Yes, but .....
Probably the message can be confusing. What is 70% noise reduction? Which 30% remain? Noise reduction works well with lower, deeper frequencies. If there is no lower frequencies the effect is difficult to detect. But the technical means to reduce noise seem to be multiple. Inversion of sound signals is one, selective amplification - it seems - another, and as an add-on you get some white noise. If you use it for listening to music the impression of noise reduction is strong. It certainly may be 70% or even more. But if you just use the phones without an mp3 player or another source of sound - it rather feels like 30%-40%. Therefore not 5 but only 4 stars.

Put your credit card away...
One of the things I like about amazon is you can read the reviews and the suggestions they offer. Some days I will decide to purchase items on a whim, other times based on suggestions and reviews and hope to be pleasantly surprised. This was not the case with this DVD set. I'll say that I have some eclectic tastes and can enjoy a movie that is abstract, artsy or doesn't subscribe to a typical movie format or standard. With that being said, Fando y Lis was a monumental disappointment. I didn't finish watching this movie and to be fair to the dvd set I have not watched the other two movies included. Amateur and pointless are two words that come to mind. I didn't feel like I was being moved in any way, positive or negative. I am not a film maker or student so maybe there were some technical aspects of this film that I would not know to appreciate. Maybe I'll give Holy Mountain a spin and become a believer. Save your money kids, Tar cannot be reached through this dvd set.

Overpriced for what you get
I bought this just to see what the turbofire series would be like. For a $23 DVD you would think it would at least come in a plastic case, instead it came in a cheap cardboard sleeve. The actual workout wasn't bad. I am not in great shape by any means. I play tennis a couple times a week and go on a treadmill or bike a couple times a week. I actually did not have difficulty keeping up with the video. The hardest part was learning the moves to keep up. It made me sweat which was good. There is a lot of jumping around so I wouldn't do this if you have knee problems. There is one woman who does the low impact version on stage, but her version looks too easy. You may as well not do this video if you can't do the full version. In any case $23 for 15 minutes of exercise and a 5 minute warm down is not good value when you have have something like Supreme 90 with 10 DVDs for $20.

Best for editing
I have Pinnacle Studio Plus Ver. 9 and have downloaded the improvement patch from Pinnacle. I did have Ver 8 and was unhappy with the intermittant crashes in the middle of a project.I have found Ver. 9 (with patch) to be more stable and able to handle detailed editing without any problem. Big feature: you can take a finished DVD project and re-edit directly. No need to save video clips on your hard drive. No problems in rendering and burning, but does take about 3 hours for a 50 min. video. I have been unable to purchase plug-in's directly from Pinnacle. I will not be upgrading to Ver. 10 until all bugs have been corrected.

The Two Princesses of Bamarre
This book wasn't all that great. Yeah sure, it had adventure, excitement and romance, all the things I love to read about when I pick up a book. But in this book, the adventure part was boring. The 'excitement' wasn't exciting. The romance part wasn't romantic. And really who cares about what Bamarre's hero did? I didn't like it. If Addie had gotten sick and Meryl was the main character, I might have liked it more. But probably not. I especially didn't want Addie to fall in love with or marry Rye. I didn't like him at all. And you can't even tell they're in love until the very end. Whenever I read romance books, I like those little tiny hints that make you totally see that they'll fall for each other. I think Addie needed someone to fall in love with to make it more interesting, and the only person that could be was Rye. This book was BORING!

Hi, my name is Jon. I have eight kids. My wife Kate bought
this wonderful shirt for me for Christmas. I love the wolves howling at the moon, because inside I was quietly howling at the moon. My wife is pretty demeaning to me. So I thought I could only howl on the inside. But with this shirt, I had the confidence to howl on the outside.With my inner howling released I bought a new sports car and headed out with my shirt, car, and no kids to meet a girl (only a friend?) at a local bar. To make a long story short, this girl couldnt control herself around my me with my wolf shirt. We are now in love. But my wife found out and I think she is upset. I may end up losing much money and my kids because of this shirt.So I leave the one star as a warning. Be careful. This shirt can get you in trouble, sort of like aligators chewing on your rear end. I think I will give the shirt away....Sincerely,Jon minus Kate and eight kids.

You won't regret buying this CD!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I stumbled onto Brenda Weiler quite by accident. And, I must say, it was the best accident that ever happened to me! Within minutes of listening to the free downloads of her music, I ordered all of her CDs. I completely agree with the fan who states (here in these reviews) that Brenda's are songs you'll love instantly yet somehow find yourself loving more and more as you listen to them again and again! I have told all of my family and friends about her and have even taken measures to get her to come to St. Louis. Hopefully she will be here next Spring! You can bet I will be in the first row, as I fear Brenda is headed for great success and her future venues will be in football stadiums!! I highly recommend this CD to ALL of you out there. Buy it! You'll not be disappointed!!!! It's a beautifully rich and wonderful compilation!!!!!!!!! NOW GO BUY IT!!!!!!!!!

Short of the Mark
While writer Gaiman aspired to write an adult fairy tale, "Stardust" falls short on both accounts. Another reviewer correctly identified it as a new "Princess Bride," an adult spoof of children's fairy tales. And, as a spoof, it might have worked, except for the graphic violence, exploding heads and several impalings. Bing Crosby once asked, "Would you like to swing on a star, carry moonbeams home in a jar . . . or would you rather be a jerk?" "Stardust" chooses to be jerky. When will filmmakers realize that the successes of Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings are not about the gee-whiz special effects and sweeping vistas but about the integrity of the writing. "Stardust" insults the genre of fantasy rather than complementing it. Want to read an adult fairy tale? Try Stephen Donaldson's Thomas Covenant series. Want to see an adult fairy tale? Try John Boorman's "Excalibur."

This soundtrack absolutely rocks!
ALL of the songs on this Disney soundtrack album are fantastic. I love them ALL! My favorites are "Reach (For It)", "If I Had It My Way", "You Set Me Free", "Reachin' For Heaven", and "Bump". There is not a single song on here I don't like. How many CDs can I say that about? I am just not certain. Plus being family-friendly, you can invite the little kids to listen to this also. It is perfectly suited for them, but enjoyable for adults as well. Buy it today if you can! My daughter and I listen to this one, like, religiously. We mean it in the sense that we cannot put it down. 5 stars.

Reflections: Personalizing Life, Nature, Man and God
World, what has happened to God's creation? Nature's balance is lost. Why? Step one, step two, step three and on, and on, and . . . . .? World, do you know how many steps this ladder has? I wonder if the creators of the ladder and of the words in the dictionary were twins? The night is dark, nature is resting and waiting for another day, another sunrise.Three dictionary words have been on my mind for a very long time and they woke me up. They are the words SMART, TRUTH and NOTHING. The word SMART is laughing and climbing, the word TRUTH is worrying and the word NOTHING is underneath the ladder, waiting. TRUTH is begging, please write a review, but not tomorrow, write it today.

Has potential but falls flat
Fine writing style, quite creative really, with good character development. But the story was a bit weak. The situations and resolutions were a bit too convenient. Flipping back and forth between the sub plots was ok, but they didn't cohere very well. Billy Staight's situation had little contribution in the end. The Ramsey investigation was small. What did Stu's character have to do with anything other than an attempt to show a considerate, domestic side of Petra. I really expected Stu to play a major role but he became unnecessary to the story. So some of the sub plots went nowhere. The Grandmother?Overall there was some real potential with this book but too many loose ends and lack of build up. However, I am really looking forward to starting on the Alex Delaware series. Looking forward to finding a character as strong as Sanford's Lucas Davenport.

a singer who knows music
I thought I would give my ear to the sample cuts from this cd of Mr.Clay Aiken and I must say that I am so glad that I did not go and waste my money on the total cd. Clay, darling, the cd is bad. Do not believe the 5 star reviews that you have recieved. These people don't actually know music and they are not being sincere. Take what you have done and learn from it and do a better job the next time around. Your voice is wild and out of control. You are putting too much emphasis in getting your point across to the listener. I feel as though you are still feeling that you are in a competition. You lost. As I said, take this experience and learn from it. If you can't do any better, then shoot for Broadway.

THIS is my summer album
Fun! Fun! Fun! Three guys with guitars! Say what you will otherwise about this CD, but when it comes down to it, this thing is 100% pure unadulterated fun. I heard one song on the radio (#4, Chelsea Dagger) and had it stuck in my noggin after that- it was very annoying! The next day, on a hard-fought whim I finally bought the album at Best Buy. I have never regretted this! Really it was out of desperation, since all the music out "all sounds the same nowadays". Come on... you've said it too. It's not just that you're old- 99% of what's out there right now sucks a$$.That's certainly not the case here. This is the very, very rare album that's actually worth buying. There's not a bad track on here. When's the last time you said that about a CD? Buy it... you will not be sorry!

Terrible interface and tutorial
The game looks really cool, and it looks very detailed. However I've not even moved a man. The tutorial is horrendous, didn't have the patience for it. Other games I've tried have excellent tutorials where they walk you thru the interface. This tutorial has a bunch of popup windows that move all around the screen so you have to keep jumping around to close them, I'd close one and another would immediately open. I couldn't figure out how to stop this tutorial popup frenzy so I had to suffer thru it. The manual has a lot of detail about game concepts, but not enough in the way of game interface and how to perform rudimentary things. I've never launched a game before that I couldn't figure out by experimenting. Every time I click on a button to see what it does, my map disappears and nothing I click on will get it back, and nothing in the manual would tell me how to retrieve it. Ended up having to quit and restart the game. Very frustrating!

Brian's Winter
Brian's WinterHave you ever been camping? You were out in the wilderness, but it was controlled. Brian in "Brian's Winter" was trapped in the wilderness. With only his common sense he had to survive. I will be telling you what I thought of the novel.Gary Paulsen wrote this novel called "Brian's Winter". If you liked Hatchet you will love this book. Gary wrote this as a sequel to tell people what would have happened if Brian had to live through the winter. His descriptions of the setting were so in depth that you could see it in your mind.Brian was a young teenager maybe 14 years old. He didn't have a lot of common sense about the wilderness, but he learned quickly. He really did not know things that everyone should know about the wilderness. He was a teen so what can you expect.I thought this book was okay not a great book, but a good read. I gave it a 3 out of five. I didn't like the main character, but I liked the way the book was told. It was very descriptive.

Good Price, Breaks every 12 Months.
Compared to other Tankless heaters this is a very good price. I have had this unit for 3 years, in 2 person home, 2 bathrooms. It does the job....mostly.However, right on schedule at 15 months (3 months out of warranty) it stops working. Did it again yesterday. Luckily I live in Miami where they are made. For $50 they will fix it, if I bring it to their offices. And they are good about it, no problem. Yes there is language problem, but the receptionist speaks good spanglish. I got a peak at their repair area...super super BUSY. Beware.Today we are going to buy another at home depot as a backup for when one fails. This is pretty outrageous...but we need hot water.If you don't live in South Florida I would not buy this unit knowing it will take a week for service time every year or so.

Beyond The Fields We Know
I remember reading this in 1978. I was a teenage boy of 18. I remember going beyond the fields we know, and to this day I have never returned. I was profoundly moved and found myself weeping. Even then I knew: this was the poetry of dreams. How does one describe the dream worlds of Lord Dunsany? This is heady stuff: a strange intoxication of beautiful prose that has to be experienced with an open heart and mind. This is some of the literature that inspired me as a boy to write and illustrate my own dreams. Wonderful, that this is back in print. DO NOT pass up THE CHARWOMAN'S SHADOW, or anything by this cerebral master. I hope someone reprints BEYOND THE FIELDS WE KNOW and OVER THE HILLS AND FAR AWAY. DO NOT LET THESE CLASSICS OF LITERATURE DIE!

A letdown
This was a very disappointing entry in an excellent series. I had to force my way to finish it since the plot was so uninteresting. I didn't care about finding the murderer because there was no sympathy developed for the victim. The major characters in the series, normally fun, were annoying. Drayton moped throughout the book, Haley whined and complained, and Theodosia was too busy running around going to fashion events and hosting teas that solving the murder took a back seat. Even she was apathetic! As for Theo and her boyfriend, this is not exactly the romance of the century. They are more like brother and sister. I doubt that most women would consider being called "kiddo" by their boyfriends a term of endearment. By the time the murder was solved, it was anticlimactic, and I was just glad that the book came to an end. This book did not have the cozy charm that the others in the series did. Those who like this series can skip this entry and hope that the next book gets back on track.

Thai Translation Help
The Thai-English English-Thai Dictionary for Non-Thai Speakers, Revised Edition, was a great buy. I anxiously awaited the arrival of this, compact size, little book, with a big voice. It seemed to be a little late in getting here. But, that might be just because I was watching the mailbox for it. At the end of May, at a garage sale, I purchased two books from Pinn Beads, showing beautiful colors and designs to make with crystals and seed beads. They are great books, with one drawback. They are written totally in Thai. Searching Amazon was a great idea, I was able to find and purchase the Thai Dictionary. I haven't translated all the words, yet, but I'm working on it. I can follow the pictures and diagrams pretty well. But sometimes you just need the words. I know this book will be a big help.

Complete waste of time
This is the first book by Laurell K. Hamilton that I have ever read. It is also the last I will ever read. Has this woman ever taken a writing class? A grammar lesson? Does she not have an editor? Those are the only reasons I can think of to explain the travesty that is this novel. With a strong editing hand, the book could have been cut by at least half and the story would have been just as strong. The long, rambling, nonsensical paragraphs that clog up the story bogged the momentum of the book down so badly that I had to grit my teeth to get through the entire thing. I do admit that I was intrigued by the premise of the book, and feel that the story was entertaining. However, the characters were poorly fleshed out or unbelievable, the descriptions were ridiculously detailed and irrelevant, and the general writing style was amatuerish. I'm absolutely shocked that this woman has sold enough books to have the words "New York Times Bestseller" on the front of this novel.

Great headphones for a great price
When I saw these headphones for an unbelievabel price, I thought that it wasn't a good buy. Although they looked decent, I bought them anyways because come on... it five dollars. When I recieved them, I tried them out right away. I was surprised! They are actually really good! They have great sound and quality. They are durable, comfortable(unless you wear them for a while, then it starts to hurt), and are nice and comapct for travel. As for noise cancellation, it is decent but not the best. Although I didn't seem do have a problem with it. All in all its was a great buy. If your looking for great headphones for cheap, look no further.

Reminds Me Of Generations (ST 7)
Okay was I the only one who felt like they were watching Generations all over again? What did Paramount do recycle from that movie into this one? Where is all the villians we've come to know and love? I mean they got First Contact right with the Borg. (A Favorite among us Star Trek fans). Why couldn't they get it right the second time around? Well it is an odd trek film and for some reason odd number films don't seem to do well. But still no excuse.It seems though that the cast will wait three years before making the next trek film. They have reportdly stated it will be their last and pick up from where Insurrection left off. My advice: If the next film will be your last why not have Q as the villian? I mean after all, hes one of our favorite characters and has been with ST since TNG came on the air. And still makes appearences on Voyager.

Awesome
I purchased this to travel by myself from Alaska to Nevada. It was easy, light, even able to take it apart and put in small over head. Fit in the screeners at all airports, but if not they can just wand it. I was able to roll it down the isle of a Boeing 737. My car seat was not one found on the GoGoBaby site, because I didn't realize they had a list of all approved carseats for the dolly. But mine worked. It was light enough (along with my carseat and baby 17lbs) to carry the baby down the stairs to get out to the small prop plane and up the stairs into the plane.Baby loved it! Just watched all the people!Not once did the carseat come away from the dolly. I was stranded in Juneau, AK for 24hrs, was able to pull him all over town, over sidewalks, bumpy roads, etc. The dolly did GREAT!I had the baby, my backpack and that was it!! This made traveling so convenient.

Rupert Pupkin and his hostages
I love comedy and thought this was maybe an anthology of current comedy acts. Wow, I could not have been more wrong. This seems like a failed pilot or a vanity project for Byron Allen. It is horrible on almost every level. The production values are worse than my 1970's high school AV squad. The "guest" comedians look vaguely embarrassed to be on. A couple of them even ask "Is this going to be on TV?".... "What channel will this be on?".The only way I could even get through this 2 disc set (I watched the entire thing) was to pretend this was a version of "The King Of Comedy" and that Byron Allen was a black Rupert Pupkin and the comedians were his hostages. It didn't make it any better but it did occupy my mind for the 176 minutes. I looked in vain for the "featurette" but could not find it. I confess I didn't look that hard.Please save your money. Or buy "The King of Comedy".

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FINALLY!!! A new sonic game. We had Sonic games on the Gamecube before but they were all originally on another console. They were running on an old gaming engine as well. But this game is a work of art. Everything, the new team formation, the graphics, the storyline (which is interesting because Shadow survived but he doesnt remember how because he got an amnesia and also that his enemy is now Eggman also). There are 4 teams of 3 characters each. Team Sonic has Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles. Team Dark has Shadow, Rouge, and this new robot guy that was created/betrayed by Eggman called Omega. Team Rose has Amy, Cream and her chao friend Cheese, and Big the Cat. Another excellent thing as well. The people from Knuckles Chaotix returned. Team Chaotix contains Espio, Vector, and Charmy. They all are against Eggman. BUY THIS THE 1ST DAY IT COMES OUT!!!!

PERFECT!
At first, I thought this product was ridiculously expensive for a sheet of plastic. Then I read the reviews and was impressed. Finally, I attempted to place the included screen protector that came with my TX and had to rip it off moments later (high friction, tons of bubbling, arghh!!!!).Application is critical. Take your time, make sure the screen is clean and dust free (compressed air is your friend). Place this protector down to fit two sides and trust that it is sized perfectly. You want the middle to contact first. Then work the included applicator card to squeeze out any bubbles out the side.As previous reviews mentioned, this is the screen protector to get! It's surface is slick making it easy to pen. Sensitivity is maintained and it appears to be very durable. I think ordering just one is all you will ever need.

PAGE-TURNER DEFINED
I've read hundreds of books defined as page-turners, but I never really appreciated the phrase before this one. This truly is an action-packed, non-stop thriller that truly invites you to stick around and see what happens next. Whatever the hour at night. I read it in four evenings (fast for me) and desparately wished it was twice its length.I was impressed with how the characters were leaping from the frying pan to the fire, and surviving - every two pages. The excitement was terrific and relentless. The hero pulled a hidden rabbit out of the hat now and then, but the pure entertainment factor warrants the five star review and the pacing was set at one speed: full ahead !Sure, there were some lines and words of dialogue that made me groan, but was the book fun ? Entertaining ? A page-turner ? Hell, yes !!!I've got to buy his others now and add them to my collection. This thriller BEGS to be made into a movie, and you will enjoy it immensely.Highly recommended.

What was Tarantino thinking?
What was Tarantino thinking? He stuffs all his favorite genres into a single movie mixing visuals, music, and styles from scene to scene. A washed out scene like a spaghetti western including the ripped off soundtrack. A campy chopsuey bloody fight scene. A stylish martial arts scene. Japanese anime - yes, Tarantino tosses in animation scenes. Film noir. A dash of campy Charlie's Angels. I'm sure I'm missing some. Add in a near record number of annoying flashbacks and you have a confused film one assumes is meant to be, at some level, satire but lacks any real humor, cleverness, or bite. Terribly sadistic in places, it generally is lacking in humanity. Uma Thurman is completely wasted though she tries awfully hard to breath life into an empty script. Oh, did I mention his fascination with spraying blood that gushes from wounds like an uncapped fire hydrant? Excessive is what this film's all about. This movies is only for Tarantino fans.

Timeless and eloquent
This novel is truly a great. It sucks you in in only that way that H.G. Wells can. A very intelligent and logical man discovers how to make himself invisible. That's great, except that the process is quite painful. You'd think being invisible would be great, only it's not. You can see through your eyelids, so you can't sleep. Sleeplessness leads to madness. And what about food? You must procure it somehow, and being invisible makes that difficult, as is making friends. All this leads to a madness no one can truly understand, only H.G. Wells makes you see behind this madness to see the logical man gone mad.

The CIA is evil!
Spoiler alert. This is the WHOLE movie in a nutshell. All members of the CIA are evil. All members of British intelligence are evil. All member of Israeli intelligence are evil. Julian Assange and Bradley Manning are (really, really) good. And this is all TRUE. The actor Sam Shepard tells us so in the "Making of" bonus and he knows because he's a friend of Valerie Plame, the faux spy. The action is totally implausible (as it is in most movies of this genre) but the plot (such as it is) is boring. Denzel plays Denzel really well (he's got that down pat) and Ryan Reynolds plays himself (not a compliment). A total waste of time.

No talent.
Her attitude of lip syncing on a live show is really punk but her music isn't. Her songs are actually well written but I could tell that she didn't write them though she claims she did. She can't play instruments and doesn't know anything about chord progression or music theory so there's no way that she could have written them. You have to know at least some basics about music to be able to write songs unless you are a real genius. I think she made this record just because she wanted some fame. That's a real insult to the music. If she had a musical talent, it would be alright for her to do whatever she wants. So just ignore her. She's the most talentless singer today. She's as bad as Kelly Osbourne. Listen to better music. There are a lot of talented musicians out there.

Hit or miss
I had used one of these bought at Home Depot and was pleased. Zapped to death numerous mice over a few months. It stopped working and I thought ok, can't last forever, using it outside (in a garden shed) will eventually corrode electronics. Bought two more on Amazon.com and one of them was DOA. It never did work. Light would go on when set, but bait was always gone the next day, with no perpetrator caught. The other Victor worked well for about a week, killed 3 mice, then it started to fail. It would crackle electronically when turned on, and the bait was gone the next day with no dead mouse. Quality control is the problem with these traps; some work well for a reasonable time period, and some just never work. As other reviewers have noted, getting the batteries installed just right is tricky, but can be done successfully if you just keep trying. But then it's hit or miss whether the electronics will work, and for how long.

Poor Condition
I ordered two. They were the "last two" the company had. I only paid $18.00 for each one. When I received them on two separate days (ordered at the same time) the boxes were all beaten up and one actually had a whole in it. One was in good shape and is beautiful. The other?? Not so much it makes beautiful firewood. Why not contact the company? FOR the two reasons listed it was advertised as the "last two" and they only cost $18.00 each. My shipping costs to return it such a heavy item would have been more than the original purchase. Poor shipping, packaging, and might I add there is no way this happened during shipping,, its evident that both boxes were damaged prior to sending out.

I can't believe this is Rachel Gibson's debut novel...
Because "Simply Irresistible" has to be one of the better romance novels I read... even compared to some of the veterans romance writers. She might have written about flawed heroines and heros... but these characters have great chemistry (lotsa zing!) and they create some amazing plots! Geogeanne Howard might be flighty and fickle but she is a great heroine, nonetheless! Overcoming her faults and becoming a successful businesswoman is a fantastic victory! And John Kowalsky's relationship with his daughter was so sweet and cute, I just wanted to read more about them! The part where he was playing barbie with her was the best! (You just have to read it...) And Lexie is the most BELIEVABLE little girl ever written in a romance novel! She is just a doll! The story of Georgeanne and John might not be the most ideal but they overcome some very interesting obstacles to finally come together! This is such a good book! I HIGHLY recommend it!

Luxurious... HAHAHAHA! DO NOT BUY!!!
These are SO Cheap! You do not want them! Run Away, Lol! I thought they would be nice because they look so pretty in the picture... but they are NOT! They feel like a slip in slide or something... almost like plastic! Maybe I am not used to these kind of sheets but that is the LEAST of my complaint! I put them through the washer on delicate and after just one wash... the pillowcase have lost ALL shine! They look dull and nasty and the sheet set is all blotchy with dull spots! SAVE YOUR MONEY and don't even look at these! I was lured in with the cheap price... I believe I paid $19.99 for Queen Size. If I could rate these less then 1 Star I would!!

definitely not a keeper
I read this book over a week's time. It did not call me to it at the end of the day. I kept reading it to have something to do. I hated the flash backs. The action didn't move until the last forty or so pages. This book was a terrible disappointment to me. I also didn't think the characters were believable. I lost patience with them early on. This is definitely not, in my opinion, in the style of David Baldacci. Shame on you for saying it is. Finley Adams

Fair....Bordering on Ho-Hum.
This is the fist Hall book I have read. I don't think I will be reading anymore. I was a little bored with this story. Things were ok until characters Emma and Norman entered. They are so weird, that the story lost its substance. I got tired of the cockroach riddles and stories. Adding Jennifer to the duo just made them that much more uninteresting. I'm not sure where Alex's political friend was supposed to fit in the story. It seemed like a chapter from another book got mixed up in this story. I would have preferred more follow up with the murders than all the dialogue between Alex and her Alzheimer ridden father. That got a little old.Thank goodness this was a library book and didn't cost me anything.

A terrible waste of my time!
This movie was a terrible movie. It was so boring. I couldn't believe that it was such a dull movie. It looked so good on the cover. They had to get got actors to lessen the blow of this rather complicated film. It didn't even make sense. Christina Ricci's character shouldn't have been in there. She didn't do anything except embarrasse herself on the bus. The accents were the only good thing about it. They did a good job with that. Don't waste your time!!!

Absolutely a classic
Despite being put off by the endless 80's whining and angst of Kasden's Big Chill I gave Silverado a chance based on good word-of-mouth. What an epic. It grabs you at the beginning with the basecleff rumbling of an old saloon upright piano and hurls you into a grand, sweeping vista. All this just after an ambush that seems to have the sound and editing crispness of Shane. The cast is the best ensemble I have ever seen. Period. Brian Dennahey, Kevin Kline, and Linda Hunt are standouts. I really enjoyed Kevin Costner's debut as an ADHD young gun, and John Cleese was a pleasent surprise. The clearcut good-versus-evil storyline is well told, well directed and the sets and costuming are authentic. You will enjoy this movie if you ignore the fact that 1) females are purely background characters (with the exception of Linda Hunt,who steals every scene she's in) and 2) this is no 1990's politically-correct, retelling of the western fable. It's absolutely a classic.

Great Fantasy of a imagination.
Well I have to say I didn't think this would be all good but I was so wrong. The voices are great and the drawings and music is so good. You should see this this only has 4 episodes, but they are great and it's so funny. I know you will love it the charaters are so beauiful and the good guys are so cute. I haven't seen them all yet, but I will. If your a ANIME FAN a true one, you will get this. Plus one more thing The designs are great, and if you like other world Animanation cartoons you will love this. A MUST BUY. I didn'y know I did it more than once. I thought it just didn't take untill I finished reading how long it would take to come up here. My bad.Later anime fans.

Don't Wate YOur Time With this Band
One of the best live bands to come around in a long time? You have GOT to be kidding me. I saw them live opening for Jason Mraz. Mraz was great, but watching Maroon 5 really put a damper on the whole evening. The lead singer tried to act all cool and everything, but came off as being REALLY annoying. Their live show is really nothing special and altogether boring. As for the album, come on people. This is major music industry at its finest, producing mindless sludge that has been used over and over again and then labeling them as being totally "unique". So what makes this band so "unique"? Believe me, if you really want to listen to this band, you're better off downloading the songs than buying the album. Trust me, it's not worth the price tag.

As an infant teacher..
I wouldn't recommend these bottles. There ae many others out there with the same benifits, minus the hassle. I can't even COUNT how many times I have been soaked in a mother's breat milk because of the leakage. I have tried screwing them extra tight, I have tried screwing them on the looser side, ... I have even tried putting them on crooked! LOL They don't leak all the time, but when they do, watch out! It comes pouring out like a river! Personally, I used the Playtex disposible bottles. You can get the same great "mother like" nipples, same easy clean-up, same gas reduction, and a LOT less leakage! None.. Imagine that?! If you're gonna use the Avent bottles, make sure you have some extra milk/formula, for those occassions you lose half the bottle on you lap!

Excellent product.
Would have given 5 stars but owners manual was missing, called Amazon and was told to call manufactuer. It arrive after a week. No problems with mower. Cuts grass better than the old walk-behind mower did. Set-up was a breeze and perimeter wire was a snap to lay. A bit pricey and accessories/optional items are a fortune. For price paid a rapid charger should have been included. Only concern is service, nearest service center is a couple of hundred miles away.Would I purchase one again? Probably (Most likely if price was lower). I live in central Florida and during summer months grass requires 2 mowings per week. If I lived in a cooler/drier area price paid would have covered lawn service for a long time.

Rush job?
This novel is the epitome of "so-so". It's ok. I've read it once and I'm ready to pass it on. Plot development is thin. Character development is thin. This is the equivalent of a writing assgignment being written the night before. Only rap songs have more grammatical errors than this book. I can't sell mine as new because punctuation and grammar errors are marked with yellow highlighter on practically every page!Romantica (not a spelling error) scenes are unfounded. For all their emoting, the main characters barely know each other and what they find out about each other mostly comes from alternative sources and not each other. But at the end of the day, one doesn't really buy a book like this for its literary pretentions. For the money, there are much better books than this one.

Great Service!!!!!
HP, Sony, Palm, Ect ect. only ship with 1 year warranties. If you want more it is up to you to buy more warranty. That is why retailers offer it as an additional service. Don't say HP has poor service because your warranty expired. You knew (or should have known) what the warranty was prior to purchasing it. HP has probably the best service out there. I've read reviews on it and used it for my laptop. Most people like me are very satisfied with their service and support. If your product is defective under their warranty they will issue you a box. They pay for Next Day Fed Ex all ways. Most people that send their PDA for service Monday have it back on Friday. If you are thinking of buying a PPC then don't hesitate to buy this one. It is very sleek and stylish. I like it a lot. If you want wireless connectivity I would get the next model up that has built in WiFi, or you could get a WiFi Compact Flash Card.

Clear Picture ... when it works
I received this as a gift for Christmas. The pictures do look great when they are loaded into flash memory. However, I've had several issues when trying to use this product:(1) Windows XP had a difficult time recognizing this device when I plugged it in. I had to unplug the USB and replug it back it which finally worked (with some help from my husband).(2) The user manual stinks. It provides very little detail on how to use the product or the features. It was of no help at all.(3) Once the pictures were loaded and unplugged from USB for viewing I couldn't get back to the main menu to switch from picture to video file viewing. I tried reloading the images a few times and no luck. It just comes up with a black speckly screen and then freezes.I would not recommend this product. It is a great idea, but I would try another brand. Mine is going back to the store.

Have you ever been in love?? She has or so she thought....
I laughed, I cried, I got angry, I related, I wanted more... This book tells a true story of love over a decade as the protagonist encounters many men with definite explicit escapades ( she is lucky!), only to have them leave her for another. If only she could figure out why she is consistently the "temporary adornment and momentary passionate arousal" then maybe she could understand what draws them to her. The second book (book first) is a truly inspiring story of her soulmate who left her one day forever ... I cant reveal the ending... Finally one can understand what drives this women , why she is too nice, why she doesnt confront. She interjects thoughts to her married peers. Being single- I can definitely understand what she undertakes. A great book. It's worth buying. Have you ever been in love... GET IT!!!

Made my nails dryer!
I did not buy it from Amazon. I tried to, but the seller was out of stock. So I looked elsewhere online, and was able to find it. I'm sorry I did. My nails felt HORRIBLE after applying this balsam. My nails felt more dry and brittle after applying it. So much so, that a couple of my nails literally broke off at the tips shortly after applying. And I did NOT break them. My nails had this "weird" feeling, almost as though this stuff drained the life out them, and were terribly dry. NO moisture at all. It seemed to do the exact opposite of what it was suppose to do. But to be fair, I bought another brand at another beauty store, and my nails felt the same way. So in reality, the nail balsam's dry your nails MORE! At least it's what it did to mine. My high hopes were shredded. I hope others have better results, but for me, I'm tossing this stuff.

Criterion Does it Again
This movie caused severe damage to me as a child. I had nightmares for days afterwards; I still have some residual terror because of it. Thanks to Criterion Collection I'm able to relive all that trauma. The film is fast paced and well made. The fiends are brains with attached spinal cords. They leap onto people and choke them within a few seconds. They are fast and many. There seems to be no escaping them and no way to stop them. And of course they mutiply and grow oh so fast. The black and white picture is crisp and clear; sound quality is excellent. There are many extras including some campy movie trailers from the same era/genre; there is commentary from from film' producer and genre film historian Bruce Eder. Thanks Criterion. You've done it again.

SEVEN STARS
Yes seven is the least this book deserves. It is laid out thoughtfully so the reader becomes familiar with its format effortlessly. There is absolutely no verbal or graphic fat anywhere. You see the effect you want; you read how to create it and it works. What more could you ask for?The author writes in a friendly, concise manner and lets the reader in on a few hard won facts. Follow the directions and even a novice can produce the beautiful effects. Along side each trick are sidebars containing Photoshop tips. It's just a great tool to have. I'm still shocked at some of the effects I've created while reading this book.Scott Kelby, the author, is also editor-in-chief of Photoshop User magazine, president of the National Association of Photoshop Professionals ( NAPP ), training director for the Adobe Photoshop Seminar Tour, and a great teacher. Don't be intimidated by his titles, however, he knows how to get the message across. You will only grow from reading this book.

The absorber creates life! Wait, that's not good!
I've owned my absorber less than 4 weeks, but I've performed 20 washes in that time frame. The product does a fine job absorbing water, and yes, it works differently than a chamois. Sadly, the product storage is not up to my expectation. I used it a week ago and followed the packaging "May be stored damp in tube -- so it's always ready to use (won't rot when kept wet in tube)." and when I removed it from the tube it had dark spots of mold and mildew across it. Ew, life smells funky.I thought, "No problem. I'll throw it in the washing machine." It washed, but the spots did not come out. I thought, "No problem. I'll soak it with a little bleach." It bleached, but the spots did not come out.I'm typing this with the smell of bleach still fresh and I'm thinking, "Really? Am I going to rub a moldy anything over the top of my car?" And I'm pretty sure I've put too much effort into the maintenance of this product. Maybe I should complete a video review...

Warning, these are NOTHING like the picture!
First of all, the flowers were badly squashed when we received them. They were in a flimsy plastic package, and the petals and leaves were bent and creased.The flowers are spaced much wider than they are in the picture. It looks cheap and sad. You'd definitely need to put two together to make it look decent.Finally, the lights on mine are red, not white as they are in the picture. This means the lights are barely visible even in the dark.The good points:* Battery operated, so there's no ugly cord hanging down.* Lights can blink or stay solid on.The bad points:* Flimsy and came crushed and creased.* Spaced poorly, making you need two strings for a lush appearance.* Red lights aren't attractive and aren't very visible.At a lower price, these might be acceptable. However, given the price I expected much better quality. I'm very disappointed. I would expect to find these at Big Lots or maybe a dollar store.

This is a white light not a warm light.
EDIT: This was a great bulb till it died a month later. I contacted the manufacturer and they stated they can not warranty the bulb, in spite of it stating a 2 Year Warranty on the package. They said I have to go through Amazon. Amazon states I can no longer return the bulbs.DO NOT BUY!I have found that these lights are pretty amazing. It meets the specs on the bulb. It uses very little electricity. It is a non-glare. The light is in the white spectrum, not the normal warm color of a floodlight.Problems that happen when people use these:1. They want a warm glow, like you would find in an incandescent.2. They want a bulb that pumps out the same amount of light, so they can't look at it like a normal bulb.I am using these bulbs in my kitchen. I am very happy as I replace the old incandescent bulbs. They do not seem as bright, but if you measure them with a light meter, it is labeled correctly.

Poor quality without supporting service
I totally agree with the other reviewers: the quality is very poor. damage the card in the beginning. very easy to lose small cards. very cheap made. does not worth $12. The idea is fun. But there are other better games at this price(I mean quality). BTW, there is no way to contact the seller or manufacturer. No phone number, no response. Do not buy this. Buy something made in U.S. At least you can talk to someone when there is a problem.

Uninspired. Major Disapointment
I was really excited when I ordered this. I've been a fan of Tull since back in the day. I recently picked up two of Ian's other solo works- The Secret Language of Birds and Rupi's Dance. Both of those discs were outstanding! I thought this would be a sure bet. I guess I should have listened to the preview clips more closely. I really don't know what some folks are thinking with all of these 5 star reviews. The performance is plodding and uninspired. The sound quality is really mediocre way compressed with no dynamics at all. Usually for these symphonic projects they go all out on production. This sounds like a cheap car radio.If you own a Blu-ray player and would like to hear some of these pieces at their best then I would highly recomend "Jethro Tull Live In Montreaux". It is fantastic! Great performances, fantastic sound. These discs cannot hold a candle.

Korn comes back with a bang!!!
This Korn album is incredible. I am very impressed, this is a true work of art. Korn's inspiration and creativity is showing through in its true colors. There are some songs on this album that grabbed me from day one. One of those songs is Wake Up Hate, its one of those songs that sticks out, and is absolutly incredible. I love Korn, I've loved them for a very long time, and I must say this only stregthens my love for them. I also got the DVD when I bought the CD, and it is very intersting, and I suggest you check it out. Its a maze that is a bit of mind screw, but wow, it will blow your mind. KORN RULES, and is one of the best bands in the world. This is their 5th CD, and they are only getting better. Keep up the GREAT work Korn.

Great guilty pleasure
Let's face it, Jason Mraz is pretty much like the B-rated version of John Mayer when he came out. It wasn't exactly like he was all that original when he came out. Nevertheless, I really liked the remedy when it came out when i first started high school. I thought it was creative, unique, and a very fun, upbeat style. I decided to listen to Jason Mraz again after a friend was a huge fan of his. I downloaded this album and thought most of the tracks were simply awesome! The songs were all simple(very little instrumentation, no synthsizers). But they all still tended to be catchy and upbeat. This guy does a great job of writing catchy songs that can appeal to a mass audience. There were def. a few surprises on this cd in terms of listening to it. I think anybody that's a pop music fan will def. love this cd!

amazing
I don't even know where to start. Anthony Rapp's book is wonderful! I began reading it between classes and wanted to skip my last class to continue reading! It was so easy to read and so interesting. I was sobbing through the last chapters. This book makes me ashamed of the way our society treats gay people. I just keep thinking about everything and saying wow. I have passed my copy along for friends to read. I can't wait until I have someone to talk about it with. This is a MUST read! It is AMAZING!!!!!

Best soccer game ever made.
What can I say that hasn't already been said about this gem? The music is perfect, and includes songs like Stop The Rock, which has a lot of "bass" and sounds "cool." The game itself is unsurpassed in two things: graphics and replayability. It is extraordinarily detailed, and no game then or since has been able to match that visual quality. Some of the players have discernible hair! As for the second, it's pretty self-explanatory: this game is addictive and amazing. You should really buy it right now. What are you doing? Why are you still reading this? There's an awesome game out there for a very low price, and you're reading a review? Stop! Go and buy it already!

It needs to be longer
People who think this movie was too long needn't bother watching it at all. Repeating the critics complaint makes you sound like a parrot. They are idiots too. I loved it and wished it wouldn't end. I didn't get lost in the story line at all, nor did my 13-year old. The sexual ennuendo did go over his head though. I enjoyed seeing that like the old time movies and cartoons had for adults. If you missed it, watch the scene when they go to the voodoo chile's hut. Depp even raises his eyebrows while looking at the camera... very funny. Somewhat Groucho-like. Thanks for remembering us grownups!

This book doesn't cover the steps needed to burn DVD's.
I do video production for a living. I am in the process of upgrading my business/equipment to include the ability to burn DVD's for my clients. This book didn't teach me the steps to accomplish this goal. This book was very general covering video production generalities, case studies, lots of technical jargon. I have a degree in television production, and the technical jargon in this book was WAY over my head. It did suggested some different DVD authoring programs for both a PC and MAC. Chapter 17 was the only chapter that really somewhat covered the differences in DVD-, DVD+, DVD+RW, DVD-RW, DVD-Rom, etc. But most of that chapter was hard to understand with technical terms that weren't really explained. I guess you could go thru the glossary and try to decifer the meanings, but I'd recommend looking for a different book. Out of the 304 pages, I found maybe 30 pages that were useful to me. I think I need one of those books for "dummies".

I was so excited about ordering this...
...until I got it. The leg was broken. There were NUMEROUS scratches and defects in the finish. It was uneven in a lot of places but particularly at seams. And the joints didn't really fit together. At one joint there was a gap about 1 cm in width. This is after waiting six weeks to get the item. Apparently they didn't have any in stock when I ordered it and it took 1 month for them to get it in stock. I sent them an email with attached photos of the damage and hope to get a full refund on the item. I'll post an update once the transaction is completed...but for now, I would definitely not pay the asking price of $650 for such inferior quality.UPDATE: Just got off the phone with the supplier. They are going to have FedEx come pick up the item tomorrow and issue a full refund. Couldn't ask for a better resolution to the issue. Highly recommend the seller- definitely don't recommend this item however.

A Working Single Mom Running a Successful Business, Solving Murders, and Battling Ghoulies
As if a main character named Emerald O'Brien isn't intriguing enough. Emerald O'Brien is a working single mom who's getting used to raising her two children without much support from their father (her ex-husband). She owns her own tea shop where she also provides warm meals and tarot readings. She also sees dead people, but she's okay with that. Until one night a woman appears to tell her that she'd been murdered by her husband. The next morning, Emerald reads that a local romance novelist died of natural causes. Emerald enlists the help of her children, her best friends, and a new (and of course single man) friend. They battle live murderers, paranormal ghoulies, and a busy Christmas shopping season in an entertaining and sometimes downright scary read. Think twice before reading this one in bed! A fun read. I'm looking forward to more Chintz & China Mysteries!

Slow, Ponderous Plus Change to Daughter Unsuccessful
This is a Wallander mystery but the WRONG Wallander. It is an attempt to shift the main character from the aging Kurt, star of all the other books, to his daughter Linda. Linda is not an interesting character. She is now thiry and starting out at Kurt's station herself. She is worried because a friend of hers, Anna, has seemingly disappeared. While trying to find Anna, she and her father wander into a hut which has the severed hands and head of another woman. This should ratchet up the pace and action of the book but it does not.There is a tremendous amount of interior dialogue in this novel. When it is Kurt having this soliloquies, it is ok. When it is Linda, it is boring. The dialogue in this book is the weakest aspect of the book with the leaden pace coming a close second. I can't recommend this book. The author is taking a step in the wrong direction with Linda as the lead character.

Don't believe the hype
Based upon the early word of mouth, I couldn't wait to read this book. Boy was I disappointed. The narrative style at the beginning of this book is awful. The beginning of the book has a narrator (that disappears in later chapters) that says things like, "Look, there is person x enjoying a roll, but he is of no consequence, instead let us follow person y. See her walk down the street. Look, she is entering a building. Does she live here?". Infuriating. Thankfully, the narrator goes away. Be warned though, the awful writing style continues. I can't say enough bad things about this book. I've sold my copy of this book, and I feel bad for inflicting its bulk on someone else. Run away!

Good blade on a poor handle
I really wanted to like this knife. The steel is fantastic and takes a good edge. I can slice paper into ribbons, cut corrugated boxes with ease, slice steel banding on pallets, whittle hardwoods, etc. Unfortunately, the mechanism is subpar. The knife opens easily but is very difficult to close. SOG has tried to emulate Benchmade's Axis lock and failed miserably. Also, when I tried to switch the clip for left handed use, the screw broke off at the head! I fixed it with super glue, but that doesn't exactly inspire confidence. The safety is stupid, as the knife will never accidentally open. I glued it unlocked with super glue as well. All in all an ok knife that would benefit from a better handle.

Keep a barf bag handy.
I am usually a huge fan of Chuck Palahniuk. However, this novel is... a little much. I like a little bit of twistedness. You'd have to if you like Palahniuk. His novels are very twisted. This one is beyond twisted. This isn't just "cringe-shudder-'ew'-out-loud" kind of twisted. This is "convulsing-and-reading-with-your-eyes-squinting-while-you-try-not-to-lose-it" twisted. I sincerely hope he tones it down a little bit for his next novel. I loved his other fiction. (notsomuch Stranger Than Fiction or the one about Portland.) Simply not a huge fan of cannibalism, murder, or self-mutilation. But if you are into that sort of thing, by all means, this is a VERY well written novel.

Looks are deceiving...
I can't write a review on the actual quality of the 5 videos included. What I am writing about is that the picture that is shown here is not what comes in the mail. All I got were the 5 DVD cases shrink wrapped together in plastic. Very disappointing since this is a Christmas gift. The picture makes it appear as though they all come in what looks like a nice box together. I actually had to go back to this site to make sure I even got the correct videos. What I got looks terrible. Once the plastic wrap gets removed, it will look like I just went to the store and picked random Red Sox videos off the shelf. It won't be any kind of a box set once the plastic peeled away. I should just return it but it took 2 websites and 3 tries to even get it. My guess is that they over sold their inventory so someone actually did run around and pull the videos, wrap plastic around them and pulled out the hair dryer! Cuz that's what I got!

Lone Hold Out
I may be the lone hold out, but.... on my Samsung DLP , the transfer is terrible. I am of the opinion that the HD transfer is also enhancing the grain of a thirty year old movie. The DNIe engine in my Samsung is making that grain more enhanced. Any family scenes in the house look like they're in a snow storm. Other than that the outdoor scenes are great, and the colors and sound are awesome. If you have a Samsung DLP, though, you will have to watch it with the DNIe off. The picture is not as sharp, but the snow is not as bad. By the way, I looked at the regular DVD version in the same Blu- Ray player and there was a little grain, but no snow... with the DNIe engaged. 32 dollars wasted? Hard to say at this point. Anybody else having this problem?

Happy Birthday Paul Reubens!
I can't get why Pee-wee Hurman got the credited in the credits as himself when its really Paul Reubens playing him. As the movie opens, Pee-wee (Paul Reubens) is in the tour de France and Pee-wee wins the race. It's a dream I guess. He gets up and his fortune says him Don't leave the house today. He has pancakes, bacon and toast for breakfeast and pours some cereal over his pancakes with bacon has a mouth. Now remember this is a comedy. After a few bits, Pee-wee goes outside and gets a offer from his bike by a rich man's son (Mark Holton). It's his birthday and he wants Pee-wee's bike. Pee-wee turns down the offer. He goes to two diffrent stores. He goers to Mario's magic shop where the owner tells Pee-wee he has some new stuff that Pee-wee might be like. He disappears in a puff of smoke and comes back. After that he goes to Chuck's o-rama to pick up his horn. And tells dottie who works there "I'm a loner... a rebel."

Only good if you haven't seen the original.
I'll be short. The original was the best. The coach was a slacker and was throughout the movie. In this one Billy Bob seems to try to mimic Walter Matthau and the rest as well. The original was racy and risky. This one at the final game all of a sudden both coaches are mean? It just didn't work. None of it worked. I like Billy Bob and I was able to finish the movie. But come on. When Joeys mother was like "I'm taking Joey home right now", was a joke. It just didn't work.

Intense Relationships!
Shirley MacLaine (Artists and Models), Kathy Bates, Jessica Tandy (Cocoon, Driving Miss Daisy), Sylvia Sidney (Mars Attacks), Doris Roberts (Everybody Loves Raymond). I have recently started watching Fellini films with Marcello Mastroianni. He is perfectly cast to romance Shirley MacLaine. Kathy Bates (Titanic, Misery) is always wonderful as far as I'm concerned. She really has met her match with Shirley MacLaine. Kathy Bates has been playing more crazy mother roles now, this is great to see her on the receiving end. This movie is comparable to Moonstruck, Steel Magnolias and even Terms of Endearment. Marcia Gay Harden is incredibly funny dressing up as by gone movie stars. I can't tell you all the great parts but Jessica Tandy, Doris Roberts, everyone is wonderful. "You need trees? You gonna climb them?"

4 + Great Followup
Though this wasnt entirely as good as 'Aggretion' it is damn close. Brutal set would be Kreators last full CD on a major label in America. They really only got heavier on Columbia records, which was amazing. People see 'Pleasure' as their heaviest, but i disagree. Especially given that CD's weak production. The 'Aggression', 'Coma' years were much heavier musically, and much better sounding sonically.This set smokes. Must have for metal-heads. Kreator never got their due in the states, but they were and still are great at thrash. Just great stuff. I have come to only appreciate them more as the years go on.And speaking of thrash, it doesnt get much better than on tracks like 'Agents of Brutality', 'Hidden Dictator' and 'Twisted Urges'. The straight forward stuff like 'People of the Lie' and 'Coma of Souls' is excellent as well. The lyrics didnt much matter, as this was German thrash, but the heaviness and great production and sound quality of this disc cant be denied.

Wow, this is Cr@p!
Almost to bad to laugh at. A one time viewing. Plot: "A man returns home from work to find his wife in bed with another man. Doesn't take long for him to lose his sanity." YAWN. How boring. The acting is very unbelievable and lame. I found myself laughing at some of the dialogue and acting in this. It was just so horribly funny. The weirdest thing I found about this film was the fact that Backstreet Boys star, A.J. McLean is in this. He plays the guy that goes insane when he has flashbacks of when he was a kid. Man, I have no idea what that A.J. mofo was doing with this movie, but I can see why he doesn't act anymore. So now all he has to do is STOP SINGING! This is a pathetic "film" and should be viewed only as trash, but it's a cheezyfest that will keep you laughing all night.

Boring Boring Boring and Overrated.
An "OK" game. It was groundbreaking when it came out, but it's a game that outlived its welcome. The biggest reason why this game is still considered the greatest is because of how innovative it was. There is no denying that. However, the gameplay is difficult. You WILL get lost. You WILL get confused. It's inevitable. There's no aids to helping you if you're lost. I've actually had to start the game over twice because what was supposed to be happening never did. It's an alright game if you're bored. But there are WAY better RPG's on the PS1. Legend of Dragoon, for example.

Good maybe once
The Chinese quality of this product is horrible. This Performance tool is sold by most of the auto parts stores, Auto Zone, O'Reilly, Advance. I used it once and the included crows foot started to bend open and allow the head of the bolt to twist inside. I could feel it doing this and luckily got it on. The 15mm crows foot was no longer "u" shaped. I got lucky it worked. With some concern, I later decided to change another belt using the crows foot. Big mistake, i got the old belt off and never could get it back on because the crows foot was wide open. I had to get a ride to the store to purchase a $25 set of crowsfeet to complete the job. The steel is way to soft in this set. Get the Lisle tool, the make a couple of different types. Don't be tempted by this price, I have lost money on it.

DISGUSTING, SEXIST AND DEGRADING! THIS BELONGS IN THE TOILET
I truly hate this recording. There is nothing in creation to recommend it and I find it offensive, disgusting and sexist. It is not only an insult to women. This repulsive recording is an insult to anybody with a conscience and more than a modicum of intelligence. This has no redeeming features and the sound is horrendous. I'd rather hear JACKHAMMERS! Some beat! It is ruthless, relentless and just plain atonal and completely lacking in talent. What on earth would compel anybody to own this? I had the misfortune of hearing it at a party and I hope I never am so auditorally punished again. I HATE THIS RECORDING!

Pure garbage.
I cant understand how this tripe garnered good reviews from other readers! it is disjointed, fails to lay an articulate foundation, weakly wanders around a "plot", fails to develop characters both new and known, and is insulting! The crew finds God, no wait! They find a raceof protoGods. No wait! Let's teach them about life and creation! Kirk is so awesome he teaches God about being God! Rediculous, insulting, boring, and dissapointing all at once. I haveread hundreds of Trek books, and a few by Ms Duane. i have seldomly hated a book this much, and never before a Trek book. avoid this drivel if you are looking for a good read. Trek books are not meant to be spirtual self help books andshould not try.

Pretty reminisent of Blues in the Night! Potenial Spoilers
Grave Endings and Blues in the Night are the only Molly Blume books I have read. They have so many of the same plot details it is ridiculous. Supposed suicide, check, mysterious journal pages, check, another supposed family member suicide, check, only Molly thinks it wasn't a suicide, check! Conners doesn't believe her, check. Rich bad guy, check. Landlord lets her in the apartment, check. How many people would actually do that!! Come on, think of some other possibilities. And not to be too picky, but I listened to the audio version and the narrator had a cold through the whole thing. She had a stuffy nose and it was irritating to listen to. I just keep wishing she would blow her nose!!! By the end of the book, I couldn't believe that Zach would actually marry her after she made it clear that her wedding was not a top priority.

Wright's Most Mature Effort to Date
Chely Wright is back with her first new album in three and a half years. Her first album for Dualtone Records. The title is THE METROPOLITAN HOTEL, a title Chely says is inspired by a hotel she stayed in England while she worked on the album. The album is very different from her other Nashville albums. This one is still country but much more of an artistic endeavor than a commercial one. The first few singles have slumped up the charts, with "Bumper of my SUV" cracking the top 40 a few months ago. The first single was "Back of the Bottom Drawer", which got a lukewarm reception on country radio. Her newest single is the moving ballad "The River". Other moving ballads include "Wheels" and "Between a Mother And A Child". The album closes nicely with "What If I Can't Say No Again", a personal favorite of mine. Overall a strong album from Chely Wright.

WAY off the deep end...
Without a doubt, the WORST book I've read on Freemasonry, history, the Founding Fathers . . . or the Feminist movement. This guy has his own agenda, and it's just . . . weird. The first part of the book is mildly entertaining, and I found myself sort of interested. Then he goes off on a surrealistic tangent that is beyond comprehension. I suspect this guy spent WAY too much time in San Francisco in the sixties hangin' out with Timothy Leary and has done WAY too much Purple Haze and Four Way Window Pane. Save your money. Buy anything else.

Makes a great drinking game!
Here are the rules: 1) Every time a character says or does something that's supposed to be funny but comes off completely lame instead-take a swig. 2) Every time the movie veers off into some completely random direction that has absolutely nothing what-so-ever to do with anything, take a swig. 3) Every time a transformer does a somersault or twist in the air in slow motion before attacking-take a swig. Follow these simple rules and you'll be bombed 15 minutes in. Seriously. While watching this movie I kept thinking how many millions of dollars were spent to provide us with idiotic jokes about red coffee cups in yellow rooms and effeminate assistants with Russian accents. Every time I see one of these movies, it saddens me. Given the insane visuals-tight, more serious stories could have really made this series into something amazing. Unfortunately that's not the case. At least there's no leg humping in this one. That's something I guess...

Riovolt SP250
This is a great product. First, the Pros. It comes with earbuds and headphones, a travel case w/strap, rechargeable batteries and charger, and firmware. Playback is great; some previous reviews say that sound is horrible; this is because they plugged their headset into the wrong slot. MP3 playback is as good as normal playback. FM radio is excellent. The equalizer really makes a difference. This thing has, like, 500 different shuffle modes too. A very advanced player. My only complaint is that it comes with garbage for instructions. You have to go to the support site and work your way to the online manual for good instructions. The LCD has a nice backlight and while you usually cannot see a song's whole title, it will scroll by in a second. I would not reccomend jogging with it, though, as it has no real good place to hold it and has a slick covering.You will probably want your own headphones.

Welcome back Justice League!
I've missed the Justice League since the series went off. I still can't understand why that happened. I was very excited when I found out about this feature. I've watched "Crisis on Two Earths" twice now and I love it. The action is great. Although Batman's voice is different, I like his appearance. I'm not sure why they keep changing voice actors. Mark Harmon was better than expected. The story was well written and the violence and very mild profanity were appropriately in context. Bruce Timm is the master Engineer of the DC animated universe and has "done it again". I found myself cheering for the good guys - That's the kind of movie I like. If only they would let this crew do the live action films we wouldn't have such ridiculous efforts as "Superman Returns" and "Dark Knight".

Don't Knock Monty Until You've Spent Time With Him
I read the book The Man Who Listens To Horses and say the PBS special on Shy Boy. Then I attended two seminars a year apart. I got to talk to Monty and "read" his face and body language. People give themselves away by their actions. After meeting Monty, studying him and learning his methods, I have a very strong tendency to believe him. I was an abused child and most of the beatings by my parents were never known about by the neighbors. The other forms of abuse were also hidden until the cops finally caught my dad and sent him to prison where he belonged. I've never really recovered but I vowed my children would not be raised like me. Nor would my animals be treated to breaking with spurs and whips. Monty's methods worked on every horse I have. The horses are so much more trustworthy when they believe they can trust humans. Over the last four years the Monty Roberts method is the prime method we use on our ranch.

And that's for the book designer!
Ok, I guess amazon has this thing that if it's a REALLY nasty review, they won't post it. This is my 3rd time, and I will NOT stop until it's been posted. This is a terrible book. Lemony should sue. They should be ashamed. The ONLY, and I mean, ONLY reason this was posted because they think the Lemony-copiers are gonna sell. It's so stupid. I can't express how much i hated this book. I stopped reading on the last chapter. There was NO suspension, or meaning for me to read. The reason I was reading after the first chapter was cause I needed some school points and I paided with my own money! Don't buy this book! It has no plot and it is NOT funny!

Still going after 15 years
I bought one of these 15 years ago. My mother still has hers from 25 years ago. I home can every year, jams, salsas and veggies and this makes my canning experience so much easier. This is the most used piece in my kitchen. It is super easy to use. No dials, or trying to remember what level of slice I used last time. Just pop in the depth gauge you need for thin or medium slice or the large or small shred blades and USE the hand guide. When you are done, just a quick hand wash, dry and all the bits go back into the handy caddy it comes in. I am getting one for each of my kids so when they move out, they will have one for their kitchens. The price is excellent, they last forever (mine is still sharp after 15 years)and they are super convenient. I recommend this slicer to all of my friends.

A Must Have!
I received my Handspring Visor Deluxe today and it is so easy to use. I have already memorized the Graffiti. Hotsyncing is also really easy and extremely fast! Get it NOW. You won't regret it. It is a great deal. The slim leather case is normally around $25. You can't get much better than that. Some people say the slim leather case makes it look bulky. It is not bulky at all to me. If you want to see bulky, take a look at the oldest laptop there is. It is the best. You name it, it can probably do it. This is a great product especially if you want to be organized. Great job Handspring!

Extremly under rated.
This movie is a must see. It is rare to find a movie so passionate based on real events. This story is real life, that is what makes it so emotional. Hotel Uganda is the closest comparision I can make to this movie. It is very sad that this movie did not go national release instead it was a limited to a few theaters across the united states. This is no B-movie, high quality throughout, and a story that needs to be told.Joseph Kony is the biggest child murderer in history. Yet because it is Africa no one cares. Feeling sorry for them, saying words of support, that is not enough. If you want to help people, give. Give money, give time. They don't need words, they need action. This is still happening everyday.One of the most troubling but true to life parts of the movie is the donation solicitation. You see how much these people have, yet how little they are willing to give.Rent this movie. Enjoy it. Then do something about it.

your mileage may vary
I bought this TV base on its positive reviews. And I was pretty satisfy with its performance. Both picture quality and viewing angle are comparable to much higher price units. Unfortunately my TV died within two months. The unit won't power on and I'm force to deal with olevia support. Olevia say they will ship out a power unit to me and then I have to call back to schedule a tech to install it. It's been 3 weeks and I still don't have the part. And get this, I live within 10 miles of Olevia's warehouse! Olevia support's hold time is at least 20 minuts each time you call. I say buying a olevia is more of a roll of the dice. If you get a working one then you're fine. However, if anything goes wrong with it, then be prepare to be without your TV for a long time.

Okay
Is it me or did the main character spend half the book crying? Jeez. It was an alright book. Basically it was about a woman who was trying to succeed in a company partnered with two men who had very strong opinions about authority. She ends up meeting a one-time hit rap artist who is interested in her. In the mean time, she has an unattentive fiancee and another ex-fiancee that she hasn't quite gotten over. Three men circle her love life in different ways and her mother may have cancer too. When it rains, it pours. The rap artist was an interesting guy, and I was more interested in him and his history with her two male co-workers than I was with her. She spent too much time crying and cheating for me. After awhile, I was just bored with her.

No gain, All PAIN!
Wont waste too much time on this. It aint worth it !1. The scanner is darn slow.2. Go for scanning dark slides and you are in for a real shock. No amount of 'Gamma Correction' or 'Hue/Brightness/Contrast Setting' would set it right.3. WORST EVER Technical Support. The only free support is email based. Whats worse is that the site doesn't have this 4900 model mentioned in some of its driver updates section. Free Technical support is only for Installation - that too only for the first 90 days. All others s 15$ incidental !4. Talk about using the good scanning software like VueScan or SilverFast and u'r in for another surprise ! None support this scanner.I have been sitting before this piece non-stop for the past 3 days. Just cant figure out how can anything be sooo horrible. This piece goes back and I can finally have some peace of mind !

Makes Fidelio meaningful
I too saw this Metropolitan opera production on TV. It is further proof that the production can make all the difference. It also shows that anachronistic productions can make preeminent sense. My first experience of Fidelio was an older, traditional production on VHS, I believe from Glyndenbourne. It left wondering why Fidelio was in the repertoire.This production helped me to understand. It is set somewhere between 1950 and 1970, judging by the dress and guns, in a unidentified fascist state.The only weak spot in the casting is that Florestan (played by Heppner?) is not physically convincing as a starving prisoner. But his singing is fine. Other characterizations are superb. Pizarro (played by someone I don't recognize) is suitably evil. Mattila deserves all the praise in the top review.

Funneee!!!
I didn't see this dvd, but did catch the special on Comedy Central last night. At first I was gonna change the channel, and was so glad I didn't. I loved his stuff about Hot Pockets, funny funny funny!! I absolutely LOVED his Inside Voice... "Hey, I like the IHOP!" "He's a crackhead!" "His pants look dirty." "Baloney hater!" "He better not!" One thing I really appreciated about his act was that it's clean, not vulgar or profane. It's something you can enjoy with your kids or elderly family members and not get embarrassed watching it. Humor in Hot Pockets, who knew?!

You know what...people just don't know how to watch a good movie.
Listen. Do you like DeNiro? Do you like Pacino? Do you like Cop films? Do you like the cinematography of Jon Avnet? If you said yes to these, then you will like this movie. Ok, it is not an academy award winner. But it is still an excellent movie. News Flash: Not all movies have to be the deep, well written dialogue, etc. "works of art" that most people seem to think they like. I enjoyed this because I enjoy movies. So, if you are a fan of movies, then you will enjoy this. You want something more deep and less entertaining, then go to a museum.

yet another great CD from Ralph!
This is the 5th CD from Ralph's World. This one is outstanding (and so are the others). The lyrics are fun, catchy, kids LOVE IT! As an adult who is really into good music, I can't believe how talented these musicians are. I find myself forgetting to change discs after dropping my son of at preschool as I get back in the car and continue to singalong. I even hum "Fi Fi Fo Fum" and LA LA DI DA from "Treehouse Orchestra" after the kids are in bed. "We are Ants" is another winner. My youngest loves "Old Man Dan" because of the repeating Humbug chorus.What can I say. Ralph's great. I've seen him LIVE twice in NYC and he's just the nicest guy too. He has a true talent, like I've never seen before in kids music.

From a English Tea Drinker
Well, I can honestly say this book has been a God send for me. I knew absolutely nothing about Coffee before this book and drank mostly instant. I got a taste for "real" coffee by frequenting the odd Coffee House with friends. I wanted to know how I could make a delicious drink like those I purchased. Thanks to this book - I now can! This is a very interesting read and takes the reader right through from growing the beans to serving. I have since purchased an Expresso machine and my friends LOVE to have coffee at my house. I am still learning and I have received other tips to improve my brew from other books but I owe my initial success to this book. GREAT for an absolute beginner and I suspect interesting to the more experienced. Thanks Corby! I'm no longer Tea Total :-)
