Is this product review positive? Title: Great Audio, Poor Video Review: This is a review more about the DVD transfer than the content.The DTS audio is much better than the DD version. Cleaner and more dynamic sound (which is important for this movie). The video on the other hand, is full screen not anamorphic wide screen. The artifacts are very visible due to the dark screen and fast actions. It is really too bad Universal had done a great job makeing the DTS version available only to be let down by the poor video. I can not recommend it but if you can live with the poor full frame video, get the DTS version. It worth the extra money. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: "The Shadow knows . . ." Review: This is a good, but not great, 40's superhero film. The Shadow, a mysterious figure roaming in the "most wretched lair of villainy we know as . . . New York City," must stop Shiwan Khan (the descendant of Genghis Khan) from destroying the city and ruling the world. This might be a very simplistic plot, but I was quite entertained. It has some great Art Deco designs, fairly intense action sequences, and some perfectly-timed humor. I wouldn't call this a definite must-see, but it's enjoyable enough to keep people interested.Grade: A- Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Multilevel results but overall good fun. Review: The film is not as good as it could have been, but it does connect in several areas and results in a compeling film. The 1930's stylings are well done and it adds to the atmosphere. A little flat at times when it should have crackled and sizzled. Still a good romp though. I also can't believe there is no widescreen version of it on DVD unless the original was not in WS? Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: ACTION Review: I have to say Allec Baldwin did a fantasic job in this movie. I love it If you like suspense and action this is the movie to buy you wont regret it. It has alot of interesting characters by the way Alec plays the role of the grim reaper alec has a very interesting power that will keep you with your eyes wide open. You won't want to pause your dvd. Girls buy this for your husband he will be happy. This is a guy movie but, women will enjoy this just as much I give it 2 thumbs up Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Wait for the letterbox version Review: A great "B" grade film which I already own on VHS. I will not buy the DVD, or recommend anyone else buy it, until it is re-released in letterbox format (which is why I give this version 2 stars). Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: TRUE TO THE TIME PERIOD -- ONLY THE SHADOW KNOWS Review: I can't remember if the laugh used on the DVD is anywhere close to the radio personation but it still intrigues me.Lamont Cranston as THE SHADOW was a radio program that was barely allowed to be heard by the young group.The comic book was an upgrade in visual action.The movie was a coming together of memories from across the years.Alec Baldwin gave an intrigueing and convincing man about town as the SHADOW [which is hard to do with so many preconcreived ideas of the character]The tone was set in the right era which denies all of this modern fancy work. The characters were well matched to the actors portraying them [or visa versa]. It is a movie I will enjoy watching again.Penelope Ann Miller was excellent but not as I imagined Margo Lane. The villians were excellent - the photography great and the illusion of the Hotel tickled me.Yup! Definitely added to my collection as a Classic. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Great action-fantasy Review: This film was definitely not nominated for any academy awards but it sure is a lot of fun to watch.

As with all super hero films there have been changes made, but this film combines elements from the Shadow pupls, comics, and radio programs brilliantly. Excellent! Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Horrible Review: The Shadow is a terrible movie. There's no other way to put it. It's ineptly directed, horrible acted, features cheesy special effects, and has some truly lame action sequences. Definitely a must miss. Answer:
No

Is this product review positive? Title: Enjoyable Recreation Review: I've never really understand the bad rep this movie got. The plot, IMO, has a _lot_ going on; Cranston vs. his dark side, the Shadow vs. Shiwan Khan, prototype atom bombs, disappearing buildings, the Shadow's mysterious organization. Baldwin is only so-so, but any movie with Peter Boyle _and_ Tim Curry is already ahead on points in my book. It takes itself seriously (unlike the campy 70's Doc Savage), but there are still humorous moments in context. And great apropos music and F/X. Give it a chance. Answer:
Yes

Britain has this in standard widescreen. Germany, who co-produced it, has it on Blu-ray. How does it look? You will drool while watching it and be happy for the rest of your life. Done by a crew that cared with some nice extras. Do it... you're not getting any younger. Answer:
Yes

Review: I first heard these songs as a child growing up in Savannah, Georgia and although I hadn't heard them sung in almost 40 years, I've hummed and sung what I could remember of them throughout these years. As fate would have it, I can now listen to these songs as they were sung so many years ago and remember days gone by. This is real gospel, filled with the life experiences of the people who sang them, as they gave praise to God. Thanks for bringing back these memories! Answer:

Is this product review positive? Title: A book filled with homophobia and transphobia Review: Dr. Richard Green has devoted most of his career to the study of homosexuality and transsexuality. His theories often linked with those of Dr. John Money's are promoting an agenda of sex role sterotypes and heterosexism. His theories promote homophobia and transphobia. His theories have harmed children sent to facilities to 'cure' them of their gender identity disorders. He deemed one child cure of gender problems when the boy beat his mother and sister with a stick. It is very sad that Dr. Green is head of the Charing Cross facility in London which is involved in SRS. He has done much to promote the harm of transgendered people. Answer:
No

Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: HAVE TO READ THIS GIVE IT A CHANCE Review: This was one of my first Diana Palmer books. I loved this book. It was the reason I have bought every single one of all her other books. Kate's story was actually my favorite with the mobster and everything that was different. I also like the story between the main characters. I laughed and actually cried throughout this book. Just couldn't believe how involved I got in it. Let two of my friends read because it was so good and I never share my books, made them promise to give it back. I'm reading again just because I love it! Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: skimmed through it Review: I started reading this book, but when I realized there were so many character lines it just got boring. Even though the book is titled Lacy she is just one of several female leads and I dont like that. I bought this book because I have read Noelle by Palmer and enjoyed that because of the focus on the male and female leads, it was also a simple story line. Skip Lacy. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Tooooo many story lines Review: I love Diana Palmer but this book had way too many story lines competing for attention. She should have made this book into a three book trilogy and more fully developed the brother and sister characters. As it is, they just muddle up the story and make it longer than it should be. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: A tremendous discovery for the arm-chair archeologist Review: Truly a remarkable work and an excellent source for students and arm-chair archaeologists alike. Short on the hoped-for graphics and illustrations but long on information, the Oxford Companion proves its worth when one is looking for an appropriate overview of various archaeological topics. Just enough cross-referencing to excite one's imagination and more than enough to whet one's appetite to dig even deeper into archaeology and all that is has to teach us. Answer:
Yes

Is this product review positive? Title: Review from "Choice Magazine", June 1996 Review: "Metter's guide contains a wealth of information not only for writers but for anyone doing research. Biased toward resources found in libraries, the volume covers both general and specific subject materials in printed and electronic format. Part 1 covers basic library collection organization and online searching strategies. Part 2 surveys access for journals, magazines, and newspapers. Part 3 through 5 are devoted to specific subject resources -- biographical, statistical, geographical, legal, etc. Each entry is annotated, and online services are noted where applicable. Included are two appendices, the first a guide to periodical indexes, the second to online and database services. This wonderful accumulation of research materials makes the volume a valuable reference tool for librarians. Highly recommended for writers and librarians." J.P. Burton, West Chester University of Pennsylvania Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Not Great Review: The story line sounded interesting enough. However, characters were very shallow, much of it was serious, then they add a genie. It was like reading a few different stories at once, but no depth to any of the characters. So much more could have been done with this, and the genie could have waited for a different book. I'm really having trouble finishing this one. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Delightful! Review: This was the first of many Jill Barnett books that I will be reading. It was a light romp, an easy read and done in a couple of hours. The characters were an interesting blend of the...unordinary. Even the children were likable! I look forward to more of the same from Ms. Barnett. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Strange Review: Started off okay, however, it soon turned very strange. Set in the late 1800's, but too many items and phrases mentioned throughout are more modern-day. The 'genie' was just over the top for what could've been a decent historical romance, and I skimmed to the end after he poofed his way into the story. It's sort of harlequin meets aladdin. Not my style, but other's apparently enjoy it. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Imagine Review: This book is terrible, wish I could get credit back for this purchase. Have been looking for away to see about getting credit for this downloaded book, but see no way to do it :( Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Disappointed Review: Ok I read this authors Bridge to Happiness, and was wowed by that book. So I searched for another, and saw this was so highly reviewed, I thought to try it. Now there is no comparison between the two books, I won't go there. But this book was very disappointing to me, and I know it's an older, dated offering. It just was off the wall, and the lead characters were beyond annoying. I couldn't stand Margaret enough to care, and was vaguely disturbed that a highly educated woman, with money, was so extremely clueless and we were supposed to accept that. I suppose I just do not have the right Imagination to stick with this book, I deleted it before the halfway mark. I wish I had picked something else to try from this author instead! Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Not worth the 4 stars it currently rates ... Review: I decided to give it a try since it was free. Good thing, 'cause it wasn't worth it otherwise. Maybe I'm not into the fantasy part of it enough, but there's just too much I can't stretch my brain around. I could have enjoyed the story as much, and potentially even more, without the genie. That was just too over the top. Combining the young children, their trauma over losing their parents in such a horrific manner, and the sexual innuendos was a little too much at once. This could have been a touching tale, and could have been almost fun to read if it hadn't been so over the top with the fantasy stuff. The (human) characters were well established and I really enjoyed each of them for their own strengths - and weaknesses. Anyway, if you're into fantasy and just unbelievable mish-mash, you'd probably enjoy this. If you're looking for a story to remember, don't bother. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Too Much for Me Review: I struggled with this book because while the author writes a good story, there's a lot to overlook in the category of believable. I downloaded the book without looking too far into the reviews and finally gave up when the genie in a bottle appeared. I was caught so off guard by his appearance that I read the first couple of sentences of that chapter three or four times before continuing on, certain I'd really missed something previously in the story. So if you want something that could happen in today's world (or even the late 1800s when the story takes place), then you'll want to skip this one.I also wouldn't recommend this book to those looking for a clean romance. Let me just say that the main male of the story is an escaped convict with a very difficult past. While his thoughts, words and actions are within character, they are not for those who prefer carefully guarding what they read. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: A pleasant surprise Review: I started reading this book without reading much of the book description and was so surprised when the Genie came into the story. Would have been wonderful story without him but he added to it. I stopped reading another book in order to read this one. It was such a refreshing read; I really enjoyed it. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Loved it--until a freakin' genie showed up! Review: Got this on my Kindle because it was free, and was thoroughly enchanted by the first several chapters--until a genie shows up! A genie, really?? Why??? The book was just fine without it. So I wound up skipping all the genie parts (and believe me, it really didn't change the story, so that shows how "critical" the genie was--NOT!).Then the book went totally off the rails. You see, the hero started out a bit like Clark Gable in "It Happened One Night" (rough, crude, street-smart, more than a little obnoxious, and VERY dismissive of a woman's abilities)--but he pretty much stayed that way. By the time the heroine "fell in love with him," I was fairly convinced she had Stockholm syndrome. Yes, he finally changed, but only AFTER the heroine had professed an undying love for him. Glad it was free, and I'll check out more Jill Barnett books, but the genie and the obnoxious hero totally ruined it for me. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: no good Review: This sounded like a very good book in the preview. I started to really get into this book until *poof* a genie... that totally turned me away from the book and stop reading all together!!! Couldn't get back into it.... Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Skip this one - there a better out there. Review: Overall quality was great but the mounting options are a joke. Comes with two strips of double sided tape that are basically useless on the steering column plastic. Also, there are no holes to connect the OEM leather steering column cover under the instrument cluster to this unit. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: A Song of a Story Review: This lyrical story nestles in the heart of a vast darkness of human uncertainty, like the ancient Scottish settlement that it depicts. MacKay's writing style brings across the feeling of living in a tiny flame of civilization in the mythic early world of traditional society...where magic is not only real, but serves a practical purpose.

Is this product review positive? Title: Disappointing Review: This book is one of the biggest disappointments in my long life of 65 years. I haven't heard a dozen of the songs included in the book and some of those that I had heard I never liked in the first place. If you're looking for a fake book, keep looking; this book doesn't include chords. The book does include "Rye Whiskey", "Little Brown Jug", and "Good Ole Mountain Dew" and drinking and drinking songs were my only consolation in buying the book. A hearty thumbs down and one quarter of a star to "American Ballads and Folk Songs." Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Successful use of techniques Review: I read many of the reviews of this book before I made my purchase. In reading this and many other ADHD books, I agree that for a successful life, one must learn to control one's behavior or be eaten alive by society in one way, shape or form.The strict disciplinary tact outlined by this book has helped tremendously in curbing my 6 year old's impulsive behaviors. The understanding of the use of affirmative and positive reinforcement as well as "boredom" as a consequence has truly helped our son as well as our parental sanity. This book may not be for everybody - but it is a Godsend for our family. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Overly Simplistic Review: It is obvious that Mr. Stein is an anti Ritalin zealot. His discussion on using Ritalin is sensationalized and alarmist. His discussion of Mr. Barkley's findings appear to be innaccurate.Some of the parenting tips could be helpful and were techniques we used on our other kids without ADHD. They failed miserably with our ADHD child.Ritalin may not be needed by everyone, but it is a life saver for some such as my own child. It does require active parenting techniques to go along with the medication.I would suggest other books by authors with more balanced views should be read rather than this one. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: More than meets the eye Review: The book over simplifies the issue. Behavioral inteventions are a MUST in treating any ADHD/ADD. It must be diagnoised by a physician with the anticdotal observations of parents and teachers, school counselors, etc. This is a real behavioral issue involving real brain chemistry differences. My advise to parents-being a parent of an ADHD child and a counselor is to use both behavioral interventions and medication--at least try the meds for 6 weeks along with using a schedule, more structure, etc. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Profitting from the backlash Review: Dr. Stein is an idiot and obviously does not have ADHD or a child with ADHD. I had the obligation to endure a public statement made by Stein and his summary point was the parents were in pain, not the child, and that the parents were medicating their children to make the life easier. His book is banal and full of the type of self aggrandizing platitudes that embarass the rest of the mental health profession. In many cases, including mine, Ritalin may not be the answer, but Dr. Stein is not either. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: An UNPROVEN pratical program Review: I agree that Ritalin is not the answer, I personally find Adderall to be much more effective. This book is nothing more than pop-psychology that offers no proof. As in most illogical assertions, personal anecdotes are the only proof offered. The sad reality is anecdotes are only useful if the reader WANTS to believe the story.While there is no denying this method could possibly be useful for some people, to suggest it is more effective than stimulant treatment is to ignore the thousands of clinical studies conducted over the last fifty years. I highly suggest that parents who wish to give their child an opportunity at success disregard the fluff of this work. Stimulants WILL help your child. 95% of ADD patients respond to one of the many stimulants on the market. For children, Ritalin is safer than Tylenol. Investigate for yourself. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Another Sensationalist Book from the Flat Earth Folks Review: I don't want to sound like an alarmist, but this book, and many of its ilk, that claim that ADHD is over-diagnosed (it's not) and that medications are extraordinarily dangerous (they are not) misleads way too many people into not exploring appropriate treatments for their children. There is a persuasive group of "flat earth" people who still believe that ADHD is not real, that it is an invention of Psychiatry, and that medications are not a reasonable treatment. When they get others to read these kind of books, they do a great disservice to a scientific perspective and the children who count on parents and adults to make fully informed, 21st century decisions.If you must buy this book, do your children the favor of buying another book that gives a balanced, scientifically proven perspective. Don't just be sucked in by the rhetoric of anti-psychiatry fanatics. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: great parenting advice Review: I like Dr. Stein's philosophy of giving kids responsibility and giving them chances to think about and process their own behaviors. His approach is full of love and wisdom and is helpful even if your children are not on medication. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Hopelessly simplistic Review: I had high hopes for this book, especially after reading some of these reviews. Unfortunately, I found it to be simplistic and incredibly one-sided. Dr. Stein seems to disregard most of the medical research about ADHD. Instead he tells us what we already know and could read in countless other books about child rearing and dicipline. Don't waste your money. I wish I hadn't wasted mine. Answer:
No

Is this product review positive? Title: Just a bad book Review: Oh yuck. I did not know this was a series. Does not matter. Horrible dialogue. Unreal and totally unrelateable characters. I have seen this authors books many places. I thought she might be credible. I read Harlequin romances when I was a young teen. They had more plot than this trite awful book! No plot, no suspense. I did not care. Just horrible! Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Not what I expected Review: I have one word for this book, insipid. If you're a fan of Iris Johansen as I am you will be big time disappointed in this book. It's trite and the dialog simply DOES NOT WORK. Mostly, Lily, the main character was so foolish. The things Andrew told her seemed so farfetched yet she simply believed them.The science fiction or paranormal aspect to the book was interesting. It's just the words these two main characters bat back and forth...it just doesn't play. I don't know under what catagory the author originally marketed this book, maybe that would explain why the book seemed so empty to me.However, if you enjoy some steamy romance, there is a bit of that here. It seemed to me, a book where she was trying it all out to see what works in a book and what doesn't.Borrow this from your library but don't buy it.... Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Poor design Review: Owned this product for two years. Have regretted buying it every time I have to change the filter. It is supposed to go under the sink where access is already restricted, so one would think filter replacement should have been thought through by whoever engineered it and made an easy process. Not so. Plastic screw-in filter holder requires using additional hex driver (included), a pair of pliers, good arm muscles, and a stream of expletives helping it along. You have to use BOTH hands and still it is extremely difficult. I always have to put some grease on the threads, or the next time it would never come off. One day I'd find something better and gladly throw it out. Answer:
No

Is this product review positive? Title: Don't Waste Your Money Review: Headphones with the back of the neck band are good for activities like bike riding. But not these. I've had cheapo headphones from Coby that were good enough, but these are awful. Whatever claims they make about frequency response are simply invented. No bass or anything close at all. The sound is simply not worth listening to. Listening to traffic and birds or whatever is preferable to subjecting your ears to the sound from these things. Don't waste your money on anything from Jwin. Answer:
No

Is this product review positive? Title: Not gray, don't stay up, didn't even ship for a week. Review: I ordered a neutral color, gray, but these are more of a rosy tan (probably taupe, actually). The band across the top has no elastic (none, zero), so they fall to your ankles by the time you've walked into another room. The other thing is they didn't even get around to shipping for a week, so the person bringing them to Guatemala for me almost didn't receive them on time. And because I live out of the country, returning them isn't an option. =\ Answer:
No

Is this product review positive? Title: NOT RECOMMENDED Review: I tried to use this software on a system running windows 98. I had problems using my modem for dial up networking after sending a fax. The only way around it was to restart the computer. The box claims windows 98 compatibility but nowhere in the product manual or online help does it mention it. It also claims to come on CD-ROM. My original order and replacement order arrived as 3.5 floppies. My opinion is that this is just a repackaged product that may have worked with Win/95 or NT. I wasted a lot of valuable time trying to get it to work.Don't waste yours! Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Waste of time-very unprofessional-should be"shareware" Review: I found this program to be a total waste of an entire afternoon. It had no cover page templates as advertised, you had to create your own in a very awkward, slow, child-like interface. I had to fax a 5 page report I had scanned, and I couldn't even import my saved pages into the program! I don't know how many approaches I tried before giving up. The box said compatible with Win95/98, however the pamphlet said only Win95/NT. It ran slow in my Win98SE, and balked in the cover page edit mode, and I repeatedly shut it down and reopened it trying to desparately make a cover page. This program should be offered as a 'shareware' download. I, for sure, wouldn't have paid for it after a trial use! BUYER BEWARE! I would have given this '0' stars if I could have. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Excellent performance! Review: I've purchased at least 5 fax programs over the past 5 years, and none worked very well until I got this one. It loaded in no time. I opened a legal document in MS Word, and faxed it as a test, and Voila! it sent it immediately. The copy received at the fax location was perfect. I have a 56KFlex modem, and a DSL line. There was no conflict. This is a streamlined, slick program, without all the extras you don't need,use or want. It faxes. It does group broadcasts. It does what it says it does. Buy it if you want a small and reliable piece of software. (By the way, a few months ago I used iCommunicate and it ruined my Explorer file, which caused my entire system to crash. I had to get a new computer it was so bad.! ) Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Total waste of money Review: This product is the pits. Sellers should be ashamed for even carrying such a useless product. You can't fax multiple documents, their cover sheets are a joke, and God forbid you write email to their technical support staff for help because you never hear back from them. You can't even import a Word document into a cover sheet, so if you plan to use this for resumes forget it. Whoever programmed this software must never have completed the basics in programming classes because there are so many problems with this software I can't even BEGIN to list them all. Just save your money and try something else. Personally I've found Procomm to be the best program for faxing multiple documents and that's the program I'll end up buying to replace this useless Total Fax junk. Answer:
No

The littlest Lincoln Log pieces were easy to topple over, but the Roy Toy version locks in better with a tighter fit. This fort set is great. Though my 6 year old son didn't find this to be the most exciting toy on Christmas morning, I find him incorporating it into much of his play. Whether he is playing with plastic army men, G.I.Joe, Star Wars or whatever his big imagination is having an opportunity to explore more. This says alot when you look at which toys from Christmas he plays with the most. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Beware of buying this book Review: I have read this book in the hope of learning more about .NET security. Instead, all I got was a whole lot of incomprehensible jargon with long sentences, which does not increase my understanding at all. In fact, some of the code examples are lifted from the MSDN website! The cryptography section is the worst. I cannot understand what the chapter is trying to say after reading it for a few times.There are better books than this. For example, .NET Security and Cryptography by Peter Thorsteinson. Check that out. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Stone aged video Review: This video was undoubtedly produced in the early 1970s. Kind of embarrassing to show it to a high school class--drills with extension cords, bouffant hairdos, jumpsuits. The kids thought it was some kind of joke. Even if the material was accurate, the presentation failed. Answer:
No

Is this product review positive? Title: Happy 80's Mope to You Too Review: I had this CD on my list to explore for some reason, probably because I heard its one real keeper, Homeless Club Kids, streamed somewhere. Think of Van Gogh's painting Starry Night. Then think of some enraptured enthusiast painting a copy of Starry Night for sale to the sidewalk crowd outside the MoMA here in New York. That's what My Favorite is to the Smiths, The Cure, etc, a pretty bleak alternative. The music is listenable and -- as the techo bonus disc also proves -- club danceable, the lyrics are mannered, depressing and banal all at once. On a few cuts the female singer Andrea Vaughn makes more of them than they deserve. Recommended downloads: The Happiest Days of My Life, Homeless Club Kids, Burning Hearts and the Black Cassette. As for the rest, forget it. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Great Idea, Ok Execution, Poor Quality Control Review: Found this toy 2 months ago at a Science Museum, bought it for the birthday of a child. Today, we open the present and find that it has 2 missing pieces and extra of another piece and they are tiny. The purple peg board is too light, making it more challenging for toddlers. The peg board fits in half the size of the packing box, its approximate dimensions are width 8.25" x 2" depth X height 4"Since this set is missing pieces, the children can't use the toy as intended and complete many of the puzzle cards and other sorting challenges.The layout and graphic design of the instructions is poor, but so are most toy instructions leaflets for children. The cards could have used a better design as well, but the sort challenge is clearly illustrated. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: I didn't realize the industrial beats I loved so much were... Review: so warmly wrapped in consumerism!? Ahh, I loved this album! It's not about hating everything, as the one star rater said, it's about desiring honesty and transparency right? I sure hear the anti-america crap lyrics now, didn't hear them at all at 15, and I was a boy scout! It was all about the hard industrial beats! My (actually my sister's) cassette tape broke! Answer:
Yes

Stronger songwriting than on the follow-up, Animal Logic II. No animals were injured making the cover photograph. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Cheesy,but the Bad Cheese Overall! Review: What can I say about The Convent, well while there is some fun scenes and elements at times exspecially the cool "Kill Bill" style action scene in the beginning of the film, cool effects at times, and Adrienne Barbeau in the film. The movie is bad overall. It's cheesy,but the bad cheese. The film starts out good maybe 30 minutes into the film,but goes down slowly.The acting is overall bad, the casting for some parts is stupid, and even though I love cheesy scenes. Some of these cheesy scenes weren't good.Now, I can't complain because a friend gave this movie to me for free after he thought it was terrible and so I knew what I was getting into. If you want to watch it then I recommend renting it first.Overall, I am giving it 2 stars for some good scenes and elements plus the awesome,Adrienne Barbeau! Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Neon zombies and goth girls abound! Review: Where oh where do I start. Words escape me. I can't begin to describe just how FUN this movie is. That's right, horror can be fun. Ever wanted to see a movie that successfully pokes fun at goths, satanist and the odd cloaked gay boy in eyeliner? And did you ever wonder what zombies would look like in fleourescent lighting? Oh hunny, buy this flick, it shant disappoint you.If nothing more this movie is worth its price for the witty one liners and unique special effects. Such as "I'm a virgin, I'm saving myself for Marilyn Manson." and "My brothers going to be the antichrist? My mom's gonna be piss!"It gets the vampress.net stamp of b-horrory goodness approval. Buy it, Vampy said so. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Laughs and Shotgun Blasts. Review: This movie is everything the people who keep giving it bad reviews say it is. Its cheesey-stereo typical charactors. Its horrible acting. What these people are missing is, thats what made 80's horror such a great thing. It didn't matter if the cast were all your bestfriends. As long as you could keep people entertained it was a good horror flick. I was almost comforted by this movie. Reminded me of how much I enjoyed old Horror "B" movies. I laughed til I cried in parts and I jumped in parts and for a small film like this thats impressive. Lots of this movie reminded me of Evil Dead and a line "You mean my brother's going to be the antichrist....mom's going to be pissed" that brought back Lost Boys memories. Its definatly worth watching it'll keep you entertained the whole way through. Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: The Convent Will Leave You Praying . . . NO SEQUAL! Review: Whatever drives you away from "The Convent" -- the low-end "special effects," the horrible acting, or more troubling factors (the homophobic gay subplot), avoid this horrific piece of schlock at all costs.Certainly underdeveloped plots and characters are not unique in B-grade movies. In fact, there's something endearing about it that turns these films into the "cult favorites" mentioned in another review on this site.However, hesitate to even consider this film "B-Grade." Are there "C" and "D-Class" horror films? Apparently so. The characters in "The Convent" are such stereotype, so one-dimensional, they disappear if they turn sideways. The ghoul-affects of "vibrating" looks like a shaky-handed cameraman is at work.Poor Adrienne Barbeau. And Coolio . . . This is no "Gangsta's Paradise." By the final "plot twist", you'll find yourself praying that these actors never fall to this level again . . . and praying for absolutely NO SEQUAL! Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: The greatest horror film in recent years besides GingerSnaps Review: This film is the greatest horror film recently done besides Ginger Snaps and The Dead Hate the Living. I have never seen a horror movie as funny as this (this is way more comical than Evil Dead 2 or Return of the Living Dead). Come on, the scene with the poseur satanist? "The prince of darkness? Ahahahaha, you work at the friggin dairy queen!" "lies! lies! lies!" The goth chick Monica is definitely a hoot. Coolio's cameo was too hilarious. Nuns getting blown up! Adrienne Barbeau! Stereotypical teenagers! It gets no funnier than this! Kudos to Mike Mendez! Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: Laugh out loud! Review: I borrowed this movie from my friends that rented it because they said "I just had to see it! It was the most hilarious thing they've seen." And I agree! It was hilarious because it was sooo STUPID! Geez, where is horror going these days?! Was the director trying something new with the whole black light effect and the weird moving demons??!! This movie had a lot of funny lines and the goth girl was an excellent actress, she would be hilarious in a comedy, why she picked this stupid movie to be in I have no idea?! RENT, don't BUY this movie. You have to see it to believe how stupid it is!! P.S. The very beginning is pretty graphic for those of us who actually look up to religion. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Really strange horror movie ! Review: This is not your normal standard type of horror movie. I don't think the writer/director intended it to be either. If you want to spend a mindless break in front of your TV after a hard day's work, then this is for you. I loved the part where the two guys are discussing their virginity while being wheeled down the corridor to be sacrificed; and the weirdo guy says to the other, 'I just haven't found the right one yet'.I think reviewers on this site tend to rate the movie out of it's context instead of for what it really is, a dumb brainless horror movie which was intended to scare you a bit as well as make you laugh now and then. I like to experience those emotions after a terrible day at work in a job that I totally loathe with a passion. If you want to watch a horror movie that's a little more intellectual, then watch Bram Stoker's Dracula.....or is that a love story ??? Answer:
Yes
Is this product review positive? Title: It's The CONVENT-ional waste of potential. Review: I recommend this movie to all who wants to see what BAD movies look like. The young and obviously inexperienced cast isn't convencing at all. I do not recommend anyone to buy this DVD. Rent it and see for yourselves... Answer:
No

No
Is this product review positive? Title: Bad Flick, Bad Bad Review: This movie was bad, but I'm wondering if it was even supposed to be good. It was funny at times (ie one night stand with Joey Ramone, that made me scoff) and I was exepecting a very terrible "film", but not this bad, worse than I thought. So I have come to the conclusion that it must really be a comedy. In which case it is amusing, minus the homophobia. There are some funny targets here, cheezy wimpy satan worshipers, dumb sorority and frat boys, psuedo goths, sex crazed misogynists (come on now, if you've been to high school you know the earlier mentioned, if you've been to college you know all the rest.)So for that factor, I scoffed here and there. And really, I'm only reviewing it because someone gave it 5 stars. Where is their brain at? Obviously not in thier head. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Don't be fooled by the other reviews..... Review: I'm serious -- don't be fooled by the other reviews here that give this movie five stars (FIVE stars?!?!?! Inconceivable!) No, do not be fooled -- this movie sucks. It starts off okay, and it even builds to some modicum of suspense, but once people start turning into demons, this turkey becomes a hyper-active, superficial, shoot-em-up, utraviolent, Tarrantino wannabe and takes a nosedive straight into the ground.Please, trust me. Don't waste your time. Avoid this mess. I want the 90 minutes of my life I spent watching this pile of junk back. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: Absurd, Idiotic, and Ridiculous.... Review: Where to begin? Hmmm. The wonderful plot. Not. The great acting? Hardly. The superb special effects? Yeah, right. This piece of tripe is about as mindless a piece of garbage as you could possibly see.Adrienne Barbeau must be hard up for acting parts or they paid her a lot. As for the rest of this cast you won't see them again except maybe in the unemployment line. In short, a waste of time and film. You would have more fun in the 90 minutes of this so-called movie playing solitaire. Answer:
No

Its only for kids. Answer:
No

Is this product review positive? Title: Boring!!! Review: I purchased this book hoping to sit down and read an exciting narrative on the ATF and the early days of the agency. Boy was I mistaken. This is an extremely boring book. If you've heard one moonshine story, you've heard a million. Weems recycles the same story over and over for the reader. Very disappointing book. Answer:
No
Is this product review positive? Title: A great book... Review: I purchased this book as a gift for my wife, who enjoys making decorative cookies for friends and family. She loves it, and bakes cookies from it regularly. What more, there are a variety of cookies in the book, not 12 different versions of sugar cookies, so it will take a while to make and enjoy all of the different kinds of cookies. This book won't disappoint. Answer:
Yes

Is this product review positive? Title: Great shoe would buy again Review: I bought these shoes 3 months ago and have been very pleased with them. I am on my feet all day long and these shoes are very comfortable. I have been ask a dozen times where did I buy them, and always get told " Those are cool looking shoes" I love them I can't say enough about them. I am going to buy another pair, just as a back up pair. One thing I will say is that they do tend to get dirty easily. I just wash them in the washer, but did not dry them in the drier. I just let them set out to dry and they dry very quickly. Great shoes if you love Adidas shoes you will love them. Answer:
Yes
