Junk!
Yet another pile of trash to come out of Hollywood. This movie was horrible for the following reasons:1. Garbage storyline.2. Way too cliche but what do you expect coming out of Crappywood?3. Boring (I started to fall asleep during this one).4. NOT scary at all.5. Too much "politically correct" nonsense. Hollywood needs to stop pushing it's dirt-ridden agenda and let people think for themselves. Time to wake up people and stop letting these scumbags in Hollywood dictate what you see in movies/television.It's a shame what kind of trash is passed off as entertainment in this day and age. The people in Hollywood really are a disgrace. Too bad most of the target audience is brainwashed to accept this filth without a second thought. This movie was an absolute waste of money but I'm glad I only rented it from Amazon. If I had actually bought the DVD then it would be sitting in the dumpster where it belongs with the rest of Hollywood.

Cute and Fun
Viewing this disc returned me to my childhood. I felt ten again, watching the TV on a lazy Summer afternoon. But, in CoLoR & 3D. WOW! They did a great job of creating a realistic depth of field. It felt natural. I had not seen any of the 5 episodes featured. Yes, the Little Rascals were corney and a bit predictable. I love the silly accidental way that they have of getting out of a jamb. It wasn't intended to be serious. After all it was during the depression Era. The kids were dirt poor but didn't let that get them down. They were the Kings of recycling and innovation. This disc is great fun for kids and parents alike. Don't foget to throw some popcorn around the room.

A Revolutionary Game
Enter the Matrix isnt just a game, its an interactive movie. Its the first game of its kind. The movie, The Matrix Reloaded, is told through three medias, the movie which gives u the general story, the animatrix which is 9 short storys about the matrix, and this game, which gives u an hour of footage that u can see no where else. Its a brilant concept yet how is the gameplay. I really dont see why so many reviews had problems with this game. In fact i think it controls great and it is fun. U actually feel like inside the matrix with all the cool movies Niobe or Ghost can perform. The only flaw this game has is you can blow through it with either character in about five hours. So in total its about 10 of gameplay. But its worth it. If u havent boughten it yet, go get it.

One of my all time favorite movies
I am a grown woman but have a soft spot for this movie. I could watch it everyday till the day I die and never get sick of it. The soundtrack I even like. Micheal Keaton is amazing in everything. I must warn you though, bring the tissues. I cry like a baby during this movie. It's sad. A struggling musician who dies when his son Charlie is 11 on christmas. Then a year later things are hard for Charlie and Gab (the wife). Jack (the dad) comes back as a snowman and freaks Charlie out. It gives a good message. You can always talk to someone when they're in your heart. Never let go of that. One of my personal favorites.

surprisingly excellent
If Percy Jackson is an American version of Harry Potter, Anand is Indian version of Harry Potter. This time, they time travel. It's like Inception except for not dreams but time traveling. Inception, they dream within the dream. In this book, they time travel within time travel.As her first book, there's Eastern philosophy sprinkled like jewels throughout the book. The great healer said "We realize that from time to time a civilization must come to the end - perhaps through a bloody war, or the rampage of disease. The world has her rhythms, both peaceful and violent. We know we much not upset her balance as she sways between pain and joy. We try, where possible, to bring comfort to those who suffer, but we intervene actively only when evil stirs."Any Boy, did evil stirred! This is great fantasy book, not too scary for kids who scares easily - very well written.

This is truly great television...
My wife and I love this show. We're completely addicted. After watching the PBS version of the first few episodes on TV, we went to order the blu rays. When I saw that there were two different versions and the comments about them, I ordered the UK versions. They are SO much better than the PBS version. Some plot points are even missed in the edited PBS version. You also get to see a lot more of the house, which is so beautiful, in the UK version. The only comment I would make is that this particular version of the blu ray does not appear to have the Christmas special. However, the same seller I purchased from had the UK version of that for $26, not the $50 of another version. Anyway, enjoy, but know that if you want EVERY drop of Downton Abbey goodness, you'll have to order Christmas at Downton Abbey separately. That's also the only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5.

Nowhere near Body of the Life Force...but keeps underground
This album lacks the creativity, and the beats that made Body of the Life Force so good. One thing this album does continue with is Afu-Ra's skills on the mic, and his lyrics. That's why this album gets 4 stars. This ain't no commercial crap relying on pop beats to make people like it. The beats arent as good here, but the lyrics u could listen to for days and never get sick of the album. This is not anywhere near as good as Body Of The Life Force, but it's still a solid album. The best song here has got to be Perverted Monks. Afu-Ra rips it up on that track, and it probably has the best beat on the album. The other best tracks are Hip-Hop, Scat Man, Lyrical Monster, and Crossfire. If you copped Body Of The Life Force, don't expect another underground classic like that. This ain't a bad album at all, in fact it's a solid album, just the bar was set extremely high after his debut, and this did not reach it.

Horrible
I have been a big fan of the Resident Evil games since the beginning. This is by far the worst RE game to date. The other characters that you interact with are extremely annoying. They constantly repeat the same few words over and over again. They also seem to die rather quickly, even against weak enemies like the zombies. Moving from room to room will also make you angry. You can take a nap in the amount of time from when you open the door to a room and actually step in it. Maybe it's just me, but the controls seem to have become worse too. The kick and tackle commands are next to useless, and most of the camera angles just plain suck. I am very disappointed with this game. Horrible job on this one Capcom. I wish I could give it 0 stars.

Amusing.....
This is a characteristic action movie. To begin with, it is some different from other ordinary action films. One of main character that is Robert DeNiro, is killed in the middle of the film. This film is quite interesting. The murderers kill people to make money, and broadcasting company use them. It shows morally bankrupt broadcasting companies that can¡t think of anything but a scoop. So, they conclude agreement with the murderers to make a scoop. At first, this film was little bit boring, but it become to make tense and be interesting. At the last, it finishes stubbornly that murderer was punished as a conventional ending. Of the action films I have seen recently, I think, it is the most interesting and peculiar film. It looks like a common action movie, but it has a harsh criticism for broadcastings. Anyway, it is a well-made and funny movie.

13 year old Zeon
(This game) consists of horrible repetetive tasks such as hitting switches, retrieving items, bad-guy beat 'em up, and dee-dee catching. Again and again and again. Does it sound boring enough? No you say? Well how about the fact that when you finally complete a puzzle, minutes after dinner you boot it up, only to find that you must do it again!?! Oh yeah, fighting robots like this is lame. Or how about catching D-D one-by-one and returning her to the molecular bla-bla tube five times in a row? That is not my idea of a good game. Also the graphics could have been better. Bam(company that made this game), you have once again failed, I think your game is boring. Only good in long, lame car trip sessions. Do not tell your friends you have this game, it's embarassing. Not for teens, only fans 7-11 yrs. old.

Great "intermediate" tape
Denise Austin was the first instuctor to get me up and exercising. I find her particular style easier to take than most instructors who have unnaturally thin bodies (why are they always topped by unnaturally well padded chests?). She's enthusiastic, knowledgeable and "real". This particular tape was one that I looked forward to and actually sought out. I bought her book "Fit and Fabulous after 40" and love it. The tape should have been the adjunct to the book. It's a great tape. A great workout. Intermediate, not beginners. The aerobics is all floor, no step. The toning is well instructed and it has her usual great warmup and cool down. And it was also issued under the title "Age Defying/Baby Boomers Workout". Very disappointing when you find the workout is same as one you already own under a different title (no indication on the cover that it's been re-issued). My recommendation is buy it, unless you already have it!

Handy Little Gadget...
It beats doing it the old fashion way and the cutter is sweet, but it could be better.1. It slips off if you go too fast, but I thought that was the purpose of using a gadget like this.2. It didn't come with much of any instructions, so I was using it wrong at first. There is a big and a small slot.3. The cutter is so that I pinched my finger during use. The cutter works great, you just have to be careful.4. The screw that holds it on keeps coming loose. Sure I can tighten it, but it just means the design could be better.All and all it's one of those must have gadgets, but it does require a little discipline to master. I hope the next version comes with a soft, rubber insert so it doesn't scratch the chrome off my turner pegs. That and maybe they could use a long screw and some Loctite to keep it from coming loose. And well, maybe they could offer it in more colors to make it easier to find. Everything I have seems to be jet black.

REAL GOOD, DIDN'T EXPECTED!!!
This was a very well made movie with quality acting by all. The description of the movie does not tell the whole story. There is much more to the story line that is very interesting. There's a lot of tension and a few bloody scenes, mainly dead sheep. Dorothy is a "gifted" young girl who many believe is under demonic control. A doctor comes to comes to her home after a disturbing incident Dorothy has while babysitting. The doctor believes Dorothy has multiple personalities. This is when the story really takes shape and draws you in. What is really Dorothy's gift??? You will have to watch the movie to find out. Very entertaning story and well worth a watch.

How? It makes it like a regular card, cept you punch the 2 little buttons on it to change "cards". it's kinda like 50 memory cards in one. Get it! It's the only memory card you'll need! and for the price? It may sound like alot, but it's better than having to buy 50 of the others!

Looking for a good book?
Well, if you are, don't choose this. Choose any of the books it's based off of. From the start, this book feels like its been recycled (Even down to the names. Aragorn/Eragorn.)I bought this book after reading a number of reviews on the web and in the paper which heralded it as an amazing work of fantasy. And yet, after reading it, I was rather... put out. It's decent, yes, but its certaintly nothing new. Honnestly, I'm impressed that parts of it even made it though editing.Anyway. If you're just looking for a book to waste time with, I'd suggest a series that is less traditional. If you're looking for good Fantasy, I'd suggest a series that's, well, good fantasy. Not a rip off of it.Anyways. Yes. If you really do want to read this book, or really any other book, make sure you check with the book reviews that focus on its genera. I know that's something I'm going to do henceforth.

ONE WRONG TURN , ONE NASTY MOVIE!!
see, these are the reasons you stay away from the woods, the mountains, the backwood town, places you don't know where the hell they're going. one wrong turn might just be one dead end. a young hot group of people, inbred monsters, missing hikers, and nowhere near civilization can make for a very interesting horror flick. not to mention it hits close to reality. you know there's just some kind of stuff like this in the world somewhere. this group gets stranded, they go out to find some help, instead they find a few cannibals. now they have to run for their lives, all of them not making it of course. good story, nice thrills, good actors. eliza dushku, she's a bad girl in this flick. i give her respect, and desmond harrington, man that boy does his thing here. my hero. he manages to keep the light on him. and jeremy sisto, no i didn't like his ending. his acting was good, as always, but he didn't have to go out like that. other than that, enjoyed it.

I hope more people catch this anime.
Maia lives in a world covered mostly by water. She's been having a rough time. Getting rejected by the Ocean Agency, eviction, and the death of her only relative, her grandfather. She's taken in by a group of investigators that will do anything for the right price. All of her coworkers are pretty quirky and crazy. She's a tough little thing so she sticks with it and has fun, even if she doesn't realize it. She has amnesia. Her family apparently died in an accident years before. But there is a dangerous secret the Ocean Agency is keeping from her. Can she regain her memory and remember the truth. And what will happen if she does.This anime is a lot of fun. There is plenty of drama and action. The laughs keep coming too. These scantily clad chicks never stop getting into danger. The animation and the voice acting in this series is good. Maia is a very compelling heroine she really makes you care about her. I enjoyed this anime and I hope you do too.

So low budget, it turned into a comedy!
I bought this for my wife for Xmas due to the fact that she is a huge zombie genre fan. I like most of them as well. This movie was hilarious. It was so low budget. The cinematography was horrible, lots of empty street shots and terrible angles on the filming. There also was never any detail in the plot besides zombies running around (very fast, unlike Romero zombies) eating people etc. The acting was horrible, no improvisation. It seemed as though everyone was reading word for word from a script. The national guard actors were so funny. Being an army vet myself, I found it funny that the guys were wearing 1990 style uniforms with beards and double barrel shotguns for weapons in some cases. Nothing more to say, simply horrible and low budget. However , if you want a good laugh, check it out. It was fun to make fun of it.

Think About It...
I love Quantum Leap. Until the pass year or so, i'd never heard of this show. I actually saw it for the first time flipping through the channels late one night. Now, i'm not one of those people who think "Sci-Fi channel!! Kick A$$!" no... not at all.... but after seeing scott bakula, i had to give this show a chance and i now am in love with this show. Its funny and sweet. I love Scott(Sam) and Dean(Al). I defiantly recommend this show. There's nothing better. I already own the first 3 seasons, i have this 4th one on pre-order and can't wait for the 5th, even though sadly that will be the end.... :( Give it a chance... at worst if you don't like it you can re-gift it or sell it on E-bay....<3 Dacia (Day-Sha)

Breakaway from the Old.... Embrace the New....
Having purchased her last album, I had no idea whatsoever as to what to expect from her sophomore album. Her last cd was very pop... and, sadly, it had but a few good songs. I was cautious to buy this album, but after hearing "Breakaway" and "Since U Been Gone", I knew there had to be something different. I was right... this album is just as the title suggests. She broke away from her old style and its restrictions and has directed her music to a more rock, hard-driven pop style. I am so pleased with this cd that it almost seems necessary to leave it in my cd player. If any listener liked her first two singles, he/she will love what remains on this album.The memorable, the great, and the masterpieces...1. Breakaway2. Since U Been Gone3. Behind These Hazel Eyes4. Because of You5. Gone6. Addicted7. Where Is Your Heart8. Walk Away9. You Found Me10. Beautiful Disaster (Live) (Recycled from her 1st album...better than the original)

WHAT?
(...)I have this game and it is my favorite game in the whole world! And to the readers who actually want to find something out about this game I'll tell you. This is a great game for kids who can't have dog or are too little to take care of one. These dogs never age, so they are always a puppy, and you can keep it as long as you want! It never dies, never ages, it's the perfect pet! I have golden retriever named Daisy. You can do all sorts of things and have up to eight dogs! In most states that's is against the law! You can keep three in your home and 5 at the hotel. See the game packet for more details. ENJOY!

Has potential, BUT...!
I remember when I bought this how angry I was that it did not come with a power adapter. What kind of a company would do that? Then, the power button did not work. I returned it two times. Same thing! I'm sure other parents had the same problem therefore. Indeed, reviews bear this out. This toy or company won awards I think. I couldn't believe it! Several years later, I just tried using it again for my younger children. Now, even the controllers do not work well. The games themselves also have a very low budget "feel" to them. The whole thing is junk. As a result, I decided I will never buy any vtech product again, phones included, and have not since. Too, bad, the toy had potential to be a good learning tool.

Easy to Use, Works Great
I did a lot of research on wireless transmitters before finally deciding on this one. I had it in my Amazon cart for a while, then my satelite radio went out, and then this became a necessity. Works right out of the box, I just plugged it in an set to 87.9. No static or any other problems. (Only if you put the mp3 player too close to the adapter) The extra adapter is a life saver. I've used it to charge my phone or run my GPS system. I also have a separate DC split adapter and can use three products at once (kids dvd player, GPS, and charge my phone). I have a Sansa clip (1G), and it works just fine. I do have to turn the volume up high on the Sansa clip. The the quality of the music at times, is even better than the satelite radio. I've had it for 5 months, with no problems.

does what it should 100%, extras on the other hand...
I'm usually a Sony kind of guy, but it is an excellent bd player, does what is should, plays discs! As for extras, Samsung has a very limited and poor selection of addons. It doesn't seem like they care to provide more in the future either. As for the unit, it has very limited add-on memory, is very slow to load and run apps, but overall they do work at least! Very nice power-saving options... I.e. turn off panel leds and display after timeout (hey 20ma per led adds up!), etc.. It's a bit needlessly big, not sure why people still think bigger is better. Touch panel works like a charm. Remote is okay, was hoping I would only need one remote since my tv is also a Samsung with similar remote, but navigation can be a pain, even with Samsung bd-wise anynet+ system linkup. Overall, if you are not tech-savvy, you will like it. If you're a geek, you'll wanna hack it!

Useless product
I just bought this product today and after charging it it only took me about an hour to decide i would be returning it. The reception is abolutely terrible. I would much rather listen to an FM radio because at leat that way I can get constant reception. I live in a fairly populated area and would expect reception to be decent at best. This is the first satelite radio I have owned so I cannot comment on how well it works compared to others. I have also not tried it in my car yet. If you are planning on carrying this with you when you walk around, you must have music recorded. You cannot listen to it live even with the portable antenna cliped to your shirt. I was extremely disapointed with this product and would strongly recomend for people to wait until they get reception issues cleared up a little better. It is a real shame that this product had so much potential and turned out to be such a flop!!

I THOUGHT WHEN THE MOVIE STARTED THEY WERE CHURCH GOING TEENS, TRYING TO STAY CELEBATE. BUT IT WAS A HIGH SCHOOL. I THOUGHT THAT HOLE CONCEPT WAS SO STUPID. WHAT HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS WOULD DO SOMETHING THAT RIDICULAS? I THOUGHT IT WAS FUNNY WHEN SHE WENT TO THE DOCTORS OFFICE FOR A CHECK UP. BUT CORRECT ME IF IM WRONG. IF A WOMAN HAS A MAN DOCTOR AND HE'S LIKE EXAMING HER, SHOULD THERE NOT BE A FEMALE NURSE IN THERE TOO? ANYWAY I GUESS IT JUST THE CONCEPT OR SOMETHING. THIS MOVIE HAD IT'S MOMENTS BUT NOT TO MANY. IM GLAD I BOUGHT IT! NEXT TIME I WATCH IT WILL PROBABLY BE WITH SOMEONE WHO NEVER SEEN IT! THE IDEA OF THE TEETH WERE COOL. LOVE THAT SONG IN THE END... YOU DID BY CHUCK PROPHET

Wish I would have bought this sooner!
The battery was shot in my ipod nano. I bought my nano in 2005. With my bad battery, on a full charge, I would be lucky to get 30 minutes of play time. I looked up how to change an ipod nano battery on youtube. It did not look hard. I bought this replacement battery and was very pleased to find out it was a 400mah battery. The OEM battery I replaced was only a 340mah battery. It was not very hard to replace the battery and only took a few minutes to do. The soldering was much much easier that I had anticipated. I charged my ipod with the new battery for about 5 hours and I was amazed. I ipod nano holds a charge better now than when it was brand new! The new battery is working great!

one of my all time favorites!
One of my top ten favorite movies along with Carrie also by Depalma. i won't say too much about the story without giving too much away. basically it is about a mother, her son,a hooker, a psychiatrist, and a woman in sunglasses. These people all get caught up in a murder mystery where all is not as it seems. several scenes will have you leaping from your seat. it is interesting that in this movie and carrie depalma closes with a dream sequence. and both movies have beautiful music as well. Angie Dickenson, Nancy allen, Michael CAine all do a great job here. highly recommended. and i am not kidding that sometimes when i get on elevators i get a chill thinking about this movie. im sure i am not the only one.

It was not for "us" it was for "you".
I believe that you only wrote this book so that African Americans would believe in what you were saying and would just walk away for what happened. How do you walk away form someone who has touched your heart by what they say? It was like what ever came from his mouth was true. Don't hate him because what he is telling you is true. That was the kind of lifestyle he lived. He just wanted you to know what his people go through EVERYDAY of their lives. He was a great man. He was my mentor. I believed in him. I belive that if I put my heart to it I will beable to write like him. That is my goal in life.

"SistySix Steps:" A clone of "Clone?"
After reading the lone review (previous to mine), it made my decision easy NOT to purchase this CD, and probably be thoroughly disappointed, as I was with "Clone." To me, there was no "chemistry" between Kottke and Gordon on "Clone." I doubt that there will be any this time either. Furthermore, neither of them can sing worth a damn. There are a number of vocals on "SixtySix Steps," which helps to kill my interest. The vast majority of cuts on "Clone" were vocals. I listened to it 3 times, hoping to like it better, and could not. I am just not willing to take the risk of being that soundly disappointed again with "SixtySix Steps." Kottke is a masterful guitarist with an inimitable style. He needs to make solo albums without the distractions (and detractions) of other musicians and his "singing" voice, which was self-described early in his career as "sounds like geese farts on a muggy day." Noone has said it better. C'mon, Leo! Quit disappointing your fans!

Doesn't Lucas have enough of our money?
I, like many other Star Wars faithful went and saw this movie in the theater. At first it seems ok, it not slightly interesting. Mid way thru you realize you are watching a vehicle for something else. The story is uninteresting and the climax is anti without resolve. I left the theater wondering whyt he hell I just paid to watch a short story with no revealations. It was in truth a intro to the Cartoon Network series which you can pick any episode and expand it to create this movie. Simply its just an episode and not really a movie. It just takes a long time to watch. The animation is substandard. Worth buying to add to the collection...nothing more. Series is better.

Jack Flynn wins again...and it's even more fun...
McGrory continues the winning saga of Jack Flynn. The book is longer than the first in the series and perhaps a bit better. The plot avoids some of the aburdist elements of the first. The book is paced well and Flynn remains a charmer. It was nice to see how he has grown in life. I was surprised to see that the FBI love interest from the first book was not even mentioned here. What happened to her? Elizabeth Riggs is far better character, but still...I was glad my favorite fictional golden retriever Baker was back. It was great to meet Hank Sweeney too. McGrory's work is at times light and funny--Flynn is a great alter ego. The bigger mystery is still a bit nutty and unrealistic, but fascinating all the rest. I'll be back for my third Flynn book soon.

Terrible Buy!
Let me start by saying that knitting can be an expensive craft and I purchased these needles in a variety pack even though I knew they may not be top quality. However, I was not prepared for the horrible quality of these needles. First, I found them to be extremely flimsy. I have eaten with disposable chop sticks from chinese take out that were more sturdy. Secondly, the manufacturer did not bother to taper the points so forget about sliding them through delicate stitches. The effort it takes to use these needles made me want to give up. Lastly and most importantly this product is DANGEROUS! There was no sanding done at the points and I actually got cut two times from the wooden shards sticking out that you cannot see at first. The needles ripped my yarn apart and left me with bleeding fingers. Save yourself the same mistake and do not buy this! Spend a few more bucks and avoid this company and their terribly made products!

I hate the packaging!
Be forewarned. These are NOT retail glasses. These are bulk-packed in a box and LABELED for individual resale. What that means is that they come with stickers/UPC labels on each individual glass. The stickers are impossible to remove. I have returned other kitchen products because of this. I have only used 5 so far because it takes 5-7 minutes with a razor blade, tape, and acetone to clean off the stickers (which are cheap paper and use a permanent adhesive). Otherwise, these are unimpressive, basic glasses that all have a weird glass drip at the lip from manufacturing. If these were retail packaging and didn't have the stickers, I would have given them 4 stars for just basic, cheap glassware. Unless your time is worth nothing or you like stickers on your glasses, these are just not worth the effort. I'm sure some guy at Anchor Hocking got a bonus for saving 1 cent per glass by using such evil stickers. I won't be completing this set.

ONE JOKE KILLED THIS MOVIE
I won't go into much detail about this movie. It's boring and stupid and rarely draws a laugh. But even the idle laughter ended when Jack Black punted Will Ferrell's dog off a bridge. Yeah, hilarious stuff. Animal cruelty is always a real knee slapper. Bet people will be lining up to see that.I guess that the dog comes back alive in the end is supposed to redeem it, but kicking a dog off a bridge is never going to be funny. I hope every animal lover even tempted to see this movie avoids this movie like the plague.The scene was very shocking and I guess that's how it was supposed to derive the laugh, but a few weeks ago People magazine ran an article about some kid who kicked his neighbor's dog like a football and is facing deserved criminal charges for animal cruelty. So I'm sure another idiot kid somewhere will see this movie and go out imitating it for a joke. Ha, ha. Nice going guys.Minus that scene, this movie is still terrible. Save your money.

Perhaps the most terrible fantasy book ever.
I have read many a fantasy author. To name a few, RA Salvatore, Allan Cole and Chris Bunch, David Eddings, Terry Brooks, Terry Goodkind, and of course, Jordan. His first six books were gripping masterpieces. However, in the last two, his story has gone downhill. I would not recommend Path of Daggers to ANYone. Absolutely NOTHING happened with Mat, the most interesting character, and nothing really happened with Saldaea! Jordan tried to substitute introducing some new characters and new concepts (untying weaves? That was just contrived.) for an actual plot. Raymond E Feist's magical realms of mystery, Terry Goodkind's interesting characters, and Allan Cole and Chris Bunch's sweeping epic fantasy worlds all now outdo this series. Sorry Jordan.

It should be called "The Boring Witch Project"
I actually remember seeing this movie in the theatre when it first came out in 1999. Sitting through this movie was absolutely mind numbing! This was supposed to be one of the scariest horror movies of all time, and what did I get for my money? A bunch of screaming and cuss words. The actors in the movie just run around and screaming in terror the whole time. That's supposed to be scary? And the filming itself is really dark and you can't see anything going on at all! How can a horror film be scary when you can't even understand what's going on in it? Big disappointment here people. Not scary at all. No fun to watch. It's just boring!

Don't Waste Your Time
This was to be a camera for my daughter - Good brand, nice features, easy to use, decent price. What a piece of junk. I own several other digital cameras - high end to point and shoot. I could not get this camera to focus more than 1 out of 5 tries. I EVEN READ THE MANUAL!!! Still no better. I tried well lit subjects, high contrast subjects. At the end I just tried to get it to focus on a very patient, non-moving 7 year old. No luck. Maybe I got a lemon, maybe ... I don't know (and likely won't find out). I sent this one back, gave my daughter an old sony. She's happy, I'm happy.... Try something else is the bottom line.

Pay No Attention to The Review At The Top Of This Page!
Tom Keogh slams the movie. What the heck is that all about? This is truly one of my favorite comedies of all time. I have watched this movie probably 30-40 times and I still find it enjoyable. You don't feel like you are watching the movie. The performances, storyline, and perfect soundtrack make you feel as if you are in it. It's true. There is some dumb slapstick humor. At the same time, you start feeling sorry for the characters. As soon as you think they have hit rock bottom, they fall further into the well. I won't spoil the ending. Just give this one a chance and prepare for some good old fashioned "Brunswick" fun. Disco Bowling? That's a good time.

Summer Reading
I had to read this book over the summer for Summer Reading. I expected it to be just as dull and uninteresting as the other books I have had to read. Actually, it was better than previous years. However, it was not that good.The characters seemed fake and the plot was totally predictable. (spoiler) It was obvious from the beginning that Scott's mom was pregnant. How could he not see that? And in the end with Lee? I figured out in the beginning that Scott would like her better than Julia. And then the thing with Mouth. Jeez. And his "friends" were pretty stupid.I would not recommend this book to most people.

It Ended?
This is the first time I have ever reviewed anything on here, but I have just finished The Old Wine Shades and am stunned. First of all, I'm reading and when I turn the page, it says Epilogue. Eiplogue...you're kidding! I didn't realize it had ended to have an eiplogue. On top of that, there is no ending. Nothing. If there is a hidden meaning, would someone please explain it? I can't believe I read this book and suffered through the superstring theory nonsense, and it has no ending. The only thing I will say for this book is at least she doesn't kill off any children. That was my main gripe with Martha Grimes' books, it seemed like at least one child was always killed in each book. Overall, I am very disappointed in this book and that I took the time to read it.

Excellent in everyway!
These headphones are not only great for listening to music. But I bought them for playing electric guitar, piano, and violin thru them for prartice. The extra ohm "60" makes the diff over the 32 ohm ones on the market. I didn't want the big bulky studio ones that feel like you are wearing football helmet after a hour. These are feather lite and really can't even tell they are on your head. You line 6 Pod users or other multi effect users, well lover these. the extra ohm does make a diff in tone. No ice picking or high shrill. Rich bass and tone through out. Very pleased with them. As well as the tone for MP3's. Very rich tone all the way around. At 60 ohm you won't notice that much of a diff for mp3's. But for playing musical instruments thru them, the extra ohm makes a BIG diff in tone.Well be using these with my Line 6 Pocketpod and guitar on the shady back porch all summer long. They are not like my Marshall Stack, but they excellent.I know my neighbors well love em..

If i could i would give this book ZERO stars! DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!!!!!!! IT IS SO BORING!!!!! If you want a good book, get the Percy Jackson series. Its really good and wont bore you to death. If you want a good book, i recomend the Percy Jackson series. Its very good and things actually happen that are exiting! I am just saying this book is very boring.

Great Camera!
Buy this camera! I have read reviews that said that this camera was too small. I am 6'2" with big hands and I think the size is perfect. I think some people are stuck in the 35mm film days and don't realize that a digital slr does not have to be like a film slr. This camera is fast, small, and light. It takes great pictures. My other digital slr is a monster compared to this. I will keep it for some things (sigma sd14) but for most of my photography the e-410 is a perfect fit. Plus it has a dust removal system which sadly the sigma does not have. For the price there is nothing else that even comes close. Unless you are a professional photographer I can't see why you would need more. Buy this camera! I got mine from Cameta for $339.00 with the 14-42 lens. The ad said refurb but mine was an untouched demo.

Who needs Wii???
We don't have the wii but we had PS2 for the longest time. Got this game and my 5 yr old loves the boxing sparring one. Eyetoy is better then wii in certain aspect because you don't need controller. It is total 100% physical interaction. Yes, the camera resolution is horrible but most 4 to 12 yrs old will not care. The kids go crazy when they take high scorer's photo. Excellent game for young kids. Not all games are great in this package. So I gave it 4 stars. IMPORTANT! You must adjust camera lighting and room lighting setting before playing. Otherwise, the games are useless.

By far the worst adaptation
By far one of the worst movie versions of Jane Eyre. Why was it even made? There are far better versions already. The actors had no soul. They were lifeless, uninteresting, boring. Very typical of Hollywood movies these days. A similar style to this one was True Grit that just came out with Jeff Bridges. Just awful-again no soul, no meaning. This Jane Eyre appeared to me to be a version for people out there who aren't familiar with the story and so it was dumbed down for the average person who really couldn't care less about literature. The book is awesome and very rich and deep. News to you Hollywood, were not as dumb as you think...I own every version of the movie to date execept this one. I wouldn't watch it again.

Over-rated, over-acted, was there a director?
Part music video, part historical epic? Some of the film's shots were inexplicable: circling ministers shot from above--why??? Straightforward shot? make up your mind! Choppy and ineffectual. I had heard good things about the film, but I must go back and examine the heads of my informants, Someone here wrote Blanchett was pale and ethereal. That's nice--but not enough to tackle an iconic ruler such as Elizabeth I. Give me Glenda Jackson or Helen Mirren . . .even Bette Davis for crike's sakes--at least they have the CHOPS to tackle a great role. I was bored and irritated by this film which didn't seem to tell a great historic bio as much as it used the film to allow Blanchett several costume changes and some wacko camera-person to occassionally film from MTV-ish angles (for no consistent or apparent reason). To borrow from Snow White's two dwarves: Dopey and crappy . . .

BEST GOSPEL CD 2004
I found this CD in the R&B section at Best Buy and decided to purchase it since I enjoyed Soulful. After playing it I realized it was a gospel CD. I decided to give it to my sister who is a youth director at her church ages 12-16. I gave her the CD and the teenagers enjoyed the CD on a bus ride to church camp. They felt they could relate instead of singing with the tune the "traditional" Amazing Grace. It's a CD in which teenagers enjoy due to the beats and tempo. It's gospel with the R&B twist that they enjoy. When you see 12-16 year olds playing the music and singing to Restoration, I Surrender All, and Going over Yonder. Even a young soloist singing Center of my Joy. I just want to say it's which all generations and ages can enjoy. It's great when new artist can go back to his gospel roots and produce an entertaining and inspirational CD. This CD has scratches due to how often it it played and borrowed by our youth. GO RUBEN!!

You have got to be kidding me.
I enjoy a good love story but this was ridiculous. The damned female thought she was flawless. I mean no problems at all and got away with evverything. She was supposed to be helping the man but in my eyes caused more trouble than she was worth. She was not a very likeable creature at all because she was so selfish. She thought everything she did ws for a good cause. Who in their right mind brings a prostitute to live under their roof who promptly embarasses almost the whole dinner party by showing them the gifts they gave her. Must I add that they were married, and then she had the nerve to get mad at her husband because he was mad? SERIOUSLY??? I stopped reading. I tried to give it a chance but it was not worth it.

King of Styling Tools!!
I can't rave about this product enough. I bought it 6 years ago when I worked at a salon during college, and its still going strong. I like this one better than the 2 1/4 inch ones because it doesn't fatigue your hands and allows for better control. It has teeth on one end, which I find to be very helpful, since it helps to 'prep' your hair for the flat iron part. My hair is thick and wavy, and as a kid it would frizz up like nothing. Now my hair is smooth and stays that way all day - and I don't even use any styling products! Let make it clear though, this is not a pansy flat-iron, this is professional grade and will make curly hair stick straight if you really wanted. If it can tame my wild hair, it can do the same to yours. Everyone I've met who has used it ended up buying one, and if I lent you mine, you would buy it too. TWO THUMBS WAY UP!!! GET IT, YOU WON'T REGRET IT.

Fun for the kids
I ordered this jumper online. When I received it there was no jumper inside the box only the motor. I emailed Amazon's customer service and explained what happened. They arranged for UPS to come back and pickup it up the next day. They also refunded me the shipping charges. So thought was great. I went to Toys R Us and bought the jumper. This is a great toy even though my son did not seem to interested in it. He is two years old. But his cousins who are four and five years old had a blast.I'm sure he will have to get adjusted to it. The jumper is pretty big and it really sets up quickly with no hassle. Also when you buy the toy at the store you can purchase a 1 year warranty for $24.00.

Batteries don't last forever.
I liked these because they were cheap. The charging cradle or some other plug in for these units is non-existent. The additional money 20 bucks or so is better spent on another brand. I don't have a recommend but these have two contacts on the bottom for a charging cradle. So those two contacts reach into your mind and say "Your going to run out of batteries. Why didn't you get a set that you could leave one at home plugged into the kitchen and another you could plug into the car?" These contacts are not useful like the standard DC charging plugs and even if you buy their models that use a "Y" charger you still can't do what you need without charging down time. These are only as reliable as your batteries( if you notice when they ran out). Not reliable enough to peak my wife's interest. No substitute for a good cell phone. Otherwise they work good and are clear and loud and have good reception in shouting distance.

To Velvet Underground Pixies ...you are a FLIPPEN MORON
Okay your obvioulsy a jelious Peral Jam fan. You have completely missed the meaning of Smells Like Teen Spirit. You say its about friends when its really An attack on the apathy of our owngeneration. He probley lived under a bridge and your just a moron to find the information on it. Nevermind ended a generation and defined a new one. The only thing I can cpmpare Nevermind to is a Phoenix. It destroyed a musical generation and rose from the ashes of it. I listened to Gouge Away by the Pixies and although it is a good song It sounds very little like Nirvana. Just the vocal sounding. I like Peral Jam but they will always be second to Nirvana. Nevermind is the greatist album of the past 25 years. We may not have Kurt but at least we have the music.

Stoned
This was an awful movie of the late great Brian Jones. I only watched it one time. The guy playing Brian didn't remotly look like him at all. The story didn't reveal the good Brian did and only showed the bad stuff. This has some nudity in it. For the die hard Brian Jones fan I wouldn't recomend it. It didn't show is musical tallents. Yes, he could play ANY instrument he picked up. It was sad that he took drugs back in the 60's. Too bad there wasn't rehab like there are today. No he didn't die because he was drunk and on drugs. He died at the hands of a murderer. That murderer was the builder working on his house.

Yikes!
How did this ever get to the disc press? Writing a review is wasting my time but i owe it to anyone else who might be looking for DVD Eye Candy. The long and short. Lousy detail! Boring imagery!. I've seen better VHS detail. Whoever created this should be ashamed of themselves for pawning this junk on those looking to accentuate their HI-def systems. Planet Earth is still the best folks. They use the best equipment and go to the most exotic places to get flawless images. Also, the Pixar animations look great too! That said...OK Pixar, where's "The Incredibles" on Blu-ray?

Awesome, Dramatic, Touching, Page-Turner!!!
I just completed E.Lynn Harris' newest novel, Any Way the Wind Blows and I must say it was all that. I couldn't put the book down. Basil never disappoints E.Lynn fans and that Yancey Braxton is too much but, the ultimate players in this book were Ava Parker Middlebrooks and Bart Paul Dunbar. Adding Bart to the mix made Basil look like a drop in the bucket. I couldn't figure this guy out for nothing and the things he says and does are enough to scare anyone near or far. Ava is the same she-devil, we've come to know, love and hate all in one breath. E.Lynn is a master in his own right. No one can do it better. I was left wanting more and more. The book was magical and in my book is another bestseller. Any Way The Wind Blows will have you on edge and have you believing that the wind can and will blow any way.

Audix Fireball-V Harmonica Mic-be very cautious
Ive been playing harp for a long time and ive used a lot of equipment. My primary amps have been a 59 Bassman reissue and a Sonny Jr.- Sonny II. If you're used to a mic with a crystal or ceramic element don't buy this mic! The gain on this thing is pretty poor. A good mic for acoustic style harp or singing/playing through the PA..Sonny Boy style...but not for you if you want a mic with gain or a crunchy sound. Im not in the habit of saying anything negative ever but if you're used to a JT-30 or Green Bullet with a vintage element this thing will disappoint you. On the plus side the size of this mic is cool and the volume control always wins points with me. Im kind of stuck with this thing so im going to try an EQ and maybe try a differnt amp or two. Just a heads up. If you think you'd like to buy this mic id strongly advise you find someone who has one and try it with your harmonica rig set up. Thanks and Happing Harping.

Glub glub...I'm drowning in cliches
I'm a little bit surprised to see these high scores, though I'll chalk it up to show's pedigree; this is more work from the sometimes brilliant Clamp. On a visual front, the style is likeable. Characters have height to width proportions a la Jack Skellington, which makes for some interesting movement.The story, however, you've seen a million times in better anime. Spirit world...check. Clueless boy...check. Worldly girl...check. Annoying sidekick characters (and I mean REALLY annoying)...check. I'm willing to tolerate all of the above, however, if a show demonstrates the capability to pull together a nice central arc complete with effective cliffhangers and pacing. I didn't get the impression that that was happening. Perhaps it's too early to judge the show...I just know that I'm too bored now to care whether it does pick up. Next...

Jesse from Operation Ivy's band that nobody knows about...
...this is an amazing EP. That not a whole lot of people know features Jesse from Operation Ivy on Vocals. It's the only band he's done since Op Ivy but nobody knows. If you like East Bay Hardcore (AFI, SCREW 32, etc) this is the grandaddy. This is the precursor to those guys. A great great release. It' really cheap so what do you have to lose really? I mean c'mon. I used to listen to this as much as I did the Op Ivy discography. Get it. Impress your friends with your hipster knowledge of the elusive Jesse Michaels and his only other band.

Surprise For Hilda
Wow!. It is Hilda's birthday and she is sad because she wants to meet her other friends. So they made a Monster Express so that her friends can arrive to her Birthday party. That is not all Boris and Kilmer bought THE COMPLETE HAUNTED HOUSE GUIDE. When Hilda saw her friends she cried. When they went inside Hilda's friends danced around. When Carey's dad entered he said to Boris that" Carey did not know it was a surprise party". He also said[Carey's dad] "He was sorry if they disturbed you". Boris and Hilda said "That it was okay". Then Hilda blew her birthday cake. Then Boris said" That Ben, Annie and Jane proved that this was their best neighborhood"

Not too shabby...
I purchased this automan as a bench to sit on while putting my shoes on in my living room entry-way and to store blankets in. It surves both of these purposes well. The automan looks nice. Some have complained about a plasicky smell. Mine has no smell at all. I do have a complaint though... The leather came torn in several small areas on the automan (mostly on the interior and out of plain sight). The exterior tear I turn to face my wall so it is not visible so the tears were not a major problem for me. Others would probably have to send it back for an exchange or refund. For what I use it for and the parts of it that are visible, I think its a great automan though. :)

A five star museum.
The game Secret of the Scarlet Hand is a fabulous game! The museum setting is amazing. You learn about Myan history and art. It is such a fun setting. The characters are perfect for the game. You feel like you are in the museum. All of the Nancy Drew games are creative, fun and educational games. I can't help but play when my kids aren't watching. The problem is you don't want to stop until the mystery is solved. This is one of the greatest games yet, it even moves ahead of my favorite, Treasure in the Royal Tower. I can't wait to see where you will go in future games.

Don't buy it. I've had months of headaches.
I bought this 6 months ago. Black screen. Nothing would make it work (windows XP). I called tech support and they said it wouldn't work with XP without a factory adjustment and that I had to send it back. I did. 4 months later when I hadn't heard a peep from them (almost forgot about it), I contacted them and asked where it was. They said they never got it. I sent them the tracking info showing that not only had they received it, but someone signed for it. They replied that they would send it to me right away. Two days later, I got it. Black screen. Now I'm online trying to find out how to get this dud to work. What a colossal waste of time.

Like eating potato salad as a kid
I expected a lot more from this book when I bought it. The characters are not well defined at all. If you scooped up all the characters and placed them on one ship and then shoot a torpedo at it I would not have cared. There was no reason to like any of these characters. The Navy mumble jumble made it hard to follow at first. The best thing about this book is that it is only 342 pages. Mobley does however seem to have a great understanding of submarines, but actually I would not really know because I have never been on one. Reading the description on the back you would think the Korean element might be discussed more but it is not. About 90 percent of this book is playing cat and mouse between Jerusha Bailey and the German U-boat. You think something is going to happen and then it never does. The end is pretty lackluster also except that you are done reading the book.

Not for everyone
This is more of a comment than a review. I read The Bluest Eye a few years ago. It's a quick read and depressing. My comment is in response to some other reviews on this page. Whether a reviewer enjoys a book or not, s/he should comment on the content as well as the feelings invoked. If I read a review from someone who didn't seem to have read the book, it isn't very useful to me. The idea that Toni Morrison targets white people in this book is wrong. Anyone who reads this book will notice the scarcity of white characters. Pecola suffers at the hands of relatives and other children, most of whom happen to be black (with one exception). Mainly she suffers from the idea that she isn't beautiful because she doesn't fit a certain image. I'm sorry to say that the concept of beauty Morrison portrays is all too real. Disbelief in that concept of beauty doesn't lessen it.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!
I chose this book to read for my history class. It is quite boring! Only about 10% of the book is interesting. It is so oddly written. The writer goes from personal experiences, to historical facts, to "Did you know?" facts and then attempts to tie it all together at the end of each chapter. Yes, some of the facts are interesting, but you don't know if they are true. He hardly talks about the Indians of America. He always refers back to the Incas or the South Africans or some other weird "Indian" that I have never heard of. I couldn't stop falling asleep while reading it either! If you don't want to be bored and confused, do not buy this book!!!!

DO NOT READ before seeing "Beyond the Mat"
We saw "Beyond the Mat" last night. Mick Foley did such a great job writing "Have A Nice Day" that I felt as though I knew the characters. I felt that Colette and the kids were my friends. I couldn't stand seeing them cry when Mick was in the ring. I am probably the only person in the world who will cry at "Beyond the Mat" but I couldn't watch those people whom Mick had portrayed as flesh and blood human beings. I don't think I realized just how good this book was until I saw a movie with the same people -- and they were familiar. "In that one moment they had somehow become friends. There does not seem much chance of their meeting again in that world or any other. But if they ever do they will rush together with their hands held out." (C.S. Lewis in "The Voyage of the 'Dawn Treader.'" THAT is how well-written this book is. (Can I gush any more?"

This doll looks dead
What was Mattel thinking. This doll looks uglier then ugly. Her lips look like they are swolen to nothing. Bratz are better anyways. And big deal if they have big heads, feet and lips. It's better to have big heads, lips, and feet better then small. This doll is ugly. and what is with the polka dotted bikini. Polka dots were out years ago. This doll is ugly and Bratz dolls are beautiful. Bratz are better.

A weird mix
The movie Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone was very close to the book. A few missing scenes here and there, but a very good likeness. The actors were well picked. However ... notice that the movies basically follows this equation.1. Harry down and out2. Harry does something vaguely heroic, and is surrounded by cheering children.3. Again Harry finds himself down and out.4. Harry does something vaguely heroic, and is surrounded by cheering children....Eh heb, Repeat.The movie although visually wonderful ... it leaves you with that "equation" that gets old, only if you don't find it somewhat funny. I enjoyed the movie though it does have that Spielbergian specticle to it. I wish this review wasn't possibly viewed by children, because I would have a field day with this film ... although I liked it. Sheesh, I sound like Dumbledor.

Good, solid album
I was hesitant to purchase this album. I hadn't even heard of it until recently going through the Cheap Trick discography on Wikipedia. But at a $5 price tag (with a DVD!) it was too good a deal to pass up. Boy, was I surprised. Does it rank up there with classics like 'Heaven Tonight' or 'One On One'? No. But it's really good. Yes, a little heavy on the ballad side, but Cheap Trick are one of very few rock bands that do ballads well, without all the shmaltz and cheesiness that most bands seem to produce when they slow things down. Bottom line, Cheap Trick write and record very good songs. Catchy songs. Hummable tunes. Things you remember. They are not amateurs. They are not hacks. They've been doing this a long time and are very good at it. And this is a very good album. I'm actually a little dismayed that it's so obscure, but then again, it's nice to find gems like these once in a while. A good, solid album. Highly recommended.

big disappointment
There has been a lot of fascinating research recently about the biology of transcendence. But you won't find it in this book. What you will get is a personal reconciliation of his Christianity. Not that that's bad--but it is not how the book is represented. A fundamental problem with this book is one that bedevils (so to speak) many works by authors who write on subjects outside of their field of expertise. Pearce is a theologian (apparently). He is not a physician, physiologist, biologist, or anthropologist--and this really shows when he writes about those subjects. The theology is OK. The physiology is ho-hum--the same any intro course would give--except that he strays into details that are unfounded or absurd. As for the anthropology--whew! where does he get this stuff? Ancient cities from 20,000 years ago?! Early Americans that were 7 ft tall?!! This the stuff of fantasy and unfortunately really discredits his attempt to study the phenomenon of transcendence.

Music that will transport you to the throne room of God
I've read all the reviews of this recording and have to agree with all of them. I think this is Twila's best work yet. This project has some of the most beautiful arrangements I've ever heard. Twila writes some of the most powerful lyrics in Christian music. She also writes some of the most beautiful music. This album combines both. The new arrangements of the older hymns add a fresh new feel to the songs. My favorite on the CD, "My Lips Will Praise You," makes me imagine what heaven must be like with the angels singing praise to God. The lyrics are beautiful, but the music as well as the choirs, will bring tears to your eyes. The instrumental, "Perennial," is also beautiful. I highly recommend this project to anyone who wants (or needs) some quiet devotional time with the Lord.

Healthy Gums and Clean Teeth
I bought this water flosser to replace an older one that the battery had worn out on. That one worked for 4 years without incident. I could have replaced the battery but chose to buy a new model. I cannot live without my Waterpic. My gums and teeth are healthy and it does an excellent job cleaning around crowns and an implant. The battery on this model holds a charge for about a week's worth of cleanings without having to recharge. My older model seemed to have a longer battery life but this is sufficient. I just plug it in overnight every weekend. The water reservoir holds just enough to do your mouth once. If you need more water it is easy to refill. The amount of water pressure is good, enough to clean but not so much that you hurt sensitive gum tissues. I highly recommend this product.

It is very good to read! Really it is.
I loved this book and I keep reading this over and over I can never get enough of it. I really dont like to read but I picked this book up at a store and just read it over and over til it was time to close, which was about ten. So at the end I bought it because I just wanted to keep reading it. I have read the book at least 32 times. I love it because I wish I had a family like that. I might not have been in foster homes but I dont like where I am so to me this is a book that I wish I was in. I hope whoever reads the book realizes it is a very good book. 5 stars all the way. I am only 15 and I have not read too many books but this book got me into reading so it has to be good. I think I am repeating myself so I am gonna go. Later.

For any Superman fan, this box set is a must. The Superman movies all look awesome on DVD format for the first time. Superman: The Movie is beautifully done, with a full restoration and new, restored sound effects. The film has never looked so good. There are also three very informative documentaries about the film, plus lots of other goodies. Superman II, III, and IV are not nearly as packed with extras, though. In fact, they have none except for the original theatrical trailer. But I must say the DVD versions of these films look so much better than any old VHS version you can find. Plus, they are in widescreen which is the only way anyone should ever watch a film. If you love the Superman movies, this set is for you. If you've never seen them, this is the best way to see them for the first time.

A Romance of Strategy
I thoroughly enjoyed this romance! .... This love story reads a lot like a chess match. The heroine makes a move; the hero makes a counter move. They argue with logic. This story is a battle of wills. Watching the hero & heroine circle each other is so much fun. Just when I thought the the story was going to take a turn for the worse, it doesn't. The uncle is a little weak, but you have to have a villain.Ms. Jeffries never underestimates the intelligence of her readers. This is a well-written and enjoyable romance. I'm rating this romance four stars, because while it was a sizzling pageturner, it didn't have that certain snap that makes a romance irresistable. Nevertheless, I recommend "The Dangerous Lord" highly. I'm off to read the rest of her series....

Not the same Britney.
I think this album is horrible. In an effort to sound "more grown up," she has filled her album with songs about sexual topics that I don't care to go into. Instead, she just comes across sleezy and lacking in talent. I used to be a fan of hers but not anymore, not since she changed her whole style and came out with this aweful album. I don't even like most of the songs on it. Some of them are pretty strange, too. I really like "Everytime," though, which sounds more like the Britney I used to know and love, and is very pretty. But I can't handle the other stuff, and I was especially appalled by the song "Touch of My Hand." (And then she even pretended to act it out on stage while she sang it on her tour!) Wow. And to think I saw this album being sold at Toys R' Us one day... this isn't a CD I think the little kiddies should hear. Don't waste your money on this one.

Terrible movie, but I love it
Taken seriously, this movie sucks. The story is forced, the characters are ridiculously over the top, and any scene with the monks is just bad. It's almost painful to watch this movie. Some of the lines are laughable. When Julie (Swank) challenges the bully to fight, she says, "If I'm ever going to respect myself, I need to do this." Um, okey dokey. There are several lines which are just as bad. The villain characters are laughably unbelievable, especially Col. Dugan. Why would any school have a team of bullies like the Alpha Elite? Nothing makes sense in this movie. The bowling part with the monks hurts to watch. Swank looks pretty hot at times, manly in others.

Great labor preparation and pregnancy workout
I am finally sitting down to write this review and I can't say enough positive things about this DVD. I used it as often as possible during pregnancy (a few times per week). During pregnancy, it was very helpful to stretch out the muscles around my hips and pelvis. It also helped out for heart burn issues. The true value of this DVD came out during labor. This was my second labor and I truly believe that this is the missing piece to labor preparation. It works. These belly dancing moves helped me progress through labor very quickly and also significantly reduced all discomfort. There was a HUGE difference between my labors and I think that most labor preparation programs miss the importance of movement during labor. Visualization and breath only gets you so far. Belly dancing should be taught everywhere. If/when I get pregnant again, there is no question that I will pick this DVD up again.

Ecellent Story
The tent is a great book. It is about a father (Corey) and a kid named (Steven) who are poor and can't afford anything. This is a great book by the way Gary Paulson creates the plot. The father and son need some money badly. Corey's friend was also poor until he became a priest and also became very rich too. Their friend owed them a favor, so they used and got an old army tent. They went to a hotel and stole the bible a very tricky and clever way. They started in little towns and started getting money to pay needs. They are also doing this illegaly. This book is very interesting and once you get past the beginning it is very hard to put down. It is vey exciting through the beginning and the end, read it and you will find out how good it really is.

Do not buy
Second set of these things. First set was for a bike with 20x1.95 tires. I bought the ones for 20x 1.75-1.95. They are too loose for that bike but they work somewhat. Next bike 20x2.125. I bought the 20x2.125 tubes and they are way too big the tire would not even go on the rim. I tried for a couple of hours. Followed the directions and tried many other things but no go. I have fixed tires on tractors, car, and tractor trailers. I would rather do those any day. I am going to send these pieces of junk back.

Not For Everyone
First of all, I could not read the book in its entirity. I gave it away. It only talked about the discussions Suzanne and the doctors or so-called experts had to say. She also made a lot of assumptions. It was just a lot of interviews. There were no suggestions as to what you should take, only suggestions to go to such and such a place and mention certain things you should be taking and hoping that someone understands what you are talking about and give it to you. Many women can't take the hormones or follow the regiment. All in all, I found the book very disappointing. Anybody could have done what she did-research with no definite conclusion. It was all about her and what worked for her. I can say that Suzanne was very lucky. Wasted my money.

Mostly great
For the most part, I really like this pen. It is heavy and fat, and feels good in my hand. The textured finish is beautiful.I have a few complaints though.The biggest issue is the cap. I wish that it would "click" into place on the tail end of the pen, clinging quietly and securely there while I write. Unfortunately, it does not. The best I can do is to forcefully push the cap onto the tail of the pen. Even so, if I write for a long time, the cap will become loose and try to fall off. Bad.A minor quibble is thet quality of the rollerball refill. It is good but not great. It does not write well on the pages of my cheap Staples composition book. The porous point refill is OK, but it will fade if I write too quickly.

Small yet powerful
I first saw this vacuum on the TV in an informercial ad. After watching for about an hour, I was compeled to buy one and test it out. The first week I got it I tried it out everywhere there was carpet in my house. Then I used this baby in my car. It's so light weight and very conveniant. I use it every week on my car. It keeps the car spotless of any crumbs I leave from eating. It always leaves my kitchen rug spotless after I eat. Not to mention storage, it fits in small spaces. Not only that, its so portable. I can carry it up and down the stairs with ease. I would definately recommend this product.

Why Is It Gone?
This was at one time a free download. I downloaded it, but never had the chance to watch it. On the 31st, some weird power failure completely disrupted my computer. The unbox player had to be re-downloaded. None of my films or downloads was marked as downloaded, but they began to come back - over 90% of them. The rest I simply re-purchased on unbox - though I had to buy Borat on DVD. When I tried to either re-buy or re-download this episode, I discovered it listed but not for sale. Why? Can anyone at Amazon answer that question - several other episodes are also unavailable. ???? I cannot even seem to delete the useless episode. Que pasa? I give it 1 star because you can't give something no stars - a rating deserved by lots of stuff.

The cradle is dumb
The first generation shuffle had a simple USB connector. You could carry it anywhere, charge it anywhere, sync it anywhere. It was a thumb drive as well as a music player. Brilliant.This one is smaller. That's nice. However, Apple has introduced yet another proprietary patented connector. It's their's, they have a patent, you pay extra for adapters. You need to give up yet another USB port and add yet more clutter to your desktop. You have to take it with you when you travel.There's no audio-out from the cradle, btw. So don't expect to listen and charge.If they'd used a mini-USB connector I'd have given this shuffle four or five stars. Instead, I'm tempted to give it a single star, but it's not 100% worthless.Boo-hiss Apple. You've always been greedy, but this time you've gone too far.

Uh...no.
I've read some of Dennis's work before, the into the Forge set, and I thought it wasn't so bad for classic fantasy...though it dragged a little. So I decided to pick up an earlier book to see how much better it would be. I was horrible surprised to find it was worse. The book's beginning wasn't too bad. You can't help but mutter at the characters' unbelievable stupidity in solving the riddles. Even the long lived elf Arin is pretty clueless. Another problem, is Dennis describes everything in WAY too much detail...600 pages of nothing is a little much. I was kind of disgruntled after reading this book, because the ending wasn't epic in any way. The drunk that doesn't really accomplish anything for the whole book dies (and believe me, I'm not giving anything away). Wow...I could care less about a guy who drags the rest of the party down with him. If you want epic...read David Gemmel's Winter Warriors. Now that is some truly epic stuff.

Flimsy Controls...
DO NOT BUY THIS!!! I got a plug and play for christmas, and was really happy. I could already envision myself playing Ms. Pac-Man hour after hour on Saturday night. So when I ran over to the T.V., I pluged in the cables, turned it on, selected Ms.Pac-Man, hit the joystick down... Ms. Pac-man goes up, right into an awaiting Blinky.I don't know why, but this control is extremely flimsy. You go up, the charachter goes down. Turn the car left, takes about five seconds, and when it does, it collides with a car trying to pass you. Ms Pac-Man is horrific, especially. I can't even go pass one screen before falling in to the clutches of a ghost.So don't buy this. Bad controls, mainly. Don't waste your money. Trust me.

What A Voice!!
Miki Howard deserves a better career than she has had, thus far. What a talent!! Her re-make of Aretha's "Till You Come Back To Me" is light-years better than the original. The test of a true talent & good voice is how it handles time. Aretha Franklin can't sing to save her life now. She has abused her body & voice with up-and-down obesity & smoking, such that she just cannot do it anymore, physically. Plus, she's embarrassing to look at, she is so overweight. Miki's talent & voice have handled the passage of time incredibly intact, flawless. I pray she keeps recording!! God bless you, Miki!!

Fiendishly Fab
I did not get the video but viewed it off the DARK CRIMES 50 Pack. First I will say the audio is not good. It is so bad it is a challenge to listen to it. I feel that it is such and old and obscure film that the copiers did the best they could with it. As we know many films of this era are totally ruined and cannot even be salvaged. If you are a stickler about this, I suggest you also get the 50 Pack where you would get more Fiend for your Buck, instead of buying the single DVD. The photography is dazzling, however. It is very high contrast, with bright whites, and dark blacks. There are many, many Hitchcockian type angles. The actors are quite right for 1920s-30s England and the Foreigner is dramatic and reminiscent of Bela Lugosi, the accent, expressions. There are times that we are actually tense as we watch some of the mysterious scenes. I, as an artist, loved the movie.

Good story.
The story is well-told at a good pace; carrying you along. A lot of filming outdoors. Well cast with likeable good-guys and hateable bad-guys. The pretty, Sue England, who plays the innkeeper's daughter, sounds like Shirley Temple. They could be sisters. I have seen the Disney version and liked that too. This version, in black & white, has the better story, but the Disney version, in color, does some other things better. I liked them both. The 1995-version got good reviews too, and is twice as long.The Scots resent the heavy taxes of the British, and certain, corrupt tax-collectors. The Scottish wife says, "The British took all our money, our only cow, and the children have not a drop of milk to drink."This DVD-R played fine on my laptop-computer.

Halle Barry is soo overrated!
She was hardly in any movies before this. isn't that what the Academy Awards is supposed to be about? You have to earn your oscar not be pushed by the NAACP because no blacks have been chosen yet (I think Will Smith deserved the fist black male oscar for "Enemy of the State"). For example, while Queen Latifah was just as good as Katherine Zeta-Jones in "Chicago", Katherine has been in a lot more films and is more distinguished. Same with Nicole Kidman rightfully beating Renee Zellweager (Sp?). I think this film was totally overrated and the story is boring and predictable. I also dont see the big hype about Halle Barry. her acting isn't even that good. If you want a good black female actress check out Vanessa Williams on the new TV series "Boomtown." Totally underrated!!

An excellent book to keep on your shelf
I was tempted to put 4 stars instead of 5. The reason being my own inability to fully comprehend what they were talking about. I read this book during my undergrad for an C++/OOP course. The professor I had was an excellent communicator. We went through 11 of the 23 patterns, and i kind of got them in my head. But i forgot all about them after 5 months or so. I referred it back in my grad school, and I open it regularly at work. I still don't completely understand all the examples, but whenever i am short of tools to solve a problem, i refer to a page and some or the other pattern fits exactly, as a better solution to the problem at hand. Like what some reviewers said, you might need to do some work to understand all of them. I can't wait see a second edition. It has been almost 10 years now.
