Buyer Beware
|
Purchased the Deluxe version that had a rebate and claimed to have the state included. Based on previous experience with TurboTax I knew it meant a download... not a problem.Then the problems hit. First TurboTax did not recognize my DSL connection. The only help from TurboTax was to download the update file and manually install. OK, just a bump in the road.Then I go to download the state tax and it wants a creditcard. Why? No mention in the hardcopy documentation, nothing on the outside of the box. Finally found the info buried in the help menu. Pay for the download then get a rebate. Wait a minute wasn't this included. Purchasing state and submitting rebates is very confusing (I've used the product for almost 10 years). Still unsure if rebate will be paid, tried to call support 20 minute wait no answer. Tried online support via messaging given the brush off twice. Poor service and deceptive sales practice.

I love my Sonicare Toothbrush
|
This is the second one I have gotten. They last a long time. My other one was 5 years old. It is great. I love how clean it gets my teeth. Since I have had one and have made an effort to also floss nightly, I have not had any cavities. Definitely takes the stress out of visiting the dentist...and I have had many cavities in my lifetime.This time I bought 3 sonicare toothbrushes, One for me and I gave them as presents to my sister and boyfriend. They love them too. My sister has gum disease and she says it is making a huge difference and my boyfriend uses smokeless tobacco and he also says it is helping. Says his teeth feel clean even right after waking up.Definitely recommend the sonicare toothbrush! But if you can get the one with the quadpacer. My original one had it, this ones does not. It just beeps to tell you when to move to the next area of your mouth, doesn't sound important but it does help.

Xbox tampered with - wtf?
|
I am in shock. The Xbox360 was alot of fun until I got the red rings of death. I called Xbox help and they sent a box. I followed the instructions in the box. Took the game out and took off the harddrive. I put the stupid thing in the box and dropped it off at UPS. I got an email a couple of days later saying that it had been shipped back to me. I received it "unrepaired" with a letter saying that I violated the Extended Warranty. I called Xbox and they told me it wasn't repaired because I tampered with it. I can't believe it. I never opened it or did anything to it other then mail it. They are cheats completely. The amount of money microsoft is making and they call me a liar instead of fixing it. I could only talk to an Indian guy (he was nice) and all he could tell me is I tampered with it and sorry.MIcrosoft's does not want to take a hit on all these crappily made consoles.

GOOD MIX OF HISTORICAL AND MODERN FICTION
|
A. S. Byatt won the Booker Prize for writing this novel. It, and the movie, are hard to characterize. Fiction, yes. Historical? Sort of, if fictional characters of Victorian England count. Beautiful scenes of England. A Yank that is not a total jerk (a novelty in modern British art). Believable acting. A predictable story. Yet, a compelling and very, very enjoyable movie for Anglophiles, romantics, ghost-story buffs, and obsessive movie-goers. I will watch this many times and I am reading Byatt's novel! She is brillant! A great Amazon purchase!

A Road less traveled
|
This was an enjoyable read, the stories came to life. No! I think a better way to say it is, these stories AFFIRM life. Ida Mae and was truly expressive of "the less sophisticated side..." of every one I know...including myself! "Kinfolks, really took me back, I have a dear friend that has stuck by me through thick and thin and in our humble life-long friendship (no matter how much trouble I seemed to get in) she could see no wrong in the woman she swears I was destined to be. "Home goings" fought and conquered an incredible portrayal of "SOUL" survival (who hasn't been "caught up" before and begged for a way out? "In Due Time" was nothing more than life nurtured by down -home wisdom. I'm still reading "All good byes ain't fone, trying to figure out what it means to ME... It's the shortest of t he stories, but IT SAYS ALOT!!!I was only disappointed that there were not more stories.Good luck Ms. Akins. Keep doing what you're doing!

A Must Have
|
My daughter is 2 years old and she has a severe speech delay. It was sometimes hard to understand what it was she wanted, whether it be food or doing specific activities. Ever since I introduced this tape to her, she has been signing ever since. Now it is much easier to understand her. She loves to watch the tape over and over again. She especially likes the way the tape features many other children with props as examples in introducing each particular word. The tape features the categories and things that go along with dressing up, food, animals, playtime and transportation. I would recommend See n' Sign to anyone. My daughter is happier knowing that she can communicate better with me. It has also promoted her speech. I love this tape and so will you.

Generic Junk
|
Even though the belt is described as Eureka, the item came in just the plastic bag it was shipped in. It did not match what the seller has a picture of, so I took it as being a generic, and not what I believed I was buying. Guess what happened after TWO USES . . . it broke. I was left without a vacuum for over two weeks until I purchased and received Eureka brand belts from another Amazon seller for the same price. Guess what happened when using the real Eureka brand belt . . . it worked perfect! Don't buy this belt, look around for the real thing.

The biggest Christmas Hit!
|
My granddaughter loves being in the car. She is 18 months old and makes the noise of the car and moves her hands and arms as if she was driving.So I decided to find her a "driving machine", if there was one. I found a few, and this one seemed to have the bells and whistles. Boy, does it ever.It works just like a car, has a key, goes into drive, neutral and backup, has a moving screen (windshield)with a car that will go forward and backward with the change. Windshield wipers, turning signals, cell phone and so much more. Rowan loves it. It is not heavy, so she carries it around with her and then sits down and drives. It seems to be made well, and strong. Time will tell. I would recommend this. Next year I will have to buy her a real car! WARNING! It makes LOTS of noises!

Absolutley Fabulous!! Move Over NSYNC Fredo Fever is coming
|
I knew Michael when he sang in the church choir I directed. He was great then and I knew he would go far, but he just keeps amazing me. His voice is so smooth. We used to call it "angelic". I think the term should still apply. He has mastery of a wonderful range, both vocally but artistically as well. My favorite is "This Time Around", but I am also entranced by "Heartbreaker". I feel the emotion and pain in his song for his father, "Your Gone". What a song writer. I hope Mike continues in his success and that he continues to surprise us all. You can help. BUY THIS CD NOW!

Good--but incomplete
|
Finally, this warrior woman's story is being told! This well researched biography reads like a novel. Peter Aleshire presents her as a hero to her people. He researches every battle and skirmish and reveals Lozen's known or most probable role in them. He shows that her warrior exploits took up the bulk of her life.He attempts to write from an Apache viewpoint. I'm not sure if he succeeds, but he does choose Apache sources of information over others, and admits his limitations as an outsider, even as he felt compelled to write this book.This book desperately needs maps and photographs. There are none. Lozen's life criss-crossed much of the Southwest and Mexico. Mr. Aleshire mentions a famous photograph of Lozen without including it in this volume. I had to go to outside sources to track her movements and see her face. So, I call this book incomplete.But, I am immensely glad this book has finally been written. It's existence is a hundred years overdue.

Terrific
|
I tend to take chances on CDs - and almost always am disappointed. There may be one or two good tracks, but after listening to the CD all the way through, I'm done with it - I don't want to play it again.Not so with this CD.I bought "Cafe Society,", put it on the CD player - and now play it daily. It's such a true joy to listen to a singer and think to myself "Wow - this girl knows what she's doing." And she does.Instantly, you zero into her pitch. Her pitch is awesome - always accurate, never falters. Her vocal tone brilliantly clear. Her phrasing is intelligent - while still being emotional. Lorraine Feather is clearly someone who understands the female voice - and enjoys "playing" with it. She is someone - to put it simply - who loves "making music."Her lyrics are also terrific. There's plenty on this CD to adore & recommend - but my personal favorites: "Something Like My Own," "Love Call," "The Right Idea," & "Cafe Society."This is a wonderful, wonderful CD. In two words: Buy it!

I agree w/ Kristen
|
You so-called *indie* people are sad. Why not just be, eh? Why not just like what you like without it having to fit into your sad prescription of indie identity. Lame.Anyhow, as for this CD. I like it. I like the poppy tunes, true, but as I delve deeper into the album--as the tunes roll over to 5, 6, 7--I find myself liking it even more. I love most of the tracks and especially 'Bury me with it'. I don't like track 3 all that much, but you win some, you lose some. This is an interesting record if nothing else.As for that gal who was offended by the swearing.--Grow up for christ sakes! We're not in kindergarten lil' girl. This is *maybe* music for grown-ups, and sometimes grown-ups (OOPS!!!) swear.

Great buy!

We purchased this wagon when my son was 7 months old. At first, he had no real interest in the wagon, but he loved the blocks. Now, at 9 months, he loves the wagon. He loves turning the wheel, and gets very excited every time he hears the music. He has yet to hurt himself in any way with this toy. Ethan just started walking, and he used the wagon to help him with his first steps. He pushes his wagon around the entire house, and will go out of his way to get it out, even when I've put it away. The only reason I didn't give this item 5 stars is because he has yet to really use the blocks with the wagon. He loves taking the blocks in and out of the wagon, and he loves to play with the wagon itself, but he doesn't put the blocks in the different places shown in the picture. However, I know it's just a matter of time before he does. Overall, this is a highly recommended purchase.

Casino Royale Review
|
Casino Royale was the first of the bond books. It was strange compared to modern day Bond. It was strangely oddly old fashioned and really never had much action in it. It involved Bond going on an assignment which involved card games. He was trying to bankrupt a Russian Smersh agent. Smersh is a Russian spy killing agency if you didn't know. When Bond was succesful at winning it, one of his assistants, Vesper was captured. I'll let you find the ending for yourself. I would r ate this book as one star. it may be Bond, but it is to boring. It managed to make me get to sleep every night. It could bore anyone to death if they want to read the thrills of Bond. Help! I hate just thinking about it. I do NOT want to see the movie.

A Mother's Subjective Point of View
|
This was clearly written from a mother's subjective point of view. While it included many of Margie's accomplishments, it did little to describe how she actually overcame obstacles in her path toward professional Grand Prix riding. How did she obtain exclusive rights to horses from Hidden Creek's stables? How did she manage entry and travel fees before she was a recognized rider? How did her size help or hinder her riding? One reviewer's statement that this was written from a "mother's, third person objective point of view" is comical. No mother can write about a child, of whom they are so obviously proud, objectively. This was clearly from a mother's subjective point of view. This could certainly be considered a "delightful diversion" by any pre-teen. Serious riders should stick with the Chronicle of the Horse for factual "objective" information. And I,too, question why the Kelton Family's review was left twice.

Can I suggest a little Bohemian Rhapsody gentlemen?
|
For the record, I'm not a kid, I just don't like giving my info out to the man. Moving on, Wayne's World is possibly one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. I think though, to fully get some of it, you need to love rock music and being a musician yourself wouldn't hurt. Wayne's World is truly a comic masterpiece. Sure some of the comedy is dumb, but that's what makes it great. Mike Myers delivers these stupid jokes in such a dignified way that they have to be hilarious. Example: Russell- "Okay, now we're going to go over the hand signs." Wayne-"Excuse me Russell, I believe I ordered the hand job."::laughs silently with Garth and others:: Wayne's World and Wayne's World 2 are MUST SEE movies. They have truly made my life better. Wayne's World is the best movie Mike Myers has done.(Austin Powers is close but not as good as this.) See it. Buy it. Love it.

Tediously narcissistic
|
I became attracted to this book by a Readers Digest exerpt. The exerpted part was about Koren's "almost death" in high school. I was fascinated and raced to the library to get it. I was deeply disappointed. Koren takes no responsibility for her own actions, she blames everything and everyone but herself for her drinking. I do blame her parents, they seem to have ignored her issues which were clearly so evident. Where the heck were they? I don't really care if she's an alcohol abuser or an alcoholic, but she isn't dealing with her issues and is probably going to fall back either into drinking or some other self-destructive habit. It's not a particularly well-written book, content aside. The four-letter words are annoying. I personally think that people use them as filler when they don't have much of substance to say.

"The exerpted part was about Koren's \"almost death\" in high school.",
"I was fascinated and raced to the library to get it.",
"I was deeply disappointed.",
"Koren takes no responsibility for her own actions, she blames everything and everyone but herself for her drinking.",
"I do blame her parents, they seem to have ignored her issues which were clearly so evident.",
"Where the heck were they?",
"I don't really care if she's an alcohol abuser or an alcoholic, but she isn't dealing with her issues and is probably going to fall back either into drinking or some other self-destructive habit.",
"It's not a particularly well-written book, content aside.",
"The four-letter words are annoying.",

Doing the Right Thing
|
The aliens arrive on Earth a real long time ago ... Urg and Oog the Neanterthals don't really appreciate them. Their space ship crashes and they are stuck. But wait! They have this injectable medication that puts them into sleep deeper than a Bear in the Woods. Hey Guys! Let's Make a Secret Cave With a Big Steel Door! Yeaaaaaaa! Time for one last meal of cold alien space gruel and then: "Quick! The Needle! -- Perchance to Sleep, To Dream, To Awake?". Along comes the wilderness fishing MD who happens to break his leg and find the cave. Aliens awake, nurse him back to health, teach him their language, help him get back to a laboratory, and finally allow him to join them in their next Little-Big Sleep to wait out the development of spaceships. The story is a mite bit shallow but the moral teaching is the point. Do the Right Thing and you will be rewarded. I have liked this story since it was first published and if you like medium-hard SF you will too.

Hit and Miss
|
I bought the 730us through Circuit City for 899.99. For this price, you get a great deal. But Compaqs seeem to have a lot of problems and are usually hit or miss. I know a couple of people who bought this laptop, and some said they worked great while others say they had problem right out of the box. First of all, I was lucky, and I had no problems and it works very well. And it is well worth the price. The only thing that I wish is that it had a cd rw, but you do pay for what you get and then some. I suggest that if you are going to buy one, you should put out the extra 250 or so dollars and buy the 4 year replacement plan. So if it goes bad you can get a new one. Another piece of advies that I would recommend is that you SHOULD NOT BUY IT FROM EBAY OR ANY OTHER COMPANY THAT DOES NOT OFFER A RETURN POLICY. Hope this helped.

Excellent read abou the history of Pan Am. Arrogance is a word to describe Juan Trippe (the founder of Pan Am). Trippe was always in conflict with politcal officals in Washington D.C. He even called all his enemies "primitives". Later, when Pan Am was in financial trouble, he went to Washington D.C. for help. Unsurprisingly, he did not get the bailout. The CEOs after Trippe continued a string a very bad buisness decesions that drove the airline out of existance. Plus, various economic facotors did not help Pan AMs balance sheets. The employees were (especially the pilots) always short changed every time a merger/"belt tightening" took place. While other airlines adapted to the Airline Deregulation Act, Pan AM struggled. If anybody wants to become a pilot, they need to read this book.

Give me a break!

I bought and read this book in order to see if it was accurate or objective, at all. It is not. Is anybody else sick and tired of being "managed" by the power elite if this nation? This book is just one more prime example of how we are all being lied to and manipulated. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of John Kerry. I think both the Republican and Democrat agendas are two sides of the same coin. They both lie and manipulate to gain/maintain power and control. Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out is just another fairy tale told by partisan liers. Wake up america. We are quickly losing our freedoms and our country... the freedom and country that our ancestors fought and died for. Listen to National Public Radio. It's the only major source of news that is not big corporation (government) controlled. Especially listen to Democracy Now on NPR. Give it a try.

Another great Cynthia Wright book -can't put it down!
|
I just started reading Wildblossom by romance writer Cynthia Wright. I've been anxiously awaiting it's release since finishing the Fireblossom (The Matthews Novels, Book 1). Let me just say that so far I am not disappointed!As usual, this story is wonderfully written and the characters are likeable. And the romance absolutely makes you melt into a puddle. Her heroes are always men you won't ever forget! I can't wait to finish this latest story! Once I do, I'll amend this review. I just couldn't wait until then to post, however, after seeing the harsh review left by another.Cynthia Wright's books are fabulous and best read in order, starting with Silver Storm (The Raveneau Novels, Book 1). I love how she weaves characters from each family together throughout her series. Download them today! You won't be sorry!

These books are awesome! I didn't have anything to read between the Harry Potter books, so I found these. I couldn't put them down. Eragon can be kind of predictable sometimes, but overall it is a really good book. If you think that just because you watched the movie, you don't have to read the book, you're wrong. I think the movie was very disappointing compared to the book. It would have been a good movie if I haven't read the book. Eldest is amazing! I think that Eldest is better than Eragon. Eldest shows what Eragon is going through and how the characters actually feel and think, but it is not confusing. It is also helpful that Paolini put a glossary of the ancient language in the back of the book.

We LOVE to watch Monster Trucks!
|
This tape was SUCH a let down. There was very little footage about Monster Trucks. Most of the tape was made up of clips of other types of Motor Sports. I thought the idea of "no talking" would be a good thing. The tape REALLY lacked appeal because you could not hear the sound of the truck engines. It was like watching a movie on "mute". You could not hear the crowd cheering either. It just took away from the enjoyment. Also, my husband thought that the tape looked like a home video. The producer chopped up the footage, and tried to make it interesting....which in fact took away from the flow of watching what little Monster truck footage there was. I would not recommend this video. It is nothing like watching Monster Madness on TNN... which is what I thought that I would be getting. I don't want other shoppers to be dissapointed as I was.

judge this book by its COVER!!! Horrible!!!
|
This book contains 224 pages. Pictures take up quite a few pages. Lots have been on the news for a long while. Some stuff is already on the internet for the public to read!!!!! Amber brought out some facts about her family and childhood that I have not heard about. Being betrayed, Frey talks about a few difficult months during the trial on SCOTT PETERSON. I was sorry for her, especially since she revealed to have gone out with Scott. Her words were a repeat of the trial testimony. I am glad that Amber Frey helped to convict a murderer. Thanks to her. Bad thing is, this book is dissapointing and dull and flat. The publisher rushed this book and it is obvious, especially sicne the trial only ended a little more than a month ago.

Don't waste the money
|
I "borrowed" one from a friend of mine that is a licensed groomer. She had one in her box of "junk" and let me try it. She did warn me first. "DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY"! The shedding combs work just as well and they don't remove ALL the fur from the poor animal. Believe it or not, sometimes these dogs with the thick heavy double coats of fur rely on a lot of it for insulation! If you used this item on your pet for 30 minutes, it would be bald! When I was finished, I was too embarrased to take poor Burger out of the house! I hope he'll forgive me someday. *LOL* He looked like he was in the middle of Chemo treatments! At least I didn't make the same mistake with this as I had in the past with the Dyson vacuum. I guess I'm a lot like most people; the more it costs, the better in must be. NOT! Don't waste your money on the Dyson either. A $175 Eureka works just a well.....actually better, with better accessories.

Moen hand held shower wand
|
Great great item! So easy to install! The plumber's tape that is required is included with the package. It's tiny, so keep your eyes peeled. Great wand with pause control. The long hose is wonderful and convenient. I searched the internet for hours looking for the right wand and couldn't find any others at much higher prices, that had a pause function. If you're looking for a hand held (it also has a cradle it sits in if you want a regular type shower) please consider this one. You won't be disappointed! Well worth the money and cheaper than many! My 80 year old mother uses it daily and just loves it!

How the hell....
|
I just bought this CD today, and listened to it on a LONG car ride. The ride was never so enjoyable. I kept rewinding and saying to myself "Now how the hell did he do that??" I mean it when I say that if you listen to Trance a decent amount, this will be up there on your favorite list. I purchased it because I had read an interview with PVD in the Sept.00 issue of DJ Times and he semmed like he only let the best go into his work. This guy knows his stuff. I love spinning his remixes, but when he produces his own work it is something different. It has the classic PVD sound and beats so many DJ's have come to know and love to mix. Soon to be a must to every collection. Great Work!!!

Re-release, re-release!
|
Please Mr. Lucas, please re-release this movie. Take into thought what the fans are saying. That's why Star Wars is as big, the fans. I've been a fan since the 80's and I collect Star Wars. I love the originals (ANH, ESB, ROTJ) and watched them regularly, I couldn't get sick of them. Then when I heard that there was going to be prequals, I was so excited. I can't believe that is the result. It's more of a joke to Star Wars than a part of the Star Wars Trilogy. Just cut some of the podrace, take out "Wizards" and "Yipeee" and Anakin's accidental blow up of the Droid Control Ship. The future Darth Vader couldn't do it on purpose. He's so strong with the force. And please take out Jar Jar's stupid antics and dumb jokes and sayings. "Ex-squeeze me" It would be a much better film and I think the fans would love it more. It would seem more like Star Wars.

Durable and a space saver
|
I used this rack when I had my first baby 2 years ago. I liked having a separate rack because it was easy to get to all the bottle parts. It also did not take up a lot of space. It also drains into a little dish so it didn't need to sit right next to the sink. I used it to dry 6-9 oz bottles, nipples, and parts to the Lansinoh breast pump. Once he was done with the bottles, I continued to use it to dry sippy cups. Now I have a second child on the way and will continue to use this rack.Didn't give it a five star because I find that some of the pegs don't fit in tightly. So, sometime they fall off as I am placing something on or off. However, I have not had it fallen off once an item is already on there. Another thing is that you can't spin the bottom section with one hand or you'll move the whole thing. You do have to keep one hand on the base. Not a big deal to me. The top moves fine.Highly recommended.

This band is way overrated
|
Ok.. They've got some degree of talent but there's 2 types of talent when it comes to music; Song-writing and playing. These guys only seem to have the later since they can't bring it together consistantly enough. Everyone raves about this singer and he's got good vocal range but horrible technique. He scoops nearly every note he sings and sounds like he's singing through his nose. Just pure crap.Helloween at least did some justice w/ "funny" songs but Edguy's attempts to be funny come off as crude, silly, and infantile. "Lucifer in Love" is just stupidity at it's finest. "Lavatory Love Machine"??? Y'ok Edguy... You guys are cool! Riiiiight! Sorry... There's better metal in this genre to support. You don't need to buy every garbage can of notes that's released.

The Sex-- The Se-- The S-- The Stallion
|
I have read many of Robbins' books. Most were disgestible. This one isn't. The story line is thin as paper. In EVERY chapter, there is a sex scene, in some even more. And there are many chapters. If you know all the family members of the Hardeman dynasty -- each and everyone has sex with various other people. And Angelo Perino with most of them. I think 50% of all words is about sex, adultry, teen sex or intercourse. COM' ON!The Betsy was a book about building cars. This books is about sex. Oh and some people are involved in the car industry.This is something you see more often with establised writers. Once they're establised, they're writing down crap, just to fill the paper between the covers and make YOU buy the book.Fortunately I bought this book at a flea market (...).

Boring! Long-winded! Very little plot!
|
What is she doing to this series? Clan of the Cave Bear was magnificent. Valley of the horses was interesting. Mammoth Hunters was tantalizing. Plains of passage was barely entertaining. This book is even less entertaining. She doesn't answer questions. What happened to Durc? Surely there is a lot more to his story and the flatheads then this. Surely, there has to be more going with the original clan. I mean, where is the story? She just rehashes everything again and again and it takes pages and pages and pages to get any plot. She is slow writer and I can't believe I waited this long for this thing. I feel like a flathead for actually reading this thing.

Below Par! B-52 Flavor!
|
Da Vinci Sugar Free Syrups with Splenda. There are over 30 different flavors. Trust me when I say that only a handful of all those flavors available is worth the price. English Toffee, French Vanilla are winners. I am sure there are a couple more but I am not going to spend good money on other flavors that are not even worth .50 cents. B-52 is one! How did it come to me? I do not recall ordering that particular flavor and they probably send it by mistake (we'll see when I ask for my money back. Over [$...] each cost!). Hard to describe the taste but enough said that when I added some to an otherwise superior cop of coffee this crap made me pour it all-minus that first sip-down the drain. B-52? What's that, an airplane? Because it sure does not taste normal to me! The aftertaste is enough to make you want to demand your money back! Yes, there are many but only the very few are worth the price.

Disappointing
|
As a dog lover who has struggled with her weight, I was prepared to thoroughly enjoy this book. Boy was I disappointed. I was absolutely horrified in the beginning. Why would you even get a dog if you were going to keep them in a crate in the basement all the time? And the ridiculous lengths she went through to find "quiet" foods? You've got to be kidding me. How bad can an 8 lb. dog be while you're trying to eat? And then, after they've "bonded", to take her to visit the family and leave her to spend the night outside in a crate? I just didn't get it. I wasted $11. Maybe Amazon will give it back.

A must see for ANY car guy or gal
|
The muscle car era isn't gone. It's caputured forever on film by H.B. Halicki and his crew. This is not a spoon-fed glossy holywood film. It's gritty and fast. It's about the cars. Forget the limited plot and stiff acting. That's not the point. If you want a "slick" production with subplots and great acting set in a backdrop of cars with dubbed sound (I didn't know that the Shelby GT's used Chrysler high tourqe starters; but I digress)see GI60S(2000)with Nick Cage. If you want to see real muscle cars in action in the wild, see this one. Listen close, turn up the subwoofer and you'll understand why hot-rodding a Honda in y2k doen't compare to a wound-up big block in 1974.

Blade Runner Blu-Ray
|
Blade Runner is one of my favorite movies of all-time. This collection is awesome. It has five different versions, including the ORIGINAL version that is so darn hard to get! The Original has the voice-over by Deckard/Ford, and is, in my opinion, the only version to watch. At least for me, anyway. The other versions seem 'distant' and 'dry'. I like getting into Deckard's mind, and the original version does just that.This is classic Science-Fiction meets Cop and Baddies. It is way cool and awesome!I am so happy to have found the original version! I would go to game and comic book conventions, they sometimes sell movies, but they never had a DVD copy. Now I have it! Wonderful! And on Blu-Ray no less!Two Thumbs Up!

I am your average movie goer- I love garbage
|
Any review that tells that you must love this film BECAUSE its absolutely stupid garbage is a joke. This movie is a joke. A very unfunny two hour joke. The cast, the acting, the action, the script, the direction, the special effects. Its 200 million dollars thrown down the toilet. This is not camp. Camp is intentional. This is a complete mess. A ship worthy of going down with the Titanic. A waste of Hugh Jackmans talent and time. If you must lower your IQ to enjoy a film, that is a sad state of affairs. This is why hollywood continues to give us garbage because there are those that eat it and call it candy.But hey you must love it...because its stupid and terrible. But thats why its good, right?(...)

Nice Sound, AM is bad
|
I have the Tivoli PAL and Songbook. Those are great. The PAL battery is not too hot, but the sound is great. So I bought the Tivoli Model One radio. One for my inlaws and one for me. The AM reception stinks. The PAL AM is fine. Not the Model One radio. Would not work well in our kitchen. Any other radio was fine. I emailed Tivoli and they recommended the AM antenna. No luck. That did not help. I live in the Seattle area, not "way out there". So I gave mine away (along with the AM antenna) as it was too annoying. I felt better knowing somebody else may like having it. Looks nice.:)Oh, the Model One FM was OK, but not as good as the PAL. My father in law uses his occasionally. I should have bought him the Songbook or the Sangean PR-D5P Portable Radio (real happy with that and it has RDS). I would get that instead of a Tivoli next time. But the PAL is slick, but those batteries just don't last. :) I had thought the Model One would be as good as the PAL. Oh well.

Ejects from Escort tape deck
|
Nice adjustable cable. Coiled so that you do not have to worry about loose cables in the car. Can move the connector to multiple positions. But it does not stay in the deck. Ejects after only about 30 seconds. My old one AS-470 did not do this. This one apparently does not work well with auto-reverse decks. I should not have to modify it to make it work. Not worth it. Avoid this unit. Waste of money. My old one, I had to place it with a certain side up, which made it work properly with Auto-Reverse decks.

Hitler's Rise to Power
|
Hitler rose to power when his book Mein Kampf, meaning My Struggle in English, became popular throughout Europe. He blamed all of Germany's problems on the Jews- they controlled the banks and the media, had money and didn't spend it, horrible for the economy. Also it was revenge for Germany's embarassment during World War One. The language is foul- kike this, Jew that. They set up concentration camp ghettos- sent into gas chambers and ovens. I think it is a sour taste on 20th century Germany. Thise who survived the Holocaust mostly fled to America. Martin Luther started the Jew bashing in the 1500s when he opened up the door to Protestantism. The Jews tried to reinvent themselves as successful. I think Hitler is a joke. Hungary was bought out during WWII and along with Austria was a big turncoat- Sweden remained a neutral country. I wasn't around during WWII, I don't know what it was like. Transylvania was bought out during WWII.

SMOLDERING GLANCES AND SUGGESTIVE CONVERSATIONS LEAD TO NADA
|
Sure, very cool. It is beautifully lit art on film, it's luminous. With dozens of scenes worthy of framing and mounting in galleries. And several artistic tropes like kitchen sinks, fluffy European countryside outfits, chillies, forgotten mirrors, color mixing palettes. Plus, some good ol' accordion music in the backdrop.All this produces the cinematic equivalent of window shopping. You can see it, but there's nothing to feel or experience. It's a chain of images of famous Vermeer works, and the historical detail is painstakingly realized.We get teasers of a budding love story, which gives us hope of an oncoming story, a theme. It never does. Oh yeah, it's supposed to work under the surface, but it ends up buried so deep that it's hard to believe. Smoldering glances and vaguely suggestive conversations lead to precious little.And then, thank you folks, it's time to go home. Which is where you should have been to begin with.

Very nice telescope
|
Having shopped around, a lot, and keeping it below $$$, this is a great telescope. The red diode star finder makes zero-ing in on objects a snap! Really! What a neet invention. This telescope is too easy to set up. And the computer control works great too. For the $$$, this IS a very nice product. My ONLY suggestion is to also order a stronger eyepiece than what comes with it. The two that come with this scope dont do it justice. Mars looks great, and with a stronger eyepiece, you can see the dark bloches/spots on Mars. It wont be like the big close-ups from the hubble, but you'll enjoy what you see. And the moon is so clear and close up, you will feel like you can take a walk on it. The tripod is ok, a little flimsy but does its job. A happy purchase...

GE 2 in 1 Internet Phone
|
I bought this phone a couple of years ago. I had absolutely NO problems with the Skype portion of the phone at all. Everything worked beautifully. The issue with the phone was the landline portion. I found that regular landline calls made with the phone were not very clear. I couldn't always hear what people were saying to me. It's like the volume would drop on its own. So, I stopped using the phones. Today, I decided to give them another try with Windows 7 OS. After downloading a firmware update the Skylink software and the hardware were recognized. Again, the Skype portion works well. The landline is still doing the same thing it always did. I can't hear some people very well at all when making a regular landline call. So, I guess I'm putting them away again. Too bad. It's a great looking little phone and works well in every way but making regular (landline) phone calls.

Very Good But Not Great - Although I passed
|
I rated the book not the test - the test is easy/simple. I passed with just reading this book - although I bought a review sheet (you know those sheets you can get at borders that just outlines everything) I reviewed for the clep for about 4 weeks - but I really didn't start to study for it until week before the test. I also work full time, I am husband and father, and go to school part-time on top of this. I passed with a 54 - to - 50. Which means barely. There are some, if not a middlepassage, of questions that the clep does not answer and you do have to have a basic understanding of sociology to pass. Well thats what the clep is for, and I think the test has changed some what. But the subject itself is very easy - just alot of names and definitions - other than that its nothing! Really!! Anyone can pass this test if they know those things! Good luck!

Please... Avoid This Item...

To start this off... THIS IS THE WORST BUY OF MY ENTIRE LIFE! I've bought this all right.. My first mistake. It's horrible. The case get slippery and sticky if you hold it too long, it scrathes so so easily, plus, it hurts your ipod itself! Mine all torn and scratcheds up cause of this piece of crap. I'd rate it a 0 if I could. It's horrible. The click wheel is messed up. I avoid hard cases now. Try and find soft cases. Nothing's good about this. The click wheel doesn't work properly anymore. since there's a tight opening, the whole click wheel is black and it's outlined in white! (Outlined in white because part of the click wheel is on the inside.) Adding all of this up...Pros: Nothing at all.Cons: Every single little thing.Don't think I'm negative. Don't say this other guy said it sucked, he's an idiot. I actually bought the product ok? I'm not lying. If you don't believe me... Buy it. You'll find out.

Progressive Masterpiece
|
Renaissance fans know this album. If your not familiar with Renaissance but like progressive rock you should definately get this album. My favorite song of all time, from any group is "Ashes are Burning." That epic masterpiece makes this album a necessary addition to anyones music collection. You get a 5 octive range female singer at her best on this 12 minute or so song. The song has many changes and great buildups in it. This song has always stimulated my creative energy for art & writing more than any other song. I get a lot done when this song is on. It's an amazing rock/classical music hybrid. One of rock musics finest efforts. If you are already a Rennaissance fan I finally found a current band that reaches the potential that Rennaissance floundered away in their later albums. The Rennaissance of today in my opinion is "Night Wish." Check them out.

I Feel Bad About Her Neck Too
|
I have always heard of Nora Ephrons talents but had never read anything of hers. As a humor writer myself, I decided to give it a try on my new Kindle. Well, I am so glad I did. I loved it. I could read a couple chapters at a time and go back to my work and then come back to it, since the story was made up of individual humorous essays. She has an easy humor, funny and easy to understand by women. She sounds like every woman and yet she is not. She is super woman and intelligent and famous. But both she and I worry about our necks. We have that in common. Wonderful book.

Excellent way to control your pet's diet!
|
This bowl is great. My extremely overweight cat is able to have controlled portions at all times, whether I'm there or not. He has made several attempts to "break" into the bowl but no success. I have not seen any chin acne as other people have said. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to control their pet's food portions.**Updated review**I bought this feeder more than three years ago and it's still going strong. My cat has lost 10 pounds over that time! Also, there have been several times where I will come in the room and the bowl is halfway across the room from where it should be. He is trying to break into it but he never has! This bowl has never failed. It works very well and I still haven't seen any chin acne. Definitely worth its money!

DON'T DO BUSINESS WITH THIS SELLER!
|
This is the worst seller that I have ever done business with, and that's saying something.They outright lied, tried to do a bait-and-switch to a greatly overpriced item, and refuse to respond to email messages!Like others, I ordered this on a Saturday. They claimed there were 10 items left in stock. Later that day, I checked again, and they were down to 7.On Tuesday, I got an email message from them. They claimed that the Warehouse ran out of stock over the weekend. Hello? If that was true, why did you accept my order? Or wait 2 days later to tell me this?Then they tried to sell me a different product at about $25 per bottle. Nukepills has the same bottle, in stock, for $9.99! With a list of 19.99!What a con job!Then I sent several email message to them, all of which have gone unanswered. The last one was to cancel the order.I will never do business with these clowns again. Buyer beware!

Once again....
|
I'm blown away by another superb album by an incredible, little-known band named Pinback. This album is wonderful. From the first song, until the last, this album holds me captive. The first song, "Non Photo-blue" has the same Pinback sound expected from previous albums, such as Blue Screen Life and the self-titled album. This song is great. I bought the album two days ago, and I can't stop listening to this song. There is a sense of maturity on this album that is not present on the others. Maybe absiv and robc are growing up. They are coming into their own as artists. Other great songs include "Bloods on Fire," "Fortress," "The Yellow Ones," and the closing song, "Scent." All of the songs on this album are incredible. If you have never heard Pinback, I recommend picking up any of their albums. And, if you get the chance to see them live - do it. They are amazing live.

Pilot Pens Are The BEST
|
For the past 35 yrs. or so I have kept a diary. A full page a day usually so I went through a fair amount of pens over the yrs..I used to use Bic and became so disgusted because usually about the 1/2 way point they just would stop writing...every time....not to mention the blobs and skips. The search was on for a good pen. I came across these Pilot pens and haven't looked at anything else since. In all these yrs. I never had a Pilot pen quit until it was completely empty.No smears, no blobs ever. They feel very comfortable in my hand.As all the rest of the people on here write they are getting hard to find. THANK YOU AMAZON!!I think people are too busy to notice they are throwing out pens 1/2 full most of the time. I just bought 2 boxes as I am afraid these won't be around much longer so if you find them stock up.I believe they will last yrs.. These are real value for the $$$$$

Good, but rather short
|
This book is a good account of the history, tactics, and accoutrements of the various Freikorps groups that proliferated in Germany after the First World War. It is well-written, shows much research, and is copiously illustrated.My only "complaint" is that it is so short --- about 60 pages, and much of that is taken up by photographs and maps. In spite of the brevity, I came away with the feeling that I had gotten a fine account of the Freikorps. I don't feel that anything was "left out." But this book was more like a long magazine article. Not that there's anything wrong with that, except that it is priced like a book.This was the first of Osprey's "Men-At-Arms" series I've ever read. I find the series impressive, especially for its illustrations. Would I read another book of the series? Certainly! Would I BUY it? Not likely ... Not if I can get it in a library, or only if the price were cut in half!

red wine to light beer
|
Why I chose Grado.I was going to get a pair of beats but didn't want to be seen wearing them. So I was doing research online and found a company that made headphones in the US. Cool. Then I learned they were in Brooklyn. Excellent. Then I learned that they are said to be one of the best. Awesome.Why I chose the SR80i specifically.I googled beats vs . . . And all the regulars popped up, Bose, Sennheiser, Sony, etc. And for Grado the sr80i was the model that challenges the beats according to the google. $200 vs $100Anyways . . . my buddy has some Beats and he loves them. I love my Grados. I like red wine. He likes light beer.I like to listen to the pickup selector popping on Jeff Beck's guitar. He likes listening to Poppa Roach. I like to think if you have a record player you wear Grado, and if you torrent music you wear Beats.But I agree that the Beats have more bass. So naturally, the SR80's sound more . . . natural.

The Marriage Test
|
I couldn't even finish this book and I'm angry that I spent $6.99 for it. I wouldn't even rate it one star. I really use to enjoy Betina Krahn's books, but her series of the Husband Test, the Wife Test and now this latest bomb are good only to put you to sleep. The characters are wooden and never fleshed out, the male character whines throughout the whole book. They barely kiss but all of a sudden are in love. There is no chemistry in any of these books. Either the author is writing a love story in an historical period or the author is writing a historical account and just throwing 2 people in it. There is no heat, no interest, no nothing. What happens with these authors? They get famous and then start charging a ton of money for books that are good for 12 year olds. Don't waste your money.

Grand Action Packed Conclusion!
|
Trudi does it for me with this final book in the trilogy. There is tons of action, further character development (when you thought you knew everything) and so much going on you thought you couldn't keep track of it, but because it flows so well you do. Sonea is fully "there" as a character in this book. We get to know Akkarin, The High Lord, much better - where we just glimpsed him before. Akkarin actually turned out to be my favorite character. He is very complex, not unlike most humans. Cery, has a much larger role. I missed him in book 2. The story of Dannyl and Tayend, which was a little tedious in book 2 for me, is very enjoyable in The High Lord. All the way around I feel like Trudi did a fantastic job of keeping you guessing. If you want an author that will always surprise you Trudi Canavan is the one for you.....and me.

WASTE OF TIME
|
There are so many posts from people who obviously ignore the truth of fat, carbohydrate, and protein metabolism. Everyone seems to be showing all the information in this book as fact when in reality they have not even looked at REAL research on MEDLINE. I'm sure you have lost weight on a low-carbohydrate diet. Anytime you completely cut out a macronutrient you are going to be eating less and losing weight. IT'S ALL ABOUT CALORIES PEOPLE! A lot of the initial weight lost is water. I recommend going to mypyramid.gov. You can get a food plan listed in servings you need. Go to a dietition. LA weightloss is better. I rated this book a 2 because it simply lacks real information that you learn in a college nutrition class, but since people have lost weight...buy it if you like. You'll only gain it back. Lifetime weightloss can only be acheived by a LIFESTYLE CHANGE.I love the reviews that say "excellent for low carbers" and "dieters". That makes it sound like it's a hobby.

Is it hot in here or is it just ME????

Turn up the air conditioning and PLEASE have a man on standby!! Whew! The visual pictures this book evokes is nothing compared to the feelings it stirs up! Girlfriend, you are to be commended for putting it out there and going where no one has really had the nerve to go, and tastefully at that. I have never been a short story person, preferring the evolution of the characters and storyline in novels. However, each story was so well rounded, it was like small doses of chocolate. Just right and hits the spot, even though you know you're not suppose to be having it at all. I can't wait to read Addicted and Shame On It All. If the short stories are that good, I can only imagine that one concentrated story will be off da hook! For anyone who feels they have gotten into a rut cause you've been married or together for so long that sex has become routine, then you NEED this book. Trust me. It'll open up a whole avenue of new ideas!! LOL Zane, keep of the good work.

Trying something new but really cool
|
I thought their last effort was kinda soft and lacked enought thought to be a good CD. So I was hoping this one would do the trick. GREAT CD!! They sort of stray from the Heavy guitar sound that carried them in earlier efforts and go for a Dream Theatre keyboard/sound with heavy guitar. I personally think the keyboard addition gives the sound a little more melody and adds some spice. As for the previous reviewers comments on no melody within the choruses or songs, I didn't find it to be true. This is a solid CD with some minor changes that any power/melodic METAL fan will love!! I found it to be a back to the basics CD. everything is simple and to the point! Sometimes you just need a catchy riff some solid drums and a good tune. This CD delivers that. Nothing elaborate, just straight ahead METAL!!!!! ROCKON!!

Pretty to Look At
|
I received this set as a gift from my wife. I loved it at first. It looked good on the counter, the stand was solid, the chrome and ceramic matched my wife's decor, the razor had a solid heft and seemed to give a closer shave than even the turbo razor itself. I loved it. Then, after about 2 months, the handle, which is apparently a ceramic sleeve over a metal shaft, became loose causing the blade to spin on the handle. If you try to shave with a 2 piece razor with a spinning blade you're asking for your first dueling scar. Ouch! Thought I could unscrew the end of the handle, slide off the ceramic, add a dab of Gorilla Glue, put it back together, and voila, good as new. Try as I might, I have been unable to unscrew anything, rendering the razor unusable. If you want something that looks good sitting next to the bathroom basin go for it. If you want to shave with it, spend a little more and buy something else.

weak

I was not impressed with this book. It is short (140 pages of large print). It lacks detail. It is simply a rehashing of some basic facts of the War in South Carolina. It appears more like a college term paper written by someone who read "The Road to Guilford Courthouse" than a well researched book from a College Professor. I read "The Road to Guilford Courthouse" only a few weeks before reading "Partisans and Redcoats". Believe me, "The Road" is much, much better (only lacks maps..but otherwise very good). For someone in middle/elementary school or possibly high school Edgars work might prove satisfying. Perhaps someone with a limited interest in history might find it useful too. That is the only reason I gave it 2 stars. Get "The Road" instead.

A Spellbinding Movie!
|
There is but one way to describe this movie. Outstanding and breathtaking. There is never a dull moment in this movie. John Travolta does an outstanding job portraying a villain. Christain Slater plays the role of the hero just as well. The character that is played by Travolta literally steals some nuclear warheads with the evil intentions of making a profit. It becomes the duty of Slater to apprehend the bad guy. There is an exciting chase across the country that will keep you on the edge of your seat. One of the nuclear devices is actually detonated. After a scary chase there is an exciting conclusion to the movie. This is one of the better movies that you will view. Be sure not to miss it.

Good if you like trash.

When I bought this CD I figured I'd find at least 5 or 6 good tracks on it since there are so many. After listening to the album for about a week I decided to send it back to the producers. I put the cd back in the case and mailed it back to chicago with a note asking for my money back. One year has passed and I still have yet to see my money. Don't buy this CD until you are able to listen to at least a couple tracks first. When I bought it I hadn't heard any of it and was dissapointed. I guess Twista doesn't do it like he used to. He's sold out especially since he went to Roc a Fella. Maybe Jay can give TWIST some better beats while he's there. I wanna send a shout out to Big Al in Vegas and my dogg Andy K out in Arizona. Holla!

Sloppy and error filled book.
|
Asian Cult Cinema is a bad book. The reviews are flawed and the information is either flat out wrong or badly researched. The movie synopises are down right absmaland headache inducing. I bought a copy of this book back in 1997. After reading it and doing my own research I sent the writer a huge list of corrections. I recieved a postcard with a note of acknowledgement. A few years later it was reprinted with the same errors.Instead of buying this book go out and get a copy of Hong Kong Babylon. At least the writers went out and did their homework and put some time and effort into it. A.C.C. is flat out aweful. I would avoid it like the plague. Even the pictures are mislabeled. At his website he charges high prices for videos that are availible elsewhere. You even have to be a member just to purchase these videos. For shame.Don't even think about it!

not a cozy mystery
|
If you are interested in the book but discouraged by the one star reviews, click to "Search inside this book." The beginning seems representative of the work. The narrator maintains a distance between the reader and the characters. (Contrary to what a reviewer said below? above? the author does not jump between narrators; the narrator is omnipotent. The narrator's focus changes.) The lines are spare. There is police procedure.This is the best first novel I've ever read, as far as I recall. I do love mysteries, though."If he'd asked her, Erszebet would have told him that his wish for a conclusion is delibab. Magical thinking. A mirage" (203).

This is a VERY Bad Item...
|
As the previous review indicated, you can't write on this. Actually, you CAN write on this, but you need the right chalk. I bought two different kinds of chalk that looked exactly the same. One chalk made a faint mark on the chalkboard, and one made a fainter mark. Yes, you can write on this, but the writing is very faint! ;) And yet, the chalkboard you see in the picture does not match the one we got. The area you could write in was gray, and the border was larger. And you can only write on one side of the useless chalkboard. Yeah, you really only have to write on one side, but...This is all I can say about this chalkboard. Overall, this chalkboard is useless. I have yet to find a good chalkboard...

"The Soul Sessions" is Soulful
|
"The Soul Sessions" has come along at the right time. This is exactly the kind of CD that we need to embrace. It stays away from slick production gimmicks that are sometimes used when there are weak vocals. Fortunately, it focuses on good music and good singing. Her voice really shines through on all of the songs. The potential is obvious. Joss has substance and style. She doesn't come across as a newbie, but as an old pro instead. I wish all sixteen-year-olds had the polish and finesse that Joss does. I look forward to hearing more from this extremely talented young singer. This is an excellent debut. Buy "The Soul Sessions." You won't be disappointed.

We Were Not Impressed...
|
The book didn't pull us in...the characters were shallow and superficial; there was no point to many of them. Jim? Who? What is happening with Sally and Fredrick? The only reason we kept reading was because we had to. None of us really liked the book...we ordered it because of the excellent reviews, and were disappointed by the reality. It had a good basis and general idea, but the book didn't go where it should have. There was a lot of potential, but no depth to the characters and nothing was really thought through. Many parts of the book could have gone more into depth, but Pullman just glossed over most of the important parts and interesting subjects and facts. For example, the photo shop. No one cares. But, the history of the ruby was an interesting topic that was not elaborated on, and the ruby itself was almost dropped out of the story. In conclusion, we were not all that thrilled with this novel.

Goodbye gas mower.....forever :-)
|
I had this mower out of the box and cutting my grass in 15 minutes flat. I thought the cord would be a nuisance but it's not because I don't have a lot of grass to cut. This mower is light enough for me to maneuver with one arm. The mulching feature works great and the mower cuts the grass evenly and neatly. It is very quiet too which is really a big plus. Unless I had a lot of grass to cut I would probably never buy a gas mower again. I'm glad my wife talked me into trying this mower. My old gas mower was starting to act up and starting it was becoming a nuisance. No more fiddling with the carburetor and getting gas all over my hands. Another plus is that you don't have to "winterize" an electric mower. Amazon was great and had my mower delivered in 3 days.

WONDERFUL!!!!
|
This production, from start to finish-is excellent. The principals are all uniformly terrific and seem to be having a lot of fun. What I love especially about this production is the smooth transitioning between musical numbers. There's never a static moment. I thought the addition of the dancers (the "Zanies") was a great idea, using them in the overture was a stroke of genius. It immediately involved the audience in the world of the play. It is also amazing how well the entire cast can dance in addition to singing so well. If I'm not mistaken, these were opera singers-no? Quite astonishing-in a good way. The choreography struck just the right balance-not too difficult, but perfectly executed to create a great illusion. The Cachuca number with the life-sized dolls was a stroke of genius and really funny.This is an exhilarating production.

Moon Called... and I hung up!

UGH! I get that this book was geared for the YA audience but can we give the reader a little credit? Simply because something is targeted for a younger audience doesn't mean it should be dumbed down.The protagonist in this novel is a little over the top, and is clearly written as the anti-Bella. Tough chick with an attitude. Which is great, as long as there's some substance or wit to counterbalance the snark, it just doesn't exist here. There is far more successful YA fiction out there. Try Hunger Games or Bad Girls Don't Die if you're looking for something in this genre. If love is what you're looking for, try a Sarah Dessen novel or something by Elizabeth Scott.Is short, this book was so painful I simply couldn't get past the fourth chapter. The writing is bland, the characters even blander and the plot is beyond weak. I really couldn't care less if I was paid to. Again, UGH!

Another great story by Noire. Characters you love to hate. Andre aka "Don't want to rap it up" aka "Thug-A-Licious" Williams leads the pack with his talent, smooth talk and womanizing ways. But no matter how many women he beds no one can take the place of his lifetime love and soulmate Ms. Carmeisha aka "Muddah" aka "No back bone" Vernoy. Both face many challanges along the way and the main one was Carl aka "Pimp" Williams. From beginning to end he leaves his mark by doing the most scandalous things possible. He is Thug's cousin but acts like his arch enemy and a wolf in sheeps clothing. He preys on anyone no matter what age and doesn't care who he hurts. Family or not. His presence sends chills up your spine because he is nothing nice. This book was a page turner and the end proves meaningful.

Brilliant!
|
The perfect `T&A' movie! The movie America deserved, not desired. After twenty minutes, the nudity and sexuality is rendered banal, and the film is a stylized interpretation of America's obsession with sex and a metaphor for women's self-degradation while harnessing sexual `power'. Nomi is a victim who sees herself as a survivor while the men in charge absent-mindedly exploit her and then dump her at will. You have to be incredibly insensitive to find this movie exclusively erotic and not disturbing. Bad acting? Yep. Gratuitous violence? Yep. Did Berkley realize what she was getting into? Probably not. Still, worth seeing along with "Starship Troopers," Verhoven's masterpiece of war culture. Seen together, the brilliance of `Showgirls' shines through.

no matter how i look at this work, ican't be satisfied. a wife runs from an abusive husband. she must create a new life. her husband begins to hunt for her. but that is part A. part B is that there is another world welcoming rose, trying to protect here. here is where the real goodies are. good descriptions, though not that great in concept. pretty bad actually. but this is where it gets interesting. actually the book may not be so bad, but it got abit confusing. was i supposed to experience thrills? horror? drama? this seemed to be a mix. the synthesis isn't healthy. some of the stuff here gets...corny. especially between rose and her "admirer". this could have been a good read, but it's so mixed i'm having problems digesting it. it just seemed incomplete, confusing, or a bit amateurish.

This thing is worthless.
|
I have trouble with squirrels and small song birds nesting in my yard and in my attic. The Bird-X seemed to be the ideal answer to my problem--- And had it worked as advertised it would have been. I have this large live oak not l5 feet out from my back porch. After placing the Bird-X in a sheltered spot on the porch and turning the volume up full bore I sat back to watch the action. Nothing. Absolutely nothing. As I sit here now, writing this, a pair of squirrels and a couble of mocking birds are just busy as beavers building nests within a few feet of the Pest "repeller". I don't know what you can do to get rid of insects but as far as birds and small animals go you'll be much better off investing in a 20 gage shotgun. Don't even THINK about buying this piece of junk. Or, If you think you just gotta have one. Tell you what--- I'll sell you mine for 10 bucks. How's that??

Must Have Bluegrass
|
Jimmy Martin was a great bluegrass singer, with a wonderful, distinctive voice. He wrote lots of great bluegrass songs. He had a great mandolin player, Paul WIlliams, who played Jimmy's F4. A lot of his songs are corny, but that can be fun. To my ears, he wasn't often singing from the heart, but maybe he was. I'd rate about 80% of this set 5 star, but some of it is lamentable. Thus, 4 stars. When he brought in some backup singers to coo in the background, that was terrible. Attempts at sounding like Nashville country didn't work for me. I didn't much like the snare drum. I can't stand his taste in clothing and hats, but I love the singing, most of the songs, and the mandolin.

Frustrating Copy of Fine Film
|
To start off, I think Charade is a fine film. I bought this dvd and was so frustrated with it that I gave it away. Every time I hit play I got the trailer. I could not get the movie to play except by going to the scenes and starting at scene 1. If I wanted to see the start, I had to reverse to the beginning. It was very frustrating. While Charade is a great Cary Grant movie. This version of it is not. The Criterion version is the one to have. If you have ever bought any of their dvds, you will understand that they strive to have the best copy of a film available. And they only restore great films which this is one.

Stand out from the crowd and find a job fast
|
I read Carl Boll book 22 years ago. I used his strategies to find a job. Twenty years later I am still with the same company. I loaned my book to over a dozen people through-out the last 20 years. Each person was able to find a great job. Carl Boll takes the mystery out of job hunting and shows you how to make a potential employer call YOU for an interview. Yes, even though his book was written before email, fax machines and computers his strategies are still as great as they were back then. Basically, when you are prospecting a potential employer you want to stand out from the crowd. Executive Jobs unlimited teaches you how to market yourself in a professional way. I am an employer now and over the years I have only received one broadcast letter. I hired that person and they still work for me today, over 7 years later!

Standard romance
|
This is my third book to read of Carly Phillips and will be my last. The books that I have read are awful. Because of the ratings, at first I thought it was just I, but it's not. Everyone is beautiful and shallow, which is your typical, standard, safe romance novel. I doubt that this author will ever write beyond her safety net. Chase was okay, but the drooling over Sloan was overkill. Also, what is it with this author when comes to eyes. "His gaze keenly centered on hers, his intelligent eyes or his blue eyes met hers, deep and questioning." I didn't know they still wrote things like that. Body language, yes, but I've never understood a person or their intent by gazing into another person's eyes. Facial expression - yes, eyes - no. I wish I would have known before I bought this book that this author is geared more toward teens and young adults...

Very average series -- disappointing features
|
This is a very average SF series. For most of the episodes I found myself checking the time to see how much time was left. Most of the story line is not at all compelling, though there are some episodes that are quite good. The acting leaves a lot to be desired; however, Lexa Doig is well worth watching. That cannot be said for most of the special effects, which appear to be vintage 1970 and used repetitively. As for the DVD set itself, I like the compact package. I really liked the price; I got my set for $80.00. The deleted scenes are okay and the "tours" with the cast are very interesting. The bloopers are lame; surely there were more and funnier mess ups. One big NEGATIVE is the lack of close captioning. Overall, I am not unhappy that I bought the set, but I will not put Andromeda in my "will watch again" pile as I did with Firefly and B5. In fact, I will most likely put it on ebay.

It rocks! Everyone buy it!
|
I hadn't heard too much of Skillet, until I went to one of their concerts. I became so totally obsessed with them after, and I still am after more than three months! My fave song is "More Faithful" although that's a very tough choice to make. They're all so good! The only song I don't really like is "Pour". It's a great song, but they shouldn't have stuck it between "More Faithful" and "Suspended In You", the two best songs on the album. More often than not, I skip over it. I also really love "Whirlwind". What powerful lyrics! I find "Scarecrow" to be the story of my life, and it is challenging me to change. Basically, this CD is a winner, because not only does it have powerful, God-centered lyrics, they are driven by equally powerful musical passion. I was also really impressed by all the band members humility as they were on stage. They didn't want people to worship them. All our worship went to God that evening.

WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT!!!!
|
All I can say is this album is a big disappointment!!! It was cheaply produced and it shows!! No big orchestra or big band to back up Andrea. Her selections of songs are badly chosen for her. What is Andrea singing Rock for? Pinball Wizard and Starlight Express ??? The arrangements for the song show no imagineation!!! As for Andrea's voice.. it still is powerful... this album just doesn't show it . Please Andrea if you ever get a chance to record another album... get somebody with taste and talent to produce for you. As I stated this album is a big disappointment... well maybe "Tomorrow" will big a better album for Andrea!!!

King Of Pop's sister gets a little too hot
|
Michael's sister Janet Jackson gets a little too hot on ALL FOR YOU,the album. The title track is suitable for young children. WOULD YOU MIND is a sexual moment between two young women. BETTER DAYS sounds like a Carpenters recording because of the background vocals. I bought this album because I like the hit song SOMEONE TO CALL MY LOVER,which contains samples of America's VENTURA HIGHWAY. There's another song containing samples of Carly Simon's YOU'RE SO VAIN. Carly's spoken voice is heard in that song. She says "Janet and me,we have clouds". The title track has a late 70's/early 80's urban sound in it. This album contains quite a few short interludes. This album does contain some profane words. That's why the front cover bears the words "PARENTAL ADVISORY-EXPLICIT CONTENT".

Where are the Mallorys? Reggie Would Sort this Mess Out!
|
I wanted to like this book. I really did. I love J. Lindsey's work. Regencies are my favorite. But...these characters were SO one dimensional. She makes him laugh. That is it. That is her only personality characteristic. He is Scottish & says "blaudy" every other word. That is it for him. The heavy Scottish brogue was a bit wearing. Things were getting so dull I was rooting for Ophelia to win! At least she had some spark to her. The thing that got me is that the characters, though thin, were not true to themselves. They were not the sort of people to have a quick interlude in the carriage. That totally did not make sense or fit in with the characters.

Ahh! this doll is soo cute!
|
This doll brings a smile to my face whenever i look at her. She is just adorable! She has the sweetest little face ive ever seen! She's kinda expensive here ($13.00 in Canada) but way worth the money! I bought the doll in early February and ALWAYS play with her! She teaches girls responsability as well, and how to take care of a baby! These dolls are a bit small, they are not baby dolls, but i absolutly LOVE them!! She has cute little piggie tails that twist out of her head. She has a nice, soft blanket, a bottle and a cute little piggy! When i look at her, a big smile pops onto my face, she is so cute! I'm sure if you buy this for a kid, a girl, they will smile as well! I am 12 and i love the Bratz, and the Bratz Babyz! I can't wait to get the Bratz Babyz:Twiins!

Excellent Product and Delivery Service
|
Very pleased with the product and the delivery was excellent. I sent this to a friend who needed a Shopping cart desperately. She 74 years young and is currently having a problem walking and bending. She described opening the box and thinking she would not be able to put the item together. The shopping cart wheels have to be installed. She said, she read the directions but did not follow them. Was forced to take wheels off and start over again. The directions were clear and following them, made it easy to put the shopping cart together. So if she can do it, so can you. She called me and is very happy with the quality of the shopping cart. She needs it to shop twice month for her pets and her food... So far so good. Will keep you posted.

DON'T BUY THIS SEAT
|
I didn't want to spend over $200 on a car seat so I purchased the Alpha Omega Elite, thinking it would be a good purchase. I couldn't have been more disappointed in a product. On the Alpha Omega Elite, the buckle was so difficult to use and the straps kept getting twisted. In addition, my son's head kept falling forward whenever he was sleeping (in the rear-facing position). This was so frustrating because someone would have to sit in the back seat to hold up his head. After doing more research, I went back to Babies R Us and purchased the Britax Marathon. The buckle is easy to use, the straps don't get tangled, and my son's head rests comfortably on the back of the seat whenever he is napping. Plus, it fits perfectly in my Pontiac Grand Am. I wish I would have purchased the Britax Marathon seat first. It was well worth the extra $100. Don't go cheap when it comes to a car seat. Spend the extra money to get a QUALITY product. You won't be disappointed!

Sorely disappointed, cheap product, don't buy it!
|
Bought it in July right after my son saw the movie. He played with it for a few days and then we packed it up to bring it out at Christmas so he'd enjoy it under the tree and for his birthday. Darn thing wouldn't work at all. It'd been stored carefully in original packaging, with the batteries removed. Hooked it up Christmas Day and...nothing. Got new batteries all around. Still nothing. My son begs me to fix it every time he sees the tree. What an awful experience! No idea what to do now -- return or double down from a retail store vs Amazon since it'll cost me a bunch to return for a partial refund. Oh, and I agree with all the comments about poor workmanship. It isnt the Lionel of old. More money for Brio trains. Don't play the odds, don't buy this product, or at least not on Amazon.

Finally, an educational game that keeps their interest!!!!!!
|
Finding toys for my son that he will still be interested in the next day is like mission impossible. He is 6 years old and loves to be actively engaged in what he's doing. Cars and trucks just lose his interest. Well, I had a friend then tell me about the Leapster. I decided to give it a chance over the Game Boy, and I'm glad I did. He has not set it down since Christmas morning. The graphics on the screen are amazing. He only got 1 game with it, Dora (all the others were sold out), and he loves it. I love the fact that he's having fun and learning at the same time. Every parent should get this system. It is awesome and you won't regret it. If a boy as picky as mine loves it, trust me, your child will too.

Embarrassment
|
Wow. Some of the stories in this book were really bad. The title story by David Baldacci is absolutely awful. I mean, it's John Farris-bad. Terrible pacing, dialogue, characterization, everything. Lawrence Block's story is the worst thing I've ever read by him. Gary Phillips' story is incomprehensible--I still don't know what happened.Is there anything worth reading in this volume? Yes. Brendan DuBois, Tim Green, Colin Harrison, Brad Meltzer, Peter Robinson, and John Westermann all turn in nice efforts.Unfortunately, this book was apparently never copy edited or proof read. I've never seen so many typos in a published book in my life. Embarrassing.

Somebody SHOOT ME!!
|
Oh my God. I was SO dissappointed with this movie.Where do I start.First off, the acting was horrible. The only actor in this movie that was in part 1 was Peter (Jobes little friend). The first movie had a mysterious and low budget feel to it, which I love, and part 2 has a fluffy and hollywood feel to it, which I absolutely loath. Also, The connection between part 1 and part 2 was very weak. What's up with the telephone rings? That was a great idea, why didn't they keep that?!...Trust me, if your thinking about buying this movie, dont!! But if for some reason you do, all the negative reviews here at Amazon will make perfect sense!!! This movie is BAD!!!

This is the first of five books involving the Marchetti family. I have read all five and I must say that this is the best and my personal favorite. Rosie is planning on getting married without her family, but is suprised to see long time family friend Steve show up. Rosie has always loved Steve. She is even more suprised when he tells her that her future groom will not be coming after all. Rosie is crushed. Not because she loved the other man, but because she was pregnant.Steve was sent by the family to make sure that Rosie did not get married to the jerk who would eventually hurt her. Steve was not sent there to marry Rosie himself. He knew that there would be heck to pay, but Steve did not see that he had a choice. He always cared for Rosie. She needs a husband and the baby needs a father.Things really heat up when the family finds out. This is a short, funny, romantic book.

Wow....

I borrowed this book for a report and expected to only use the index and read as little as possible. I couldn't put it down. The pictures on almost every page are relevant and very moving. The maps of Operation Bagration, Operation Blue, and Operation Barbarossa are full color, clear, detailed, and very easy to understand. The full color map of Europe displaying the extent of Hitler's allies, and land is also very informative. I have a limited knowledge of history, but even to me this book does seem a little biased. I would read several other books before making an opinion on mistakes made in this war. For a report, this book is great. It is easy to understand, and the index makes it very easy to find information. If you want an entertaining read, and not just a book to acquire knowledge, this is the book for you. Buy this book, it is worth the money.

Big, Black,& Very Tough
|
I really like mine and would highly recommend it. Many of my buddies had G-Shock watches when I was deployed to Iraq and I decided to get one when I got home. I wanted a watch that could stand up to whatever I put it through. This piece it big, black, heavy, tough, and looks good on my wrist. On top of that, it has atomic accuracy (I don't think this feature works overseas), and is solar powered. The band is metal. The face and back of the watch is also metal. There are a few plastic parts on the case, but you can't tell by looking. It's all black. The light button and ring around the face are shiny compared to the rest of the watch. This is a subtle accent. The watch and band have a slight gloss. I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars because it doesn't have a countdown timer and the alarm needs to be a lot louder.
