1 | LOVE the television show, HATE the dvd! | I wish I could give this product a good rating because I'm actually a fan of the show but I have had nothing but problems when it comes to the dvd. I ordered it and used next day shipping. It arrived on time but much to my disappointment, the dvd would'nt work in my dvd player or in my laptop. I kept getting a disc error message. I returned this item and was sent a replacement which also did'nt work. I sent back the replacement for a second replacement and that one did'nt work as well! Even though Amazon was very accomadating it is very frustrating, to say the least. I realize that this item is manufactured by Amazon but there is no excuse for the product not to work! I returned that second replacement back and was given a refund. It's too bad actually beacause all I really wanted was the dvd. Hopefully this problem will be fixed and I will be able to order this dvd at a later date. Will see. | 12 | [

1 | << Shouldn't have been transferred to DVD >> | This is not only a disappointing movie but also a disappointing dvd. First the DVD: Soundtrack is distorted. No dvd menu. Has 'film flips' - I thought something was wrong with my VCR tape. Wait! I'm not using a VCR; this is a dvd.Now for the movie. The book is written from the dog's perspective. The movie is more from Heston's position. The plot was changed. The characters in the scenes were incorrect. My 10 year old son kept nodding his head; saying, hey, this didn't happen...... | 11 | [

2 | Exquisite, Beautiful, and Breath-taking. | This is by far one of L.M.'s most wonderful books. It is so lovely it hurts. I have read it a countless number of times; so many times, in fact, that I can open it to any page and know exactly where I am in the story. After all those times, it never loses its beauty. It is wonderful to witness Valancy grow and blossom and finally receive the love she so desperately deserves. More than love, Valancy gets justice. After years of being robbed of beauty and kindness, she gets both, and more, in spades. L.M. does an incredible job of describing every small detail and making the reader feel as though they know each character personally. I know Barney; I know Valancy. It is incredible read and one that I will cherish all my life. There are not enough words to describe this book; it is genuine treasure. | 13 | [

2 | Simply the best | This is the standard by which I judge all black inks. It is "bulletproof" on paper, meaning it won't come off with water, alcohol, bleach, etc. For this reason, it's a great ink for signatures and addressing envelopes.This ink has other wonderful properties. It has good flow, yet it does not feather or bleed through pretty much any paper. I can even use it to do crossword puzzles in most books and newsprint with no feathering or bleeding. Most importantly, this ink is just black. Actually, it's blacker than black. I use it for writing notes and homework solutions. The text is so dark on white paper that I can easily scan my notes and solutions electronically to give to students.A few months ago I dropped my bottle of Noodler's black and broke it. I figured I wouldn't buy a new bottle because I have so many other black inks. However, it didn't take long before I missed it and bought I new one. It's the one ink every fountain pen owner should have. | 12 | [

1 | Let down by an atrocious DVD transfer | This is one of Luc Besson's(Leon, The Fifth Element)early films. Set almost entirely in the Paris metro underground system, it follows a punkish man named Fred(Christopher Lambert of Highlander fame). He is on the run from some corporate characters and meets the beautiful Isabelle Adjani. It is not nearly as good as Leon, but does have some style. The DVD is atrocious though. The picture has got to be the worst one ever. The transfer looks like it was taken from an old video tape with the tracking out, it really has to be seen to be believed. Also, there are no chapter times. The sound is not much better too, and is very loud, probably because it is encoded in MPEG 2 compression. There are no extras as well. An OK film is let down badly by this transfer to DVD. It is cheapish but still not worth it. The film deserves a better score than 1 star, but the DVD doesn't. | 13 | [

1 | Conservatives: you can do better! | My liberal mother gave this book to me, her liberal, adult son. At first, I assumed it was an unsuccessful attempt by liberals to mock conservative fears about liberals. I finally realized it was an honest conservative attempt to be funny (it wasn't). I noted a dozen iterations of the ad hominem and straw person fallacies here. Full of vitriole, misrepresentation, and hate, this book would confuse your children if you had them read it alongside, say, a children's version of the Bible, with its message of love. Such conservative hypocrisy is discouraging. It's also discouraging that conservatives can't seem to do better at humor. So liberals have Al Franken, Jon Stewart, and Robin Willimas. Conservatives can only come up with . . . Katharine DeBrecht? | 12 | [

1 | I just watched this boring movie. | This movie was pretty lame. I gave it 1 star but it actually doesn't deserve that!!! It was drawn out, stupid and (yawn) boring!!! Thank god it was just a rental and not a purchase. I will say that Toby from "that 70's show" was pretty good. and the guy who played Tad was very good looking but that's about it... kate was very average. kinda like another kate (Hudson) who is so over rated too. Oh and look for the guy who plays Tad on a show called "Vegas" on NBC. That is where I remembered seeing him before this movie. At least on that show he isn't just a pretty boy, he actually acts too. (lol) | 11 | [

2 | Airport Tycoon 2 | I haven't bought this game but it's on the way. After reading all of the reviews, they all have something in common. Not enough money. It says that its Air Mougl but that's not the game. It takes time! In the real world, you don't just POOF! Money floods in! You need to start small, maybe 1 plane and a small terminal etc. Don't build a gigantic airport and then expect money to come when you have no planes! Save up money, and once you have enough, build on. DuPage Airport didn't just appear out of nowhere and it became the best airport! | 11 | [

2 | The very best book on the subject | I have an interest in haunted houses, so I read as many "true" accounts as I can get my hands on. I constantly check amazon for recent publications on the subject. Most of what I read is trash; either it strikes me as completely made-up, or the poor writing detracts from the story, or both. **Elaine Mercado's book is the BEST I've read on the subject of hauntings. Elaine Mercado is a very intelligent, scientific (she is a a nurse), grounded person. At first took the hauntings with a grain of salt, as any of us would. But as the haunting intensified, she had to accept it for what it was, i.e., a supernatural occurence. **This book is beautifully written. The narrator is so grounded in reality that it makes these other-worldly occurences seem all the more creepy. I highly recommend this book. It is definitely the best of its genre. I have read it many times. I wish I could read it again for the first time. | 13 | [

1 | Ewwwwwww | What a way to start this movie. We first see Bond in bed with some unknown woman, yay. Quite a turn off. And Moore is quite a let down after Sean Connery (unargueably the best Bond, by the way). Bond is sent to the deep south of the U.S. after drug dealers. The only good part about this whole escapade is the black guy with only one arm, he's pretty cool. Anyway, when they put him in those crocodile infested waters and tried to drown him, I was going for the bad guys, really. After what seemed like 10 hours of nothing but Roger Moore's "Bond" I was sick of it, totally. The only good thing about this movie is the theme song, which is pretty cool. Come to tink of it, the theme songs are the only good things that have ever come out of the 7 Bond films Roger Moore did, quite interesting. No wait, I take that back, Mayday in A View to Kill was cool. | 11 | [

2 | Amazing And Incredibly Powerful And Deep! | Oliver Stone is one of the greatest filmmakers that there has ever been! Here in "Nixon," he presents a stunning study of power and the abuse of power. Films like these are rare and extremely powerful works. It is an equel to Stone's "JFK." This is not a study of history, but of power and the demons in one man's mind. The conspiracy angle is great with some fantastically written characters. "Nixon" is a study of politics. This film is more powerful than Shakespeare! I think all Americans interested in how the government works should watch this thrilling and powerful epic. I also loved the amazing editing and inserting of images like documentary footage with the film itself. "Nixon" is a masterpiece! I can't believe the Oscar for 1995's Best Picture was given to "Braveheart" when "Nixon" deserved it. This is great dramatic filmmaking at his best! | 13 | [

2 | All Wrong - And WONDERFUL! | I never had much interest in Messiah but I had long known about this recording. A few years ago I heard a CBC radio feature on Jon Vickers where they played Every Valley. It was one of those rare "What is THAT?" moments that I have had all to rarely in years of playing and listening to music. Finally I bought the recording and listen to it around Christmas every year, and love it more every time.While I appreciate the scholarly concepts behind period performance, I often find it boring in practice. Small orchestra, small choir? What's the point? Give me big, bold and raucous. If you want authentic, hire a bunch of musicians who can't play in tune and hire an unheated hall. I'll take Beecham, the reorchestration, the opera singers and all the inauthenticity one can muster if it produces music-making like this. Strongly recommended. | 11 | [

1 | Totally useless | The battery in my old digital thermometer went dead after three years. Not unexpected. I bought a new battery but couldn't get the new battery placed inside the case correctly. So I decided to buy a new thermometer because I was happy with my old one from Walgreens. The BD was inexpensive. Big mistake. The day I received the BD, I was feeling well, and decided to give the thermometer a test run prior to needing it in the future. The BD never worked correctly. I could leave it under my tongue for almost 5 minutes, and the thing would not beep to show that the temperature was complete. The temperature readings varied from 95.3 degrees to 98.8, all within a half hour.Not worth the hassle and expense of sending back. Unfortunately, it is destined for a landfill much ahead of its time. | 11 | [

1 | Buyer Beware! | This Print Shop for Mac does not work on the current Mac OS. All of the positive reviews for this product are from the OS 8 and 9 era. The ad is misleading and I believe it is purposely so. The seller will not refund the entire cost. You will be stuck with postage buying and returning product.The ad states that it is for Mac. The system requirements say that it is Macintosh. If you don't peel it down another layer you will be lead to believe that it will operate on current Mac OS. Even Amazon's review states that it will work with OS X , but IT DOES NOT WORK WITH THE LATEST MAC OPERATING SYSTEM (Leopard). Beware of this and all products from the seller. The seller is aware that he is currently selling a "bad" product.He believes that the customer is always WRONG.

2 | love it | Been using this facial moisturizer by Aloe 80 for years. I buy the one for oily skin. It's not oil control & doesn't have sunscreen, so I use it for a night time moisturizer. I have sensitive skin as well, but this does not break me out, which is rare as most things cause me to break out. Acne type skincare lines never work for me. I continue to break out. But if I buy products that are generally for oily skin & are mild and good for sensitive skin as well, I have better luck. Aloe 80 is one of those skincare lines. I use the cleanser, toner, facial scrub & moisturizer. Love them all & have been using them all for years. Thanks Amamzon & Vitacost for carrying this since the local WholeFoods have stopped carrying this line. | 11 | [

1 | I have never seen a worse movie, ever! | This is absolutely the worst video I have ever watched. The editing, lighting, camera work, acting... All are horrible. This film has created a new genre for itself... It is so bad that it is not even funny. There is absolutely no continuity in this film at all. The main actress walks out of her house, and it is winter time, 20 seconds later, she is in the forest in the middle of summer, with green leafy trees LOL. This film "stars" failed actor/filmaker Robert G. Christie. He basically ruins the entire film by his unmatched lack of talent. I would normally suggest aspiring actors/directors/DPs to watch a poor film like this to ensure they understand the basics DONT'S are... This film is so bad, that you can't even get a laugh out of it. Well, in the end the "Lead" "actor" Robert G. Christie puts on a stellar performance as he runs through a cemetery wearing his old clothes and Velcro sneakers. | 11 | [

1 | Disappointed | My wife and I tried to do as much research as possible in an attempt to give our baby the best. Out of all the purchases for our new daughter, this item is definitely the worst and cheapest made product. There is a continuous clicking, humming sound that cannot be deleted no matter what channel you put the monitor on. There is also continuous feedback from outside interference- sometimes you may hear people talking. We live in a small neighborhood w/o a lot of air/mobile traffic etc, so we can't understand where the feedback comes from. The clicking sound is worst of all because it drowns out the babies noises/cries. The light show is ok but not a great picture. The soothing sounds, as someone else wrote, is very annoying and cheap. Please look into other brand names. This one is a dud. Good luck. | 11 | [

2 | Feel the freedom! | I bought Emancipation the day it arrived in stores and couldn't wait to hear it. When O(+> said you could hear his emancipation on the CD, he was right. The whole feel of the CD is open, stripped down and real. It's nice to hear him finally release a cover song. Concerts have always held great covers from him, but none on tape, until now. Yes there is a bit of cheese here and there, but it's minimal compared to the smorgasboard of grooves we get. From the opening bass of "Jam of the Year" gliding on over to the lustful ballad of "One Kiss At A Time" to the rawness of "Da, Da, Da" to his last words being "Free...don't think I ain't" it's a feast for the senses. It took me a long while to digest all it had to offer, but being a songwriter, it also inspired me. I wrote 4 new songs in a week after listening to Emancipation. The man never ceases to amaze me, be that good or bad. "Until the end of time...I'll be listening to you." | 11 | [

2 | hard to review | I can see why some are disappointed with 'Bloom' since a few songs aren't so fresh. Still, this CD is amazing if you make a copy of a "Best of Bloom" (Of the first six fast songs, I usually only listen to Bloom and the cooler than cool Good to Me.)For me, this would be:1. Bloom4. Good to Me7. Sea Secret8. Sad Legacy10. Cruise the Nile12. Your Sweet Eyes9. From My HeartNot to knock the other songs, but this is the 27 minute CD I like. Perfect in the summer.

2 | Great Installation, no user manual | This router performed as promised. Following the CD to INSTALL it, is essential, and easy to do. But there is no manual, no quickstart guide, and no trouble-shooter that comes with it. All of those things are on the CD; limited as that is. And to make personal settings, refine it, or trouble-shoot it; you have to go online, and do research. The internal settings can be VERY complicated. I'm attempting to use it for my TiVo to transfer recordings from my TiVo to my PC. It is taking almost more work than is worth the effort. The Router itself works exactly as it should. Since there is no manual, and findind Linksys Tech Support is very difficult; I'd suggest finding a good tech support place online, read it, and see if you want to delve into all that this type of connection may require. All in all, I may go back to NOT using a router at all. | 11 | [

2 | VERY ENTERTAINING | I received the movie in the mail today, ordering it as a family member told me it was real good. I feel that most reviewers were very critical on this movie. As a scifi fan, I for one appreciated the movie. kind of a "what if" type scifi creature flick. A warning that we shouldn't interfere with the way things are. A few politicians should watch this movie. Maybe a subtle warning would finally sink in! I've watched a few of The SciFi Channels movies, and believe me, anything would be an improvement. I guess this is one of those movies that you like, or don't like. I for one thought it was worth the money! I only wish that like most movies, it would be available in full screen. I hate widescreen. | 12 | [

2 | I finally get it | Being 19 years old, and just graduating high school a year earlier than I read this book, I feel as if a part of Lee lived in me. All those awkward moments with her high school crush, whom she thought didn't even notice her. Not being the wealthiest most popular girl in school. The extra poundage she had compared to most skinny girls. I went through it all.I enjoyed this book immensely, and recommend it to anyone who went through the tough time of adolescents. Which would be EVERYONE. I don't think there is one person who can't just familiarize themself with at least one character trait Lee possesses.The reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 was that the book ended, but not the way I wanted it to. For some reason I wanted something astonishing to happen to Lee. I mean come on it is a fiction novel. Things worked out the way they would in real life, I guess I wanted some fairy-tale ending for Lee. Oh well, now on to the next book. | 11 | [

2 | Great Movie | I have to say what an interesting movie, that I really liked. The mix of comedy and mystery is really unique. You don't see stuff like this that much. Also Jeremy Davies (Yes, the Dr. Daniel Faraday), is hilarious! I really liked him in all of his movies like Saving Private Ryan, CQ, etc. and this performance is right up there. Funny, charming, and you care about him. Supporting cast is good all around. It is shot well. And the dead cold winter of new york city is a perfect metaphor for the hidden coldness of people and the decisions they make. Worth the buy. | 11 | [

1 | Misadventures in Yorkshire.. | "The Silence of Herondale" is Joan Aiken's first adult novel. From the jacket, you think it will be a whodoneit, but that is misleading. This is more "watch the young woman avoid danger" type of books. Basically, the heroine is hired as a governess for a precocious 13 year old girl, who happens to be a famous playwright. Said playwright is tired of writing, and runs away to her uncle in Yorkshire. In the meantime, the playwright meets up with a mysterious cousin named Jeremy, who warns her to "beware of relations". Soon, the trio has to avoid "accidents", as someone close wants them dead. But who? Is it the aunt who hired the heroine? The cousin? Or is it the "Slipper Killer" who is loose about town. Most of the plot twists are predictable with someone being the lost son of someone else, and people not being as they seem. An O.K book. | 13 | [

1 | two months, it's in the trash. | Update, the speakers started to get a loud buzz when the phone was in the docking station.

1 | True Cost = $450!!! PLEASE READ before you buy. | I bought these after seeing them on TV. I'm not usually the kind of person to talk down a product, but in this case I feel obligated. I purchased these for my 2003 civic to replace my plugs. Within a month, the engine was stuttering and hesitating. I brought it for service and they said my ignition coils were failing and needed to be replaced. $450 for diagnostic, new coils and labor. At first I assumed it was just the coils' time to go... but my new set of coils didn't make it more than 2 miles from the shop before the engine started acting up again! Cylinders 1-3 were misfiring. Shop guys said the plugs blew out the brand new coils in 5 minutes flat! They replaced them and threw in some new plugs because they felt bad for me. Haven't had a problem with fresh coils and new plugs. I'm in the process of writing the company to see if I can get them to pay my bill. This is a clear case of crappy merchandise. | 13 | [

1 | What's the big deal? | Just another movie about drugs; selling them, doing them, etc. (Yawn.) What's with all the hype? Don't believe it's a "must-see" just because the ads and the critics say so. They are both bought very easily. The cast is good but how much entertainment value is there in watching a father lose his daughter to drugs and then to prositution? We can see that for free on Jerry Springer. And we are supposed to care about people who are so absolutely stupid? This film, just like real life gives you no reason to care about people who choose to be morons. This film makes you wonder if the producers and writers themselves were high. People on drugs should enjoy it though. It will support their dillusion that they are cool and a rebel. Unfortunately because of this film's success we can expect a dozen carbon-copies within the year. Remember when movies used to be a good experience? | 14 | [

1 | Not the best... | One of the reviewers here said that these compilations have lost steam since Jose Padilla left...that is right and wrong. While I do think vols. 1-6 are all must haves, let's not forget 7&8, both of which are excellent. Vol. 9 is widely considered by most Cafe Del Mar fans to be the weakest in the series (just avoid it all together) and vol. 10 seems to be heading more in the direction of the last volume. One of the reasons why I (and most people) listen to this type of music is to transport us into another world...to make us feel transcendent or alive in a way other music just doesn't. Besides the last few songs, most of this lackluster and boring comp. is repetitive and just not very interesting. Bottom line: If you didn't like vol. 9, you will not like this one either. If you're new to the Cafe Del Mar cd's and this is your first purchase, go back and buy vol. 5 (the best IMO) and then move on the the far superior Hotel Costes or Buddha Bar series. | 13 | [

2 | Magical animation that glues our 4- and 2-yr olds | I normally do not buy Japanese movie videos mainly because unfortunately they are mostly not entertaining (There are some good ones, I admit.). But, when I happened to see this animation shown at Kinokuniya Bookstore in NYC, I was glued to the video screen for a while. The picture was so detailed and beautiful. So, I bought one. My kids have been watching it a couple of times a day since I bought it four months ago. My 4-year old daughter indentifies herself with "Mei" (or May?).The things that appear on Totoro are clearly from 50s and early 60s in rural Japan. They must appeal to Japanese people in my generation or older. "Auto Sanrin" (three-wheel truck), for example.I cannot wait to see his other works. We just saw Kiki's Delivery Service this weekend. I like KDS better than Totoro because KDS has a better story structure and exciting scenes in it. I hear "Castle in the Sky" will be released some time this year. Does anyone know when? | 13 | [

1 | Ventaire Bottles | I purchased the ventaire bottles before my baby was born. I am a mother of 5 children and playtex products are a comman name in our household. We used the ventaire bottles for 5 weeks before process of ilimination brought us to the bottles. Our son had so much gas and stomach pain we had to go to our pediatrician for advice. We tried gas medications and home remidies nothing seemed to work. After 5 weeks and countless changes we switched to a regular plastic bottle with the playtex nipple. The gas went away and we now have a very happy baby. Not to say this bottle story will help all babies with gas that are using the ventaire. It might have been how our baby drinks, and the regular bottles just seem to work with him better. I will as always continue to use all the great playtex products just not the ventaire. If you have an address I could use to send them back for a refund to use towards a different playtex product it would be greatly appreciated. Thank You. Lisa | 13 | [

" " I'm Baaack!" ) and some of the dumbest actions ever (let's upload a virus into the Alien computer!) this movie is just.. .... I mean, come on, they put the President in a jet. How stupid is that. And Will Smith is just horrible in this movie. This is your typical "The world is in trouble, it's USA to the rescue" movies, and is, in my opinion, one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Just think of all the starving kids they could have fed by not making this thing. Instead, they waste tons of donatable dollars to give us this moronic waste of time. Pathetic. It's not 'I'll watch it to make fun of it' horrible, it's just plain HORRIBLE. Period. | 18 | [

2 | great expectations! | I am a teacher and tried last year to read and teach this novel but used the original. (6th graders) This copy is the novel but an adapted version. The print size, the text appearance are friendly. The authenticity and truth of the story are upheld. All my expectations have been met. There are questions at the end of the text. Wanted about 20 copies but did not want to pay the top price! Like usual Amazon came to the rescue. Can't wait to introduce the children to a classic but closer to their level. It is authentic to so many of the important quotes. Not too many authors have one of their novel's characters last the test of time, meaning Scrooge. Dickens created him and we know the symbolic Scrooge, one hundred years later...we need to acknowledge his greatness as a writer. | 12 | [

1 | Can't get into the Learning Kingdom!!!!!!! | We are sooo disappointed. Do not get this game. While it has good learning activities in the end it was horribly disappointing. You have to work through all four levels of all four sections in order to unlock the learning kingdom. For a young child it was hard to get all the way to the end "reward" My son was really excited to get to the end and unlock the Learning Kingdom. So we worked on it together. Spending far more time than I would have liked and then....you get to the gate, unlock it and........nothing happens. You don't actually get to go into the kingdom. The characters just stand there at the gate and then you go back to the beginning. My son is still trying to figure out why after all that it still isn't working. I'm so mad I could spit. I tried to send a message to the company to complain but no luck. Instead I thought I'd give a review at least. | 13 | [

1 | K&N - No measurable gains | The product fit perfectly and was easy to install in the factory casing. However, for costing almost 4 times as much as a standard paper filter from Fram I would expect to at least think I was getting any performance gains. There is absolutely no gains in gas mileage, and it sure doesn't feel like there are performance gains in acceleration. At least it is re-usable, provided I buy the cleaning oil at around ten dollars a bottle. Come to mention it, when that time comes I will be in about 50 dollars and could have replaced a paper filter five times. . . Value? maybe if you plan on keeping your car for the full million mile warranty the K&N filter comes with. My advice, stick with the paper filters or go with a cold air intake. No sense in hoping this product will benefit you in any manner performance wise. | 11 | [

2 | Best Half-Life Mod | Well, like I said, it is the best Half-Life Mod. But don't buy it, download it. The only reason I would buy this game is if I had a slow connection like a 56k modem. Even then, gameplay is going to be a little bit choppy and you are going to be at a slight disadvantage to the rest of us with cable and DSL service. But back to the game, It has a very innovative idea being once you die, you are dead (for that round). Rounds usually last around 5 minutes or until everyone from one team dies. Speaking of teams, there are two of them, terrorists and special forces teams (like Rainbow Six). Unfortunately there is only one type of gameplay though, cops rescue hostages. That is it. I like the game as a whole but if you haven't been playing it for the last year then you are going to get tore up by those of us who have been playing. Good luck to those who try this game and happy fragging. | 11 | [

1 | beyond used | I know when I bought this item it was marked as used. Having said that, what I recieved was not even useable. The heatsink had scratches on the contact surface. The heatsinks fins were coated with tar and completely clogged. The fan made a loud grinding growling sound when plugged up. The clamp that held the heatsink to the proc was broken. So basicly I was shipped something from the trash bin. Criminal in my opinion. For any one reading this. I would definatly NOT BUY FROM THIS GUY EVER!! | 11 | [

2 | For Children?? | I don't understand the part that this book is recommended for children. The pages to color are pretty advanced, and probably meant for maybe 15-16 year olds and older. Someone who will take the time to concentrate, and stay in the little, detailed lines. Some of those "fried Eggs" can get pretty small. This is NOT a calendar. It is more of a "seasonal" book. There are themed pages. Some summer, and some with snow for winter. Leaves falling for fall. No dates, and stuff like that.Just wanted to clarify. Thanks for listening. | 11 | [

1 | Just plain dumb | I think I laughed once during the whole movie. It really surprises me how many people thought this movie was hilarious. I've only recently watched a couple Adam Sandler movies because I told a friend I didn't like Adam Sandler(I couldn't stand his routine on Saturday Night Live), so he challenged me to watch some.He raved, and others of my friends raved, about Happy Gilmore. Well I watched it and I just thought it was so dumb. That idiotic voice he uses sometimes and beating everyone up...it was just so stupid to me. I would've stopped after the first 10 minutes, but I thought I owed it to my friend to finish the whole thing. Yuck! This was the typical Adam Sandler that I expected and do not like. Click was pretty good. I was surprised to like that one. But Happy Gilmore gets a big thumbs down from me. I guess I'm the odd ball since everyone else seems to love it. Ha. | 13 | [

2 | Top of the game | SanDisk's sliding connector is definitely the best around. After four months of abuse, the connector is rock stable and shows no sign of fragility. The casing is only very slightly scratched despite being mixed together with keys, spare change, and an occassional pocket knife. It's simply the most durable thumb drive I'm come across.I'm not sure what the U3 scandal is about. I use TweakUI to disable autorun on all devices. And I'm a disk image junkie (Acronis is my first choice now that Symantec has corrupted all things good.) So although U3 support software may have been installed on my system early on, it is not on my system now nor will it be in the forseeable future. In other words, I don't see why U3 would be a show stopper. I certainly don't agree with assigning the drive just one star in protest. It's easy enough to circumnavigate the issue altogether.Great device. I wish more usb mini devices would adopt the same retracting connector. The tooth paste caps are worthless. | 12 | [

I gave it 4 stars because the beats can knod your head but they dont challenge you til you're like "YO! das a bad beat!!!" I like the CD, so It'll save us time if I just tell you the tracks I skip...Cool?3, 7 (sometimes) and 13.And to Will. You cant please everybody, Playa.

2 | Have to love a PI with a PhD in English | Tres Navarre is a PI in training that I want to read more about. He has good support too in his friend, Ralph (maybe a Latino Hawk?). I even liked Tres' Mother, and his cat. What I didn't like was tres having to take a 4-year old on surveillance. This was a job for which Tres' boss was getting paid, even though the 4-year old is adorable, this was too cutesy. The worst thing in the book is probably a minor detail to most people but it really bugged me. The fact that Tres is constantly being threatened with various punishments for working without a license. Mostly in ths book he is working for his friend, Milo, a lawyer. Unless Texas is different from most states, One does not need a PI license to investigate for a lawyer.But it is not clear that Milo is licensed in Texas. Anyway this is a minor glitz, if any, since surely Tres will have his license in the next book.... If you like PI's this one is pretty good. | 11 | [

1 | Interesting reading... no education to be found | I read this book many years ago, while employed at AAM. Found it to be very Disappointing & lacked the passion I was hoping to learn from it. The book starts out talking about stories & how he asked every employee " How can I help you do your job? What is it you need?" The second half of the book talks in management/manufacturing lingo. Must be why it's a MUST-HAVE for Purdue students. As it turns out Mr. Dauch broke the union, saved labor cost, raised prices of products & made Billions. Let it be known, all business's who do business with AAM are most often owned my a Dauch family-friend or colleague. True americanism at its finest. I (and many former employees) will never buy anything with a AAM product installed in it. By the way, after giving up on this book, I sold it to the first person who bid on it. 1 STAR is simply too much. | 12 | [

1 | This movie will not please the normal person... | This is my first movie review and I'm ashamed that it has to be a bad one but hey it's fun to be here. My wife and I are normal hard working white collar people who love all sorts of movies. I don't think we've ever missed a new release together on DVD. My word speaks for those like us out there, please have trust in my comments. Fargo was great...O brother was a little less than great....Ladykillers is not so great. Mr. Wayans is funny at times but eventually you get sick of the abusive language. Tom Hanks tries to overwhelm us with his brillance and falls short in this one, sorry Tom big fan but no on LK. The characters were interesting if the movie was a short skit but two hours of the same babble from each character got tiring. The story lacked pace and excitment. Too slow and not enough action. We got the metaphor of the whole movie but by the end it didn't satisfy. I suggest you pass on this one even if you are a Tom Hanks or Coen fan. | 12 | [

1 | Ugly Paperweight | Someone bought this for our office to replace an older electric stapler that was jamming occasionally.This one does not jam. That's because it doesn't staple. It's quite easy to "feel" that your two sheets of paper have passed through the sensor, but the stapler is a non-starter. Nothing happens. Now, if you whack the top of it before you insert the papers to be stapled, it will work fine. Once. If you have more than one set of papers to staple, you must whack it each time. This defeats the purpose of having an electric stapler, if you ask me. Before we had electric staplers, we whacked manual staplers.This is also a very tall and ugly appliance, should that matter to you. When it staples, it makes a very loud noise like a gunshot. One of my co-workers has dubbed it RockBiter because of the noise.I'm generally very happy with Stanley products, but this one is a loser. Not recommended. | 12 | [

1 | Terrible Quality | I bought the top of the line Mosquito Magnet Pro back around 2002. It never worked for a full summer. It would work for a while then quit. I had it replaced numerous times then was told they would not replace it anymore even though it kept breaking down. The last replacement I got didn't work from the time I took it out of the box. Needless to say I stopped using them. I figured they are a new product and the company has to work the bugs out before they would reliable. That was a few years ago. This year the mosquitoes are terrible and I thought maybe I'd look into buying a new Mosquito Magnet. Surely they have gotten better over the years. I'm sorry to read that they are having the same quality and customer service problems now that they had in the beginning. I would stay clear of this product. The company hasn't learned a thing about quality and customer service in the past years. That's a very bad sign. | 14 | [

2 | Backstreet's Still Got It | The "Backstreet Boys- Official Book" is finally out and I think It's about time. One of the hottest groups in the world should have a special item that opens up their lives to the people that made them who they are- the fans. This book contains many pictures, and captions from the boys' perspective. From the early backstreet years up until this past tour, pictures tell many stories. Stories that have not surfaced until now. The only dissapointment that I had while reading this book was that there were no actually written pages, only the captions and the pictures. Those are great, don't get me wrong, but I hoped for some written thoughts from the boys. I gave the book 4 stars, only beacuse of that. I am a huge backstreet boys fan and I have been since 1998. I am impressed with AJ, Brian, Howie, Kevin, and Nick and I will continue to stay a BSB fan till that horrible day comes up. Excuse me, I have to get the kleenex. | 11 | [

2 | The Gentleman Champion | It was the golden age of gentlemen racers. They wore street clothes and polo helmets, and wore no seat belts. They thought it was safer to be thrown from the car then to be strapped inside of it in an accident. It is difficult nowadays to fathom how dangerous the sport was back then. The tracks were not ringed by great big runoff areas and armco barriers; back then it was concrete curbs, telephone poles, fire hydrants, trees, and spectators. They truly risked their lives each time they went out. The danger is what made it exciting both to the drivers as well as the spectators. The drivers were heroic figures to me, like fighter pilots going out on a mission.This book captures not only the life of Fangio, but of his times. Moss, one of the very greats, was the perfect person to write an autobiography of Fangio, his friend and rival, the only driver better then him. Their battles on the track are legendary. A haunting tribute to the best driver who ever lived. | 11 | [

1 | ANTICLIMACTIC | What can I say about this movie? It could have been great. Such intriguing topics. The moral issues of cloning. Where do you draw the line between life and death? Should doctors play God, and what happen if they do? Too bad they were wasted on this movie. Godsend has a slow story line , is poorly expalined with a very unclear ending. This movie was like a rollercoaster ride with a very long climb and a very short drop. You keep thinking ok this will get better. I know it'll pick up if only I stick it out. I'm sad to say this movie never picked up and never really made any sense. It failed to hold my interest and will probably fail to hold yours too. | 13 | [

2 | Thank you | We bought this gun last minute for our son for his birthday. He loves it!! We have had it for a month now and it has been used quite a lot. We have had no trouble. The gun is every thing they said it would be. We priced guns in stores and this was by far the best deal and a better gun. The bonus feature is that it looks really cool. All my sons friends thought it was awesome.The company was so great that sent it. They rushed it to us in time for his birthday. They also sent him a loader when they found out it was his birthday. They were very helpful and easy to communicate with. | 11 | [

1 | Should I buy, or should I not? | I am a long time fan of Whitney Houston and there was once upon a time when I would buy her music just because it was Whitney. Now I am very hesitant about purchasing ANY of her music because the one single I heard on the radio did not sound good at all to me. The reviews I have read have helped me alot in reference to purchasing her c.d. I would advise anyone who is thinking about purchasing her c.d. to listen to it first before you purchase it. It is so sad that Whitney Houston seemed to have lost the talent that the Good Lord gave her to drugs. She was once a classy lady and now she is hooked on drugs. I too saw her on the Diane Sawyer show on ABC. Not only did she seem to have been high on something, Bobby looked VERY HIGH. I hope one day soon she comes to her senses, leave Bobby and let go of the drugs and be a real mother to Bobbi Christina. Whitney I am begging you to please get help before it's too late.Be Blessed.DD | 11 | [

1 | Well, it's a good YA title: reminiscent of other YAs read | I certainly won't forget this book, parts of it. But it won't be one of my favorites. That wouldn't keep me from recommending it. Heavens! Everyone to his or her own choosing, is my thought!But I got a bit tired of the heavenly circumstances and the fact that nothing would really be resolved. And having read the blurb from respected writer Anna Quindlen on the back cover, comparing this book to To Kill A Mockingbird, just makes me wonder who was paying her to write the blurb.The tragedy of this girl's death, horrible murder and rape and slaughter, and the continued life of her serial murderer is sickening. Justice played out by nature is good, even humorous; unexpected, yet predictable.I know this is a best seller, a runaway best seller, but I am glad I did not rush out to get it. I would have been disappointed. Am I glad I read it? Of course! I don't want someone else to make up my mind for me.Would I recommend it? Not without reservation. | 12 | [

1 | Glorified fornication passing for a movie!! | We take turns in book and movie reviews. Here is my say on this so-called movie/dvd.The only way to enjoy this dvd is with the sound turned completely off. That's right, just watch the entire movies in silence. At least your eyes will enjoy what will otherwise torture your ears and mind.Let's see what your ears/mind would miss. (I wish mine had.) Marital breakup over oral sex. Hmmm, oh, father and son dating same female (there are old testament laws against such). Black males and black females can't get along, what's new. And the big mouth no-talent d.l. hughley, yuck.I knew something was wrong when all my bookclub member could say about this movie is "uh, well morris chestnut is fine." I mean that's all she could say.Save your money on this dvd and buy a poster of Morris Chestnut, it's less expensive on time and money and mentality. | 11 | [

2 | light entertainment | I finished this book last night after a one-day read. Not bad. The characters kept me interested. Especially enjoyed Eleanor, the mother. Felt that she was a believable and sad left-behind housewife. What I did have a hard time believing was the age of the main character. She seemed to have a lot of wisdom for a late-20's young mother. I can't imagine a grad student at that age being so introspective about marriage. She actually figured out that if you give marriage a chance and can get over the immature stumbling blocks of the early years, it may actually turn out well. It usually takes an empty-nester to realize that! Overall, it was entertaining. | 11 | [

2 | Know what you want! | This is a camera for those that know exactly what they want. If you don't know, then don't get this one. I have owned it for 1yr now, I've used it for skydiving, snowboarding, skiing, and when I want to do stupid crash related stuff. That is what it is made for!I also took it to Europe for 6months, and used it all the time. Great size to travel with. Can hide it on you easily for safe keeping. The webcam features were a nice addition too. Video chat with family half way around the world, and didn't need another camera!I am just now buying a replacement battery because when you plug the camera in, it does not has an auto shutoff. So I burned my battery out. However you can buy external chargers that have auto charging systems!Down sides of this camera:Digital pictures are LOW qualityCharging the battery = DamageOther than that, the camera has prefomed better than I expected. And has taken a BEATING! Great crash camera! | 12 | [

1 | Piece of Junk! | I don't normally do reviews, but I felt that I had to on this one. This stroller is very poorly constructed. I have had it for two days now and already the fabric on the seat is torn in two places and the seat is broken. There are two little latches on the seat, and one of them broke off, so now the seat is crooked. I was not rough on the stroller at all. The fabric gets caught very easily on the frame when you fold it up and unfold it. That's how it got ripped. As far as the seat, I didn't notice it until I took my son to the zoo for the day, and tried to figure out why he was sitting so crookedly. Also, the wheels squeak horribly. I was totally embarrassed driving the thing around. The positives are that it does look nice, it rides pretty smooth, and the wheels come off easily so that it fits in car trunks without a problem. Still, the poor quality outweighs the pros, so I will be returning it. I would not recommend it. | 13 | [

1 | Just make sure you buy it on sale. | If you are not already a Jordan fan, DO NOT become one. At least not until he finishes the bloody thing. If you have already been sucked in, do yourself a favor and buy it on sale, because you know you are going to buy it. I'm still not sure it was worth the $12 I paid for it. But then, books 7-10 havent been either. If you have read the short story as it was published in the Legends book, then you have already read this. Oh a little tidbit here and there, but nothing of use or substance. Its an ok book if you have a couple days to kill and nothing else to read. But if you read it and are disappointed, you have been forewarned. And if you read it and think its the greatest thing since sliced bread, well, I'm sure that its best I not say what I'm thinking.

2 | These work but need patience | These work great but are definitely just a novelty. As an actual cup/shot glass, these do poorly. Hard to hold on to, melt rather quickly and you can get your lips stuck to the cup. Despite this I still give it 5 stars. No one should buy these expecting to replace all their kitchen cups with these. They have been a hit at parties, especially outdoor/patio ones. People take a shot and just throw the glass in to the yard. Here in Florida, it melts quick.I will admit that maybe 20% of the time, I get one of the cups that's unusable once it's frozen due to bubbles and such. I don't blame the product since it is simply a mold. But make sure to prepare well in advance for a party if you use these. Using koolaid in the mold also gets a cool (but sticky) result. | 11 | [

1 | Not what I expected it to be!!! | I am actually quite disappointed with this book that I just received. It is not much of an activity book. They should have called it a 3D crinkle book instead because that is pretty much all it does. Every page is the same crinkly fabric over and over again. I was hoping it would have buttons to fasten, zippers to zip, velcro to put together, ties to tie together, etc. but it doesn't. If I were to design a book I would put all that kind of activities in it and more. It does have a string with a handle that you can pull and an object moves, but I feel that is only something an older child will be able to master. I am still hoping that it will keep my child's attention and prove me wrong, but I doubt it. For people out there who are thinking about buying this book, please don't waste your money because it is not worth the price. I am sure that you can find another activity book on the market with a lot more "activity." | 11 | [

1 | It's no Hot Dog: the Movie, that much I can tell you! | Aspen Extreme (1993) Former A-Team writer Patrick Hasburgh branches out with this endurance test disguised as a movie about two Michigan guys who move to Aspen, Colorado. They become ski instructors and in a completely surprising turn of events, meet up with every ski movie cliche you could think of. The lead meets a wonderful female disk jockey who truly understands him and a rich woman who wants to use him as a plaything. Hmmm. Which one will he choose? The sidekick gets mixed up in some shady dealings and nearly drags his buddy down with him. How will he pay for this crime? Uh oh! What about that nasty German ski champ who has taken the trophy four years in a row? Who could possibly beat him? And why won't the actress playing the rich woman (Finola Hughes-Generation X) stop smiling? There's nothing funny here! So, hey, Patrick, I don't think Mr. T. and Dirk Benedict are busy; might be time to start thinking about that reunion show! | 13 | [

2 | Best SINGLE DISC Compilation | Does this leave out a lot of the Beatles best songs? Yes, it does. But is there a better album to introduce you to the Beatles? No, I don't think so. Sure, the anthology sets go into more detail and have a better selection, but you need to buy all of them, which is quite expensive. This is an inexpensive single album. I don't care for much of there early stuff, and this CD gives you the highlights of them. Then come some of their later hits, but most of their best songs were not number one hits and therefore have been neglected. However, this is the album that got me addicted to the Beatles, and I think it can do the same for you. I would reccommend first buying this CD, then if you like it at all, every album from Rubber Soul all the way to Let it Be. Magical Mystery Tour and Let it Be may not be necessary unless you're a real fanatic. | 11 | [

1 | another poor sound mixed review | I started to watch this with my father. I have to agree with everybody else, the sound was processed for the music, not the narration. Peter Graves opens each chapter with a short discussion. Set your audio system for the introduction, and then you must reset it for the Richard Rogers music, and then turn up the volume for narration. As everybody else writes, you can not hear the narration. N.B.C. should go into the vaults and pull the sound reels out to remaster the audio. I don't care about the idea that Roger's music could be processed in stereo. The masters most likely were recorded in mono. All they have to do is pull the music down and bring up the narration.It is ashame that many of the WWII veterans may have hearing problems to begin with. Wouldn't it benefit them to rework the audio so they can hear the program, before it's too late............. | 11 | [

1 | Twinkie blues | Okay, this book is only 10 bucks but I still feel ripped off. It takes one 12-bar progression in one key -- G, C and D -- and tabs some very basic licks for each bar of the progression. As for the "cool riffs", I routinely come up with better stuff than this just noodling on the couch in front of the tv. There are a few good ones, but most are very basic and uninspired, sometimes as few as two notes per bar, and relies heavily on bends in place of more interesting licks. The book is only 32 pages, with lots of white space that could have been used for detailed explanations but isn't. With a little reformatting the page count could easily be cut in half. But my complaint isn't about quantity -- this is just a very low caliber publication with a slick cover. If blues books were desserts, this one is a Twinkie. Unless you're a complete novice, save your money for something better. And keep this in mind the next time you consider buying a Hal Leonard book. I know I will. | 11 | [

2 | Build A Pond | Hey!I don't know much about building ponds, and I didn't even really buy this book for myself. However, I do find the book to be filled with reliable and important information. Do I think this 32 page book can give me all the information I might need to actually build a pond? No. Of course not. But it's a starting point, and a pretty good one, too. For the small price, I think it's worth it. But I do suggest you get some further information before undertaking such a serious operation such as building a pond. For that matter, I wouldn't suggest taking that on without at least consulting an expert, if not having them build it for you. Especially if this is your first time building a pond.One thing to know, there are a lot of pictures. Unfortunately, they aren't as useful as they could be, as they are small and in black and white. Changing these to color would help immensely.Anyway, hope this helps all you potential customers out there. Have a great day, and happy reading!Luv ya,Tashi :) | 13 | [

1 | waste waste waste | I made the mistake of buying a Panasonic fax machine that uses ink film. The images are good and the phone features are OK. But boy do they waste ink film!!!! We live in a lighting prone area and have to unpug often. Every time you turn this unit back on, or make a copy, or print a fax, it simply chows ink film. And, of course, it always seems to run out without warning right when you are about to print a very critical document. Well over half of my last roll was unutilized. Waste, waste, waste. Did Panasonic design this machine to advance film unnecessarily and thus force people to buy their expensvie film rolls more often? Well, they helped me to advance to another brand. Incidentally, at my office I still have an old thermal Panasonic phone/fax that works great. It was a real quality unit. | 12 | [

1 | Dune Jumps the Shark | I was not able to finish this book. I love the Dune series up to this point. And I still think Frank Herbert was a brilliant writer. I'm just not sure what he was going for here. I absolutely loved God Emperor of Dune. I thought that book was exceptionally well written. I really liked the characters in that novel. Especially Hwi Noree and Siona. Not to mention Leto II himself. That's why I was so dissapointed with Heretics. The way God Emperor ended was a perfect ending for this series. To explore the effects of The Scattering may have seemed like a good idea. But it's just too far away from what Dune was originally all about. And it's just not that interesting. | 14 | [

2 | Original Ideas | This will be a short review of the book. As ususal Robert Reed does not disappoint. It's obvious that this book was not planned, i.e. that Marrow was to be a stand alone novel. Normally when an author decides to expand a story from one book to three, the writing seems weak, almost forced. The same cannot be said about this book. It's very entertaining with enough action to keep the reader interested from beginning to end. I've read almost all of Mr. Reed's books and consider myself a huge fan. What amazes me most is that he is able to describe scientfic terms/concepts almost as if it were poetry. The write is clean, crisp and flows. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoyed Marrow. | 11 | [

1 | Hear me out... | I loved the novel, sure. I give the novel five stars. But this is a movie we're reviewing here. So many people say you have to "look past" the acting, direction, production values, etc. But when you do that, all you're left with is a script. A book. Read the novel. The story is, in fact, amazing with great dialogue and characters. But as a movie, the production is quite poor. As for the great soundtrack, put in Brian Eno's album "The Drop" while you read the book and you will get the same effect. Enjoy! | 11 | [

2 | Wonderfully easy toy | I got this for my 3 year old. We both love it. The "rockets" are extremely soft and could not hurt a fly even if they were to land on someone. It is all air powered and kids love jumping on the air pump which shoots the rocket into the air. My son (3) has no problem operating the toy.1. Put rocket on vertical tube2. Jump (or run and jump) on air pump3. Watch rocket fly4. Fetch rocket (done by child)5. Wash, rinse, repeat (all happily done by child while mom\dad drink his rum punch)Bonus: One minute initial first time setup. Parents need to click three plastic pieces together in order to create the vertical rocket stand as seen in the picture. | 11 | [

1 | another poor remaster | Let me begin by saying that I love Depeche Mode, and this is one of their best albums IMHO. Unfortunately, this remaster is like so many others from the 80s with a bloated mastering level and squashed dynamic range. Compared with the original CD it sounds thin and fatiguing. Maybe this is a conscious effort on the part of record producers to make the sound more friendly to compression to MP3 format or to listening on a portable device with really poor earbuds. However, when played on a high performance system the sound really suffers. Listeners are encouraged to check out this phenomenon [...]. Do yourself a favor and hold on dearly to the original CD. It sounds much more potent and involving. The same goes for other remastered music from the great 80s. Regard the remasters with a healthy dose of skepticism. Rock on! | 11 | [

1 | TERRIBLE PRODUCT! COSTUMER SERVICE EVEN WORSE!!! | I have used this cd player for about 3 weeks for 20 minutes a day (played a cd before my baby went to sleep). It broke, so I tried contacting the customer service. It took 6 times (about 20 minutes each time!)before anyone even answered!! Man that I spoke with was probably the most rude customer service person that I have even meet in my entire life! Told me to send the product back to them AT MY COST and they will review and replace it. Didn't give me a reference number! I was so annoyed that I only asked if I mail it to the address on the COBY website. He said yes! I waited about a month, was on hold again for 20 minutes. When I finally got him on the phone again, he said they never received it, that I sent it to the wrong address. I am so frustrated with the whole situation. It's not about the $30, but about a company that doesn't stand behind their product! I have lost money that I paid for it, plus shipping! very dissapointed! | 15 | [

2 | Durable. Somewhat comfortable. | Blue collar jobs require some comfort level. I have an average build and this pant fits me well in all sorts of positions. Whether squatting to pick up a heavy object or climbing across blocked off areas to get merchandise, this pant gives me ample room. If you have thicker thighs, that might be a problem. After 10+ washes, it's still rough. I don't mind though. I normally wear a 30 L and it should be fine but this one seems to ride up on the back of the shoe. It didn't shrink or anything after the washes but it just needs a tug to get it back down after going up stairs. Maybe I'll get the 31 L next time. The waist was fine. Big plus is that my sweat doesn't show through under the waist line for some reason. That's good because w/ my old pants, once the sweat dried, it would leave a white residue on my backside. | 12 | [

2 | Recommended | I purchased the Rino 120 about a year ago. It has been on many trips with me. I have had it attached to my camel pack while mountain biking and hiking. It has been through several crashes on the bike with me. While Geocaching, I dropped it into a stream. I snatched it back up, and found it to be operating perfectly. I have had this on the outside of my pack during light to heavy rain, with no problems. I can do many trips on a set of batteries. I use it often when 4X4'ing with my Jeep. I'll preset coordinates for intersections or points of interest, and it keeps me right on. When Geocaching, it has always led me within a few feet of cache.My only "gripe" would be that there is no connection for an external antenna. My screen has a "dark" patch on it...kind of like when you press on an LCD screen. It does not interfer with the view on the screen though. | 13 | [

2 | Forever by Jude Deveraux | First off, I have to say that Jude is my all time favorite author of romance novels! "Forever" is the first novel of her's I've read in a year or so, so it was refreshing to read. I loved it, couldn't put it down. Sure, some of the characters were "unbelievable" but who cares? It's fiction,right?I only had 2 problems with this book: The ending was abrupt and seemed rushed, or like something was missing (kinda like "High Tide") and there was no sex scene in the whole book. Although, the story didn't really need one, come on! It's a romance novel! It was like a lot of foreplay.....I would definitely reccommend this book though, I really enjoyed it, it's funny, witty and the typical Montgomery man rescuing a damsel in distress.And Jude, if you ever read this - Can you please write some more Historical Romance Novels? I like those best, and you're so good at them! Especially the family sagas like the Velvet ones (loved!) Thanx for reading ( : | 11 | [

2 | Give the guy credit | A fun read. Though the book was somewhat shallow, so is this profession. But everyone must understand that these people (gossip columnists) play an essential role in making celebrities into . . . . celebrities. Tabloids and columnists help careers and though they won't admit, PR agencies need the tabloids and columnists. Celebrities are whores for the notoriety. AJ shows us that. He helped made some stars into who they are today. AJ made a name for himself. He made relationships. It's all about having the relationships and the balls to capitalize on them. This book provides a somewhat entertaining insight to the NYC club world / social life from a guy who had to earn his front row seat. I wish him all the best. | 16 | [

1 | A Great Vocalist; A Lousy Recording | My fellow reviewers have one of two things happening: (1) they received different discs than I, or (2) they have been smoking some very serious stuff. The average review is five stars? I can give it only one which is a major disappointment! Why? Although the title of the CD is accurate, the quality of the disk is perfectly terrible. A number of tracks reproduce horribly and No. 2 (There I Go) is particularly bad. One wonders why the folks that make thse recordings can't take the time to make certain that the customer gets a decent recording for his or her money. If original master recordings need to be cleaned up in order to give the listener a fair shake then this needs to be done. This is a perfectly wonderful assortment of Vaughn Monroe's recordings.

1 | totally disapointing | Before I read this book I read "C for dummies by Gookin", it was perfect, clear, sequential, and VERY funny. I can now write C without guessing and stressing. Then I tried to read C++ all-in-one by Cogswell and was deeply disappointed. The humor is NOT funny, it's lame. The material is dry. It is written as though someone was trying to teach your 60 year old mother how to program C++. It's truly a book for actual dummies. Imagine that. No details or inner-workings are explained, complex ideas are "brushed over" and frankly after 120 pages it now lays in my garbage can. Very disappointed. Now I search for a new C++ book. | 11 | [

2 | A Book That Couldn't Be Put Down | Wow! This book is truley amazing! Kristiana Gregory did quite a wonderfull job on this book. I remember at night I would open up my book and I'd read about 30 pages or so. For most eleven year old it's a hard task to read that many pages because most kids are to busy playing Play Station or something but to me it was quit a pleasure because this book just really captured me. Sometimes I'd just get so caught up in this story and it felt like I was traveling on the trail with Hattie. I just can't tell how much I love the book. I would recamend this book to anyone who loves a little adventure and who loves the Oregon Trail. This book truely couldn't be put down! Awesome book Mrs.Gregory.

2 | Good DVD, Except for one Thing | This a good dvd that covers his WCW, ECW, SMW, and WWE days. The only problem that I see with the DVD is the Mick Foley matches from 1998-2000. Which is part of the WWF Attitude era. The WWF logo is smugged out on everything you can think of: Turnbuckles, banners, ring apprains, t-shirts etc... This is pretty annoying and I don't care how diehard of a fan you are because it is an eye sore. I have to tell like it is just like Jesse Ventura. If I was Vince, I would resolve the problem right away with the World Wildlife Foundation because if not fans are just going to buy WWE bootleg dvd's. Which will hurt the company's bottomline. I just don't see people paying $20 to $30 for this shotty production everytime. "Monday Night Wars" and Kurt Angle are the next future WWE DVD releases. I tell you people something, I'm sorry to say this but I'm not that excited it about it. I hope my review helps. | 12 | [

1 | buyer beware!!! | i bought this after not looking at some of the reviews on it. i really messed up doing that !! the player plays ok but i can't get it to turn off !! the only way is to unplug it !! the other thing is you have to use the remote to open the disc tray!! i hate to have to pack it up and send it back but i may have to !! i would say what happened was i recieved one that J & R had sent back to them and was never fixed and i got it instead !! these are the only 2 problems i have so far but it's only been mine a couple of days. | 13 | [

2 | THIS IS A SIX STAR ****** PRODUCT ITS EXCELLENT | This wand does exactly what I wanted it to do. In spite of the other really stupid reviews. You just have to screw it on your hose. It has a rubber gasket that seals perfectly. It DOES NOT leak a bit. It puts out a large volume of water but DOES NOT knock your plants down. That was exactly why I bought it. I wanted a shower like head that puts out a large volume so I don't have to stand a long time with a cheap head that does knock your plants down unless you cut the volume back to a slow mist that takes a long time. I don't know what these other reviewers are drinking but this is an excellent product. It has a very comfortable soft hand grip and full hand trigger which makes it even better compared to ones that just have a one finger trigger. Couldn't be more pleased. Saved $5 more getting the red one which makes it easier to find. | 12 | [

2 | OK, but takes some time | When I saw this game, I knew it would be great for my 13 year-old son. I was right. He is telling me what to write right now. The game is too short with only 3 regions to go to: Tunis, Ardennes, and France. It takes very little time to beat. after about 5 1/2 hrs I beat it.You get a Thompson throughout the whole game, which is good. You cannot pick up the dead enemy's guns, but you won't need them. You can get in tanks, snipe the enemy, and almost anything that a soldier back then could (on the battlefield). The aimiing control takes a while to get used to. After 4 or 5 missions, you should be up to par. This is a great game and I(he) highly recommend(s) it. | 11 | [

1 | pass this up... | This was my first Baldacci audiobook. It seems I picked poorly. I agree with the other reviews that bring up the unbeliveability of the plot, but that was not the worst thing about this book. There were way too many conversations had by characters that were incongruous. When you find yourself saying, "why are these guys talking about this, it makes no sense", then there is trouble. Most of these conversations were to bring background (and i guess Baldacci was going for depth in his characters) but were just boring. Why would the director of a national spy agency and his right hand man have a conversation about "hey, remember when we had all this trouble getting all the spy databases together?" It's like they are reminiscing about old times in a part of the story when they should be talking seriously. blah blah blah. One could be overlooked, but there are many conversations in this story that could be left out and the book would be better. Maybe the abridged version is better :) | 11 | [

1 | Stamps.com doesn't always work with IE9 | Have been a customer of theirs for years, and have had a series of software compatability issues, but this last one, as of Mar 2011 is a real kicker . . after I upgraded from IE8 to IE9 (win7 64bit OR 32bit, I tried both) their software stopped working . . after a series of their folks worked with me and their own testing couldn't reproduce the problem, they basically said, "yr on yr own," instead of spending more time with me to isolate the issue, so that OTHER customers don't have the same problem . . I canceled . . . buggy UI, not enough resolve when the problem isn't immediately apparent to their support folks.They have had other similar problem solving technique when in a previous version, they stopped being able to print international labels, I give up . . USPS.com does the same thing for free, and doesn't cost $16 a month. | 12 | [

2 | Great, for smaller wrists | **Please note, the band width is 20mm, NOT 22mm as Amazon has listed**Yes this watch is small. At least smaller than your typical men's diver.Beware also that it is quartz, so no automatic movement here. This is actually the reason why I bought it, along with its size (7" wrist).So far so good with this watch. It looks a lot better in person than in the photos. The case is polished stainless steel. The bezel has a good, tight, solid movement. Not clanky like one of my seikos. The second hand does not perfectly align with the markers, but I never really cared about that. Lume is ok, but nothing that will blow you away.All in all, this watch is a great value. It can be found cheaper elsewhere, so shop around. But if you want the full warranty, Amazon is probably your best bet. | 11 | [

2 | Love this Author | Call me an oddball, but I really love the old style of writing, and this author really rings the bell for me. The prose is so rich. The insights into human thought, feeling and motivations are entrancing. I first read OF FIRE AND SWORD, then followed up with the other two volumes of the story, THE DELUGE, Volumes I and II. I'm now into the continuation, PAN MICHAEL. I'm of Austro/Hungarian descent and live in a community largely of Polish, Russian and Hungarian roots, so the history means a lot to me. The love stories are woven into the history of wars and conquerers and political intrigue in the history of Poland. By far the best of around 70 books I've read this year. And free, to boot. Can't beat that with a stick :)Please comment on this review to share your thoughts if you pick up these books. I'd be pleased for other recommendations. | 11 | [
