ok now i have listened to the entire cd!
|
This album gets only 2 stars from me. However, the band shows lots of promise. here are the positives that i see. positives- the singer doesn't ever whine or shriek like the matchbox 20 guy or smashing pumpkins guy. the bassist, drummer, and guitarist play very sharply. i like how everything sounds as a whole coming from the instruments. negatives- the song writing is horrible. they need song writers. they have talent but have only shown it on a few songs of this album namely the first 5 tracks. not only are the lyrics silly most of the time, but there are not enough melodies with the bassist or the lead singers. the band should try to keep it simple. the article here that compares this band to r.e.m. or live is silly. i like bands like r.e.m., radiohead, cranberries, stabbing westward, nirvana...even third eye blind...but this band needs to stop and write more great tunes like the third track of this album.

Rusted!
|
I received this as a promotion for free along with the purchase of a stand mixer. What a disappointment! After reading the instructions to make sure the slicer cones were dishwasher safe, I washed them only to find they are in fact NOT dishwasher safe. One of them rusted completely, and the rest came out with a few spots of rust here and there. KitchenAid customer service was friendly and responsive. They sent me another one immediately without my having to send the first one back. Without ever getting the new set near water, they are already rusting! Spots of rust have appeared just from them sitting on my counter next to my mixer. I didn't pay money for these, fortunately. I'm contacting them to see if I can get the grinder instead. I wouldn't pay money for this attachment.

Really Not Worth It
|
Janet Manning is trying to solve her husband's murder. She finds a clue in the book he was reading. She travels to Agness, Montanna, to clear her head and solve the mystery. The premise of the book starts out well enough, but it takes too long to get going. There are parts in the story, that you think something interesting or exciting will happen and it is a BIG flop. The few interesting parts are few and far between. The real action doesn't happen until the end of the book and even then, it's not so great. A little unrealistic, in my opinion. Even the characters are boring. I couldn't really identify with the characters. Very bland. I wouldn't waste your time with this book. Unless you want a book that will put you to sleep, Enjoy!

Not the answer
|
I am also a Catholic priest. Here is a man who was rector of a seminary. Yet he takes no responsibility for the current problems. Instead he dares to offer advice. Penance would be more appropriate. I would ask him "why didn't you fix the problems when you had the chance as rector?" and "why if there is a problem with homosexuals in the priesthood did you not take action and expell them?". The answer to our problems is more fidelty not less. Fr. Cozzens is part of the problem not the answer. For the real answers we need only look to Pope John Paul II. If we had simply done what he has asked us to do for years we would not be in this situation.

Fabulous
|
I heard of Stella Soleil when her remake of Tarkan's "Simarik" came out (aptly titled "Kiss Kiss"). I did not much care for her version, but bought the album nevertheless. I was extremely surprised! "Kiss Kiss" is not a fair representation of the album. The other songs are brilliant! There's not one song on there that I skip. Her voice is wickedly fine and the music has variety. Standout tracks are "Imperfect", "Runaway Crush", "Twilight" and "Angel Face". It's a shame that Stella never took off. So many other tracks could've been singles (and could've been hits too!) If you want something different, give this album a try.

SOOOOOO BAD!!!!
|
I had read all the other books about Alex Cross and liked every one of them. Then along came Violets are Blue. It is the one of the worst books I have tried to read. I quit after 125 pages. I just gave up. Person after person is killed and the blood sucked out of them. All done by vampires no less. It is so bad. No real story except Alex trying to catch them. Just killing after killing. I really hate this. I liked James Patterson so much. I don't know if I will ever buy another one or not, wish I had not bought this one.

Good stuff. Great band. Ahhh, the 80's......
|
I guess TS is a guilty pleasure. I've been around metal since about 1980 so I was there when they broke it big. Therefore I like the older stuff on this disc a lot more than the newer stuff. Recommended are: 'We're Not Gonna Take It', 'I Wanna Rock', 'You Can't Stop Rock and Roll', 'Shoot 'em Down' and especially 'Under The Blade'. TS was never a "total" metal band, not like Venom or Mercyful Fate or even Sabbath or Priest, they just happened to be rockin' at the right place and right time. But when they got fully wound up they could blast it out "fast and loud" with the best of them. There's a few missing cuts on this disc; like 'SMF', a few stinkers, and the live stuff is not really eye-opening. But this is a good buy for those who need a dose of a heavy metal, New York City, in-your-friggin'-face attitude. Crack a cold beer, hop in the car and crank it high! Unless you're a corpse you're gonna be groovin'. And that, after all, is the whole idea.

beyond fantasy

I like for a movie to take me away, from my ordinary life. This film does just that. I love Nicolas Cage. While I don't agree with the casting choice for the kid, I really liked the film. Good direction with the effects. Not too much. I think overall it's a great story line and opened the ending so that there could be a sequel or pre-quel! I like an actor that can bend him/herself to any genre. That is what Cage does. Just as this film gives us a What if senario. Good subtle humor and action along with "what's going to happen in the end" feeling. A big recommend from Me!

Best animated series ever.
|
What makes it so great? The comedy. The comedy NEVER runs dry. The show never stops being funny!While simpsons lost their edge once those new guys who never even watched it took over, Family Guy is funny till the end.This first two seasons have 28, yes thats right, 28 episodes. About 20 minutes an episode, so you get A LOT. Plus, the dvd is only 35 bucks, while most other animted dvds and such are 30 dollars. Like dbz, which has you pay 30 bucks for 3 episodes. This movie though gives you your moneys worth, with almost a dollar and 50 cents an episode. You also get tons of laughs from Peter, and uhhhh, tons of laughs from Peter.Most still love the Simpsons, yea. Anyone can agree that the Simpsons have lost their touch. These 3 last seasons have been dry, and it just doesn't work anymore. Family Guy started great, and ends perfectly.

BUY This Book!!!
|
Wow!!! What a wonderfully enjoyable book Sandra Gulland has written . . . I have always been quite interested in European History, but anytime I bought a book about any historical figure or period I felt as if I they were too . . . too . . . well I can't find the exact expression for what I felt they were like but they never suceeded in taking me, the reader, into the world of the story.Not so with Jospehine B. I was instantly swept up in her world - her fears, her troubles, her triumphs, her heartbreak. The diary format works like a charm!!!I could not put it down . . .My only adive besides buying the book is to wait until @ least the 2nd volume comes out - then you won't be suffering like I am waiting for the 2nd volume to come out and the 3rd? Forget about the 3rd - it's not slated until November 2000 - AARGH!!!!

Great MP3 player for first timer...
|
This is my first MP3 player. I have looked in several stores and websites to check prices. For this size player, I find it stores roughly around 120 songs depending on size of file. (.wma) The headphones are not the best but will do in a pinch. The color is great and although the case is plastic, it helps to keep the player from getting scratched. The sound, look, and feel are all 5 stars with me. My main complaint at first is the fact that their manual is on CD and their quick start guide sucks. If you know how to use your computer to download to other devices then you shouldn't have a problem setting up. It took me a bit but I'm a happy camper now. I also want to say that based on price and s/h. I couldn't touch an MP3 player of this quality and for this price. Thanks Amazon.com!!!! I used the free s/h...however it really tests your patience if you're in a hurry.

Horrible! Only 8 small servings!
|
What they didn't tell me is there were 3 main ingredients I could not eat! Peanuts, Almonds and peanut butter! No WARNING or anything. The product add states Chocolate 6lbs. Its also only 8 servings and would not put on any serious mass. A few lbs if ur lucky that u will then lose in a few days! Not worth the 27bucks I paid. Cant use anyways due to sloppy ingredents details and they won't let me return it. Just thought u all should know what they should have posted in there add. I sure I'm not the first person scammed out of my hard earned $$$, and won't be the last since peanut's are one of the most common allergies known to man! This sucks, but wouldn't have bought even today knowing it's only eight servings! They don't tell u that either! What a waste of $!

Somewhere

This is not "Lost in translation 2" but for fans of that movie you just might like this one as well. "Somehwere" certainly does have some familiar themes we witnessed in Lost In Translation. Themes such as isolation, loneliness. Existential questions such as why am I here, and is what I think important really that important? Stephen Dorff does a good job in portraying a rather miserable movie star in the prime of his career with money, a black Ferrari, room service and call girls. Johnny Marco has it all yet he has nothing. He is bored, burned out and unhappy. With no one who truly cares about him. Then steps in his often forgotten daughter played by Elle Fanning who he finds solace in. Sound familiar? It is but is done very well and in many ways is quite different from LIT. Worth renting or buying.

Raw, dirty and very repulsive
|
I am not a big fan of Stephen King books, although I have only read three of this books. The first one I read was "Carrie". I saw the film, loved it, so gave the novel a try. I must say it`s difficult to get imagery from this book, and I did not find King`s use of words powerful or frightening at all. They were too raw and unpleasantly accurate to intrigue me. But what really aggravated me about "Carrie" is the way King constructed newspaper articles, obituaries, and interviews into the story. It totally weakened the plot, and it sort of got confusing at times. Brian De Palma`s classic film adaptation, I feel, is a lot better. The plot was produced with more focus on adolescence, and the severe emotions the main characters felt. There also a lot more powerful and unexpected moments. The book just didn`t do anything for me.

One of the best books ever!
|
Monsters in Cyberspace is the 3rd book in the series Monster of the Month Club. It is a very funny and interesting book. It's realistic too (ignoring the fact that it's a fictitious book). Three new monsters are introduced: Sparkler, Butterscotch, and Owl, for July, August, and September. Owl speaks English(the only monster that can), and is a very funny character. He keeps sending e-mail to everyone with a screen-name containing the word "monster" on Rilla's new internet. He also has a very unique talent to remember information he eats(on paper), which makes it easy to do Rilla's homework, which gets her into trouble. In this book, Rilla is able to contact her father through the computer as well, while having to deal with the monsters gambling. As a result, Owl loses his glasses and his memory becomes permanently damaged. This book is a must-read, as well as the rest of the series of the MOTM!!

Adventure! Excitement! This book has it all! I can tell you if you like these two things you have to read this book. This book is actually the sequel to the Island of the Blue Dolphins! And I know you're thinking "Is it about Karana? About her new life? Is she ok?" Well, if you really want to know it is about her niece named Zia. When the rest of Karana's tribe left, Karana's sister left too. Her sister got married and had a baby named Zia. Zia was raised hearing storys about Karana and Zia decided she wanted to find her. When Zia was fourteen she was sent to live in a mission, a place where Native Americans are sent to learn Christianity, and she realizes it is really close to the Island of the Blue Dolphins. Zia finds a boat and tries to find her long lost aunt. Will she succeed? Will she fail? You'll have to read the book for yourself. If you haven't already I suggest you read Island of the Blue Dolphins before you read Zia. Have fun reading!

Tim Burton: Please keep your claws off the following films.
|
ANY MOVIE FROM A-Z! Stick to creating your own stuff and stop leeching and perverting other peoples visions and creations. Did you not see House of Dark Shadows? A step down from the series but it was Barnabas as originally envisioned by Curtis. A dissolute vampire who comes back for his love and has no remorse in murdering his whole family. Barnabas thru pure butchery destroyed his own descendants in his attempts to find his Josette. Running time about 95Minutes a little longer then your film and even with 10 minutes that never made it to the film and that Curtis destroyed. That could have a starting point and then you could have added your Burtonesque quirks. You couldnt even do that. You and Depp had to have your Keystone cop approach. Stupid, humorless. Stay the F away from others films.

Making a slow and painful recovery.. right???
|
Anita Blake was a great series! I loved everything about Anita, even if some of the other characters were a little stereotypical (Jean-Claude) or annoying (I find Richard's "poor me" act irritating). But it seems like Ms. Hamilton peaked with Obsidian Butterfly. Naricissus in Chains was excruciatingly long and pointless. But I'm talking about Cerulean Sins, so let me get back to that.All in all, it was much better than Naricissus, that's for sure. I even got excited, thinking things were going to get back on track. But I agree with many reviews about this book. Hamilton's losing her edge and is resorting to sex to make up for it. The serial killer plot in this book became a subplot and left a lot of things unexplained. I bought this book because half of the reviews raved about it and the other half downed it. I wanted decide on my own, now I feel like I should've checked it out of the library instead of buying it.

Warmed-over C book...
|
Steve Oualline has another book, Practical C Programming. I have not read that book, but judging the quality of the code examples in this book, I imagine that he ripped out about 75% of the code examples from that book. So many of his code snippets start with "void main()" that it drove me crazy! He gets it right, sometimes, with "int main (void)", but he is very inconsistent. The most egregious error, in my opinion, was an example he used to try to explain classes. He tries to use a "class (name)" example as a base class for tax forms!!! What is that? That is clearly not an "is-a" relationship, a term he conspicuously leaves out. The code throughout is not ANSI standard C++, and really needs to be cleaned up. Granted, the book was written before the ANSI standard was formally adopted, but this book should have long since been rewritten with the new standard in mind. Steer clear of this book!

Three strikes and You're Out
|
I ordered the Ihome iH5 in white and received the iH8, iH9 and the iH55 in black and grey, no white and no iH5. Target and Ace photos just sent me what they had in stock. Only after the 3rd attempt did I call Ace Photos and instructed them to credit my account. They informed me then the my iH5 was discontinued. WHY didn't Target and Ace Photos just call me and inform me of the discontinuance of this product!!:Instead we played mail and return products 3 times. I finally purchased an Altec Lansing Fm radio/ipod player for $99.00 from J&R who delivered the product in two days to my total satisfaction. Amazon, Target and Ace Photos..get it together for the sake of other customers. I will not order again from either three. This is not the proper way of conducting business. I am totally disgusted with this occurance.

Originality wins me over
|
Being an Nsync fan, I did not hesitate to buy Justin Timberlakes solo cd, Justified. I had very little idea of what to expect from him. I just have to say that Justin is so smart and creative. He picked the right people to collaborate with and came up with some of the most creative sounds i've ever heard. He captured the emotions he was feeling and poured them into the songs. You can hear what he was going through, and understand how he felt. The beats are crazy! The record company should make all the fast songs singles for the clubs, cause people would go wild dancing to those beats. I couldnt have asked for more in a cd. It's awesome! yee-haw Texas girls rock!

A 200 page paperback should not be $31
|
I recently purchased this book, a requirment for one of my classes, at a cost of $32. It is absolutely criminal to charge such an exhorbinant amount of money for 50 cents worth of material. It makes me wonder if college profs, along with the authors of these textbooks are staying within the bounds of America's anti-trust laws. It would seem to me that the price of the book has been inflated beyond what any rational person without a class would pay for it. Here's a theory for you. The college profs and authors of the textbooks have a pact. You require the book that I write and I'll require yours. Then we both charge triple what it's worth and run with the money. Next year we print a twenty-fifth edition simply by changing the chapter order and make out with a steal again. This is rediculous. If it can be prooved a lawsuit is pending.

Fun to wear, but sizing is odd
|
I bought the XS adult size. My normal dress size is a 0. This costume is rather baggy, but i pulled the belt way beyond where the velcro closure is and fastened it, then twisted it around behind me where the cape covers up how messy the belt is. It works. (it's for Halloween, not the prom!) :) Also, i was just a little disappointed in the boot covers. One is quite large and the other is TINY. It is sized for about an 8 year old's foot/ankle. I tore out the stitches in the back just to get it on. (Again, it is just a cheesy boot cover and more to complete the look.) I am considering cutting the whole foot part off it and wearing only the shaft part of the 'boot' with shoes, kind of like shiny leg warmers.In any case, with all these little quirks of the costume, the price is great for a decent quality, very fun and cute costume. It is comfy too.

Out of the gates strong...

How is it that a band creates an album like this on their first try?? It's mindboggling to me as I am sure it is to others who love Oasis. This album is classic rock and roll. Thats not something you can say alot these days of radio friendly rap and candycoated boy bands. Its the kind of album from top to bottom that puts a hop in your step and has you humming all day long. The most amazing thing about this band is that I have yet to hear a bad song. Noel has a gift and with Liam's vocals its a deadly combination. Live forever,Supersonic,Columbia,Up in the sky,Slide away, I mean the list goes on and on, brilliant is an understatment. This band is what all else wish to be but fail in their efforts. Someone let me know when they find a more arrogant,brash,extremely talented rock and roll band. I got a feeling I wont be hearing from anyone anytime soon.

Only for Mandy Fans!
|
I love Mandy Moore and was very excited to get this soundtrack. It was certainly worth it. Each Mandy song is gorgeous and she sounds lovely. Cry was the best song on her latest CD and probably one of the prettiest ballads I've heard. Only Hope is another romantic ballad that suits her perfectly and she sounds better that ever. Its Gonna Be Love is a mid tempo track that is sweet and catchy. The other tracks by the other artists are not as great. Fans of Mandy Moore are certainly not fans of the type of music the other songs are except for If You Believe by christian pop singer Racael Lampa. An uplifting ballad that showcases her amazing voice. The other songs by Toploader and Switchfoot are very slow, boring, and not very interesting. As I said, this is a must for Mandy Moore fans, she is at her best.

I only got halfway through
|
I am sure this book gets more interesting in the second half, but I didn't get that far. I got tired of these characters, and the lack of plot. It went like this: Governess arives. Employer recognizes her from a tryst they had as teenagers. They both regret their past. She wanders around in the garden. She visits a church. She plays backgammon with a brother. They remember the past. They worry about a child. They meet in the library. They talk, but not really. They are repressed and depressed. Nothing happens.Sorry, I can only take so much of this. I'm going to go read some Amanda Quick -- at least her books are entertaining. Or Joanna Lindsay -- at least her books are sexy. At this point, I frankly don't care if Cam and Helene make it to bed or not.

Why Do We Support These Types Of Books?
|
I just don't understand this. Ahab's wife? What? And she's been married before and since? Wow. That certainly degenerates our classic obsessor even more. What is with all these books trying to spin off other things that were better. Dune: House of Atreides? Doctor Who: Interference? Casablanca: As Time Goes By? Young Indiana Jones: Treasure of the Peacock's Eye? What's wrong with keeping the integrity of the originals by not taking revisionist approaches to that which inspired you. Why does everything need "Further" and "Missing" adventures. To make a buck? This was Moby Dick. Where will this madness end?!!

Review on product quality
|
I have purchased used items before on Amazon.com and they have always been as described. Unfortunately not this time. This item was rated "used - very good." What I received did not come close to the description. 1-The case for the CD was scratched, dirty, and "goo-ey." 2-I had to clean the blood off the CD before using it. Yes blood.... I am a nurse and know blood when I see it. EEWW! 3-The CD has scratches on it. Fortunately it plays OK. If this is a "used - very good" I shudder to think what "fair" looks like. The description of this item left a lot to be desired.

nice phone!
|
Overall, decent. The LCD is nice and bright, and it's a good size too. I was surprised at how crisp the screen was. The display was nice and clear-- two thumbs up. I tried out the camera of course. The flash option is nice, but doesn't do as much brighting I hoped (I didn't try taking pictures outside, but I'm sure those would be 10 times better) Many of the other pictures stored on the phone seemed a bit dark as well. However, besides that, the quality of the pictures was really good. Also, there are options for different kinds of photos you want to take-- whether you are taking one of someone else, taking a self portrait, or doing a group photo. The phone is cute. Silver, flip phone, camera, color screen. It is by far one of the best in it's class. It is true that Sprint has high prices on service plans, and I've also heard that the customer service is lousy, but as for their phones, Sprint is holding the weight. Plus, the phone is free right now, so hey, why not?

Not as great as I expected
|
I was so excited to see this movie, my husband bought it for me and I have always heard so much about it that I couldn't wait! I love musicals and I own many. But this one was a disapointment, the ballet was done poorly and the dream sequence...ARGH!! horrible! The plot was lost in the dancing. Musicals are great! I love them! But go watch singing in the Rain or Seven Brides for Seven Brothers! This movie kinda sucked the life out of me. I had to watch Harvey Girls after it just to cheer me up! (oh, and this movie isn't even filmed in Oklahoma, It's filmed in Arizona.) review written by~ Miranda Sutton.

works when it wants to
|
i thought i was getting a deal by not going to the mac store and purchasing this adapter for $85. however, i should have just went ahead and paid the extra $30 cause this one is a piece of crap. i don't even think it is really made by mac at all after comparing it to my old one. the markings on each vary in many ways including the apple logo and some of the print on the bottom. it really only works when it wants to after unplugging a few times and playing around with the part that plugs into the computer. and it didn't come with the white prongs that make it a square. only a long black cord. i tried to put the prongs from my old adapter on the new one, but they don't even fit properly. i figure if it they are both made by apple, it should have been a perfect fit, right? wrong. so sketchy. do yourself a favor, spend the extra $$$, go to the mac store.

An insult to Film
|
From the moment this movie started I knew there was something wrong. Terribly wrong. In fact I had to pause the movie and find out what the thing was. Yes. I knew it. It was filmed on video.Now that's not to say that all movies today that are shot on video are awful. Take Benjamin Button for instance. You can't even tell that it is was for the most part. However Mann did not attempt to hide the fact with this movie. The frame rates seemed to be inconsistent, especially in the action sequences. The colors were bland and boring and everything had that shiny video look (look at the actors hair). Night scenes were horribly washed out. The audio was terribly inconsistent. Ugh.A period piece should be shot on film and not video to give it that authentic look. What was Mann trying to accomplish?

"You've lost 007!" - Max Zorin to James Bond
|
Roger Moore puts on the 007 suit one more time for his final performance as agent James Bond 007. Yes, he's a little bit older this time, but you can hardly notice it. I love this film, as I love all the James Bond films. The new villain, Max Zorin is going to destroy Silicon Valley in order to control the microchips in that area. His sidekick is the evil MayDay, who puts up a match that could even stop 007. The new Bond girl, Stacy Sutton.....is just a stupid bimbo. Okay lets ove on to better things. Such as the music! Duran Duran gives us all an explosive rock song that charted as No.1 in the billboard charts.On a much sadder note- this is last film to feature Lois Maxwell as Miss Moneypenny. Although many others have portrayed Miss Moneypenny in the Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan era's, none will ever stand up to Lois Maxwell who as a true James Bond veteran stayed with the series for 14 stunning James Bond 007 films!!!

Great Cable, Great Price, Monster is a Ripoff
|
If you need any type of cabling, I don't care what it is, do not waste your money on monster cables. You can get cabling that works just as well for a fraction of the price. Gold connectors are the biggest scam on the planet. Solid gold cables might conduct better, but plated means nothing. So unless you intend to pay $800 for one, stick with cheap. I have this cable pushing a 1920X signal from my PC to my Toshiba. Works perfect. No over scan, 100% of the screen utilized. Movies look perfect. Games look great. Wallet is still full.

Thanks! Thanks! Thanks! I was searching all over for a book like this. I can't tell you how many frustrating hours I've spent trying to edit my documents on the computer using Word. Your book surpassed my expectations. If you had mentioned a macro to me a few days ago, I would have had a panic attack. I can't believe you made them seem easy. With each exercise I kept saying to myself: "I never knew that!" And I consider myself a Word expert. Thanks Ms. Ruby! A job well done!

Kite Runner takes you to another place
|
Kite Runner really makes me appreciate growing up in America. Sometimes we don't realize how good we have it. We don't always see how much harder it is in other countries. No matter what culture you are from there are some things that don't need to be translated: Unconditional love, friendship, honor, respect are all covered in this novel. It also covers abuse, neglect, shame, guilt, and fear. This was a book that takes you to a different place (Afghanistan), a place that most of us would not be familiar with. Even though it's a different culture, I felt like I was right there with them. It was sad when there was loss, happy when there was joy, etc. You get to feel a lot of emotions when you read this one. This novel was certainly well done. There is a reason the reviews are so good. Read it!

A lil bit better than I expected....
|
I admit I thought that this movie would of been made more for the man than for the family. But I was wrong, It was actually a pretty good family movie. My son's whom are 5 & 9 loved it, and i am buying it for them for Christmas. It had alot of good action scenes with out it being too much. And no blood, imagin that....well, a lil, but not enough for me to count. Jolie and her Father(voit) did a good job together. It a few funny scenes in it as well. Of course it is full running fiction...but I like a movie that i can watch for pure entertainment reasons. There is no reason to get a movie if you are going to worry about how unrealistic it was later. And of course it was unrealistic....it's scfi/fiction...it is suspose to be that way. If you would like to entertained for the purpose of being entertained...then get this movie. It is a good family movie.

An awe inspiring story of love and its true meaning
|
It is very difficult to express my innermost feelings as I read this book. The love of a man for His God and the people of China is unfathomable. His intimacy with his Heavenly Father is a relationship to be desired and sought after. A love for a people God instilled within him. Words cannot express what is in between the covers of this book. His work in China will last because of the everlasing God that he served and China will never be the same. He and his family gave all. His work goes on in the Spirit which he was so in one with. Only God knows how many people have and will be touched because of the love he had for his God and the people whom he served so many years not out of duty but out of love, with sacrifice and great cost to himself and family. A sacrifice that they did not even consider as one but as a privilege. This is not one you will read once but many times and encourage others to read.

Superstar?, More like Bench Warmer
|
Ted Neeley should be crucified, literally, for being the worst Jesus in any film. Was Jimmy Stewart unavailable to play a worse version of Jesus? I think Ted Neeley is also the first person to play Jesus with a lazy eye. This is just the beginning of my problems with this movie.I could have sworn Yoko Ono was playing Mary Magdaline. The actress had the same vocal abilities as Yoko. In my opinion, Elton John did the best job playing King Herod. Rick James would have made a great Judas.I realize my review is just addressing the acting, what about the plot you ask? There was not one. The keep singing bad songs until they are mercifully stopped when Jesus is crucufied. The best part was making the Last Supper into a picnic. Who brought the Spam?As a Christian, I have never hated a Bible story. But what they have done to the story of Jesus life certainly has turned the greatest story into a sham. I would rather go blind than watch this again.

waist of money
|
This was the first bottle I purchased for my daughter when she was born. I was breastfeeding but since she had jaundice, I had to suppliment formula for the first 2 weeks of her life! I had the worst time with this bottle! It leaked everytime I went to shake it and whenever I would try to feed my daughter she would literaly drown because the flow was too fast. SHe would also gag and had horrible gas! I stopped with the formula till she was 6 weeks and I thought maybe since she was older she could take it a little better. It ended up being the same problems again!! I switched to the playtex nurser and those bottles are great! I would recommend them to anyone who is breast and bottle feeding! My daughter did not get confused and she did not drown in formula! Even though it is a little more work with the drop in system, I dont care! I can push the air out of the bottle and she swallows less air and she has less gas and spits up less!

If the movie a chance
|
i put off seeing this movie for a long time, i just didn't think it was going to be good. Also because i am cheap when it comes to buying movies. Lucky for me my mom has netflix. i saw it on there and the movie turned out to be really good. I was crying at the end. People dying always gets to be, then add on that the brothers backstory and it gets to you. To be honest the movie is slow getting started, and i would agree with another people who stated that the story picks up when Mariah enters the story. I would have given the movie 5 stars but i fell asleep in the beginning. I don't know if it was really boring or i could've been just plain tired. The second time though i watched it the whole way through and liked it. i wished they could've done some backstories on the dying brother (i forgot his name). i wanted to know see his past, besides his brother.

A good book but you need the buyers guide too
|
I am happy with this book so far although I have not had time to put it to the test. I have been monkeying with computers since 1985. I wanted to get current in a hurry. The book looks well put together and easy to understand with good pics. I like the way the information is presented. It looks like it was written with great care and honesty. Not a bunch of BS. You need the buyers guide to go with it. It's cheap, more up to date and a great reference. The writers admit that the book needs a supplement and the buyers guide does that. It is probably not possible to put everything you need in one book.

A superb series
|
The highest recommendation I can give is this: I soon as I was finished reading it, I starting reading it again so I could thoroughly enjoy the story a second time. What guy wouldn't immediately sympathize with poor Keitaro, a 19-year old still trying to sort his way through school, work, and, most unfortunately, girls. After failing to get into Toyko U for the second time, his parents threw him out the house and he is forced to live in his grandmother's girls dormitory. And the residents of the dorm aren't too happy about it either. Oh boy, is Keitaro in over his head. Each of the girls are beautiful, but which one is going to kill him first? The frisky Kitsune? The bookish Naru? The ultra-competitive Motoko? The precocious Shinubo? Or psychotic Su? How will poor Keitaro ever survive? The artwork is excellent, the fan service is well integrated into the plot, and the romantic comedy twist and turns some many times you're always wondering what it going to happen next!

Not what I expected
|
My son got a pet hampster for his birthday and wanted to take to show his grandparents. When I saw this I thought it would be perfect plus he loved the schoolbus design. It was not what I would have expected. I have purchased many critter trail products in the past and have been very satisfied. Not this time. The first one I ordered was broken. THe plastic clips that locked the door in place were broken. Amazon was wonderful about the return and had a new to me the next day with no extra charge. After I got the new one I noticed how bad it was. The water cap keeps coming off the water bottle. The easy open lid intended for easy cleaning won't stay shut. The handle pops off and the plastic is paper thin. The only good thing is that it can connect to their other cages so you don't have to worry about empty water bottles and hatches that pop open. It does make a nice hideaway for the hampster

A Lackluster Effort at Best!
|
Of course we all know the computers players can do things that your players cannot, but damn. The computer throws balls through your defenders, receivers and scat-back will break 6-7 tackles on the way to the endzone and your receivers with 99 speed will be run down by the computers linebacker with speed rated at 84. Corners randomly run away from receivers leaving them wide open for long touchdown passes.......consistently. You can have a receiver double-teamed and they will both just run away from the reciever. Litterally...that is not an exaggeration. No play action or nothing...........just run towards the line of scrimmage. It has to be some kind of glitch in the game. If all that was already said was not bad enough, it freezes up in the second half of the spring game..........consistently. I exchanged a copy for another copy that does the exact same thing. EA dropped the ball on this one!!!!

Buddy you're a strong guy, smart guy, nice, why don't you change your stars today, become a knight, be the best to fight, heck fall in love why not? it will, it will, ROCK YOU!! And it will rock you, surprisingly, A KNIGHT'S TALE, is almost better than the Mummy Returns. The characters were all well developed, and you weren't wondering, 'what in the heck is that guy doing?' The lady didn't fall instantly for the knight, and that makes her smart. Almost all of the characters are intelligent. I like the movie when the characters are smart. And was I hooked into the movie? good-grief, i might have been chained to the chair. I was in the movie zone! When I'm really into the movie, I don't eat my popcorn or drink my soda. I ate my popcorn during THE MUMMY RETURNS. hint hint hint. Well, you should go see this movie, I'm going to buy it as soon as I can!! I can't wait!!

Best of all Concerts
|
This is my favorite concert DVD. Johnny is so upbeat, and you can tell he is happy! He is playful, throws kisses to the audience and pokes his trumpet player as he is leaving the stage. You can tell he is happy in his life, with June and his life is good. One of his concerts, I think it was this one but maybe not, he says he has had so many good times, he has forgot the bad. "I cant remember the bad times" he says. What a wonderful way to live your life. He was a lucky man. He loved June with all his heart, and it showed. I miss you, Johnny!!!

Evo comp
|
After reading everything I could find about this machine I finally went to a local fitness store to buy one. They wanted $800 for it! They wouldn't match the Amazon price so I got it here. I have to say it wasn't what I expected. This machine is BETTER than I thought it would be. Compared to running or a gym elliptical for the same amount of time (30 mins), I get a far better workout. It's solid and well built. Yes, putting it together was a pain but it only took about 45 mins. If you are thinking about getting the evo comp, do it. I wish I would have a few months ago instead of trying to read every review i could find. It's a gym quality piece of equipment and is a great workout. I'm a 33 year old male and am in pretty good shape. I'm 6'3" and it fits me fine. I'd be happy to answer any questions anyone has.

-Buyer Beware-
|
!!!WARNING-WARNING-WARNING!!!Most of the discs are 2 sided, which is unstable to begin with. Upon arrival and initial inspection, I noticed that almost all the discs were scratched on both sides. They are simply inserted into the packaging without anything to protect them. You have no choice but to actually touch the playing surface of the discs just to get them out, and once out, they don't play! I would not suggest buying this box-set. Spend a little more and get the films individually or do without. It doesn't matter how good a deal this seems to be when the damn discs are not playable.* All 35 discs were scratched.* 17 are not playable at all.* 17 freeze at various points.* 1 actually plays all the way through.

How can an anthology be so poor?
|
I was extremely disappointed by this SF anthology.I put the blame on the editor. The introductions to each short story are sterile. For example, "his work was first published in S.F. magazine." Who cares? The general editor touts how "rich" and "ambitious" the book is in his general introduction. Each introduction says something like "the author did most of his work in the 40's and 50's" without mentioning when the _selected_ work was written. You have to thumb through the acknowledgements to figure our whether you're reading a 40's or 70's story.Besides that, I found most of the stories uninspiring anyway. I do not understand the arrangement of stories. They appear to be in random order. Not alphabetical, chronological, temporal, or even cultural.If you're new to SF, I recommend starting with Hugo and Nebula winners. If those are exhausted, try "The Year's Best SF" series.

WHY?

WHY! why did my fav. character die! Well, you're not getting a name from me...nope. I think this book was very good. It was the first Lynn book i have read. I'm just waiting for the sequel (or has it came out yet?) i had bought it in the summer and didn't have a chance to read it until a few months ago. I read it in two days, i just couldn't put it down. It gets u involved. I think Lynn could have elaborated on the characters a little more, but other than that...it was a great book. A MUST READ!

Q.T. Pie
|
I love Tamagotchi! It is the best toy I have ever had! It is cool how you can take care of it and watch it grow just like a real pet. I love my tamagotchi and take very good care of it. I only have a V2, but I will get a V3 very soon. Some of my friends have V3s and love them. They look so cool. Tamagotchi is so cool and I would not regret getting a V3. I think anyone who wants a pet and can't get one would lovethis pet. Anyone who does have a pet would love it too. And, it's not just a girl toy. I know a lot of boys who have them and really like them. I can't wait to get a V3 and play with it all the time. Another cool thing is, it has so many different characters. You will get something different almost every time. I hope my advice about the coolest toy ever has helped you make your decision. You will not regret it. Bye Y'all!

I love Oddballz. It's terrific. I like it because you take care of wacky Oddballz petz and find out about them. Then, you click the Magnafing Glass button to record your descoveries! But, not everyone likes Oddballz, including the company who now owns the world of Petz and the company who owns Petz owns Oddballz, because oddballz are a type of petz. People sometimes say in a rather mean way "It's not as good as Petz 4 & Petz 5!" in a way like "No voice recognization! No clothes! Oddballz is not fun!" and some you cannot tell, because they just say, "Oddballz sux!" a million times. Now, even Ubi Soft & Studio Mythos, don't take intrest. They don't have PF Magic's PetzMagic. They don't like it. To ungreatful people who don't like taking care of cute oddballz and explaining they don't in a MEAN way...hear me, BE GREATFUL & NICE. Signed, StoryMaker. "Gotta trust the kid's review!"

How to lose $1000...
|
I too bought a refurb from Philips and it died like clockwork just outside of the warranty period. If you don't believe me and other reviewers here do your own research on the AVS forums. Read the horror stories. I wish I had done that before I decided to purchase it. Also, ask yourself why there are so many bad refurbs around. ANSWER: Because this TV obviously suffers from some inherent design flaw and has quality control issues. I agree the picture was great for the short time it worked. It also has great hookups for home theater, DVD etc. But how long will it last? Factor in Philips piss-poor customer service for the Total Loss. Never again.

More than just a dog story
|
I love this book for many reasons, one of them is that it includes a very interesting dog by the name of Einstein...a name that is completely appropriate. Dean Koontz once more weaves another fast paced, edge of you seat story. Two creatures are created in the confines of a labaratory intended to serve as a sort of secret weapon in times of war. One is hideous, hateful, extremely intelligent, and extremely dangerous and uncontrolable. The other is extremely smart. One is a dog. One is a combination of different species, which becomes known as "The Outsider". When the dog escapes the lab so does the outsider who's one purpose is to destroy the dog, for many reasons. One is it is extremely jealous and hates it with a passion. In the process of trying to find the dog, The Outsider savagely kills along the way. This is a very clever book who makes you ask many what if questions. Loved every word!

Wanted: Editor for Photoshop Book
|
Don't get me wrong...There is a ton of useful information in this book. The included CD has a great collection of images that really make the lessons work.But this guy is a horrible writer. That's not his fault. The floggings should begin with the editors. (Which begs the question: Were there editors? Some are listed, but what did they do?)I don't mind dense text, when it knows where it's going. But being verbose on the excuse of being conversational just doesn't make it. Also, there are no conventions used in the text to help you navigate. Remember -- the reader will be splitting his/her attention between screen, book, and maybe some scribbled notes. Text conventions like bold-face for commands, different font for filenames, etc., can go a long way.I'm using it in a university course right now, and the instructor feels compelled to explain what the book is trying to explain. That just aint right.

Sam Fox the dreamgirl next door.
|
This DVD has been out in Europe in Sone 2. This is not a video collection, but if you are interested in the woman, the sexsymbol, and the legend. This DVD is a must. Here is a private gallery with stunning sexy photos. The woman is nearly 38 years old, but she still looks like a teenager. The DVD follow here on tour all over the world ( Usa,Russia, Japan, India). Sam goes Bollywood is a winner. As a bonus you get Santa Maria, Let me Be free. This is a must for the fans. I would give it 5 stars, if there were more live footage. Maybe the american version gives you more bonus material. Its kind of short 60 minutes, but the prize it`s ok.

The original Slayer
|
This cd is not the best Slayer cd in my opinion but dont get me wrong it is truly a classic. 28 minutes of a brutal metal assault delievered by none other than the best in metal. Songs like Raining blood and Criminally Insane are the best on this Cd. Raining Blood is the Slayer trademark. It defines what Slayer fans know as the best in metal. The begining of this song into the opening riffs makes you want to yell SLAYER. This cd falls in with Slayer's best like Seasons and South of Heaven. The reason for the four stars is it ranks 3rd amongst the 3. If you like true heavy metal done by the best then buy this cd. Some think this was the standard Slayer set for everybody else. I dont agree fully but it comes close.

Amazing
|
The pure scope of this game is amazing! You have a huge land to explore filled with tombs, caves, swamps, castles etc. In your travels you have the chance to obtain and master an enormous amount of weapons and magic spells. I have never played a game that is more all-encompassing or complex. Despite all this, I do have 2 criticisms.1. When you get killed it takes a looong time to upload a new game. If you are fighting a particularly tough character and get killed multiple times, this can get fairly old.2.Too much talking !! This game is a little too cerebral and a little low on action. You can spend hours just talking to the hundreds (if not thousands) of characters trying to gain information about your surroundings.If you like a game that requires strategy and patience this game if for you. If you like non-stop action you will find this game rather slow.

100 Pound Beagle
|
We rescued puppy Elijah,much too small and starved. Humane Society had him listed as a "Beagle".Vet said he "might" make it. At 10 years old he is a 100 pound Walker Coon Dog Mix ,Alpha dog,raised like one of the family. We love him. He has the terrible skin problems periodically which many are experiencing lately. We have never fed him corporate food. We make it from very healthy recipes.Salmon Oil and a Coconut supplement are having quick results. We have been able to reduce his Benadryls dosage. I won't give him any more scary steroids.This product came very quickly, bagged and sealed. Eli loves it.Licks the saucer.All fish is a little smelly.This is no worse than a can of tuna. :O)

Rubbish
|
I suspect Flower's in the Attic was a lucky one-off. The rest of that particular series gradually worsened with each book. The 'Heaven' series is total trash. Tacky, trashy, and totally superficial. The name 'Heaven Leigh' makes me laugh, but is a good indicator of the dreamy storyline. It contains an absolutely unrealistic plot full of cardboard-cut-out characters. This C-grade 'soapie' is nothing more than a pathetic 'rags-to-riches' fantasy. It's full of 'beautiful' women with perfect figures and faces that 'ignite arousal' in any man. And 'dashing' men who are 'handsome', 'dangerous', and 'mysterious'. If you like your characters shallow and romantacised with no hints of reality or complexity than you'll enjoy the characters in these books. It contains as much depth as a puddle and is boring and predictable. Quite frankly, I'm embarrassed to have the series in my bookshelf but am not so cruel as to give them away to poor, unsuspecting victims.

These are for Bass...NOTHING MORE
|
When the box said "Strong Bass", they meant it. Don't pay mind to the marketing team's generic word replacements, like "strong stereo" and "dynamic" and all that other bull. What you gotta look for is "great base/treble balance".These phones, while very comfortable to wear, are a nightmare to listen to. Not that they're THAT bad, but they're JUST for bass. If you want to listen to nothing but bass beats, buy this now. If you listen to REAL music, don't give these a second thought. The bass is just overpowering and with the (still comfortable) seal it makes around the ear, the pressure sort of hurts if you're playing music too long. But that's just me. Maybe I'm a priss. I dunno. But I know classical, techno, jazz, and rock, and this made that music......simply put: sound bad.Pros: Comfortable, nice price for the size and materials used, LONG cordCon: Not music headphones--BASS headphones. Remember this.I'm returning mine tomorrow.

GREAT
|
I must say that I loved this book. Some readers have been dissapointed with the book given all the beatings Christina went through and the fact that the man she fell in love with kidnapped her in the first place. I thought the book was very well written, and didn't mind Philip's harshness. It was down right sexy. He was a strong man who knew what he wanted. Quite a nice change from the manicured men in todays society. Philip fell in love with Christina desite her defiance, and she in love with him, despite the fact that he kidnapped her. I don't think its too far a stretch either, her loving him after he forced her body to need him with his hands, because once she let him in, she felt the pleasure and safety being wrapped up in his arms.I would reccomend this book to any hopeless romantic. I can't say enough. I wish the book would have never ended. I am dissapointed that I finished it so quickly.

Not Part Of The Home Coming Series
|
The Homecoming series should have stopped after Earth Fall. This book takes place many many years after the end of Earth Fall. None of the original characters have anything to do with this book. The characters that are in, are poorly developed. The plot is very hard to follow and what I could follow, was uninteresting. I admit, that I did not finish this book. It was just to bad to keep reading. However, it may have had an excellent ending but I doubt it. The first four books of this series were some of the best that I have ever been blessed enough to read. However this book is not included in that list. I am typically a huge Orson Card fan, but he disappointed me with this book. I do think that if you were a die hard fan of the Home Coming series, you should at least attempt this book. It may be good to you. However, do not be shocked when it turns out to be horrible.

Good Laughs
|
I was expecting this movie to be rather bad. Just when I was beginning to think renting this film was a horrible mistake, Tim Allen's character encounters real aliens. The real fun and real hilarity begin here. The jokes had my boyfriend and I giggling for days. The special affects are good and there's plenty of action.The only down side to this film are the appearances of the pig monster and the alien enemy. The pig monster looks exactly like what it is--a man in costume. The enemy looked like a variant of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. In contrast, the baby aliens (obviously computer generated) were fabulous. Both their look and their movements were superb. Fortunately, the appearance of the pig monster is brief and it doesn't take much from the overall feel of the film. I was able to thoroughly enjoy the movie and would love to see it again. If you like comedies and you like Star Trek, you're sure to like this film.

Shaver Fine - Attached Trimmer Worthless
|
If you want a shaver this one works well. I feel the "pivot" portion is a marketing ploy versus actually helping with the shave. However I purchase a shaver for both the shaving portion and the attached trimmer (not the ear/nose trimmer). I have a mustache. I don't need much, just something that can occasionally trim that mustache. The trimmer is a total letdown. Maybe they forgot to sharpen mine but it is truly worthless. Now I need to purchase a mustache trimmer or a new shaver. I do like Panasonic shavers. And, again, if you just need a shaver this one does a good job. The nose/ear hair trimmer is also solid. It's just not large enough to do a mustache.

Clippers as described do a good job.
|
This Wahl Clipper set is a good product for the money. I have been using Wahl for many years and they make a great product. I will continue to use Wahl products in the future. This set was well worth it. It arrived to my house 3 days earlier than originally stated. Product was packed well and shipped properly. Comes with a lot of attachments and extras. Although the mini clipper did not meet my expectations, I still like this clipper set. I do wish the clipper set came in a hard shell case as opposed to a fabric one. But, I thankfully saved the old hard shell case from my old Wahl clipper set and the new one fits in there real nice. And another nice little tid-bit...the attachments from my old Wahl clipper set fits this NEW Wahl clipper set with no problems.

Music: So-So. Copy Protection: Bad idea.
|
Thankfully the band has tried something different...unfortunately it doesn't work. Perhaps the worst moments occur as The Millionaire Dave tries to churn out some anti-war protest material. Terrible stuff.Then there's the copy protection...I don't blame the band, but I instead blame the record label. No, it doesn't "crash your systems" or "fry your PC" as others have said. You can grab the ISO image and pick out the .WAVs then encode them for MP3 and you can iTunes your little hearts out. Is it a pain? Yes. Is this breaking the law? No - it's fair-use of your property, as long as you don't share it. Was this a good business decision? Absolutely not.

20 years later, and he's still right!
|
I've had a weight problem for most of my adult life. 20 years ago, I read Dr. Atkins' first book, and tried his diet. It worked like a charm--everything he said was true. I experienced no hunger, lost weight quickly, and felt good. But, I was very young, and got scared off by the prevailing 'nutrition authorities.' I forgot about Dr. Atkins' diet for 20 years, all the while battling my weight unsuccessfully with first one diet, then another. When I learned Dr. Atkins had revised his book, I bought a copy. Three weeks later, I'm more than 15 pounds lighter, and have been eating fabulous meals. I used to suffer headaches, joint pains, and depression, but as Dr. Atkins predicts in his book, those symptoms disappeared once I gave up carbohydrates. I feel better and have more energy than I have in years.Dr. Atkins presents a number of case histories, covers his reasearch, discusses nutritional supplements, and provides a nice section of recipes in this book.

"Getting in tune to the straight and narrow....."
|
The Who is one of the legendary bands that I have sadly overlooked over the years. Aside, from The Who By Numbers, I remained ignorant and stayed away from their other albums. I don't know why. Maybe it was because I just wasn't interested in their music. Well, now that I'm more open-minded, I've taken the chance and explored Who's Next, and it's been a HUGE pleasure. I can safely say that this album is just excellent. I know that I've heard snippets of "Baba O'Riley" and "Won't Get Fooled Again" now and then, but I've never heard them in full. Now, I can revel in the music completely, and it's a great experience. The other songs (such as "Behind Blue Eyes," "Getting in Tune," and "Bargain") are also brilliant. The only songs that are fairly weak are "Love Ain't For Keeping" and "Going Mobile," but it's nothing bad. This is an excellent album by The Who, and it makes me want to explore their other albums.Grade: 9.5/10

Great coffee!
|
Bought this coffee maker over a year ago at Macy's. Works great and makes delicious coffee - every day! After just two weeks, I broke the carafe. I was able to get a replacement online for about $15, no problem. The 14 cup carafe size is great for when I have company. I use the Aroma button and it does take a little longer to brew, but the flavor is worth the wait. ...So flavorful and delicious! Typically, I set the timer before going to bed and wake up with fresh, hot coffee. I have had no problems with the machine. It does beep when the brewing is complete - not a problem for me. The LED clock display is the only thing I might complain about. To set the clock you have to go around 23 hours and mine does not light up. ...Not sure if it supposed to be lit and mine is broken or if it is not supposed to be lit. Either way, it is a minor detail. I would definitely buy this coffee maker again.

Nit-picky, unrealistic memorization of details, NOT LIKE AANP EXAM!
|
I want to start by saying that I passed my AANP exam a few weeks ago on the first attempt. I used this book as well as the Fitzgerald book primarily for study, completing each book in it's entirety. I found this book to be frustrating, detail oriented, and incorrect in certain places (I used the 3rd. edition, not the 2nd.). On each chapter, I added up my incorrect answers. I scored between 64%-81%, never actually achieving the recommended 85%. This book did nothing but make me unsure of myself and create a lot of unnecessary anxiety (I graduated with a 3.95- I should never have been worried!) And the CD- forget it! I never scored higher than a 50% on any practice test. My advice? Fitzgerald's book is awesome as well as her CD's. Amelie Hollier (APEA) also has great stuff. More than you money, don't waste your time or energy on this book!!

Save Your Money for Star Craft
|
This is a semi-decent game. It will keep your attention for about 2 hours. Basically you play the Federation, Klingon, Borg or Romulans. You control ship production and deployment. Of course there is mining and resource management. For the most part this is basically Star Craft with Star Trek ships. The graphics are mediocre and the AI is horrible. The AI doesnt re-build once you destroy the enemy bases. I would wait on this game until it goes into the sale bin (and it will head there fast). This could have been a really promising game, the ship designs and attributes are ok-and I like the feature of being able to transport troops onto enemy ships and then take it over. Aside from that, there really isnt anything special about this game.Thumbs down!

The Most Unsettling Film of the Year!
|
I really, honestly have no idea why this movie was bashed. From the very beginning I was curled up in my theater seat, knees to my head. I was petrified. Just when i thought it was safe to put my feet down, I put them back up in horror. Also, the film was downright disturbing. The scene with the butterflies on the wall and the supposed "exorcism" scene with the bent back fingers had me cringing and my cousin, who was sitting right next to me, screaming her head off. She's scared very easily, but my other cousin and I were both petrified and we find it extremely hard to be scared. Why the critics and audiences bashed this, I'll never know. I personally thought it was a lot more straight-forward scary than the original 'Exorcist' film. Definititely not as disturbing, but it delivers a lot more thrills that are needed now-a-days to scare the desensitized modern audience. It certainly worked, and I don't think critics realize that.

So cute!
|
We have three of these, two bears and one puppy. Each of my three youngest has one. My five year old wanted one so badly for Christmas and when she got it she was elated. Then my 22 month old wanted it all the time so we got her one too. She goes to bed all by herself in the dark as long as it is glowing. Then we got one for the littlest 3 months, the puppy. He loves to look at the puppy while he goes to sleep at night. The wand which you can buy seperatley or it comes with the bears, lights all three of them at the same time from anywhere in the house. This is a great feature at night when the baby wakes up because I can turn it on from my bed and he will go back to sleep. My 22 month old turns it on to walk down the hall at night as well. I did only give it four stars because they do eat up batteries pretty quick but, still well worth the money.

disgaea anime review
|
This is simply a collection of the three/3 disgaea dvd's in one package. So don't expect more. Do the math. Three individual dvd's @ 100 minutes apiece. One complete series 300 minutes. It's definitely kid oriented ... well, 99%(Jennifer). One thing i did like was how the subtitles for the opening credits would alternate between English and Japaneses. Commentaries from series creator, & the one of the voice actors. The story made itself different enough from the game to keep me interested. My only complaint with the story was the never gave closure to the one episode. Who or what was that person really, & what was Mid-boss's connection? A second season would be nice. This is definitely a buy for anyone who is a fan, or just couldn't get into the game, & wanted to finish up the story. The game's advantage is different endings. Now that's a thought for dvd/blu-ray. Imagine as special feature home viewing you could choose how the story could progress, & perhaps end ...

Riduculous
|
Ridiculous to publish anything like this. Sounds as if a vengeful writer just can't let go of her mistake in life. How many marriages does it take to know you need help in relationships? How much control some women want. Even of their own children. Personally I saw the whole situation as a matter of control by both parties. A lot of people have custody battles. The Dr. did what he had to do to try to secure his parental rights too didn't he? Didn't he realize that if the writer filed for divorce that she would use the child as a leverage for alimony and support? After all he was a doctor and Betty was, well, what? I give the man credit for at least trying to keep his child in the only avenue he had to do that. Why isn't a "0" offered in these reviews?

WOW
|
This album is AMAZING. EVERY track is top notch. Every song has 5-star production and 5-star lyrics. This album is worth EVERY PENNY. Just pop it in, and listen to it straight, from the first song, you will be amazed.The track produced by Madlib is HOT. As usual, the Legends have their first track featuring every member spitting battle type rhymes. I admit, this first song surpasses "What Would You Do?" from the CD "Almost Famous".Throughout the CD, every member's verses are strategically placed through out the tracks so that their voices and styles greatly compliment each other or stands out.I recommend this CD for everyone. If you would like to take a break from commercial rap that's about jibberish, buy this. If you're tired of listening to nerd rap, stuff that makes you say "WTF?" buy this. Its some classic Living Legends material.The name suits the album very well, indeed a classic.

Very good
|
I started out my Ayreon collection by getting the Human Equation and Star One Live on Earth with the DVD. So I started on the best first. Then I picked up this studio version of Star One.I really like the live album. This studio album adds extra ambiance. The lyrics are cheesy - hey they are based on chessy sci fi material like Star Trek 4.Russell Allen and Damian sound really good. Dan Swano and Robert sing the low parts, which are not as good, but Dan Swano is better than Robert's low vocals on the live album. Floor does okay on the vocals but often she is lost in the mix. Floor's voice also doesn't layer and fill out well. Not bad, but not as good as her vocals with sister Irene on Star One live, which are simply awesome.Guitar tone is very good. Song structure is pretty good. If you like 70's/80's style of metal and synth overlaid with Arjen's humor, you will like this.

This is great!
|
This is a great anime if you like a challenge. When you watch the first few episodes, you'll probably scratch your head and say "What the hell is going on?" As time goes on, however, most of your questions will be answered. To fully understand the plot line, I've found that you must watch all of the episodes a few times and make some mental notes, such as what sounds or people were in the backround of certain scenes. This may help you figure out when an event occured. The series tends to jump around between the present, 5 years ago, and one month ago. It can sometimes be hard to tell when the scene is going on. Over all this gets a VERY good review from me. It's intriguing, mysterious, and creepy up to the very last episode. If you liked Serial Experiments: Lain, you'll LOVE this. Well, that's about all for now. I hope this was helpful to you!

Get it only if you need it

This is an RF adapter for your Gamecube. Yes. You may think wow a way to hook my GameCube up to my TV. However, an RF connection is the most ancient way on the planet to connect a game console to a TV! It was around with Nintendo's first system! It crams all the picture and sound together and results in a less clear picture and mono sound. Any TV that was purchased in the last 10 years or so should have a better available connection, Like A/V composite. (That's the Red and white jack for stero sound and yellow jack for video) Or even better, S-video (The big connector) with better picture seperation. However, the very BEST connection is component. It seperates all of the reds blues and greens and uses the white and red jacks for stereo sound. If you want to take advantage of Game Cubes progressive scan HD-TV 1080i capabilities on your HD-ready set, you should get the component connection cords that should be availble at the sytems launch.

Poor printing spoils a good book.
|
I was really disappointed in this book. Of course, I love Jane Porter's story, but this edition is definitely poor. My 12 year old daughter has enjoyed our Scribner's Illustrated edition and was looking for a birthday present for a friend. Since the Scribner's is no longer in print we thought perhaps this would do (the price was right). However, for $18, I was really disappointed. The text is so poorly printed that it is hard to read in some places. The tops of some letters are cut off. Others are, randomly, either very faint or very boldly printed. It looks like it has been mimeographed. Now we have to scramble to find a birthday gift. Don't waste your money.

Love Rick and Europe
|
What can I say? My husband and I have always used Rick's guides when traveling to Europe. I enjoyed this book because it shows you a side of Rick himself that you don't have time to get to know during his TV shows. It brought back memories of places we've been. And while reading, I made a list of places I still want to go. I just wish I could have read it before I made my first trip to Europe. It shows you more of what to expect. Which for us has always been just wonderful! The book is not a tourist guide like the others, but an insiders guide to Rick and his experiences. As for the humor, I found parts very funny. It shows a side to Europe that 2 weeks of vacation will never reveal. I loved it.

An excellent read.
|
It was interesting reading other people's reviews. People had complaints that never crossed my mind. Personally, I thought it was excellent. It took me only two days from start to finish. First of all, I enjoyed watching Bean and Peter's progression. Bean ponders on how Ender was able to beat about any enemy. Peter is forced to be more humble as he's outsmarted there are apparently others who are a step ahead of him. Among them are his parents, and are two of the most interesting characters in the book. I have to say, though, Bean and Petra's romance may not be appealing to some. Petra does, for some strange reason, want to have children with Bean, despite his altered genes and she's only eighteen at most? Furthermore, she knows he's going to die young, but she doesn't worry about that. The reasoning behind them getting together seems kinda weird. All in all, it was extremely interesting and I loved the ending. I highly recommend it.

This book made me sad...
|
I was highly wary of this book to begin with--and with good reason. The book is....ridiculous, to say the least. Ripley took the MOST far-fetched idea possible and ran with it, and that would be to have Scarlett go to Ireland. Ireland!! What's worse, is that when in Ireland, the villagers practically do a dance around her because they love her so much. Ugggh! No one loves Scarlett that much.The ending was probably the worst part of the entire book, though. It is nonsensical and improbable. That said, if you manage to detach the idea that this is THE Scarlett O'Hara from THE Gone With the Wind, the book isn't an entirely bad read. When I remembered that I was reading about the "same" Scarlett, I got pretty upset, because she's just not the same at ALL, and Rhett's not even there most of the time. He's only there when it's convenient.I guess I'd recommend reading it if you've never read GWTW or seen the movie. It's better that way. Much less painful.

GE speakerphone 29897GE1-A is very unreliable
|
I bought the GE speakerphone (29897GE1-A) for a corded speakerphone and answering machine combination. The speakerphone is fair, as the volume could be louder (2 stars). The answering machine part is worthless (0 stars). At random times the greeting reverts to a generic greeting, then tells the caller that the memory is full, even if the message counter shows no messages. Deleting messages (if any) does nothing. You cannot record a greeting, as it will respond with "Memory Full". You have to completely unplug it and let it sit, then reprogram everything. The only way you will know it has quit working, is when your callers tell you the machine quit working. I even have this phone on my computers battery backup UPS, so I know it doesn't even see power outages. Worst phone I have ever owned. If someone offers you a GE speakerphone for free, don't accept it.

Like a wet afternoon
|
I am always on the look out for new prog. This looked promising. After reading a review from someone that seemed to share my tastes, I gave it a try. Pallace is.... How should I put it. Lucky to have found a label. I spent my evening going through this CD for the 7th time in hopes to find something I enjoyed. Occasionally I found a passage here and there that I liked. More often than not, I am bored listning to this. It smacks hard of a band that badly wants to be prog, and imitates those who have done it correctly. All I can say in closing, put on I.Q.'s Seventh House and listen to the title track. I'm not one for lables, but if you want excellent neo-prog, put I.Q. on. It;s imaginative and interesting. PALLAS sounds slapped together and forced. I tried, lord knows I tried to like it.

A funny film!
|
This film was the most recent for both its stars Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder. They did three other films together,1976's SILVER STREAK with Jill Clayburgh,1980's STIR CRAZY and 1989's SEE NO EVIL HEAR NO EVIL. In this film Pryor is a conman who befriends Wilder. Wilder's character does a great deal of lying(he plays a dual role). Great support from Stephen Lang and Mercedes Ruehl. Ruehl is Elaine,the wife of Wilder's character. Memorable scenes include Wilder's character being scared by Frankenstein in a haunted mansion,also faking a corpse at a funeral(he thanks those who attended). Vanessa Williams is Gloria,who Pryor's character takes romantic interest in. In the final scene,Pryor,Wilder,Ruehl and Williams are on vacation in Hawaii. Pryor and Wilder have a picture taken with them both holding a sign that reads "Partners Forever". Great film!

The Rocky of the NFL
|
This book is like an NFL Rocky type story. Except there are 10 different Rocky's that are the focus of this book in the form of football players. Not to say that it is a ripoff in anyway. It's a book that truly stands on it's own. The author seems to be very talented. His first? Are you kidding me? Sometimes I laughed and sometimes I felt sad for them. Especially knowing that all this really happened to real people makes the impact even stronger. Don't let it's setting of it being preseason football make you think it's boring. It's a book of hope, determination, preserverance, and the cold reality of life that we all have to face. This book was so good it's compelled me to write my first review for Amazon. Congratulations Woody F. and I'm looking for your next book!

Totally disappointing!
|
This movie is totally disappointing! Too bad I HAD to give it one star - I wouldn't even give it that much! They completely butcher it! I am a Scarlet Pimpernel fan and was disgusted when I saw it! I've read the books and it is nothing like it!!It's a shame that it's even called "The Scarlet Pimpernel".What kind of disguise do you call a black coat, hat, and mask? Where did Minette come into the picture? Percy is not funny! Marguerite is rude, Chauvelin is a vile creature, Lord Tony is too short, the Prince of Whales is a nitwit and Percy is too stupid to be the Pimpernel! Did any of the script writers actually READ the book??I would not recommend this version to ANYONE!On the other hand...if you want to see a good one - get the 1982 one with Jane Seymour and Anthony Andrews. Now, THAT'S A WONDERFUL MOVIE!!

Missing 2.....
|
Love Billy. And this is probably the quintessential collection. Every song is a gem. Great sound. One thing. I owned the LP and cassette version of this and they omitted 2 songs on the cds. "Fool That I Am" and "I'm Falling For You". Strange. They're great songs. Granted there were more songs on the 2 cd set that weren't on the LP or cassette but.... would definitely recommend this. And if you can find the LP or cassette version buy that also so you can have those 2 songs. So far I have only found one of the songs on a cd and the sound wasn't as good.

Why subject yourself?
|
Friends is immensely popular. No doubt. And I guess I understand that. The characters are very much like the "populars" you find in high school. Maybe a little bit smarter. Definitely a little bit funnier. But they're are the same shallow, repulsive folks that--if you had a little on the ball--you tried to avoid. Like the plague. You know the type. The girls who were more attractive than average, usually really skinny, and way too chipper. And then the guys. Kinda clunky. No depth at all. Smug.As you might have guessed, I find it very difficult to watch this show. Far from making me laugh, these characters make me want to leave. And the writing is so flat, so corporate, so uninspired, that it amounts to junk-food humor, with a carefully orchestrated laugh track so numbed viewers know exactly where to laugh.It's because of stuff like this that I've stopped watching TV altogether. Try it.

Horrible Album-Bring Back Boreland!
|
There really is nothing that can be said of this album except that I hope Bizkit brings back Wes Boreland. The album is actually painfull to listen to. For starters, I have seen all the documentaries on Bizkit making this album and I think they are in deep trouble. Why is Fred Durst literally telling everyone what to play and how to play it? Where is the creativity and musicianship of anyone? Boreland was creative, or at least wanted to be. This time around it appears that whatever Durst wants, Durst gets. Not a happy mixture for a band. I say, bye bye Limp Bizkit. It was a good ride in the beginning. Now its just "that same old gag" which is not creative. Time to move on to other bands who are producing quality, CREATIVE music where everyone has an input on the final product. This album is just horrendous.

No more stinky Cocker Spaniel!
|
I have tried all kinds of dog shampoos. This is the best! I have the world's smelliest cocker spaniel, complete with contact dermatitis and chronically infected ears. This shampoo lathers up and he smells wonderful afterwards. I put some shampoo on each of my hands and put his ear flap inbetween and rub my hands together to wash his ears outside and inside (NOT in the canal of course!) and he smells great for a week. You know that's a long time for a dog! He doesn't seem to mind it! I tried a coal tar shampoo and he, the whole house, and I, smelled like sulphur for 2 weeks! So buy this! The price is right and I am sure that you will be happy like we are!

Awful
|
I loved the first Cabin Fever. So I was excited to hear that Cabin Fever 2 was comming out. I watched the movie and thoughout the entire time all I could think about was how much this movie sucked. It was nothing like the first Cabin Fever at all! They moved it to, of all places, a high school. The kids were so stupid and couldn't act. All everybody did almost the entire time they where sick was vomit all over the place. The only interesting part was when the kid cut part of his arm off. It is 0% like the first Cabin Fever. I would have rated it 0 stars if I could. Plese don't buy it. Don't even rent it, it's not worth the money.
