1 | passive-aggressive math? | I've never come across such a work or author before. This author is plainly venting his passive-aggressive tendencies in this less than enlightening work. It took me until page 108 to finally figure what he's up to.There he puts Euclid's axioms in such a format as to be quite deliberately obscure. Then two pages later he suddenly jumps to measuring angles in radians, though he's never done it before and makes no statement that he's doing so. If you are not already ahead of him, you are lost. So it goes with the rest of the book. Meanwhile Berlinski stands to the side saying, "What did I do? What did I do? Oh, well, perhaps you should read something simpler if you cannot follow me."Berlinski is plainly a person of wit and intelligence. Alas, he's allowed another side of his persona to pop up here. | 11 | [

1 | Better Wait On 802.11g | Had it running for a short time with not much luck. 802.11g has the same interference problems as 802.11b, as it will fight cordless phones, etc. I had the WAP in one room and the PC in the other. Connections would take a long time and would fail periodically. The fastest speed it would connect at, only two rooms away was 24Meg. Sometimes it would connect at 36Meg but quickly drop back down, sometimes to 10Meg. Someone around my house is running an unsecured WLAN as the card in my PC would get a week signal and pick up in IP address from somewhere else. Oops. I had to configure the PC end to look for my network only. If you follow Linksys's instructions, it will us the default configuration, which is wide open, and leave your network assessable to anyone around you. I soon tired of messing with it and got an RMA and shipped it back. I'll wait for 802.11a's prices to come down or see what new wireless protocol comes out next week. | 12 | [

1 | What a pain!! | I was eight months pregant when I decided to put this together. My husband was not home but it looked simple enough. The directions are overly detailed and it is easier to figure out than they make it appear. The problem occurred with getting everything to connect. I ended up using a hammer on it!! It took two or three hours and a lot of frustration to get this together. I ended up with a nose bleed and I have never had a nose bleed in my life!! After I filled it I decided to move it to another room. When I lifted it up the top detached from the bottom after all of my hard work. We know now to only lift from the bottom. I was so tired and frustrated that I did not insert the shelves. It is convenient but I doubt it is worth the trouble. The U.S. is the land of abundance so try something different if you can. | 13 | [

1 | It's not what you think | O.k., so I'm breakin' Hip-Hop rule #2010: Neva, EVA, EVA diss the T'Cha. But it's not really a dis: more like a warning. You go to the record store, you see a KRS One album you've never seen before with a 2001 date on it and you figure he's pullin' another Sneak Attack, right...just hittin' his hard-core, hip-hop respectin' fans off lovely, right. Well, first things first...it's actualy from 96. Secondly, there's not a single lyric from Kris...not a single lyric at all, actually. It's a bunch of beats. I give the concept 6 1/2 stars...proving Kris cares about the EMcees and breakdancers. However, IMO this is poorly executed. The beats are experimental and don't bang. Maybe the real breakdancers out there will appreciate this. But for the average hip-hop connoisseur, it's probably not what you're looking for. | 11 | [

1 | all Sweep books | i think these are terrible! they are not even good and the whole concept of witches is bad! people who really get into these books may become fanatics and stray from the right path! i think someone should put a stop to cate tiernan's books about witches and that nonsense! i can't believe i even read those books! it may draw many people to it, but that means nothing. she makes the characters have bad morals and children can learn bad things from that! (these books are in the young youth section!) any person can get a hold of these terrible awful books! i would give it zero or negative stars but there is not option for that on here! these are going to be the next set of banned books from the libraries, rather, the whole world! | 11 | [

2 | Great series. | I could remember seeing an episode or two but really couldn't remember that much about the series so I decided to buy it. I almost quit watching it after the first episode. It had the look and feel of a daily soap opera. Not how I wanted to see Zorro. I thought I was about to see one of my childhood hero's butchered by someone's sense of drama. Luckily it got better and soon I was watching Zorro defend the people of California. Some of the sword play is pretty good and some is cheesybut the storys are pretty good. The extra's on the last dvd are cool with a few of the first Zorro movies. They also have the original first pilot episode with a compleately different story line and actors. I am very glad they did not go through with this one. I won't spoil it but I will say they made the right choice. They only thing I wish is that they added subtitles for the hearing impaired. | 12 | [

2 | I like it so far. | I have 2 Suspension Multi-tools from Gerber and decided to get this model for the tougher jobs I have. It is stronger then my other 2 and more comfortable when squeezing hard. I don't really like how the inner tools have to come out. I was so used to opening the knife part with one finger from the smaller models. I know that an opening mechanism like the Suspension would make it less comfortable however. I guess I'll take the comfort in this case. The case seams pretty good. It is a little heavy and big but again I needed something stronger and so I have it. It's a breeze to open and close the pliers and I got a good deal on the price. The only thing I would like to see is the pliers to retract flush with the handle and maybe a better way to get a hold on the smaller tools. It's functional and will now be my sidekick in the woods while hunting. | 11 | [

1 | Save Your Money | Bah, bug and hum. I enjoy the Blue Collar DVDs. I like to watch the four men when they appear on cable. However, I strongly encourage you to save your money when it comes to this book. There is no continuity. No flow. There are disjointed, rambling mutterings printed from the first page of the book to the end. I did not read it all...I skipped through in the hopes of finding some redeeming content. It wasn't there. I am returning my copy. What a waste of a tree. | 11 | [

1 | Blows | Anyone who thinks War All The Time or even Full Collapse aren't as good as City are CRAZY! This record SUCKS fat balls. The mixing is terrible, and you can't hear geoffs voice in half of the songs. I didn't like Waiting, but I still think its better than this one. This is thursday at their worst.PS - Why has every follow-up from one or more of my favorite bands SUCKED this year? I mean, first there's Thrice. Then Yellowcard. Then Atreyu. Then hoobastank. Then less than jake. And now Thursday? Hopefully the Underoath record won't suck, but I'm not holding my breathe. | 12 | [

2 | Not Just for Knee Pain | This product has eliminated my hip pain! Yes, I said HIP pain. Believe it or not, but it's true! I am 43 yrs old and have been suffering from right hip pain for over a year now. My left leg is a little longer than my right which over the years has affected my spine and hip. My son's PT suggested I try the Kneed-It on my left knee. (I wear it on my left knee and it relieves the pain in my right hip) Yes, I thought she was crazy as well, but figured I had nothing to lose...except $20 for the Kneed-It. Well, it was only a day or two before the pain in my hip completely went away and hasn't returned. I can hardly believe it myself, but it's true. All I can tell you is try it. It has worked wonders for me. I am on a treadmill 3x/wk and fairly active. I wear it all day and take it off at night. The best $20 I ever spent!! | 15 | [

1 | not a must see | I am a bit confused as to why this movie has won so many awards and gotten all this great press. Is it because its a peek into the world of the Inuit? And it was written, acted and directed all by the Inuit? This alone does not allow for any concessions. It is a sincere effort, but its also quite amatuer. The bad guy is really bad and the good guy is really good(almost no character development). the camera work is awkward(cheesy zoom in's on actors' faces when we're supposed to grasp the dramatic moment). the acting stiff. the narrative is strange and hard to follow(all of a sudden he's got two wives!). and the length...yes long, but not really slow, it was neither compelling nor boring to watch. i am however quite interested in what the actors are up to these days. but hey, the movie is not a must see. you can pass this one up. | 13 | [

2 | Best I've seen lately | Wow! Let me just say, this movie is awesome. You're thinking, a movie about magicians. How lame. I know, I thought the same thing. The previews didn't really inspire me that much either. But this was a total surprise.The movie is about two magicians who are bitter rivals after an unfortunate event that occured at one show involving one of the magicians' wife. The plot follows them as they try by any means to steal the other's secret.I must admit, the ending was somewhat confusing. You had to be paying attention. I actually ended up wikipedia-ing it just to clarify some loose ends. But this movie, I can't even adequetly describe it, is amazing. Good for teens and adults.Kudos to Hugh Jackman for a great performance! If you liked this movie, I would recommend The Illusionist. | 13 | [

1 | Keep your reciept. This product will need to go back. | Installed on a Pentium D 3.0 Ghz with 320 hard drive. Everything had been peachy keen since I got the box a month ago. I installed the Norton suite amd turn on Go Back and mysteriously my hard drive dissapeared when I tried to start up the next time. Poof. Gone. I had to reformat and reinstall windows xp Media edition. At the time I didn't attribute it to this virus packaged as a helpful program. So I reinstall everything, for the past week, preformance has been degrading. Slower and slower. I am currently laughing bitterly at the box it is on because on boot at 4:20 pm eastern, Norton went all crazy and decided to GoBack! It is now 6:50 pm. I took a nap. The damn things is at 76% and has been there since I woke up. I am questioning if I should just turn the box off now. Possibly the worst software I have ever intentionally installed. | 15 | [

1 | Great...for 2 days. | I did lots of research before purchasing this product. When I decided on it, I knew I was taking a chance. It arrived and I was extremely excited. It charged great. Adding Mp3s was so simple. The fm tuner was amazing. The voice recording was surprisingly ok. Then, on the third of having it in my possession, it just quit. I charged it. I let it rest. It just wouldn't turn back on. I had barely used it. I hope that it just happened to be the one I received. If so, I would change my rating in a heart beat. The two is for 2 days it did work. The main problem is that now I am very scared of buying an mp3 player. I don't know who to trust. | 16 | [

2 | Get Ready to Sweat! | This is an incredible workout. The circuits are quick and effective. Jillian is her usual self. "If you want results, you've got to do the work!" She mixes toughies in with less strenuous to catch your breath. My favorite is the warm up. The jumping jacks nearly killed me the first time!I like that there are individual circuits but wish I could pick 5 or six and customize a workout. Need to keep going back to menu to pick next circuit.Target had this DVD for $14.99 + tax. I "google goggled" it and presto, Amazon popped up with a nearly 1/2 price savings! Ordered in the store from my phone. Got it the next day. If only my sagging butt could be cured that fast! Lol. | 13 | [

1 | wrong direction | I was really excited about this new PE cd when it first came out. I bought it, took it home, and was immediately struck dumb at what I was hearing. The music is nothing like the PE I knew. Seemed they where trying to become a poor man's version of Van Halen with the lame electric guitar solos. blech!! The next day I sold the cd back to the music store. Years later I bought the Best Adventures cd. It has 3 tracks from Race. I listended to those songs and once again was horrified at the hard rocking turn PE had taken. This time around though I could hear the Brian Canham melody that are in PE's better efforts. So I was able to appreciate the songs from Race a little more. Not much though. | 12 | [

2 | perfect album | I really can't say enough good things about this album. Sure there is plenty of filler and a couple of throwaway tracks. Sure Spoon has made more consistent ablums before and after this one. Regardless, this is their masterpiece. The weak tracks fit perfectly with the strong ones (which are without peer) to make a cohesive, unified statement. This album is brilliant. Britt Daniel writes some of the best lyrics in music; they're not showy or pretentious but consice and memmorable. He may also possess one of the greatest rock-n-roll voices of modern times. Fittingly enough, that's what this music is--great, unforgettable rock-n-roll. This was the first Spoon album I owned. I bought it early in 2001. Before this I knew them only as an anonymous Matador records indie band with two unimpressive tracks on the "What's Up Matador" compilation of the late 90s. | 12 | [
"I really can't say enough good things about this album.",
"Sure there is plenty of filler and a couple of throwaway tracks.",
"Sure Spoon has made more consistent ablums before and after this one.",
"Regardless, this is their masterpiece.",
"The weak tracks fit perfectly with the strong ones (which are without peer) to make a cohesive, unified statement.",
"This album is brilliant.",
"Britt Daniel writes some of the best lyrics in music; they're not showy or pretentious but consice and memmorable.",

2 | Great TV - I've had no problems | I purchased this television after researching all my HD options. It is the perfect balance or price, size,picture, and life span (of course, anticipating a lamp change). When I purchased it in June of 2006, the price was still $1499 at most places. A couple of points:1. Great picture IF you use HD cables. I've gotten great performance out of three video game systems (PS2, Wii, 360) and an upconverting dvd player.2. Buy an upconverting DVD player. It is so worth it. And use an HDMI cable with it.3. The picture might take a little adjusting, but once you get it right, I think it offers more cinematic visuals than anything I've seen.4. The sound quality is surprisingly good.5. I haven't had any problems with the tv (although, I must say that mine is not hooked up to any tv signal and I only use it an average of 2 hours a day for movies and games). My understanding is that a lamp change is likely, but that overall, DLP has a longer life than any other HD format. | 13 | [

2 | The 80's aren't over yet. | "If You Leave" from the 1985 Pretty In Pink soundtrack was one of the top 10 most infectious, sing-a-longiest and durable songs of the 1980's, but if that's all you know about OMD, then you got up from the table way too soon.Powder your wig and pinch your cheeks, 'cause it's time to head back to the dining room for the second course.This album was released in 1991 but it's 80's music just the same.The 80's aren't over yet until you've heard the full OMD discography. Whether you prefer the Techno-Dance or melancholy Synth-Pop, you're bound to find several songs that you'll kick yourself for having not added to your collection sooner.Not only are the 80's not over, they're about to grab you by your chin-hair and slap you stupid.My personal faves on this album:1. Was It Something I Said?2. Speed of Light3. Pandora's Box4. Big Town5. Then You Turn AwayIn General:1. (Forever) Live and Die2. Dreaming3. So In Love4. Souvenir | 11 | [

1 | Lost in moab | First, directions to trail head very confusing. Then got lost on trail following directions in book leading to 10 additional miles. We finally called the bike shop who put us on the right trail. The trail was not named in the book. The trail named in the book is not "an actual trail. This is what it is referred to by the locals" according to the bike shop. No signs for the trail that was named in the book. Also, it was a road and no where in the trail description did it say it was a road. All guide books tell if it's a road vs Single track. This one is going in the trash. I don't trust it. I do agree with the other review. It is cute and witty. Cute and witty did not help us today. | 14 | [

2 | Great product | Overall the hype about the Garmin 305 is pretty well deserved. Its a great tool for an athlete and an even better tool for a Triathlete. You can use the GPS feature to get reasonably accurate distance numbers, and elevation. It also has a ton of programmable features like alarms, workouts etc you can use. I have had mine for a month and have not yet figured out everything. In addition, you can go indoors and use the accessories they have for the Bike and the run ( Foot pod, bike pod). All is well made. The only downside is that its not the most user friendly device I have seen. Not very intuitive. For this HR monitor they are not kidding when they say "Read the instructions before use" you really do need to sit down and read the instructions. But overall very happy with it. | 11 | [

2 | YUMMY! | I bought this cookbook originally for my niece. However, it is such a gorgeous book that I kept it for my 5 year old son. The recipes are pretty simple that most of the ingredients you already have at home. The book includes a picture glossary for the terms that are used in the book such as folding in or separating the egg yolk and egg white. The pictures are magnificent. My son wants to make everything. While the book was created for kids, there are a few recipes that I am eager to try out. They have something in here for everyone. It is not just your PB & J cookbook. This has some real baking and cooking recipes. I cannot wait to try them. I highly recommend this book for the clear cut directions. The lack of fancy ingredients simplify it too. The pictures are worth every penny of the book. The pictures are nice and large so that any aged child can easily follow the steps of the pictures even if they cannot read! Bon Appetit! | 16 | [

2 | awesome scope | First of all, got this scope to view flying objects after watching a UFO special haha. So I researched and for the money heard this scope works well. First night I got it, was blown away with how well it worked. Scoping around the backyard I can see everything clearly. You just focus the front lens. You start seeing all kinds of things. Insects, birds are easily identified by their movement. Then you notice you can see all the stars you can't see because of the city lights. Then you see distant planes flying blinking and then looking straight up you can see some Leo satelites flying with a steady faint glow. Was everything I expected. Field of view is sort of small so finding moving SATs can be hard, but just survey the sky from one side to another and you'll see some interesting things. Last night seen two objects fly by at a super fast rate. Totally interesting, and recommend this scope to any amateur sky watcher. | 13 | [

2 | Never a dull moment! | I had heard so much about this Ring before purchasing the dvd set. I tend to like conservative productions of operas for the most part. When I saw the Met's Ring dvd set it opened my eyes to why so many people love this work. This Copenhagen Ring is completely different....almost a polar opposite of the Met's Ring. Still, I decided to give it a shot. I figured the price of the entire set was less than tickets to actually see a Ring. I actually loved this Ring. It makes you laugh a lot, and it is full of surprises. Just when I thought I wouldn't be surprised again, I was. This is a Ring that does not take itself too seriously, and you actually realize that there is humor in the Ring. However, there are very touching moments in this production also. I highly recommend it. It is a lot of fun and still touches you concerning the whole drama. | 13 | [

2 | Nice album | I just came back to write a better review of this album.Shanice came back with a more maturer singing voice. On this album she shows she has matured when she was gone. I wouldn't say this album is Da Bomb, but it's nice. For some reason, the first track "You Need a Man" was released as single but never as a video. The second song on the album, "When I Close My Eyes" was Shanice's comeback. "Yesterday" is a nice ballad. "Wanna Hear You Say" has nice beat.Alot of the songs on this album resemble "Fly Away". "Don't Fight It" is tight. "Ain't Got No Remedy" is alright. shanice is doing her thang in "Doin' My Thang". "Fall For You" is a beautiful song. It reminds of of my love life. Shanice is male bashing in "You Can Bounce". "Somebody Else" is like any other R&B song. "A Reason" has a long musical intro. N-E-Wayz, Shanice is my favorite singer. I hope she becomes more successful in life. | 17 | [

1 | Great songs. Lyrics? Not so much. | It's funny. I like Kurt's singing. And the band is wonderful. But unlike the amazing lyricists of the past. These lyrics are forced into a melodic structure without much finesse. It reminds me of forced humor. You know, the guys on morning radio being forced to attempt to be funny every day. With the result being NOT FUNNY! This feels the same to me. A little presumptous to assume any of these composers of these great tunes ever wanted or imagined them vocalized by anyone. I remember Mark Murphy pulling it off 30 years ago pretty well. But this just doesn't make it. And the banana song is mind boggling. Guess I'll have to stick to Kurt doing standards. | 14 | [

2 | AWESOME four STARS | Great Film! Shot on a modest budget, Rhineland Spins a gritty tale. While watching this movie it throws you into a war no one wants to be in. You follow a cowardly private, barely hanging on as his world falls in around him. I was impressed with the Battle sequences. Not as flashy as a Hollywood film, but for an independent film this movie is fantastic. Honestly after reading a lot of reviews for this movie I can see why people would pick apart things like this. But I say this, I hate watching movies with "people" who blurt out, "that's not a period rifle" or "that kilt was only worn by the McSosandso clan." Really? It is a film, and a damn good one. I look forward to the future work of the 88mm Production team. | 11 | [

2 | 2nd really good album from No Limit this year. | Allright 'chall,1st of all it's No Limit 4 Life. Cash-Money ain't even music,it's trash. every song is the same stupid thing,bout how much money and cars they got. and they're f**ked up to go and talk about Master P(he deserves the most respect, right now)after he was givin 'em their props on the song Soldier Till I Die. as for Ghetto Postage,it's really great. a couple songs that sound too much on the same subject,but along with C-Murder's "Trapped in Crime",it makes for the best NL release in since summer '99. I like rap I can feel and relate to,not some garbage about bein' the #1 stunter. P ain't no stunter,he's a TRU person,and i got unconditional love for the whole No Limit camp. 4 life. I wear my No Limit tank with pride and i dont give a .... how much it costs,i'm just representin' the #1 label in rap. No Limit started this for the south,and they ain't never gonna be taken over by a bunch of trash-talkin' rookies. | 11 | [

2 | JET : "Family Style" | ***** - FIVE STARSI'm not really a big JET fan, but after seeing this live performance, I just may be one soon. This is raw, loud, and one smoke n' live performance. I can't help but think ACDC. I hear it, and I like it....There is also something strange about JET's lead singer's voice. Call me crazy, but when I close my eyes and listen I can't help but think this is Nirvana gone Rock. Maybe it's just me, but JET's lead singer sounds alot like the late legend K. Cobain....All in all, this is an excellent show. The way a Rock show was meant to be done. I'm very impressed with JET as a live act, they sound much better live than they do on CD. This is a live band I certainly wont miss seeing next time around. They have earned my respect after seeing this. It's a must buy for any Rock fan from AC~DC to ZZ Top.... | 11 | [

1 | Absolute Crap | The first review of this utter turd-fest of an album was washed clean from this site. What a shame that was, I could have saved people some money. This album sucks. The members of Mastadon are deaf, and real musicians everywhere call for them to be beaten to death with thier own instruments. Some of the goons who have reviewed this album say, "oh, the drum tracks are a little heavy . . ." or some generally whiny crap like that. The drums are not nearly as bad as the singing/screaming or the lame guitar work. Hell, the drums prevented me from slitting my own writsts during my initial listen. Go get yourself some Orange Goblin albums, or some Obituary (if you are into death metal), some old White Zombie or Black Sabbath Albums instead of this rotting lack of music titled "Remission." Hell, a Chet Atkins album is more tolerable to a music fan than this crap-tastic outing by the world's most deaf band: Mastadon.The Real Music Lover | 12 | [

1 | Cheap shoddy construction | I bought the Bling-bling Black. What can I say? I love the sound. Crisp clear highs and midrange and the low deep rich bass. The construction? HATED IT!! Where the cord comes out of the plug is the major weak spot and is not compatible with an active lifestyle. The connection where the plug meets the cord allows for too much movement at the joint hense the wire connection breaks inside the insulation. Results either the right or left plug stops working or both. In my case it was always the right plug. This is my 5th pair of headphones in less than a year. Every single pair died within a few months of purchase. You'd think for the price you pay for them, there'd be sturdier concstruction an active lifestyle. and hold up to V-Moda really needs to rethink this design flaw. Overall my rating is 5 stars for sound and 2 for construction. | 15 | [

1 | Carelessly cobbled together | Text is marred by numerous errors, not just of spelling, but of dates, too. To wit: Foyot's was demolished in 1937, not 1933 (p.72). Cafe Voltaire was at #1, not 21, Place de l'Odeon (p. 67). Modigliani died 1920, not 1926 (p.121). Nathaniel West was killed 1940, not 1944 (p.120). Ezra Pound never lived in the rue de Seine (p.22). It is a fiction produced by Hemingway himself that he once rented an attic room at 39, rue Descartes, where Verlaine died (p.130). There's no such thing as rue St. Germain in Paris. It's 'boulevard' (p.20). And so on... Author also borrows/copies heavily, at times almost verbatim (but w/o acknowledgement) from Brian N. Morton's "Americans in Paris".

1 | Don't waste your money; Only fun for first 1/2 hr-1 hr | At first, I was very excited about getting this game. When I got it, I really enjoyed it. It started out as a solid 4-star game, great questions, sarcasm from Regis, heart-pounding music, it had it all. The only initial problem was that the first few questions were too hard. But then after 1 hr. of playing it...WHAT WAS I THINKING WHEN I BOUGHT THIS GAME! The questions kept repeating, and repeating, and repeating! After playing it for 2 days of playing 1 hr. each day, I can get up to $125,000 almost everytime because I remember all the answers!

1 | Not Worth a Dime!! | The Whistler XTR-140 is worthless! In the first week, I drove through three CHP speed traps and the Whistler XTR-140 didn't make a peep! Nothing!! On two of the those occasions, I could see the officer sighting me in and..... Nothing!! (I wasn't speeding and they didn't stop me) I've driven through about a dozen "Your Speed Is..." indicators and.... Nothing!! My buddy is a baseball coach and has a radar gun for his pitchers. We tried it out and..... Nothing!!! I tried out my Crimson Trace laser on it and... Nothing!! This is a worthless piece of junk and DON'T BUY IT!! Fortunately, Amazon gave me my money back so, if you do buy this piece of junk, save all the packaging so you can get your hard earned bucks back on this WORTHLESS PIECE OF JUNK!! | 15 | [

2 | Energetic fun 90s pop | I wish there was a half star system available here. This album deserves it. This album is a solid three and half star release. Much to recommend it but just not there. On music alone it is a four star release. But the lyrics are sort of weak. Don't get me wrong, they sound great but on the page, they are slightly lacking. This album is about how it feels not how it looks. I also like the knowing but not slavish debt to the 60s (Yes, they own some Elephant Six records!).Another downside, I think the album is too short. Granted with the other deficit on the album, I appreciate the "get in, do what you gotta, and split" feel of the album.I don't want this review to sound like a slag. I think the band is in the ballpark. Next release, I will be there. There is an enthusiasm here which puts this over the top. I haven't felt this way since the slouching towards greatness debut of Starlight Mints. It grows on you! Better than radio pop but just not as good as Beulah's Heartstrings. | 17 | [

1 | Cheap wannabe retread of Buffy. | Thank God a friend bought this before I lost my money on this debacle. Watched it with him and we both had a headache before it was over. It's like telling someone in a third world country who has never seen Buffy or Angel, trying to describe to them the humor and nuances of the show, the essence of what made it a great show. Then you send them a list of the characters. Then it's their turn to write a script and perform it using people who have no clue the show ever existed. They fumble and stumble their way. No clue of the origin of the plot. BTVS ended after the best of the show had been done. The last season worked but was lacking. But to pretend that this wannabe comic book is a continuation of that show... There is not enough alcohol on the planet to make that a smooth segue. Nice try to rob people, but this idea stinks terribly. I hope that someday a real BTVS will be resurrected in a motion comic form, or even a live action film would be better. | 13 | [

2 | love this video | I was going to order a Richard Simmons video but after reading reviews on Amazon that his tapes are hard to follow I looked up Leslie Sansone because everyone wrote how easy hers was. I was amazed to read that people who never excercised and who got tired easily - like me - were able to do her video. I ordered the 3 volume set with the weights from Amazon and have only tried the 1st one - the 1 mile twice but I love it and can do it!!! I am not discouraged. It is very pleasant to watch and do. I can do these at home, with very little space involved, and very little coordination involved also for a beginner like me. I just love it. The input on Amazon was exactly correct. I am so glad I researched it on Amazon. In addition, I have tried exercises from books and after doing them, I felt like I was hurting myself. The moves on the viedo are very mild and I feel very good after doing them not sore. | 11 | [

2 | Juliet, Aimee, and Alexus show their stuff. | This is one of the really good videos from Penthouse. It was very similar to Pets In Paradise, which is another of the Penthouse must haves. This time the three women are Juliet, Aimee, and Alexus. The video consists of 10 segments featuring the women showing us their bodies. 7 of the segments showcase one of the girls by herself. There are two girl/girl segments with Juliet/Aimee and Aimee/Alexus. The final segment is a three way with all of the girls. Much like Pets in Paradise, this one goes as far as it can but still be considered softcore.Even though the star of the video is Juliet, it was Aimee that I'll really remember. She has the best solo scene. She is in a bathtub, soaping herself, and rinsing off with the shower massager, which she then puts to better uses. Her twosome with Alexus was very, very good as well.If you want to see the best that Penthouse has to offer, then you have to have this one. | 11 | [

1 | what a TERRIBLE buy! | I purchased the Koss QZ-5 Headphones.THESE ARE NOT ACTIVE NOISE CANCELLING HEADPHONES!!!I was duped. I believed these were active noise cancelling headphones, but they reduce noise by adding a ton of padding. These headphones are HUGE. The picture displayed is very decieving, only showing you the profile of the headphones. If you wear it and look in a mirror, you will look like a geeky mickey mouse. They stick out of the sides of your head making you look like a weirdo.In addition to that, the sound quality is extremely poor. At the moment I am listening to the Fellowship of the Ring soundtrack, and any bass makes the headphones crackle. Bass performance is absolutely poor. Do not get these headphones, they are a waste of money. Do not get these headphones! | 11 | [

2 | Tragic Beautiful | I wasn't sure if I should rate this 3 or 4 stars. I went with 4 because the movie had emotional impact. While the movie spends most if its time building plot and character, this does pay off. In other words, it can be slow. By the time the action kicks in, you will care about the characters. You cheer for them and worry as they run a gauntlet of danger. Unfortunately, the time spent on character and plot may bore some people. This is, after all, billed as a martial arts film. The martial arts do show up, in the later half. However, the fights are well done with different styles and various fights (by some well known names!), and because of the character development, breathtaking. You want the heroes to win. You need these people with pasts, tragedies, issues, and courage to win. I won't tell you how it ends. However, I will say, if you want a movie about sacrifice, love, honor, redemption, with some kick rear martial arts, I think you have found the movie. | 15 | [

2 | The loan reviewer | I finally decided to read the Da Vinci Code. More so out of curiosity than anything. I must say that the start of the book was just BORING.. However, as I continued to read, the more fascinated I became. I feel that Dan Brown has a gift for pushing the boundaries of Innovation. I do not consider myself to be a religious person, but very much so a spirtual one. I was not at all offended by anything depicted in this book, because it is a work of fiction. I am always suprised when people express such strong views about this book, because it is a work of fiction. In addtion to the fact that there are so many other things that we could worry about ( Abuse in the catholic church amongst these things.)This book is meant to be both thoughtprovoking and entertaining. Both of which Dan Brown has been able to convey well. | 11 | [

1 | This book made me ill. | I have to agree with the previous reviewer J. Mullally, this "hero" has nothing whatsoever to recommend him. On the carriage ride home after the visit to the king he says such horrible insulting things to our heroine that I would never have forgiven him, much less worked for him another minute, no matter what he threatened to do if she quit. And marry him? Rather take the hangman's noose than this obnoxious, bloated, aristocratic bag of wind. He actually states that she's not good enough to marry to her face. Throughout his entire tirade, none of it deserved by her in any way I might add, I found myself actually growing sick to my stomach at his cold, cruel, and completely merciless attack on her character.Nothing he did afterward improved my opinion of him. And Helena certainly deserved much better. She was a jewel and the reason I kept reading.No stars for this book. None. And I'm GLAD his hand was smashed to bits. Too bad it wasn't his brains. | 11 | [

2 | Good Field Watch! | I bought this watch for my son as a gift. I remember the ones just like this as a kid. The thin width case is what I like about it. In addition, the band is very strong and durable nylon webbing. The hands and face are very readable; even at night. So far it has survived his monthly Scout hikes and a week at summer camp too. Eight months later, it is still accurate and many people have complimented him when they ask about it (mostly other adults). It's a tough, handsome watch that is hard to beat in my opinion. The description does not indicate this, but the crown screws in to prevent water damage. My son loves it almost as much as I do! Maybe I should buy one for myself as well! | 11 | [

1 | Really Dissapointing | Spiderman movies are supposed to be fun, action, adventure and just general coolness with Spiderman himself. This one was just full of whiney crying sookiness from the main characters. And the singing and dancing?! Oh please, this isnt a broadway musical! When I watch Spidey movies, I want to see SPIDERMAN webslinging and taking out the villians...with his mask ON! He seemed to have it off more then on in this one. Why would i want to see Peter Parkers nerdy wimpy face in a Spiderman costume instead of his mask? And what was James Francos character? A villian, The Hobgoblin or The Green Goblin mach 2? Does anyone really know? And again, no mask! Boring. The two villians were the best thing about this movie, particularly Venom, for the all too short amount of screen time he actually got. Overall this was dissapointing, I really enjoyed the first two but Sam dropped the ball with this one. | 14 | [

2 | Fun Reset Target | I bought this for my wife and I to practice our shooting. We think it is a lot of fun. I gave it a 4, because I have not been able to shoot it and get all 4 of the targets to stay up. I could get 2 to stay up, but once I shot the 3rd, the other 2 would fall down. It may not have been on level enough ground or it wasn't secured well enough? We didn't really care, because it was still fun to shoot. You always at least know when you hit the target.I think this target is really fun though. My wife and I went through at least 150 rounds really quick and we had a blast. When it gets shot the paint has come off of the metal, but that is expected. It's paint. The metal has not dented at all. The target is made of about 1/4" metal and the target have about a 2.5" diameter.I like the target and I am excited to use it some more. | 12 | [

2 | Surprisingly good | I was not expecting much after reading some of the reviews but as a Red Green fan, we thought we'd give it a try. We were pleasantly surprised and it was much better than we anticipated. Steve Smith took the characters (all of them, with the exception of Rick Green!) from the Red Green show and created a long comedy bit that actually flowed, made sense and was humorous. He pulled it off well without digressing from the original Red Green show format. Kudos to the writing. And it was good to see all the normal TV show characters involved. Others give the general plot format so I will not repeat it here. There are however maybe a half dozen places which are somewhat crude and could have been left out but that too can be said of the Red Green TV series as well. It is only for that reason that I give it a "4" instead of a "5". If you are a Red Green fan then this is highly recommended. | 11 | [

1 | I wanted to like it but it failed. | This is a really slick looking coffee maker. It actually worked very well....while it still worked. As with most of the one-star reviews on here, mine also failed. One day the brew light just would not go on, and it never brewed again after that. Now, I do not have enough space in my house to store all of the packaging from every small appliance I ever buy so I could not return it to Lowe's. My other option would be to send it back to the factory....however, I have done that before with Cuisinart, and of course it takes a few weeks to get a replacement. How am I supposed to go without a coffee maker in the meantime? But coffee at a local shop every day? That would add up quickly. Plus the $20 shipping (total both ways to the factory) to send it back and get another. Not worth it.I am just going to replace it with another brand. | 11 | [

1 | The Worst Northanger Abbey | I bought this movie years ago and was so excited to start a classic movie library. I am not usually a harsh critic, but this movie is one of the worst I have ever seen. I threw it in the trash. Years later, before the Andrew Davies version came out, I had forgotten how bad it was and figured I had overreacted in my judgement. So, I bought it again.....and threw it in trash again. Thankfully, a new version came out with Felicity Jones as Catherine and JJ Feild as Henry Tilney. This version really accomplished what I wanted to see. Andrew Davies screenplay. Who could ask for more? I would suggest they never reissue this version again. I would then encourage anyone wanting to see this well-written, well acted and totally engrossing story to run out and buy the Andrew Davies version and enjoy! | 11 | [

2 | It's amazing, buy it!! | What can I say, I love Christmas music and Sarah Mclachlan crooning to them. The recording is excellent. Very little compression that I could hear, just like most of Sarah Mclachlan's albums. Kudos to the production team. The better your playback system, the better this album will sound. Her voice is very warm and comforting, just what's needed to bring Christmas spirit out of everyone. There is no weak song here. Every song is distinctive with its own style. Can't go wrong with this CD people. BUY IT!!! | 11 | [

2 | Extraordinary | A friend of mine just saw R.M. Johnson on tour and bought a signed copy of his book and mailed it to me. It's the bomb. I read it in a day. I skipped all my classes, I was so hooked. I like discussing books as I read them. I must have called my friend who sent me the book twenty times in one day! I was so caught up in Zale and Martin and everything that I just had to talk about it! I'm a history major, but I know good writing when I see it. I just went out and bought eighteen copies (even though I'm on a student's budget---hope my folks don't freak out when they get the credit card bill). I sent books to my dad, my brothers, my best friend in Tucson, and pretty much anybody I could think of. Why isn't this man on Oprah? This kind of literature is right up her alley. It's remarkable. | 14 | [

NO NO NO. terrible. are they trying to be depressing and emo? their lyrics arent even sentimental or thought provoking: they suck. they are trying to immitate what many other bands can do better. when i first heard that blink was releasing a new album, i was stoaked. i purchased it and listened to it but i just cant seem to like it. #1 is alright, but then #5...what the hell? she is like talking for a half an hour...i want to hear some music, not listen to someone that sounds like nicole kidman read a love sonnet about WWII for an hour. dont buy this cd. if you are really insistant, download it. | 15 | [

2 | Top of the Line Engine Support | I wanted a better engine support than the cheap one I've been using. I chose this OTC brand because OTC is known to be top of the line equipment. The 1725 is a much better design than the old square tube models. Yes, it is wide enough for full size cars. Yes, it stays in place much better than the old square tube models. It is heavy and very strong. With proper care it should last for many years. If you do a lot of transmission work like I do, consider the OTC 1725 model. I'm glad I passed up the less expensive engine supports. I guess those are fine for occasional transmission work? As for the price, it's about the same as you would pay for a good 1/2" drive impact wrench. The OTC 1725 is a piece of equipment that will do great in your shop. | 12 | [

2 | This stuff rocks and I'll never be without it... | Lipton diet decaf lemon tea mix rocks. I used to drink ALOT of soda or do you say 'pop'...anyway, this is a great replacement. I wanted to get off the caffeine without going bland. The reason I opted for Amazon to deliver this to my door is simple. My local grocer does have it on sale every so often, but when it's not, it is expensive! I mean the price goes up to $5-6 per jar. With Amazon, I get a constant $3.50 per jar supply. The delivery guy shows up at my door once a month and sets me up with a new supply (you can choose other timing schemes). It is packed expertly (good since they still use glass jars). The boxes are firm, non-descript and come with air bag padding. So recycle and use the box when you need to send something! Hey, it's a WIN-WIN happenin' here! | 12 | [

2 | Highly recommend | I purchased one of these to use in the artist coop building I am a member of. We had 3 utility sinks in a row to clean paintbrushes or whatever. I would arrive at the sinks to find a mess because there was not really an easy way to rinse the sides and bottom of the sink. This was a great solution. The sprayer is attached to the furthest sink on the left and it can be stretched to clean the other 2 sinks. Problem solved. I liked it so much that I purchased a 2nd one to use at home for it's intended purpose...washing our dog. The package includes a variety of adapters to fit a variety of sinks. It fit the standard utility sink without using any adapter. My home utility sink is actually a restaurant sink and that faucet did require an adapter that was included. Highly recommend. | 11 | [

2 | Love these | A few months ago there was a stomach virus going around and what do ya know my whole family got it. Everyone got sick and vomited at least 10 times a day for like a straight week. Well everyone... but my brother and I. Guess what we were doing that they werent? ...Yea u got it we were taking these pills once or twice a day on a regular basis. We werent completely symptom free but we werent feeling sick like everyone else either. In fact we werent feeling nowhere near as sick as everyone else. Except for the weird feeling in my stomach there was nothing else out of the ordinary. And this is no exaggeration, if i was reading this i wouldnt believe it myself but hey TRY IT.It takes about 10 days before one can notice the effect of these things. But once youve been taking them for at least 10 days, you will handle all kinds of food way better, you will have 1 minute bathroom breaks. It just helps you feel great. | 11 | [

2 | quo gives a more rock pop flavor with this one | This was a strong quo release , however it wasn't harder rock as their releases had been since 1970. It has a mixture of it and poppier rock. But quo does great pop rock so that is not a problem, the band was still riding high and at their peak in many ways here. Fans of the harder rocking releases will like this one less than what came earlier perhaps but it's still a dynamic and fun release with several big hit singles on it. IN fact most quo cd's had several big hit singles on them! which is a awesome accomplishment. THis is still a strong cd with not a bad song on it unlike their 1983-2000 era of discs. (which still had lots of good songs but were often way too poppy). This is alot better though even the poppier songs have a rockier edge; songs like 'baby boy' could be a pop hit even today probably. The title song was taken from john fogerty who had a excellent release a few years earlier with it. That cd is worth owning too. | 11 | [

1 | Piece of junk - broke in a few months. | My father bought this boombox a few months ago. It worked great when he first bought it- everything worked, the sound was great etc. Now, when I play a CD is makes a whirring, scratching sound but it still plays the CD. Also, when I play a CD nothing shows up on the panel where it tells you what track your on or how long you are into the CD. It's blank and nothing shows up. And, the radio stopped working. I was trying to listen to the radio one day and it didn't work. There was nothing wrong with the antennae and I never dropped it or did anything to destroy it. It shows me the radio station but nothing plays, even though the volume is all the way up.Overall, this boombox is a piece of junk. Played the first few months and now the radio doesn't work, neither does the CD playing properly. Do not buy this product, yo9u will regret it and ask for a different one.1 out of 5 stars. | 11 | [

2 | The pitfighter Kamahl | Kamahl wants the mirari. Kamahl is a mountain bararian on a quest to win the pit fighting championship and the mirari, an orb which not many can touch. Few people can hardly touch the mirari without it consuming their soul. Kamahl has heard this but still wishes to posses the legendary orb.Krosan beasts seek the orb as well. A giant dragon comes to the Cabal arena and many fighters work to kill it. In the end however Kamahl throws the final blow to the huge monstrosity. The monster falls on top of Kamahl and everyone believes that Kirtar, an order liutenant, destroyed the beast. As a prize kirtar recieves the mirari. Kirtar is then ordered to an Order encampment where Kamahl tries to follow him, but by the time he gets to the citadel, Kirtar is already dead. the Mir ambassador Laquatas takes the orb down underwater. By the sea does Kamahl wait for his chance to posses the mirari. | 11 | [

1 | Not in Santa's Bag | This film has great cinematography. We see images of the last few days before Christmas spent in a prison, a couple of cheap motels, and a small casino. There are a lot of good snow-covered winter landscapes and an interesting bit involving ice fishing.But, simply put, this film is a joke! And it's supposed to be dead serious. It makes no sense. The plot is as shaky as the San Andreas fault.The actors appear to follow directions and follow a script. But directions and script lead them along a loopy road indeed. It occurred to me that one way to get the most out of this film is to just turn off the sound and make up your own story.Plus, it mocks the Christmas spirit. Imagine, Santa uses very bad words and fires automatic weapons at innocent people! A running joke is one character's repeated reference to Santa's "dwarves." Another character repeatedly corrects him and says it's Santa's "elves." At least, we learn something. | 12 | [

1 | Waring FS150 poorly designed | Bought this last week; returned it today. Took blade off after using it once to clean it, per the instructions (use quarter on slot) and follow markings on the unit itself (open with arrow and close in opposing direction). When I put the blade back on, it failed to align properly and provided an uneven cut (and smelled too strong of burn in also). Called Waring customer service, and they indicated that instruction manual was wrong, and that new instructions weren't always out there yet. Should have removed three Phillip screws to remove blade! Don't use slot. Waring expects home users to remove three screws every time to clean it! And says put nothing, not even the blade, in the dishwasher. How are you supposed to clean it thoroughly? By hand? Waring needs a new design team. This is among the most poorly thought thru in a long time. | 12 | [

1 | POOR EXCUSE FOR A RELEASE OF THIS TOUR | I mean, c'mon. The Stones and fans talk about how important the 1969 tour was, new guitar player, new live sound, new quiet audience. They were right, sure. But the 1989-90 tour was far more important. They basically got up and played song after song they never played before or at least not in many years. They never sounded that good live. They never stayed in tune thru the whole show before. Sympathy/Devil with the piano and congas just like the studio version. Where's all the songs from these shows???? Where's Undercover, 2000 Light Years From Home, Salt of the Earth? At least they included Factory Girl, good move. I'm glad I taped the Atlantic City show off the air. Much better than this..... | 13 | [

1 | A Waste of Time for Boingo Fans | Covers should be something special. They should be a combination of the original song mixed with the new artists take. Most of the songs on this album are straight covers. Much like 311's lovesong by the Cure cover. Nothing new, nothing Original added to the song. 2 songs do stick out. The Dead Man's Party Cover is different and the Aquabats Cover of Controller. These 2 songs at least play with the original songs and make something new. Something Different. The rest of the songs are note for note beat for beat the same as the Oingo Original, except done by that middle school garage band down the street that sucks. This could of been something good, idiots must of been put in charge. | 11 | [

I was concerned that a book with a plant as the main character might be boring . . . but noooooo . . . there's plenty of human characters, death, drama, famine, business, music, insects, politics, Ghandi wearing that white sheet thing . . .

2 | Excellent Capture Device | This device is a very good non-professional capture device. It seems a bit pricey but it is definately worth it. There are several reasons to like it. It is compatable with whatever operating system you have. This is because it does not require you to use their software and drivers. None are included, but don't worry. All operating systems have some kind of capture software bundled with them. I use cyberlink Power Director. Another reason to like it is you do not need a external power device. THIS ONLY APPLIES IF YOU HAVE A 6 PIN FIREWIRE (1394) PORT ON YOUR COMPUTER. If you have a 4 pin firewire port, you will need a 4 pin to 6 pin cable. If you have no port firewire port whatsoever, you cannot use this device. Also, it is a high quality device. The quality hardware is the reason this device is so expensive. Don't waste any money with cheaper devices. If you do, you will end up throwing the cheap one away. The cheap ones rarely work right. Three cheers for Canopus!!! | 19 | [

1 | Forget Gigli! | This should have taken the razzi. It's got no plot and its boring. There are many scenes that are unneccesary.Such as the scene where the girl shoots herself. She had the gun before, so she could have done it before getting in the van. Also, If she wanted to kill herself she should have just stayed with Leatherface. The acting is tres horrible too. so unbelivable. Especially when you see the rest of Leatherface's Family and the cop scene at the beggining. There is no shock value to this movie. It isn't the slightest bit disterbing. It's just a collection of murders and cruelty.SEE THE 1ST TCM. IT's 1000000 TIMES BETTER.I love scary movies. so here are some recommendations:TCM(1974), Tenebre, Videodrome, Suspiria, Bad Taste, Dead ringers, Actually any Cronenberg or Argento film will do. | 13 | [

2 | Valuable tool! | I've had mine for almost a month now. Have planed over 200 feet of air dried, 6" wide, rough sawn red oak. The first set of blades are dull enough to change. I am very happy with this tool so far. The dust hood is definitely a must, and I feel it should be included with the planer. The only minor problem that I have encountered, is that the infeed rollers get dirty quick and begin to slip. But with a little shove, the wood is on its way again. I am however disappointed that amazon deleted the few negative reviews that were here a couple weeks ago. They were not obnoxious, they were just being honest about their bad encounters with the tool. By deleteing these comments, it makes these reviews almost useless.Amazon, being critical of a tool is a good thing. It makes the manufacturers aware that there may be problems, and it only makes for finer quality tools in the future. | 11 | [

2 | Hannibal, "Master . . . master of puppets!" | I couldn't put the book down. For all the negative criticism I'd read, I was expecting a far worse ending. Like a puppetmaster, Hannibal controlled everything and everyone. He destroyed the agent in "Red Dragon," didn't he? Clarice, too, falls into his web. Not credible? Don't forget the drugs used and Lecter's command of psychology. I was rooting for him. Krendler was awful ( better off left lobotomized ). Mason was so sick, as to lose anyone's sympathy as a victim. Quite humorous, his demise by the very dogs he tortured. Okay, the pigs got to be a bit much, but a nice detail in that they smelled no fear on our dear Doctor. Hannibal is an awesome tale of horror, sometimes nightmarishly written, as if by stream of consciousness. Stephen King is about as frightening as R.L. Stine in comparison. As one review pointed out, I guess I AM in need of some serious therapy . . . just not with Hannibal Lecter, MD, please. | 19 | [

2 | Better and Better and Better...... | This is book 4 in the Kinsey Milhone Alphabet Mysteries and I am both glad and sad. Glad there is 22 more but sad there is only 22 more.Kinsey's new client doesn't last long. He appears in the first chapter but he makes a big impression. Somewhere along the lines of $25,000 worth! Kinsey is supposed to deliver the money to a young man but that proves pretty difficult because the young man doesn't want the money and a lot of other people do.I liked this one the best so far. The ending was an absolute stunner for me. I never saw it coming! (Doesn't that make for the best mysteries?) I really like the character of Kinsey. At first her demeanor was off putting--she's so emotionless and clinical and dry. Of course, those are also the qualities that make for such a good detective. Needless to say, I'm in this for the long haul and can't wait to see what Kinsey comes up with next. | 12 | [

2 | Don't waste money on therapy, watch SATC! | I can't say this is my favorite, they all are! These seasons get better and better with time. This show is not only entertaining it is constant trips down memory lane (I've said that, done that). Highs and lows of sex and love combined with brilliant humor. SATC literally shows every type of relationship out there and ones you never thought of. Especially good for the relationships one has had where you couldn't put your finger on what "that" was. Boom! You find it on these discs. Beneficial for men to watch as well. I could watch this over and over and over. SATC never gets old for me and I am sorry the story line had to end. I would have loved to see Carrie and Big, along with everyone else for a couple more seasons. | 12 | [

Paul wall is not complaining, 50/50 is not complaining and neither is Yung Ro. The other reviewer is not correct in their assumptions. By law, cham has to recieve money from this CD just as he did his other ones. I know he has a law suit out on PIF, But Pif has one out on him to for slander. But, anyway, enough of the drama. Get the CD and judge for yourself, you can't download it, PIF shut all of the illegal downloads plus they are watching out for that. So don't follow that stupid advice. The CD is good, man.

1 | U Do Get What U Pay 4 | Purchased two Hunter units in May 2009. One for upstairs/one for downstairs. Had no issues until Summer 2011. Downstairs thermostat stopped working. ERR message - tried everything to troubleshoot. Replaced with an old, manual thermostat (thank goodness my husband is a pack rat and won't throw anything away!) Then, last week, the upstairs unit began acting wonky. Went to a home improvement store over the weekend and that unit is now replaced with an "old-fashioned" manual thermostat. My friend's husband is an HVAC guy - he explained that this "just happens" sometimes with the programmable thermostats. Went back to examine the downstairs unit's motherboard and found a noticeable burn mark on the board. A bit gun shy so will stick with the old-style manual thermostats for now. | 11 | [

1 | Music for little girls! | Wow, what a weak album. First off, just what does this guy have against God? Sure, his band is terrible, but you can't blame God for that! I am luckily blessed every day by God's presents, and I don't need some 40 year old men who still act like teenagers insulting my main man. Hey guys, guess what? God is heavier and better than you ever will be. God created you, you ungrateful roaches!Now lets get to the album itself. It's nothing but Depeche Mode-like synth pop. If you look at the band's picture, then listen to this album, you'll be laughing non-stop! These guys sure do look pretty angry, but their music is just so soft! Vocalist Tom Arnold really knows how to write mainstream friendly, teeny bopper hits. If you're looking for something heavy to headbang too, I'd suggest skipping this and getting the latest from Hilary Duff or Metallica. | 12 | [

1 | Prequel (or Remake?) without the tension | First I'll say the John Carpenter one was very enjoyable. You could feel the tension and distrust between everyone. This one felt forced. The tension was never really believable from anyone aside from Ms. Winsted. She made it better though the only tension was when the Thing was hunting people. Everyone else seemed to be going through the motions. Second, I wasn't sure if I was watching the JC version or a prequel. I thought it was supposed to be a prequel, but it felt like I was watching John's version. Everything seemed lifted: from the test to the wandering in the storm. They did try and alter the test but it all felt too familiar.I will say I loved the tie in at the end. That partially made the movie for me. Fit very nicely into John's version. Aside from that, this was a pretty mundane creature feature that would have been better served with another name. | 13 | [

1 | Works, but kind of useless. | So I got this pan as a present. It's cute as a button and is made of solid materials. First the pros. It's not top of the line in terms of non-stick, but with a little butter it's pretty good. It heats evenly despite its size and mostly works. OK now the bad. The handle weighs more than the pan so it won't sit flat all the time. You have to wedge it and mess with it a LOT. Also, it's too small to fit a full size spatula in, so unless you have a mini one (like for pastries) don't count on flipping your egg. Now the worst part, the handle is ceramic, a great conductor of heat. Meaning you will burn yourself if you touch the handle without a glove. Do yourself a favor, spend a bit a more and get a good non-stick frying pan. This thing is now a cute Kitchen wall hanging for me. | 13 | [

1 | Another Creative disaster | Put in short words -- I've had to reformat three times because of this sound card. Running Windows 2000, the drivers become nonfunctional *instantly* after they are installed. The drivers are installed, then Direct X is installing... and it crashes. Every time. Any strain put on the computer causes crashing. Cant open large files, it will crash. The updates on the Creative site were less than helpful -- they require you to first install their "drivers" if they can even be called that, on the CD. Do not buy this product, or any Creative product. They make very poor drivers and so their product is very poor. I have had no sound because of this card for eight months, and several attempts to fix it. Their customer support is also barely worth mentioning. | 11 | [

Even, those beeps are interlaced with STATIC when heard through this headset. I press the Multi-function to activate the voice commands; and that communication between my phone and headset has static. Keep in mind, all this static is happening when my phone is a few inches away from the headset, clearly with a direct line of sight. I am returning this unit to Amazon.com. BUYER BEWARE! | 11 | [

1 | Bogus - Not a Shake Flashlight at all | Unfortunately, this product is NOT what it purports to be. Beyond that, it is almost certainly a scam. Here's why.My son was doing a science fair project and we needed a linear induction coil ... which is what a shake flashlight is. I bought two of these. A shake flashlight (a.k.a. Faraday flashlight) uses the movement of a magnet through a coil to generate electricity. This is usually stored in a capacitor.In THIS flashlight:* The metal that moves through the coil is not magnetized. It's motion will never produce electricity.* The wires on the coil are not connected to anything, they are just made to look like they are.* The flashlight works right out of the box because they used batteries instead of a capacity. That could be ok, but the batteries are not of a rechargeable type.Shake flashlights certainly exist. The last one I bought at Target works great. However, this is a bogus product. Very disappointing. | 14 | [

Some critisize it, yet I believe it to be one of the most passionate voices I have ever heard. The entire album is filled with these songs; Push used to be my favorite song until I heard the album. Now practically every song is my favorite; "Back to Good," "Hang," "Busted," "Long Day" and "Push" are my favorite on the album. Each one express a different emotion which we all feel at some time in our lives. Rob Thomas actually did make the Santana song; he wrote it! Without him Santana may not have made such a big come back (which is good since they're awesome). I cannot wait until May 23 when their new album comes out; hopefully it will be as good as this one is. All in all, Rob Thomas is a wonderful and talented musician who writes almost all of his own songs and sings with immense passion as well as intensity. This album is a great one to have! | 11 | [

2 | A MUST-SEE!!! | I am extremely shocked! I felt the need to bash all these negative reviews in here from their existence. Moulin Rouge! is definitely one of the best movies of 2001. Ewan and Nicole blew me away with their performances in this movie. Everything was perfect in this movie. The songs were one of the best I've heard all around. I am so happy that this movie got 6 GOLDEN GLOBE NOMINATIONS. Without a doubt it is definitely going to win BEST PICTURE and BEST ACTRESS. Nicole Kidman shines in this movie. I strongly recommend this movie. Don't hesitate. BUY IT NOW! [...] | 14 | [

2 | My Son's Got This Whole Book Memorized! | I started reading this book to my son when he was 3. He is now 8 and still loves the book so much that he has memorized every poem in the book. He has also shared it in school. I think it is the imagery that got him the most. Classic poetry it is not - it is quite contemporary. That is what young kids love. The poetry made my son laugh and giggle. It also had quite a variety of "stories" so to speak. If you can get past the non-offensive use of the word "turd" in the first poem, you will be fine! As a first grade teacher, I have no problem explaining that while it is not a word that I want to hear from them, it is not considered profanity. It is along the lines of the word "stupid" in my mind.If it is captivating your audience that you want, this book of poems is sure to do it! Eventually, students will want to read these poems on their own! | 12 | [

2 | Cinderella does exist! | On impulse, I bought this book at the airport. I had seen previews for the upcoming movie. It looked quite comical. I greatly enjoyed reading about a girl who is NORMAL. She thinks she doesn't fit in because she is geeky, not brilliant, and often dreams about a certain boy. Anyway, she has a Cinderella time when she finds out that she is heir to a kingdom! But, all is not perfect in Manhattan. Her friends at school find out that she is a princess. Her mother is dating her Algebra teacher. UGH! Her grandmother insists that she take Princess Lessons. Mia does survive it all! I strongly advise that you read it before the movie hits the theaters on August 3rd. I am presently on my way to the bookselller to pick up book PD II!! | 15 | [

2 | We've had 2 of these! | My brother knows a lot about electronics, and bought this for us as a Christmas gift. It was wonderful! We especially liked the TV band, so we could listen to the local news while in the shower in the morning. Unfortunately, it died after about a year in the shower. That's the only reason I don't give it 5 stars. We went out and bought another shower radio with CD Player (a feature we never use), but the reception is poor and the speakers aren't great. So we're ordering another one of these radios. This time, we'll hang it at the BACK of the shower, to minimize the water damage. Hopefully that will help it last longer, because it really is a great radio. And, in our experience, once you get used to having a radio in the bathroom, it's hard to do without one. We're also buying one for a "White Elephant" Christmas gift exchange. | 11 | [

2 | INSPIRED! | "Goddess" is something more than the usual fare. Nothing else that Troika has done comes close to this truly inspired work. It is as if the music is a language designed to remind us of all we have forgotten,all that is worth remembering. I listened to this in wonder, and found myself transported to states of laughter, of forgiveness, of hope and joy. In this music, I found forgotten beauty, softness, tenderness.Definitely not just your average New Age fare. For meditation, for exploration, for remembering, for sheer pleasure,"Goddess" will not disappoint you. I highly recommend spending some time with this one. If enlightenment through music is appealing,close your eyes and listen. This will carry you far in that direction. And if it's just pleasure you're after, this will fit that bill as well. You can't lose with this one. | 11 | [

2 | When Woo-Woo Isn't Wonderful | The one thing about New Age is that it plays the blame game. Just listen carefully and you will see reductionist thinking to control the Universe. Sorry ... no one is that powerful. This is an old book but a worthy read before you dabble.There is such a thing as magic and the world of spirit has positive and negative entities. Unless you were born like Edgar Cayce with psychic ability and profound healing talents, stay away from this stuff. Not only is it dangerous like a Pandora's box but it will tamper with your spiritual foundation. Metaphysics is NOT New Age. New Age is a culture of hodge-podge spirituality without the accountability.The core motivation in people who are seeking New Age is often a need to control. They want to learn magic and all sorts of psychic arts so they can manipulate events. The tragedy is that spiritual bondage may happen. There are many spirit-based tools out there but the key, like many things, is discernment. | 11 | [

2 | American McGee's Alice Review | I have never layed an "M" game before, and when I first played this game, I never wanted to stop it was so much fun! American McGee's Alice is a brand new story of "Alice In Wonderland". When Alice was a little girl, her house cought fire and she was put in a mental hospital so she wouldn't kill herself. (Because her parents died in the fire.) She somehow falls through a wormhole into Wonderland. She is greeted by the white rabbit, who has changed alot, along with the chesher cat. Somthing has gone terribaly wrong. Somehow, Wonderland has become all evel. It is up to Alice (you) to journey through the lands and defeat the red queen. This game is rated "M" for mature users. This game is a violent thriller and has you leaning on the edge of your chair. I highly recomend this game! | 12 | [

2 | Sonya Blade looks pretty sexy!!! | This game is one of the best Mortal Kombat parts ever. The graphic is very good and also the sound is enjoyable, but the voices of these characters are sometimes the same. These voices are not good enough but everything else is fantastic. My favourite fighters are Jax (Height: 6'6" 198cm), Johnny Cage (Height: 6'1" 185cm) and that sexy woman named Sonya Blade (Height: 5'10" 179cm). Sonya Blade is one of the best created fighter. Sometimes I doubt to Sonya if there is a real actor behind her. Also the actors of Sonya like Kerri Hoskins and Elizabeth Malecki are not ugly. Sonya Blade is the most sexy fighter in whole Mortal Kombat. Take Kitana and and make that Kiss of Doom against Sonya. Kitana's Fatality: down, up, forward twice and press triangle. You will see that her fatality will blow up Sonya until she explodes. | 11 | [
