Overall unpleasant
|
I was generally pretty happy with the phone. It had it's short comings but it had things I needed like syncing with my Outlook etc. I've had the phone for 8 months now and the issues I've had have outweighed any good. It drops calls. The ear piece speaker is very week and I have to use a headset. Now that I have been using a headset, I can't get the phone out of headset profile mode. That means I have to have a headset with me at all times. I have called support, tried to install the software update but to no avail. I was supposed to be sent a new phone by they are apparently on backorder... very bad sign. I'm trying to Audiovox SMT 5600 Smartphone in hope that it is better. Good luck!!

Great toy for Old and Young alike!
|
I bought this for my 8 yr old son's birthday. He totally flipped out being that he wasn't expecting to get it! He did have a lot of fun with it, that is until the adult men at the party took over the controls!! My best friend's husband bought one to take to work and plays with it daily. This is a pretty durable little helicopter, however, we need to replace the tail prop as it did break off after many crash landings. I didn't think it would have lasted as long as it has before breaking something. However, replacing the props are a quick fix to return to the fun! The top prop (whatever it's called) broke as well, but hubby used some 2 part epoxy glue for hobby airplanes and it worked just fine. It's well worth the money as it forced my son to use patience and learn how to fly it. He really has enjoyed it. Almost as well as the adults.... :)

A Little Confusing But Good
|
I agree with the other reviewers who mention that they didn't know that Hadley was dead. I didn't either. But, as with most things in life, I took it on faith that Harris was speaking the truth even though I couldn't remember some of the details. I'm not super crazy about all of the political implications and the kings and queens, etc. I really don't care about who needs to show deference to whom. Maybe I'm just too American. I get the feeling that Sookie feels the same about the whole thing, so we're on the same page. I do like that Sookie starts to stand on her own in this book. She's trying to make smarter choices. I love Quinn and can't wait to see where that relationship goes. In the end, this is another fun read.

another poor Sony product
|
I bought the N6 in Nov of 2008. They went on a few airplane rides and now they don't work. They didn't reduce the noise level very much. Its white noise that it produces is way too much background noise. It hardly canceled any noise on an airplane. They are still in warranty but get this. Sony said its a 24$ exchange fee. So you pay shipping to get it there. I paid 30$ to buy them . Forget this unit and pay more and get more. Like something that actually WORKS.

Junk, pure and simple(or a shiny paper weight).
|
After reading others' words of praise about this item, I decided this was the gift to give my girlfriend for her birthday. Well, it arrived this afternoon and I simply had to tell everyone TO STAY AWAY FROM THIS THING! It didn't work for even a second after she took it out of the package. Tried using the AC adapter, and the message "disc" popped up on the display. Well, there was a disc in there, my friend. Tried a different disc...same result. Tried using batteries...nothing. The disc never even spun one revolution. Granted, these kinds of things do happen and I understand that. I just wanted to share our experience with this brand with other customers. I'm going to buy her an Aiwa first thing in the morning.

with elegance and grandeur
|
with elegance and grandeur this symphonie is played. I can compare this record to Inbal for Teldec. I prefer that version. It is hard to get as is always the case with works by Inbal. Both conductors stress a different point. For Inbal, elegance and vehemence go together. For Chailly, elegance and softness go together. The Chailly version is slow, but not too slow. Makes things beautiful. This is for me the best symphonie by Bruckner. The song-cycle is good, but too short in order to make any impression. Sound-quality is good. Four stars because of the bargain which shortens the book about this recording.

This piece of junk should come with a free garbage bag!
|
1. Plastic "marbles" are too light. They fly way too high and sometimes off the playing field. They also get stuck inside the hippos at times.2. The hippos frequently get stuck in "locked" position during play rendering them useless. Since they're the key to the game, that's kind of a big deal.3. Sometimes the hippos fall apart while playing. Not really what you want to happen.I loved this game as a child. The current version is worthless. Don't get this unless you love frustration and children crying "it's stuck! it's stuck again!" over and over.

A Teacher's best friend
|
The third edition of Sentence Combining just arrived. I can't wait to get to class Monday to start my students on these exercises! William Strong wrote another book about writing development, Coaching Writing, that I purchased at a writing workshop. The discussion of sentence combining as a development technique excited my teaching, but I don't have time (or energy) to prepare sentences for use with the technique. Sentence Combining fills that slot perfectly. This activity greatly improved my student's ability to revise their writing. They were able to see that revision is a process. For some it was a true "ah ha!" moment! The techique I found in the first section of Coaching Writing is the focus of Sentence Combining A Composing Book. I can't praise these two books enough. Every English teacher at my high school has heard me praise William Strong's work, and several have adopted his strategies. You can't go wrong with this purchase.

Weather forecast-DAMIEN STORM!!
|
Damien Storm is back with part 2 of his amazing horror concept, "Horror on St. Limes Hill." A worthy follow up to his previous masterpiece, "Ghost Town", this album brings the listenner on a horror-filled journey with Johnny, the main character in this concept. The thing about this genious called Damien Storm, is that it is so wrong that it's right. Damien Storm is a one-man Metal orchestra who has the strangest music and image imaginable. Wearing 1920s style horror film masks with extremely large, phallic noses, singing in a high pitched, eerie vocal tone that goes completely out of key on many occasions, as does his guitar solos, Damien Storm is deffinitely an aquired taste. What would possess anyone to look or sound like this? Possibly a true genious? The greatest idea in Metal history? I cannot compare this demon to any other band. It is 100% originality at its best. I hope this review helped. You can visit Damien on the web at [local website]

An Insult to the Nation and Humanity!
|
This looked cheaper than what some 7th graders could have created! Low budget, bad plot, flat jokes, corny acting, and the list goes on. First, the main characters are grunts working at a greasy spoon, then a second later, they are paid cops. Their uniforms look more like janitors' garb. There's a white character who works at a restaurant and has an Apu-like accent for no reason. The props are beyond cheap. This makes "Glitter" look like Oscar material. I really think the sitcom "The Jeffersons" was supposed to be revolutionary in having a cast that is half Black and half white; this film tries to have that same goal. This film is terrible beyond words. It makes no sense why it was made. My eyes, brains, and heart were wounded by this pure garbage. Not even a bored kid could enjoy one second of this. I'm disgusted, just downright disgusted, that any one would have played any role in the production of this work. The art muses must be sobbing right now.

This is a great product
|
I bought this snow thrower after teh snow storm last year. When I had 12 inches last year I had showel, and decided to buy a snow thrower for next snow storm. This one is really a great product. I had about 7-8 inches of dry to medium wet snow. What took me 2 Hrs wit showel, with 2 people showelling, took only 30 mins. My drive way which can accomodate 10 cars, my walk ways, all doen in 30-40 mins, and stark clean. I was so impressed. My neighbor uses a bigger gas snow thower. His drive way still looked white after he finished cleaning. My drive way was so clean. The only problem is if it sucked a nice chunk of wet snow, it clogged the chut. I had to clean it a coupel times. It wasnt very effectibf on frozen ice, whihc was mainly the load pushed by the snow ploughs to my side walk. But other wise, this is great. Its a quiet machine compared to gas onces. I would recomend this anytime.

More Liberal Claptrap
|
No need to comment on the texture of the transfer or the sound; this is just another Hollywood example of getting another dig at President Bush. The script looked like it could have been written by that flunkey of our present President. Damon's acting? Didn't the armed forces learn some martial arts? He looked like a mountain man wrestling with a bear.If the liberals want to make a point, do it without me wasting $4.99. I'm still waiting for Hollywood to make a movie out of that glorious Jimmy Carter rescue or Clinton's attack on a small place to divert attention from his affairs and possible impeachment. So glad I didn't buy this video (btw, the grainy texture was terrible).WMDs? Not finding does mean non-existent. I've never seen a polar bear with my own two eyes, but I'm sure they're there nonetheless. We took out a dictator, and now the people in Iraq have a say over their own lives. Why don't you show that, Hollywood?

YOUTHFUL AND EXUBERANT
|
There are few today who do not know the name Marc Jacobs. His clothing designs have won a loyal following who appreciate his flair and awareness of what becomes women. His designs are understated yet elegant, classic yet innovative.He reflects the same qualities in his fragrances. Of his latest, Blush, Mr. Jacobs said, "My garden in Paris is permeated with the delicate scent of Jasmine. For me, it is a smell of simple and intense glory - nature in grand performance. I feel a connection exists between this rich flower and the innate power of femininity."What words could better describe this fragrance? Star Jasmine, which is grown in China and is the richest form of Jasmine, highlights the scent augmented by Japanese Honeysuckle, soft musks and wood notes. It's dreamy, almost tender. Ultra feminine.The bottle is sleek, curved, a blush glass tone topped by a silver cap. Also included in the collection is Body Cream, Body Lotion, and Shower Gel.

Sakura has her own movie! Great. I knew she could do it. The movie itself is great. Action, drama, mystery, it has it all. A must see. I feel sorry for those who did not like this movie and I hope that they change their minds. Though not as action-packed as other animation movies this one is still great. I am a bigfan of japanese animation and CardCaptors is one of my favorites. A new japanese cartoon called Hamtaro is good so you better see that one. ... It will be great I promise.

What a combination!
|
I was a Nelson Riddle fan before Linda Ronstadt. I had no idea what a beautiful voice she had. I bought the first 2 LPs they did together. When the digital age came, I lost track of those LPs. I only recently found this MP3 collection of their 3 LPs at Amazon. It is wonderful. One of the things that I like is that they do the few lines of introduction that used to be a part of song writing. A good example is What'll I Do. Notice that the song starts out with "Gone Is the Romance . . ." Most renditions of the song skip this, which is real shame. This rendition is clearly the best ever done of a great song. The combination of Nelson and Linda is made in heaven in my opinion.By the way, I highly recommend putting your MP3s onto the Amazon Cloud Player. I have worried for years that I would lose a hard drive and all my music with it. That worry is gone now and I can access my music on any device that can connect to the Internet. Whew!

Other than some dumb twists, it's not that bad at all!
|
I finished this book in 2 hours. I just couldn't stop reading! It is a real nail-bitter! The books describes a young girl's abduction during an hectic election in the U.S.A. The grandfather of the girl is one of the candidates, Afro-american Lincoln Howe and his opponent is the female attorny general, Allison Leahy, who was a victin of a child abduction herself 8 years prior to the event. I can't say the book is perfect. Some of the charcters are great: Tanya Howe (Lincoln's daghter), Kristen Howe (the abducted girl) and the kidnapper who tries to help her, Allison Leahy and Howe himself. I did disapprove of some of the twists which I thought were tasteless and useless, and the ending was pretty quick and left some loose knots. it seems like the author lasted for 2/3 of the book, and than gave in to the temptation of a Holliwood-stile ending. But other than that, I reccomand this book. It's very enjoyable and keeps you alert.

lousy!

Afer reading many reviews about how wonderful the roadMate 700 was, I couldn't wait to obtain one. A great big mistake. Apprently it is defective. I can't place an address or location anywhere near my state, much less any other local location. As for help--NONE, not from the company or from Amazon. Look out for Amazon. They actually advertise that returning an item is easy. That is far from the truth. You can't get a rational reply from them on what to do with this defective item. Also if you start corresponding with them about trying to return someting, be prepared to spend about two days on your computer trying to explain anything to them. Easy to return indeed!

Quit complaining, this things awesome
|
Too much complaining, everybody is negative. We even have a guy who doesn't own one giving it one star. Must have a lot of free time. The bottom line is Amazon is doing for books what the ipod did for music. They created a great little device that is as easy as it gets. No computers, no Wifi, no delays. You can browse for a book and start reading it in a minute. Doesn't get any easier. I've owned the Sony one and it's OK, but found it frustrating always having to connect the device to a Windows only web site. The Kindle is easier and I like the screen and navigation better. Also, don't lose sight of the fact that the books are much cheaper than their paper counterparts. Double Cross by James Patterson is on sale at Target for $19 bucks. I got it for $10 on the Kindle. Buy enough books and the $400 price will seem like a steal.

The only movie I have almost walked out on. And I paid to see Wild Orchid II. What stopped me? Well a guy getting filleted in half with a laser rope. What made me realize that even THAT shouldn't have kept me in the theatre? Mankind's savior is not Ted Theodore Logan, esq. Nope. It is a dolphin. A rubber dolphin. In a fish tank. With a hat on. I wish I could have vomited on command! C'mon people!

Kidjo Magic
|
This is a great recording. It is fresh, fun and full of energy. Ms. Kidjo floats effortlessly over rich rhythms that cross the boundries of Africa and Brazil with a touch of Jazz, Salsa and Funk. This music takes me back to the 70's and a group called Osibisa. They were one of the first pioneers of this cross-cultural sound. I love the vibe that Kidjo creates on "Black Ivory Soul." She has a great talent for blending different styles to create textures and melodies that are very distinct and colorful. There isn't a weak cut on this disc. Thanks also for including the english translations of each song. Keep up the good work, Angelique. Peace!

Nick Nack price guide for parlor collectors.
|
The book looks very promising at first glance. You get a 4 page history (nothing here). Chapter two is 50 pages of oil cans , moth spray and home drip oil cans dated through 1989. Mainly 20/30 buck stuff.(moth balls and parrifin,WOW).After pages of Maps, credit cards,calenders,salt & pepper shakers and ice scrapers, now the meat.Pumps and globes.I was ready.18 common globes pictured, I can accept that.Two whole gas pumps pictured.(50's Tokheim,wow).A small globe list.1/3 page(no pics).Then 70 pages of signs, patches, uniforms,toys. No mention of years of pumps built specifically for Sohio,the hundreds of offshute globes used. Islander lights,air machines, the stuff you drove up to are not to be found here. All the unique to Sohio station things in the 30's,40's,50's. Not pictured here.If your looking for that memory of pulling into an old "modern" Sohio,this book is a blackhole. Great icing, NO CAKE!

This book is anything but step by step painting..
|
I've been trying to find a book to learn how to paint digitally for a while now. I was hoping this could of been it according to the title. Since I'm a beginner with no real photoshop experience I need a simplistic step by step guide. I'm sure some of you have found it's really hard to find a book for us noobs. This book is not it. It contains many overviews into different artists thinking process. Most of them use multiple art/cad packages in this book. For example, one artist may use maya, 3d studia max and then photoshop. Who really has all those tools? There are only a few that cover photoshop alone and other than a glance into the thought process of a true professional you won't learn anything from this book. Seriously most of the step by step guides are one or two pages for something that may have taken the artist 24 hours to complete. Unfortunately this book was not for me.

Nice quality and exaclty what I was looking for
|
These were exactly what I was looking for. They match my bedding and headboard like I wanted. I have washed them a couple times and they have not faded. I only have 2 complaints, the first is that when I put the euro pillow inside that it gapes open in the back. I have it pinned shut right now, but I will be putting some velcro to keep them shut and to make it easy to get the pillows out when needed. My second complaint would be that the fringe around kind of flops down when they are propped up. I wish they were more stiff so that it would look more clean. I have huge pillows in them so it's not a problem of them being under stuffed. Otherwise I love the look and feel of them. The price was great too. They are a nice deep brown also.

He uses that money to feed and clean Smokey. But when they are on the way home from getting Smokey, (Queenie's riding) they get attacked by a big dog, which spooks Smokey and Queenie falls off and breaks her collarbone. They were all scared. But they make it through it, all the fighting and tears and form a special bond. -Smokey. Well one day the barn Smokey stays at, catches fire.

Almost unreadable - was it ever reviewed before published?
|
I like Mr Iron's books. His "May it Please the Court" was outstanding and sparked my interest in the SCOTUS. This book is no different. An outstanding subject, it is a well conceived history book with a good message. I wish I could have given it a good review.HOWEVER, my kindle version had so many misspellings as to be unreadable in many places. On almost every page (sometimes every paragraph) there were spelling and/or punctuation errors. This became so irritating I almost gave up trying to read the book. Either someone published a first draft of Mr. Iron's book without proof reading it, or my kindle version just stinks!! If it is a kindle problem, the book needs to be re-published for kindle. Unless I am the only one who downloaded a bad version of the book, Amazon needs to refund our money on this one!!

????????

i liken this book to fitzgerald's "tender is the night." and that is not a good thing. people of no substance plod through hundreds of dull dull pages. are people really this shallow? this empty? probably. but, my god, do i have to read about them? no. i do not. i simply could not finish this book (and that is rare). i wasted valuble reading time for about 300 pages, then had to admit it just wasn't working. because of all the critical acclaim this book recieved, i was very much looking forward to reading it. what a major disappointment! i am truly puzzled by the positive response this thing gets from so many people. great writing? really? i just did not see much of that here. shouldn't a book have at least one interesting character in it? it seems that dullness is making a comback in critical circles these days. too bad.

Otherwise Known As Sheila the Great

Judy Blume. I remember that book when I was in about, fourth grade. This book is a bit more sophisticated than that, but not much. If you haven't read that one, how about, "Are you there God, it's me, Margaret". Same kind of feel. I'm not saying this book didn't get my attention. It's easy, a page turner, and could be entertaining for some. If you were ever in a sorority, you might get a few laughs. I don't recommend this book to anyone that is a male out there. I don't want to sound too harsh, but if you've ever read a book, and feel really good that you've finished it and can't wait to start another- this book makes you want to start another. However, I don't feel too good about having read it. Maybe it's for a college age person (or younger), but I wouldn't recommend it to a friend because I'd be embarassed that I just read a book like this. It's Days of our Lives meets 90210 in the South. How's that?

DO NOT BUY! RIP OFF PRICE!
|
Please do not buy from this seller. Even though I have not bought anything from them, the price they have put up for this One600 Ultra Instant Camera is shocking! I do own this camera, but I got it brand new at Target for around $40. Here they are asking for $128.09?!?! That's clearly insane. Why pay for that much when it's available for so much cheaper. This seller is clearly greedy and hoping to benefit from an unsuspecting soul by bleeding them dry! DO NOT BE FOOL AND DO NOT BUY THIS CAMERA FOR ANYTHING MORE THAN $40. And that goes for all the greedy sellers over at Ebay selling this same camera for crazy amounts! Purchase wisely and shop around for the best price before you commit to buying anything! I'm rating this solely on the seller's price and not on the product itself.

Rock solid performer

Be careful when buying this type of battery. I use these batteries on a Sony Z5U and MCX2000. At first, I bought clones and knock offs. Big mistake. A total waste of money. Then, I bought what I thought were OEM batteries at terrific prices. Each of those turned out to be counterfeits. Finally, I bit the bullet and only buy from Amazon itself or well known, long established, photo supply houses. It would have been much cheaper and much less frustrating to have paid the extra money in the first place. Learn from my errors. Stick with OEM.

Franni Franken is a big fat idiot and a nutcase
|
Repulsive isn't it? Doesn't feel so good, does it Al Franken? But congratulations on your small-minded foray into the world of personal destruction. This is what Al Franken does. He talks about people and calls them names. Ann Coulter is a "nutcase". Bill O'Reilly is "splotchy". Yes, this liberal hero makes his living attacking people.Judging by many of the reviews here, it's absolutely incredible that people would regard him as some kind of liberal hero. I can't imagine anyone wanting to be associated with this loser who coats himself in slime. Ask yourself what kind of idiot would risk dragging his family into this arena of mudslinging and ad hominem attacks?Al Franken sold his soul. What goes around comes around.

This book is just bizarre
|
This book is organized in a very odd fashion. It's like a long, long, 237-page list of bullet points. It's divided into chapters, but while Barash is good at setting up lots of horrendous possible situations, she never provides suggestions, advice or solutions. That is, there are suggestions, but they're just one-liners that don't really make sense.In addition, there's a completely weird paragraph at the beginning of Chapter 3 that just turned me off to the whole book. I won't type out the whole thing, I'll just paraphrase: A woman is jealous of her husband's ex-wife. She starts following him around, and sure enough, he's meeting her at a hotel. Then she said "My uncertainty was the demise of our marriage." Whuh? Nooo. She caught her husband cheating, and HER UNCERTAINTY was the problem? This author must listen to a lot of Dr. Laura if that's how she thinks it works!I wish I could return this book. I hate it.

Nice at first but rusts away very easy
|
Bought this knife set 3 months ago. It was beautiful with unique patterns on the blade and very sharp. But within few days we noticed it rusts very quickly. We left a knife in the sink in the morning after breakfast, by the time we came home for dinner the knife had several rust spots. We had to use Barkeeper's friend to clean all the rust out. We've tried to clean and dry the knives immediatly after every use - real pain in the #*@ - but once in a while one will be forgotten for couple hours and then rust immediatly forms. Once, when someone else was helping clean up, one went into the dishwasher. It didn't only have rust all over but the blade edge rusted away! Now the knife has jagged edge!!! I guess if I grind down the knife about 1mm I'll have a full edge again but I didn't expect this from top-of-the-line knives. Will not buy this brand of knives anymore.

For the price, it is well worth it

I am really enjoying my Samsung DVD VCR combo. It has relieved me of the clutter of having separate players. The picture quality for both the DVD and VCR is good, but I would say you HAVE to read and use the manual! Do not just try to figure it out on your own, the manual is easy to use. For example you have to be aware of which player you are using... I clicked "play" and meant to play the VCR but the machine was set on DVD and I could not figure out why the VCR was not playing, till I realized the setting was on DVD. (I am also using the DVD as a CD player and it is adequate, though not great. I am definately going to buy a CD player!)But for the purpose of basically being able to play DVDs and VCR tapes, and for taping on a VCR this is a very cute and worthwhile investment. I am very very happy with it! And now the price is even lower, so I would most definately recommend it.UPDATE: 6/9/2007- Still using and enjoying this machine!

The Canon BJC-2000 Bubble Jet Printer Is Bad
|
If you are thinking about getting this printer, do not buy it. I recommend you buy the Hewlett-Packard DeskJet 970Cse inkjet printer. It works very smoothly and works very fast. It can print 12 pages per minute in black, 8 pages in color. But with text, it runs very fast. Go ahead and go to that page. Also, the Canon ink cartridges are very expensive.If you already own this printer, I would recommend you buy a new one and sell your Canon BJC-2000 Bubble Jet printer. Because of "Bubble Jet" technology, words cannot print out in exactly black. Pictures are printed translucently. I would recommend you buy an Hewlett-Packard DeskJet 970Cse inkjet printer or a Hewlett-Packard DeskJet 722C inkjet printer. They are both very good at printing text and pictures.

Disapointing

I can't believe I waited 10 years for this crap. T. Harris should have is liver eaten with some fava beans and a bottle of warm genaric beer. A waste of time. Reread Silence or Red Dragon, both much, much better. Supposedly T. Harris got 9 million for the film rights. He is stealing money. If a movie is made that sticks to the storyline of this book, it will not make a dime. I would much rather see The Red Dragon remade into a movie that is faithful to the book. Too bad J. Demme did not do this one too. Micheal Mann's Manhunter(Red Dragon) was just an OK cop movie. I am not surprised that J. Demme dropped out directing the Silence sequel. A long wait for almost nothing!!!

Look Closer
|
I picked up this book because of my profound love of The Invisible Circus. I was not disappointed. Egan writes the most divinely emotionally unstable characters. They're pristine and still exteriors hold damaged interiors that seem to splinter behind their eyes. The young Charlotte in the book craved understanding. She wanted the wind knocked out of her til she gasped. She wanted to be left trembling, not by love but by touch. Love was irrelevant. The other characters were incidentally. Older Charlotte had her moments, and even Wolfe has a few but the hero is young Charlotte. I would love a follow up book for her, older and wiser.

What Happened to Hallam?
|
Not sure why the title was changed. Hallam is the name of the main character. Mister Foe doesn't make the title any more clear or, for that matter, any more interesting for the unknowing to want to view. The film is, however, very engaging and quirky. Jamie Bell is an under rated and remarkable talent in film today. He can always be trusted to give an unusual and startling performance. This is certainly no exception. It is not a great film but entertaining with quite a few bright moments. Claire Forlani is lovely to hate and Sophia Myles is very charming to watch. It is all about Bell though. He is destined for great things. From Billy Elliot to now his character choices and studies have been remarkable and he is to be applauded for not becoming "mainstream" in his thinking. Continue to expect greatness from him.

Channel Material
|
I've read most of Jane Roberts Seth Material books. In my opinion Seth Is telling it like it is. More and more now a days the cutting edge theoretical physicists are agreeing that reality is very similar to what Seth has been describing since the "seventies". This puts a Quantum Physics spin on the reality that Seth has been telling us about for decades. If you're interested in knowing what reality is really like, the Seth Books can enlighten you. I've enjoyed all the ones I've read. This one, The Individual and the Nature of Mass Events, included. However. if you want to know my favorite of all, it would have to be The Nature Of Personal Reality, written in '74. Followed closely by Seth Speaks. Written in '72. If you find you have an interest in this type of material, any of the Seth books will be well worth your time.

George Foreman Fusion Grill GR70WHT
|
I recommend this to anyone! It's affordable, easy to clean, and great for locations where an actual fire is not practical or allowed! We just started using ours, and everything we have done comes out perfectly. Steaks are tender, chicken is moist, and burgers are juicy. The is no open flame, so there are no flare-ups or burnt foods, even if you are using a sauce or marinade. Great for veggies and fish,too. There are no spaces to lose the food through. Clean up is quick and easy, you need only hot water, a sponge, and a little soap! The size is great, too. It's large enough to do a family size meal with out having to cook everything one at a time. Definitely a must have for anyone! Great for apartments and RV's. We love it!

Got me writing again
|
This is the book that got me writing again. I wrote a book, had an agent and editor interested, got rejected, and gave up. Obviously, I wasn't meant to be a writer. Industry professionals weren't impressed enough to buy. I was almost good enough, but not quite.What hooey. Several years later, feeling the bug bite again, I read this book. And realized I wasn't done, I wasn't a failure, and there was no RIGHT way to write a novel.Four years since I picked it up, and I have written 3 books, won a major contest, and know the only thing that can stop me is ME. No, this isn't a craft book. Yes, it's a book meant to guide and inspire. For me, it was the ticket back on the train. Thanks, Mr. Koch.

My first

I know plenty of people have played nba street. You thought it couldn't get any better huh? Well thats what you get for thinkin'. I didn't want to buy this game at first based on the sreenshots I saw. But, after I saw a few movies and noticed the way the game moved so smoothly, its a must have. If you loved Street you're going to wannna marry this one. The last time I seen moves like this I was playing ball myself. the game has some sick moves, ill crossover, wicked passes, and hard fouls. So if you can't take it don't buy it. Its just too real. If you don't play streetball for real you my not understand how serious it really is, to have a game that you can play when you can't get to the park and cross some young dude over for tryin' to shine on ya. ...

Felt Like A Rip Off
|
I first saw this book at a friend's house. I picked it up and read the first story, "forgotten blessings". After reading it, I became eager to get a copy of this book so I can read the rest of the stories. When I purchased this book, I waited for night to come so I can snuggle up in my cozy bed and read some inspiring stories that will help me increase my faith. The second story was disappointing. I thought "hey that's okay... just one bad story... I'll give the next one a chance." Story after story, I became more disappointed yet still giving this book a chance. After reading the whole book, I came to the final conclusion that the book was a waste and displeasing. Of course they would put the best story in the beginning! Because the rest of the book is pointless.

Absolutely amazing album...must buy!
|
I know it's pretty cheezy to give your favorite albums 5 out of 5 stars...but I honestly can't avoid it. After nailing the arena rock, hard rock, and acoustic rock genres, Guardian redefines themselves with this dark, moody, alternative-esque album. Don't let "alternative" scare you. There is more here than just power chords. Tony Palacios' guitar work is nothing short of amazing. The guy can SHRED! The entire band is outstanding on this disc, and I urge any fan of Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, or even OLD Guardian to give it a chance. Steve Taylor's production is top notch, and his contribution in the lyrical department is a breath of fresh air in a world full of lyrical cliques.Yes, it's a Christian album...but it's an honest album. The life of a Christian isn't all roses as made very clear by songs like "State of Mine", "Hand of the Father", and "Psychadelic Runaway". I can't say enough about this album. ...

Who is the real author?
|
Is the real author Peter Dimock or Fawn Brodie? I find the bait-and-switch on authorship somewhat disingenuous to start with. Of course it's Fawn Brodie. No, I didn't buy the book. Neither do I intend to. I've read enought to know that it isn't worth the paper it's printed on."No Ma'm, That's Not History," by Hugh Nibley, came out shortly after Ms. Brodie published her book originally. Previous reviewers have listed other debunking sources. I used to lump anti-Mormon literature into three categories: outright lies, half-truths and truths made to look foolish. Ms. Brodie's skillful blend of all three have caused me to wonder if I should maybe establish a fourth category. But a name for it escapes me at the moment.

This film is horrible. I am in awe that anyone would hype this movie at all. I cannot believe I actually saw it on the rack at a major chain video store. I have flushed better movies. It's hard to know where to begin panning this turd. It isn' teven funny/bad and I was stoned. Honestly. This Dante guy seriously needs to stop attempting to make films. There isn't enough room for crap like this while Romero is still struggling to get good films made. The people that gave this film a good review are friends of Dante's. They must be. Skip this one and watch ANYTHING else

A TOUCHING TRIBUTE TO HIS FATHER
|
I've only listened to this recording twice so far. I like it a lot, but I don't think two listenings gives me the right to make stone-etched pronouncements. Go to the NPR website and listen to the 9/17/05 interview with Neil Young and you'll get an idea what this recording is about. His father had a terminal disease; Neil had planned to take his dad on a trip back to their family homestead in Manitoba before he passed. These songs were written with those thoughts and plans in mind. The album was recorded before they were to leave. Sadly, Neil's dad died before they could do the trip. The album is dedicated "For Daddy". It's just a peaceful, easy-going, tribute. Neil also had some serious health issues while recording. But what a way to be remembered by one's son. A Golden. Glorious. Memorial.

A BIG PIECE OF FILTH
|
This has to be one of the worst adaptation of a book. The acting was good, that's the only good thing. Other than references to names, nothing else resemble the book. If a person never read the book, I don't see how anyone understand the plot. The book was complex and exciting. The movie is simple and explains nothing. Lestat is a vampire. He joins a band and market himself as a real vampire. Some girl from a British institute studies vampires. This girl read a book diary of Lestat was made. Akasha, the queen, wakes up. She kills other vampires and falls in love with Lestat. A bunch of other ancient vampires (very interesting and important to the plot in th book, but never named or explained in the movie) battles with her in the end for their survival. They won. Lestat makes the girl and vampire and everyone lives for a few more centuries. Watch it, if you have to, but don't buy it. It sucks and very disappointing.

Let Us Shed A Tear For The Fat Guy With The Beer
|
Hoo boy, talk about your trip into the world of an unexamined life. While the rest of the planet gets up every morning and goes to work, here's a guy with more time on his hands than Charles Manson. And what's even worse, he thinks his slacker ass has somehow done something others might actually find interesting.So let's see, daddy was rich, divorced mommy, took the kids and moved off to the land of the cruel and unusual. Young lad pined for absent mommy, had to deal with cruel bullies, was terribly misunderstood, and nobody liked him. And this is different from every other brat from a dysfunctional home how? Oh, that's right. His daddy had money. Enough to buy him the 20 or so years of leisure it took to write this tree killer.So how does that Austin Powers tune go?"Daddy wasn't thereto change my underwear."Quit whining. Get a job.

A Soulless Disappointment
|
I bought the DVD sight unseen for a friend adding a copy for myself. It was good seeing the Everly Brothers performing together again. They brought their tuxes. They brought their Guitars. They forgot to bring their souls. Don and Phil Everly clunked their way mechanically through all their great hits. The performance was better than simply mediocre. But the SOUL, that thing that animates a performance and brings life to it and makes it true art, was missing. I am old enough to have seen the Everly Brothers perform live and on television giving far more animated and engaged performances than their "Reunion Concert" in Royal Albert Hall. The magic is gone; probably forever. It is a tragic loss to music, to the Everly Brothers fans and to those of us who came up during this exciting period of musical change.Thank you!

Adventures In Prydain
|
The adventures are wonderful, and meant to be read over and over again. To take you to a place far away from all your worries. The Book of Three is about a boy who is an assistant pig keeper and one day his pig runs away and when he sets out looking for her, he finds adventure instead. The Black Cauldron shares the adventure of Taran and his companions, as they travel to distroy the evil Black Cauldron. The Castle of Llyr tells the readers about Eilonwy Achren, and new characters as well. Taran Wanderer supplies us with the need to know who Taran really is and why he feels he needs parantage so much. The High King's story tells of Taran, and his companions, and what at last makes Annuvain fall. Also what becomes of everybody afterward. But, most of all the stories of Prydain are full of adventure, secrets, and magic. They are magnificent! And for those readers who are familiar with Prydain, the adventures may never end!

CW McCall is a rare treasure
|
I have been looking for this for years. Thank goodness for amazon.com. I have this album but my record player went out several years ago. This "album" has always been one of my favorites. CW McCall lives in Ouray Colorado. He used to do slide shows that correlated to music he had written in downtown Ouray. That was twenty years ago. I'm sure he is still there. Ouray is beautiful. My favorite song is Silverton Train & Wolf Creek Pass. The picture on the front of the "album" was taken in that area. (Ouray)

Lid was stuck, funnel is extremely hard to place and remove.
|
On arrival, I could not get the lid to open. It took about 15 minutes to get it unstuck. It was almost as if it was glued down. This has to be the worst design for a gas can I've ever seen. It is very difficult to get the lid open wide enough where a gas nozzle would fit. You almost need two hands to hold it open that far. I'm not looking forward to trying to fill the thing. The same problem makes it extremely difficult to place or remove the funnel. When the funnel is on, there is not enough clearance to fill the can. I think it would be dangerous to put the funnel in place when the can is full of gas since you would be likely to spill gas all over yourself. To top it all off, Amazon won't allow the return since it could potentially have had gas in it, even though I haven't put any in the can, and will probably throw it out. What a rip off.

Couldn't wait to approach the last page...

Definitely not on my list of top Shakespeare plays. So many people LOVED this play and even deemed it as their favorite. Uh... uh... I don't get it? It contained no real substance. I found my attention drifting far away from the text during the 15 minutes I devoted myself to it each day (I couldn't take any more than 15 minutes! I just couldn't!). However, there were some good elements in it. I can't really think of any off-hand, but... yeah, I'm sure there were. Hehe. Just kidding. I liked how all of the lovers finally got everything straightened out. Especially Titania. I about peed down my leg when I found that she was in love with a donkey. Read it, you might like it. But then, you might not. :P

Easily the worst baseball game I've played
|
My first indication that this wasn't going to be a great game was the lack of any kind of season mode/trading/etc. I grudgingly accepted that, due to the limitations of a portable cartridge-based game. Maybe it would be a fun pick-up-and-play game. Nope.The pitcher and batter both move like they're in slow motion. There are maybe 8-10 passed balls/wild pitches per game. Half the time, the AI fielders wait until a ball hits the ground before they start to chase it. The AI runners almost always wait for a ball to hit the ground before they start to run (and the baserunning in general is pretty moronic). Half of the opposing team's outs are ground balls to the pitcher. Fielding is disorienting, and there are no dives/leaps/etc. Curve balls break like 10 feet.The only positive thing I can say is that the graphics are decent for a handheld. This game isn't really worth purchasing at any price.

5 Stars for the product, 1 star for Philips!
|
I was very lucky to get this handy product as a gift. Nino is very impressive. First, no setup is necessary, just take it out from the box and it is ready to be used. I also used the handy Nino-to-PC cable to connect it to my PC. Unlike many other products which require USB, Nino can be connected via regular RS serial port, which is a standard on any system.Personally, I didn't face problems connecting the port. But some might since serial ports have their own stuff. For example, they must not share the same IRQ. Now the customer service at philips are not smart enough to tell you that. So I guess you should go over your Windows manual and philips manual for troubleshooting.Nino is very portable, and except the fact that it is thick not to fit in my pocket, I think it is great. I anyway am a college student and carry my bag almost anywhere I would carry my nino. In this case, Nino fits nicely in my bag.

These used to be good but now they're junk
|
I've ordered many of these over the past few years and quality control is gone way down hill. They basically arrive disassembled with either missing hardware or broken bones. The spines are all twisted like it should be called bucky the cripple skeleton. You have to take the entire skeleton apart just to correct the warping. The screw on the top can barely stay on and will collapse thanks to the excessively warped spine. All the screws along the spine are loose, floating around in the box or lost in transit. You can't find screws like this in the home improvement centers. Last one I got his arms were on backwards! The one before that had a bad drilling where the leg connects and too short a screw to attach the thumb screw. It's no good his leg wont stay on. Next time I think I'll order a Mr. Skeleton and see if they're any better.

Move over critters

This movie made back in the 80s was a smash hit. Directed by legendary film director Steven Spielberg. This is one of the best movies ever made. This dvd contains ten mintutes of footage that was cut from the final version of the movie. This was a great movie but was a real hasle to shoot. An two commentaries about the film. For thoose of you that liked that sequel thank the writters for rewritting the script. If they had stuck to the original script the movie would have been more graphic and the sequel would not have been made. This movie is about a furry creature called a Mogwi. That is senstive to sunlight and multiples with water. It lead to the creation of the pg13 rating. This movie has a lot of violence and gory in it. I do not recommend it to any one under 13 unlessed surpervised. Can you young billy peletzer stop the Gremlins rampage or will Kingston Falls be utterlty destroyed. Find out in the heart renching finale.

Great album, she's back!!
|
First off, Mariah and Madonna do two different types of music. It is stupid to compare them. Why can't we buy both cd's? They are both great in their own particular genre. My favorite song it probably Isaac. Everyone else thought it was weird, but it gets stuck in your head. This album is much better than American Life. I think the album flows well together. I can see all these songs being played in the club if not for the beats alone. I'm a member of Team L.A.M.B. but I can support other artist as well. When you back yourself into a corner, your mind will never expand.

Doesn't work on Xbox games or in a laptop or with some data
|
I bought these in hope that they would be the great thing that they are advertised to be. They weren't! First of all, when using them on an Xbox game, it GREATLY slows down the game, to the point that it is unplayable. When I tried to use these in my laptop, they were a no go! It wouldn't even read the disk and it sounded like my laptop was an airplane taking off due to my cd drive frantically trying to read the disk to no avail. On a desktop computer, it will read some data disks with the d-skin on it, but it's slow. You won't be watching an mpg or vcd movie with the d-skin on for instance. I don't know how well they work on a cd player with musical cd's, but anything else is definately out. Since I am an mp3 man, I have no need to play music cd's, so I haven't tried them. I wish these worked as promised, I REALLY do, it would be a dream. Perhaps someday this idea will be perfected and then I can give FIVE stars instead of ONE!

Don't waste your money
|
I feel the need to protect other black metal fans from an impulse buy here.Usually I love anything with a Viking. And I was also easily lured by the fact that this movie contained the music of Dimmu Borgir and Burzum. "Great!" I thought, "a Pathfinder knockoff with a Black Metal soundtrack". Not even on its best day. Two goons wandering though the woods, spitting crappy dialog and butting heads with like 5 other characters was what I got. DOn't forget the Chapter titles that pop up, on one occasion to one of the viking banging his head while the words are on screen. Thanks for the suspension of disbelief fellas! WHat this movie is is the "Legend of Boggy Creek" of the Viking genre. Don't waste a dime and only watch it for free if you really have nothing else to do. And I mean nothing.

Reiki for Everyone
|
I am working on my master's in mental health counseling. I will be using methods like meditation and Reiki in my practice. In the past people marketed Transcendental Meditation (TM) to make large sums of money. The concept of meditation was good but using it to bilk large sums of money from others was just wrong. Reiki is at a crossroads. People must decide if it is to be used just as a money making scheme or for the betterment of mankind. The concept of Reiki works. It has helped many people. But like TM some see Reiki as a way to make large sums of money off others. Steve Murray has taken Reiki and made it available to everyone at a fair price. His books and tapes work. Bravo Steve!

This Sibelius is the best
|
Just on the Sibelius Violin Concerto with Christian Ferras. Astonishingly underrated. I was quite overwhelmed by it. (Only David Oistrakh is any thing like as good.) None of the showy scraping `gypsy' violin style, just nobility, power, strength and seriousness, which is just what Sibelius is said to have wanted. Apparently, Sibelius marked a slower tempo in the first movement than he might have done just to deter violinists from using it for virtuoso display. Ferras plays this piece as if it were a symphony: passionate with a superb full tone and magnificent intonation. Very good recording quality too. Karajan gives him just the right support: dark, powerful, purposive. Ferras isn't quite as well known these days as some other violinists - this may be partly owning to the fact that he died comparatively young, aged only 49 in 1982. I can't recommend it too highly.

A TRUE LOSS OF FAITH.
|
Faith Hathaway had just graduated High School and was one week away from going into the army. She was full of hope and life. Robert Willie( the man this movie was based on), along with his accomplice raped and murdered her. She was raped, stabbed 17 times, and raped after she died. The director of this movie denied requests made by Faith's mother, and gave all the attention to the only person who deserved to die. Where was the mercy for Faith? Where was the compassion for Faith? Where were the people protesting for Faith's life? Finally where was the story about the mercy which was denied to Faith? What about her suffering and that of her family? Barely a foot note in this movie. Ohh and Sister Prejean has been discovered to lie when it suits her case.

Very Disappointing
|
The type in this book is just too small to read. It's also sans-serif and very light. Even with a magnifying glass, 5 pt. type is just too small to be read easily. The design is scattered and distracting. Differences in leading for no apparent reason. Too hard to read. Is the information good? Probably, but it is made inaccessible by the size and lightness of the type. A waste of money. Also discovered that it covers CS2, and I have had CS3 for quite a while now. Update and Redesign with a readable font, please!

Not One of My Favorite Things
|
Placido Domingo and Charlotte Church must have been singing for charity to share the stage with Tony Bennett and Vanessa Williams. Tony and Vanessa are out of their league. At least Tony used to have a voice, of course, that was forty years ago. Please don't misunderstand, I love Tony Bennett, the classic Tony Bennett of his prime. I'd probably go see Tony today as a solo act for the pure nostalgia, but he has no business standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Placido Domingo.But the real mystery is, "Why Vanessa Williams?" She's not even a has been. She's a never was, never will be. Her lack of talent is painfully displayed by contrast to the enchanting voice of Charlotte Church.If they were to make one, I'd recommend a duet album of Placido and Charlotte. But, until then, buy their solo efforts. If it's Tony you're after, go buy something from the early 60's or one of his greatest hits albums. As for this album, it's not one of my favorite things.

A must-see for anyone who will someday die
|
Intense yet witty. Converted from the stage production by HBO. Don't expect action but be prepared to think and feel. Everyone can use a little introspection on occasion.May be uncomfortable for some to view, but that should not deter everyone from making the effort. We're all going to die. Often, it's not pretty. Cancer is a cruel disease. We can learn from death as well as life, however.Would be a great movie to watch as a family or with a discussion group. Lots of food for thought and discussion. It moved me to both tears and laughter. The humor will be especially appreciated by those who love words.

Horrible
|
I can appreciate Slipknot for being very good at what they do, but I do not listen to them. I thought Stone Sour would be more my style. The more melodic heavy sound is what I prefer. However, Stone Sour is horrible at it. Breaking Benjamin is 1000 times better than this rehashed junk. There is no real feel for being genuine or poignant. Nothing that Stone Sour has created makes me feel connected to their music. I have listened to both Stone Sour and Come What(ever) May. Both albums were the same for me. I feel the same disconnection when I listen to Godsmack. The lyrics are so generic. The vocals and the music do not enhance each other, they just blend together in a noisy bland way. There is no distinct character to the lyrics, vocals or the music.

Warning regarding over dose of flax seed
|
I was very enthusiastic regarding this book. The recipes were very well done and I did find great relief from menopausal symptoms. However, while traveling I relied on several "portable" flax seed foods for my daily "portions" for estrogen. Shortly thereafter, I was found to have a very irregular heart beat. I have no history of heart problems and, in fact, am an athlete. Research into flax seed showed that more than 2 ounces or 60 grams a day should not be taken internally. It can cause increased respitory rate, gasping, staggering, or convulsions. In early history, it was used as a heart medication - indicating a heart link. There is no warning in the book and in fact, the book encourages higher doses. Please use extreme caution in using these flax seed foods. Use only small amounts per day. There are beneficial amounts (very low doses), but it is toxic in small amounts as well if consumed regularly. There are no warnings on the flax seed bags in stores.

Misrepresented, but corrected
|
This video, a standard for Freshman World History at "my" high school, was listed as having closed captioning (CC). I have a hearing impaired student, and all of the videos MUST have CC. Our DVD did not. I was thrilled to find out that Amazon had it with CC! However, when it arrived, it did NOT. A phone call (yes, you CAN actually phone them) got a refund for my costs, including expedited delivery. They also removed the CC notation on the web site. Therefore I HATE the DVD for NOT coming in CC form (ALL media should be accessable to ALL students), but LOVE Amazon for making good. My library ended up having to pay around $250 for a CC DVD of this from another source. Shame on The History Channel!!!

Pitch Black Is A Classic
|
I knew from the first time I viewed the trailer to this film, that I would like it. I saw this film three times in the theater. This film cost about $20 million to make and its better than those expensive hollywood films like Alien Resurection and MIB. David Twohy is the man. I knew this from watching The Arrival. Vin Diesel plays the coolest bad-guy ever. Who can forget those eyes! They story was good, the cinematography was out of this world. Not the mention the rest of the all-star cast. Keith David whom was in Platoon, also the voice of the Spawn character. The cop whom was in Good Will Hunting and Higher Learning. I can't wait to own this film and I'm sure I will watch it on a daily basis.

Boring, Tiresome, Dull... x 3
|
Are you a busy person who has no free time, but who would love to be able to read a book? Well now you can, thanks to this handy hint! Take any Danielle Steel book - in this demonstration we're using Five Days in Paris, but any one will do - and read every third page! You'll find that not only will you finish the book in a third of the time, but you'll still be able to follow the story! That's right! The secret lies in the way the book is worded. Danielle takes everything that needs to be said, and rewords it three times, just to make sure you (the ... reader) understands. That is, she says the same thing over and over, but in a slightly different manner. By which I mean, she repeats herself without repeating herself in the exact same way.Danielle Steel writes excellent books for prepubescent girls. Anyone over 20 with any brains will be bored senseless by her incessant need to oversimplify every single thing she says. These books need to go on the Adolescent bookshelf.

Terrible piece of junk
|
We bought three of these for Christmas--what a HUGE disappointment. They do not fly worth a darn. One never ever got off the ground. The two that did fly could not be steered or controlled. They were endlessly bashing into the ceiling and then plummeting to the floor. They seemed fun for a few minutes until it became apparent that it was not a question of learning how to fly them--they just stink! Within two hours, the blade on one helicopter broke off after hitting the wall. All three went back to the store.Skip this one and get the Syma S107Syma S107/S107G R/C Helicopter - Bluefor about the same price. It's a MUCH better helicopter. You can steer it, control how high it flies, maneuver around the house--even under tables and chairs. The Syma helicopter even lands rather than crashing! I can't say enough good things about the Syma helicopter.

Action Packed And A Whole Lot Of Fun!
|
I don't understand it when people say that this movie is not realistic, it never claims to be! It is a fun ride with with a great sound track and cast. I don't want this type of movie to be realistic, it would be too boring! This was the biggest hit of the year it was released for good reason......IT'S ENTERTAINING!!!!! That is what a movie should be! I watch a movie to escape and be swooped away from reality and that is what Armageddon does very well. If you can't just sit back and enjoy this movie with some popcorn and a soda than I feel sorry for you. Life is too short to not enjoy a great flick like Armageddon! I can't wait until it comes out in HD! Now go put the DVD in the player and hang on! :-)

Gary Puckett & the Union Gap - Young Girl
|
After searching for ages for a good Gary Puckett DVD, I'm very disappointed with this "Young Girl" DVD. Don't let the cover fool you. Let me go into detail:1) This is just Gary Puckett in the 80's without the Union Gap, a back up band..yes..but not the Union Gap. Gary sings all the songs different from the original.2) This is a crappy production. Live footage were shot with a hand held VHS camera from a distance. Audio is just as bad. Certain songs, no live footage...just the audio with still pictures!!3) This is a PAL DVD, not NTSC. So if you do not have an all regions DVD player, do not buy this DVD. Unfortunatey I do, so I had to skip thru this crappy DVD.4) The only good clip was the last section with Gary & the real Union Gap in the '60s doing Lady Willpoweer. But the audio & the lips do not sync either. Maybe because the audio was dubbed in.

Colour Me Black and White
|
Those of you who are true Prince fanatics will understand my review title. This movie is a must have for all Prince fans loyal and few? With purple blood running thru our veins, Prince waves his magical guitar at us and turns our blood black and white. (How poetic) Filmed in black and white, we see Prince and his concubines in a whole new spectrum. You can't take your eyes off Prince when he is bathing in a bath filled with rose petals or when he is dancing with Mary in the south of France while "Alexa de Paris" quietly plays in the backgound. "Under The Cherry Moon" conjures up romantic images that fill your heart with love and joy, making life seem so nice in this cruel, cruel world. Do I lie? No. Love or $?.......LOVE. Ballad rock you just can't stop, Ballad rock you just can't stop. Welcome 2 The Dawn.

Best Coming of Age Film
|
For me, one of the top ten films ever made. I feel that I know Jill Rosen (Rosanna Arquette) better than most people I have known in real life. Jill is an A student. The streetwise boyfriend she discovers is not dumb. They are both very young. One wonders if either of them ever got it together. SO many endearing lines from Jill! Her college room "It's small but it's ugly." The funky gold star on the door. And when she gets drunk! I think maybe this film says when we have the least we have the most.

As bad as this movie is...
|
At least there is an ending. Who keeps funding these shoddy attempts? Kinda makes me want to give this movie making biz a try. Anyone can make a better movie than this. The villian in this movie is never fleshed out, all he does is look at the camera and scream out... bad. There is no context for why they feel so theatened nor is there anyway to believe this race existed at all, they are just too hostile to ever exist. The (heros) main characters aren't any better. There is a point in the movie where they actually get away from the threat of an onslaught of demonic ghosts and there are about 6 heros left to hundreds of ghost beings. So, do they proceed and then come back with reenforcements? No. They comeback with the same paultry few that got whipped to begin with. Ridiculous. If you liked the Phantom Menace you may like this, however both are highly NOT reccommended.

Not that good
|
OK I just want to clarify something. Glo DNHR wrote a really stupid statement. He said he didn't like Play Me becuz Korn could didn't get somebody bigger than Nas to feature in it. First off, Nas is fairly well known. Second, GLo, you are dumb if u think what makes a song good is who you can get to feature in it. What's good is the music. Korn has too many guests on their songs and not enough talent. Btw, this album has two good songs, "Did My Time" and "Counting on Me". The rest is not super. I really don't like Korn much but they do have some good songs scattered on different albums. Buy Untouchables, it is the only halfway decent album with no crappy bagpipes or weird noises *cough*Twist.

Horrible, awful, traumatic Movie for kids
|
Did these people see the same movie I did? The cover and previews are lies. This is NOT a happy kids movie. It's not a Happy anything!This was a horrible, awful movie for kids to watch. It will leave them crying, saddened, and dealing with issues they should never have to deal with.I can't believe Disney put this movie out. I'm 42, and I came away from this HORRIFIED.I don't want to spoil this story, but parents? Watch this FIRST before subjecting your children to it, if you feel you MUST share it with them.And to Disney?I don't come to you for this type of "reality." I come to Disney for happiness, playfulness, and Joy. Spend your efforts imagineering happy things for kids. Not this kind of thing. They will learn these horrors of the world soon enough. Don't steal their childhood.Had I watched this as a pre-teen, I would have been scarred. As it is, I'm hurt and shocked. One of the very few times in life I've been disappointed with Disney.

Onward with progress........
|
In 1979, I first heard I Robot. That album (at its time was way ahead of itself). I guess you could say it was new electronic. All of APP and AP albums have helped me through hard times in my life. It seemed as though when I was growing Alan Parsons was growing. I have read all of the above rates and I have to say that I am disapointed. I guess I am too old now. If I was young and going to Rave's, then this music might come close to something I was looking for. I get the feeling that Alan's son had a lot to do with this CD. I will buy the next AP CD. However, I am 43 now and my party days are over. I guess Alan needs to key into the new younger crowd. I am saddened by this CD. Too electronic/techno for me....

Not up to the Cutting Edge or Chasing The Dream.
|
I have purchased all three of the series and feel this was the worst of the three. I loved the Cutting Edge and watch it about every two to three months. The Cutting Edge - Going for the Gold was such a great disappointment that I stopped watching it about 40 minutes into it. I watch movies for entertainment only so am no great critic as some people seem to be. I just could not get into this one. After a couple years I decided to try The Cutting Edge - Chasing the Dream so I rented it from Netflex. I liked it so much I purchased it for my collection. I feel this was as good as the first but on a little different level. More for the rednecks and for family watching. Do yourself a favor and skip Going for the Gold and get Chasing The Dream. I don't think you will be sorry.

ALIENS {BLU-RAY}
|
To me, this is the best of the 4 movies. I have always liked this film & enjoy watching it time & time again. The Blu-Ray is pretty good, with some minor grain throughout. The picture quality is much better than the Dvd. For me it is definitely worth having. The audio sounded real good to me, although I listen through external speakers hooked up to my old fashioned stereo system. There are also {2} versions of the movie on this disc. I prefer the extended version myself. As far as special features go there is a Commentary, Deleted Scenes & {2} Musical scores. Overall I would say if you don't want all {4} movies but maybe just this one like me, than I say go ahead & get it. I'm sure you will like it. One last thing. I wish they would have made this in 2:40:1 aspect ratio rather than the 1:85:1. I would have liked to have seen more of the movie & think it would have looked better. This is my opinion though.

WARNING for Parentsw
|
I'm writing this to warn parents. This is a VERY fun game, but be aware there are LOTS of satanic images and themes in this game. I hear World Tour is better. For some reason there is a concert tour on this game that is all about hell and demons and satanic stuff. There are very scary images for children (i know it's rated Teen, but come on. We all know young children are playing this game). If you don't want your kids seeing satanic images and listening to lyrics like 666 and stuff about suicide and The Beast...get a different GH. I am going to have to stop playing mine in front of my toddler because it's too scary and she really is enthralled by it. Also, the female characters are pretty oversexualized, thongs hanging out, breasts barely covered....why is this necessary? I wish gamers would think about families. It is a really fun game so it's a shame some of the fun is marred by this kind of stuff.

LATE 60S ACID METAL
|
Jesus christ, this album is heavy. I wish I had been old enough to check these guys out back in '67 '68. I can only imagine the impact Blue Cheer had on audiences with their dirty RAW grungy thick wall of guitar and thundering bass. Not to mention the brain bashing highly percussive drumming style.Blue Cheer were WAY WAY, did I say WAY? ahead of their time. To say this album withstands the test of time would be an extreme understatement. This music is heavy plain and simple. Sure you can hear the obvious 60's blues, psychedelic influences from the era. But Blue Cheer created music that you could head bang to like any Metal band from the 80s. I can listen to Vincebus Eruptum sandwiched between Slayer, Judas Priest or Black Sabbath any day. if you like Heavy rock/Metal music, YOU NEED this album now!!

A Disappointing Second Concert
|
Josh Groban has talent beyond compare and a voice that is so beautiful it's hard to describe. So I'm absolutely shocked to hear a strained, sometimes nasal Josh performing in this concert DVD. I bought both concerts. The first (2002) was stunning in every way and Josh Groban was definitely impeccable. The "Greek" performance is flawed in many ways, including the aforementioned vocal strains. I also have issues with the change arrangements for songs he did in his first concert. With "Canto Alla Vita," he starts on the keyboards with an introduction that sounds like scratching fingernails across a chalkboard. What was that?! The mind-boggling lighting that would make any rock band proud and moving scenarios shown on a screen behind him, just add more distractions. Does anyone really buy the "Defective DVD" excuse?? For those of us who paid the $29 pricetag, that's not even good for a laugh. Perhaps Groban's next CD will be better. I'm not sure I care at this point.

Rising rules
|
This is probably my favorite installment even though it's slightly flawed. Gaspard.. whatever is awesome as lector even though he doesnt look much like hopkins. I think it workes alot better than julian moore as clarice, thats for sure. Some of the scenes in this movie look really really great. Particularly in the forest with the horse and the guy. I guess it had to do with the cameras they used to filnm it. I didn't care for the ending, which is usually true of any movie I see, but overall I'd rank Rising as number one. 2. Silence 3. Red Dragon 4. Hannibal

A Scary Movie!
|
I was at first skeptical of watching this movie thinking that it would be silly. After I watched i I was well pleased. The giant maneating snake well carried the show. Jon Voight in the role of the villain was outstanding. The filming crew were very good also. The special effects in this movie were also outstanding. The snake victims being swallowed whole was pretty good photography. The scene with Jon Voight was exceptional. The scenery in this movie also added to the quality of the movie.Ifyou are squeamish about snakes don't watch this movie.All in all this was a very entertaining movie. Watch it. You will not be dissapointed.

Not too great.
|
Wow. I bought this game along with the Playsation 2 at launch and there is only one word to describe it: DISAPPOINTING. This game looks okay, but the play control, frankly [is bad]. Just like all the other madden games, but with little improvements in the graphics department. This game doesn't even have CURVED LINES! All the "curved" lines seem jagged do to the lack of anti-aliasing. Even though in the commercial, it looks neat, but those clips are just the instant replays. Anyway, this game has nothing over Dreamcast's NFL2k1. 2k1 is soooo much better. It does have it's weaknesses, but not as much as this game. 2k1 has online play, curved lines, and it is easy ... to pick a play. I am not a sega loyalist, so this review is NOT biased. This game seems very rushed. If EA took a lot more time, this game will be very excellent next year. IS IT JUST ME OR DOES THE PS2 SEEM LIKE A HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT??!! Oh well, believe what you want to, this is just my opinion.

"I bought this game along with the Playsation 2 at launch and there is only one word to describe it: DISAPPOINTING.",
"This game looks okay, but the play control, frankly [is bad].",
"Just like all the other madden games, but with little improvements in the graphics department.",
"This game doesn't even have CURVED LINES!",
"All the \"curved\" lines seem jagged do to the lack of anti-aliasing.",
"Even though in the commercial, it looks neat, but those clips are just the instant replays.",
"Anyway, this game has nothing over Dreamcast's NFL2k1.",
"2k1 is soooo much better.",
"It does have it's weaknesses, but not as much as this game.",
"2k1 has online play, curved lines, and it is easy ... to pick a play.",
"I am not a sega loyalist, so this review is NOT biased.",
"This game seems very rushed.",
"If EA took a lot more time, this game will be very excellent next year.",
"IS IT JUST ME OR DOES THE PS2 SEEM LIKE A HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT??!",
"!",
"Oh well, believe what you want to, this is just my opinion."

A complete season of BAD ACTING
|
Ok everyone. I will boycott the sh*t out of this godawful show for as long as i have a breath in my body. Has anyone notice that this show is about as real as the jetsons? Jackass was the best show ever. It can never be topped. Well, hell at least the jetsons is written better. It seems someones addicted to smack, smacking woman and at the same time seems to be going thrugh the mafia ladder. Wow!! hate to blow the season for you. Even the boy in the bubble had a deck of cards....... Boring. I dont care what the episodes are called, they all have the same plot. This show is nothing short of a soap opera. i would honestly rather watch the bold and the beautiful before this show anyday. BAD

PLEASE, PLEASE DO NOT BUY A SONY BRAND CAMCORDER
|
JUST LIKE SEVERAL OTHERS I BOUGHT THIS CAMCORDER WHEN IT FIRST CAME ON THE MARKET. MINE WAS PURCHASED IN DEC. 2004. IT WORKED FINE UNTIL JUNE OF THIS YEAR. AFTER SPENDING CLOSE TO AN HOUR ON THE PHONE WITH SONY'S REPAIR DEPT. I FOUND OUT IT WILL COST $211 TO REPAIR, AND I ONLY GET A 90 DAY GUARANTEE ON THAT. MY CAMCORDER JUST STOPPED WORKING, PERIOD! FOR NO REASON AT ALL, THE LCD SCREEN WAS THE FIRST THING THAT WENT, THEN IT WOULD NOT CHARGE, THEN IT WOULD NOT EVEN POWER ON!! THIS CAMERA HAS NEVER BEEN DROPPED, HIT, NEVER WET, NEVER USED OUTSIDE IN RAIN OR SNOW ETC; THIS IS THE BIGGEST WASTE OF $800 I HAVE EVER SEEN, AND IT'S OBVIOUS FROM THE OTHER OPINIONS I HAVE READ, I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON TO HAVE GOTTEN THE ROYAL SHAFT FROM SONY. MY NEXT LETTER WILL BE TO SONY. SO ANYBODY AND EVERYBODY, PLEASE, PLEASE, DO NOT PURCHASE ANYTHING MADE BY SONY!!!!

Very awkward to use off the tee.
|
The device didn't work for me for several reasons. 1st, try looking at your hands when you swinging at a ball. It's difficult. Also, very slight variations in hand rotation can make a big difference in club position. The point here is that unless you have major problem in this area, the band doesn't really detect it in a meaningful way.At the driving range I felt handcuffed. When picking balls out of a bucket you need to take the swing band off and put it on again. Of course, this is always going to be required for all shots off a tee. I found this on-off process to be a pain because the Swing Band has to be re-set up each time. You can try handling balls with the device on, however, it's much more difficult.Before purchasing, I recommend that you try securing your hands together with some rubber bands. Then hit a few balls at the driving range. This will give you a sense of what it's like use the Swing Band.

Finally on DVD!!
|
We've waited a long time for Suzanne to put out a concert video, and this one does not disappoint. I've seen her live 3 times, and she is a captivating performer. On this DVD, Suzanne seems a bit detached from the Montreaux audience, and I think the chemistry might have been better with a U.S. audience. But even so, the intimacy is there.The sound is very good (thanks DTS 5.1), but not great like the West 54th Sessions concert. I really wish they would put that entire performance on DVD (& every other Session @ West 54th for that matter). Suzanne's band has always been top notch. They're cool when they need to be, and they can rock when they need to. I'm especially enamored of bass player Mike Visceglia. He lays down some of the coolest bass lines i've ever heard.... and looks cool doing it!This concert DVD is a real treat. Suzanne looks and sounds wonderful, and delivers a great performance. Some things could have been done better, but I still give it 5 stars.

quietest door opener
|
I had a Sears opener previous that died prematurely because the contractor that did my home only put one tension spring in instead of two. Still the Sears unit(made by Chamberlain) lasted 12 years. I could have fixed it for 30-40 bucks but I figured 12 years is enough. This belt drive was easy to assemble. I took the old one down leaving what I thought I could reuse in place. Anything that showed any sign of wear, I was going to replace but found nothing amiss except the bearing under the sprocket that failed originally. The new one bolted right in place. I replaced the sensors just because. Same with the wall button and push button entry.I can't believe how quiet this garage door opener is. With the passage door into the house closed, we cannot hear it. Standing out in the garage what you hear the most are the wheels on the door. So much so that I ordered nylon wheels with 13 ball bearing to see how quiet I can get it. I highly recommend this door opener by Chamberlain.

Alas!
|
I purchased this book in a National Park bookstore. Given its glowing reviews I plunged in and read it in just a few days. It's a stunningread - - well written and understated. Several times during the process I was puzzled; eight days in the Gobi without water, thirty miles per day in rough going, etc. However, so absorbing is the book that I suspendedmy better judgment in the rush to advance the story. Only upon completion did the doubts surface. Upon rereading certain sections, it now seems clear that the story is a hoax. Furthermore, it is written bysomeone without much experience in hiking/walking in wilderness. I alsowondered why the USSR would "waste" one year in trying to get one individual to confess before shipping him to Siberia. I leave this to experts on the Soviet Union, but as one who has done just a bit of hiking in warm climates, I can say the "long walk" portion of this book is moreof a comic book story than a real one. A pity.

Great juicer, great price
|
This is my first juicer. I shopped around and based my purchase on the great reviews I saw on this juicer. It just goes to show that you don't have to pay $150 to get a quality juicer. This one does the job very well.It's really powerful and so far I've juiced apples, celery, oranges, pears, carrots, romaine lettuce, lemons, and watermelon. You should not juice soft fruits like strawberries and bananas or you will WASTE the fruit. It's best to juice other harder items first and then blend the soft fruit into your juice. I juice at least 3 times a day and it's doing great. I also love that it's not white. White or other lighter color juices will stain easily with green and orange veggies and fruits. Cleaning is a pain, but that's going to happen with any juicer you purchase. You should rinse parts off promptly (especially the basket) so that it will last longer.
