Great Camera! Nikon just keeps getting better.
|
Best camera I ever had. With Lexar Media flashcards you can hold at least 79 pictures in normal XGA mode. I takes up alot of batteries. Use recharble nikads. Run them up and down a couple of times. One feature I love is the delete button. I can take some good pictures but out of 100 pictures I normaly have to throw away at least 5. You also can print as many pictures as you want. So what, it's around $900.00 in about 3 years you could pay off that because you don't have to pay for film, devolping and printing. The LCD display is 100% acurate. Why spend the extra money for a camera that has "You see what you get" when you can have this camera. I was so impressed that I threw my film camera away without thinking about it.

Worked OK for a while
|
Can't recommend this one. Its range is too limiting and not accurate. I never got it to register over 199 degrees while my old fashioned oven thermometer says its 350 (it says it will go to 392). Fine for meat but sometimes like to know other temps such as grease temps and the like.Also you can't turn off the alarm. I like to know what the temp is and want to set it without having the alarm come on. I could go on and on about the limitations.NOWIt worked OK for a while then, when I have company coming over.... refuses to work at all. Thought it was the batteries but no luck. Piece of junk now. I'm out to find something more versatile and that works.11-20-2012I have added back one star as it has begun to work again. I left the batteries out for a while and now seems to be communicating again. The rest of the review still is valid.

Extremely Disappointing
|
I was so excited to hear that Masterpiece Theatre was doing "A Room With a View." It is one of my favorite books, partly because the writing, story, and characters are wonderful, and partly because I just feel good at the end of it. I don't want to trivialize a wonderful piece of literature, but it is a feel good book.This adaptation took most of the joy out of the story. The filming was good, the scenery was beautiful, and the acting wasn't bad, but it lacked anything that made me happy to be watching it. I won't give away the ending, but it killed the whole thing for me. I just left feeling sad. It isn't just that it was not part of the book. I understand when things get changed a little bit because it is a movie and not a book. This however, added nothing to it. It revealed nothing more about the characters or the main themes of the story. It just sapped all of the joy out of the film. Watch the Merchant Ivory production, it was so much better.

WE'VE WAITED SO LONG FOR THIS ON DVD, BUT....
|
I've been waiting for "Raise the Red Lantern" on DVD for quite awhile. It is good to finally see it available. However, this transfer is very disappointing. First of all, the print is not restored. In fact it's not a new one! This one's been shown many times in some cinema somewhere with scratches and all. Also the "Surround" sounds more like mono to me. And worse of all, in 2006, it's "widescreen" but not "Anamorphic" nor "Enhanced" for widesceen televisions. I still have my Laser Disc of this fim which is "Pan and Scan", but at least it's a new print and in real "Surround" sound! This is a stunning film visually and a wonderful story. It's a shame someone didn't do it justice. Keep an eye out for a new mastering one of these days. Hey, Criterion! Are you listening?

Another Great Sony Product!
|
This camera was a christmas gift. So far (about 1 week) I love it! The picture quality is amazing, and the ease of use is even better. Pop in a memory stick take a picture, upload. MPEG EX lets you take 70 minute movies (no audio) on a 128MB memory stick. This camera is very small and has a viewfinder for quick point-and-shoot pictures. The LCD also has the option to turn off, saving battery life. Which brings up another thing. This camera can use 2 AA's. Although they only last 15-20 minutes it is a great life-saver if the big battery dies and you have some AAs. I recommend buying the Info lithium battery. Overall, this camera is a very high quality camera. If your thinking about a high-quality consumer level camera, check this one out.

Could have been a 5 ... but the card stock quality is poor
|
The tarot itself is fine. The other reviews already testify to that. The book is a beautiful hard cover book... but what happened in the card stock department? I was disapointed for a number of reasons. The deck comes in three wrapped parts, no box. Once the deck is unwrapped the beautiful box the book and cards came in is no longer usable (the ends are gluded shut - once opened it's a throw-away). There is no box for the deck itself. The card stock is of lower quality than most other decks (e.g., I had to use an x-acto knife to finish triming the corners of two cards). Also, the cards are not all uniform in size. If the card stock had been what we are used to... this deck would have been better. Instead it's falls short of average.

tickle me funny
|
Im a parent of boy/girl twin who lives in NYC. I bought 2 TMX (the elmo & cookie monster). The elmo I was familiar with and thought the children would love it for xmas and they do. It makes them laugh too. I was highly disappointed with the cookie monster as it is noticeably smaller than elmo in height and width - 14.5"H vs. 11.5"H. The performance of the elmo is rated 5 stars vs. cookie monster 3.5 stars. We put in new batteries in on xmas day & the monster needs new ones by tues a.m. while elmo is going. monster is a definite batt. hog & wont perform all action on low batts. I prefer cookie monster's sayings though. Lastly it costed $30 more for the monster @ 69.99 vs. elmo @ 39.99. I dunno why????? Conclusion: I will be returning the monster to get the elmo; I also think amazon should incl the measurements of the toys.

I wonder if these two ladies are single?
|
I find this book a total waste. These two authors seem to be capitalizing on their emotional short falls when it comes to relationships. I do understand that everyone is entitled to his or her opinion. That is my intention, to express my opinion. I feel that these two ladies have no real dealings when it comes to relationship. The way that they portray all men is very insulting. The authors try and give you the impression that all men are stupid and insensitive. This is not true. I am sorry that these two ladies have never experienced a true relationship. As far as their impressions of men go, these two ladies will never experience a loving, give and take relationship. I repeat again "a give and take relationship". For the men that you have dumped in the past using these tactics, more power to them, they are better off without the likes of these two emotionally distressed ladies.

Lovely Christmas Offering
|
This was a lovely Christmas offering with passages of Dickens's A Christmas Carol interspersed throughout the book. The author has well developed characters and the dialog is smart and sassy and sometimes profound."I should do something about that if I were you," Jules said"He does not belong to me, Jules." Elizabeth shrugged. "I have no claim on him.""I should do something about that too." Jules studied Nicholas for a moment. "He is rather a catch.""If one were seeking a salmon. I however am not in the mood for a fish course." She flashed her sister a wicked grin. "Only dessert."The plot is well conceived. We understand Lizzie's reluctance to become involved with Nicholas again. We are also led to understand why Nicholas has acted as he has. The only thing left for us to wonder about is how they will each become aware that their grand passion is love.

Reluctantly had to return the item after 2-3 weeks.
|
The look of this machine is awesome!! I like the look, design of it. The sound of the pump is fine but.....I had to return the unit after 2 weeks of countless attempts to make a cup of espresso. No matter what sort of coffee coarse provided with either store or home ground, the result was either too watery or syrupy, one drop at a time. I followed steps suggested in the manual and tests instructed by the Lello technician. STILL THE SAME RESULT!!! It either took like 10-15 minutes to get a 2 ounce shot (drop by drop) or 5-10 seconds of watery coffee. I tried with both provided baskets. I am suspecting that my unit was defective though I ordered it NEW. I received email notice from Amazon that my refund had been processed. I am actively in search for an espresso maker. I possibly may have to settle for either Delonghi or Krups.I am also comfortable to make purchases at Amazon.

Great Movie
|
I have just recently seen Face/Off on tv. I can't tell you how great I thought it was. Everything about the movie was unbelieveable and the action was awesome. John Woo is the best director there is. Lets face it, though, no one goes to see a John Woo movie for the fantastic plot or wholesome banter. You go to see the best gunfights and combat money can buy. Although this movie did have some intriguing melodrama, where Travolta gets with Cage's wife. This is my current favorite movie, and it probably would be one of your favorites, too. Defintely buy this movie. Just do it. It'll make you more attractive to women. Trust Me.

Only because i can't give 0 stars
|
i am not a big country fan. I like some stuff (Mainly Tim McGraw, Toby Keith & Dixie Chicks) I do like "songs" of certain artists.Tracy Lawrence is one of those people I like certain songs. Alibis, If The World Had A Front Porch, Renegades, Rebels & Rogues, Texas Tornado & Time Marches On.I own 3 of his cd's. I had 4 until i sold this one on ebay. I have never heard such garbage. "Paint Me A Birmingham" what the hell is that?! I thought he had at least some talent, but tripe like Birmingham is awful. The rest of the cd fares no better. I would do one of my usual reviews where i do song by song but i can't find anything nice to say about any, that's ANY song on this CD.Coincidentally, i saw him live on the rocking the roadhouse tour a few years back with Mark Chesnutt & Joe Diffie. Not a bad talent live. Maybe he should go back to the way he was.

My long lost squishy was replaced with this...
|
It's fair to say that I love this hat. I bought my first hat back in 2009, and wore it everywhere. It went with me to Australia, down the coast of America, on many a hike, bike and walk with the dog...... and then I lost it while camping up in the San Juan Islands. I was distraught. Inconsolable. Lost. Also, sunburned.Then, to my immeasurable happiness... I saw Amazon Prime offered this hat with free shipping, direct to my apartment. I could once again have my foldable hat, my squishy. Which, coincidentally, is why I bought it in the first place - sometimes, hats get mashed down in your hiking pack, and you really don't want to have to worry about it getting destroyed.Pros: Everything except the hat band.Cons: The hat band is glued down. WTF mate. Who glues a hat band down?!

JEFF ABBOT GOES HOLLYWOOD
|
This book works as a script. The plotting is tight. The twists keep you turning the pages. It continues Abbot's obsession with missing mothers and mysterious fathers all bound together by the love of a son. Abbott is consistent. Once again, he has a character "tent his cheek". You can see the movie. Redford as the father. A cameo by Sarandon as the mother. Some flashbacks. Toby Maguire as the protagonist. For consistent chemistry, lets toss in Ms. Dunst as the love interest. And that is the problem. Jeff Abbott knows better. And writes better. Where is the thought and the heart that has made my Judge Whit Mosely my favorite jurist? Where are the characters, the people, good and bad, with whom Mr. Abott has taken our imaginations in his past efforts? Gone to Hollywood it appears. That is not necessarily a bad thing. It is a let down for this reader.

Oldie but Goodie
|
Had the identical grill / waffle maker through the 80's & 90's, loved it! Enclosed waffle recipe made just short of 4 full waffles. Increased ingredients abit thus creating 4 full perfect waffles with no run over. Made bulk waffles and froze. This allowed our boys to pop in toaster and enjoy a hot, nutritious breakfast or snack. Thrilled to have perfect pancakes again too using the combo flip grills.We used our waffle / grill maker for over 20+ years. The two 'heavy' metal clamps that hold the iron plates in tight, finally wore out causing plate(s) to fall out unexpectedly becoming a possible burn hazard. Loose clamps were the only reason for discarding. Metal clamps on new unit do not seem as heavy. One unit, dual purpose, and easy storage. Would prefer exterior to be brushed stainless steel NOT a shiny surface. Shiny surface, kids, fingerprints - need I say more?

Don't believe the hype!
|
I just finished viewing Sparkle. It was amazing. The actors were marveleous and the music was right on time. Whitney was astounding as I believe she delivered one of her greatest performances ever. This is a must see. Jordan Sparks really surprised me with her fresh performance. My complaint about the movie is that I wish it had been a bit longer. Whitney's maturity in this movie really made it believable. It's hard to believe that that was her last performance. However, it is one that she will be remembered for a long time. Mike Epps was something else. A brilliant actor, I can't think of anyone else who could have captured the arrogance and insincerity of his chracter. This movie has earned its place in my collection. Please believe me when I say that the previews does not do this movie justice. It is not just a great movie, because of the actors. It is just a great movie. This is most definitely a must see.

A rare & wondeful treat
|
I was extremely lucky to have found this, because it is a) an import & b) limited edition...especially lucky to find just thrown in the kylie section of a Pennsylvania Borders! Ok, here it is track-by-track:1. Chocolate [Radio Edit]:While this cuts the album version of the song by one minute and two seconds, it's better. Her vocals are improved, & more of an arrangement is used. 10/102. City Games: THis extreme rarity is fabulous. Very R&B; pop. 10/103. Chocolate [Tom Middleton Cosmos Remix]: A club dub. Cool when you have so much energy in you that you have to dance it out, but not for a regular listen. 7/104. Chocolate [EMO Mix]: Woderful. A good R&B; dance mix of the song. 9/105. Love @ First Sight [Live]: A live version of the Fever hit. I usually love live sounds, but this when isn't quite up to par with the original. 8/10I still have yet to figure out how to access the video. (...)Overall great package, great mixes, great rarities.

People want this movie. I want this movie. This was a damn good positive movie. No cuss words that I can remember (except for the old dude, giving the bird) not that I care. They do use the word Hell and if you think that word is a curse word, then this movie would bring better context for use of that word. Bring on Helltrack! Lori Loughling is hot in this movie. This movie had such a positive effect on me as a youngster that I went out and got a paper route. Wow! A movie was so positive that it made me get a job. It's that good a movie, I'm waiting for it. So bring it!

Simply One of the Best Exercise Book!!!!!!
|
I am EXTREMELY PLEASED WITH AND GRATEFUL for this book--the explanations just make good senses. I studied it on a daily basis as I wanted to plan for my workout incorporating all elements of getting and staying fit. I used it as a book "mentor" to encourage me to follow the right stuff in this book. The big pictures he explained in exercise, mind, method, diet, and the long haul strategies is not matched by many books--it's explained so simple and yet so great! I appreciate this book very much. All the good solid honest stuff, no hypes. I'm a little more than beginning-level of training. I'm very disciplined most of the time. You'll benefit very fast if you have some dicipline for exercise. Body for Life gets me started to where I'm now; 3-Minute Abs puts me in another level of learning about fitness. Both of them are exceptional good books for people like me who just wanted to get fit and healthy.

Absolutely the best toothpaste ever!!
|
This is the best toothpaste on the market. It makes your mouth feel "fresh from the dentist clean." The smooth feeling on your teeth last all day. I use the product with the accelerator for a whiter smile. I noticed a difference in how white my teeth were within one week. I've had co-workers tell me, you have a beautiful smile. I've had neighbors compliment me on how beautiful my teeth were. It has to be working for all these people to tell me so. At first I wasn't sure if it was working or not but when more than a few people tell you the same thing, believe me it's not just lip service. I would continue to use this product even if I never received one compliment because it make your mouth feel clean. I have ordered the full line of SUPERSMILE PRODUCTS, I love it.

This romance novel is REALLY GOOD, no kidding!
|
I have been disappointed in the last 5 or 6 romance novels I've read (I will be nice and not mention any names of those books or authors.) This book, however, was awesome! I think you will love reading "WHAT MATTERS MOST". Very romantic. Characters are great. I loved "Reed", wish I could marry him myself! There's a little boy in the story, Toby. He is a sweetie. Fell in love with him too. Very clever story. I was really hooked on this one and read the whole thing in less than 2 days because I couldn't wait to find out how it ended. I am always happy to discover a new writer and Mrs. Griggs is a really good find. I will definitely look forward to getting her next one. Highest rating - 5 stars!

Recommended for Nausea

This is one of the worst games I've played in years. Yeah, the graphic stills look great, but just try playing the game for more than an hour. It has the most obnoxious 3rd person camera I've ever seen. It zooms in and out whenever it feels like it and you have no control over it. You would think that when the evil boss's gigantic super tank pops up to splatter you that the camera would shift so you can look at it, but nope. You get to fight most of your enemies off screen. Luckily, you are equipped with an auto tracking device that renders any aiming skills you may have useless, and makes it basically a dodge ball game with a plot. Sound like fun? Just wait until you're trying to track down that helicopter firing missles at you and the camera keeps zooming in and out and spinning! Yeah, it's cheap, but so is sticking your finger down your throat, and that's more fun. Save your money and buy something playable, like Grim Fandango, or The Sims.

Mom of Busy Boy
|
My son is always on the go. He has had the Rescue Hero Figures since he was two and had played with them for hours! He received the Command Center for this third birthday and plays with it every day! With so much technology today I love to listen to his postive, creative play. I will hear him playing "Calling all Rescue Heroes" "Rescue Heroes save the day" It is so nice to see a postive role play with so much violence going on around us. Although it does need some room to be able to access all sides, it has withstood hard play. Among other things, it's been knocked over in a storm, flooded by a volcano and caught on fire and still stands! Even my six year old daughter and her friends will ask to play with him! All the kids love the recordable message feature. Ours is never the same from day to day! I would recommend this center and all Rescue Heroes acessories to anyone promoting creative play!

Help them sing on pitch
|
Wow... talk about where the state of music is going. Just saw them on Saturday Night Live and checked out some of their tracks. How did they ever land that gig? Oh yeah, SNL has been tanking for some 20 years now and the only thing more amazing is how Lorne Michaels has kept his job. But I digress. At the end of a bizarre, boring, overly self-justifying song the lead singer smashes his guitar into small pieces on stage. Ho-hum. Already been done and if your 6 chord endlessly repeated melody can be modified ever so slightly by adding yet another absurd texture from your big band, then it's beyond me to say how. The opening church organ sounded interesting but the only funeral going on here is for this band. Backing vocals all off pitch, music going nowhere. Check it out before you buy.

Josh Kelley "For the Ride Home" is really that..............
|
This unmatchable album has so many great qualities; I have trouble just putting it into words. I was somewhat uneasy when I first heard about it, but now I can't put it down. The first hit single is titled "Amazing" and it really is. You can pop this album into your car and play it for days. It never gets old or annoying. All the songs are good songs, my favorite is "Everybody wants you" which is the most original and best track on the album by far. I also fell in love with the song "Home to me" which expresses his vocals greatly. This album is for the true music lover, who can understand all types of musical expression. There are also no songs that are just there to take up space, they all are good songs. I prescribe this to anyone who is suffering from headaches due to half the crap the industry is producing. You should definitely buy this album.

I would give this Zero stars if I could
|
Three Problems1) It takes FOREVER to get this if you ever do. And I mean months. I blame the publisher Dynamite.2) The reproduction is horrid. It looks like someone ran the originals through a photocopier. If you are used to the quality work on the Dark Horse reissues of Marvel's Conan, you will be stunned. Once again, I blame the publisher.3) And this is Amazon's fault. When I received the book (USPS) it was just beaten and abused. The front cover was worn. The corners were bent over. In fact, the lower right corner had started to separate. I don't know if the reason I waited so long was because the publisher is sold out and I got a return, but the quality both of the work and the condition of book was really sub-par.I would return this if it was worth the $10 to do so.I cancelled my order for the Red Sonja 2. No need to make a mistake twice.

Should Not Have Won American Idol 2
|
Okay, people, the sad fact is that Ruben's music does not appeal to a broad base of people. It is R&B; sounding as opposed to pop sounding like Clay Aiken's album. On the whole, the R&B; sound does not have mass appeal.What's sad is that America let Ruben win American Idol when you never even see his crappy music around anywhere. What do I hear being played on the radio? Kelly and Clay. What do I like the sound of? Kelly and Clay. Who do you see getting television appearances and cameos? Kelly and Clay. The only things I have even seen Ruben on are the NAACP Awards and some urban sitcom on the WB or UPN.So to sum things up, this album is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING like what Ruben sang on American Idol. Avoid it unless you like R&B;, and not very good R&B; at that.

Bad for kittens, bad for humans
|
We recently bought this crap from our Vet for our kittens. We dabbed a little bit on Christo's head as a test and it immediately started jerking around, heavily salivating then full on foaming at the mouth! Our poor kitten! This was only a few dabs of Adams mind you. We called the Vet right away and was told "oh yeah, that happens some times. Your cat will stop foaming within an hour". What the f*k ? The smell of this horrible product made both me and my wife nauseas as well. It is so highly scented as to be noxious. We had to remove from the room the cotton ball we used to apply the test on Christo.The only reason we tried this stuff is because our kittens aren't yet old enough for the really right flea treatment - apparently called "revolution". In the meantime we're going back to plan A for our kits - Dawn Pure Essential baths with lots of fresh water for the rinse.Stay away from Adams. It's pyrethrin - the same stuff they use to kill cockroaches!

Read it... then read it AGAIN!
|
Reading this book is almost like having Simon in the room with you, cheering you along. His personality and energy jumps off the pages. His encouragement is sincere and his passion is infectious. I have seen him speak, and was amazed that so much enthusiasm can come from one person!! If you have not seen him speak... DO! If you can book him to speak for your organization... DO IT! If you have not read this book yet... READ IT!I recommend reading the book once, but skip the journal exercises. Then go back and spend a whole day going through the book again and doing the exercises. If you can devote one day to working through them, and truly focus on your passion, I think you will find this book to be an invaluable guide to finding what you are looking for in your life. As Simon says, "DREAM BIG!" Who better to learn from than someone who just did it!?

Is this really Italy?
|
I don't know if I was more disappointed or angered at this little insignificant but dangerous book. The contents has very little to do with what children, who travel to Italy, will ever encounter. What I find it does is continue the negative strereotyping of the Italians. Really! No one stomps on grapes and a child who will visit a farm in Italy will hardly see such outdated stereotypical occurrences. Can food be the only thing one would like of Italy? Of course, since the book failed to explain what other things of wonder a child might see. I bought this for my grandchildren, as sadly there are very few book on Italy with some italian words. I returned the book because I would NEVER introduce Italy to my grandchildren this way. A very expensive book that perpatuates outdated images. Poor job.

my #1 phones
|
So my favorite pair of headphones from 10 years ago had the ear cushions finally crumble off. Of course I just couldn't find new cushions to slap on, so I tracked down these: the new version of my beloved Sony headphones. When I did a general search nothing could compare. The features I like: 1) the clip-on ear is comfortable for me (convenient spring action) since I hate the earbuds (too intrusive) and over the head ones are bulky & mess with the hair. 2) the behind the neck connection. Most phones Y-up from the front, and so one phone just hangs if you only want one on to listen. This way they can sit nicely on your shoulder/s. 3) Super compact, easy for travel. I use them at work and while flying, and they're great. I'm sure this pair will hold up as great as the last, it has a nice smooth and strong cord. As for sound quality, I'm not a snob, it sounds good to me!

Haunted
|
The first time I saw this movie I was dissapointed having just been private Ryanized. But something about this film stayed with me. When it came out on video I was able to watch it.......over and over and over again. This is not a run of the mill war story. Every time I watched I found a new dimension. Now without getting to deep, the action and battle scenes were second to none. But they were presented beautifully, the first two soldiers get shot, and the sun changes the landscape right before your eyes. When we overran the Japanese base the emotions and images I felt and saw were haunting. The relationship of man and nature is never far from the main story line.It also has a very interesting soundtrack. If you choose to view this movie, you'll need to see it several times to get it. I think I did.

A True Sesame Street Fan
|
I bought this book for my 16 month old son. He loves The Sesame Street Word book and thought this would be a good addition to his collection. He likes it okay, but still prefers the Word Book hands down. It starts with the alphabet devoting one to two pages per letter. Each page(s) has the letter and pictures of things starting with the letter. It also has the word naming the picture. I agree with other reviewers..some letters were not depicted very well compared to others. The second half covers numbers 1-20 then skip counts by tens numbers 20-100. All are done with pictures. If you had one book to buy I'd get The Sesame Street Word Book. However if you want to add to other educational books you have, this is a great purchase.

Beautiful Bonsai
|
I had seen a 750 year old Satsuki bonsai at a large bonsai shop that I visit once a year. (Several years ago). I fell madly in love with this bonsai, but could not afford the $1,000 plus price tag. I had been looking for this bonsai forever, craft fairs, bonsai shops, flower shops, you name it. One day, I was just looking for different things, surfing through Amazon.com and there it was. The bonsai that I waited for, longed for and wanted so badly! The best thing is that I got it just before I went in for surgery. I knew that it was waiting for me at home, to come home and take care of it so that it will flower for me, year after year. In fact, it came with buds on it and flowered the day before I went into the hospital! What a wonderful gift to give yourself!!!

Excellent Product
|
I just bought this through Amazon and I love it. First, I am not a techno junkie who carries Laptop, Blackberry, and IPOD with every little gadgets known to man. With that said, I realized that I needed a MP3 player, since it is considerable upgrade from a tape or cd player.I run about 3-6 times a week. I don't like to run with earphones when I am outside, but at least twice a week, I run on a treadmill. This MP3 is perfect for my indoor running. I stored about 100 MP3 songs and I am in my own world for 30-60 minutes. It is extremely light and comes with an armband. The battery life is long. When the juice runs out, then just swap the battery (it tells you how much battery juice you got left). It is a lot better than worrying about recharging.So, if you are a simple guy who just want some music while exercising, then this is perfect for you. I hope this helped!!!

I love this movie so much! It's been sticking with me throughout my whole childhood. I loved mice when I was a kid and I still do today. I admit there are a few things I can't look at like Fidget's laughing in our faces or Ratigan's red eyes in the clock tower, but I memorized the pattern enough to avoid it. Basil, Toby, Ratigan, and Fidget are my 4 favorite characters. I love the music, the setting of London, everything! I also love the Big Ben climax, it's easily my all time favorite climax in Disney History. Ratigan's song "The World's Greatest Criminal Mind" is my favorite villain song. I also use his song "Goodbye So Soon" for goodbye themed occasions, such as a preschool class graduation in 2011. I love this movie so much. I've watched it a million times, and I know I'll be watching it a million times more. :)

Moot point...
|
I can't believe this book was even written. Considering that Lovecraft INVENTED the Necronomicon for his writings makes EVERYTHING written about this so-called real grimoire completely moot. It's like writing about finding the Emerald City of Oz in the Utah desert. And for those who still believe that the book really existed... you have got to stop deluding yourself and finding laughable ways and theories to prove that it really existed! I have been a Lovecraft fan for over 18 years and own everything he has produced, so of course I picked up the "original" Simon Necronomicon when it came out. In trade paperback, of course. I mean, how dangerous could it be? It has an ISBN number! And we all know what a joke that book was. So please, if you want entertainment and a damn good read, then read something by Lovecraft. If you want to continue to delude yourself, by all means, read this book and have fun.

sigma 300mm f 2.8
|
I have bought a copy of this lens for a pentax k-20 and k-7. It is the worst lens i have in my collection. The international warrenty is completly useless. Do not travel and buy this lens. I have had it for three months and it is a good paper weight. I have tried to get international warrenty on the lens and no one in asia services the lens or does not have the equipment to work on it. The autofocus is so far out it is worthless. Sigma says send it in with camera at my own expense. What a rip off. The IQ is very poor for a lens like this.I suggest buying a paper weight for 5 dollars. And not a 3000 dollar one.

Elvis almost...not quite...hits bottom
|
Whoever rates this movie with 5 stars obviously knows zilch concerning motion pictures as an art form (which it is, by the way). Guided with HORRIBLE management from the illegal alien, Elvis "shows up for work" (exact quote). So sad what happened to this guy. I certainly disagree with the 1 star reviews (they know nothing concerning an up-and-starter-turned-into-product-for-the-machine). This movie can be explained in one word... cheap! Everything about it is cheap. No wonder Elvis would later say. "This whole town (Hollywood) is laughing at me" (another exact quote). If it were filmed on location, I may even rate it with 3 stars...average. But, of course, that was impossible. Mexico has quite different laws concerning extradition, particularly concerning a possible murder suspect. Why oh why didn't "E" fire that guy????

One of the best novels of the last 25 years
|
I am a fan of Samuel L. Jackson. He is one of the few actors whose movies I will watch no matter what they are. That is how I stumbled on the film adaption of this book. I loved the movie, and so I went to read the novel. This book is fantastic. First of all, hats off to the film's director for making such a true adaption. And hats off to the author for writing such an increadible book. The character is hysterical and tragic and truely one of the most intriguing people I have ever read about. I wanted this book to go on and on. The characters are complex and the writing style is sharp and unique. The author made me care about what was happening, and that is rare in modern literature. I would recommend this book to anyone, and I am defiantly going to read more of the works of George Dawes Green.

Its like a Rollar Coaster...That kills you
|
im reluctant to even give it a single star. Neon Genesis Evangelion, or EVA as me and my otaku friends call it was terrible. In the begining, we get your overused mecha piolet. Neglected, and reluctant, Shinji Ikari pilots eva 01. His whinning and doubt are easily ignored for most the series which is a lot of buildup. At first i thought this series was phenominal, until i reached the ending. The story just kept getting better, like the first hill of a rollar coaster, getting you ready for the main event, in this case, the ending. But then the ending came. In the las few episodes, eva went from great to the worst anime i've ever seen. Shinji turns gay with the last angel and chaos ensues. This series belongs in the trash. Once you reach the top of the hill of the rollar coaster, you plummet to your death.

Take any song by the Rolling Stones. Even take Emotional Rescue. Compare it to anything on this CD. If you have good taste, you will see that the Rolling Stones are beyond better than NSYNC.However, it's more than a little unfair to compare flash-in-the-panners with legendary rock 'n' rollers (I'll leave you to find out who's legendary and who's flash-in-the-pan). So take another band. Try the lesser-known Steely Dan. Even their fillers stand head-and-shoulders above NSYNC's work. Keep going down the line until you've found the world's most obscure garage band. Ya know what? Even that's better than this. Oh, by the way, this is terrible.

Don't have time to read... and yet...
|
So... here's the deal. I'm in college and it's actually my last term. I don't have time to read. However, I bought this book with wishful thinking. ... I read the whole novel in a day! I, simply, could NOT put it down. Bella is so easy to relate to. She's so cynical and sarcastic and yet so full of emotion... and Edward is to die for! In my mind he is simply amazing. I have never written a review before. In fact I should be doing homework right now, but I fell in love with this book and I can almost guarantee you will too. If anything, its SO much better than homework! I highly, HIGHLY, recommend this book. It's just beautiful.

Excellent and Surprising!
|
I have to say, first of all, that I did not enjoy the last four books. I had to put them down, pause for a month, and start reading from the beginning in order to finish it. With "harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix," I read for hours on end. I'm not finished yet, but this book is difficult to put down once my neck starts to stiffen. Thus far, I've noticed rather significant changes in old characters and changes in character addition. Harry seems more like a real person now also. This book seems to leave you hanging with something on every page. I think this is really the first time I can say that I've gotten lost in a book. J.K. Rowling most likely did us a favor by taking such a long time on this story. I also think it helped that no information on the book was released before it's actual release. I am thoroughly enjoying this book.

Get Ready For A Ride
|
I'll tell you what I liked about this book. I am an avid mystery reader. I enjoy a book that I can sit down and relax with. I guess in a way that means that I enjoy a predictable read. As I was reading The Deal Master I found myself enjoying the book and then thinking, "What's going on?" The book is by no means predictable. It called on my full attention. And as I gave the story more attention, it delivered more to me. The story pulls you in. And once it has you, and just when you think you have a handle on it, Wham! The story takes off in a different direction like a rocket ship. If you are like me and enjoy Robert Parker, Michael Connelly, Patricia Cornwell, Stuart Woods and John Sanford I think you will thoroughly enjoy this book. Just don't make the mistake I did and think that this novel is like anything written by these other authors, because it is not. It goes beyond.

Synopsis is misleading...way off
|
The movie, although well acted by Gallo, far fits the description. First of all, he has no problem killing anyone. So don't go by the synopsis that was written by someone who obviously didn't watch the film. Second, the movie is mostly silent, so there's no dialog that helps you follow the story. However, you soon realize dialog isn't needed because the film never provides a real story line or plot. For example, he flashes back to events from his past but no details or even background are shared. The flashbacks could have been left out of the film and we'd never know the difference. This story is definitely not about war or politics. What this movie is really about is survival in extreme cold conditions. Nothing more. So if you're waiting for an explanation of why he killed, what lead him to kill...you'll never get an answer.

Tiger with Jelly Teeth
|
I have read all of Tom Clancy's novels. Most I liked. Some are brilliant. Teeth of the Tiger is his worst book and comes nowhere near to the reading pleasure of his earlier books. There are also many inconsistencies and errors. In his book Mr. Clancy places for example the Mont Blanc tunnel between France and Switzerland. In reality, unless someone has moved it, it connects France and Italy. Furthermore Mr. Clancy heralds the quality of white Tuscan wine. Any wine connesseur will tell you that Tuscany has poor white wines and excellent red wines. Clancy is after the quick buck and does little and bad research, right the opposite of what made his earliuer books a huge success. The whole story is so unbelievable and childish, the language used infantile. Trash, and if possible I'd like to have my money back. Don't buy the Teeth of the Tiger.

DINOVO LASER PROBLEMS - what a shame!
|
Right now I am hardly trying to write my review on my Logitech laser keyboard...it's a shame. Majority of customers hope the problem reside on the software side. "Let's be patient, let's hope that Logitech is gonna develop new software and everything is gonna be ok..." No it is not. The whole thing is faulty. The little USB receiver is not powerful enough. I have replaced it with a cheap Chinese USB from eBay which makes it at least 10 times better. I have contacted Logitech to let them know but they already know this. The answer was..."We can send you a wired adaptor to get the USB device closer to you mouse/keyboard" :) I do not need it. I already have one. It's at 5 cm away and still doesn't work. What a shame....Logitech...is this the beginning of the end?

The biggest waste of [$$$] ever
|
Want to know about a players life in the NFL? I'm talking about the real lowdown, all the dirt, the stuff you don't see on TV. So do I. Unfortunately, it's not in this book. This book would be just as interesting if all the pages were blank. It doesn't really tell you anything, not to mention it reads like a junior high book report. You'll get so bored of it, you probably won't finish. I left a few chapters unread, only after I forced myself to keep reading for a month (yeah, it took that long because this book is real easy to put down). It just ... . It doesn't draw you in...ever. Maybe if this was written by Emmitt, or someone who has actually accomplished something, it would be a little better. At least you could read about some great moments and carry something away from it. This was written by a guy who was basically the waterboy. It's a dud from start to.....well, whenever you quit. Enjoy.

You'll only ever need this machine.

My mother had a sumeet, as did her mother. The blenders have done my family good for many years, and all the sumeets in my family are still currently in use, all these years later. I just bought my first one in Jackson Heights (in Queens, NY) for $150. Best money I've ever spent. The Asia Grinding Jar reduced my cocoanut to a fine powder that was like the freshly fallen snow. The Spice Grinder Jar took my toasted coriander seeds to an ultra fine powder. The tall, traditional jar made quick work of a whole lot of ice, and brought forth a cool, slushy beverage. It's worth ever penny.UPDATE: The grinder died on me in 3 months. I sent it in to get repaired. Don't do this. I haven't heard from them since.

Wake the Dead
|
This vacuum cleans very well. The brush roll works well, it does a faily decent job cleaning up messes. The problem is that it is really loud. I try not to use it because it is so loud, you ever want to wake someone up, turn on this hand vac. It also is not very efficient. It does not manuever very easilly on stairs and does not get dirt along the edges. If you want to save time on steps use a canister with the upholstery nozzle it is more thorough, quieter and faster. The dirt devil also does not manuever well on shag carpeted stairs it basically takes 2 hands one to push, one to hold down on the carpet so it cleans. It also does not work well on cars due to all the indentations of the seats. Recommendation don't waste money on this just get a canister vacuum, it does stairs, cars and the powernozzle cleans very well under beds and furniture. They are quieter than uprights.

Trite

Fr. Mitch Pacwa calls books like this "bubble gum for the brain." It was very simply written. It's purely Protestant. There's a very subtle anti-Catholic undertone. We're repeatedly told about the wrongs of "the church." The big heros being the Puritans. When did that happen? The Puritans fled England were it was "join the official Church of England or die." They landed here and treated all non-Puritans with the same contempt. Their idea of religious freedom was freedom for Puritans alone. Their idea of truth was Puritan truth alone. The author falls into the same trap many others have. That "real" witches were burned at the stake. Not so. The Puritans burned many of their own. But by and large non-Puritan Christians were seen as witches and heretics. Such as the Quakers who were often branded, literally, as witches.

yeap, borring as hell I am not making this up also.
|
I learn from my experience if only a handful of people rated 5 stars don't believe it. I only read 15% of this book, and it is really really borring. I didn't laugh one bit. This book say if I am not laughing than I don't have humor. That's a lame excuse for a boring book. If this is really 5 stars, I can write a 10 stars book for people to laugh at intelligent and witty jokes, not stupid unlaughable joke like this book. But, Amazon is way cool, 5 stars bookstore. I have bought quite a few books (> 50) at Amazon, and I will continue to buy it. Recommend: I did laugh with for better or for worst by Lynn Johnston. Clean and witty whole some family jokes. Judy Carter is also very funny. These two ladies are way cool !

AMAZING
|
What can I say? This cd spoke to me in so many ways. So touching and so deep! I don't agree with some of the things Christina does-but hey, it's her life! In that way, she is such an inspiration to me. Unlike her rival, she is real!!!- and her music is a beautiful example of this. Her amazing voice just echoes in my head after listening to this cd. It helped me through a very bad time- and in dealing with extreme depression. Her cd was a very comforting friend at this time. Definitely buy this- Oh, and lest I forget, this cd rocks!!!!

Dont believe anything you read in this book.
|
It really is a mystery to me how some people, Kevin Trudeau as a prime example, can get away with printing such flagrant untruth and make any money at all. This book has to be the largest collection of unsubstantiated drivel that I have seen in a long time. I could barely bring myself to read the entire thing, but I did it to satisfy my 14 year old who is just learning that not everything you read is true. I would go so far as to say that there is not even a "grain" of truth in this book. Complete and utter propaganda. Pure anecdote. Nonscientific. Bull-loney. Dangerous. Wouldn't even be good to wipe with if you run out of teepee on a camping trip. Kevin...shame on you.

Worst phone I had so far
|
it's the worst cell phone I had to date.1 this phone has 1 to 2 second delay when buttons are pressed.2 because of slow button key I kept doing and unding key lock/unlock several times to actually call anyone.3. battery life is only about 48hrs (standby) and defintly not 200 some minutes as what this phone's spec says.4. phonebook is pretty messedup. phone book name displys only first half of first line, although it allows you to enter two lines.5. on/off button some times takes second try.6. it's not straight forward to save work/home/mobile... under one name.7. phone charger connection is so flimsy that in certain position it won't charge. design is pretty messed up.8. 1/8" of color lcd screen is already dying only after 5 month of useage.9. signal is very poor. I'm sure this lot more to do with Tmobile.Basically slow and unintuitive phone.Bright side of all this is that Tmobile contact is only for one year.

Great Song!3.'Have A Cigar'- A Cool Up-Beat Song. Cool Vocals, and Keyboard FX. A Cool Mild-Speed Paced Song. Another Great Song!4.'Wish You Were Here'- A Nice and Calm Song. Performed Outstandingly! A Great Sub-End Song.5.'Shine On You Crazy Diamond (6-10)'- A Terrific Ending! Same As Shine On pts. 1-5.....Begins Calm, and builds up a little, but remains calm. A Very Cool Ending To The Album!IF YOU DO NOT OWN THIS ALBUM, ESPECAILY IF YOU ARE A PINK FLOYD FAN, GET IT AS SOON A POSSIBLE! YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT AT ALL!

Ok, let's get started. In my opinion this DVD has far more negatives for me than the positives. The movie entertained me(still has after a million times) but let's face it, when i bought this i thought this was going to be better than the Ultimate Edition DVD. Hence the name Extreme Ed. Boy was I wrong. This was one of my least favourite DVD purchases. Don't get me wrong, the movie is great and its iconic but the DVD, just isn't up to par with me. I will love the audio commentary though. I love commentary btw. That's one of the reason's I buy DVD's. I didn't even know the Extreme Ed. had commentary...

The best of thier albums thus far.
|
Don't listen to those who have given reviews saying "Slipknot sucks, they aren't metal, yadda yadda, listen to real metal, yadda yadda." Slipknot is still a developing band and they are not your conventional metal. They are different, so don't say that something sucks because you don't know what you just heard. To me a good band is a band that can produce something you have never heard before, something unconventional and that is what Slipknot is. If you ever hear their actual first album Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat. you really see what they came from and it has changed significantly. This hard and angry music. Enjoy it...

Inconsistent, illogical, but hey, fruits and veggies!
|
Here we go, some more Christian marketing gone gaga. The author supplies readers with a low-carb diet--for those who do well on these fine. She at least lets you eat lots of fruit, provides salad and veggies. Don't eat it, she says, if you can't pull it out of the ground, pluck it from a tree or vine, or kill it. No alcohol cause it's fermented. No bread cause its processed.Well, what tree provides cheddar cheese? What pig comes ready-set with cured bacon? What is natural about those additives in processed meat? Hey, what vine gives Jello? Bacon, jello and cheese--which figure in the book's menus--are all processed food. Ain't cheese fermented??? See the inconsistency....

Perfect Dark
|
Today I got Perfect Dark, I thought this game would be a good game but not better than Goldeneye. It is. I have played almost every first-person shooter ever. This is hands down the best. If you buy the game, buy a expansion pak also because you can only play roughly 1/3 of the game without one. The first thing I thought when I heard the weapons were going to be spaceage was "Another game with those dumb blow-every-thing-up- in-one-shot guns". Yet again PD suprised me. The guns are awesome, Especially the complex reloading secquines,Watch the the dy357 magnum (it is a revolver)reload......awesome. I hope that you enjoy the game as much as I do. P.S. GOLDENEYE STILL ROCKS!

The Changes are Awesome!! An album not to be missed
|
This album is a definite change in the sound that made Linkin Park one of my favorite bans. But don't take the change as a negative! Yes, as a whole, their are more soft and ballad like titles, but thats cool though. Leave Out All the Rest demonstrates how much a band can change. Rick Rubin did a good job of helping Linkin Park to develope such an awesome sound. Although tracks like Bleed it Out and No More Sorrow are what most fans were expecting, the other tracks have strong messages that are uplifting, which is what i like about bands Linkin Park. I pop this album in, turn to Shadow of the Day, and i feel like things will be cool no matter what. I like the change and i hope that Linkin Park continues to develop new sounds. If you can't except the new sound, you aren't a real fan. PERIOD!!!

How blue can YOU get?

Like the other review said, this might be too much for some but if you managed to find this page than you must be a fan of BB King.I picked this box set up a few years ago but didn't listen to it too much at first. But I figured it would probably be out of print eventually and I would regret not picking it up. Just last week I listened to the entire thing, and now I can't stop playing it. The discs are divided really well. You get one disc of the more popular stuff, one of the early Memphis recordings, etc. It's incredible how consistant the entire box is. BB's guitar playing is great throughout and his singing is superb. The bands are always very tight. Great arrangements that will keep your foot patting the entire time.So go ahead and indulge yourself. There are other single CD collections from this era. But I garuntee you once you dig in you're gonna want more. You deserve it so get the whole thing and turn it up!

A great sequal to The Lost Slayer.
|
In the exciting next chapter to The Lost Slayer, Buffy finds herself thrown 5 years into the furture, and she's in a jail run by vampires. As a matter of fact, most of the area aroud Sunnydale is overrun bu vampires. This is an alternative universe that Buffy is in. She has one mission, to get back to her own reality. I can't say to much about this book b/c i dont' want to ruin anything. Just trust me, if you've read the first books, then you need to read the second.What I liked about the alternative universe that Buffy is in, is that it has the char from Buffy's reality, but they just aren't the same. That's all I'm going to say, I can't give out to much. The end was incredible!! I can't wait for pt. 3.I highly suggest this series. If yer a fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, then I *highly* suggest you get started on the first book, you won't be sorry.

If you loved this book, DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE!!
|
This movie was awful. It takes a magical book and turns it into a mockery. **Book Spoiler Alert** Arthur doesn't even find out he was with Morgaine at Beltane until the end?! Morgaine is thrilled to see her mother?? Morgause put Mordred out to die in the snow but stopped when Morgaine told her that the baby was Arthur's in her fevered sleep?? Julianna Margulies was cast well although her accent was wretched. Gwenhwyfar was cast way too old and the actress was somewhat haggard. Pretty, but not the extremely frail character she was supposed to be. This movie was a mockery and I am ashamed of the author for allowing this to happen. I guess money is what is most important to some people. If I could have given it no stars, I would have.Ugh. I am offended.

Looked up the word float; not there. Plane, not there. Crane, not there. Spear, not there. Comprise, not there. Sly, not there. Prominent, not there.

Very Impressive Monica!
|
WOW! What a great book and I have only a special friend to thank for recommending it to me. I'm not much of a reader, but I couldn't stop reading. It was really hard putting the book down as I always wanted to know what would happen next. The story was so good. Such a tear-jerker. So real. I enjoyed it so much that insignificant grammer/writing details outlined below weren't even noticed. (Like, who cares.) This is a story that everyone can relate to in some way. I loved it. Monica Carter has real talent and I can't wait for her next book.

Disappointed After Using for Several Years
|
I've used this waffle iron almost every Sunday for over two years. I would NOT buy it again.Here's the problems:1. Super-Loud Buzzer that goes off constantly. We called Cuisinart, they said it is NOT possible to turn it off.2. Heat-adjustment knob broke very quickly. We now use pliers to adjust.3. Not very well made. Besides the knob, I dropped it and plastic broke off in two parts.Here's the pluses:1. Cooks six waffle-sections at a time.2. Cooks good waffles.I still worry about non-stick cooking surface (shown toxic at high heat levels), but I suppose the waffle iron is okay because heat doesn't get too high. But you just can't buy a non non-stick waffle iron anymore...

Delightful escape for fans of the Avengers
|
This episode has one of the few scenes of Mrs. Peel and Steed embracing- to foil the villains of course. Criminals are absconding with millions to England! Emma and Steed begin tracing a route that involves carrying a stuffed animal. Emma repairs one for him and Steed says admiringly I didn't know you could sew. After all, she says crisply, our relationship hasn't been exactly...domestic, has it The viewer can ponder that remark! One of the villains that raves Emma deserves appre-ciation. I appreciate your- appreciation, she says dryly. Steed's attempted rescue. Can't you give me any more than that, asks a harassed colleagaue. I was blindfolded, he says defensively. One of the clues to the villains hideaway is a turkey farm. Witty, satirical and clever. One of the best of the color episodes.

Widescreen vs. Full Screen
|
After attempting to physically hold a copy of "Soldier Blue" in my hand to see what picture format it's in, I gave up trying to find a copy in three "box stores" local to my area. I was told by one store (after waiting three weeks for it to show up) that their distributor had run out of copies and it would be another 3 to 5 weeks before they could order anymore copies. So, I took a chance and ordered this DVD from Amazon. I ordered it Thursday and it came today. Here is what I found listed on the back of the DVD under "Special Features".. English and Spanish Subtitles. Closed Captioned. Scene Selection. Digitally Mastered. Dolby Monaural Audioand the final word on picture format: . 16 X 9 Widescreen!"Widescreen" is also shown on the front of the DVD at the very top.Thank you Lion's Gate and thank you Amazon!Oh, yeah. Did I mention this DVD is shown in the Widescreen format rather than the Full Screen format? Well, it is!HJJ

Awful, do not buy
|
Really wish I paid more attention to the negative reviews. I bought three blankets in purple. These smell really awful. I expected that from the reviews, but had read that the smell was gone after washing. So I washed one according to the instructions. This stained in inside of my washing machine, and huge clumps of wool came off. Now the stupid thing still smells terrible. They are also only 70% wool, which is not stated in description. The blankets are coarse. I am returning the remaining two, and will probably throw away the one I washed. Wish I could give this no stars.

They DIED!
|
I bought 3 of these to take to Italy and use for printer, cellphone chargers, and PCs. I had read up on transformers and what devices they should be used for. (suggested for PC, small electronic chargers like cellphones, printers, etc.) I was reassured by the manufacturer info that neither the PC nor the MAC really needed the converter, but I decided to be extra cautious. I bought an Italian surge protector (5 openings) and plugged all three of them in. The ones with my printer and MAC were in use most of the time, the third, not much at all. After 5 weeks, the one my MAC was using died. So I plugged the MAC into another. Then IT died too within 24 hours. Now I only have one left--and 10 more months in Italy. Disappointing!

Amy, On Her Own
|
This book is very unrealistic. I did not like it at all. It was a horrible way to end a fairly good series. The main character, Amy, is faced with yet another life shattering problem. The loss of the extraordinary genetic ablilities that she was blessed with. She and her genetic mate (Andy) must find out why this is happening. When everything turns out to be fine, all of the Project Crescent clone are happy. That is, except Amy. She feels like she has turned into a new person. She decides to get her powers back. The procedure that allows her to do so also enhances other qualities that she did not have before. She turns into a super-hero (she can fly and everything). None of the other clones get the procedure, making her the only clone let with super ablilties.

F WORD
|
Swarm literally kills me. not literarily, literally. I'm passionate about feats of intelligence and poetry and this is up there. I've read all of her books, my opinion shifts, but swarm is in the top tier (so crass that there should be tiers but passions have opinions). so different from the forms of her other works, this seems a distillation, a bare minimum necessary to float a story. These poems are like nets, split here an there but nonetheless ambitiously gathering-in the blank space of the page. you could throw this gauntlet down next to a heidegger or a deleuze and it would make a pretty confidant. WHEW. My only complaint is that every copy i've gotten ahold of (floppy copies all) came unbound, possibly this recommends the work? unbindable? pardon the chuckles. READ IT.

One More Comment
|
I have already rated and reviewed this album...........the best one of 2003!! But I have one more comment to make to the person that said great singers are only those who write their own music and lyrics. Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Elvis Presley............shall I go on?! They didn't write hardly any of their music. They had people write for them. Why? Because they were the greatest interpators of a song and song writers lined up to have them sing their songs. Clay is the next one in line!! And whose to say he may not write some of his songs in the future?! Some of you people need to understand what music is all about. Just like a book or a movie its all about what we enjoy on an individual basis. If its not your taste in music you don't need to write a scathing review, just say its not your cup of tea and keep your biased opinions to yourself.

Jan Karon, not Gail Godwin, fans will like this one!
|
As a fan of Gail Godwin, I couldn't wait to delve once again into the world of human relationships, spirituality, and the complexities that develop between the two. I was so very disappointed. I made myself read it, hoping upon hope that the "real" Gail Godwin would come through. It did not happen; I gave up before the end. There is simply no depth there. The characters are very thin. You begin to dislike Margaret, because she can love someone so unappealing in personality as Adrian. No child as disturbed as Chase can suddenly become so engaging. The plot twists are too easy to foretell. If you are a Jan Karon fan, you won't be disappointed--romance, church happenings, orphans, and the expected return of a long lost parent in a small North Carolina mountain town. Sound too familiar? This one will not give you much for thought.

Vintage, simple classic rock
|
This is a great debut album by Bad Company. It is a prime example of laid back and yet guitar-driven classic rock of the 1970s. Songs like "Can't Get Enough", "Rock Steady", and "Bad Company" are all classic rockers. "Ready For Love" is a sultry, slow anthem. "Movin' On" was another rock radio hit worthy of mention. These five songs are all ones I remember hearing on rock radio, and all are great. The pretty harmonies of "Don't Let Me Down" and the laid back, accoustic nature of the closing track "Seagull" are also very enjoyable.I love the Paul Rodgers-led Bad Company years. Surely this first album still is still a classic after all these years. Soulful singing with blues-based guitar riffs is my simple explanation of how this album sounds. Nothing overblown, complicated, or real heavy here. Just great '70s classic rock.

This book is a total crock. Let me explain why.
|
This book is a total crock, my reasoning being (1.) I am sick and tired of the author of books like these being non-religious and forced into believeing there is a God and there is a message in the Bible. (2.) In the book, words kept on suddenly popping up after something didn't come true, or wasn't different. (3.) The guy is a reporter supposedly. He is constantly flying out to the Middle East and finding messages in the Bible, so when is he ever reporting? (maybe he works for one of those tabloids...?). This is like the old 'When is Jesse Jackson ever at a church?' question. I gave this book 1 star, only because I can't go lower. Don't waste your money on it.

Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!

I tried many golf instruction books and DVDs, but this will be the only and ultimate one you need. This covers everything from basics to pro-level tips. 5 x doube sided DVD with this lowest price ... incredible! But, forget about the price because I'd like you to focus more on the QUALITY of the instructions. Wally Armstrong's unique and sometimes even queer instructions are based on firm logic. Ultimately, golf, a ball hitting game, is a matter of physics. He knows this point very well. But, more importantly, no other instructor can make your golf learning more enjoyable. This is just like a novel which might change your entire life. Wally is the most unforgettable teacher in my life. He taught me more than just a golfing through his teachng spirit and phylosophy.

WARNING!!! Many 5 star ratings are NOT for this edition.
|
For 20 years this has been my family's favorite Christmas movie. We watched it every year on our trusty VHS tape. This year I was excited to see the 20th anniversary edition. My kids are now grown and we got everyone together to watch the new edition.We were stunned when the song between Scrooge and Belle was cut from the movie. This 4 minute song demonstrates to the viewer why Scrooge was so bitter about Christmas. Why cut it now? It's 4 minutes! Without the song, the reprise at the end of the movie makes no sense.Also, Disney remastered the movie and completely lost the cold grey London feel of the movie. All the color chromo is turned to full bright and it looks like it's summertime on a cheap plastic movie set. Someone with a creative eye should re-remaster this embarrassing mess.Finally, Amazon should pull the star ratings on the previous edition. It is very misleading.

This is an awesome soundtrack
|
I just finished watching School Daze on DVD this weekend, and I've been humming one of my favorite songs since. "We've only said goodbye." I enjoy all the songs on the soundtrack, but this song is my absolute favorite. I have this soundtrack on Vinyl, but not having a turn table I'm not able to listen to it. Well knowing I can finally buy this soundtrack on CD will change all of that. This was when soundtracks were well put together, and the songs were from the movie. I used to play my vinyl copy all the time.My favorite songs on the soundtrack are the following:2. Perfect Match - this is such a sexy song3. Be alone tonight - Tish sings the heck out of this song!!!4. Straight and Nappy9. Be One - by the late Phyllis Hyman11. We've Already Said Goodbye(Before we said hello)This is a must have for your CD collection.

Great Album :-D
|
Words can't even begin to describe this album. I've listened to Blink 182 for so long now. All their albums are great. I believe every artist and band have different facets to them. Its just human. Its up to the fans to like it or not. No one is really forcing you to listen to it. Blink 182 has songs that no other Punk bands can even touch. Their music is just truly amazing. Theres no substitution. Nothing else can come close.But just to say if you truly are a Blink 182 fan, you'll love this album. It shows a more serious side to Blink 182 so... More hearfelt songs.Listening to Blink 182 for so long, has helped through alot of things. I truly thank them.I just have to say it again, if you are a true Blink fan, get this album... every track is great. Especially "Feeling This" "Violence" "Stockholm Syndrome" and also "I'm Lost Without You"

M-D Building Products 7039 Seal-O-Matic Door Sweep, 36 Inches, Aluminum
|
I concur with the other neg. reviews. The product as delivered contains 3 spring-loaded cantilever arms that are supposed to force the lower weatherstripped bar downward against the threshold. That might work as designed on a full 36" door. Mine was 32", and when trimmed to length, the third arm was deleted. Thus, a length of the movable weatherstripped arm is left without any direct action to push it downward against the threshold. In addition, the actuating end with the nylon button didn't always move downward. This prevents the door from closing. BTW, it's also flimsy. The idea here is a product that should work automatically without issues. Skip this one and save your money. Right idea, wrong execution.

Reel Horror should be Reel Horrible!
|
Horrible acting, horrible editting, horrible costumes, horrible effects, etc, etc, I could go on and on. I seen homes decorated at Halloween better than the decorated studios in this low, low budget flick. Could not understand what some people were saying because of the overly used echo they had on some of the voices. And the props? Someone dressed up a monster eating a plastic,,,hmmmmmm,,doggie toy. I am suprised it did not squeak as he put it in his mouth. The editor should be ashamed for himself. You can see the quality from film to video tape with a few jump cuts in between. Don't waste your time watching this or spend any money on it. Not even worth the $1 store price! The only reason it got a one star rating is because CDNow won't let me go any lower than that!

Easy to use, easy to read
|
Kitchen timers don't need to do anything fancy. They should be able to count up, count down, beep when the timer is done. They should be durable, easy to read, easy to use, and stable. Lastly, they should be nice enough looking that you won't want to keep them hidden in the drawer. This timer is all of those things. I use it mainly as an espresso shot timer, and it works rather well for that. I start the timer before the shot, then adjust the target time accordingly (e.g. adding 5 seconds). Instead of timing down to a beep, I use the stopwatch feature. It's got a magnetic back, so it can attach to the side of my machine when not in use, but also has a fold-out kickstand so it can stand up. The angle when using the kickstand makes it easy to read.

I haven't seen this movie, but I do own the 1986 Complete Mini-series and from what I see in the reviews I don't want to get this film. First of all Shaka was not captured by slavers. I don't know why this film depicts that. Is it because he was a majestic and dignified king and since the 1986 version showed that they had to put some stereo-typical depiction of Shaka being captured and defeated by the whites slavers? This sounds like a bunch of b.s. and I'm upset that they are showing this crap to students in high school. That is not what happened. If they want to show something for black history why don't they show the original 1986 version of the film. Even that had some false depictions in it too, but at least they had Henry Cele act like a king. It was his performance that made the movie believable and it brought backbone to the story line. Why he would reprise his role like this I don't know. But get the 1986 one please. It is way better.

"Bleh" sums it up
|
I read the other negative reviews before starting this book and found that many bemoaned the "romance-novel" bent of this particular book by Stabenow. Well, I love mysteries and enjoy a good romance, so I thought this book would be perfect. WRONG! A good romance novelist knows that what is left to the reader's imagination creates the truly juicy moments. Not Stabenow. She jumps right in with a woman "grabbing his c--k." She succeeds in wringing out any romance and leaving only the paltry, crass coupling of an affair. In addition to this scene (which is truly difficult to get over), Liam is hardly a likable character. A married man cheating on his wife who is in a coma is hardly a sympathetic character. To be fair, as the novel progresses, details come to light that make him more likable. However, I never bought in and spent the book trying just to finish it instead of enjoying it. Stick to Stabenow's other series.

Waiting
|
As many of the other LOTR fans out there I will not be buying the Theatrical release. I will wait as long as I have to, to buy the Extended versions.I've seen people ask why not just buy both? Well first off, I don't have 70 dollars to completely waste on something that I really won't use. I could use that for so many other things. Second, it really is the principle behind it! They charge 70 for the first and say 120 for the Extended. Most true fans, if they bought the first, will buy the second! So basically they're charging us 190 for these DVD's. It's nothing but corporate greed. That's all this is. I'm not gonna fall into the trap

a sad attempt to dethrone the backstreet boys...
|
this is the saddest attempt at an album I have ever heard. Why I wasted my 14 dollars I am not entirely sure but No Strings Attached will not be likely to be nominated for album of the year believe me. the songs are too didgitalized. In almost every song there is a distinct digital tinge to their voices. I enjoy hearing people not computers singing. the ballads are too syrupy. much props to Richard Marx though who wrote the only song on this album that really made sense. Thank you for that. Also, again, the two guys with the most nasel voices sing nearly the entire album. If that bothers anyone else please tell me. Anyways you guys are really cute but sweeties looks aren't everything. I warn everyone who is looking to buy this and you just really got into nsync like I did, borrow it from a friend first before you decide. Because i made a mistake. Ooops.

SCAM!
|
This used to be a somewhat reputable magazine, the type you would see in you pediatrician's office. They were then acquired by the Meredith Corporation. Just type "parents magazine scam" into a search engine and see all the reports. I received this magazine in the mail without ordering it, and assumed it was one of those free ad-filled things you get sometimes. Then I started receiving invoices by email. I tried simply telling them I never ordered anything and to please cancel. Little did I know this is their marketing ploy and not a simple mistake. They will continually bill you for things you never ordered, trying to get your credit card #. I have read the stories of people who did pay these invoices, and were then charged for all kinds of things (other magazines, books, etc). Stay far away from these people!!!

Flaky behavior, crashes frequently
|
I've been struggling with this for months now. What a flaky and unreliable piece of junk. I have two WD MyBook USB 2.0 drives on it, formatted EXT3. It only works within a few minutes of power cycling. After a while, the web page can't get the drive information, and my configuration settings are lost. Any computer in the house (PC, Mac, Linux) has hit or miss luck in navigating to the device and into any directories there. Sometimes it will list a directory, but clicking on any file there does nothing. Sometimes the file even disappears from the listing. After power cycling, all is well. 15 minutes later, in the weeds. Someone suggested I change the battery. Can't hurt since it's already past the warranty.

Short Life Span

I have 27 32SA sprinkler heads. Two years ago I repalced 25 of them. Last year I had to replace 22 of the 27. This year another 23 have stopped rotating. There is something wrong with the 32SA series. Maybe Rainbird wants people to replace them over and over again.It is not my sprinkler system. I have a super fine system mesh filter so it is not debris. Not only was system off for winter, but I live in FL and it did not freeze here last year. My 12 42SA's have been running for over 5 years without a problem. The same goes for my 43 1800 spray heads. In 7 years, the only 1800 I had to replace was 1 that failed to retract and the lawn mover killed it.So...1800's good reliability42SA's good reliability32SA's piece of garbage. I have light bulbs that last longer. Stay away from the 32SA series.

Ghostface is Back With a Vengeance!!!
|
Eleven years ago, I had thought we'd seen the last of Ghostface. I was 10 years old when Scream 3 came out, and now that I'm 21, I'm glad to see that Ghostface has returned for a new generation. This sequel is just as bloody, epic, and awesome as the previous Scream movies. On the Anniversary that Billy Loomis and Stu Macher had the original killing spree, Sidney Prescott returns to Woodsboro to promote her new self-help book. She reunites with Gale, Dewey, and her cousin, Jill. Soon after, Ghostface shows up and begins killing Jill's friends. Sidney, Jill, and Kirby seek help from two horror geeks named Charlie and Robbie. They discuss the new rules and how to survive. Who is re-writing the rules? Will Sidney survive again? I highly recommend SCREAM 4!!!

Thanks Windham Hill and Public Radio
|
Intellectual...Yes. Innovative...Yes. I am glad I was not driving when I heard clips from this album for the 1st time because I would have surely wrecked my vehicle. I was, and still am, totally blown away. This music is impossible to describe but I certainly hope it signals the direction for the music of the future. This is a broad departure for the folks at Windham Hill Records but I want to thank them for bringing this amazing artist to us. Public Radio said his parents were shocked when their Julliard student added 2 more strings to his violin, hooked it up to a super amplification system and began playing Jimi Hendrix's music on his violin. (He also plays Bach and Gershwin and Hyw 61 Blues.) Every nanosecond of sound and space is flawlessly and purposefully executed. I hope they have recovered and realize what an incredible musician they have given to the world of classical jazz. Absolutely awesome CD.

I really liked it, but I disliked the ending
|
Some may call it sketchy, others may call it "weird". But the idea behind Natalie Babbit's novel is an incredible one. If you are offered the chance to live forever, offered the chance to sacrifice something for something that could change the world. . . would you do it? That's what Winnie Foster is faced with.My mind could see the pictures in the story. . . it was well written with not too much action. There was enough break and natural stopping to keep it from being "Fast Fast Fast Fast, sort of Fast, Fast Fast Fast" as many books are. I suggest you read it, but don't expect it to end happily ever after. It's well written, and I admire Natalie Babbit for her bravery in writing on such a subject.

Feet of Flames
|
This was Michael Flatley's masterpiece. The man was told as a child he was too old to learn Irish step dancing. He fooled them. He had a dream and went on to win the Irish National Dance Championship. The program is well choreographed. The staging is beautiful. The plot is clever and the dancers are very talented. I would recommend this DVD to anyone interested in any kind of percussive dance. Michael Flatley got his start in Video in a film called Riverdance. It also is a lovely DVD as are any of Flatley's dance video's. Yes, I'm a fan. I'm a flamenco dancer myself and enjoyed very much watching Maria Pages in Riverdance do a flamenco number. She has very beautiful arm and upper body movements. She is known as "Maria of the Endless Arms." She is a very accomplished Flamenco dancer.

Had excellent potential
|
This movie wasnt a total failure, but was by no means a success. Whether the phantom was a little better looking than he should of been is not my gripe. My gripe is that he was supposed to have the most amazing voice ever. He's the key person that is supposed to out sing every one in the story. But he's the one that sucks. I mean, I know I can sing so I dont open my mouth. Why oh why did they cast this guy. I read a review about there being 11 other people that have played the phantom. Hell, why didnt they just take those voices or something. I mean, he REALLY doesnt do the role justice. I would of been happier if even Raoul sang the phantom.The movie still did give you some of the feeling you get at the theater in that when that chandelear goes up, you are all psyched! :)

the end of an era
|
Some time back, Teddy Riley lost his artistic touch. Level II reafirms he still hasn't found it yet. Teddy has made the producer's mistake in assuming an album with computer-generated music is with the times. In Level II, the only natual instruments in the whole album is 1 Acoustic guitar and an orchestra. Vocally, this album leaves much to be desired in the realm of the ballads that this particular version of Blackstreet is known for. On top of that, there is another crucial misenterpitation of the times. The profanity and sexual conotation that this album contains is the very same thing that sunk the last Bell Biv DeVoe album. In Wizzy Wow, Teddy boast that he is a legend." In my opinion, he's a fallen legend. The last Guy album that Teddy produced was 10 times better than this. To Teddy: New Jack Swing ain't dead! R.Kelly is duing more for your style than you are, the man who invinted it!

Avoid this product
|
This is the first product I have ever reviewed. I shop a lot on Amazon and rely on reviews and they have always helped me. This product is so bad, that I felt I had to warn others. I purchased it looking for healthy low fat snack. First off, the package says low fat. They may be low fat, but the chip is as greasy as they come. Next, the chip has no snap too it. It is soft and melts. Not something you want in a chip. Worst of all is the taste. The cheese flavor is prominent but nasty. Overall, avoid this product. I should have been tipped off by the price, which is fairly low for a supposedly healthy and gluten free product in this quantity.
