1	SGT. BILKO - Funny Stuff	Compared to the shows on all the available TV channels any given afternoon or evening -- we'd rather watch funny old stuff - movies and TV shows made before all the sex and violence and low morals and values. Maybe some of the stuff is politically incorrect these days -- but funny is funny - even in black and white.	positive
0	I Hate this tub!	I picked this tub because of the sling which worked out really well, but more than once this thing has caused floods in my house because it wasn't snapped in properly. It finally got to the point where I couln't use it any more bacause it no longer snaps together. And I never even used the shrinking and expanding feature so it's not like it wore out. If you can find another tub with a sling, get that. The sling is great for a newborn. My son has been in the regular tub since about 9 months. I use a short padded stool to save my knees. He can splash all he wants.	negative
1	Totally Tubular	Harry Potter And The Chamber of Secrets is about a kid & his magical powers. This book is very interesting. I liked this book because I am into magic. The only thing I didn't like about this book is it is a fantasy book. But if you like a fantasy or magic this is a good book to read.	positive
0	Useless	I own a '91 Mazda MX-6 and bought this book to help with the minor repairs it needed, the electrical diagrams in this book are not even compairable to the wiring in the vehicle as well as the fact that the rest of the data is incorrect, I wish I'd bought a better looking paper weight.	negative
0	Nice sound and comfortable but they broke	I owned these less than 3 months, and enjoyed the sound quality, comfort and handy small size. Unfortunately, I recently found the headband broken inside my gym bag, and now they are unusable. I do not recommend these since they are much too fragile!	negative
0	useless	I bought one of these things a few years ago... and as many other reviews have noted... it does not heat air... it only makes it less cold. It is a complete waste of money. When I bought it, they advertised it as something you could heat your car with and defrost your windows with, but it is only good at one thing... barely moving cold air while heating it to just a few degrees warmer than it was originally. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY	negative
1	Highly recommend getting this!	My husband and I just purchased the matching rocker for this ottoman several weeks ago. Later we decided that we really wanted to get this ottoman to go with it. I'm so glad we did. It really makes a difference in the comfort. The padding is comfortable and the overall set is beautifully made. This did not require any assembly either, which was nice. I would highly recommend getting the ottoman to go with the glider chair, it's worth the extra money.	positive
1	Ever After review	This charming quintessential 16th century period piece showcases the talents of Drew Barrymore, Dougray Scott, and Anjelica Huston among others. If you appreciate a european influence you will enjoy this fast moving romance/adventure-drama set amid the French provincial countryside. Heartwarming scenes such as the character Maurice returning to the arms of his fellow-servant family amid the rustic french-farm countryside, or the prince rescuing a valuable painting after falling over a cliff into a river, and of course the gypsies fencing, who also subsequently are invited to the "mask", the costume ball celebrating the future nuptials of the prince. Intrigue, humor, romance, drama and adventure await anyone seeking a story although often told, but not out of date. I enjoyed it not only for these reasons, but also because it is suitable for every member of the family. Excellent introduction by french actress Jeanne Moreau.	positive
1	I was skeptical but am now a believer	I had problems with birds settling in the trees around my house and leaving their droppings on the outdoors picnic table. I placed this owl on a second floor porch and suddently no more birds and no more droppings. It actually works.	positive
0	My worst phone, ever	I hate this phone! I've had it since April and, hard-head that I am, thought it would get better, it did not!Pros-easy to transfer phonebook to other handsets.Cons-no way to turn off the ringer at the base. Each handset must be programmed to not ring but you still get the greeting blaring everywhere. I want an simple way to silence all my phones and still receive messages.It loves to "lose" the base connection in the middle of a phone call. Lovely when you've been on hold with, say an airline or credit card company for a half hour. Just queue back up!Bottom line, I hate this phone so much it is going in the trash! I'll recycle the batteries but would not pay someone to take this phone system much less donate to a charity.I've just placed an order for another brand that I've had good results with in the past. I researched more and hope they deliver.	negative
1	Shel done proud.	Heartfelt renditions of Koller Silverstein songs. Fun for any fan of either writer.	positive
1	Cute, Romantic, & Seriously Funny	Most reviewers give a good overview of the general feel of this film. I own this because I happen to think some of the lines/themes in the movie are pretty hilarious. Plus, as a fan of McDowell & Scott Thomas, it was a must-own for me. For those who are not die-hard fans of Grant or the latter mentioned, rent it first to see if it's a keeper for you. Admittedly, Grant does play the same charming cad as in most other films we've seen from him since the release of "Four Weddings"...BUT, many of the supporting actors make for uniquely witty one-liners and/or situations which are quite amusing. So, rent it first, then buy it. If you love the actors, though, you probably won't be disappointed. And, of course, you can't beat the price--though I wish there were more special features on the DVD version.	positive
0	Looks great but too much work for a cup of coffee	This is a cool looking machine and works great. It's a lot easier to grind your coffee in something else that doesn't get all wet with steam,etc. though. And the unit is too tall to fit under some counters and still be able to open the top lid to put in the beans and pour in the water. You need a good 24 inches to get this done. The daily clean up ruined me in less than a week. I sold mine used and one week old on eBay.	negative
0	This thing is a waste of your hard earned money	Ok...if you have read all the reviews on this thing and are still considering this product, then something is wrong with your head. Similar to other stories on here, I picked up the Royal 1280MX just 5 days ago. Works okay with paper. Tried the CD shredder slot- first one worked great. 2 days later tried another CD (only the second one)...it jammed, tried to auto reverse it out, then kicked itself off. Following the instructions for auto-shutdown...I left it off for 25 minutes (the rest of the night). Tried it again in the morning and the stupid thing wouldn't even power on. IT IS DEAD!! Lucky for me this happened as soon as it did...I am returning this for a full refund and buying a new shredder that works (checking reviews like this first). BUYER BEWARE!!!	negative
0	Looks nice, sounds terrible	I received this fountain as a gift. Visually, it's actually quite appealing. Unfortunatly, the sound of the pump is impossibly loud. I checked to be sure that the water was at the proper level and the pump itself correctly affixed to the bottom. Regardless, the pleasing trickle of water from the candle spouts was overwhelmed by the churning machine below. Can't recommend it.	negative
0	5 Stars if not for the Aspect Ratio Debacle	I love this series and Season 2 was amazingly well done, but I cannot purchase this product. It is just not HDTV friendly. Someone should let WB know what the future will look like. It will be, and is, HDTV. Forcing a large majority of users to zoom in and degrade the presentaion just to view it properly is silly to say the least.If WB thinks that their demographics for this product are people who don't care about widescreen and are 10 - 16 years old, then they are quite wrong.Fix the aspect ratio issue, or release a widescreen version, and I will scoop this up immediately.	negative
1	Great Start!	This is my 1st chicken soup book, and it is great! It has very good stories...some very, very sad. It gives you ways to deal with friends, and when they change, when you lose a friend, and many more things like that. I did only give it 4 stars because I think it could have been a little longer than what it is.	positive
1	I absolutely loved this book.	Guilt by Association by Susan Sloan has become one of my favorite books! Sloan's main character has many endearing qualities which make her so real and vulnerable. The twists and turns of her life lead the reader through decades of living almost ala Forest Gump. This reader experienced the pain and joy and untimate need for revenge along with the spirited Karen Kern. As if ripped from the headlines, politics and reality mix with suspense and mystery. Keeps you guessing until the end.	positive
0	Good deal	Its a good cd. It has good songs in there but the good ones are 808 and bring it all to me.	negative
1	Really well written- Some good advice, too!	Like the previous critic, I advise the ever-present grain of salt when reading anything that has yet to be proven scientifically. . . Like the wrapping of the water heater has. You WILL save energy and in turn money by doing so. So much to the point that the state of California now provides Water Heater Blankets with installation, free of charge, to anyone that wants one. Soon it will be a requirement.	positive
0	Great Chorus but prosaic performance. Pass on this one	Having sung this piece, i fully appreciate Robert Shaw's accomplishments with his magnificent chorus. He is not a particularly great conductor however, and this piece needs one. Nor is telarc's sound anything to crow about. The acoustic is too dead to do these tremendous forces justice. Remember it was composed for performance in the massive Les Invalides, not a dry concert hall. With all the fine recordings of this piece i would discourage you from wasting money on this one. If you want a modern recording in the SACD format, and are a fan of the Atlanta Sym. and Chorus, then buy Robert Spano's Telarc recording. His soloist, Frank Lopardo is as good as John Aler, the chorus is still in great hands under chorus master Mackenzie, and Spano is a much more talented conductor. I also love the Munch recording, now sounding beautiful on SACD with tenor Leopold Simoneau. No one since has ever sung the Sanctus solo as beautifully.	negative
1	A Disney Masterpiece!	Critics tick me off more and more lately. It's amazing how they never fail to hate movies the public LOVES! THis is a true Disney masterpiece! Who doesn't love watching the Wizard's Duel over and over?!!!! That was sooooo cool! This digitally restored copy is gorgeous, with GREAT extras! I LOVE extras, particularly when Disney DVD's include classic shorts like this one does! It even includes a whole episode of the Disneyland TV show! Priceless!!! This is a great DVD! Get it! Get Bedknobs and Broomsticks too! I forgot to mention in my review of that one that it has more classic Disney shorts! Keep those extras comin' Disney!	positive
1	Definately a GOOD read!	In my opinion, this really is one of his best books. It is up to par with his incarnations and Xanth series, except you don't have to buy a million books. It was worth the read, definately. It encompasses all the whole genre of scifi, both the fantasy part and the space part. You have your fantasy story in a spacial setting. No matter how hard to find it is, I would recommend this book	positive
0	Not bad, but not too great either...	I was pretty excited when this hit the shelves, but it was a real disappointment. The musical artistry itself wasn't too bad, but the grooves were nowhere near as grovy and electrifying as the group's earlier material. This could have something to do with the fact that most of the album wasn't actually remixed by members of Deee Lite. I recommend their earlier remix singles, if you can get your hands on them.	negative
0	Buy something else	This coffee pot lasted 7 months. Just slowly stopped working. Started with coffee grounds in my coffee, then not very hot. Today not working at all brewed 4 cups and died. The clock never did work properly like all the other models and I doubt I will buy another. Not sure why but the cheapest coffee pot you can buy with no frills seem to run longer than med or expensive pots. I seem to be going through coffee pots one after another cheap foreign crap.---Good luck to you finding quality.	negative
1	I love this CD!!	Hey, I thought this CD was awesome, sooo much better than Spice!! My fave song is Stop, it is just too catchy!! I LOVE SCARY'S HAIR!!	positive
1	Very good book	Very good story, but also sad when you lose something you love so much. Shows you how compassionate vets can be, as a lot of people think they are only in it for the money it brings in. I am lucky to have one that a real animal lover.	positive
0	Heaps of paper do not make a book	This is nothing more than a blind reclamation of Siborne and Mercer, It seems that Muir did not have any other sources... or neglected them on purpose. All the Anglo Saxon predudices of the last 2 centuries are blindly repeated over and over again.Muir has created a unreadable heap of paper that, if you are interested in this period, is a book you can absolutely afford to miss. Better buy the original work of Mercer and Siborne, and make your own conclusions.	negative
1	Ralph Waldo Emerson free	Ralph Waldo Emerson free for my Kindle 3G. Lots of reading, easy and free download. There are lots of other free ebooks,	positive
1	Ab Fab!	I love this concordance! I have been able to find verses in the bible with this exhaustive concordance from strong when I haven't been able to find them in a regular bible concordance. It is very frustrating when you know a verse in the bible and you forget where it was and you spend countless hours trying to find it well this concordance has helped me find those verses, and not to mention the other great features this book has!! This is a study tool that everyone who is passionate about god's word should have!!!	positive
1	A Great Sophomore Effort	After "Don't Crush That Dwarf, Hand Me The Pliers!", this is Firesign's best effort. The "Further Adventures of Nick Danger" is worth the price of the entire album. This is the troupe's signature sketch and it is done to perfection in this set. For the rest of the album, it's worth a listen but does not drive one to repeat plays.	positive
1	worth while movies	wonderful movie very authentic as for the clothing and settings, was great at keeping my attention. actors were superb! recommend it to anyone that is into period movies.	positive
0	SHAME	Sony is very well know for their high quality notebooks, nevertheless this model is a shame. Let me be very clear this model is a outrage with sony clients.* It takes forever to start.* it has more than 40 unuseful trials (Thats right 40, I am not kidding)* It does nto have bluetooth (The cheapest mobile phone in the market may have it)Premium PriceWhen you open IE (4 tabs open eachone of them is a advertisment. something like Buy Adobe, Buy smartdraw ....)SONY THIS IS MY LAPTOP NOT YOURS. THIS IS FOR MY PERSONAL USE NOT YOUR ADVERTISEMENT, UNLESS OF COURSE YOU GIVE ME IT FOR FREE. BUT I HAVE PAID ALMOST US$ 2000SONY YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED.	negative
1	You go girl.	Yes, Ann can be bitterly scathing and over the top, but there are so few voices like hers on the right. She helps balance the many vitriolic voices on the left.If you are moderate or right of center, you'll find her writing entertaining, witty, and to the point. She has a way of cutting through the haze and nailing the left.If you are left of center, Ms. Coulter will make you uncomfortable and perhaps even irrationally mad as many reviews here demonstrate. If you are a liberal then you should either avoid the book or read it with an open mind and learn what you may from it.jweaks	positive
1	A great resource	In today's society, parents complain that teachers don't use enough resource material when attempting to instruct all students in the various multiple intelligences. Gone are the days when we can simply require students to copy vocabulary from the board, and gone are the days when parents would allow their students to attend a class conducted without a textbook. This book illustrates the vocabulary, gives in depth explanations for grammar topics and exposes the student to culture as well. It also provides an excellent opportunity for students to listen and react to native speakers via audio activities. This book is a also good source for extra practice. The clothing styles are hopelessly out of date, but that doesn't matter when the main goal is speaking and writing proficiently in the target language. Our school has been using this series for quite some time, and our students average a score of 4 on the AP exams.	positive
1	Don't miss this series!!!!!	Probably the best fantasy series I've ever read (and I've read a few). The depth of the character's really draws you in, and the plot is very deep. I'd recommend this book (and the series) to anyone!	positive
1	The Film is AWESOME !	and not just because Kate is totally HOT!it's a cohesive story from start to finish.i think true die hart fans will definitely geta kick from this second film.	positive
0	Never Received It	I never received this item. The old saying is true, "if it's too good to be true it probably is." I'm highly disappointed that I never received this product. It was a waste of money and I'm thinking this seller is a scam artist. I would recommend NOT buying from them.	negative
1	Peyton Manning Fan	This Jersey was given as a gift to my son in Ohio. He was very pleased with the Jersey. He has worn it many times.	positive
1	It works!	Nothing outstanding. Let's face it, it is just a coffeemaker, but it works! Which was the problem with the old one! So far, it is reliable (I wake up to the smell of fresh-brewed coffee) and it makes a decent cup of joe. The rest is really up to me -using good, clean water, an excellent brand of coffee, replacing the charcoal filter, cleaning it regularly.	positive
1	how to become superhuman and take it to the extreme	After reading comrade Pavel's other books i jumped at the chance to read this (considering that i have the video), it was great not only did comrade pavel go into detail about the workouts, he also tells you about the origins of the kettlebell. i have been doing RKC for aboput a month and i love the raw power i now have. if anyone wnats to get into serious shape this is the book for you. do yourself a favour buy the book and video and get into the best shape ever. aspavel say's comrades who do RKC will soon find that they take things to the extreme.	positive
1	ECW! ECW!! ECW!!!	I LOVE this cd! Awesome from start to finish. This cd is structured very well with great tunes and the ECW intro song: This Is Extreme! which I have heard many times. This cd is for ECW fans! If You are an ECW fan and don't have this, get out of your cave and get this! It's worth your money! I am an ECW fan 4-Life and throughly enjoy this cd! Please pick up a copy today of the greatest wrestling promotion in the world's music! You won't be sorry!!!	positive
1	Awesome Camera!...	I just bought this camera for my husband and we both love it. We took over a hundred pictures this weekend at a family event and cannot believe the quality of the pictures. They are so crisp and clear, almost better than in person. We have been searching for a great camera at a good price and we found it with this one. We highly recommed this camera and know you will be happy with your purchase. We do recommend a larger memory stick maybe 64mb or 128mb. The one it comes with can only handle about 8-15 photos. :)	positive
1	A Book to Push you Through it All	The Runner's Book of Daily Inspiration:A Year of Motivation, Revelation, and Instruction is most likely the best investment I have ever made. Last year, I made a resoltion to myself to get in shape, eat healthy, and basically be a fit person inside and out. This is not a very easy resolution to fulfill, as I soon found out. It was my plan to run at least 3 times a week, and supplement it with another form of aerobic exercise. Very quickly, I lost my motivation, and was not living up to my expectations. I came upon this book soon afterwards, and tried to regain my motivation. After restarting my exercise program along with reading this book, I am now running every day of the week, rain or shine, hot or cold, I run through it all, all due this very book. If you buy one book in your life, buy Catcher in the Rye. But if you buy two, buy this one too!	positive
0	Makes Activex look like a 'house of cards'	After reading the cover endorsement by Microsft VP Victor Stone, my excitement soon dimmed when I studied Adam's writings. No clear picture of a recognizable architecture emerged.The book presents examples in C++ source code complete with at least two instances of potential memory leaks, while at the same time asserting this code's thread-safety! According to the bibliography Adam now works primarily with Java: at least no more memory leaks there.After reading this book I believe I now may have a much better understanding of why Microsoft may have internal problems with their ActiveX technology groups and possibly why so many of Microsoft's own COM-based applications tend to blow up so dramatically and so frequently.	negative
0	Poor quality!	Poor quality plastic and the lids don't fit on the containers, Read some reviews when they made a better quality product before it changed, that's why I bought them. Why did they change it?	negative
1	Beautiful performance and instrument, but excessive reveberations	I love Mozart's piano sonatas, fantasies and variations and have been listening them over tens of years at concerts, CDs and LPs. Brautigam's approach is different from very light plays that are chosen by most pianists. With wonderful McNulty's fortepiano, this CD set sounds amusing. The reason for I put 4 stars instead of five is excessive reverberations, which make beautiful fortepiano sounds a little messy. It sounds like listening at the middle of an empty hall instead of near the instrument. The sound quality of this CD set from BIS, however, is better than Bilson's sonata set from Hungaroton, which makes distorted sounds due to excessive high frequencies.I auditioned the CDs in a 700 sq. fts sound treated recording studio with the use of B&W; 800D speakers.	positive
0	Poor quality, many defects	Go buy some fake pearls at the local kids jewelry place. They will look every bit as good as these. VERY disappointed. I bought these for an additional birthday present for my wife and they have become the third thing I have returned to Amazon (3+ years). Horrendous quality, defects clearly visible all over the pearls, and not round either. If these are Akoya, then Akoya is selling junk these days! STAY AWAY!	negative
1	I wanted more....	I'm a history buff, and I wanted more detail, especially about how GC had evolved in the later 20th century. But otherwise I really enjoyed it.	positive
1	Unforgettable Adventure	For twelve-year-old Peter Lundstrom and his friends, life in northern Norway meant snow, lots of it, and wonderful days of sledding for miles down the mountain sled tracks. But the winter of 1940 brought more than snow--it brought Nazi soldiers searching for the gold hidden in the mountain town. Determined to keep the gold out of the hands of their enemies, the townspeople come up with a desperate plan that only the children can carry out. Will Peter and his friends have the courage to slip the gold past the Nazi sentries to safety? What will happen if they're caught?Based on true events, Snow Treasure is an unforgettable and gripping story of courage and heroism--definitely a worthwhile addition to any child's library.	positive
0	Disappointing first album : way-over-produced instrumentals	I bought this album largely out of curiosity, having read an article about Bona in Newsweek, which talked about this artist as a major new element in Jazz, today. That is still possible, as he clearly is an amazing musician/ singer. Unfortunately, I think he was had by his producers, who put him with a sugary-sweet Muzak-sounding band. This is much of the problem with what currently it calls itself "Jazz", in my opinion. TO find something oriniginal or raw is about impossible. Too bad. Better luck next time.	negative
0	DON'T DO IT!	I ordered this even though I read some of the bad reviews, and now feel like an idiot, because though I can hear everyone fine, they all tell me I sound far away and fuzzy. Money DOWN THE DRAIN.	negative
0	Sennheiser RS 130	I bought these headphones based on a CNET review and some of the reviews I read here at Amazon. For the most part these headphones received very good reviews but for my tastes there was too much hiss during quiet moments in movies or between programs.I also experienced discomfort wearing these headphones. The charging mechanism places two metal bands on the inside of the headband directly on top of your head. I could feel these metal bands pressing on my head whenever I wore the headphones.I'm returning these and trying the Sony IR MDR 4000. From what I've read, IR headphones do not produce hiss.	negative
1	Great item for the price.	I just bought this item like two weeks ago and it works great. I use it for my PS3, media player and DVR. This device supports DD and DTS, so that's all i needed it for, it gets the job down.. Great price and I dont loose any sound accidently (the product is not quarky!). I'm glad that i that the product doesnt need its own power supply (one less cable). I recommend it for anybody thats looking for something cheap and gets the job done.	positive
0	weak plot and characters	Anne Rice has a nice writing style - very readable. But this book seemed uninspired. Characters were anemic and the story - well, there really wasn't one.	negative
0	One of the worst	The author says it's Spain, Europe. I think that even him can't believe what he is writting about. The research is very poor. Spain - Europe, is nothing at all as the author says it is. I think he is more likely writting about a banana republic. One of the worst book I've ever try to read.	negative
0	a rip off	i ordered this CD almost a year ago and am still yet to recieve it. first i got an email saying it's special order so i won't get it for a month or so. a little while later the delivery estimate jumped to another month later without any email to warn me. a little while later the order was deleted and now i have no record of ever even ordering it in my account. it was cancelled without telling me and i never got a refund. don't buy this, you probably won't get it.	negative
1	I could listen to these ladies over and over and over	Such beautiful voices, such wonderful harmonies, and some truly entertaining (and sometimes humorous) songs. That's what this CD is full of. I started out with "Voices" and now have this CD as well. I recommend them both!	positive
0	Not very good sound.	I purchased this item in Dec but only recently opened the package and tried it out. It is not great, if it hadn't been so long since my purchase I would send it back. you have to almost have the mic in your mouth for it to pick up your voice. I wasted my money.	negative
1	Air continues the streak!	It is rare these days a band can continuously put out an album that can be listened to all the way through without skipping over songs. Air has accomplished this feat with Moon Safari and Talkie Walkie and now Pocket Symphony. Nothing will ever capture the gorgeous majesty of Moon Safari but Pocket Symphony is a wonderful companion piece for driving and comtemplating, or late evening relaxing. There is so much derivative music out there, treat yourself to some special sounds you just won't hear on the radio.	positive
1	Great help.	This book was a great help and will be a good reference book. I had sewed years ago and wanted to start back up but realized how much I had forgotten. This book helped so much. I am very pleased with this title and it was exactly what I needed.	positive
1	book review	This was the greatest purchase I've ever made. The book reads easy and it has a colorful cover. The font was just magnificent!	positive
1	satified	great little gadget for frothing milk for lattes. Not powerful but does the job at a great price	positive
1	The Slipper and the Rose	Finally,it's going to happen on April 25,2000. I just couldn't believe that a video of one of the best musicals ever made didn't exist. My daughter and I recorded it years ago when she was little and we have watched it over and over for years. You have to get this movie just for the songs which were nominated for the Academy Awards. This movie is destined to become an all time classic. Now, many more people will get to experience the best Cinderella story of all. It's been long overdue.	positive
1	Good Book for first ADSI programming	This book is excellent for programmer who want to admin nt server by most easy way. Step by step way is good to understand ADSI but there are some loose of base line of ADSI what it is.	positive
0	Bespoke Hairdryer	I was very disappointed in this hairdryer. I tried it out and it seemed to work fine; then when I went to use it, it wouldn't cut on. I smelled smoke and saw sparks. I just returned it and hope to get a replacement soon. Hopefully that one will work better.	negative
0	why this box set is dumb.	Here is why this box set is dumb. In a year, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I will be in theaters. In a year and a half, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II will be in theaters. In two years, both will be available on DVD/Blu Ray/digital/whatever might be out in two years. why bother with a box set for a 7 year story that only has the first 6 years? Especially as most fans have probably been buying the previous sets and or the individual movies and thus is even more stupid.	negative
1	Classic collection of movies all in one	When I was a kid, I had to wait a whole year to see these classics come onto network TV at Christmas time and I would anxiously wait to see the shows begin at their air times. Today, the media is so swamped with Christmas movies, these shows are almost buried beneath them. I don't think they're even shown on TV or cable that much anymore these days. I like that I get all the classic shows together with some bonus shows, so I can share them with my grandchildren any time I want to. The packaging is nice, as well.	positive
0	Broken in 5 months	Bought this Hoover for hardwood floors. We only use it on three smaller rugs once or twice a week. 5 months later the brush no longer rotates. I checked the belt and it is present and tight. Switch or motor is shot. Hoover does not have anyone who does warranty repairs for several hundred miles. Return for service is on my dime, that sucks!	negative
1	Fantastic!	Follow on story from Once Were Warriors. Often the sequel to a good movie, is never any good imo, however this one flows on exactly as it should. All the old characters return and the story continues without any loss of info. I loved it!Imatiently waiting to see if they ever bring out another version as they have left it open as though they could.Bring it on!!!!	positive
0	Name of the record is correct	Number One Gun named their record right on "Celebrate Mistake". This record is a mistake from the first second. Overplayed music that is for tone deaf fans of music. This band even sucks worse live.	negative
0	Unit sprays coffeegrounds into cold water reservoir	Unit sprays coffee grounds into cold water reservoir. I called manufacturer and they said this is a common problem. They told me to send it back to amazon. I advised that amazon expected the manufacturer to fix defective units. She advised me to take it back to the place I purchased it. An empasse....	negative
0	a piece of scrap crap	I have FINALLY thrown out my blender. I absolutely despise this piece of scrap crap. Even blending simple things like strawberries, yogurt and milk does not work. Forget about hummus or guac. The dry ingredients get caught in the blades, requiring a wooden spoon or metal spooning out and then replace the top, hit blend (which isn't an option actually). Even then, with a wet ingredient this piece of crap is totally unreliable and a waste of time. If I were dating it I would break up with it. Therefore, you are dead to me blender and forget a rekindling. I just put you out in the trash so Im not tempted to fall for your good looks again.I have a hand blender or a mini chopper that I will stick to and spend prob less time rationing out small portions just to get the job done.Cuisinart - Im so over you!!!	negative

1	Great filming, great acting, fascinating story.	This film took me back to Russia. The scenery and characters played true to life. The ugly rows upon rows of apartments, the village homes, the Moscow winter slush, and the beautiful white Russian snow, which seems to hide everything that is wrong and ugly.I fell in love with Yekaterina Rednikova. She reminded me of some of the wonderful interpreters I had on my many trips to Moscow and the interior. Daniel Craig was lifelike. Just like you or me. (No Schwarzenegger, Pierce Brosnan, or Bruce Willis here). Gabriel Macht was an irritant. A necessary fool.The story, based on the book by Robert Harris, played up to the world's fascination with Stalin, Hitler and the like. Okay, but not as good as Snow Wolf by Glenn Meade. The movie played up to my fascination with Russia and its people. I was not disappointed.	positive
1	Buy this movie!	Every American, including the politicians, should see this film! The film contains devastating facts about the Bush Regime and their war on Iraq, and backs up the information with credible sources. If there are reviews that criticize this film, ignore them. The authors have to be out of touch with reality. You must see this film, and decide for yourself. And show it to everyone you know. I highly recommend it.	positive
0	This may be an improvement over what I bought 20 years ago	As at least one reviewer pointed out, the version of this that I bought was disappointing. A lot of the songs were watered down and cut off. Who I wonder was the brain dead moron that cut the intro to Cinderella off? As was pointed out, Strange Way also endured this fate and others as well.I see that in the songlist here that it says album version by all songs. If that is the case, then I didnt wait long enough to buy this. If this is a true compilation of the songs as they appeared on the albums, I may be inclined to buy it again.	negative

1	two underappreciated albums--- CD unfortunately out of print :(	Although a lot of people are so critical of these albums, I quite enjoy them (although I do think M.I.U. is better overall than Light Album). I think M.I.U. album has a lot of beautiful harmonies and instrumentation, which isn't unusual for a Beach Boys record. "Match Point Of Our Love" features what I consider to be Brian's best late-'70s lead vocal. Light Album has several good songs too, though most of them are slow. Although the disco version of "Here Comes The Night" might have appalled a lot of Beach Boys fans when it first came out (and may continue to do so), I actually think it's sort of cool, even though it is VERY long. Like most of the group's post-'60s albums, these may not rank among their VERY best albums, but I think they deserve more appreciation than they seem to get. (Edit, made on 7-20-12): Unfortunately, this CD is now out of print and tends to go for EXTREMELY high prices, at least at Amazon.	positive
1	Easiest sauces to cook delicious Indian curries	I love these versatile sauces to make delicious rajma(kidney beans curry) or chole(chickpeas curry) with curry sauce, vegitable korma with coconut cashew sauce, and Alu Mutter paneer (Potato and Peas/paneer curry). These are so easy and convenient to cook tasty curries with your choice of vegetables, lentils or meat.	positive

0	Expected More	This book was okay, but it's NOT great writing as the reviews on the first few pages suggest -- it is, very simply, brain candy. Take it to the beach. If you want a Southern, teenage voice in a work that is truly LITERATURE, read Sheri Joseph's "Bear Me Safely Over" or Heather Sellers' "Georgia Under Water." It's a shame this book has gotten the readership it has, really, when there are so many better, more complex books out there on the same subject.	negative
1	Jane Austen: A Life	I must admit that biographies can sometimes put me to sleep. (That undoubtedly says more about me than it does about any biography.) But I found this book to be highly readable--even entertaining--and thought it provided valuable background information about Jane Austen, one of my favorite authors. I'm not a scholar (obviously!), so I can't debate any of the biographer's interpretations. Those questions are left to better minds. I just know that I would recommend this book to anyone who likes Jane Austen and wants to begin learning more about her life.	positive

1	Fab!	Flying Colours is an absolutly fab book- particually as it is written by one of Bader's closest of kin- his brother in law, Wing Commander P.B Laddie Lucas (who was married to Bader's wife's (Thelma) sister, Jill). Laddie had only known Bader from 1946, but they became the best of friends, and were very close from then on. This is a lovley, well written book, and well worth a read- and is also very informative on the perspectives of Fighter Command in WWII, and provides more in-depth info on Bader, which hasn't been revealed before!Go out and read it!	positive

1	Great toy and very eay to assemble	This pirate ship was sooo easy to put together. It took my husband all of 10 minutes to assemble. It's very durable. I see many years with this toy and the price was right. We searched 4 different toy r us's and finally found it. We only paid 69.99. I say "only" because after going to a different toy r us and them not carrying the ship I started to look in line and I saw it for as much as $499.99. It's really riduculous how some companies sell the product for so much more than it's worth. I've been doing my research and every playhouse sells for over $135.00. I also saw that Walmart is selling it for a little less. Worth every panny.	positive
0	it broke when we took it out of the box	We were excited about this product , and had read many positive reviews about its performance. But we never got a chance to see if it worked because when we took it out of the box to check it out, we put it into its pocket clip cover,and when we tried to take it back out, the head came off, exposing the wires, and all. It just broke into 2 pieces! I am returning it, and unable to decide if I want to replace it with the same thing, or try something totally different. What a hassle!	negative
0	Needs improvement	Although Norton Internet Security provides decent coverage of virus protection, firewall, etc. it has one major flaw. It decreases performance of your pc significantly. It is a very fat client and uses a lot of resources. So if you have an older machine to begin with, it will bring it to a screeching halt. Even if you meet or exceed the minimum requirements. It also seems to take control over the whole machine. For example, if you want to disable a feature, like firewall protection, it keeps prompting you that you are in grave danger and that it needs to be fixed. Quite annoying.The only reason I gave it more than 1 star is that it seems to do its job overall and the user interface is fairly intuitive and professional looking. Otherwise, two thumbs down.I have switched to AVG free antivirus. There is also a version you can pay for which gives support and firewall protection. This is a much lighter client software.	negative

1	Useful Product	Although this method of carrying your baby may not be for everyone, my son and I have enjoyed this sling since he came home from the hospital three months ago.More versitile than a traditional front carrier, this worked for my preemie from day one! He enjoys being both cuddled to me while laying down or facing forward in the sling. You do have to watch for back and neck strain and you may have trouble adjusting it if you are short and slight of build.Friends who have this sling have used it for their toddlers as well as infants.Overall, this is a very good value for not alot of money.	positive
1	Sweet & Funny	By far this is not the best movie ever made but the storyline is sweet and it does evoke smiles and chuckles. Does a great job demonstrating how jealousy and competition can interrupt our lives.	positive

1	Literate, scholarly and fun stories...	I've only read THE FANTASY WRITER'S ASSISTANT from this collection so far, but it was a weird, twisted and fun take on plain old heroic fantasy told in a literate way. That's what I liked most-- Ford's refusal to write stuffy fiction despite his intellectual ability to do so. Add to that an approach to the idea that involves writers themselves, and you've got potential for a cult book here. I've bought all five of his books that I could find, and have plans to read them.	positive

SGT. BILKO - Funny Stuff

Compared to the shows on all the available TV channels any given afternoon or evening -- we'd rather watch funny old stuff - movies and TV shows made before all the sex and violence and low morals and values. Maybe some of the stuff is politically incorrect these days -- but funny is funny - even in black and white.

I Hate this tub!

I picked this tub because of the sling which worked out really well, but more than once this thing has caused floods in my house because it wasn't snapped in properly. It finally got to the point where I couln't use it any more bacause it no longer snaps together. And I never even used the shrinking and expanding feature so it's not like it wore out. If you can find another tub with a sling, get that. The sling is great for a newborn. My son has been in the regular tub since about 9 months. I use a short padded stool to save my knees. He can splash all he wants.

Totally Tubular

Harry Potter And The Chamber of Secrets is about a kid & his magical powers. This book is very interesting. I liked this book because I am into magic. The only thing I didn't like about this book is it is a fantasy book. But if you like a fantasy or magic this is a good book to read.

useless

I bought one of these things a few years ago... and as many other reviews have noted... it does not heat air... it only makes it less cold. It is a complete waste of money. When I bought it, they advertised it as something you could heat your car with and defrost your windows with, but it is only good at one thing... barely moving cold air while heating it to just a few degrees warmer than it was originally. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY

Highly recommend getting this!

My husband and I just purchased the matching rocker for this ottoman several weeks ago. Later we decided that we really wanted to get this ottoman to go with it. I'm so glad we did. It really makes a difference in the comfort. The padding is comfortable and the overall set is beautifully made. This did not require any assembly either, which was nice. I would highly recommend getting the ottoman to go with the glider chair, it's worth the extra money.

Ever After review

This charming quintessential 16th century period piece showcases the talents of Drew Barrymore, Dougray Scott, and Anjelica Huston among others. If you appreciate a european influence you will enjoy this fast moving romance/adventure-drama set amid the French provincial countryside. Heartwarming scenes such as the character Maurice returning to the arms of his fellow-servant family amid the rustic french-farm countryside, or the prince rescuing a valuable painting after falling over a cliff into a river, and of course the gypsies fencing, who also subsequently are invited to the "mask", the costume ball celebrating the future nuptials of the prince. Intrigue, humor, romance, drama and adventure await anyone seeking a story although often told, but not out of date. I enjoyed it not only for these reasons, but also because it is suitable for every member of the family. Excellent introduction by french actress Jeanne Moreau.

My worst phone, ever

I hate this phone! I've had it since April and, hard-head that I am, thought it would get better, it did not!Pros-easy to transfer phonebook to other handsets.Cons-no way to turn off the ringer at the base. Each handset must be programmed to not ring but you still get the greeting blaring everywhere. I want an simple way to silence all my phones and still receive messages.It loves to "lose" the base connection in the middle of a phone call. Lovely when you've been on hold with, say an airline or credit card company for a half hour. Just queue back up!Bottom line, I hate this phone so much it is going in the trash! I'll recycle the batteries but would not pay someone to take this phone system much less donate to a charity.I've just placed an order for another brand that I've had good results with in the past. I researched more and hope they deliver.

Cute, Romantic, & Seriously Funny

Most reviewers give a good overview of the general feel of this film. I own this because I happen to think some of the lines/themes in the movie are pretty hilarious. Plus, as a fan of McDowell & Scott Thomas, it was a must-own for me. For those who are not die-hard fans of Grant or the latter mentioned, rent it first to see if it's a keeper for you. Admittedly, Grant does play the same charming cad as in most other films we've seen from him since the release of "Four Weddings"...BUT, many of the supporting actors make for uniquely witty one-liners and/or situations which are quite amusing. So, rent it first, then buy it. If you love the actors, though, you probably won't be disappointed. And, of course, you can't beat the price--though I wish there were more special features on the DVD version.

Looks great but too much work for a cup of coffee

This is a cool looking machine and works great. It's a lot easier to grind your coffee in something else that doesn't get all wet with steam,etc. though. And the unit is too tall to fit under some counters and still be able to open the top lid to put in the beans and pour in the water. You need a good 24 inches to get this done. The daily clean up ruined me in less than a week. I sold mine used and one week old on eBay.

This thing is a waste of your hard earned money

Ok...if you have read all the reviews on this thing and are still considering this product, then something is wrong with your head. Similar to other stories on here, I picked up the Royal 1280MX just 5 days ago. Works okay with paper. Tried the CD shredder slot- first one worked great. 2 days later tried another CD (only the second one)...it jammed, tried to auto reverse it out, then kicked itself off. Following the instructions for auto-shutdown...I left it off for 25 minutes (the rest of the night). Tried it again in the morning and the stupid thing wouldn't even power on. IT IS DEAD!! Lucky for me this happened as soon as it did...I am returning this for a full refund and buying a new shredder that works (checking reviews like this first). BUYER BEWARE!!!

Looks nice, sounds terrible

I received this fountain as a gift. Visually, it's actually quite appealing. Unfortunatly, the sound of the pump is impossibly loud. I checked to be sure that the water was at the proper level and the pump itself correctly affixed to the bottom. Regardless, the pleasing trickle of water from the candle spouts was overwhelmed by the churning machine below. Can't recommend it.

5 Stars if not for the Aspect Ratio Debacle

I love this series and Season 2 was amazingly well done, but I cannot purchase this product. It is just not HDTV friendly. Someone should let WB know what the future will look like. It will be, and is, HDTV. Forcing a large majority of users to zoom in and degrade the presentaion just to view it properly is silly to say the least.If WB thinks that their demographics for this product are people who don't care about widescreen and are 10 - 16 years old, then they are quite wrong.Fix the aspect ratio issue, or release a widescreen version, and I will scoop this up immediately.

Great Start!

This is my 1st chicken soup book, and it is great! It has very good stories...some very, very sad. It gives you ways to deal with friends, and when they change, when you lose a friend, and many more things like that. I did only give it 4 stars because I think it could have been a little longer than what it is.

I absolutely loved this book.

Guilt by Association by Susan Sloan has become one of my favorite books! Sloan's main character has many endearing qualities which make her so real and vulnerable. The twists and turns of her life lead the reader through decades of living almost ala Forest Gump. This reader experienced the pain and joy and untimate need for revenge along with the spirited Karen Kern. As if ripped from the headlines, politics and reality mix with suspense and mystery. Keeps you guessing until the end.

Really well written- Some good advice, too!

Like the previous critic, I advise the ever-present grain of salt when reading anything that has yet to be proven scientifically. . . Like the wrapping of the water heater has. You WILL save energy and in turn money by doing so. So much to the point that the state of California now provides Water Heater Blankets with installation, free of charge, to anyone that wants one. Soon it will be a requirement.

Great Chorus but prosaic performance. Pass on this one

Having sung this piece, i fully appreciate Robert Shaw's accomplishments with his magnificent chorus. He is not a particularly great conductor however, and this piece needs one. Nor is telarc's sound anything to crow about. The acoustic is too dead to do these tremendous forces justice. Remember it was composed for performance in the massive Les Invalides, not a dry concert hall. With all the fine recordings of this piece i would discourage you from wasting money on this one. If you want a modern recording in the SACD format, and are a fan of the Atlanta Sym. and Chorus, then buy Robert Spano's Telarc recording. His soloist, Frank Lopardo is as good as John Aler, the chorus is still in great hands under chorus master Mackenzie, and Spano is a much more talented conductor. I also love the Munch recording, now sounding beautiful on SACD with tenor Leopold Simoneau. No one since has ever sung the Sanctus solo as beautifully.

Definately a GOOD read!

In my opinion, this really is one of his best books. It is up to par with his incarnations and Xanth series, except you don't have to buy a million books. It was worth the read, definately. It encompasses all the whole genre of scifi, both the fantasy part and the space part. You have your fantasy story in a spacial setting. No matter how hard to find it is, I would recommend this book

Not bad, but not too great either...

I was pretty excited when this hit the shelves, but it was a real disappointment. The musical artistry itself wasn't too bad, but the grooves were nowhere near as grovy and electrifying as the group's earlier material. This could have something to do with the fact that most of the album wasn't actually remixed by members of Deee Lite. I recommend their earlier remix singles, if you can get your hands on them.

This coffee pot lasted 7 months. Just slowly stopped working. Started with coffee grounds in my coffee, then not very hot. Today not working at all brewed 4 cups and died. The clock never did work properly like all the other models and I doubt I will buy another. Not sure why but the cheapest coffee pot you can buy with no frills seem to run longer than med or expensive pots. I seem to be going through coffee pots one after another cheap foreign crap.---Good luck to you finding quality.

Heaps of paper do not make a book

This is nothing more than a blind reclamation of Siborne and Mercer, It seems that Muir did not have any other sources... or neglected them on purpose. All the Anglo Saxon predudices of the last 2 centuries are blindly repeated over and over again.Muir has created a unreadable heap of paper that, if you are interested in this period, is a book you can absolutely afford to miss. Better buy the original work of Mercer and Siborne, and make your own conclusions.

After "Don't Crush That Dwarf, Hand Me The Pliers!", this is Firesign's best effort. The "Further Adventures of Nick Danger" is worth the price of the entire album.

You go girl.

Yes, Ann can be bitterly scathing and over the top, but there are so few voices like hers on the right. She helps balance the many vitriolic voices on the left.If you are moderate or right of center, you'll find her writing entertaining, witty, and to the point. She has a way of cutting through the haze and nailing the left.If you are left of center, Ms. Coulter will make you uncomfortable and perhaps even irrationally mad as many reviews here demonstrate. If you are a liberal then you should either avoid the book or read it with an open mind and learn what you may from it.jweaks

A great resource

In today's society, parents complain that teachers don't use enough resource material when attempting to instruct all students in the various multiple intelligences. Gone are the days when we can simply require students to copy vocabulary from the board, and gone are the days when parents would allow their students to attend a class conducted without a textbook. This book illustrates the vocabulary, gives in depth explanations for grammar topics and exposes the student to culture as well. It also provides an excellent opportunity for students to listen and react to native speakers via audio activities. This book is a also good source for extra practice. The clothing styles are hopelessly out of date, but that doesn't matter when the main goal is speaking and writing proficiently in the target language. Our school has been using this series for quite some time, and our students average a score of 4 on the AP exams.

Nothing outstanding. Let's face it, it is just a coffeemaker, but it works! Which was the problem with the old one!

A Book to Push you Through it All

The Runner's Book of Daily Inspiration:A Year of Motivation, Revelation, and Instruction is most likely the best investment I have ever made. Last year, I made a resoltion to myself to get in shape, eat healthy, and basically be a fit person inside and out. This is not a very easy resolution to fulfill, as I soon found out. It was my plan to run at least 3 times a week, and supplement it with another form of aerobic exercise. Very quickly, I lost my motivation, and was not living up to my expectations. I came upon this book soon afterwards, and tried to regain my motivation. After restarting my exercise program along with reading this book, I am now running every day of the week, rain or shine, hot or cold, I run through it all, all due this very book. If you buy one book in your life, buy Catcher in the Rye. But if you buy two, buy this one too!

Makes Activex look like a 'house of cards'

After reading the cover endorsement by Microsft VP Victor Stone, my excitement soon dimmed when I studied Adam's writings. No clear picture of a recognizable architecture emerged.The book presents examples in C++ source code complete with at least two instances of potential memory leaks, while at the same time asserting this code's thread-safety! According to the bibliography Adam now works primarily with Java: at least no more memory leaks there.After reading this book I believe I now may have a much better understanding of why Microsoft may have internal problems with their ActiveX technology groups and possibly why so many of Microsoft's own COM-based applications tend to blow up so dramatically and so frequently.

Poor quality!

Poor quality plastic and the lids don't fit on the containers, Read some reviews when they made a better quality product before it changed, that's why I bought them. Why did they change it?

Beautiful performance and instrument, but excessive reveberations

I love Mozart's piano sonatas, fantasies and variations and have been listening them over tens of years at concerts, CDs and LPs. Brautigam's approach is different from very light plays that are chosen by most pianists. With wonderful McNulty's fortepiano, this CD set sounds amusing. The reason for I put 4 stars instead of five is excessive reverberations, which make beautiful fortepiano sounds a little messy. It sounds like listening at the middle of an empty hall instead of near the instrument. The sound quality of this CD set from BIS, however, is better than Bilson's sonata set from Hungaroton, which makes distorted sounds due to excessive high frequencies.I auditioned the CDs in a 700 sq. fts sound treated recording studio with the use of B&W; 800D speakers.

Poor quality, many defects

Go buy some fake pearls at the local kids jewelry place. They will look every bit as good as these. VERY disappointed. I bought these for an additional birthday present for my wife and they have become the third thing I have returned to Amazon (3+ years). Horrendous quality, defects clearly visible all over the pearls, and not round either. If these are Akoya, then Akoya is selling junk these days! STAY AWAY!

Unforgettable Adventure

For twelve-year-old Peter Lundstrom and his friends, life in northern Norway meant snow, lots of it, and wonderful days of sledding for miles down the mountain sled tracks. But the winter of 1940 brought more than snow--it brought Nazi soldiers searching for the gold hidden in the mountain town. Determined to keep the gold out of the hands of their enemies, the townspeople come up with a desperate plan that only the children can carry out. Will Peter and his friends have the courage to slip the gold past the Nazi sentries to safety? What will happen if they're caught?Based on true events, Snow Treasure is an unforgettable and gripping story of courage and heroism--definitely a worthwhile addition to any child's library.

Disappointing first album : way-over-produced instrumentals

I bought this album largely out of curiosity, having read an article about Bona in Newsweek, which talked about this artist as a major new element in Jazz, today. That is still possible, as he clearly is an amazing musician/ singer. Unfortunately, I think he was had by his producers, who put him with a sugary-sweet Muzak-sounding band. This is much of the problem with what currently it calls itself "Jazz", in my opinion. TO find something oriniginal or raw is about impossible. Too bad. Better luck next time.

Sennheiser RS 130

I bought these headphones based on a CNET review and some of the reviews I read here at Amazon. For the most part these headphones received very good reviews but for my tastes there was too much hiss during quiet moments in movies or between programs.I also experienced discomfort wearing these headphones. The charging mechanism places two metal bands on the inside of the headband directly on top of your head. I could feel these metal bands pressing on my head whenever I wore the headphones.I'm returning these and trying the Sony IR MDR 4000. From what I've read, IR headphones do not produce hiss.

Great item for the price.

I just bought this item like two weeks ago and it works great. I use it for my PS3, media player and DVR. This device supports DD and DTS, so that's all i needed it for, it gets the job down.. Great price and I dont loose any sound accidently (the product is not quarky!). I'm glad that i that the product doesnt need its own power supply (one less cable). I recommend it for anybody thats looking for something cheap and gets the job done.

The author says it's Spain, Europe. I think that even him can't believe what he is writting about. The research is very poor. Spain - Europe, is nothing at all as the author says it is. I think he is more likely writting about a banana republic. One of the worst book I've ever try to read.

I purchased this item in Dec but only recently opened the package and tried it out. It is not great, if it hadn't been so long since my purchase I would send it back. you have to almost have the mic in your mouth for it to pick up your voice. I wasted my money.

Air continues the streak!

It is rare these days a band can continuously put out an album that can be listened to all the way through without skipping over songs. Air has accomplished this feat with Moon Safari and Talkie Walkie and now Pocket Symphony. Nothing will ever capture the gorgeous majesty of Moon Safari but Pocket Symphony is a wonderful companion piece for driving and comtemplating, or late evening relaxing. There is so much derivative music out there, treat yourself to some special sounds you just won't hear on the radio.

Finally,it's going to happen on April 25,2000. I just couldn't believe that a video of one of the best musicals ever made didn't exist. My daughter and I recorded it years ago when she was little and we have watched it over and over for years. You have to get this movie just for the songs which were nominated for the Academy Awards. This movie is destined to become an all time classic. Now, many more people will get to experience the best Cinderella story of all. It's been long overdue.

why this box set is dumb.

Here is why this box set is dumb. In a year, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I will be in theaters. In a year and a half, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II will be in theaters. In two years, both will be available on DVD/Blu Ray/digital/whatever might be out in two years. why bother with a box set for a 7 year story that only has the first 6 years? Especially as most fans have probably been buying the previous sets and or the individual movies and thus is even more stupid.

Classic collection of movies all in one

When I was a kid, I had to wait a whole year to see these classics come onto network TV at Christmas time and I would anxiously wait to see the shows begin at their air times. Today, the media is so swamped with Christmas movies, these shows are almost buried beneath them. I don't think they're even shown on TV or cable that much anymore these days. I like that I get all the classic shows together with some bonus shows, so I can share them with my grandchildren any time I want to. The packaging is nice, as well.

Bought this Hoover for hardwood floors. We only use it on three smaller rugs once or twice a week. 5 months later the brush no longer rotates. I checked the belt and it is present and tight. Switch or motor is shot. Hoover does not have anyone who does warranty repairs for several hundred miles. Return for service is on my dime, that sucks!

a piece of scrap crap

I have FINALLY thrown out my blender. I absolutely despise this piece of scrap crap. Even blending simple things like strawberries, yogurt and milk does not work. Forget about hummus or guac. The dry ingredients get caught in the blades, requiring a wooden spoon or metal spooning out and then replace the top, hit blend (which isn't an option actually). Even then, with a wet ingredient this piece of crap is totally unreliable and a waste of time. If I were dating it I would break up with it. Therefore, you are dead to me blender and forget a rekindling. I just put you out in the trash so Im not tempted to fall for your good looks again.I have a hand blender or a mini chopper that I will stick to and spend prob less time rationing out small portions just to get the job done.Cuisinart - Im so over you!!!

Great filming, great acting, fascinating story.

This film took me back to Russia. The scenery and characters played true to life. The ugly rows upon rows of apartments, the village homes, the Moscow winter slush, and the beautiful white Russian snow, which seems to hide everything that is wrong and ugly.I fell in love with Yekaterina Rednikova. She reminded me of some of the wonderful interpreters I had on my many trips to Moscow and the interior. Daniel Craig was lifelike. Just like you or me. (No Schwarzenegger, Pierce Brosnan, or Bruce Willis here). Gabriel Macht was an irritant. A necessary fool.The story, based on the book by Robert Harris, played up to the world's fascination with Stalin, Hitler and the like. Okay, but not as good as Snow Wolf by Glenn Meade. The movie played up to my fascination with Russia and its people. I was not disappointed.

Buy this movie!

Every American, including the politicians, should see this film! The film contains devastating facts about the Bush Regime and their war on Iraq, and backs up the information with credible sources. If there are reviews that criticize this film, ignore them. The authors have to be out of touch with reality. You must see this film, and decide for yourself. And show it to everyone you know. I highly recommend it.

This may be an improvement over what I bought 20 years ago

As at least one reviewer pointed out, the version of this that I bought was disappointing. A lot of the songs were watered down and cut off. Who I wonder was the brain dead moron that cut the intro to Cinderella off? As was pointed out, Strange Way also endured this fate and others as well.I see that in the songlist here that it says album version by all songs. If that is the case, then I didnt wait long enough to buy this. If this is a true compilation of the songs as they appeared on the albums, I may be inclined to buy it again.

two underappreciated albums--- CD unfortunately out of print :(

Although a lot of people are so critical of these albums, I quite enjoy them (although I do think M.I.U. is better overall than Light Album). I think M.I.U. album has a lot of beautiful harmonies and instrumentation, which isn't unusual for a Beach Boys record. "Match Point Of Our Love" features what I consider to be Brian's best late-'70s lead vocal. Light Album has several good songs too, though most of them are slow. Although the disco version of "Here Comes The Night" might have appalled a lot of Beach Boys fans when it first came out (and may continue to do so), I actually think it's sort of cool, even though it is VERY long. Like most of the group's post-'60s albums, these may not rank among their VERY best albums, but I think they deserve more appreciation than they seem to get. (Edit, made on 7-20-12): Unfortunately, this CD is now out of print and tends to go for EXTREMELY high prices, at least at Amazon.

I am deployed to Afghanistan right now and got this to have in my tent. I love it. Pretty much only use it to boil water and it does it in only a minute or 2. I have yet to use it to boil soups from a can or pasta, but I know it will work great for that as well. Plenty of room capacity for large amounts of water and whatever else you want to boil in it. I paid a great price of $11 for it.

Expected More

This book was okay, but it's NOT great writing as the reviews on the first few pages suggest -- it is, very simply, brain candy. Take it to the beach. If you want a Southern, teenage voice in a work that is truly LITERATURE, read Sheri Joseph's "Bear Me Safely Over" or Heather Sellers' "Georgia Under Water." It's a shame this book has gotten the readership it has, really, when there are so many better, more complex books out there on the same subject.

Jane Austen: A Life

I must admit that biographies can sometimes put me to sleep. (That undoubtedly says more about me than it does about any biography.) But I found this book to be highly readable--even entertaining--and thought it provided valuable background information about Jane Austen, one of my favorite authors. I'm not a scholar (obviously!), so I can't debate any of the biographer's interpretations. Those questions are left to better minds. I just know that I would recommend this book to anyone who likes Jane Austen and wants to begin learning more about her life.

Fab!

Flying Colours is an absolutly fab book- particually as it is written by one of Bader's closest of kin- his brother in law, Wing Commander P.B Laddie Lucas (who was married to Bader's wife's (Thelma) sister, Jill). Laddie had only known Bader from 1946, but they became the best of friends, and were very close from then on. This is a lovley, well written book, and well worth a read- and is also very informative on the perspectives of Fighter Command in WWII, and provides more in-depth info on Bader, which hasn't been revealed before!Go out and read it!

Great toy and very eay to assemble

This pirate ship was sooo easy to put together. It took my husband all of 10 minutes to assemble. It's very durable. I see many years with this toy and the price was right. We searched 4 different toy r us's and finally found it. We only paid 69.99. I say "only" because after going to a different toy r us and them not carrying the ship I started to look in line and I saw it for as much as $499.99. It's really riduculous how some companies sell the product for so much more than it's worth. I've been doing my research and every playhouse sells for over $135.00. I also saw that Walmart is selling it for a little less. Worth every panny.

We were excited about this product , and had read many positive reviews about its performance. But we never got a chance to see if it worked because when we took it out of the box to check it out, we put it into its pocket clip cover,and when we tried to take it back out, the head came off, exposing the wires, and all. It just broke into 2 pieces! I am returning it, and unable to decide if I want to replace it with the same thing, or try something totally different. What a hassle!

Needs improvement

Although Norton Internet Security provides decent coverage of virus protection, firewall, etc. it has one major flaw. It decreases performance of your pc significantly. It is a very fat client and uses a lot of resources. So if you have an older machine to begin with, it will bring it to a screeching halt. Even if you meet or exceed the minimum requirements. It also seems to take control over the whole machine. For example, if you want to disable a feature, like firewall protection, it keeps prompting you that you are in grave danger and that it needs to be fixed. Quite annoying.The only reason I gave it more than 1 star is that it seems to do its job overall and the user interface is fairly intuitive and professional looking. Otherwise, two thumbs down.I have switched to AVG free antivirus. There is also a version you can pay for which gives support and firewall protection. This is a much lighter client software.

You do have to watch for back and neck strain and you may have trouble adjusting it if you are short and slight of build.Friends who have this sling have used it for their toddlers as well as infants.Overall, this is a very good value for not alot of money.

Literate, scholarly and fun stories...

I've only read THE FANTASY WRITER'S ASSISTANT from this collection so far, but it was a weird, twisted and fun take on plain old heroic fantasy told in a literate way. That's what I liked most-- Ford's refusal to write stuffy fiction despite his intellectual ability to do so. Add to that an approach to the idea that involves writers themselves, and you've got potential for a cult book here. I've bought all five of his books that I could find, and have plans to read them.
