1 | OMG - soooooo bad | Don't waste your money! Seriously, it's so bad. So boring. It got worse and worse. The two dramatic turns could be seen a mile away. At least when I started I had the hope it would get better...once it ended I was left feeling like a shmuck for buying it, let alone reading it. NOT what I expect from Ms Steel. I'm shocked they allowed her to publish it. Did anyone else notice the grammar errors? The repeating of things, word for word? I can't remember the last time I've read a book I hated so much. Maybe never. I normally don't keep reading, but I was so mad to have splurged on it....I ignored the inner screams of despair. DON'T SUFFER THE SAME FATE! I gave one star only because Amazon won't allow ZERO. | 15 | [

2 | my second fuji - I'm hooked | After starting with a 1300 - I lucked out and found this camera on another web site - I got the camera AND the charger at an amazing price. It also came with an extra memory card. I love the size - the upright design takes a little getting used to - but I'm getting there. Photos are clear and crisp, the menu is easy to use and figure out. Options abound, and I just don't think I'll ever buy another brand of digital camera. Fuji gets high marks from me for several reasons. Most importantly - they use readily available smart cards - and they stay with them. I can use all my old accessories from my starter cam - the finepix 1300 - which saves a bundle in the long run. I am glad that the battery is lithium - I have heard that it lasts even longer than previous fuji batteries - and I bought a spare on ebay rather cheaply - as a backup. I've only had it a week and I can't say enough about it. I look forward to using it until it's time to upgrade to my third fuji. | 11 | [

1 | Not what I had hoped for | These socks were a disappointment for me. My feet get cold easily and I've been trying to find some good warm socks. So when I see a sock called "40 Below" I assume they are going to be warm. Here's what's wrong with them:1. The part of the sock that covers your foot is actually not that thick. This is the part that needs to be thick! The leg portion is very thick, but that's why I have thermals and pants. I need coverage for my foot! Needless to say, my feet still get cold when wearing these. I'd rather not need to buy thermal lined boots to keep my feet warm in the winter. I had hoped these socks would do the trick.2. They stretch out immediately and from day one they have been too loose. I have size 12 feet. They are normal sized feet. The socks were supposed to be good for size 9-12 (The large). I find they get bunched up because of the extra material floating around in my shoe and they fall down my calf. | 16 | [

2 | WOW! | This Cd is highly recommended by me! Macy Gray writes all her own songs and all of the songs on this album are great. "Why Didn't You Call Me" has a funky beat and it's one of the best on the album. "Do Something" is another funky song, and it has great background music. "Caligula" is funny and dancy. "I Try" is a really good ballad. "Sexomatic Venus Freak" is weird, but really good. "I Can't Wait To Meetchu" is one of the album's 3 best songs. "Still" is sad and another great ballad. "I've Committed Murder" is interesting and funky once more. "Moment To Myself" is happy, groovy and has a good chorus. "The Letter" is #2, it's a GREAT song. I highly recommend this album to anyone. | 13 | [

1 | Initial disappointment | I purchased this item. Brought it home. Assembled it per included instructions. Filled the solution tank. Filled the water tank. Plugged it in. Turned both switches to the on position. Then....... nothing happened. The red heater light was illuminated but the motor is dead. So now i need to empty both tanks. Disassemble the unit. Repack the contents into the box. And exchange it for another (hopefully this one will work). All of this work just to clean a few darn rugs. Geez!!! | 16 | [

1 | Waste of money | I bought this product and I regreted. It was not working when I took it out of the box. I thought it was a battery out of juice and replaced it. It ran for about two hours and it stopped again. Then I noticed the watch wasn't working at all. The minutes hand "vibrated" everytime the second hand moved. Very cheap material. I can't believe Jeep put its brand in such poor quality watch. Unfortunately, I was not able to return the product. I bought when I was abroad and by the time I came back home, it has passed a whole month. Be aware. Don't waste your money. | 12 | [

1 | Aghghhhhh, this is awful! | This has got to be one of the worst films I've ever seen. The characters are pointless and one-dimensional. The guy is a jerk and inspires no sympathy. They have sudden fights over apparently nothing. In fact, there is no cause-and-effect in this movie at all! Things just happen randomly for no apparent reason. There's no real story. The takes are boring; most scenes hum along endlessly making for quite boring viewing. The violent ending wasn't even believable! Instead of inspiring any kind of shock or sympathy, I was left just thinking "what the...???" Really, really pointless all around. | 11 | [

2 | What Noise? Just great songs! | Why you should bother: Most pop really sets me on edge. I get agitated, irritated and crankier than usual. A listen to Psycho Candy will set things right - I calm down, relax, all becomes well with the world.The songs: These are beautifully crafted pop songs, that are seemingly simple and yet very compelling. They make it look easy, almost, but not quite too easy.The sound: The J&MC have a great and distinctive sound. Real feedback, a sound that has been often imitated but never replicated. I can listen over and over again and get more out of that great sound! It adds complexity to the songs, but won't distract unless you let it.The recording: I saw their first US tour, I think it was '85 or '86. They were great. The sound and production of this CD do them justice.Can you take it?: There may be those who think the J&MC is noise. They probably don't get out much, perhaps even less than I do. So, if you haven't heard or just don't like any punk rock you may not get it. | 12 | [

1 | BAD SINGING!!! | If you like high pitched annoying whiny type voices, you would like this. Her singing? Not off key or anything, but there is no gusto or power to her voice. Listen to the Natalise samples, the other Asian singer, it's a similar type of overly girly, weak voice. If you like voices which are strong and powerful that can catch your attention and touch you, these girls are not for you. No, I'm not racist, I'm also a singer AND I'm Asian. Makes me wonder just HOW these girls get contracts. Being able to write and compose music doesn't automatically make one able to SING. The lyrics are also OVERLY generic in that corny pop song lyrics kind of way. There is no depth to this album in her singing nor her composing this album. Very disappointing, I would love to see an Asian artist that can come out and SING with a HUGE voice. Maybe it's this whole conspiracy in the U.S. to make Asians seem feminine, hence the weak singing voices. | 12 | [

1 | The Klumpinator is NOT Here | You know why he's not here? Because his whole stupid family is here. Sherman Klump (Eddie Murphy) wants to marry Janet Jackson and he has contracted a new formula. The Fountain of Youth. The movie is basically terrible and is about the family trying to be young again. All they do is go to buffets and start fires by farting into some cake candles. How rude. Eddie Murphy plays the whole family as he did in the first movie. Then Sherman used his 'powers' and sailed in a spaceship. This movie was horrible. Why don't they just eat some Tums or drink some Pepto Bismol. For crying out loud! | 12 | [

1 | I have buyer's remorse. | I kept wondering when the story in this movie would start. It never did. A series of events just sort of happened. Travolta's character, Paul Brenner, "develops" through some macho noise. A woman turns up dead. Brenner investigates. Possible suspects behave strangely, implicitly promising that some stunning revelation will be made. When that moment arrives, the conspiracy revealed proves to be unbelievable for lack of any credible motivation. Lack of motivation, in fact, is the common flaw for all of the characters in this waste of time. Pointless moments spent explaining Brenner's past relationship with a co-investigator only temporarily distract from the weak plot. Brenner was also unrealistically flip and insolent for a military man in a military setting. On the positive side, the lighting was good and the uniforms the characters wore were clean. | 12 | [

1 | very bad product. Not usable. | samsung CD-R's are aweful! I thought CD-R technology had been around for so long that it must have matured so that it really didn't matter which manufacturer I bought from. So without thinking I bought Samsung CD-R's. Was I taught a lesson! I never had any trouble with burning before I used Samsung. With these new Samsung CD-R's, sometimes my recording/burning fails in the middle. Sometime the burned CD's become unreadable after a day (stored in normal condition with all my other CD's). Some blank CD-R's make so much noise when I insert them into my driver. After inspection I saw that some of the CD-R's are not flat! And they rub against the top part of my driver when spinning! In three words: DONT BUY IT. | 11 | [

1 | No surprises here | When looking for a good mystery I know I'm not going to get great literature. There are only three things I ask of a mystery. 1)a challenging whodunit, 2)a little escape from everyday life and 3)some wit. I'm afraid that this mystery by Susan Isaacs didn't measure up. In the first place it was way too predictable. I knew who and why before I was a quarter of the way through the book which means the clues were a little heavy handed. In the second place - Was the petty, political vitriol supponsed to be witty? I found it unnecessary to the plot and frankly mean spirited. Third, I can get all the politics I want on the evening news. The characters were detailed but stereotypical and all the husbands were shallow, self centered louts. True, our heroine is spunky, resourceful and cute but this mystery left me feeling irritated and dissatisfied. | 11 | [

2 | tremendous blessing.. | As I was reading this book, I felt as if God was speaking to me, specifically. T.D.Jakes has such a heart for the hurting woman. This book helped me see God's heart for ME! And it did aid in my emotional and spiritual healing and renewal. I have recommended it to other ladies and am hoping to do a group study for women at our new church. I know without a doubt that God did not allow me to survive all that I did, without using it to help others. I thank God that He gave T.D. Jakes the insight to reach those of us who have been hurt so deeply. There is healing balm in Gilead, and it is Jesus Christ. Read this book and share it with another lady who is hurting, too. You both will be blessed beyond imagination. | 11 | [

1 | if 0 was only an optional rating | this cd is absolute crap... if you want to hear slipknot, buy the self-titled because it is the basis for iowa. iowa... what to say? it's a knock-off of the self-titled. the lyrics, don't get me started. the self-titled had some of the most kick ass lyrics i've ever heard (at least until I got into Tool and Deftones and Radiohead and some of those other godsend acts). iowa's lyrics are a bunch of big words crammed into bad context and screamed with a burnt out throat. corey needs to break all his pens, put down the dictionary (i never thought, until this particular case, that a singer should leave the dictionary alone), and just stop. it's not spooky or shocking anymore cuz it sounds like a dumb person with too large a vocabulary for his own good. screw this cd, screw it right in it's stinking hole. the self-titled is where it's at for slipknot. nuff said. | 11 | [

2 | Their best single (I mean only for Monkey Business), no lie! | See, after Don't Phunk short success, here it is B.e.P. with their most catchy single ever Don't Lie.

It is semi-animated and I hate hate that making-progress system. At least I can enjoy. If you don't like too catchy song like this, just wait until their new single "Pump It" come.

1 | Fake Barf=CRAP! | This is the worst product I have ever bought on Amazon. The picture in no way shows what the actual product looks like. The actual fake barf is a light yellowish green with neon pink and green chunks of plastic stuck to it. It's very cheesy and cheap looking. My son loves practical jokes so I thought he would love this. Even he (9 yr old) thought it was crappy. He didn't even realize it was supposed to be vomit until he read the paper it came with. I am extremely disappointed with this fake barf. I wish I could give this product no stars!!!!!!! If you are contemplating buying this DO NOT BUY!!!!! | 11 | [

1 | History?? Trash. | "Slavery, as it operated in the pervasively Christian society which was the old South, was not an adversarial relationship founded upon racial animosity. In fact, it bred on the whole, not contempt, but, over time, mutual respect. This produced a mutual esteem of the sort that always results when men give themselves to a common cause. The credit for this startling reality must go to the Christian faith. . . The unity and companionship that existed between the races in the South prior to the war was the fruit of a common faith."Oh really? "United and companionship".That Robert E. Lee was a great man and general is not in dispute. Suggesting that a whole race of people kept in chains as subhuman, not to mention the next 100+ years of opression after the Civil War, were happy slaves who respected their masters because they shared Christianity is appalling. Simple appalling.There are many great books on Robert E. Lee that deserve reading. This man's trash does not. | 12 | [

1 | Attracts Fleas! | I have a beagle/jack russell dog who while she doesn't have a bad flea problem, still needs some protection. I read the previous reviews on this flea collar and decided to give it a try. Thankfully, it did not have a chemical smell but a rather pleasant aroma. I left it on my dog for a week. When I saw a flea or two, I would press the cut off bit of collar on them in hopes of killing them.

1 | Driftwoodco: seller of e-waste | I bought a used Epson stylus C-88+ color printer from driftwoodco for a project. The project was delayed so I didn't buy the cartridges right away. After a couple of months I needed the printer and when I set it up with ink it did not print. Nothing. Nada. When I emailed driftwoodco, they did not reply to my email. No acknowledgement whatsoever. Outside this printer looked good with original labels on it, but inside it was dirty. My guess is that they did not test it to see if it worked and just sent it to me. Now I am stuck with their re-packaged e-waste and I have to pay to dispose of it after it never printed a single page!!!! Driftwoodco is the worst supplier I have used on Amazon. | 11 | [

2 | Sharp Collection | A couple of years back, a friend of mine gave me a grocery bag full of books. I found an exquisite piece of work beneath the pile - Where a Nickel Costs a Dime. I live down south - way south and life here can be homogenous. With this book, I saw el barrio without leaving mine. I walked up 125th street without moving my feet. I cried, lived and died in Harlem. The collection of images is sharp. I won't compare Willie Perdomo to anyone else. No se puede. (He can't be.)Where a Nickel Costs a Dime - a must. | 11 | [

The book Cry Of The Cat was awesome, but the people who made this movie just screwed it up!There is bad acting in it! The monsters look fake! And they changed the plot! It's about a girl named Allison Rodgers whose an actor in a movie called Cry of The Cat. She runs over a cats head, gets stalked by a cat while making a movie. Let me tell you, it's a movie in a movie. There are better goosebump movies! This one stinks!I'm not kidding, there is bad acting in it, the monsters look fake. Don't buy this movie, but if you wanna watch it, just rent it. | 11 | [

1 | waste of time | Either you write or you don't. There is no book that can tell you how to do it or unleash something that is inside you. I like the idea that anyone can write and I highly suggest everyone do it. But I can surmise the entire book in a few words and save you the religious babble. If you want to write or think you can write, then do it. Eventually you WILL get better, or you will turn to something else. If you think you can write then start writing and prove everyone else wrong. You don't need to spend the money to learn that if you want to write, than the best recourse is to write. No one is fooled into to thinking the first thing they write is good. It takes practice. And this is one of two things this book preaches. The other is religion, mostly Christianity. | 12 | [

1 | Disappointed with FHI Platform | I am really disappointed with the FHI Platform. I had purchased a FHI a fews yearrs ago and was very satisfied with the performance and the results. I dropped it on a ceramic title floor and chipped it. The chip caused the plate to flap and my hair would get caught in the flap. After trying other brands (SEDU, CROC) I returned to the FHI. The first FHI Platform pulled my hair and caused breakage so I exchanged it. I thought maybe I had received a defected model because I did not have this problem with my older model FHI. Amazon happily and quickly sent me a replacement and I had the same problem. Major pulling! I returned it. I'm still looking for a flat iron that worked as good as my first FHI. | 11 | [

1 | Where's the yogurt? | I purchased this product with the idea that I could insert a quart of luke warm milk in its cardboard container straight into the unit along with starter of course. Since I eat a lot of yogurt and prefer organic yogurt, this seemed like a wonderful idea.However, the milk never became yogurt. The bottom curdled some, while the top retained a consistency of thick buttermilk. This was after 48 hours. Thinking it was something wrong with the milk, I tried a different brand. I also tried a different brand of starter. No luck. Frustrated because I could never get the top of the milk to set, I tried milk in small plastic containers which I stacked inside the unit. Again, the bottom container became yogurt - sort of. The top container remained buttermilk. The real issue with this product is that the heat seems to come mainly from the bottom.I can make yogurt easier using my oven. | 11 | [

2 | Blueprint 2 | I think that the original Blueprint was much better than Part 2, but I still do like this one. I mean a double album by Jay-Z (one of the greatest ever) is a great idea. 90% of the songs are really hot and you can just about bump it all the way through. I think that this album can appeal to all groups of rap fans. For the true thugs, there are some tight street songs like "Meet The Parents". Or for the ladies there's "03 Bonnie & Clyde". Almost every hip-hop fan has got to love "A Dream". This song is a true story about a dream Jigga had. Biggie's verse in this song was originally on his classic track "Juicy".I perosnally feel that Disc 2 is much more gangsta (and better) then Disc 1. Also, Jay-Z reveals that MOP has been hired and joins Roc-A-Fella Records in their song "U Don't Know Remix". I believe that this version of the song is better than the original that appeared on The Blueprint. This is an album that will probably get 4-4.5 Mics from The Source, but I still reccomend it. | 12 | [

1 | TWO WORDS: | OVER ENGINEERED. I own SIX (yes, that's VI, S.I.X., 6 units) of 'em. I live in skeeter-central, AKA, the Central Exumas, in the Bahamas. As everyone else here has said, they worked OK at first, but then, PHHHTHTHTHTH. First, they CAME with leaky tank nozzles. Swapped THOSE out. Then, it was the constant, "no propane," or "no battery" error indicators. Once I could FINALLY get one running (and by "running," I don't mean "started for a day," I mean, running, and CONTINUING to run), it would catch a ffffew skeeters, but nothing dramatic. Of the SIX I own, I've never had more than four of 'em running at any one time. Usually two or three.Perhaps it is indicative of the litigious society in which we now live. Great concept, 'cept c'mon, man, how are we s'posed to allow you CONSUMERS to own a device that basically burns propane whilst unattended?? Harumph!Save yer $$. Fergetabout these. | 13 | [

1 | Horror? Wrong Genre. | I rented this movie thinking it was going to be a horror flick. From the description, it doesn't sound too bad. It sounds pretty exciting. The real thing? Kind of a disaster. From the very beginning featuring a rape scene, I began thinking to myself, what am I watching? It definitely didn't get any better from there.It managed to be somewhat entertaining, but at the expense of unnecessary nudity and fake violence. The only reason I kept watching was to see the ending. They tried to salvage it with this big revelation, that really didn't make much sense at all either way. If interested in this movie, just keep in mind - it's not horror. I don't even know what it is, and I'm still asking myself what I just saw. | 11 | [

Although I was dissappointed in Ashes in the wind, and that was the last chance I really got to read anything since going back to work, you are still my favorite Romance Author. Now that I'm off for the summer, I plan on reading all of your books I've missed. I can tell you I'm really excited because I've just finished The Elusive Flame and I loved it! It kept my interest from begining to end! I just can't believe anyone could say anything negative about it. I will be starting Petals on the River After the 4th of July. I'll let you know if I injoyed it as much. I should add that the only thing I didn't like about Ashes in the Wind was the ending. It just ended to quickly. I had to read the last chapter twice and still thought I missed something. Please keep writing, I'll never work full time again! Kathy Browning | 13 | [

2 | Yanni is the best musician today. Hands down. | Yanni is by far the most skilled new age pianist today. He makes his extremely difficult pieces seem simple enough for a intermediate pianist to play. His printed scores don't do him justice. How can anyone be so arrogant to put all that passion and musicianship on a staff? Early in his career his used a lot of keyboard blips and bleeps in his music, and now he's traded all that in for the real instruments, and boy does it sound good. although I still would like for him to stick with his roots a lil bit. His live album, I believe is the best to date. Songs like "One man's dream" exxagerates his soft touch and musicianship, while other tunes like "the rain must fall"brings out his raw talent. To simplify things Mozart's talent meets beethoven's passion. OK well he's not quite all that, but a great musician none the less. GET IT | 11 | [

2 | This is a great album with a wide range of Lenny's styles. | If you don't have this CD or any of his CDs, I recommend picking this one up. It has all his best known songs.

It also has the song American Woman from the Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me soundtrack and from the rerelease of his previous album to this called simply 5.

My favorites besides the previously mentioned somgs are Are You Gonna Go My Way, Fly Away, Rock 'N' Roll Is Dead, It Ain't Over Till It's Over, Mr. Cab Driver, Always On The Run, I Belong To You, and of course Lenny's first hit Let Love Rule.

I generally don't like vulgarity in my art but when it's done right, it's fantastic (see Kingpin). These two cops are more Felix and Oscar than they are Starsky and Hutch. Or Hansen and Hoffs, in this case. The whole movie is a joke, from its' premise, to being a recycled idea to obvious adults posing as teens and the screenwriters know it and keep it as running gags throughout.Channing Tatum. I like Tatum and always have. I know I'm not getting Olivier when I watch his movies but he has a nice, easy-going charm that I find appealing. Hill, on the other hand, I've never cared for. I have yet to see Moneyball so perhaps that will be the film that turns me.It's funny, it's vulgar, it's absurd. | 11 | [

1 | BEWARE OF BOOTLEGS | You know the saying... If it is too good to be true it probably is.I bought my set a year ago on the cheap for 127.98 and recently started playing it. I did not check them to see if they played. Now that I am starting to watch them 1/3 of the disks do not work. That is a lot of bad disks. There can little doubt this is a bootleg. It is the only tv series I have ever received that has had issues, let alone this high of a failure rate.You MUST check all your disks to make sure they play before your 30 day return window expires.My advice is to look at the price and whether it is a new seller. Currently 6 of the lowest price sellers are 'just launched'. That is very suspicious. For more information on this topic search for 'star trek tng dvd scam' on google. There is a good article towards the top that covers this specific problem for star trek dvds. | 11 | [

1 | If you want something that's unreliable | Camera has been nothing but problems. I've owned it about 3 months. It was sent to Canon for about 2-3 weeks over a month ago and it's going back tomorrow. Same problem. The problem is the LCD does not always come on when you turn the camera on. When that happens you can't take a picture (you'll get a blank picture). Problem doesn't happen all the time, very annoying. Canon repaired it once and I'm getting the same problem. They offer no recourse other than to repair again at their service center in the midwest (free shipping this time, big deal!!). Camera is turning out to be an annoying piece of junk that their own service department can't repair. Camera, service, and warranty all very poor. I would highly recommend cameras from any other vendor but this one. | 12 | [

Tough to do when it's a -remote- drive.Then the worst part...I had one of my backup drives go down and this was my second backup. My other backup was a one-touch Seagate. Oops. It gives me errors when I try to copy files off it:"Error. File xxx.xxx was changed since copy operation started. Cannot continue" or some annoying thing like that. A huge hunk of my data is now in limbo with a SECOND backup. Egads.Worse yet, when I plug in the USB, it hangs my computer. The screen goes black and that's it. Hard reboot required. Okay, so you say put the drive in another enclosure and save your data. Wrong! The formatting on this enclosure is different than other enclosures, so you can't even get your data off like that. A buddy of mine had two of these units die on him, too.Result: DO NOT BUY THE NEXSTAR LX. | 16 | [

2 | A game full of fun! | You ask me is this game fun? Oh,yeah! You meet Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. Personally, I think this game is adventerous and dangerous.(you play as Harry himself)who has to sneak past students to complete your task at night. (Hint:when you drink the Polyjuice potion, which transforms you into Crabbes, let students see you at night, that way you can win the housecup.)Save Ron from the Whomping Willow Tree,sneak past the owner of the Magical Menagerie, have a quidditch match, complete the task in the classroom to retrieve the spell book. All of the above is in this game. Make sure you explore Hogwarts grounds. There are secrets hidden everywhere, and ways you can collect Gryffindor housepoints. Are you ready for this magical,adventerous,dangerous game? Are your wands ready? Do you have the Spell Book (Grade 2?) Wait... I know... do you have... the potion vial? This'll come in handy so always fill it up. I guess you'll ready. But don't be scared.... | 18 | [

1 | Got made in China substitute, not Original BabyLiss by CHI as ordered | What a disappointment!!!! Never thought I can get Made in China substitute instead of Original BabyLiss by CHI!!!! Wish Amazon will check the sellers products! No time for return - Christmas is around the corner! Sad. Sad. Very sad. I have checked Curling Irons ratings and ordered this one, but received Ceramic Tools by ConAir? made in China? instead of it. I am not even sure that it is by ConAir, since it is not properly marked as ConAir does. If you are on the market for the rated item - check how it should look (Iron and Box, both) on respective web site - and you will see that WHAT WE RECEIVE IS NOT WHAT WE ORDERED. | 12 | [

2 | The Clown Burst Continues! | Fan of "the Ringmaster"? Then this is a must! While still keeping the low-fi edge of its predecessor the "Terror Wheel" brings a more juvenile and fun spirit to the table, if you can believe that. But also offering a precursor of what was to come on their next joker card. Plus, it made "Dead Body Man" a local Detroit hit. The sound is still ominous but the samples and music are more varied. Making for a short but fun EP. "The Smog" is great fit for a B horror film or just a great idea for one. "I Stuck Her With My Wang" is a head shaking but perfect guilty pleasure. If you've broken down, and hidden "the Ringmaster" or "Riddle Box" behind your collection then there is room for this. Isn't there! | 11 | [

1 | Operational Review | Everything on the unit works well except the digital display. The display lights up but shows no information. With that, there is no way to use the radio, clock, or timer functions. I will be returning this unit for replacement. Installation, mounting, and manual were understandable and straight forward. Mounting template was accurate. Includes manuals and templates in 3 languages. Includes all hardware needed for installation, batteries for the remote, and extension mounts for cabinets with a non-flush cabinet bottom. Does not include RG-6 COAX or RGB cables. Does include FM antenna. Has one 90deg RG-6 adaptor for sharp turns. Unit is silver. | 12 | [

1 | Weak horror novel | This is the second novel I have read by Little. I read University first and thought it to be a good read, a little riduculous at times. But the horror was constant and good. The Town, however, was WEAK and boring. There were a few moments here and there of some good horror. Just when it got "good" it sank back down into a slump of boring reading. Waiting and waiting for another exciting moment. There was a very disturbing fantasy plot and ONE shocking moment, to me anyway, involving Sasha at the end. I just did not see it coming. The Town was just way too ridiculous, Jedushka Mevedushka? That was really the explanation for all of this??!! What a let down. Seemed a little too silly for me to buy, especially for an adult horror novel. There was also hardly any blood or gore. I am, however, not giving up on Little yet. I will give him another try with The Association. | 16 | [

2 | A great movie from the 80's | Mac McKussic (Mel Gibson) is an ex drug-dealer wants to go straight. Maguire (JT. Walsh) is an agent determined to put Mac in jail. He got the chance when he heard about Carlos (Raul Julia) an old friend of Mac, who also a drug-dealer himself, is coming to California...and Mac is the only one who know him. Nick Frescia (Kurt Russell) in the other hand, is the police who is responsible for the case. He is reluctant to pursue Mac since he is Mac's best friend. He believed in Mac but if Mac screw up he might have to put him in jail. Mac is attracted to Jo Ann (Michelle Pfeiffer) an owner of a restaurant and their relationship becomes a little complicated when Nick also trying to get close to Jo Ann.I guess this is one of the best 80's movie I've seen. Mel Gibson and Michelle Pfeiffer's chemistry was awesome. Raul Julia gave one the finest performance. And I never really like Kurt Russell with his action movies...but it's an exception in this one. | 11 | [

Even if something that U orded was inexpencive...We've never heard or experienced that a customer has to pay for a return. We REFUSED the package - DID'T OPEN it! Nobody charges for that!!!

1 | a bore... | this record is all myth, no songs. after having heard about it being "haunting" for so many years, I finally picked it up. I played it over and over again looking for what others see in this album. here's what I heard: the kind of "poetry" that high school juniors write after reading about Sylvia Plath in English. this is mumbled while strumming the simplest guitar possible. the fact that the guy offed himself figures in much of the music's praise. to me, that's irrelevant. there's just no strong songs here. it's been a week since I've heard it and I can't remember a thing about it. this is after dozens of listens. it's utterly forgettable. | 11 | [

2 | Great Exploration Of A Broken Heart | When I started reading this book I found myself completely bogged down in India. Being a Christian this portion of her spiritual journey eluded me. After mentioning my boredom to a few readers I decided to return to the book with an open mind and I truly enjoyed it. Her journey to heal after a difficult divorce touched me. Many would love the opportunity to travel while healing from the brokeness of divorce. Elizabeth Gilbert's writing style is truly wonderful. I enjoyed her spirit while meeting people and making just about everyone her friend. I agreed with her aversion to marriage and questioned marriage. I purchased Committed shortly after completing Eat, Pray, Love since my curiousity about how she made peace with marriage was nagging. I find her to be intellectually stimulating. Gilbert makes profound, but realistic comments throughout the book. | 11 | [

2 | if only there were more stars to give... | This was my introduction to anime. And what a great start. Animation wasn't hard on the eyes like some and the dubbing was good. at first, it could be just some movie about a pop idol. When she decides to become an actress and lands her first roll in a Law & Order: Special Victims Unit-style drama, she is thrown into a world of madness. A fan, angered by her choice to become an actress, begins stalking her and her mental state slowly deteriorates until at the end of the movie, she can't tell what's real or not. It's very well done. When she loses her mind, it's hard for the viewer to tell what's real or not along with her. It even has a awesome chase scene, and the plot twist at the end came out of nowhere - it will surprise anyone. I recommend you stop reading this review and go out right now to buy it. Definately one you'll watch more than once. | 11 | [

1 | I should've read this before I bought Money 05 | I've been a happy user of Money 99 and later Money 04 with absolutely no issues. Well, except that my wife would never enter her receipts. The answer? Money 05 could import it all.Since installing this it has worked ok. The reason I hate is becuase A. It's slow. It appears to be collaborating with Passport too much to back up everything you do. But even worse, on three occassions I've had it go haywire. It added duplicate accounts, merged other accounts, screwed up balances, etc.The way it imports transactions is bad too. The payee names are never there but rather an address. Change it to the name and the next time you synchronize it will show that transaction as a duplicate with the re-downloaded version with no name.Bugs Bugs Bugs. I think I will clean it all up, back up to floppy, uninstall, and reinstall 04.No more money for Microsoft from me.Do not buy this and be very skeptical of Money 06. i should've read the reviews on this before. | 12 | [

2 | Diamond A Stalwart Pleaser | It's easy to pick on Neil Diamond's work. As a culture, we've been conditioned to be sarcastic and "savvy". We expect our art dark and jaded. You could even say it is now more rebellious to embrace Neil Diamond's music than to embrace someone more "dangerous". This, of course, makes Diamond counter-culture, which makes him cool.Each song on this CD is enjoyable. Light? For the most part, yes, but light in a way that reveals the great skills of the singer/songwriter. Catchy, uplifting, or comfortably melancholy, these songs are wonderful examples of why Diamond has been a success for 40 years. Ignore anyone who tells you this is nothing but fluff. Put "Neil Diamond: 12 Greatest Hits, Vol. 2" in your CD player and ENJOY it. It's okay. It really is. | 13 | [

1 | RAW IS NOT IT | i bought this book about a year ago because it was hailed as "the bible of raw food." i beg to differ. this book is basically a picture book with recipes that not only take days to prepare, but they don't taste good, nor is raw the way to go. raw attracts many people who have a history of high meat consumption (yang). they go raw (yin)to seek balance. every culture since the beginning of time has used fire, salt, time and pressure to prepare their foods. this is a main raw fallacy. as someone who was raised macrobiotically, and continues to maintain macrobiotic, I know that raw diets are not lifetime diets. raw is just the newest "trendy diet." plus, the author's tone is derogatory. anyone skilled in facial diagnosis can see that the excess use of raw foods has femenized the author's appearance, resulting in an overly yin look. | 11 | [

2 | Very good | The premise for the story is that a man is in a major car accident and wakes up in a sanitarium without any memory of who he is or his past. Throughout the game, the character learns more about his past. The plot is very engrossing. The levels are bizarre and creepy. There are some very disturbing and gross parts, but they aren't inappropriate to the game or story.The puzzles are easy. I only had to look at the walkthrough once, and that is rare for me. As the other reviewer mentioned, make sure you are standing very close to an object before interacting with it, or the character will refuse to do it.I did run into two bugs that produced unwinnable conditions. Luckily I made multiple saves, and reverted to a previous save.I guess something that really struck me was the melancholy feeling in Chapter 4. It's been a long time since I cried so much over a movie! I don't know if I've ever cried that much over a video game. It was a very powerful and moving emotional theme. | 11 | [

1 | This Company's products are really not good quality | I have had like 3 of these things. They all break. One did last 5 years, but lat one I had lasted 6 months. I called customer service and got nothing but a hard time. I had to yell to get a supervisor to finally get a return. This women said since I was not using the same outlet in which I had originally had the problem , that she couldn't help me. My blood boiled. But, I eventually did get an RMA. Made in China Poor Quality. This company has a virtual monopoly. I am going to look for another brand. | 11 | [

2 | A Must Read | This was one of the best books I've read in a long time. I read it in one day! I was on the edge of my seat...rooting for Rachel to win Dex's heart. This is ironic because I had an ex-friend/roomate do the exact thing to me. She stole the man who I thought, at the time, was the love of my life. I wanted Rachel to win Dex because she reminded me a lot of myself and I just didn't like Darcy's superficial, flamboyant nature. I appeared to me that Darcy thought she was perfect and she learned that she wasn't. I am one to root for the underdog and I am happy that the book ended the way it did. I felt all the emotions that both Rachel and Darcy were feeling...vividly. This was a very well written book that both males and females can relate to and empathize with. Most of us have been in at least one of the characters' position at least once in our lives. | 11 | [

2 | Great lens | I've had this lens for 2 months now, and love it. It was my first "L" lens and I can see the quality difference in this line. First, I tried the 28-135 IS-pretty good. But I wasn't totally happy, so returned it and ordered the 24-105 L. Now I'm happy. Contrast, sharpness, & CA are much better. Build quality & feel are superior as well. Plus the IS really works. I will try & get all IS lens in the future, I believe it is worth the extra cost. Focusing is very quick and zoom action is smooth & steady. If you're on a budget, the 28-135 is real nice. But to go all the way, I recommend this lens. The IS on the 24-105 L is quieter I found. The price is a bit steep, but optical quality is there, resale value will remain good, and weather sealing should hopefully keep dust and junk from getting inside this lens. | 13 | [

1 | What a downer!! | I was so excited to see that Anna Maxted had a new book out, I snatched it off the shelf in a nanosecond. The sleeve will have you believe it's a story about a girl coming to terms with her best friend's marriage. Ummm...maybe for the first 10 pages anyway. It quickly turns into a depressing, confusing, and muddled plot line of a story with a character so unlikable, you'll wish there was a sequel to In the Drink to cheer you up. Even the friendship between Natalie and Babs is hard to understand. It seems like they hate each other. Frannie? Wait, wasn't she Rebecca in the Helen Fielding novels? Don't be fooled by the 400 pages, you'll power through this book in one day and then wonder why you even bothered. Boooooo! Hisssssss! | 11 | [

2 | Lots of fun! | I love incorporating words with math! It makes it fun and interesting. I am not big on math (nor am I very good at it), but when you incorporate language, it makes it fun. I really found this enjoyable! You do neet time, paper, and a darn good eraser, but this was a blast! It has the same kind of stories as the other Wayside books, but it incorporates math problems to go with it. (BOYS + GIRLS = SILLY) And it's your job to figure out number substitutes for the letters. It's a lot of fun to do, and improves math skills and language skills. It's a blast!It's harder than the first one, be warned! But it's also more fun and entertaining. I always used it as like a rainy day project, and I plan to do the same with my daughter. | 11 | [

1 | Extremely disappointed... | I have been planning a "backyard" water park for my sons 5th birthday. We were so excited to find this "bubble blowing sprinkler". However, when we opened up the box and set it up, we were extremely disappointed. Our water pressure is very good so that's not the problem. We hooked the sprinkler up and the water only goes about 3 1/2 feet high. And the bubbles? What bubbles? You get about 1 to 2 inch bubbles that barely make it out of the "machine" and float right down to the grass. They do supply you with 2 small bottles of bubbles, however, each bottle lasts between 5 and 8 minutes. And don't you dare get any water into the bubble reservoir, although since it's a water sprinkler also, this is unavoidable and impossible. Please, don't waste your money. My son and I are both extremely disappointed. | 12 | [

1 | Great Shoes But Sizes Run Small | Got my 1st pair at a swap meet 2 years ago. Loved them! Best pair of shoes i ever owned. Walked 6-7 hours in great comfort, no aches or pain. Ordered 2 pairs immediately when they were available in my size on Amazon/Shoes.com. But I could not even squeeze my feet in new pairs. Realized they run a half a size small. I wear US6, UK4 or Japan 23.5. But Merrell US6 is UK3.5. Shoes.com were good with a hassle-free return and refund. Don't think they would have stretched after wearing them in because they are 1/2 inch shorter in length and 1 inch shorter in width as compared to my 1st pair. Be aware they run about a size small. | 12 | [

1 | Green Vertical Lines | Like others here, I purchased this TV in November 2007. It was a good TV (a bit expensive for the size) until November 2009. I now have a green vertical line on the left side of the screen. It is there no matter which input I'm using. I saw the other reviews here and didn't even want to take it for an estimate being afraid of what I might hear. But, I purchased it with my Visa card and they double manufacturer's warranties. So, I had to take it in.... $1093 for a new LCD panel! What???? I only paid $1200 for it. I would suggest steering clear of this model. I'll personally be steering clear of Sony from now on. So, let's just hope the Visa warranty actually pays out. I need to put a call in to Sony also - maybe if enough people complain they'll put out a recall. | 13 | [

1 | FOREVER | First, I want to say that I read most of the reviews. All the reviewers who said "Forever" was a great book are wrong. Sex is special. It is something that should be saved for marrige. Sure, go ahead, have it before marrige but in the end all you gain is bad memories and regret. Kathy can like Theo and maybe even marry him, but she'll still have that memory of her time with Micheal. I know Kathy is a fictional character, but there are a lot of Kathys in the world. Judy? Are you trying to make millions of girls end up like Kathy? Many of girls are making Kathy their role model. It says in the Bible to not have sex before marrige. Maybe some people would say I'm making too big of a deal of this, but there are thousands of girls affected by this book. I'm not immature or old fashioned. Not every girl in the world can afford to be like Kathy. I am sure many parents do not want a book teaching their girl how to have sex. Judy Blume should be ashamed of herself. | 16 | [

2 | Almost halfway through,amazed by results. | Wow, what varying opinions here. A very interesting comment from some wannabe claiming that the photos are doctored. If they are, fine. I haven't taken any photos of myself, but the results are amazing. Energy through the roof, twenty pound weight loss (10 to go) muscle definition for the first time ever, and time to enjoy my life, wife and kids. Oh yes, and no hunger or mood swings either. Fat pants to the back of the closet, size 34 back to the front.For those of you who don't like the idea of 20 minutes of aerobics,do 30 like I do. All I know is that I sure feel better now doing interval training. Did Bill Phillips publish this book to make more money by selling supplements? Probably. Do I care? Absolutely not! | 12 | [

2 | Fantastic Plastic | Okay, so basically for a year I was looking at toy cameras. At first I wanted a lomographic pink Diana clone. I talked to a friend of mind, who is a big photographer, and I asked him about lomography and holga. He had a holga 120N (without flash). I tried his Holga with a few rolls of film. The pictures were interesting. I was hooked. So I begged my dad to buy me a 120CFN. My dad is not set on toy cameras and film photogaphy. I bought a 120CFN in gold on eBay (came with extras like filters, filter holder, frame/masks). It was well worth it. The color rolls I have done are amazing with flash, especially color flash. Color flash is just plain fun. The pictures are hard to match with a digital camera and photshop. Do buy a Holga and try it out. The first two rolls may not be pretty, but it's fun to take photos with this camera. | 16 | [

1 | Go for Civ III, instead | This game was not made by the creator of Civilization, Sid Meier, and it shows. The AI is shoddy, the interface isn't what it should be, and the game just doesn't feel like Civilization. For me, the worst part is the map generator. It's always putting continent-sized swamps and mountains everywhere, so that half the map is uninhabitable. It just doesn't feel like you're playing on a real world. Plus, you can't use pre-generated maps (at least, not easily).....In addition to all that, the units will drive you crazy. All of the "special units" are only visible to certain otherunits. So if you want to defend against slavers, or spies, or televangelists, etc, you need to have a different anti-special unit for each of them in each of your cities. Ugghhh!Before Civ III came out, I would get this to tide me over until it was released. But now that Civ III is out, don't even bother. Just get Civ III, you'll be much happier, believe me... | 11 | [

2 | Hold on Tight! | Dean Koontz, in my opinion, is a pyschopath. And I mean that in a good way. I have not read a book by him in many many years, and this one had me checking my doors and windows several times to make sure they were locked. Which, according to the book, locked doors and windows were no defense anyway so I was wasting my time. It was a roller coaster ride from beginning to end.I do admire Billy for the decisions he made, even though they may have been different than the ones I made. Would I have gone to the police? Thousands of what-ifs went through my mind as I was reading this book. Since I've never been in a situation like that, I don't know for sure what I would have done. Cried a lot, I'm sure.The only thing that really irritated me was the ending. While it makes sense in some ways, I still felt it was just wrapped up WAY too nicely in the last chapter. Maybe I'm just a cynic. | 11 | [

2 | Great lady army in my garden | I was a little hesitant to purchase these guys, thinking "they will just fly away". I followed all the directions, released them at dusk, even misted them down lightly with water. To my surprise a large number of them were in my garden the next morning. As the week went by, I saw less and less. Couple weeks go by and I start seeing larvae everywhere! Great news for me and my garden! These babys are doing a fine job on my tomatoes! I've seen many different stages of the life cycles of ladybugs in my garden recently. Eggs, larvae, metamorphism stage. So it seems like I have last bugs this season! Don't hesitate to buy this!

2 | One of Culture Club's Best Albums | When Culture Club reunited in the late 80's there was much fanfare in the United States. A tour, a new episode of Behind the Music and talks of a new album. For some reason, the "new album" was never released in the United States. Many times when groups of yester year reunite the magic is gone. Not so with Culture Club. "Don't Mind If I Do," is one of their best albums. Content wise, it is right up there with Kissing to Be Clever. My favorite song on the album is the reggae inspired, "I Want To Be Loved." This is a great song. Other singles from this album include the reggae inspired "Your Kisses Are Charity," and another song named "Cold Shoulder." It's beyond me to guess why this album wasn't released in the states but if you get a chance, check out this album. The videos are great too, they can be found on the greatest hits DVD. | 12 | [

1 | It would be hard to imagine a worse novel than this | Where to begin? The plot is preposterous. But other reviewers have covered the storyline vagaries, and repeating them is distasteful. The characters are phony. The dialogue is wooden. There is no atmosphere, no distinct sense of place. Cliches abound, and when you think the writer couldn't top the last one--she does. In short, this book is not even worth discussion. It should simply be dismissed. Why didn't the editors and publishers do exactly that?This was my first book by Ms. Johansen. It will also be my last. | 11 | [

1 | Please don't buy this | This is probably one of my worst purchases in a long time. I returned it after a few days. It is just a normal hand mixer fixed to a stand mixer. Its made of cheap plastic and the quality looks cheap. Regarding mixing, it might mix more liquid batters which your ordinary hand mixer can handle. But if you plan to mix a dough for bread, don't use this. It doesn't mix properly. You have to keep putting the spatula in to take out stuff sticking on to the sides. The things at the bottom don't mix because the dough hooks are a bit too small. This thing is so light that if left unattended starts rocking and may fall on the ground. I know its cheap but what it does can be done with any $20 hand mixer. | 11 | [

2 | There was only one Miles. | It's hard to tell what Miles was searching for but fascinating to watch and listen. Close your eyes and you only get half the performance. That would be enough to be sure. Even better when you get to watch the interaction between this iteration of the band and the man with the horn. How many graduates of the University of Miles have there been? More than a few and in this performance and others I've seen they seem to be almost nervous about getting it right. They get it right for us but do they get it right for Miles? I don't think anyone really knew what was going on in his head. It wasn't hard to understand why he quit performing all those years but rather why he started again that is the mystery. Was it fun for him? Did he do it for the musicians? Surely he didn't do it for the public. Whatever the reason, we are lucky indeed. I'd give this DVD a 5 if the video quality had been better but it's a 4 I wouldn't want to be without. | 14 | [

2 | Stood and Delivered | The Stand is a large novel, perhaps the largest one of the latter half of the 2nd millenium. At no point does Stephen King reveal his hand. He is relentless as always up until the bitter end. People die. The end of the world is HAPPENing, not theorhetical. With drunken allure to a religiously unsatisfied working class and positive props from scared Sunday school students, King keeps his audiences in check. The Dark man has entered the world and is working his dark magic as everyone falls under his spell of plague except the fortunate few who have some chromosomal indifference to death. The characters have a choice which is more closely linked to a calling pulling them either for good (GOd) or evil Dark Man. We jest at ourselves unbelieving that his identity is the same as Satan's. Will good champine over evil? Let your previous King experience be your guide, or better yet, pour through this oft poetic text of mayhem until the bitter/beautiful end. | 11 | [

2 | great band with infectious music | I heard the band at their show 9/20/03. The music is so infectious and their performance so energetic that you can't help but jump up and down. South Normal is good, raw rock and roll. I was hooked from the first track through the last. Nathan's voice pentrates and leaves a permanent impression on your brain. Ben and Jason play off each other so well, they might just be the same person. Keeping the whole package grounded in solid beats are Jeremy and Shannon. This group is so well versed in their craft. The only bad thing about their recordings and live shows is eventually it has to end. South Normal is a band to watch. You'll be glad you got to hear them early in their career. | 11 | [

And YES!! it looks great! Then it starts. I call a bank to get a balance and need to put in all 16 digits of a card number. Maybe I'll get them all in and maybe I won't. Only the Chocolate knows for sure. It hiccups in the middle of my numbers and sends me to the contact menu. Very helpful. Getting out of the contact menu is no easy feat either.If you are your voicemail and try to delete or keep messages, good luck. Onve you have entered one of the numbers, you go to the contact list again.Once in awhile, the phone takes one to a different screen - I don't know the rhyme or reason.

1 | DO NOT BUY THIS PRINTER! | We currently have two HP printers in our office. One is an HP Color Laser Jet 2605dn. This worked for about a year (just until out of warranty). Now it has developed mirror issues and won't print magenta(HP tech support was useless), and I either have to tear it apart myself, or junk it. THE OTHER, an HP K550, has been a complete nightmare from day one. It did not work straight out of the box, and had to spend hours with support just to get it working. Some error in the software that comes with the machine. Now that it's "working", it continuously misfeeds, and eats up printer ink like crazy! Actually, it shows that there is about 1/3 ink left in the cartridges, but it will not print until you replace the cartridge. I have never had any printer go through ink like this thing. It is an aweful, money-eating frusteration. I will NEVER, EVER buy HP again. | 12 | [

2 | As Good As It Gets! | First, I would like to thank all the other amazon reviewers. You all made my choice of a gps unit, a great one.The price is fantastic. Most of the other retail locations charge at least $100 to $150 more than amazon for this wonder.Out of the box, it is so user friendly. The touch screen sensitivity is just right. The volume is great. The map interface is wonderful and it automatically dims at night. The directions are spot on.Great Features: Trip details, gives your average speed, distance, time, etc. Turn by turn directions will get you where you need to go. Automatically, switches between power modes when you attach the car charger. The built in mp3 player and additional feature (travel info, etc) are great as well.I have no complaints about his product, just praise. In fact, after using it on a trip, I plan on buying two more for family members. | 11 | [

2 | Very Satisfied | My husband & myself have been married for 10 yrs. This book certainly gave us some refreshing ideas. It is fun, & exciting. I certainly liked the fact that each chapter is sealed, & seperate for him & her. So you have no idea what your partner is going to do. (Very Exciting!) After 10 yrs of marraige it really helped spice up our sex life. So many different ideas. And it's almost like opening a new present everytime you get to a new chapter. I think that's what makes it so different from other books. You have nothing to lose. I recomend it very highly! Have Fun! | 13 | [

I am now a big believer and will stick with this book's plan for eating, not dieting!! As a side benefit, I never realized that the way I ate affected my blood sugar and caused me to want to eat even more. This plan stabilizes those fluctuations so much, that when first beginning, I forgot to eat!! Sounds crazy! With this plan you eat all that you want. It is hard to believe you can lose weight eating this way, but you can. This book has changed my life!! | 12 | [

1 | 2 big *Yawn* stars! | Wow, what a tiresome 80 minutes that was. Tool have gone for an ambient approach on Lateralus. Stretch out about 3 minutes worth of music into about 9 or 10 minutes of tedium. None of these songs have any hooks nor do they have any mind blowing instrumentation. They are just................long...............and...bland. It's like they are just jamming in slow motion. Hit a tom there, strum a chord here, pluck a couple of bass notes. Maynard asks "Have we reached 10 minutes yet?" ...Adam Jones looks at his watch. Maynard sounds like he recorded the vocals in about 15 minutes in between touring with A Perfect Circle. Ok, maybe i'm being a bit harsh, Tool are still alot better than most mainstream music but this album was so uninspiring. "Parabola" is the only song that redeems this boring pretentious affair. | 12 | [

2 | oh yeah? trade this! | Take the sections on price structure and open interest - throw the rest out if you like. You'll still have the most valuable trading book I've seen written to date. I see ten other reviews here, and only a couple mention OI's significance - mostly in passing. Very sad. Open interest's relationship with price action on a few levels deserves at least a few years of study, although it won't take you nearly that long for you to at least appreciate its importance the way it's presented in this book. This was the first market book I paid for as a market newbie in May '88. I still have fond memories of this basic OI move for OJ may 88, COP aug 88, PA oct 88, CT fall 88, COF dec 88, HO and HU summer 89. Try telling me again how worthless this book is...quit criticizing and study harder. The answers exist and much of it is humanly achievable. You're given a small morsel of it here and yet I see nothing but a ho hum response. That in itself is an interesting market lesson. | 11 | [

2 | The Stand is origional | The movie versian of Stephen Kings greatest work needed alot of work, but with the budget allowed and the visuals allowed through todays modern censurship laws,(ie..The discovery channel can show more gore than a TVMA rated Stephen King flick) The movie was good. I enjoyed how spread out the format of the storyline was, Imagine if you would the whole book put into movie mode. Your talking at least six more hours of movie. No one has that much time to spend with movie. Great Job Steve. The storyline was kept true to the book. The made for television scenery was pretty realistic. The acting was fair. No More Rob Lowe, or Molly Ringwald, for top notch storylines such as this. Lets give this one a well deserved dvd collectors spot on the shelf. I have made my Stand. | 11 | [

Here's hoping Baz will see this and do just that!I thought that this was a good CD overall, however I would've liked to seen more on it too! Particularly the Sound of music/Children of the revolution except with Kylie Minogue! I have been waiting and waiting for a second volume to come out, especially hoping for that part. So now that it has come out, it was a big disappointment. I guess if you want it all, you sometimes only get half. Compared to the Romeo & Juliet 2 soundtrack, this 2nd soundtrack could've been just as good if not better. Otherwise what IS on the CD is great. Huge fan of the movie, get it.

1 | disappointing | We were on a serial killer kick and decided to check this out and it was very slow. Also, it seems to lack some information. From the movie Albert was jobless and in a somewhat disfunctional marriage and was paid to appear in police line ups. It only shows Albert killing one woman. The rest are done by other people. Yet, it mentions that the 5 original victims were older and the others were copycats. So Albert didn't kill every one of them...but only the one? Anyway, when the police arrest him the movie doesn't show why or what evidence they have on him. The police just pull him over in a car and the next thing you know Albert is in jail. It would have been nice to have been shown the reasons. Also, the movie never cleared up why exactly Albert was so attached to his prison roommate. The acting was ok. It was interesting to see the young man who played Bud Bundy in a much different role. | 13 | [

1 | Bored? This will put you to sleep. | What has happened to Duke? There were 17 rounds in 2005. In a DVD advertised as 180 minutes, we get, in every round mind you, four separate plays of the cartoon characters with a synthesized "Are you ready boots?" Then each round has stock tourist footage of places like Bruno, Sachsenring and Assen (just in case you were planning a visit other than to see a GP). Then there's an on-board lap (apparently useful to some GP riders) but unlike past years, they don't even bother to inform who the rider is. So that's a full 119 minutes of filler. They cut all but 15 seconds from the post-race interviews. And they cut all 125 and 250 coverage, a feature of prior years. Finally, there's the racing. Some of the most exciting footage ever, reduced to soporific four-minute outtakes. Compare the same company's 2002 or 2001 offerings and it's clear someone at Duke is ripe for new challenges. Guys, it's quite simple. Show the races, comment on them. | 13 | [

2 | The most useful book on strip canoe building | I have many of the common books on canoe building. This book is by far the easiest to use. There seems to be two major schools of thought when it comes to strip canoe building: 1) floating furniture (The Canoecraft way) and 2) utilitarian (Hazen and Gilpatrick). I've built a solo canoe following Gil's methods and it has served wonderfully for 5 years. I've bounced it down rocky rivers and used it for many trips to the BWCA and Quetico and it has served admirably.If you wish to build a work of art, then perhaps you should follow Moores's methods. Personally, I don't like external stems on a canoe. They widen the entry line and just look weird to me. Building them is also a fiddly undertaking and I'm not sure that they really add much.If you want a functional and tough canoe . . . that is beautiful to boot . . . this book will help you reach your goal.

"This book is by far the easiest to use.",
"There seems to be two major schools of thought when it comes to strip canoe building: 1) floating furniture (The Canoecraft way) and 2) utilitarian (Hazen and Gilpatrick).",
"I've built a solo canoe following Gil's methods and it has served wonderfully for 5 years.",
"I've bounced it down rocky rivers and used it for many trips to the BWCA and Quetico and it has served admirably.If you wish to build a work of art, then perhaps you should follow Moores's methods.",
"Personally, I don't like external stems on a canoe.",
"They widen the entry line and just look weird to me.",
"Building them is also a fiddly undertaking and I'm not sure that they really add much.If you want a functional and tough canoe.",

2 | A Book for Choco-holics | I read The Chocolate Touch by Patrick Skene Catling. John is the main character, and he is a kid that loves chocolate and eats too much. Susan is John's best friend, and she is also one of the main characters. The book takes place mostly at school and also at home. One day John got a special piece of candy from a candy store. After John ate the candy, everything he ate turned to chocolate. Just like the time in math class when he bit his pencil and it turned to chocolate. John felt terrible and awful and wanted to stop it but he couldn't. John learned a lesson.I loved this book because it's about chocolate. My favorite part is when John eats a leather glove. I think the book is suspenseful. Everyone would like this book, especially if you love chocolate!By Tommy | 12 | [

1 | Don't buy PC Mover! | PLEASE don't buy any edition of PC Mover. (I bought an early version and downloaded to the latest version on both computers. Even that process caused errors.) It comes with no instructions, and using it is NOT self-explanatory. It is complicated. I am very computer savvy so if I can't use it, you won't be able to either. It took me fifty tries, and several hours in online chats with their help support, and at least one nervous breakdown, before I got it to work. And THEN, the one piece of software that PCMover transferred for me didn't work. (Don't know why. Completely gave up at that point.) They have a help button you can push every step of the way, but it just tells you "This is what's happening now." If something's going wrong, and it's NOT happening, the help button offers no troubleshooting whatsoever. Useless. I seriously did become a stress mess. Also, you should know that they pay people to advertize on their sites. | 15 | [

1 | They Axed For It! | I can't read the credits. Is that a bad sign? What else can they screw up? Three couples who, quite frankly, seem to hate each other, go on a camping trip in search of some lost gold. What they don't know about is the curse of the Forty-Niner, Jeremiah Stone. If someone steals his gold, his ghost comes back to kill them. Wait. "I Want Me Gold!" This is cribbed straight from the pages of Leprechaun. Anyway, they steal the gold, get hunted, and find out from a hysterical, overwrought Aunt Nelly (Karen Black) that they need to return it to stop the curse. A few things amused me. Jeremiah bites off his own finger for no reason. A fender bender turns into a massive two car explosion. And Aunt Nelly has apparently never heard of stop, drop, and roll. | 14 | [

1 | Overrated novel with a great premise that was poorly executed | Not as good as anticipated. The book was hard to get into. For the most part, it reads like a text book, with news articles that completely take you out of the story. There are too many of them and they interrupt the flow of the story, making it a real chore to read. The first scene is great, a classic scene, actually, but once it's over you are bombarded with the news articles. If I wanted to read so many news articles, I'd pick up the newspaper and have at it. I don't, that's why I picked up this novel. King uses the articles to tell the story instead of a normal narrative, sacrificing an enjoyable read.To put it bluntly, there are better Stephen King novels out there. I don't recommend newbs starting with this one. King had a great premise here but it wasn't executed well at all. A real shame, too. Anyone interested in this story might do well watching the movie instead, which was undoubtedly better. | 12 | [

2 | Bonamassa Rocks | I have just recently seen Bonamassa at Konocti Harbor and was completely surprised. I figured he was just there as a warm up band for George Thorogood. On the contrary his performance was outstanding. Shades of Stevie Ray Vaughn,Jimi Hendrix,Eric Clapton and Duane Almond came through the intricate guitar work. Some of the music was laced with the old style jam session with vocals that were powerful.Throughout the entire show the music held a special quality that was all his own. After the gig I purchased this cd and So,It's like that. Both cd's are an accurate reflection of the live version. If you get a chance to see this performer don't miss it. Don't be surprised !!! | 11 | [

2 | A Must Have | I am a biology teacher and own two tracts of woods. I bought two cheaper books thinking, foolishly, that I would then be able to identify most mushrooms. Cheap and thin is easy to carry in the woods, but this is the "mushroom bible" all naturalists should own. Arora handles a jargon rich science exquisitely. His use of humor in a virtual textbook takes away the thick book intimidation factor. Academia could learn a lot from David's style. I wish all the pictures were in color, but that would increase the price and thickness of the volume tremendously. I will add a few other field guides with color pictures for referencing. I now have a hard time believing there are still copies available for sale. I don't know who in their right mind would sell such a volume. I'll have mine until the end. | 11 | [

2 | One of the best synthpop albums out there!!! | This album is absolutely RICH with creativity and ingenuity. It's released by Radikal Records which is relatively new, I personally think they have done a superb job with the whole design & creative packaging of the CD-- notice a different CD casing approach! Aside from that, Schiller has successfully brought the mix of synthpop/electronica/dance/new age to the next level !!! I'm amazed by their ceativity in mixing all those ingredients together and make it a sound masterpiece. Great job guys !! This has made my Top Ten list album of ALL TIME. All tracks are superbly done. My favorites are: "Dream of You" (with Peter Heppner), "Dancing With Loneliness", "Destiny", "Distance", and "Dreams." There are also some cool positive messages inscribeb in between tracks. VERY COOL !!! Definitely "A-MUST-HAVE" !! Peace !! | 17 | [
