0	Ehhh, pretty unimaginative	I am a very good cook, but I have been stuck when trying to create tasty meals for my little monkey. I bought this book anticipating great ideas and tasty recipes. For one thing, the recipes are very boring and not hard to figure out for yourself, without a cookbook telling you; for instance fruit skewers, rolled up PBnJ.A couple of the recipes peaked my interest, the vegetable chips and veggie fritters...the recipes were horrible. They didn't come out the way the description explained they would. Everything I tried to make that was out of the ordinary turned out poorly. I assume these were not tested recipes.	negative
0	nothing to get excited about.	Everybody is praising this band for being one of the best out there. But my question is why? If the members of this band were not formerly from very successful bands, I can guarantee you they would not get all of the love they are receiving. This CD is boring, choppy, and unoriginal. It is better than a small quantity of its competition, but lacks in interest and creavtity.	negative
1	Good	"Fahrenheit 451" is set in a time where reading books is strictly forbidden. In this world, instead of putting out fires and keeping people safe, firefighters burn entire houses containing books, and occasionally even people. One of these firefighters, Guy Montag, has doubts about the whole situation, and those doubts are strengthened when he meets a freethinking girl by the name of Clarisse McClellan. The major themes in this book include the value of intelligence and human interaction. I would suggest everyone read this book at least once, to help understand why it is important to attain knowledge and break free from ignorance. I overall liked this book, and would give it a 4/5	positive
0	Don't buy this product	I was new to online shopping when I purchased this product. Now I know to read the reviews. This can opener is the worse I have ever had. It worked for 2 weeks and then the magnet that holds the can lid broke off and I had to glued it back. Now every can light or heavy, small or medium slips off the can when trying to open it. It will only make a hole a couple centimeters at a time. It takes me so long to get it opened enough for me to pry the rest that my arms get tired holding up the can. By the time I am done there are shreds of paper and metal all over and in the can. Please save your money, I am on my way to buy another can opener right now. I might pick up a hand held just in case this happens again.	negative
1	A Big Fan of the Talented Ms. Harris	As a huge Sookie fan, I was pleased to find I adore Roe Teagarten just as much! The shy librarian is quite the sleuth! I can't wait to read more!	positive
0	I'm confused	I think this excerpt says it all:"Consider Brandon and the Bipolar Bear: A Story for Children With Bipolar Disorder. It tells the story of a day in the life of Brandon, a young boy who is put to bed but then asks for a glass of water. He feels somewhat frightened and becomes tearful when left alone to fall asleep. Upon awakening, Brandon has a temper tantrum because he doesn't want to get out of bed. During the tantrum he tears off the arm of his beloved teddy bear. He is crushed by his destruction of his teddy bear but is greatly relieved when his mother offers to fix its arm. He becomes excited and bounces up and down on his bed. He goes to see Dr. Samuel, who tells him he has bipolar disorder. None of Brandon's behaviors, taken alone or even together, qualify as symptoms of bipolar disorder. Dr. Samuel medicates him anyway."And that was the opinion of a psychiatrist:[...]	negative
0	Terrible...just Horror...	to save your soul DO NOT BUY THIS ALBUM! i can see it now...metallica is just lica no metal left i can say cliff burton in his heaven is probably trying to plug his poor ears to kill this terrible, disgusting, horrible music thats called "Metallica" its sad to see a band that was once a "Thrash" metal band now just sell-out lying sons of b*tches there is no hope left for metallica move onto a better band like slayer or antrhax or maybe follow ex-metallica member Dave Mustaines Megadeath whatever you do just dont buy this horrible album...	negative

0	Good idea ... just doesn't receive atomic time easily	I bought two of these and they both have an extremely hard time receiving an atomic time signal from the clock at Boulder Colorado. They are lucky to update their time once a week. I have 6 atomic clocks manufactured by another company throughout my house and they all work fine. I would not recommend purchase.	negative
0	Second dud	I have been using the airbed for friends and family when they come to visit. I mistakenly thought that because this bed was larger than the original twin Coleman airbed that I bought, it would last longer. It did not. After a couple of uses, my friends complained that the bed slowly deflated during the night. It is pretty much useless now.	negative
0	Yet another false alarm review	So, here I am at 03:34 AM writing a review for a smoke detector. Why you may ask, well if you have read other reviews on this product you will realize that it is because a false alarm has awoken me for the second night in a row. The first night we thought it was a battery issue but even after changing it continues to chirp. This second we just unplugged it and will be getting a new one tomorrow as this is ridiculous.Please, if you are even remotely considering this model, do you self a favor and get something else. Your family may not thank you, but at least they wont be plotting to kill you after a second night of false alarms in a row.	negative
0	Does not Lock in place	I was very happy with the construction and it looked solid. It installed perfectly however, It did not lock in place so on the first run out doing about 15mph in a head wind we lost it to the bottom of the lake. It loosens and falls out. I was very disappointed. I don't plan on throwing another $30 to the bottom of Lake Champlain.	negative
1	This was THEE one	Listen up everybody: This was the album that got Robert on the radio. You had to be alive in 1978 and into music to know the refreshing impact his style had amidst all the disco-clutter at that time. To those who knew his style from this earlier time, his commercial "peak" was more of an anti-climax. I saw him in concert 4 times up close and he was a nonstop bundle of energy. He'd move from one song to the next and each one nearly melted into the next. (no, I was sober!) The rhythms were fantastic. Such an entertainer. And whenever songs from THIS release began, the crowd broke into their wildest cheers. They knew these were the songs that started it all. The ones that introduced us to this fabulous guy. The ones remembered most.... by those who knew him.	positive
1	Children learn how God is with them in their daily lives!	This book has a straightforward approach in showing children, by example, how God can be with them in their daily lives. I really like the interaction of adding thought provoking questions for the children, which helps them internalize the love that God has for them. The pictures are creative and the thick cardboard pages make it easy for little children to grasp. I also hope that parents will get valuable insight from this message when they read this fulfilling book to their children!	positive
1	Awesome Job!	This CD is the best I have heard in a long time. I listen to it every day at least three or four times. I just wanted to tell everyone that they should get this CD even if they don't think they would like it... like I did. After you hear it once, you can't stop!!!	positive
1	Free!	Great collection for my Kindle. It contains the complete Don Juan which formats poorly on a Kindle but gets the job done.	positive
1	the best I've found	I've tried several spicy chai teas and this is by far the best. It is much better than Bigelow's green chai. With a generous addition of honey and a bit of milk, this is wonderful stuff.	positive
0	More Natural Cures Revealed: Previously Censored Brand Name Products That Cure Disease	A waiste of money - Don't bother	negative
0	UNREALISTIC	This show was terrible! The main character was a detective that did not follow a single rule! She walked into a building without a warrant and stole evidence from a suspects desk. And still solved the case without a single glitch or conflict. Another disappointment was the connection between the detective and the "beast". They were already into each other and expressing thier feelings for each other even though they have known each other for a total of 5 hours. If I had to sum up this first episode in one word it would be UNREALISTIC!!!	negative
0	Unsatisfied	Products are in bad conditions, I assumed it was new, but it came to me looking like it was chewed on. Beware	negative
1	I know what addiction was for me.	Reading this book was a requirement for me. It made me realize how my addiction wasn't just about me. My addiction touched everyone I came in contact with and anyone in my life. It has been years since I gave up my old way of life for a new beginning. Thanks for your honesty and the daughter/mother dynamic helped me to see how my addiction REALLY did affect more than just me.I would recommend this book to anyone who is recently in recovery, so that they know their choice to live sober truly does affect everyone around them......Thank you Kristina and Constance for your candid account of lost years......Sincerely, G Prince	positive
0	Clancy's descent continues	What a dreadful book. After "Red Rabbit" I thought it couldn't get any worse. I was wrong.One dimensional characters, plot holes you could drive a bus through, knee-jerk politics and terrible, terrible writing.Clancy should call it a day before his reputation as a craftsman of the novel is buried under such turgid nonsense as this.	negative
0	Nothing but babble	Warning: Very, very, very bad book. I go hot and cold with Koontz. I doubt I'll buy or borrow another book spit out by him. His pathetic efforts to describe the wonders, horrors, pain, confusion, twisted thinking, glamor, insanity--oh, this reads like one of the sentences in The Face. Long, windy sentences crammed with babble, leading to? Don't know. Couldn't bear to finish it--at 141 pages, I'd had enough. Don't bother.	negative
0	Sickening	Ice Cube spews forth the most hateful, vulgar, sexually debasing, racially antagonistic stream of filth I have ever had the displeasure of hearing.	negative
1	Just what I wanted	Great hat. Can't wait to wear it with my military outfit or just with casual t-shirt and jeans. I would totally recommend it.	positive
0	THIS IS NOT THE 2 DISC SET!!!	This is NOT the version with the 2 Disc seteven though the ad says it is, trust me it's NOT. There is NO second disc with Aretha Franklin. If that is what you are looking for do NOT buy this. I unfortunately did and I'm VERY disappointed!!	negative
1	Innovative Gem	A factual docudrama-like film. The visuals in this one are so cool, they'll stick in your mind for a long while. Lena Stolze is the young protagonist, who discovers many hidden secrets of her small German town and how their claims regarding their actions during WWII were as manufactured as her own facade	positive
1	Death in Kenya - one of the best	M.M. Kaye is a novelist of her time. She writes mysteries set in places at the end of the British Empire. All of Kaye's books are excellent and it's almost impossible to choose a favorite. Death in Kenya is excellent though and gives us not only a terrific mystery, but a window into a time and place long since past. We see into the erosion of the "white man's burden" - and it's consequences for the men and women who were at the outposts of an empire.	positive
0	poor job of telling how to deal with problems	The author does a fine job of outlining the problems with the lawyers, and judges even the system. However, he does a very poor job of actually telling you how to deal with the problems. Even the information he gives doesn't follow through. What do you do if you are accused of creating evidence? Are there kinds of evidence that will make you look like you are sticking your nose in the other parent's business where it does not belong? All in all, if you are not one of Mr. White's personal friends, reviewing this book as a favor you won't find much help here. Since I don't have the money to hire a PI, I am screwed. I am really out-gunned by my x, as far as money is concerned so this book pretty much convinced me to settle for whatever he is willing to give me.	negative
1	I loved this collection	I loved this collection. It took me back to"what must have been". What a joy to see Josephine as such a beautiful wife, mother and humanitarian. Bonaparte could not have been easy to live with and yet she made it seem easy.	positive
1	mangroomer	I love this little awesome shaver.I would recommend to anyone with hair issues in any place of the body as it can reach almost anywhere.	positive
0	Azomite Contains Lead	I bought this product as I had read about its amazing mineral content. The article suggested taking this as a suppliment (it is, in general, used as a fertilizer). I also saw a Youtube video of a health fanatic who talked about taking this as an aid to getting the best quality minerals, as Azomite comes directly from the earth. Unfortunately, it also contains lead, which I didn't realize before I bought. I stopped using it after finding out about the lead.	negative
0	Comments from the Spiritual Reviewer	Learn to Love is an elaborate, work-intensive program for keeping the stereotypical dream of special love alive. The complicated, multi-factored approach recommended by Jaksch does not uplift and leaves you tired and overwhelmed just reading about it.The strategy proposed by Jaksh is to pre-empt the experience of disillusionment by setting up relationship expectations in a very thorough and controlled way. Then there is no confusion. Each partner knows, accepts, and hopefully performs in a way that he or she is "supposed" to perform. While it's true that there is great power in knowing exactly what you want, it's also true that love cannot be defined, contained, or imitated by the human ego. Therefore, learning to love is more a function of undoing rigid definitions and expectations rather than installing them.This book received a score of 2.5 on a scale of 1 (low) to 10 (high) from the Spiritual Reviewer.	negative
0	NOT AS BIG AS IT LOOKS!!!	The mask claims to be adult size. However unless your a child, don't plan to have much us with it. It won't fit.	negative
0	This book gets an "F"	This book is downright ridiculous. It is mainly the author's personal stories and has little if any realistic advice for dating or improving your skills. I wanted ideas, but instead got useless stories about how being a shoe salesman, or running into a girl from a religious organization led to the author getting a one-night stand. Others are just plain bizarre- like how to pick up girls at an abortion clinic. I will concede that it does have a few good points- if you can get it without having to pay anything for it, I would also say go ahead. But the author comes off as a bit egotistical, and as an uneducated guy trying to pull of a get-rich-quick scheme. The reviews of the book all use far better diction and style than this work. The wise man learns from the mistakes of others- don't waste your money like I did.	negative
0	The conspiracy among us...	About the only thing good about this book was it helped pass the time during a roundtrip flight between Dallas-Chicago. Otherwise, it was populated by the usual suspects: 1 lawyer who works for a high powered law firm that is dependent upon one client, a poorly paid G-man, and a powerful, corrupt executive (of a firm or a nation). He's like Grisham in that now that I've tried it, I won't return.	negative
0	does not work...	Looked like the perfect tool for a small project, but the ball head does not stop, no matter how much you tight the knob.	negative
0	WRONG TRACKLISTING LISTED ON AMAZON-BEWARE!	There are two versions of this cd-the original Erotic Lounge Vol1 UPC 509975109002 which includes Thievery Corporation-Until The Morning and the later version just Erotic Lounge (same cover but vastly different tracklisting-no Until The Morning) UPC 5099751090021.I've contacted Amazon on this but the tracklisting listed here on the site hasn't been corrected and I've contacted Amazon retailers before purchasing to make sure I'm getting the original tracklisting to no avail, most need to (but won't check what cd version it is before they send it to you)	negative
0	Nothing similar to the film	I was greatly dissapointed with the soundtrack that came out for this movie. I was expecting something that I could plug into my car stereo and cruise around town. Unfortunately NONE of the techno-sounds were included on the album. What is the purpose to hype up a movie soundtrack with glorious techno and car-screeching noise, when all you get are very slow rap songs. (1 or 2 exceptions)Rather hit the boards and find the songs or just wait until the movies comes out.	negative
1	Very Well Done	An in depth look into the Franchise run US of the future. Going into great detail of a possible future of a world run by corporations instead of governments. Following the Hacker Hiro Protagonist through his dealings with the mob, and a viral church. Very well done, a great read with plenty of action. Where everythign leads to something more. I highly recomend this book to anyone with an open mind on the future. Or just looking for a realistic near future sci-fi.	positive
0	Cheap broke first day and sound terrible	Cheap broke first day and sound terrible. Not sure why anyone would rate this 5 stars worth $5. Are also uncomfortable.	negative
0	dance mix eh?	Don't by a dance mix, get something more talented, like a rock, or if you're really going down the market for a good time, a book. Actual albums don't necessarily hurt either.	negative
1	My Favorite book in the wholw wide world!	Sally Steward is a wonderful author! I have not read many books and I plan to read more, but so far, this is the best book I have read! Kate knows that she is falling in love with her old friend, Luke. It spokes her when her dad talks about her mom all the time, she had been dead since Kate was 2.	positive
1	2010 Superb film, slight letdown on DVD	2010 is one of the few films that reach the heights of an original. 2001 was an impossible act to follow, but Peter Hyams did the sensible thing, and didn't try to copy the original shot for shot. Instead he picked up the story from a different perspective and concentrated on the human element - hopes, fears, expectations, and ultimately answered most questions - with more questions. This leaves us with as much mystery and grandeur as before - as it should be.The film is more acessible to a mainstream audience, but does not suffer for this.A noble effort.If there is one let down with this DVD presentation, it's the aspect ratio: The 16:9 transfer is non-anamorphic, so widescreen TV users will lose some detail in the picture, if they stretch the picture to fill the screen.A 4:3 transfer is available on the flip side for conventional TV's.	positive
1	Good Video	I have never done yoga before. I decided that I would like to try it. I purchased the video and really enjoyed it. I am not able to do everything. I enjoy the way he teaches and explains that everyone is different, having different abilities. I would recommend this video.	positive
1	Brilliant series!!	The best series since series 2! Just loved it. Really funny, very addictive. My boyfriend loved it and he hadn't even seen the previous series. Really good.	positive
0	You get what you pay for ...	When my baby was soley nursing this pail worked well, but as the solid foods took over - so did the stench. It is the cheapest "odor free pail" I've seen, uses regular trash bags and it works well for what it is. But, I've found the only way to keep the smell out of the nursery is to remove the pail, or change the bag every day (as if that will happen.) I believe if I had followed the instructions to "twist" the top to seal off each diaper it would work better, but I'm too lazy, and I've found the bag usually untwists anyway. My other problem is that the springs and plastic contraption inside pop apart all the time, so I've lost half the springs. I've decided to invest in a more expensive pail and use this one as my kitchen garbage. (It works well keeping little hands out of the garbage.) My advice, spend a little more money and you'll be happier in the long run.	negative

1	Better than a framing square and the trusty ole Swanson	General contracting leads you into some real interesting situations - especially when you attempt to build round pegs into square holes. This handy gadget can do it for you without turning what little hair you have left further grey. Wish I had purchased it two years ago, rather than two months.I laid out a complicated staircase in one attempt within 1/8" of my target. I can live with that anyday. Can't wait to build another house and cut the roof. Should be able to leave my "blue book" in the truck.	positive
1	Great...but where's the opening song?	I love this soundtrack. It's very good, I love how they mixed Christian artists in it as well, giving them credit. All the songs are wonderfully balanced in tunes and vocals and lyrics. The only thing that I missed was the music that was playing at the beginning of the movie. What is that? Oh well. Please, check this out.	positive
0	not going to kill your dog but definitely not healthy	I fed Beneful to my last dog for 13 years and he lived to be almost 14 years old so it obviously isn't going to kill your dog. But my current dog has really bad skin allergies and the vet said to try switching food first. That was the first time I looked at the ingredients in Beneful and was shocked! Corn is the first ingredient? That's ridiculous. If you can't afford a better food with less junk in it, this food will suffice. But definitely if your dog is prone to allergies like mine don't feed them this food. It isn't healthy at all. Personally, I'm finding it costs just about the same to make my own dog food with natural ingredients and real meat.	negative
1	Interesting.........	Although, I had never heard of harmonographs until I saw this text in a book store recently, the drawing on the cover caught my eye immediately, as I had seen similiar drawings, created by some drawing device using pendulums, in Annie Besant and Charles Leadbeater's THOUGHT FORMS, first published over 100 years ago. Those who are familiar with Stephen Phillips' 1980 work: Extrasensory Perception of Quarks (which is a contempory analysis of Besant & Leadbeater's Occult Chemistry, published in 1908 & 1919) might be well inclined to take Besant and Leadbeater seriously regarding their geometric descriptions of thought forms. Since Besant and Leadbeater assume that there is some commonality between the shape of the thought forms they perceived and those drawn by a harmonograph, this book seems like a good introduction to this long forgotten device, which may provide some sort of conceptual framework to think about thought forms.	positive
0	Want to love it, but several problems	I have been using various Pur faucet filters through at least 5 units now. Originally the plastic rotate units, then 2 stainless in a row as I moved each time I'd just buy a new one leave the old behind. They are great.....EXCEPT that the case tends to crack nearest the faucet hookup. This is particularly quick to happen on the units that rotate. But it has also happened to me with the stainless steel unit just happened to me on a SECOND stainless now.ALSO the screw-on cap in front is a PAIN to remove. It's round and smooth and hard to find any grip on it when it's screwed in tight. They really should put a couple of flat edges to give your fingers somewhere to grab. Installing is difficult as well getting that last bit of turn-down to get it flush.I keep coming back to Pur though even with these defects they are a great value.	negative
0	Not as pictured	I wanted a neat tapestry and loved the dark green color of the image. However what I received was a very light colored turquoise cloth. The designs are not very preferable either, with large cheesy looking heads.	negative
0	Stay away	I purchased a defender security camera system. At exactly 13 months the dvr stopped working. At first Defender refused to do anything about it and said it was out of warranty which ended just a few weeks back. After a couple emails and phone calls they finally said they would fix the broken unit. I thought everything would be fine then it all started. I sent in the unit at my expense. About a month later I receive the unit back and an email saying we refuse to fix your broken unit because it is out of warranty. Defender does not stand behind their products. Why would you say you would fix a broken product then turn around to the paying customer and tell them we refuse to help them? I called customer support about this and everyone is rude and will not talk to you without say you are out of warranty so we will not help you.	negative
1	DREAM.. I knew it from the start	The girls might be young... but they sure do have talent. I love Ashley, Holly, Mel, and D! They're awesome.. y'all can expect more hits on their debut album called 'It Was All A Dream' when it comes out on January 23rd!	positive
0	Big letdown	I thoroughly enjoyed my first two experiences with the author, Ruffians and Titans. I had seen some bad reviews of Exact Revenge, but with a long airline delay ahead of me I bought the book out of a high regard for Tim Green.This story reminded me of the convoluted fairy tales I made up for my 4 year old niece. I would steal a classic story and make up the most outlandish characters, qualities and plotlines; something akin to a man in a burning building suddenly growing wings and flying away.The story is ridiculous and impossible to accept. The lead character goes from top of the world, to a life-sentenced prison term, to an escapee with wealth beyond anyone's imagination. He manages to buy the N.Y. Jets, live a lavish life and influence world leaders without detection.On a positive note, this book reads very quickly because one is always waiting for the next silly development. Buy this book if you believe Superheroes really exist, otherwise save your money!	negative
0	Honest Dissent	I almost gave this movie three stars, but I just can't. Kudos to the filmmakers for having a little more imagination than most who attempt to bring science fiction to the screen, but to me this movie was stupid to the core, and all the balletic violence and the beautiful slow-motion fall of thousands of shell casings can't make up for the stupidity. From the absurd notion that human bodies are power sources (just ask a physicist to estimate the thermodynamic efficiency of human metabolic processes) to the Deus Ex Machina resolution (Keanu as Messiah - "He's the one!"), the noise and banality overwhelms what is original in this film. It is a visual feast, and the Oracle as cookie-baking Mom was fun, but I think this film is highly overrated.	negative
0	UG	Lets see they repeate the plot 300 times. As if you dident getit the first time. Film ends after plot that isent there repeated 300 times	negative
0	Slow movie	The story is one of those ones that you think will get better but never does. The concept was ok but the story just moved in the wrong direction and never really go going.	negative
0	Poor Customer Service	I bought the 4gig memory and only one worked. Tried to return it and was given the run around for almost two months. They told me to send it to amazon, amazon told me to send it them and back and forth. I was going to spend a little more and buy something different from them but after all the hassle, NO WAY.	negative
0	What a Load of Crap!	The book demonizes masturbation as a sin and focuses only on male masturbation. It seems to have never crossed the authors wholesome minds that females might masturbate as well. It also claims masturbation may lead to homosexuality. A better title for this tripe might be "How to Raise Sexal Basket Cases."	negative
0	Huge disappointment.	I made the mistake of buying this novel on a whim at a local bookshop. Usually I read several reviews before investing in an author I haven't read before, but in this case I was drawn in by the Jane Austen references and by the many, many positive jacket blurbs from well-known writers.Karen Joy Fowler must be a really nice person and/or a huge producer of blurbs that had to be repaid. I can't imagine any other reason why excellent writers would risk their reputations in recommending such a mediocre work.Fowler is far from being a modern Jane Austen. Her characters are poorly developed. The plotting is poor. Overall this is just not an interesting or appealing book.If you love Jane Austen as I do, you may find yourself appalled that her name is associated with this dreck.	negative
1	Great Book	This is a really good book. I would recommend it to fans of the movie. Can't hardly beat the price or the shipping when you buy it off Kindle.	positive
0	This is one of the worst Baby Einstein products on the market	I was thrilled when my parents gave me this DVD. The twins (2 months old) listen to classical music throughout the day and to have a Baby Einstein video that incorporates something visual to go along with the music was a brillant concept. However, Baby Einstein failed to deliver anything visually stimulating or educational. I am very disappointed, I expected more from Baby Einstein.	negative
1	Great for any Elephant Lover...	I Purchased this in May as a part of a Mothers day gift for my Mom, she Loves Elephants and they are her favorite animal, it is a great shirt to wear around the house and I was surprised to see her wear it outside, the quality is great and even after many washes in cold water with similar colored items it is still very vibrant and detailed, hasn't faded yet, we turn it inside out to wash also and tumble dry on low we also take it out the dryer before other thicker items to prevent shrinking or fading due to heat. Anything that makes my Mom happy makes me happy, so if you or some one you know Loves Elephants this is a great buy, and if you take care of the shirt and be mindful how you wash and dry, it will look as good as the day you purchased it.	positive
1	Excellent primer	Those who have panned this book weren't looking for insight into the thought process of architectural design. This book is not a cookbook, but a primarily graphical introductory intended to start the architecture student thinking how architects think.I'm not technically an architecture student, but rather an architecture design "hobbyist". I found this book very useful as far as helping me to look at the design process in new ways, and to better understand the various historical (and contemporary) methods/techniques used to formulate architectural designs.This book is a textbook, not a 5 lb. coffee table glossy.	positive
0	The CLASSIC Failure in Soundtracks	This soundtrack is really good if you have not seen the movie. If you have seen the movie it is just insulting. All too often a movie soundtrack will be full of good music from the movie, such a the Gone In 60 Seconds soundtrack, BUT there will be a fatal error made. In the movie, there is plenty of music. Some of the music is in the background, and Nicolas Cage and company actively listen to some. The fatal error is the only song that is actual a real part of the movie, Low Rider by War, is left out of the soundtrack. It truly insulting to go see a movie, notice a song that is actually a part of the plot, and find it is left out of the soundtrack. Forgive my judgmental nature, but I personally believe that a song should be included on a soundtrack if it used in the movie in any way, background or foreground. I take particular offense when foreground is left out for more popular music.	negative
0	Poor there it is	Just to fanciful, seemed lime Rollins wrote himself into to many corners then just came up with silly little tools, gadgets or explanations to get himself out of it. I mean mini computers that can fly in hurricane force dust storms.I would call it a bond meets Indiana Jones (even that name is stolen in a way) meets Laura drift tomb raider.	negative
1	"Journey Into the Life....."	Yo, if you are looking for that head banger boogie type of Christian Hip-Hop. Don't sleep on the Omega full length CD entitled "Journey Into the Life."The album includes guest appearances from:The Phanatik from Cross Movement, Judah Priest from 39 Lashaz, Naj from Tribe Judah, and Beridox from Corelink Records/Trigland Ministries	positive
0	Laughable tripe	This book was recommended to me by a doctor who is helping me with my depression by prescribing anti-depressent drugs for me. Now I'm embarrassed for having bought it. This book claims that past life regression therapy can not only aid one psychologically, but it is also a cure for back pain, tension headaches, and, yes, cancer. (Funny how the rest of the media has ignored this story!)The author gives plenty of "examples" of people being helped (first names only, naturally),and claims that after his first book, he was flooded with mail from other pyschoanalysts who agreed with him but were afraid to go public (so, of course, he doesn't name any of them). After this book, I need a dose of common sense, let me find some Carl Sagan!	negative
1	Learn to be a great account executive in less than an hour.	After fifteen years as an executive in the advertising business, I'm still stymied every time I try to explain what it takes to be a great account executive. Thankfully, Robert Solomon has done it for me. This book does a terrific job of boiling down a very complicated and multi-faceted job into a few short chapters. In less than an hour, you'll learn everything you need to know to become an effective account manager. From developing strong strategies to building lasting relationships with clients to conducting yourself properly in meetings, this book has it all. Definitely required reading for anyone interested in entering (or staying) in the advertising business.	positive
0	not a great bag	I bought this bag thinking that it would hold everything that Ineed to carry. Boy was I wrong. By the time I put his clothes and blanket in there was no room. also if you use the avent bottles you cant fit them in the bottle holders on the inside. If you keep the zipped bag in place you can hold even less. the only time I could use this bag was if I was going out for a short time. also the strap never stayed on my shoulder so it was very hard to juggel a baby abd the bag. I am still in search for a decent bag that holds enough for a whole day and then some.If you are thinking of buying this dont keep looking.	negative

0	disappointed & dissatisfied	I have had two ER411 Nose and Ear Hair Groomers before making this recent purchase. I thought those ER411 groomers were perfect. You could cut on the end as well as the side making them very effective. Panasonic has changed the inner blade design so that it cuts only on the side. The old design was referred to as a curved blade design. Panasonic packaging still refers to the ER411 having the curved blade. In phone calls to Panasonic I have been told that the new design is in effect now.	negative
1	Nice Bag - gonna 'test' this weekend	Received the bag on time - gonna try it in the colorado mountains (around 10K feet) this weekend (Memorial day 2009). Weather is to be cooler (about 30 deg F in the mornings) so we'll see how it works. It has plenty of space, very soft inside, feels warm in the "inside house" test. It completely filled the stuff sack it came in - so my only concern is how to get it back in there! I'll find out this evening... It is large even in the stuff sack, yet expectedly so as to it's intended size... First impressions - very nice! I gave it 4 stars as I haven't used it yet....	positive
0	Roomy, but gets gross & dirty	We have a BIG toddler, and I truly commend the spaciousness of this model...BUT...Here are the reasons why I am now looking for a new highchair:1) The chair pad is SO hard to clean...it's not your average toss-in-the-washer pad. So....you can try to constantly spot-clean, but it gets dirtier, and dirtier, and dirtier. Then the flies start eyeballing your highchair.2) When you place the positioning of the seat lower, and your little one is a bit hyper (or perhaps still has a wobbly head), they will hit their head on the large, round side-hinge thingies. (This is my scientific name for them.)Seriously, I don't think our highchair could get much more gross. But before it does, I'm getting a new one. Perhaps the Fisher Price "Zen Highchair."	negative
0	They shipped me a knock-off brand	I thought I was ordering this from Amazon. I was frustrated to see my order farmed out to a 3rd party. This should be made VERY obvious when I place an order. Watch out for the phrase "Offered by:" in the item description when ordering parts from Amazon. That means you aren't buying the part from Amazon but from a 3rd party instead.The product I received was not what I ordered. I ordered a Motorola cable but received a no name knock-off instead!You are damaging Amazon's reputation by using this 3rd party selling technique.	negative

0	A single wire works better	Been gathering dust in my attic for 7 years, I took it down to see if it would improve the reception over the included thin wire with my new RX-A2000 receiver. It not only didn't improve it, it worsened it. Back to the attic, or frankly, to the garbage can. I wish I could say otherwise, but for me (a wood frame house, large metro area), it struggled to tune 100,000 watt stations.Your mileage may vary. I can't recommend.	negative
0	This Biography Takes Too Many Short Cuts	I'm glad I didn't purchase this DVD. Only some brief widescreen glimpses of the coming-soon "Buffalo Bill..." got a rise out of me. The big disgrace is the obscenely short amount of time devoted to "Nashville"--and awful pan-and-scan footage at that! And the other, lesser-known films are relegated to still photos and Cinema 101 Narrator. It's always fascinating to see the old guy comment on the "Gingerbread Man" controversy, but I'm not sure that Mr. Altman would be too pleased with a program that barely mentions his own (admitted) favorite "Kansas City."Worst of all, the "filmography" lists a movie called "Secret HARBOR" from 1984. Where do I send my resume?	negative

1	Best ps2 game ever	God of War 2 has the best playstation 2 graphics ever and it is set in ancient Greece. It seems like you are playing a next gen. game but really a ps2 one. The cutscenes and even when you are playing seems like it is of movie quality. The combat system is really unique in the way you kill your enemies. Like when you fight a cyclopse and it is worn down, you will climb up it and rip out its eye. You can also twist off a medusas head. The sound of God of War 2 is just as amazing as the graphics. There is also a bonus disc that has a lot of special features like deleted levels, the making of, and the actors doing their voice overs, as well as interviews. Overall this a really great action/adventure/fantasy game.	positive
1	Takes Toby Keith To A New High	I found this CD, entertaining, fun and quirky. It is by far the best musically, with sophisticated arrangements including horns and strings. "Get Drunk and Be Somebody" is a pure Toby Keith, rock'n country song as is "I Ain't Already There". Then there are those Keith songs with quirky lyrics, like "Grain of Salt", "Can't Buy You Money" and "Hell No". My favorites are "Note to Self" and "A Little Too Late". If you love his voice, then you will love "Note to Self". "A Little Too Late" is a softer ballad that reminds me of "If I Didn't Know Now" (one of my all time favorites). "Ain't No Right Way" has a more traditional country sound. I love the CD and think any Toby Keith fan will too. There is something in there for everyone, rock'n country, sophisticated arrangements and some songs with a more traditional country feel. This one will certainly earn some new Toby Keith fans, so give it a listen.Essex tkifc	positive
1	Groovin'	This is the second of a string of three Prestige albums Golson recorded in 1959. All three are top notch. On this one Golson is joined by Curtis Fuller (tb) Ray Bryant (p) Paul Chambers (b) and Art Blakey (d). This is hard bop at its finest. Two standards and three originals make up the tunes; all three originals are blues (THE STROLLER is up tempo and really cooks). Ray Bryant, an excellent blues interpretor on piano, is wonderful on these sides. Everyone came to play on this date, and the results are very solid.	positive
1	Avery weatherproof labels have best adhesive, good for plastic long-term storage	These labels are the best I have found for sticking onto PLASTIC storage bins or totes (such as Rubbermaid Roughtotes), for long-term storage. Also good for cardboard moving cartons. Other labels quickly come loose. I have had especially bad luck with store brands. Now I only use the weatherproof line of labels from Avery when I need to label plastic items. I also use these for labeling packages to be mailed, because who knows what kind of weather a package will encounter during travel.I often just write on the labels, with a Sharpie permanent marker, rather than preparing printed labels. They seem to absorb the marker ink without smearing. Using the printer also works fine.Note that the photo for this item may show a different size of labels than what the text description indicates.	positive
1	Chicago Roller Skates	I purchased three pair of these skates over two years ago. My Children are team skating now and these skates are great. I read the other reviews and was surprised.

0	his worst	Absolutely the worst album of Marilyn Manson. I am a big fan of his music but I must say that. Buy this CD only if you need it desperately for your MM collection. It contains only a few not bad songs like (s)aint, mOBSCENE, Para-Noir and Vodevil and even those songs do not make this album worth of bying or even listening second time. It is a huge disappointment. Never expected such a weak album from such a great performer.	negative
0	Poor Video Transfer	This is an absolutely terrible transfer. It is ridden with edge enhancement (halos on contrasting edges) and severe noise reduction (smoothing the image to reduce film grain -- AND detail). This is so severe that film elements such as arrows and spears in the battle at the beginning are not visible. It's barely an upgrade over DVD, and simply not what a movie of this caliber deserves. It is extremely unfortunate that such an outstanding movie has been treated so poorly. Stick with the DVD and don't buy this blu-ray disc.	negative
1	Great Lyrics, Great Talent, Great CD	At first I listened to Brand New's old album, Your Favorite Weapon, I wasn't a big fan, to punky screamy for me. But this album blows the that out of the water.

0	Not what most theatre buffs would hope for	As one of the last important figures in 20th Century musical theatre, Tommy Tune was part of many important shows. One would hope his autobiography would include at least some insight into his performing and directing techniques -- but such is not the case here. As for his personal life, Mr. Tune shares a great deal -- but it is hard to rely on the frankness of someone who seems to change his sexual preferences as easily as most of us change clothes. And the chapter discussing the woman he wronged but refuses to name is so obvious in who it refers to that the author's sincerity rings false. Some interesting anecdotes and photos not found elsewhere, but overall a great disappointment.	negative

Throughout the whole book, it seemed like Philip was building up to a spectacular finale. However, the story instead ends abruptly with no real conclusion. I felt cheated.

Ehhh, pretty unimaginative

I am a very good cook, but I have been stuck when trying to create tasty meals for my little monkey. I bought this book anticipating great ideas and tasty recipes. For one thing, the recipes are very boring and not hard to figure out for yourself, without a cookbook telling you; for instance fruit skewers, rolled up PBnJ.A couple of the recipes peaked my interest, the vegetable chips and veggie fritters...the recipes were horrible. They didn't come out the way the description explained they would. Everything I tried to make that was out of the ordinary turned out poorly. I assume these were not tested recipes.

nothing to get excited about.

Everybody is praising this band for being one of the best out there. But my question is why? If the members of this band were not formerly from very successful bands, I can guarantee you they would not get all of the love they are receiving. This CD is boring, choppy, and unoriginal. It is better than a small quantity of its competition, but lacks in interest and creavtity.

Good

"Fahrenheit 451" is set in a time where reading books is strictly forbidden. In this world, instead of putting out fires and keeping people safe, firefighters burn entire houses containing books, and occasionally even people. One of these firefighters, Guy Montag, has doubts about the whole situation, and those doubts are strengthened when he meets a freethinking girl by the name of Clarisse McClellan. The major themes in this book include the value of intelligence and human interaction. I would suggest everyone read this book at least once, to help understand why it is important to attain knowledge and break free from ignorance. I overall liked this book, and would give it a 4/5

Don't buy this product

I was new to online shopping when I purchased this product. Now I know to read the reviews. This can opener is the worse I have ever had. It worked for 2 weeks and then the magnet that holds the can lid broke off and I had to glued it back. Now every can light or heavy, small or medium slips off the can when trying to open it. It will only make a hole a couple centimeters at a time. It takes me so long to get it opened enough for me to pry the rest that my arms get tired holding up the can. By the time I am done there are shreds of paper and metal all over and in the can. Please save your money, I am on my way to buy another can opener right now. I might pick up a hand held just in case this happens again.

I'm confused

I think this excerpt says it all:"Consider Brandon and the Bipolar Bear: A Story for Children With Bipolar Disorder. It tells the story of a day in the life of Brandon, a young boy who is put to bed but then asks for a glass of water. He feels somewhat frightened and becomes tearful when left alone to fall asleep. Upon awakening, Brandon has a temper tantrum because he doesn't want to get out of bed. During the tantrum he tears off the arm of his beloved teddy bear. He is crushed by his destruction of his teddy bear but is greatly relieved when his mother offers to fix its arm. He becomes excited and bounces up and down on his bed. He goes to see Dr. Samuel, who tells him he has bipolar disorder. None of Brandon's behaviors, taken alone or even together, qualify as symptoms of bipolar disorder. Dr. Samuel medicates him anyway."And that was the opinion of a psychiatrist:[...]

I have been using the airbed for friends and family when they come to visit.

Yet another false alarm review

So, here I am at 03:34 AM writing a review for a smoke detector. Why you may ask, well if you have read other reviews on this product you will realize that it is because a false alarm has awoken me for the second night in a row. The first night we thought it was a battery issue but even after changing it continues to chirp. This second we just unplugged it and will be getting a new one tomorrow as this is ridiculous.Please, if you are even remotely considering this model, do you self a favor and get something else. Your family may not thank you, but at least they wont be plotting to kill you after a second night of false alarms in a row.

I was very happy with the construction and it looked solid. It installed perfectly however, It did not lock in place so on the first run out doing about 15mph in a head wind we lost it to the bottom of the lake. It loosens and falls out. I was very disappointed. I don't plan on throwing another $30 to the bottom of Lake Champlain.

This was THEE one

Listen up everybody: This was the album that got Robert on the radio. You had to be alive in 1978 and into music to know the refreshing impact his style had amidst all the disco-clutter at that time. To those who knew his style from this earlier time, his commercial "peak" was more of an anti-climax. I saw him in concert 4 times up close and he was a nonstop bundle of energy. He'd move from one song to the next and each one nearly melted into the next. (no, I was sober!) The rhythms were fantastic. Such an entertainer. And whenever songs from THIS release began, the crowd broke into their wildest cheers. They knew these were the songs that started it all. The ones that introduced us to this fabulous guy. The ones remembered most.... by those who knew him.

Children learn how God is with them in their daily lives!

This book has a straightforward approach in showing children, by example, how God can be with them in their daily lives. I really like the interaction of adding thought provoking questions for the children, which helps them internalize the love that God has for them. The pictures are creative and the thick cardboard pages make it easy for little children to grasp. I also hope that parents will get valuable insight from this message when they read this fulfilling book to their children!

This show was terrible! The main character was a detective that did not follow a single rule! She walked into a building without a warrant and stole evidence from a suspects desk. And still solved the case without a single glitch or conflict. Another disappointment was the connection between the detective and the "beast". They were already into each other and expressing thier feelings for each other even though they have known each other for a total of 5 hours. If I had to sum up this first episode in one word it would be UNREALISTIC!!!

Death in Kenya - one of the best

M.M. Kaye is a novelist of her time. She writes mysteries set in places at the end of the British Empire. All of Kaye's books are excellent and it's almost impossible to choose a favorite. Death in Kenya is excellent though and gives us not only a terrific mystery, but a window into a time and place long since past. We see into the erosion of the "white man's burden" - and it's consequences for the men and women who were at the outposts of an empire.

poor job of telling how to deal with problems

The author does a fine job of outlining the problems with the lawyers, and judges even the system. However, he does a very poor job of actually telling you how to deal with the problems. Even the information he gives doesn't follow through. What do you do if you are accused of creating evidence? Are there kinds of evidence that will make you look like you are sticking your nose in the other parent's business where it does not belong? All in all, if you are not one of Mr. White's personal friends, reviewing this book as a favor you won't find much help here. Since I don't have the money to hire a PI, I am screwed. I am really out-gunned by my x, as far as money is concerned so this book pretty much convinced me to settle for whatever he is willing to give me.

I bought this product as I had read about its amazing mineral content. The article suggested taking this as a suppliment (it is, in general, used as a fertilizer). I also saw a Youtube video of a health fanatic who talked about taking this as an aid to getting the best quality minerals, as Azomite comes directly from the earth. Unfortunately, it also contains lead, which I didn't realize before I bought. I stopped using it after finding out about the lead.

Comments from the Spiritual Reviewer

Learn to Love is an elaborate, work-intensive program for keeping the stereotypical dream of special love alive. The complicated, multi-factored approach recommended by Jaksch does not uplift and leaves you tired and overwhelmed just reading about it.The strategy proposed by Jaksh is to pre-empt the experience of disillusionment by setting up relationship expectations in a very thorough and controlled way. Then there is no confusion. Each partner knows, accepts, and hopefully performs in a way that he or she is "supposed" to perform. While it's true that there is great power in knowing exactly what you want, it's also true that love cannot be defined, contained, or imitated by the human ego. Therefore, learning to love is more a function of undoing rigid definitions and expectations rather than installing them.This book received a score of 2.5 on a scale of 1 (low) to 10 (high) from the Spiritual Reviewer.

This book gets an "F"

This book is downright ridiculous. It is mainly the author's personal stories and has little if any realistic advice for dating or improving your skills. I wanted ideas, but instead got useless stories about how being a shoe salesman, or running into a girl from a religious organization led to the author getting a one-night stand. Others are just plain bizarre- like how to pick up girls at an abortion clinic. I will concede that it does have a few good points- if you can get it without having to pay anything for it, I would also say go ahead. But the author comes off as a bit egotistical, and as an uneducated guy trying to pull of a get-rich-quick scheme. The reviews of the book all use far better diction and style than this work. The wise man learns from the mistakes of others- don't waste your money like I did.

The conspiracy among us...

About the only thing good about this book was it helped pass the time during a roundtrip flight between Dallas-Chicago. Otherwise, it was populated by the usual suspects: 1 lawyer who works for a high powered law firm that is dependent upon one client, a poorly paid G-man, and a powerful, corrupt executive (of a firm or a nation). He's like Grisham in that now that I've tried it, I won't return.

I was greatly dissapointed with the soundtrack that came out for this movie. I was expecting something that I could plug into my car stereo and cruise around town. Unfortunately NONE of the techno-sounds were included on the album. What is the purpose to hype up a movie soundtrack with glorious techno and car-screeching noise, when all you get are very slow rap songs. (1 or 2 exceptions)Rather hit the boards and find the songs or just wait until the movies comes out.

Sally Steward is a wonderful author! I have not read many books and I plan to read more, but so far, this is the best book I have read! Kate knows that she is falling in love with her old friend, Luke. It spokes her when her dad talks about her mom all the time, she had been dead since Kate was 2.

2010 Superb film, slight letdown on DVD

2010 is one of the few films that reach the heights of an original. 2001 was an impossible act to follow, but Peter Hyams did the sensible thing, and didn't try to copy the original shot for shot. Instead he picked up the story from a different perspective and concentrated on the human element - hopes, fears, expectations, and ultimately answered most questions - with more questions. This leaves us with as much mystery and grandeur as before - as it should be.The film is more acessible to a mainstream audience, but does not suffer for this.A noble effort.If there is one let down with this DVD presentation, it's the aspect ratio: The 16:9 transfer is non-anamorphic, so widescreen TV users will lose some detail in the picture, if they stretch the picture to fill the screen.A 4:3 transfer is available on the flip side for conventional TV's.

I have never done yoga before. I decided that I would like to try it. I purchased the video and really enjoyed it. I am not able to do everything. I enjoy the way he teaches and explains that everyone is different, having different abilities. I would recommend this video.

You get what you pay for ...

When my baby was soley nursing this pail worked well, but as the solid foods took over - so did the stench. It is the cheapest "odor free pail" I've seen, uses regular trash bags and it works well for what it is. But, I've found the only way to keep the smell out of the nursery is to remove the pail, or change the bag every day (as if that will happen.) I believe if I had followed the instructions to "twist" the top to seal off each diaper it would work better, but I'm too lazy, and I've found the bag usually untwists anyway. My other problem is that the springs and plastic contraption inside pop apart all the time, so I've lost half the springs. I've decided to invest in a more expensive pail and use this one as my kitchen garbage. (It works well keeping little hands out of the garbage.) My advice, spend a little more money and you'll be happier in the long run.

Better than a framing square and the trusty ole Swanson

General contracting leads you into some real interesting situations - especially when you attempt to build round pegs into square holes. This handy gadget can do it for you without turning what little hair you have left further grey. Wish I had purchased it two years ago, rather than two months.I laid out a complicated staircase in one attempt within 1/8" of my target. I can live with that anyday. Can't wait to build another house and cut the roof. Should be able to leave my "blue book" in the truck.

Great...but where's the opening song?

I love this soundtrack. It's very good, I love how they mixed Christian artists in it as well, giving them credit. All the songs are wonderfully balanced in tunes and vocals and lyrics. The only thing that I missed was the music that was playing at the beginning of the movie. What is that? Oh well. Please, check this out.

not going to kill your dog but definitely not healthy

I fed Beneful to my last dog for 13 years and he lived to be almost 14 years old so it obviously isn't going to kill your dog. But my current dog has really bad skin allergies and the vet said to try switching food first. That was the first time I looked at the ingredients in Beneful and was shocked! Corn is the first ingredient? That's ridiculous. If you can't afford a better food with less junk in it, this food will suffice. But definitely if your dog is prone to allergies like mine don't feed them this food. It isn't healthy at all. Personally, I'm finding it costs just about the same to make my own dog food with natural ingredients and real meat.

Interesting.........

Although, I had never heard of harmonographs until I saw this text in a book store recently, the drawing on the cover caught my eye immediately, as I had seen similiar drawings, created by some drawing device using pendulums, in Annie Besant and Charles Leadbeater's THOUGHT FORMS, first published over 100 years ago. Those who are familiar with Stephen Phillips' 1980 work: Extrasensory Perception of Quarks (which is a contempory analysis of Besant & Leadbeater's Occult Chemistry, published in 1908 & 1919) might be well inclined to take Besant and Leadbeater seriously regarding their geometric descriptions of thought forms. Since Besant and Leadbeater assume that there is some commonality between the shape of the thought forms they perceived and those drawn by a harmonograph, this book seems like a good introduction to this long forgotten device, which may provide some sort of conceptual framework to think about thought forms.

Want to love it, but several problems

I have been using various Pur faucet filters through at least 5 units now. Originally the plastic rotate units, then 2 stainless in a row as I moved each time I'd just buy a new one leave the old behind. They are great.....EXCEPT that the case tends to crack nearest the faucet hookup. This is particularly quick to happen on the units that rotate. But it has also happened to me with the stainless steel unit just happened to me on a SECOND stainless now.ALSO the screw-on cap in front is a PAIN to remove. It's round and smooth and hard to find any grip on it when it's screwed in tight. They really should put a couple of flat edges to give your fingers somewhere to grab. Installing is difficult as well getting that last bit of turn-down to get it flush.I keep coming back to Pur though even with these defects they are a great value.

Stay away

I purchased a defender security camera system. At exactly 13 months the dvr stopped working. At first Defender refused to do anything about it and said it was out of warranty which ended just a few weeks back. After a couple emails and phone calls they finally said they would fix the broken unit. I thought everything would be fine then it all started. I sent in the unit at my expense. About a month later I receive the unit back and an email saying we refuse to fix your broken unit because it is out of warranty. Defender does not stand behind their products. Why would you say you would fix a broken product then turn around to the paying customer and tell them we refuse to help them? I called customer support about this and everyone is rude and will not talk to you without say you are out of warranty so we will not help you.

Big letdown

I thoroughly enjoyed my first two experiences with the author, Ruffians and Titans. I had seen some bad reviews of Exact Revenge, but with a long airline delay ahead of me I bought the book out of a high regard for Tim Green.This story reminded me of the convoluted fairy tales I made up for my 4 year old niece. I would steal a classic story and make up the most outlandish characters, qualities and plotlines; something akin to a man in a burning building suddenly growing wings and flying away.The story is ridiculous and impossible to accept. The lead character goes from top of the world, to a life-sentenced prison term, to an escapee with wealth beyond anyone's imagination. He manages to buy the N.Y. Jets, live a lavish life and influence world leaders without detection.On a positive note, this book reads very quickly because one is always waiting for the next silly development. Buy this book if you believe Superheroes really exist, otherwise save your money!

Honest Dissent

I almost gave this movie three stars, but I just can't. Kudos to the filmmakers for having a little more imagination than most who attempt to bring science fiction to the screen, but to me this movie was stupid to the core, and all the balletic violence and the beautiful slow-motion fall of thousands of shell casings can't make up for the stupidity. From the absurd notion that human bodies are power sources (just ask a physicist to estimate the thermodynamic efficiency of human metabolic processes) to the Deus Ex Machina resolution (Keanu as Messiah - "He's the one!"), the noise and banality overwhelms what is original in this film. It is a visual feast, and the Oracle as cookie-baking Mom was fun, but I think this film is highly overrated.

What a Load of Crap!

The book demonizes masturbation as a sin and focuses only on male masturbation. It seems to have never crossed the authors wholesome minds that females might masturbate as well. It also claims masturbation may lead to homosexuality. A better title for this tripe might be "How to Raise Sexal Basket Cases."

Huge disappointment.

I made the mistake of buying this novel on a whim at a local bookshop. Usually I read several reviews before investing in an author I haven't read before, but in this case I was drawn in by the Jane Austen references and by the many, many positive jacket blurbs from well-known writers.Karen Joy Fowler must be a really nice person and/or a huge producer of blurbs that had to be repaid. I can't imagine any other reason why excellent writers would risk their reputations in recommending such a mediocre work.Fowler is far from being a modern Jane Austen. Her characters are poorly developed. The plotting is poor. Overall this is just not an interesting or appealing book.If you love Jane Austen as I do, you may find yourself appalled that her name is associated with this dreck.

This is one of the worst Baby Einstein products on the market

I was thrilled when my parents gave me this DVD. The twins (2 months old) listen to classical music throughout the day and to have a Baby Einstein video that incorporates something visual to go along with the music was a brillant concept. However, Baby Einstein failed to deliver anything visually stimulating or educational. I am very disappointed, I expected more from Baby Einstein.

Great for any Elephant Lover...

I Purchased this in May as a part of a Mothers day gift for my Mom, she Loves Elephants and they are her favorite animal, it is a great shirt to wear around the house and I was surprised to see her wear it outside, the quality is great and even after many washes in cold water with similar colored items it is still very vibrant and detailed, hasn't faded yet, we turn it inside out to wash also and tumble dry on low we also take it out the dryer before other thicker items to prevent shrinking or fading due to heat. Anything that makes my Mom happy makes me happy, so if you or some one you know Loves Elephants this is a great buy, and if you take care of the shirt and be mindful how you wash and dry, it will look as good as the day you purchased it.

Excellent primer

Those who have panned this book weren't looking for insight into the thought process of architectural design. This book is not a cookbook, but a primarily graphical introductory intended to start the architecture student thinking how architects think.I'm not technically an architecture student, but rather an architecture design "hobbyist". I found this book very useful as far as helping me to look at the design process in new ways, and to better understand the various historical (and contemporary) methods/techniques used to formulate architectural designs.This book is a textbook, not a 5 lb. coffee table glossy.

The CLASSIC Failure in Soundtracks

This soundtrack is really good if you have not seen the movie. If you have seen the movie it is just insulting. All too often a movie soundtrack will be full of good music from the movie, such a the Gone In 60 Seconds soundtrack, BUT there will be a fatal error made. In the movie, there is plenty of music. Some of the music is in the background, and Nicolas Cage and company actively listen to some. The fatal error is the only song that is actual a real part of the movie, Low Rider by War, is left out of the soundtrack. It truly insulting to go see a movie, notice a song that is actually a part of the plot, and find it is left out of the soundtrack. Forgive my judgmental nature, but I personally believe that a song should be included on a soundtrack if it used in the movie in any way, background or foreground. I take particular offense when foreground is left out for more popular music.

Laughable tripe

This book was recommended to me by a doctor who is helping me with my depression by prescribing anti-depressent drugs for me. Now I'm embarrassed for having bought it. This book claims that past life regression therapy can not only aid one psychologically, but it is also a cure for back pain, tension headaches, and, yes, cancer. (Funny how the rest of the media has ignored this story!)The author gives plenty of "examples" of people being helped (first names only, naturally),and claims that after his first book, he was flooded with mail from other pyschoanalysts who agreed with him but were afraid to go public (so, of course, he doesn't name any of them). After this book, I need a dose of common sense, let me find some Carl Sagan!

Learn to be a great account executive in less than an hour.

After fifteen years as an executive in the advertising business, I'm still stymied every time I try to explain what it takes to be a great account executive. Thankfully, Robert Solomon has done it for me. This book does a terrific job of boiling down a very complicated and multi-faceted job into a few short chapters. In less than an hour, you'll learn everything you need to know to become an effective account manager. From developing strong strategies to building lasting relationships with clients to conducting yourself properly in meetings, this book has it all. Definitely required reading for anyone interested in entering (or staying) in the advertising business.

not a great bag

I bought this bag thinking that it would hold everything that Ineed to carry. Boy was I wrong. By the time I put his clothes and blanket in there was no room. also if you use the avent bottles you cant fit them in the bottle holders on the inside. If you keep the zipped bag in place you can hold even less. the only time I could use this bag was if I was going out for a short time. also the strap never stayed on my shoulder so it was very hard to juggel a baby abd the bag. I am still in search for a decent bag that holds enough for a whole day and then some.If you are thinking of buying this dont keep looking.

I have had two ER411 Nose and Ear Hair Groomers before making this recent purchase. I thought those ER411 groomers were perfect. You could cut on the end as well as the side making them very effective. Panasonic has changed the inner blade design so that it cuts only on the side. The old design was referred to as a curved blade design. Panasonic packaging still refers to the ER411 having the curved blade. In phone calls to Panasonic I have been told that the new design is in effect now.

Nice Bag - gonna 'test' this weekend

Received the bag on time - gonna try it in the colorado mountains (around 10K feet) this weekend (Memorial day 2009). Weather is to be cooler (about 30 deg F in the mornings) so we'll see how it works. It has plenty of space, very soft inside, feels warm in the "inside house" test. It completely filled the stuff sack it came in - so my only concern is how to get it back in there! I'll find out this evening... It is large even in the stuff sack, yet expectedly so as to it's intended size... First impressions - very nice! I gave it 4 stars as I haven't used it yet....

Roomy, but gets gross & dirty

We have a BIG toddler, and I truly commend the spaciousness of this model...BUT...Here are the reasons why I am now looking for a new highchair:1) The chair pad is SO hard to clean...it's not your average toss-in-the-washer pad. So....you can try to constantly spot-clean, but it gets dirtier, and dirtier, and dirtier. Then the flies start eyeballing your highchair.2) When you place the positioning of the seat lower, and your little one is a bit hyper (or perhaps still has a wobbly head), they will hit their head on the large, round side-hinge thingies. (This is my scientific name for them.)Seriously, I don't think our highchair could get much more gross. But before it does, I'm getting a new one. Perhaps the Fisher Price "Zen Highchair."

A single wire works better

Been gathering dust in my attic for 7 years, I took it down to see if it would improve the reception over the included thin wire with my new RX-A2000 receiver. It not only didn't improve it, it worsened it. Back to the attic, or frankly, to the garbage can. I wish I could say otherwise, but for me (a wood frame house, large metro area), it struggled to tune 100,000 watt stations.Your mileage may vary. I can't recommend.

This Biography Takes Too Many Short Cuts

I'm glad I didn't purchase this DVD. Only some brief widescreen glimpses of the coming-soon "Buffalo Bill..." got a rise out of me. The big disgrace is the obscenely short amount of time devoted to "Nashville"--and awful pan-and-scan footage at that! And the other, lesser-known films are relegated to still photos and Cinema 101 Narrator. It's always fascinating to see the old guy comment on the "Gingerbread Man" controversy, but I'm not sure that Mr. Altman would be too pleased with a program that barely mentions his own (admitted) favorite "Kansas City."Worst of all, the "filmography" lists a movie called "Secret HARBOR" from 1984. Where do I send my resume?

Best ps2 game ever

God of War 2 has the best playstation 2 graphics ever and it is set in ancient Greece. It seems like you are playing a next gen. game but really a ps2 one. The cutscenes and even when you are playing seems like it is of movie quality. The combat system is really unique in the way you kill your enemies. Like when you fight a cyclopse and it is worn down, you will climb up it and rip out its eye. You can also twist off a medusas head. The sound of God of War 2 is just as amazing as the graphics. There is also a bonus disc that has a lot of special features like deleted levels, the making of, and the actors doing their voice overs, as well as interviews. Overall this a really great action/adventure/fantasy game.

Takes Toby Keith To A New High

I found this CD, entertaining, fun and quirky. It is by far the best musically, with sophisticated arrangements including horns and strings. "Get Drunk and Be Somebody" is a pure Toby Keith, rock'n country song as is "I Ain't Already There". Then there are those Keith songs with quirky lyrics, like "Grain of Salt", "Can't Buy You Money" and "Hell No". My favorites are "Note to Self" and "A Little Too Late". If you love his voice, then you will love "Note to Self". "A Little Too Late" is a softer ballad that reminds me of "If I Didn't Know Now" (one of my all time favorites). "Ain't No Right Way" has a more traditional country sound. I love the CD and think any Toby Keith fan will too. There is something in there for everyone, rock'n country, sophisticated arrangements and some songs with a more traditional country feel. This one will certainly earn some new Toby Keith fans, so give it a listen.Essex tkifc

Groovin'

This is the second of a string of three Prestige albums Golson recorded in 1959. All three are top notch. On this one Golson is joined by Curtis Fuller (tb) Ray Bryant (p) Paul Chambers (b) and Art Blakey (d). This is hard bop at its finest. Two standards and three originals make up the tunes; all three originals are blues (THE STROLLER is up tempo and really cooks). Ray Bryant, an excellent blues interpretor on piano, is wonderful on these sides. Everyone came to play on this date, and the results are very solid.

Avery weatherproof labels have best adhesive, good for plastic long-term storage

These labels are the best I have found for sticking onto PLASTIC storage bins or totes (such as Rubbermaid Roughtotes), for long-term storage. Also good for cardboard moving cartons. Other labels quickly come loose. I have had especially bad luck with store brands. Now I only use the weatherproof line of labels from Avery when I need to label plastic items. I also use these for labeling packages to be mailed, because who knows what kind of weather a package will encounter during travel.I often just write on the labels, with a Sharpie permanent marker, rather than preparing printed labels. They seem to absorb the marker ink without smearing. Using the printer also works fine.Note that the photo for this item may show a different size of labels than what the text description indicates.

Absolutely the worst album of Marilyn Manson. I am a big fan of his music but I must say that. Buy this CD only if you need it desperately for your MM collection. It contains only a few not bad songs like (s)aint, mOBSCENE, Para-Noir and Vodevil and even those songs do not make this album worth of bying or even listening second time. It is a huge disappointment. Never expected such a weak album from such a great performer.

Poor Video Transfer

This is an absolutely terrible transfer. It is ridden with edge enhancement (halos on contrasting edges) and severe noise reduction (smoothing the image to reduce film grain -- AND detail). This is so severe that film elements such as arrows and spears in the battle at the beginning are not visible. It's barely an upgrade over DVD, and simply not what a movie of this caliber deserves. It is extremely unfortunate that such an outstanding movie has been treated so poorly. Stick with the DVD and don't buy this blu-ray disc.

Not what most theatre buffs would hope for

As one of the last important figures in 20th Century musical theatre, Tommy Tune was part of many important shows. One would hope his autobiography would include at least some insight into his performing and directing techniques -- but such is not the case here. As for his personal life, Mr. Tune shares a great deal -- but it is hard to rely on the frankness of someone who seems to change his sexual preferences as easily as most of us change clothes. And the chapter discussing the woman he wronged but refuses to name is so obvious in who it refers to that the author's sincerity rings false. Some interesting anecdotes and photos not found elsewhere, but overall a great disappointment.

A big build up to nothing.

An entire book dedicated to character building, and setting up the plot, only to have a deflated ending. Philip Roth goes through in excruciating detail about the Swede's childhood, and upbringing. Then he moves on to talk about his family, his work, and his troubles with his lost daughter. Throughout the whole book, it seemed like Philip was building up to a spectacular finale. However, the story instead ends abruptly with no real conclusion. I felt cheated. Where's the rest of the story?

This is a very decent microphone for the price. I use it with Audacity, and I'm able to create clear voice recordings.I do get a few pops on my "P's" and some other hard sounds, but I found that by moving my mouth away from the mic at an angle really helped that.Play with it a bit, test different angles and distances, and you should be able to find that perfect "spot".The mic is back-and-forth adjustable, the base has a lengthy USB cord, and there is also an on-and-off switch.A nice buy for the price ...
