Live at the Royal Albert Hall" CD and DVD, the "Live in Boston" DVD, "The Who Rocks America" VHS. Very little is officially available that features the original band. Thankfully, this is one that does. Recorded at Leeds University in 1970, this is certainly one of the Who's best live efforts. Keith Moon's drumming is such that no one can match. And I think the added tracks are a real treat. They are only further evidence that the Who is a great rock band. The CD opens with a great version of "Heaven and Hell." This is followed up by favorites such as "Substitute," "I Can't Explain," and "My Generation." For me the standout of the album is a terrific version of "Summertime Blues." I also recommend the Isle of Wight CD or DVD. The Who rock on and on.

terrible writing
Forget the plot. Forget the questionable facts. Forget the wooden characters and stiff dialog. Forget the terrible copy editing.Forget all that and what remains is terrible writing. Confiscate this man's thesaurus!Here are a couple of excerpts to illustrate my point:"Rennes was clearly not a night place. Bolted doors and shuttered windows lined the way. The restaurant, bookstore, and kiosks were all closed. Darkness sheathed the lane in deep shadow. The wind murmured beyond the walls lke a soul in pain. The scene was like something from Dumas, as if life here spoke only in whispers."or"They followed her inside and Malone took in the expensive Italian chests, rare armored knights, Spanish torch holders, Beauvais tapestries, and Femish paintings. Everything seemed a cavalcade for the connoisseur."Maybe it's actually a comedy.

I love The Lion King!
I remember when The Lion King first came out, I was in Kindergarten and I went to the drive-in with my family to see it. I loved how fun it was, but didn't yet realize how emotional it was. Now that we got it on Blu-Ray for the 20th anniversary, I really appreciate the production as a whole. The music, the characters, the emotions, friendship, pride, etc. Everything about this movie is top-notch. Now, my two kids enjoy it too. Maybe one day, they'll enjoy it as much as me. :)Also, I got this delivery WAY sooner than I expected. I ordered a CD from someone else online 3 weeks before I ordered The Lion King and I got The Lion King a week before the CD. Very pleased with delivery. 5 Stars for Delivery, 4 stars for the movie.

Classic Rock At Its BEST!!
I have collected a great number of CD's and vinyl's over the years and I have to say I have a very eclectic collection. But (...here's the "but"..) AMPLIFIED is the best investment I have ever made to add to my collection of classic rock. It just doesn't get any better than the original recordings of the Kinks, Spencer Davis Group, Jefferson Airplane with the fabulous Grace Slick!! "Love Hurts" by Nazereth and Joe Walsh's "Rocky Mountain Way" brought back soooooo many memories. Cat Stephens "Peace Train" always makes me shed a tear of joy. "American Woman" just rocks!!! Lenny Kravitz did a good job re-recording it, but no one will ever touch the original "Guess Who" recording. If these are the songs you love and wouldn't mind hearing them over and over and over (you could do much worse..), then you must by this 2 CD set. It truly represents some of the very best of classic rock. It's timeless. You won't regret it!

Why did I wait so long?
My 23 year old son recently graduated from college and moved out of state. The housewarming gift he requested from us was a KitchenAid Mixer. I complied and bought him one. When I opened the box to 'inspect' it for myself, I've got to say I was a little jealous that he was getting one. For Christmas, I ordered one for me from my husband. When I got it the day after Christmas, I was too excited! I've used it several times and each time, I feel like a pro. I cannot believe how effortless it is to make cookie dough, beat cream cheese till smooth, make cake batter from scratch, without all the mess and fuss--and hands free! All these years I've been using a little hand held mixer. It still works, but I think I'm putting it into early retirement! The selection of colors is awesome, too. I got the green to match my newly remodeled kitchen. Looks impressive kept out on the counter.

doc in louisiana ... Aroma Grill remade
First, let me state I didn't buy this grill from Amazon. Second, I almost ordered this product until I saw the name of the manufacturer (Salton) ... another Aroma Grill. Gee, I got mine a year ago. It came in 20 parts, I glued them back together. The seller and Salton would do nothing about it! Well, since then, let me put it this way ... the teflon wore out to bare metal on about half the grill in 3 months. Even when the teflon was intact, things stuck, to the point that half a steak was left on the grill one night. A night's worth of soaking didn't even lift it. Yes, I did everything according to the directions, however this grill has never worked for me. Ok, so now it's George Foreman's grill ... I bought it as Aroma Grill, and I'm definitely not taking another chance. Once the name Salton is applied, I know it is inferior ... just one widower's opinion.

Horrendous DVD DON'T BUY IT!!!
I was in Chicago at the recording of some of the songs on "Strangers," including the opening introduction of the band. For the next 10 or so yrs I tried learning the solo to "Rock Bottom" and it became embedded in my head!!!! UFO was one of my favorite bands, influencing me to rip on the fret boards... Anyhows, I saw this DVD and bought it. Big mistake! Why does Michael just stand there on the side of the stage looking like a statue. Bill Wyman mastered that. Then the camera is a mile away. Lastly the solo to "Rock Bottom" was so bad! UGGGH! Muting and turning the volume low is not how to play it! That just broke my heart and to this day I'm super pist about this crap! Damn, I was so mad I only saw it once and never want to see another MSG live video or dvd again! I'll stick with the cd.

Go somwhere else
I just went through two of these. I was on the configuration web page and I made some minor changes to the settings. The connection timed out and the WAP11 became unpingable. At the suggestion of tech support I rest the WAP. This resulted in wiping out the firmware. Uh-Oh. That right, Linksys doesn't have firmware available for the WAP11 v.2.2. The same thing happened to a second box with a different tech support person. Do yourself a favor. Don't buy this box.BTW, I am a system administrator for a large university. I know how to configure hardware and software.

Help Me Escape This Garbage!!
I was a HUGE No Doubt fan from the first cd until the last. I loved that band!I gave L.A.M.B. a chance and thought is was meager at best. There was no direction WHATSOEVER. It sounded exactly like what it was - Gwen working with multiple producers.The Sweet Escape is downright awful! I listened to this cd on AOL and was mortified at how generic this is. 'Wind It Up' sounds almost exactly like 'Hollaback Girl', while 'Orange County Girl' could not sound anymore bland. The only song I remotely liked was 'Early Winter'...although it does sound eerily familiar to a particular '80's song - I'll let you figure out which ;)On another note, what is up with her wig and the bling. Talk about sellout!Again, I USED to be a fan. No longer. End of story.

Paramount Pictures Wouldn't Dare...
From IMDB user "Octopus-2":By the looks of it, no one will ever see these comments. But hey, this movie has a great name! What a poignant flavor "limehouse" has! The juxtaposition of "lime" and "blues" gives a great image! I recommend this movie on that basis alone. I think you'll find if you watch this movie, that the name has great significance. I'm not going to shower you with plot details (this being a crime movie, almost anything I say would spoil some surprises) but go ahead and check this one out if you can find it. Four stars for LIMEHOUSE BLUES!--------------------------------------------------------------------------------PS. The artwork for this "DVD" looks ridiculous, like it's meant for the Kid's Club YMCA Reader's Corner held at Red Lobster. I'm not sure that this is a real product of Paramount Pictures. I've contacted the Estate of George Raft about the matter and am waiting response. It should not take more that 17 business days.2.342

It's Ok!
When this was released back in 1990, I was a huge Madonna fan. She had just got through promoting her 1989 masterpiece "Like A Prayer" album and I was awaiting what she had in store for us now. I am truly disappointed in this album, the only reason for the purchase of this album is for the classic track "Vogue". Besides that, the album is total noise! The song "I'm Going Bananas" is odd, Madonna must have gone bananas to record that. I am still not sure to this date, why she released this album. The only other decent track on this album is "More", it's not a jaw dropping song but its decent. As for the other tracks they are not good at all. The song "Hanky Panky" is just plain bad. As I stated before, the only reason for the purchase of this album is "Vogue", and as of now, you can get that track on the "Immaculate Collection" album. Not a keeper!

great gender-bender comedy
Playboy Steve Brooks, who's spend most of his adult life loving and leaving women, is finally murdered by one of his ex-lovers. In purgatory, God (who speaks with two voices-one male, one female, and at one point even referres to him/herself as "we", not "I".) tells Steve that, if he wants to be saved from eternity in hell, he must get a woman to love him for who he is, not for how he is in bed. At first, Steve is sent back exactly as he is, only not dead. But then Lucifer appears, complaining that the set up's not fair, because it would be too easy for Steve to get a woman to fall in love with him. That's when God, at Satan's suggestion, turns Steve into a woman, forcing him to have to get a woman to love him for who he (she?) really is. And off we go! I especially loved the way it ended. I felt it was a really nice way to wrap things up. I kind of wished they'd pursued things a little more with Steve/Amanda and the lesbian executive, however.

She doesn't play!
Oh my! I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I consider myself to be pretty fit -- I spin and/or run a few times a week, do some weight training etc. So I thought I'd get this DVD for the days when it was just too cold to leave my apt. I began with Program 2 of I Want Those Buns. I was completely cocky about it and figured it would be a breeze. It wasn't exactly a breeze, but it wasn't too difficult either. HOWEVER, I was quickly humbled the next day when I could barely sit on my "buns." It was a good kind of pain -- the kind that accompanies truly efficient workouts. This after just 15 minutes with Tamilee. I have similar stories with the other segments. I'm incredibly impressed with this DVD and highly recommend it!

Angels' Eyes for my Angels
I love Angels' Eyes! This product works beautifully on my two Maltese's. When I rescued the my first dog, his eye stain problem was horrible.. I never thought I could clear it up. I purchased many products from the pet store. Nothing worked. Then I found Angels' Eyes. After just three weeks I saw a great improvement. I used it on him for only 6 months. To this day there are virtually no eye stains. He is a beautiful, very white dog.My new Maltese had a much more severe eye staining problem. I have been using it for more than 6 months. It is clearing up but not as quickly as with my first dog.I am extremely happy with the product. I am, however, disappointed that this new bottle of Angels' Eyes did not come with a measuring spoon. This product is a little pricey, but well worth it. I feel it's very safe, too.

Seem to really work!
I had some medical issues that required a round of anti-biotics that lasted two weeks. Soon after I began developing stomach issues, primarily nausea. It was persistant and, sometimes, quite severe. Other times it was not as bad but it always seemed to be lurking. My physician could find nothing wrong so I began to look for other avenues of relief. That's when I decided to try some probiotics. In searching for various types I came accross these pearls and since they were so cheap I gave them a try. Almost immediately my nausea went almost completely away. The pearls really helped. After taking them for about 2 weeks I missed a day. Boy did I pay for it. My nausea came back strong. After another couple days on the pearls the nausea subsided. Highly recommend!

The best one in this series so far
I haven't read the last book in this series yet but up until now book 4 "A Quarter for a Kiss" has been the best one so far. I am about to read the next one so I might change my mind. While the first three books started off slow, this one started out from the beginning keeping you in suspense. It was at least 1/3 through the other books before it even got suspenseful. Also in this book we learn a great deal about the mysterious Tom Bennett. We learn about his past and his connection to Eli. We also learn some secrets about Eli but I won't mention it here and spoil the story for you. Callie and Tom's romance grows stronger in this one. Another thing about this book and I believe which has already been mentioned is that this book ends on a cliffhanger. None of her other books have done this. I'm starting book five which is the last. I regret it is the last. I'm going to miss Callie and Tom.

not diet, militant indoctrination
I was expecting brazen. I was expecting bitchy, it is in the title after all. I was expecting browbeating about eating poorly and not exercising. What I was not expecting was the unbelievably militant veganism. However, I didn't need 3 chapters on the evils of both the dairy and meat industries. There are many other books discussing how horrible agri-industry is to animals. The book is mis-titled and misleading. It's not a way to get skinny, it's an aggressive indoctrination into a lifestyle. Be forewarned, yes, you'll lose weight if you do what they say. But it really is one more diet, despite what they want you to believe. They't not funny, they're not even mildly amusing. And they're certainly not convincing.

Very Funny Shrek
I find Shrek 3 to be very funny. I saw that some reviewers thought it was the worst of the 3 Shreks. I was very surprised to see those reviews. Although a friend of mine thought it was not very good too. He admitted he might have had a bad day watching it. I thought it was one of the better ones. Sometimes with humor, much of it depends on if you get the humor. The Pinocchio scene where he had to tell Charming some info was hilarious. Charming knows he can't tell a lie and it is clever how they got Pinocchio to answer Charming. The facial expressions of Puss N Boots and the 3 pigs were very fitting.My kids loved it also. If you have clever humor, you will enjoy the movie.

Ridden with too many errors
For 16 authors (programmers??) to make so many typos, mistakes, ommissions, is unacceptable. I even sent email to the authors who cared to provide addresses and none responded.The authors must have been confused or took so much for granted. The problems I found with the book are too many. For example: Code snippets fail, poor steps (making the book a very tidious read.). The steps are embedded in lengthy theories, making them impossible to follow. Focus is lost and references are poor. For example, on page 88, they write "you can find this function [global_service_lib.asp] in the include directory". Wrong because, the global_service_lib.asp resides in the siteroot/service/include directory. These are minute errors that can frustrate many readers in the middle of the night.Some diligence should be put into books that involve program codes. I generally do not tolerate such errors from programmers. We should be people akin to details!!

Blackberry is Junk
I have two Blackberry devices on my plan. The 8100 and the 8130 and both have had the USB connections break. This the charging mechanism for the device and when it goes, it is gone. I didn't buy insurance on the 8100 thinking there was a year warranty. Good luck getting anything fixed under warranty. After being without a phone for over a month, I finally get it back NOT repaired stating customer abuse. They then charged me $55. There are 50 pages on google on the USB failing. This unit was under a year old. The Blackberry USB is just poorly designed. Blackberry has the arrogant mentality that they are the only game in town. The operating system on the blackberry is the most poorly designed I have ever seen. Setup is a pain and almost unmanageable for a novice. Don't waste your money on any blackberry (even the storm). There are many better options and a whole lot less stress. Prediction: BB=chapter 11 three years.

Total Drag
I was so disappointed in this book. I liked her first book, and I thought the second was ok. When I read the back of this one I thought it looked good. I'm a witch, a major hockey fan, and I come from a big Italian-Irish family filled with cops and firefighters. Those are the themes of this book, so I thought I'd love it. Wrong! It was really terrible. Ms. Martin is actually a good writer, but this story was so uninteresting. Gemma and Sean hook up and get physical way too soon. They have nothing in common and can't communicate so they break up. Then they are broken up for over a 100 pages while Gemma deals with some pretty serious family issues. Of course, they eventually get back together, but my question is why? All they seem to have in common is sex. This is not my idea of romance. I honestly can't see these two actually having a real relationship.

eye catching
I just got this watch delivered and when I opened the box I got this wow feeling. A very good looking watch indeed. According to another review writer who wrote that the watch look good when you are nice dressed or casual... well I sure agree with that. It looks tres chique !!I have several watches from Invicta and seiko but and this one is one of the best looking. The functions are also good but remember it looks like a chronograph but it isn't !!! The specialty of this watch is that you can see what the time is in other parts of the world. If I need a chronograph watch I simply change my watch to another of my collection.A very good looking watch for good money !! And lucky for me the euro is strong now these days so I even got a better deal.

My so called life departs from One Nation Under.
Where did the strong melodies that were so apparent on some of the songs in the first album go? Someone find them again and put them back. It's not funny anymore.What happened to this band? Please come back. PLEASE! Dont try linkin park, eminem or limp bizkit anymore... please. Let that originality shine through that was so apparent in the first album come back again on album 3. No more "everyone elses music" okay? These guys have so much potential and they had an original formula in the first album and it beats me why they would depart from it to sound unoriginal. From Zero bring back the real you on your next album. Thanks so much for One Nation Under. I hope "My So Called Life" is just a growing experience and not the end all be all. Remember... the basic winning formula is ... strong melodies, harmonies and hard no holds bar rock.

Rise Against...Sponsored by Coca-Cola, Nextel and Nike...
A band of "antiestablishmentarians" signed to a major label...do I see a contradiction in terms here? Rage Against the Machine for the new millenium masses, Rise Against is the epitome of what is wrong with the music industry today. How on the one hand can you claim to want to change the system but then utilize some of the most evil and ultracorporate tools to do this? (i.e. MTV, Dreamworks!) The music is pop-core punk at best and the message is clear: Do as I say, not as I do. If you want to incite change through music then: 1. Sign to an independent label or create your own label. 2. DO NOT under any circumstances make a friggin video for play on MTV. 3. Tour Relentlessly 4. Do Not take your fans for idiots 5. Back your message with actions not hollow words. These guys are the lowest common denominator in the music industry.

I don't know how well this works
I have nothing to compare this to so I gave it 4 stars because it does work, but it seems expensive for such a little item that is about the same size as a car alarm remote. It is designed to be put on a keychain but there is no way in hell I would do that. Dirt can easily get inside the open holes and screw up the accuracy. This is too expensive for that.It really should have a small carrying case. The one thing I don't like about it is that you have to put your mouth on the top part of the outercase. There are no protective sleeves. I guess you are just supposed to lug this around in your pocket and then put it in your mouth when you are testing. Then you pass it around to your friends. Gross!I got this device for personal reasons.When I first go it, I blew a .000 since I had nothing to drink. Then I rinsed my mouth with Scope, and blew a .200. That is about 2.5 times the legal limit. After about 10 minutes or so it did go down to .000, so I know it works at least.

The Melungeons
I enjoyed the book very much. My family "The Thompson" was from Knox Co. Kentucky. My greatgrandmother was Katherine Wells. They left Kentucky and came to Oklahoma where there my father Robert Thompson married Clara James. So many people in Oklahoma have some Indian blood. I remember well people asking my grandfather Robert Wilson Thompson what tribe he was from. He would tell them he was "Black Dutch". I never knew where "Black Dutch" cames from. My mother's grandfather was Thomas L. Rowland. She had heard her mother say he was "Black Dutch". We have the black hair and very blue eyes. This help me to understand the term better and I want to looking in more. Wanda Thompson Hines- McKinney, Texas .

Good gloves
I like these gloves very much. They are light, fit very well, and very comfortable. You don't loose very much feeling from wearing them. 85% cow hide leather, 5% nylon, 5% aeroprene, 5% syn leather. Lining 100% polyester. All the protection on the knuckles and fingers is foam based and flexible. I have not taken a spill on them yet but they should do the job nicely. Made in china. You always get what you pay for. But I think these are a good value. They are much more expensive at my local stores.

Rocket55373
As I read in other reviews the product is of good quality. Sturdy. Compared to other similar products I think I got my money's worth. One negative on this product is the srews are allen wrench type. I would have preferred the screws been phillips head type. Using those tiny allen wrenchs they give you with the product are a pain to use but it worked. They provide a small cheap wrench (normal for put together products). My recommendation is get our your own allen wrenchs and socket wrenchs out before you start. Other then my tool issue the product works great, kids love it and its VERY big compared to other units. The product also comes with MORE basketballs then the other products. Its a great buy and I would highly recommend it. It did take us at least ONE hour to put it together. But its worth it.

Great game, just needs a few changes
Bioshock looks incredible on the 360. I stopped several times just to watch the lighting and transparency effects. I am continually impressed by the 360's ability to process such complex effects while delivering an action packed game at a smooth frame rate, no drop-offs or lock ups.I do, however, have some complaints. Bioshock makes it way to easy to win. A directional arrow shows you exactly where to go, which is nice, but in the same breath, you will focus more on the arrow pointer than on the gorgeous levels. Often you will complete gopher missions: pick up object A and drop at point B. Your enemy is not varied much. You fight basically a variation of a humanoid/mutant and the wet-suit dude on the box cover. I also wish the game would have put me outside of Rapture because I became bored seeing the same neon color scheme. In all, Bioshock rocks. Don't mind my whining. It's a great game, so take it for a ride.

They look good but they are not comfortable at all. A total and complete waste of money.
I bought these from an eBay seller actually. They were advertised as being warm and comfortable. WHAT A JOKE! They don;t have a millimeter of insole, a MM of padding. Nothing. Its just a leather shell and thats it. Don't expect these to be anything as described. If you order a size 9 like I did, you get a shell thats about size 11. You have to wear 2 pairs of socks and have an insole. And they're real wide at the top. They look a litlte like clown shoes. A complete and total waste of time, money and effort. If I lived in an are that had real stores it wouldn't a problem. But shoe stores here in Pittsburgh have 1 pair each of smen's slippers. And they're usually that horrible moccasin thing. Gosh I've learned to hate them. So, I'm, stuck trying to find a decent pair on line. So far, no good. Don't buy slippers unless you can test them first.

Great for a beginner
Not being a computer or camera "pro" I needed something easy to use. I looked at the reviews for the product here at Amazon. I decided to buy the F83 model. This model allows for a 15 second "movie". Boy do I like it. I like the ease of the Floppy disk. The quality is fine for my needs. The battery lasts a long time. A camera bag is a necessity since the LCD screen marks easily. I recommend the camera to anyone wanting a digital camera that is easy to use. Thanks Amazon for providing the reviews, and thanks to those other individuals who made the reviews. I found them very helpful.

Good action movie
I'm a Seagal fan and this is a must have for all Seagal fans. This is one of his better action movies. I'm giving this movie 5 stars based on the action alone. There is an explosion at the start of the movie which was done very well. This is not the type of special effects I expect in a direct-to-video release. This was more of a big budget movie explosion. A bomb in a car explodes causing a huge fire ball, and the shock of the explosion shatters windows. The second reason this movie gets 5 stars is the action was great. The car chase was excellent. There were many gun fights. The martial arts fights were good. The third reason for 5 stars is the supporting cast was very good. The person who plays the CIA officer and the person who plays the local police chief were exceptionally well acted parts. This movie gets a R for lots of violence and nudity.

MINOR price to pay for a MAJOR album
I am a big A-HA fan and believe that Morten Harket has one of the best voices around. This album is very touching and certainly great. Morten's voice appears a little different than what we are used too. There are many great songs that I really like. "Minor earth major sky", "Velvet","The Sun Never Shone That Day",and "Summer Moved On",which uses a symphony orchestra in the background that sounds magnificant as it follows Morten's voice. Dont let me forget my favorates like "Thought That It Was You", "I Wish I Cared", "You'll Never Get Over Me" that will leave you breathless. Most of the songs sound similar in style. Most songs are sad and on the relaxing side. Nevertheless, this is one of their most mature and complete albums and I certainly have to say that it is ten times better than "Memorial Beach". I am just glad to see the three of them still togather, making beautiful music like always. A definite must buy for all A-HA fans.

You will eat this VCR up!
I must say that this purchase from Amazon.com was one of the best consumer electronics purchasing decisions I have ever made. I have to give Amazon props for providing their customers with outstanding service. What about that VCR? Well, this Toshiba is a thing of beauty. Not only from an aesthetic standpoint, but in ease-of-use. Very simple to set-up and program. It is also accompanied by an easy to follow owners manual just in case you need it. The on-screen programming is a brilliant white on baby-blue, and I find myself programming my VCR for the pure enjoyment of it. The first tape I put in was Bjork's "Volumen" (ASIN 630522336X), a masterpiece in of itself. The picture was so clear and crisp and pause looked like a still photograph (no messy lines). This is a high quality Hi-Fi Stereo VCR at a great price. I wouldn't hesitate recommending this machine to anyone.

One Of The Best Storytellers Ever!
Listening to Jim Croce brings back great memories of growing up in the 70s. I can still remember my class singing Time In A Bottle and Bad Bad Leroy Brown for our yearly performance before our parents. Jim's lyrics are so good because they create such wonderful imagery and you feel like you were there with him. His vocal delivery is always warm and personable. He wrote so many great songs I won't bother going over all of them. Just get this cd! You will probably find some great songs you never knew about. It's such a shame that a great songwriter like Jim was taken from us at such an early age. But he did live a lot in his short lifetime. Rest in peace Jim and thanks for the great music!!!

For reliability and Peace of mind, this is it!
My Mom is getting old and lives alone. We live in rural Maine, and the power goes out at least a few times each year. She's willing to spend about 99 cents on a flashlight, and then won't change batteries when the beam gets dim. Since I'm an active guy who loves cool stuff, I know the value of this $25 light beats those cheap junk ones. I bought this one for her so she'll be safer. With LED, the batteries last so long, she'll be able to see whenever she needs it. If she drops it, it will still work. AND the light is powerful white, so it will likely save her an accidental fall or two. What a simple way to lessen risk for an elderly parent on a budget. If you ever NEED a flashlight, you might as well have one that will last, be super bright, and save you money in batteries over its lifetime as well. Considering everything, the price is a great deal!

Sucks, broken and used.
I recived this plane just a few days ago. I was excited for it was my first rc plane and i was hoping this would jump start me into the hobby of flying rc's a little bit. So far this is disapointing. The plane dosen't fly. It only goes full throttle and half, also mine only goes right, no left turn. That caused me to crash twice. The plane also has a high stall speed, which isnt to good comparing speed is what you need to climb. Also when I was putting the plane together the glue that was included started to eat the foam around it. I later wiped it up and put elmers glue on which worked ok. Overall i would reccomend saving your money for something more of quality. Im going to return this item and save for a proper plane. Someing 3 Channel and not a piece of #@$!
