1 | Please get back with Primo... | I've been a Gang Starr fanatic since "Manifest". This album by GURU is downright disappointing. An embarrasment to a legendary figure in rap music. I mean damn... of all the peeps GURU's worked with over the years, I know he could have gotten someone better on the boards than Solar. Those beats are straight up weak. Not suited to GURU's style of flow at all. I'm only going to listen to it one more time to make sure I didn't miss anything and then to the used CD store. GURU was a hero for rap music on his crusade against wackness, but this album will sit in the pile of wackness that is rap music of this era. It's such a shame. DON'T GO OUT OUT LIKE THIS GURU! I'VE BEEN TO TOO MANY OF YOUR SHOWS AND BOUGHT TOO MANY OF YOU ALBUMS AND SINGLES TO THINK THIS IS HOW YOUR GOING TO REPRESENT. BURY YOUR DIFFERENCES AND MAKE MUSIC WITH PREMIER AND SHOW THE WORLD HOW IT'S SUPPOSED BE DONE CAUSE THIS AIN'T IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 13 | [

1 | The magic of disappearing acts and files. | DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK. Where's the magic?? I should have read the reviews before I bought this book. Instead I was lured in by the step by step projects, some of which matches what I want to do with my current project. The CD that came with the book doesn't contain any .fla files or project files in the "projects" folder. Just useless .swf files. The same damn files are repeated in the sample "movies" folder. So as you read the chapter and attempt to follow the instructions to recreate the project, you can't! You don't have any of the files the chapters refer to. You don't have anything to work with except your imagination.I called the publisher and got the run around. Got transferred to five different numbers each with their own automated menu or message. Shame on you New Riders/Pearson Education. Never again will I buy another New Riders book!!! | 14 | [

1 | Just, OK... He's not really trying | OK, so he mixed it up on this album, tried a few different things. Just because you do something different, doesn't mean it's good. This album isn't good. It's just OK.I can't vouch for how true country fans feel. I don't like new country, but I've loved Junior Brown's work for years. The rest of the new country music out there is just lifeless, and poppy standard music.... that's where this disc went. The exuberance of his past albums relied on fun guitar work, and silly songs. This album has the silly songs, but the guit-steel (his trademark) just seems like an aside. Overall, this album is upbeat, but stale and very corny. I just don't feel that there is any edge or real soul put into this album. It's very disappointing. | 11 | [

1 | Worse than a bad Mexican soap opera - zero stars | Ever watched one of those really poorly done Mexican soap operas? This was just that painful. I was really looking forward to this book as my family is Hungarian. I know all of the locations in the book and thought it would be enjoyable to visit them again, though in print. It was not. This book was garbage from beginning to end. There was not a single character I cared one bit about. Kept expecting it would get better, but it never did. What a terrible disappointment of a hyped up book. Pity is wasn't available at my library, as I had to spend the money on Phillips'junk. this was my book group book for the month. We all try not to discuss how we are liking a book during the month, and to wait until our meeting. We met last night and the was NOT ONE person who didn't agree this was the worst book ever. | 13 | [

2 | Intense, Fun, and Truly One of Her Best!!! | I have read a lot of bad reviews for this one, but I still wanted to try it. I'm so glad I did. I had fun with this one. The first part was heart-elevating, sort of dancey, and real fun. The second part was intense, but fun. I did the whole tape at once and when I was done I was dripping with sweat. The music was pretty good too, especially in the 2nd workout. A real winner in my workout collection. One of her best. Real fun and effective. My only wish would be that it would last longer. | 11 | [

1 | The worst Kodak digital camera | A great camera in many areas. It is handy and full of features. However, there are several major problems that makes DC4800 almost unuseable: 1. The flash is so weak that you cannot really use it for good indoor result. 2. Under a good indoor lighting environment,the camera cannot auto focus properly when zoom in. The subjust is always out of focus and the subjusts behind are clear. 3. When adjusting the optical zoom to the telephoto setting, the digital zoom automatically comes on without any warning. The zoom is very annoying to use. 4. The delete pictures function from the software CD does not work properly. | 12 | [

1 | Freezes at regular intervels | The new installation from cd is Excellent. very user friendly and any one with out knowledge about router can install one. This great installation wouldn't help if the router it self does not work. It worked good for around 10 hours and there began trouble. At regular intervals the router is freezing . So I updated the firmware ( My ver. is 8.0.0.. and updated to 8.0.2...). There was no use, the problem continued so, I ordered replacement which I got in no time. The hell with the new one is very serious. It didn't even last five hours. I have to restart the router and again after 5-10 hours it freezes again. | 11 | [

1 | Run away. | Considering this is an iconic horror film, it was awful. Jack was terrific and so was the cast, but the movie was slow and draggy. I cannot understand what all the fuss was about. My wife told me we'd love it. And it had its moments. Perhaps it could be that both film and production values have gotten SO much better, that this seemed out of place. Nope, that's not it. I can watch a Hitchcock film and enjoy it as much as I did back in the day. But really, rent or buy something else. Unless you just need sleep. In that case, it is perfect. | 11 | [

2 | Not as good as his LOVE CHANGES EVERYTHING | The first thing that I did not like about this CD is that the songs on this CD are not identified where they were first heard in a musical or whatever. Since I had never heard some of the songs, I was disappointed not to know where they originated. I like the second disc of this two disc CD better than the first. In that disc, his voice was more appealing to me, and he showed a sense of humor. In the first disc, I found myself wishing someone other was singing the song such as VINCENT; maybe Josh Groban, Don McClean, or Clay Aiken. In the second disc, his BRING HIM HOME was as good as I have heard. He even wrote one of the songs himself which was interesting. I like this singer a lot. I liked him better in LOVE CHANGES EVERYTHING. I don't know if doing it before an audience changed the way it came out. There are some of the same songs on both CDs such as THIS IS THE MOMENT and GESTHEMANE. | 11 | [

1 | Please don't read this | What a terrible book. It's slow and mostly pointless at times. Think of all the excitement you have working in a cubical with situations much less funny than those you'd see in Office Space. That is the premise of this book. I went into this book thinking:1. This a great author!2. All the characters are about my age!3. I'd love to see what working in Microsoft was like when things were just starting to get huge!4. My friends and I are all computer nerds. This is EXACTLY what it are going to be like when I graduate college this year!I was wrong on all counts. There is nothing I, as a 21 year old tech-savvy, internatioanl business major, could relate to. It lacks an interesting plot. It lacks characters the reader can enjoy. The only reason I'm giving it 2 stars is because of a few mildly interesting situations scattered few and far between in the book. Go. Read ANYTHING else. | 16 | [

1 | Better options available | My in laws got this for my then 12 month old son for use at their house. The seat padding is vinyl, and he sticks to it as does everything else. There are so many creases in the padding that it is not always easy to clean. To make matters worse, this seat is HUGE. If you are looking to save space, this is not the seat for you. Once it is strapped to a chair, it takes up as much room as a normal high chair. Also, the arms are too high, so it does not fit under the dining room table.Now that my son is 2 1/2, it is even less functional. He is too big to be using the tray. In my opinion, a toddler should eat at the table with the rest of the family and not be treated like a baby. This is very difficult with this seat as it does not slide under the table.At half the price, theFisher-Price Healthy Care Booster Seatis a much better option. It is compact, can go anywhere with you, and transitions easily from baby to toddler. | 11 | [

2 | Great pans! | I've had these pans for about 18 months and they are awesome! Nothing will stick to them. Last Christmas I had my whole family over and we baked a ham on the cookie sheet. My mom told me I'd have to soak the pan to get the goo off. She was amazed when I sprayed it with some water and wiped it clean. She said "I want some of these pans!" Guess what she is getting this Christmas? YEP! Her own set. You do need to be careful about not using metal utensils on them. Mine have a couple of scratches from other people using a knife to cut with, but the finish is not peeling like it does with the cheaper brands. I just use a plastic knife and it works fine...no scratches! Also, I do not put mine in the dishwasher. They're so easy to wash, you really don't need to anyway. | 14 | [

1 | Save Your Money | I recently purchased this product for my 7 year old daughter. She wanted to learn how to sew and I thought this sewing machine would actually work since it was a Singer product. Well, I wish I would have read the reviews instead of buying on impulse. We tried making a purse and it was a horrible experience. The machine does not work. The only think that works is the pedal. The stitches unravel as soon as she stops sewing. I became frustrated as we tried to stitch the same piece over and over again. The machine is awful! It was a waste of money and it's going back to the store. I am giving the product a one rating because she did understand how to make a simple purse. I will be researching other machines. I will make sure there is a bobbin this time! Save yourself the headache and don't waste your money on this one! I'm avoiding plastic this time. | 15 | [

2 | Love from Lisa, Dale, Scott, Janet, Sherry, Nancy, Don, Kate | I can't believe this...I saw you guys open for Ann and Nancy Wilson in Seattle a couple of years ago and you blew me and my friends away. We wanted to jump on stage and just rock with you. Man! We RAWKED SOOO Hard that night. We didn't want it to end. I ran across you guys on Amazon and this CD is amazing! Did everyone hear that. They are one of the best live bands I've ever seen. Are you guys huge yet? We all have huge crushes on you, the most beautiful, energetic all female band, ever. All of us, men and women. Pope Jane is SO AMAZING! So Full of Raw Desire...Superstars. Better than the Indigo Girls, more powerful than Ani DiFranco, able to leap tall buildings with a single song, faster than Sheryl or Sarah. The singer reminded us of a young Ann Wilson. And isn't that Kelly Strantz managing you. She's good. No B.S. and pretty powerful in this town. She's a keeper too. Love you guys and see you at the Grammy's. People, buy this CD. | 22 | [

1 | big disappointment | I bought this bra because of Oprah's nod to the product. However, this bra is a minimizing bra. It mushes you until you look like you have a small overly padded chest. The worst part is the quality. I bought this bra less than a year ago and on both sides, under the arms the fabric has "split". On both sides the seams tear out. Now I have to admit, I do not always wash my bra's as recommended, sometimes they get thrown in with the wash however I do not wash them daily. I really was looking for a high quality bra for a full figure. This may be for a full figured person but it does not flatter. A plain old wonderbra in a large size works better. At least you look pretty and not like you are wearing armor under your shirt. | 11 | [

1 | Can I return this? | I just finished watching this movie. I couldn't stand it. There was no alpha storyline. Ryu didn't fight any other streetfighters from the game besides Ken. Birdie is like a good guy. The other streetfighter fights are terrible. This is not for a fan. Unless you're an all out Ryu mark. I left the room. Look I really had problems with this. I'm going to try and take it back tomorrow, but if they won't take I'll be selling it for 3 dollars. E-mail me. | 12 | [

2 | About Pain, and Risk, and Friendship | I watched this movie four times in two days. It's a small, cinematic miracle. The writing is perfect, the performances of the three leads both heartbreaking and fall-down funny. It haunts you. I know these people. I am these people.Writer/director Tom McCarthy does a rare thing in modern film-making. He respects both his audience and his characters enough not to tell the whole story. When Olivia asks Fin not to stare, when Joe says grace in the most reverently irreverant way, when Fin demands that the crowd "take a look!"; there are rivers of backstory to all these characters. And we know what they are without being told. This film has the sometimes awkward intimacy of a play. I've never seen anything remotely like it.I hear Dinklage is playing the lead in Richard III. Wish I could see it. When he's in anything else I'll be first in line for a ticket. | 14 | [

1 | Lock Your Doors | Positives:(1.) Well acted; almost too well acted such that I have to wonder about the actors. Certainly don't want them as neighbors.(2.) Creative gruesome behaviors. Perhaps a little too sick for a healthy mind.(3.) Nice flow to the story so kudos to the director and writers for that part.(4.) Reminded me of the Hong Kong movie "Dream Home"; the movie "Neighbors" and another "mom with dysfunctional, not so nice, kids" movie from a couple years back but, sorry, can't remember it's title.Negatives:(1.) Usual dumb decisions by cops, and hostages too numerable to mention. Writers can be a bit more creative than that! Example: Survivor, in hospital, gives address of crime scene to hospital staff and only fire trucks show up hours later and to attend to a fire.(2.) Way too predictable ending that some bad people survive to carry on with their child abductions and probable future crime activities. | 11 | [

1 | ok | It looks ok, but it is not as nice looking as in the picture. The ink sometimes leaks out, and makes a mess of things - sign of a cheap pen. The twist factor in it felt somewhat lose at first, now after 4-5 months of using it is really lose, and goes in/out almost with writing an 'a'. I have always been annoyed by rolling ball pens that have ink pile up at the tip so you have to 'wipe' it ,but this one does that from time to time. Relatively expensive nice looking pen that doesn't act like it.Sort of like this: you are used to driving an audi and bought a kia, because it looked almost like the audi and they said it performs just like the audi. well, it does not perform like an audi. it only looks like one on tv :)Money saving tip: save your money until you can buy the audi: Montblanc. The 'maybe just good enough ' is just not good enough. Cheap pens do the same thing and don't cost as much. Did I just say that - yes, I did. So that is the best description of this pen. Overpriced. | 12 | [

1 | Nightmare product | Lots of problems with this product. Frameitall is garbage--Don't Buy!Problems: 1. All timbers have stickers that are difficult to remove and that leave a sticky mess on the product. 2. Caps will not fit securely on all hinges giving product a junky look and weakening structure. 3. Screws that hold the hinges to the timbers strip the composite plastic and will fall out. 4. Cost--something this flawed that also has high shipping charges will leave you angry and frustrated. If you are trying to buy something to look good and last in your yard for a playground enclosure or landscaping look elsewhere. If you are trying to waste money on a cheaply constucted and expensive product, frameitall is the way to go for you. | 11 | [

1 | DO NOT BUY | I had bought this piece, it looked good on the web and listed some good features. It DOES NOT work at all. When I called people, they could NOT hear me at all. The music that gets turned on when you put someone on hold was not playing inside the phone itself but rather it was some sort of a CHEAP radia playing outside, so the person waiting on the other end of the phone wont hear it but you would hear it. This phone looks so very cheap and tacky. It broke within a week. The seller is also NOT friendly at all. At the end I ended up losing my money and breaking this piece of cheap tacky so called phone and throwing in trash. Dont go by the way is looks on the page, it looks VERY VERY taqky in real. Hope I helped you. Thanks! | 11 | [

1 | Loved it while it lasted...... | My wife bought me a 8GB for XMas and we exchanged gifts on Wednesday prior to the holiday. I loved it....worked great!!!! I went out and bought a protective cover for it, a screen protector, and an FM transmitter for the car. Everything worked great and I told my wife it was one of the best gifts I've gotten. I love the whole setup. Well the thing went blank (white) the next day to my dismay--2 hrs wasted downloading iTunes, picking out my songs, etc. plus now I have to go back and return it. Tried all the advice on the internet about the "White Screen Of Death" but no matter what I tried, it wouldn't turn off/work no matter what I did. Hmmm...if I wanted a faulty product, I'd buy something that was made by Microsoft. Well back to Best Buy to get a replacement!!!(I know all products have some random bad apples so heres to hoping this was just an isolated solution.)YRMV...... | 12 | [

1 | I hope I die before the next one&judging from history I will | Unfortunatly, I was sucked into this retched *trilogy* by the author's name. Worse yet, I cannot put down garbage like this once I have started. (Yes, I am compulsive-obsessive) The first three books in this series were far fetched and not very well written, but at least the plot was slightly interesting. I was livid when I got to the end of the third book and it just stopped. It seems to me there are better ways to pay for that new house than to put out a book that is still in progress! I waited...for a *very* long time for this book. I was disgusted!!! It is poorly written, with a sloshy plot that is beyond the realm of sci-fi, meandering into blithering, unbelievable rantings. It explores nothing. It brings up no interesting concepts or ideas. I was ill by the time I finished it! I do want to thank Mr. king for finally curing me of my incessant need to finish a series even if it is trash though. I will not read the next book. | 13 | [

2 | So Good It Stopped My Pain | I am a fan of Richard Whittingham's work and normally would have eagerly anticipated his new RITES OF AUTUMN. But my life had become far from normal. I was three days past very invasive day-long surgery, half way through a 23 day hospital stay. Despite a lot of drugs, I was hurting like hell when my wife brought in RITES after dinner. Here is how good that book is. Since the operation I was exhausted by 9PM and, after more medication, feel asleep soon after. But this night I began the book and stayed up until 2PM finishing it -- literally feeling no pain. I paid for this splurge the next day without regret. Then September 11th happened on my TV and I got so depressed I read RITES again. Again I was carried away, now from America's tragedy. Obviously, I am grateful for this wonderful work and recommend it to anyone interested in out nation's rich traditions. Like Whittingham's other work, RITES OF AUTUMN is far more than a sports book. | 12 | [

Avril IS an artist, Kelly is not. She is a rock star's kid, and because of that, she is famous. Because of that, she has the chance to make records. C- Like I said before, don't buy it unless you are a huge fan. Most people are right in comparing her to The Donnas..the sound is very simalar. I'm not too sure if she is trying to be pop, or punk. Whatever it may be, I am stuck in the middle. I like some, some I don't. All in all, I would have to say that this is one that you just have to listen to for yourself. | 13 | [

2 | THIS GAME PUTS ALL THE SMACKDOWN GAMES TO SHAME | My cousin bought this game the 4th day it came out and we started playing it. We were impressed, very impressed. DOR2 has more to this game then the 1st one. The graphics are amazing. New characters like Eugene, Muhamad Hussan, Rene Dupree (Comes out with fe'fe), Cristy Hemmy, (But no Lita grrrr). I'm kind of saden about the legends though not really. Stone Cold Steve Austin, Hogan, The Rock, and Mankind (But no Andre). The New submission and Stamina system are great in this game. There are a couple of glitches and loading sucks. But other than that This game beats all other wrestling games. This maybe the last THQ wrestling game for GC (Probably DOR3 for Revolution) but this is the greatest of all time. Don't rent it. Buy it you'll love it | 13 | [

1 | B movie drek | Lots of people love turtldove's work. I must say that I don't get it. His novel's plots are like poor versions of 40's serial stories. This book is no exception. On the advice of a friend I made my way through the whole series. Take my advice. Don't waste your time. The plot is thin and hacknied. The historical characters are flat. The characters he creates are little more than props to move the predictable plot along.Where to begin? Does anyone ever believe that the Alien's have a chance? Are the german's really this dumb? Are the people who fought world war II really this simple minded? Please.Turtledove, I am sure, has made a lot of money churning out these books. Good for him. Just pity those who read them.If you want good speculative fiction, I suggest K. Dick or Harry Harrison. Both have done better and more intersting work. | 17 | [

2 | Top-of-the field; incredible book; makes you think! | This book got me going from page one. A lot of people say that about a lot of books. But this book has an unbelievable ability to grab you and keep you. I was sweating from the first few minutes! The climax was totally unexpected. It left me literally out of breath. I've read thousands of books. Not many have this effect. While this is a technothriller, one thing I, as a woman, really liked was that it had good character development and a lot of humor. It made me care about the people, and about our country's future. It's patriotic, without being sappy or ridiculously macho. I've recommended it to dozens of people. I'm eager to see how the author will top this one with the rumored sequel! Get it and pass the word. This author's on his way up! | 15 | [

2 | A novel worth savoring | Reading Moon Tide, to me, was like savoring a nice, full-bodied glass of red wine. I not only read Dawn Clifton Tripp's words, I swallowed them. It is simply that rich. She went where most authors do not dare to go - to the otherworldly spiritual place where dreams are formed. This is precisely where real awakenings can occur. Tripp treats her characters with the same respect she has for the coastal setting for the stories. Her characters, like the landscape, are powerful and earthy. In her characters, she weaves the dark and light in a sympathetic, natural way. Like the landscape, they are rich, complex, beautiful, luminous, and dark. Ultimately, Eve is the story of so many of us who shut down. Yet, what was so compelling was how natural and gentle she is with the characters who face pain and also cause pain. She writes like someone with life experience beyond her years. This is so much more than a regional novel, it is the very organic stuff of life. | 13 | [

2 | Flat out awesome | Michael Connelly is a master, plain and simple. This novel had me mesmerized from the beginning and I found it hard to put down. Connelly does not waste words, pages or sentences. Everything he writes matters. One of the things I really enjoyed about this book is that the main character, Harry Bosch, is in every scene. There is no flashing back and forth from chapter to chapter (killer to cop and back, etc.) I found this really helped with the pacing of the book and kept me enthralled the entire time. If you have read Connelly before this is a must read. If you have never read him, this is a great place to start. Connelly is poetic in a non-literary way and after this novel is now classified as one of my favorite authors. Period. | 11 | [

1 | Useless for home AV | Bought this online from someone else. This is a review of the product, not Amazon.I have a 52" LCD, DirecTV box, PS3, xbox360 and an Onkyo receiver hooked up to this piece of junk. I'm sure it's protecting my system. Wanna know how I know? Well, whenever I turn on a light in my kitchen it powers down the whole unit. My other equipment plugged into the same outlet is working just fine. I have to turn the power back on to the unit, and then I have to reset my Onkyo. Umm, that's not why I bought this. I bought this for power failures. Not to create power failures. So, obviously it is protecting the equipment, but at the expense of never being able to use it.Save yourself the time and money. Buy something else. Or don't buy anything at all. You'd probably be better off. | 14 | [

1 | NOT WORTH ONE STAR | National Geographic should be ashamed of itself, putting its name on this terrible video. I own many N.G. videos and DVDs; some are interesting, and some are boring. However, none were superficial until this one. This video is only 1/2 hour long, and it consists of 1) a woman's voice trying to sound ominous, and 2) very brief and superficial shots of some reptile predators. This video gives no information on habitat, habits, or even areas where the given reptiles are found. The "re-enactments" are so clumsily done that they are laughable.I gave this video one star only because No Stars was not an option. My opinion of N.G. has greatly fallen. DON'T BUY IT !! | 11 | [

2 | Very Pleased | I am a pretty die hard fan of film, so I was very hesitant to buy a digital camera. My opinion was finally swayed when I recently went on a trip to Ireland for a wedding. My sister had the digital camera and I the film. I was so delighted to be able to see her pictures right away that I decided to buy one of my own when we got home.I chose the Kodak brand because 2 of my family members have one and rave about them. I agree. They are easy to use for everyone. This one was $279.99 when I purchased it and I couldn't be happier. It is quick, has great quality and I LOVE the features. I really like the option of being able to choose how many MP you want to use up for each picture. That makes it simple for email and prints. Overall I have no complaints about this camera. Enjoy! | 12 | [

1 | Not Good, No Bass, CVE31 or Coby Jammerz r better | Coby makes good sounding earbuds... the CVE31 or the Jammerz anyway. I purchased these in February 2012. I bought them because I have numerous pairs of the CVE31's and the Jammerz and they sound great. I share them with my boys and anyone who needs a new pair of headphones. They're so inexpensive a person can easily do that. I bought these because I like the volume button on the cord but that's where the plus for them ends.I thought something was wrong with either my ears or the device. Nope. It's the CVE91's. They really suck as far as the sound goes. I did multiple switcharoo tests with different devices in comparison to the CVE31's and the Jammerz. The 31's and J's won every time with any device. Glad I only bought one pair of these. I'm serious about my music and the headphones or earbuds must work acceptable to me and these just didn't.No dis to those that they do work for, we all have different taste's. | 13 | [

2 | Worth the cost | This light is very durable. It seems to have been designed around protection for the bulb. On construction sites it is common for things to get banged up. This light won't fall through the floor joists in an open attic and throws light in all directions. It really doesn't get hot to the touch so there is no need to let it cool off before putting it away. The receptacle on the base is a nice added feature. I don't know what a replacement bulb costs and I don't know how long it is expected to last but mine has gotten smacked a few times and works fine. The only thing I don't think will hold up is the handle. It is plastic and seems a little flimsy. Mine has not cracked or broken but seems like the weakest part of the light. I would buy another one if I needed it. | 11 | [

2 | Strong Musical Voice | I love Maura O'Connell's voice. When I like one of her songs I love listening to it. This is probably my favorite of her albums and paired with Wandering Home probably contains all my favorite songs, with the exception of Summerfly and Western Highway (on CD Helpless Heart).Tracks:1. Every River2. I Wonder3. Walls4. Don'T Ask Why5. Poor Man's House6. A Far Cry7. Long Ride Home8. I Get Lost9. Crazy Love10. Blessing11. To The Homeland12. Sleepy Eye'd BoyTrack 3, Walls, is a beautiful song. Has been redone by other artists but Maura's version is by far the best. A lot of emotion comes through. Poor Man's House is beautiful, sad, great song. Long Ride Home is pretty, never been a real favorite but I always like listening to it. I'm not crazy about her version of Clapton's I Get Lost. Blessing is excellent.If you are looking for something folk, something country, something Irish, something pretty, I recommend this CD. | 21 | [

2 | TERRORIZED AT TWELVE, SMILING AT SIXTY | I am So happy to have found this film. When I was little I saw this and couldn't sleep all night . I was terrified. My mother actually sat up with me and gave me a glass of milk. LOLNow I find this just plain fun to watch. The funny part is how the Army comes out in their TANKS (along with their theme song)after a few people have been "taken" by UFO's. Not exactly how the Army would act now! They would say, "Case Closed or Else." File under "Classified."The acting is really good. One policeman, if you look closely, is the doctor on Gunsmoke! Doc whatshisname.

2 | I love this series! | I know it's a bit difficult to find, but it's worth the effort. This is a wonderful series, and this particular book is particlarly good. If you haven't read Lindsey Chamberlain than I suggest that you do. She's a wonderfully real and likeable heroine. In this book Ms. Connor melds the sixteenth century with the current century seamlessly. Lindsey is involved in an archeological dig of a sixteenth century Spanish ship that went down off the coast of Georgia. Her and her crew are challenged with the exciting job of unearthing an old, old story, and while they do that they unearth a sixteenth century murder. And it seems that murders are happening in around the site as well. Of course Lindsey cannot rest until she uncovers the truth. These books are real page-turners, and the archeological information that comes out is incredible. Ms. Connor is a professional archeologist, and her knowledge is very extensive. | 11 | [

2 | for the alton ellis song alone..... | I thought this was a great buy. I haven't heard some of these tracks since I was a kid. A good number of these artists bring on the funk. I love each artist's take on the Beatles. On the 3rd cd Alton Ellis brings the fever. His take on "And I Love Her" is hotter than the Beatles could even imagine. That was the jam back when. Not every song is stellar, but overall I'm happy that I bought it. If you are a Beatles fan who dabbles in reggae, you may not like it. If you are a reggae lover who loves the Beatles you'll dig it. Overall tight collection. | 11 | [

1 | Overblown Hype: Big-time Disappointment Here | First of all let me say I really wanted to like PJ's KK. It saddens me to say this thing was just overdone in every conceivable way. NY opening, boat trip, Skull Island, Back to NY...all way too long. Dinosaur fight scenes go on forever (and why did Jackson think three T-Rexes would be better than one??? because they ain't). Spider-pit scene is just plain gross and, once again, goes on too long. This film suffers what I'm calling the 'Matrix' effect. Like the Matrix sequels what would have made a decent, no more than 2hr film, becomes an overlong snoozer. Give a director creative carte blanche and a blank check and you get an overblown mess. Someone should have made Jackson deliver a movie an hour shorter. Save the version I was subjected to theatrically for the 4 disc DVD you know is coming in time for Christmas this year. | 11 | [

2 | Tom Still Has It!! | I purchased this video after seeing Tom live in a concert he held in Englewood, NJ. After all these years of following Tom, and purchasing his songs, he still has what it takes to get people off their seats! This video is great!!! I can't wait for the next one! What a treat! I think he is as handsome as he was in the 60's/70's. His voice never fails. The camera work on this video is very good; got some fantastic shots here. And yes, the ladies are still throwing their underwear at him on this video (and in the live concert I attended). I probably would have too, if I sat closer! Tom, if you ever read these reviews, I'd like to thank you for so much enjoyment. You WILL be remembered not only for your great performances, but your "vocal ability". Great performance. Buy it! | 14 | [

2 | Read it again for the third time. . . | And I cried this time also. It is a pain that I understand as I too have a child like Nancy. And like the Spungens, I have another child who has it all together. Something happened right there in those first moments of life and here we are 30 years later with a grown woman who still kicks,screams and cries like an infant. No amount of love, attention, money or therapy is enough. Nancy Spungen's horrible death is my nightmare. Deborah Spungen's fear and pain are my reality. What an amazingly honest story of ordinary people up against something so much bigger than themselves. This book will make you go back in for a second good-night kiss from your children. This book will make you count your many blessings. Thank you for that, Deborah. | 11 | [

2 | Great book for new horse owners | When we decided to add horses to our family, experienced horse people highly recommended purchasing older, experienced horses. So that is exactly what we did. This book has proven to be highly valuable to us. As stated in a previous review, it does say to call your vet at many of the symptoms. However, that is NOT a bad thing. The easy to follow charts included in each section clearly state if its something you can handle on your own, or if you need the help of a vet. It also tells you WHY you need the vet. It doesn't just state "Call your vet".The chapters are easy to read and understand. The book covers both health and care for the older horse. I'm sure a lot of the care items would apply to younger horses also, but the book covers the specific needs of the older horse.An experienced horse person would probably find this book to be a bore. However, it is ideal for the new horse owner, young or old. I highly recommend this book. | 12 | [

2 | A must have for the low income high tech home | A very very good router. The only thing wrong with it that sometimes there is conflict between it and a 2.4Ghz cordless phone. I have two laptops with G PC cards for them. Everything works great, except for when my roommate decides to be a smart-alec and disables it. I haven't had any problems concerning security. If you have people you know with B cards, you can tell them to come on over. The only problem with this is that you get stuck with 11Mbps also. But you can set it to G-only. The wireless utility manager lets you connect anywhere in a flash. It doesn't handle thick walls so well, but an access point will clear that right up. If you got the money though, go and get the A+B router and cards, and set it up to A only mode; that way you don't have any phone issues at all. | 11 | [

2 | Chicco C5 Stroller- thumbs up | I am really pleased with this stroller. I love the fact it came with a drink holder - not sure if that's a recent thing, since I read some reviews saying they didn't have one. It is the kind that's removable, but it works.I have only used this a couple times and I do think opening and closing it is a little tricky... Maybe it will be easier after I use it more? I hope... The concept is easy, but maybe mine is just not broke in yet? Or I'm doing something wrong? I hope it loosens up for our Disney trip coming up. It's the main reason why I purchased it.Overall for an umbrella stroller, this one is great! It has everything I was looking for and the price was cheaper than I thought I'd end up spending for all those features. Even though I have not mastered the opening part of it, collapsing it is very easy. I would still highly recommend this stroller. | 11 | [

2 | Rugged, Big, and Tough | One of my late, larger than life uncles could warm the air with a stream of salient cusses so unique that no one minded. One thing he liked was Carhartt's quality. Some things remain, and I continue to appreciate the workmanship in Carhartt products. This is one generously proportioned, carefully constructed work shirt; these guys don't skimp. For once, if you order an XXL, it will be really roomy. So, if you normally find XXL a little too big, the X-Large may be large enough. You get every penny's worth from this totally practical shirt, it's truly durable and will last a long time while looking professional. The only caveat is be aware that this soft and comfortable high-quality shirt consists of thick heavy-duty fabric, appropriate for cool/cold weather. Carhartt provides the real thing, this is not for ornamental or pretend-work wear. A Borgnine thumbs-up. Enjoy. | 11 | [

Bad game, easy to beat, and even easier to hate.You walk around and shoot stuff. You find stuff like guns, and shoot otehr things. There are no cool characters. There are like 4 environments that are small, repetitive, and bland. You honestly can't say anything good about this game.On the kaos mode, you can shoot everything for points. All the time you will be under civilian penalty. O THATS REAL FUN! If you shoot a civilian you lose tons of points. For about 2 seconds the penalty is off, but by that time you don't wanna break you boring streak of not killing anything and only shooting controlled burst to avoid killing any civilians.Seriously, there isn't any freedom in this game like gta. There are no extras, there is nothing to do except follow some guys, and do work for them. Don't buy it. | 16 | [

1 | Weird and disappointing | To reiterate the other reviews would be redundant. I listened to Bill Irwin in the audio book and thought he did an excellent job despite what seemed to be a Canadian accent throughout (is he Canadian? I don't know.) The minute we met the whaley boys I was angry at the author for driving these interesting and compelling characters into a Stephen King world. Whaley Boys? The Goo? Amelia Earhardt getting down with the Goo? Really, this was just stupid. And I just couldn't stop thinking about all the beached whales that are never mentioned - what happened there, drunk driving? I would not recommend this book to anybody who values their precious time with books. I give it 2 stars because the first half was excellent and deserves recognition. | 11 | [

1 | Wrong item | The item i ordered was wrong. I asked them if it was me or did they send the wrong one. The answer i got back was i would have keep it because i opened it. Well when i opened it that's when i will reealized it was wrong. I could.nt even reach anyone on the phone to talk about it. They just wouldn't try and reslove the problem. I know its not your fault but your supplier ANTOline (warehouse) wouldn't even work with me. So fot this reason i probably wont order anything from Amazon anyore if it comes thru this Warehouse.

"I could.nt even reach anyone on the phone to talk about it.",
"They just wouldn't try and reslove the problem.",

2 | Even better than Playstation, and that is saying something! | First, to start out, this Game is possibly the most addicting, fun, and best games to ever be made by Midway, for N64. The graphics are fenominable!!! I couldn't believe how addicting it was. I was on that game for 4 hours, before I finally switched of the game and did something else. It is a very long game, but it is worth the time and effort. Unlike most games you are cooperating with up to 3 other people on the SAME screen. No stupid split screens. You work together and share items, gold, food, (for health), and other things. An absolute blast for parties! NO, I repeat, No adventure game collection is complete without this game. Choose between a wizard, a valkyerie, an archer, or warrior, (I prefer wizard myself), and choose between four colors, (blue red green or yellow, I prefer green). My verdict; BUY IT BEFORE IT'S TO LATE!!! | 13 | [

1 | pitcher will crack after first few uses | I have bought 3 of these tea makers and although they make good tea, the only ones in your house that will enjoy it is your kitchen counter or the bottom of your refrigerator. The pitcher will crack after only a few uses. I originally thought that it was because I put it in the dishwasher, so the next one I bought I washed only by hand. It also cracked and flooded my produce drawer and meat drawer of my fridge. I wrote to mr coffee and they did send replacement pitchers.....They all cracked after a few uses. I later bought a tm75 because the plastic was not supposed to be so brittle and cheap. this one was designed so poorly that it still leaks everywhere. The drip from the brewing basket is supposed to drip onto the spout of the pitcher, but it doesn't line up correctly and instead drips between the pitcher and the brewer. It ruined the grout of my floor tile. Wrote to Mr Coffee and waiting for a response. Either way, DO NOT waste your money on this brand. | 11 | [

2 | Rats begone!!! | I have been having rats in my attic off and on since I purchased by home about 2 years ago. I have a lot of vegetation around my house, including several trees and bushes. I have tried every thing, from exterminator, terminex, mouse traps to no avail. I went online and read several reviews, good and bad, for Shake-Away. I decided to try it. I purchased it at Amazon. I placed 4 0z of Shake-Away on a paper plate and placed it just next to the attic entrance. I placed another one (4 0z on a paper plate) between my washer and dryer in the garage. After one and 1/2 days, the rat problem disappeared. For about a week now, I have not heard any scratching, or running in my attic. I feel I am an expert at hearing them run through the attic, as well as munching. This product is great. Harray for coyote and fox urine (ingrediants in this product). These rodents must be highly afraid of their predators. | 14 | [

1 | Totally unreliable | I am now on my second G5 gaming mouse. It is not the Battlefield 2142 model with the graphics but still the same mouse. The first one refused to work out of the box. I spent hours online researching the problem. I found another computer to test it on and also another mouse to verify my USB ports were working OK on my computer. I finally took it back and got an exchange. The second one worked for all of two weeks and then went dead. It lights up like the first one but will not move the pointer. I would not recommend this mouse to anyone unless they are willing to spend the time and hassle to buy then take it back for a full refund. I am sure it must work for some but two in a row is a record for me. It does feel and operate very well when it works although I did not get a chance to play with different configurations of weights. The weights seem more like a gimmick to me but I could be convinced with experience and feedback from other users. | 12 | [

What are my resonsibilities to self, family, and others? No dictionary is needed in reading this book, just an open mind. Includes Study Guide questions for each chapter at the end of the book. Lookup each bible verse and read it for yourself. Review the questions before reading. If you can, enroll in an ALPHA Course. Your Faith, Hope, and Love will flourish.

2 | The Ultimate Acting Trio!! | I originally watched this movie to see Paul Lynde, and while his performance cracks me up, I came to enjoy this movie for far more than his appearance. Hudson plays the ultimate hypochondriac who learns his lesson after overhearing his doctor talking about another patient's grim prognosis and mistaking it for his own. What follows is what makes this one of my favorite movies. One of my favorite lines is when Tony Randall(in his continuing inebriation throughtout the movie) asks the bartender at the party "Did you ever REALLY feel a table? Wake up! Wake up! Live your life!" Well, it's just hilarious. I also loved Lynde as the bubbly plot salesman who "likes people". If you enjoy romance comedies without the profanities and sexual situations a lot of today's movies have, this is one to see if not buy. I never get tired of watching Send Me No Flowers. Hudson, Day, and Randall's other two films together are also worth watching. | 12 | [

2 | I love it. | Persona 2: Eternal Punishment is the only game of the whole series of Persona I could find. Though, There is no need to play the older series before. What I really like in this game are the music, the story and the characters. I think that the battle system is quite annoying. And it's kinda hard to gain the EXPs, also. This game is not an original RPG where dragons and swords rule the world, it takes place in the present time, so be ware if you didn't. There are stores, sushi bar, clinic, CDs store, parks, just like what you've seen in this world. But it's not that simple, mystic stuff can be found in this game also, rumors, fortune tellings, demons, and personas. You can say that this is the world where facts and fictions go together. The voice actings are easy to listen and understand, also matches each character's personality and looks (although the joker guy's is quite comic relief). If you enjoy serious, creepy and unique stories, get this game. | 11 | [

1 | Oh dear, oh dear | Lots of folks who like medieval things recommended this to me, but it seems to suffer from the same plague as the newest BBC Robin Hood: so many blatant anachronisms it is simply unwatchable. First off, trousers? What is the costume department's aversion to hose? And, of course, a mishmash of centuries in the general garb of everyone, like a re-enactors festival. All right, it is about the Arthur legends and where does that really put it in terms of costumes, but pick a century already. Signs on the walls for people to read as well as letters written. Dear, dear. I suppose I don't mind so much the language used, a little updated for contemporary audiences, but with everything else, it's just too much. Why does it have to be so dumbed down? I was only able to get through twenty minutes of it. That's twenty minutes I won't get back. | 11 | [

2 | Thank you Certain Dri! | I am a 13 year old girl who had the problem of excessive sweating. I could never wear form-fitting shirts because I would develop a ring of perspiration that was very embarrassing. I would wear sweatshirts and loose shirts to avoid those icky sweat stains. I went through many a deodorant, trying to find a good one. I tried Secret, Suave, Ban, Soft & Dri, and Lady Speed Stick. None of them even reduced my sweating! So I saw Certain Dri and got some.This product works wonders! I just tried some last night, and today I wore a form-fitting shirt. NO embarrassing sweat stains! My shirt and underarms are completely dry!! I didn't experience any discomfort or stinging like other reviewers, just dry underarms!If you sweat more than you like, I highly reccommend this product! | 11 | [

1 | Mixed feelings... | 1) This product needed a better manual.2) It'd be nice if the product had the basic info printed on it. That would explain what various actions mean - or even how to put it in soft charge mode. Some extra buttons would be nice too. (ie: being able to quick charge a few while re-conditioning other batteries would be helpful).3) Issues with batteries getting hot. Not all batteries most remain cool just a few seem to get hot. Nothing to pin point, as the ones that overheat are the same brands and ones that work fine. Not an age issue as it has occurred with newer batteries too.4. Caution, if you do not seat the battery ALL the way. The unit has the potential to overheat as some of the plastic on our unit melted.***All in all, I am left not trusting the device. Don't like to leave it plugged in overnight. Read lots of rave reviews, but must confess I am have been left a bit disappointed and do not really trust the product.:-( | 13 | [

2 | You can't judge a book by its pictures | My first reaction after receiving and flipping through the pages was, "What!". "No color photographs?" Well shame on me because this book is so well written, I never missed the absence of color photos. The decorating idea sketches are great and, again, the author did a great job of writing this book for beginners and intermediate as well. You won't find yourself scratching your head saying, "Huh??". I wonder what she means by that?" I'm hooked on gingerbread houses now and have made 6 in the last 3 weeks. The chapter on making your own patterns was also put to the test. My patterns came out perfect following the directions in this book. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! This is the start of a new Christmas tradition at my house. R. Schaaf | 12 | [

1 | fragile and overpowered | I bought one of these at Walmart. The power of the motor is amazing. In fact, that is the problem. You can't fill it up half way unless you hold the lid on, or you will blow it off. The motor is so strong it torqued the cup, and snapped the retaining rings off on both sides of the bottom of the blending cup. They are rather cheesy, flimsy pieces of plastic. This would be a wonderful blender if it had better securing to the base, and a top that didn't have to be held down. I took mine back and got a standard blender. I had hoped to use something smaller than my vitamix for small jobs, but this isn't it. Back to the vitamix, which, of course, is the best. Vitamix wants 80 dollars for a smaller blending cup. I would rather spend the money on a complete blender. 80 bucks for a blending cup is a ripoff. | 13 | [

2 | It's about philosophy, not Skinheads. | Geoffrey Wright is one of the most unrated director/screenplay writers in the modern film age. Romper Stomper is not about Skinheads. It's about philosophy. Sure, it's packed with violence and racial demoralization. But so was The Killing Fields and that really happened. After viewing this film several times, I always had the same conclusion. It's about philosophy. Hando (Russell Crowe) wanted to live in the past by adhering to the Nazi mantra of the Master race. Davey (Daniel Pollock) had a dream. One with a very different future. A future of hope, happiness and unrealized ambitions that were cultivated by the inception of Gabe (Jacqueline McKenzie). Her presence created a conflicting wedge that helped divide Hando and Davey. It's this conflict which fuels the film to it's climactic ending. Brilliant screenplay, casting, cinematography, editing and music score. A totally underrated film. A must see. | 16 | [

2 | GOOD SHOW | Art in Toronto with a local rhythm section one month before his famous Village Vanguard gig. The sound quality isn't overly sharp but it's more than just allright. Maybe that's just him in the lower register a little more than usual. If you have an an aversion to 2 standards in a row, don't worry, that second tune is not-Here's That Rainy Day. It's a 3 min. intro. to the 17 min. downtempoed Patricia which follows. Blues For Heard is Art's sign off theme as he introduces the group and tells the audience to- stick around we're just warming up. But vol.2 is nowhere to be found. Maybe it contained too many tunes recorded at the Vanguard the following month.-- LIVE IN JAPAN Vol 1 & 2, post Vanguard, have pretty good sound quality too. But avoid GARDEN STATE JAMS unless you're a Art Pepper stamp collector. | 12 | [

1 | There's Nothing Pretty About These Horses | The original cut of this movie ran 240 minutes. But when it arrived in theaters on December 25, 2000 (your annual Christmas turkey), director Billy Bob Thornton cut it to a mere 117 minutes. That's the version currently being released on VHS and DVD. Sadly, it's about as stimulating as a day-old taco. The love story - Matt Damon falls madly in love with the alluring Penelope Cruz - fizzles. Damon acts like he's never kissed a girl before. Cruz looks bored by her pretty boy co star. The remaining sub plots involving family honor, betrayal, prejudice and cowboys also don't add up to much. Throughout the film, it's obvious certain scenes are missing, which they are. In turn, it's hard to get fired up about a film that arrives with two hours of deleted footage. Damon tries hard to inject life into this directionless mess, but fails. This is one of the worst films of 2000. Avoid it at all costs. | 13 | [

2 | Fantastic Series Through First Several Books | The first 6 books about Anita Blake were great! Unfortunately, after a great start the series starts to lack a plot or creative story line. The author's focus on group sex is initially exciting, but quickly becomes the focus of each book. After book 8, the erotica is very repetitive and consumes the majority of each novel. I feel Anita needs to put her clothes back on, get out of bed, and get back to work being a necromancer. Many readers agree that the series takes an unwelcome turn but the faithful do antipate a change back to Anita's original moxy. We aren't seeing it so far, as her latest, Mika is more of the same. I'm concerned that on Ms. Hamilton's website, she pretty much tells her disappointed readers too bad, if you don't like it, don't read it. Money can do that I guess. This edition is a re-print. The original can be found through your library network. I will keep watch and hope that her next book in 2007 reverts to the original form. | 12 | [

1 | Oh, Say It Ain't So, Max... | It was a sad day when this was released. Max completely went nu-metal on us all. And not the good kind. Read the lyrics to "Back To The Primitive."

In fact, the only worthwhile song is "Jumpda****up" with Corey Taylor's vocal talents saving the song marginally. It's still filled with Max showing off his 'fat street-wyze rhym bustin'. What a shame. Just listen to Sepultura for this tribal-metal shtick done right. | 12 | [

2 | Kindle Review | I bought this Kindle as a gift for someone entering college this fall, hoping that textbooks might become available soon. It looks like that is a definite possibility. Regarding the Kindle itself, after one week, the screen froze up and would display only the screensaver. I called Amazon to report this and they offered to replace it, no questions asked. They sent out a new Kindle and I returned the old one. The new one is three weeks old now and is working great so far! The wireless download of books is amazingly quick. The daily periodicals are also great. I selected this particular unit over the newer model Kindle due to it's smaller size. At this size, the screen is just fine. Also, I love the text-to-speech function. You can sit back, close your eyes and let the Kindle read to you. | 12 | [

2 | Impressive work! | Magick...Magick. I just saw their website at www.magickband.com. I like these guys. There are high musicianship in this album. The songs are very melodic too with great arrangement and nice production. The singer has a wide range; guitar playing is impressive with cool riffs and scorching solos; and the electronic effects and beats are so refreshing. Most of all, the emphasis on this album is definitely on the songs themselves. They are so catchy & melodic. There are some cool high energy upbeat songs as well as beautiful ballads. This is pop-rock of the 21st century. Go ahead and buy this album! | 11 | [

1 | bloodet has no blood left | if youve ever really listened to bloodlet's older material or ever seen them play live, then youll know that this album is crap. with both charlie(drums) and art(bass) both gone, its no wonder that the life is missing. face it: they just arent the same. this album was a good attempt at trying to maintain a unique chemistry, but its not good enough. bloodlet is one of those bands that were blessed with insane talent and genius. im just glad i got to see them and listen to them before this album came out. otherwise, id feel a distinct loss. instead i feel cheated. scott, who is an amazing lyricist, seems to overdo his approach and over-simplify his content. its almost as if he is trying to carry the evil-ness of bloodlet all on his own. this album feels like a complete 180 after the beauty of his predecessor. this album id listen to after i had no cd's left to listen to. | 12 | [

2 | ...in My opinion | I'm trying.. I'm trying, but I can't quite put it into words.You will read countless reviews that express how amazing this album is. Those reviews are sooo very true. But I, personally, feel that it can't be adequately stressed how genuinely great this music is. If you ask me to share my favorite track, I'll say "Earth is not a Cold Dead Place."...all you can do is cringe at the emotions that the sound of this album evokes. Beginning to end, this album is literally flawless. Not because it's perfect...but because it transcends the term beautiful. Because from beginning to end, it is the amalgamation of so many things that make us human."Pretentious". That is the term that I often see is attributed to this band...this album...and the genre of post-rock in itself. And that's fine......I would love to hear those making such unoriginally fallible critiques compose an album that could stand up to This. | 11 | [

2 | A masterpiece, Underwhelming Special Features | Ahh... what a film. Jerry Lewis blends tragedy and comedy so well. The recurring themes of the man/child, the bitter clown, the wellmeaning buffoon who can't help but wreck chaos. Jerry has a very complex and sad side to him, but he weaves them into such absurd, but completely human individuals. This is still a sweet-natured comedy for adults as well as children. No social satire or cynicism here. The physical humor on display is quite ingenius. Better than Buster Keaton or Chaplin easily.This is only the 2nd Jerry Lewis film I've ever seen (Guess the first) and I'm excited to discover more of this underrated comic auteur's special brand of slapstick. The commentary is a huge letdown, not even worth a listen. He just remembers how cute Donna Butterworth is and how much laughter was had on set. Its cool to see the very brief bloopers and screen tests. But you'd think he had more worthwhile material to slap on this DVD. Oh well. Enjoy. | 14 | [

1 | Only skims the surface | While this is a pleasant viewing experience, it really aims low in terms of content. Charlie Moore isn't mentioned until game five of the ALCS. Mike Caldwell isn't mentioned until game one of the World Series! Pitchers such as Jim Slaton, Randy Lerch, Jamie Easterly and Chuck Porter aren't mentioned at all, as if Vuckovich and Fingers were the only contributors to the pitching staff. Don Money, Ned Yost, Marshall Edwards - they don't even exist! Key games are overlooked, such as the game at Fenway with Ned Yost's winning home run. And even the playoff coverage is weak. We see almost nothing of game 4 of either the ALCS or the World Series. And they overlook Marshall Edwards' catch in game five of the ALCS. Very weak. Why not include three hours of material on a DVD? Renting this is fine (try Netflix), but don't shell out the cash. | 12 | [

1 | terrible directions! innacurate! embarrassing marketing ploy | I paid 22.95 for this bugger, and would love to have my money back. The the directions to the "Monasteries" are awful. For example directions from Termini station in Rome to a specific monestary states "take metro and get off atPiazza Barberini" ( might be a good idea to let those unfamiliar with Rome know WHAT LINE THEY SHOULD USE! and where the Monastery is after you exit the metro. this example typifies the type of directions that are provided. Mrs. Barish have you ever taken a bus or a subway? Here is another example of directions provided, "get off at Firenze Santa Maria Novella and then take bus #14" Bus # 14? to where? how far? This book has absolutely NO MAPS so be prepared to dig. Locations described as "centrally" located are actually (when and if you find them with your own map work)often on city outskirts.Very lazy Mrs. Barish. Any one thinking about buying this one should definately save their money. | 12 | [

2 | Hamilton Beach 04152 - very very good | Bought this for my daughter who recently married and moved to a flat where she was having allergy problems. From the first night she used it she slept well and woke the next day with little or no complaints. She has no ac and says this unit keeps her small bedroom quite cool, much better than before (we are in the tropics and she says this works as well as an ac unit). The lowest setting makes a noise that is not overly obtrusive - does not keep you awake.She has had it for two months now and nothing bad to report. She speaks so highly of the unit that almost all her relatives want one. One aunt said she was ordering three. I was initially considering getting one with an ionizer but it seems that the ionizers do not work for very long on many models. At 49.99 with free shipping from Amazon it was a bargain. I notice that it is more than twice that from another vendor now. Darn! Procrastination has cost me again. I had intended ordering a second unit. | 12 | [

1 | Terrible | I read this book over vacation, which was a terrible choice I realize now. I should've known when I started it that it was going to be depressing. I have read my share of sad books and often enjoyed them when they offered insight into human nature or offered a message of sorts. This book has literally nothing to offer. It doesn't leave you feeling good or even remotely satisfied. I would summarize the book as others have done but a reader of this would be bored to tears by the summary. I hope that after reading this no one will choose to read or buy this book. The ending was the worst part. I actually threw the book across the room when I finished reading it because I was so absolutely dissatisfied. The most terrible thing was that the author set up a really good outline that could have had the most moving ending with so many twists that do not serve the point they could have. There was a chance for this book to be entertaining but it is not worth the time it takes to drudge through it. | 11 | [

1 | To Self Proclaimed Music Man 689. | Wow. Someone took my review a little personally. Difference of oppinion is the fabric of America. Don't be so insecure, and please don't bore me with your personal oppinions about me. I just didn't happen to like the CD. Big deal. After reviewing your reviews, it's pretty obvious that you don't have a very diverse oppinion about anything, but that's o.k. You can look up diverse in the dictionary. 99% alternative. For the record, I did listen to it. Unlike yourself, I wasn't trying to be cool by dogging it. Just that comment tells me that you're young and immature. Don't take things so personally. What did you do, sleep with the band? Maybe you can discuss it at your next therapy appointment. Relax, you'll be o.k. and everything is fine. | 17 | [

1 | crappy product! | Although this ice cream maker seems to be top-of-the-line, it breaks after only a few uses. Although the box boasts a "5 Year Warranty!" the cheap, POS motor has a 1 year warranty. So when my husband bought this for me for Christmas 2009, the warranty started ticking then. I think we made ice cream once or twice Summer 2010, and then when I went to use it this summer (2011), it made a horrible screeching noise. I called customer service for a replacement (based on the stated 5 year warranty), and was told sorry, but I could take 15% off a new $100 motor today! Screw you. It's frustrating to think that I could have spent half as much for a cheap ice cream maker that would either still be working, or I wouldn't care about when it broke. Too bad, this is otherwise a seemingly-nice ice cream maker - the other parts work well. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!! | 11 | [

1 | Pretty Bad | This book wasn't very good. First of all, the fact that an entire school is going to Hawaii for no reason whatsoever is COMPLETELY unrealistic. Next, the adventures of the babysitting weren't that exciting-not even Stacey's. She was on a helicoptor that crashed, but her adventures mainly focused on walking back to where they were supposed to be. What really bugged me about this story is that there was almost NO plot. The whole plot is: The baby-sitters go to Hawaii. They do stuff. They come back. That's what most Super Specials are about, but other ones are written better and the adventures are actually realistic (since when do 13-year-olds act in commercials by pretending that they're 18, and having everyone believe them?). If you're a die-hard BSC fan, then you'll probably like this book. Otherwise, stick to realistic books that actually have a plot. | 11 | [

1 | A long desultory essay rather than a story | I picked up the Kindle version after reading the preface by Robert Sawyer and the lead in pages. Unfortunately, this is not really a novel or story with characters and plot. Rather, there are a series of vignettes that are filled with pages of what ifs. One can discuss paradoxes and potential scenarios all you want, but these are all fluff since time travel is purely imaginary. One should take this plot tool and build a story. This is not what happens. For instance, he discusses kidnapping baby Hitler but finding that the world in the 1960s was screwed up because of some unspecified paradoxes. He then states that he put the infant back and allowed his assasination by German generals in 1939. Things turned out better. Think twice if you you would like a engaging time travel story. Better yet, pick up Ken Grimwood's book. | 11 | [

1 | Prejudice here is a rittle one sided.... | I'd enjoy this if the stereotypes extended to other minority groups, as popular shows like "King of the Hill" and "The Simpsons" do, in equal judicious amounts. In this DVD, the joke falls solely on "The Chinaman". No one else. This singling out is what makes everyone uncomfortable and the humor substandard. Rickles, Mason, and other "Race Humorists" disperse their venom in unbaised portions, and that is when everyone can laugh. I gave this DVD 2 stars for its beautifully rendered art and retro appeal. Everything else is like eating Matzos sans aqua! Chitterlings mit no Tabasco. Tasteless. Take that, honkey! Just Kidding. | 11 | [

1 | The horror, the horror | I can not explain to you how much I hated this movie. If I could give this movie negative stars, I would. Why is this movie so bad you ask, well I will tell you. The movie does not flow together at all. Prime example is the scene with the reporter in the house. The scene lasted about 5 seconds, he was in and then out. The reporter then showed a ten minute interview that supposedly took place in the 5 seconds. It supposedly takes place in southern California, but the sheriff sound like he came out of the Smokey and the Bandit. The sheriff thought the English guy was Mexican. What's the deal with that? Even though I hate this movie to the core of my being, I have made it my mission to buy every copy I run across. I am stockpiling these in hopes that one day I will own every copy. When I do, I am going to have a big bonfire and chuck all of them into it, thus riding this world of such a blight. I do not want aliens coming down after we are all gone and finding that movie...... | 14 | [

2 | Get This Book | One of my all time favorites. I'm not an M.D., Psychologist or even a very smart person, but the lessons in this book about self-evaluation and rational observation are crucial for all people. True it's geared to teach the very basics of Cognitive Therapy in a Clinical setting; I must say its applications are nearly endless. Take me for example. With this book under my belt I feel as if I've been given years of therapy in only a few hundred pages. I'm not kidding you. Not only that but I can usually always put my friends' fears, anxieties and whining to rest simply by mimicking the scenarios found within this wonderful text. Beck is a genius, his daughter is his disciple. Are you all about observing your life in a more rational fashion thereby alleviating your negative reactions to what you believe to be "not the end of the world" problems? Or do you need help counseling your needy friends? All I have to say is Enjoy. I read it at least once every year. | 12 | [

1 | Like coffee grounds in your coffee? | I've used a lot of different french presses over the years. This Thermos model has a fatal flaw: A channel on the inside that's wider than the screen. So if you fill it up to maximize your coffee volume, then the grounds fill the channel and bypass the screen when you plunge. Voila! Crunchy coffee. To avoid this issue you have to under fill, and stir carefully so as not to get coffee grounds in the channel. And be careful how you put the grounds into this puppy as well. If it's wet they'll stick to the channel. There are just so many ways to mess up your coffee with this thing.Bottom line is this thing is a real pain to use. I'd suggest you get something else. RECOMMENDATION: The Boden stainless insulated french press is the GOLD standard in my mind. It's spendy but man, it is just about perfect. | 12 | [

1 | Superman 3 review | This movie stinks. The opening looks nothing nothing like the ones from the films. They look like they added in at the last minute. Its like those Star Wars text things you get in most movie-editing softwares. It was also a bad reminder of those 3 stooges shorts starring Joe Besser. Infact this WHOLE film is a bad reminder of the Joe Besser days of the 3 Stooges. Richard Pryor is very unfunny in this stinkfest. I think he had more screen time then Superman did. There are some good points in the film like Superman saving the powerplant and the kid. The Evil Superman is pretty bad[bleep] and much more then Emo Peter from Spiderman 3. Sadly these good points fail to save the film in the long run. The effects and fights are standard. Overall,It still awful. I give this film a 1 out of 10. | 14 | [

"Its like those Star Wars text things you get in most movie-editing softwares.",

1 | Irrelevant book | This is not a book for boatowners, unless you own a megayacht, or a tugboat.Calder seems not to realize most boats are powered by gas engines. He doesn't mention them at all in his book. There's a long, detailed chapter on diesel engines. But NOTHING on gas engines!He also doesn't cover sterndrives. He does deal with inboards extensively. But, again, many, many boats are propelled by sterndrives. Other than a small photo, he ignores them. How a book on mechanical systems can ignore mechanical systems is a small oversight, I guess.Winterizing? Forget it. With no mention of gas engines, he can't begin to touch on proper winterizing.I sent my book back. It's a waste of money for most boat owners. | 11 | [

2 | Man vs Wild = Excellent | Baer goes around in the natural environment and shows you how to survive in that element. He also shows you worst case situations. Is it fake? no. Is it 100 % real? no. It isn't shown in real time, meaning 1hr of being in the wild = 1hr of show. So of course they edit. The producers also assist with the survival options placed in his path to show you what to do if you run into such circumstances; dead sheep used for shelter, pre plotted caves for shelter, dead animals used for food, etc. The show is using a storyline to assist you the person in those situations, not Baer in his 'pure' situation. Meaning to say, they illustrate you more options than you may run into so you can have a greater knowledge base to make decisions that will save your life- OHH YEAH, and the show is entertaining as hell. People, please relax. It's not a con, it's cool. | 13 | [

2 | Motley Corabi | Who's John Corabi? Where's Vince Neil? Initially, I dissed this record because of Neil's absence. Then I listened to it. It's a different sound -- more grunge than metal. However, different doesn't have to be bad. For the music, Corabi sounds perfect. This probably would not have worked if Vince was with the band. Sixx is still the primary songwriter so it's still Motley -- only harder. To the uninitiated, you wouldn't know it was Motley Crue if no one told you. Recommended, but only after you get the original Crue records. | 11 | [

2 | THANK YOU | I am so thankful for the book "How to Avoid Huge Ships" by John W. Trimmer. This book has opened my eyes to many more options than I could ever think of on my own! Ever since I was young, I have had a fear of huge ships. I never told anyone because I thought I was the only one with this fear. This book showed me that I am not alone in this endeavor! This book saved my life. It gives you diagrams of how to look away from huge ships. It shows you different routes you can take on land to avoid the water's edge. It even provides many online sources you can contact to buy special glasses that make huge ships invisible so you never have to feel anxious about going to the beach again! Trimmer, I thank you for your knowledge on the subject. I will be reading this book to my future children so they will never have to worry about huge ships ever again. | 11 | [

1 | Caveats! | Pros: 1. Accurate mileage if you stay in the open. 2. Basic GPS information with maps.Cons: 1. You will lose the signal sporadically in the woods. 2. Cadence needs constant adjustment. 3. Calorie count grossly inaccurate. This past summer I rode 100 miles on the Blue Ridge Parkway and calories were barely counted on the ascents. On the flats, calorie numbers are about about 40 percent inflated. 4. Software doesn't work with Macs. 5. Expensive.Recommendation: Until Garmin does a software fix, avoid this item. If you're going to spend the money, go with a Suunto T6. | 16 | [

1 | Warning: The marketing is great; the content is "Poop" | I found it disappointing even though I was seeking clean humor. Here is an example of an entire page: "The little sandwich went into a bar. He slid up onto the bar stool and inquired, "May I get something to eat?" The bartender looked down at the little sandwich and answered, "No! We don't serve food here!" This book sells for $7.95 new. Amazon charges $3.95 just to return it. If you like the sample, you'll love this book. I didn't. According to the cover, this is purported to be one of the "funniest jokes ... through out the country." I get it. He didn't say what country. | 12 | [

2 | Classy, but a little too serious | I bought this timer because I thought it looked nice and indeed, it does in real life. However, as a desk toy, it's not that fun, since it takes a long time for the timer to run its course! About 12 minutes or so. I doubt anyone would look at it for 12 minutes straight. Also, the black sans and orange sand don't finish at the same time. Most of the time, the orange sand ends before the black sand (usually by a few minutes). At first, I thought that this difference in time between the two colors was a letdown, but now that I think of it, it might be a good thing, since you can use it to time 2 different things! Still, it looks nice on a desk. Like most other have said, there are air bubbles that can sometimes block the sand. I simply shake my timer a little bit to clear the bubbles. After that, it works fine. | 11 | [

2 | Great! | Pernox was recommended to me by my doctor after I complained of having extremely oily skin and acne. I thought I had tried everything over the counter available, but I hadn't even heard of Pernox! It is an excellent product. I doubt that it is just the Pernox working alone since I do use other good products, but since I started using it, my skin has improved so much. Way fewer pimples. My skin is still oily of course, but Pernox gets away the oil better than any other face wash, without drying the skin. My skin feels so clean and soft after using it too! I look forward to using it every day. Pernox isn't a miracle worker, but if you're looking for a face wash that actually does something for your skin, this is what you should use! It is quite expensive, but at least you only need to use very little of it each time you use wash. The 4 oz tube lasts me a few months. | 11 | [
