0	skip it	The subtitle implies that this movie will show you the "true story" of the families' search for justice. Nothing could be further from the truth. This movie (which originally aired on the Lifetime Movie Channel) is a complete work of fiction. Once you get past that little detail, you are left with a poorly acted, low-budget mess. Save your money - skip this one.	negative
1	pat the best	It is always difficult to expect something new from Pat.People who enjoy his music always want more.This album shows that it is good to wait, because we are never dissapointed. This album confirms Pat as a great musician and he did a highly beautiful record which plays the ear's heart. I can't take this record out of my CD Player. Mario Rosa - Brazil	positive
1	HATARI is great!!	i bought this movie along with about 5 or 6 other john wayne movies and this is one of my favorits it fun to see how they used to catch animals and john wayne alway brings a special something to a movie and it also has some comedy in it. i would say this movie is a buy all the way great story has so comedy and john wayne is in it this move is just a all around great movie.	positive
0	Not up to her usual standards	As a rabid fan of Amanda Quick, when this book first came out, I was eager to get it. Once I started reading however, it was quickly apparent that this was not going to as good as her previous books. The plotline was weak, and I didn't particularly like the characters. Artemis was too dark and Madeline was too flaky. Tried as she might, I just couldn't get into this book. If you want to start reading Amanda Quick, start with 'With This Ring' and 'I Thee Wed', they are her best. Hopefully the next one will be better.	negative
1	Hauntingly beautiful	Up until last week, I had never heard of Chan "Cat Power" Marshall. That was until I picked up her latest album, "You Are Free". A collection of beautiful songs composed of slightly distorted guitar, jangly piano, and the occasional drum accompaniment by (who else?) Dave Grohl. Every song has a sort of fragile feel to them, like they may break at any moment. Eddie Vedder also lends his voice to the mix but rarely is it actually audible; usually it's used to harmonize with Chan's voice.There's some duds on the cd but for the most part, it's top-rate material, suitable for rainy days and cold nights. My biggest compliant isn't the songs on the cd but rather the packaging - it's some cardboard gatefold that feels like it might fall apart at anytime. Not due to poor construction but rather the stress that is placed on it every time you take out or put in the cd or put in or take out the linear notes. I guess everything can't be perfect.	positive
1	Excellent snowboard and skateboard footage	This DVD was a lot shorter than I was expecting it to be (only about 30 minutes), but a lot of great footage is packed into the short space. Terrific coverage of Shaun White's amazing career, beginning with family videos of him at about age 4 on the snowboard (he was amazing even then) and lots of training and competition shots from California, Utah, New Zealand, and Japan. Interviews with his parents, Tony Hawk, and other skaters. Great soundtrack; overall a very well done disc.	positive
1	My Son Loves This!	I bought this for my 8-yr old son who says he wants to be a paleontologist when he grows up. I love that it was not necessarily easy to uncover the bones, he did it little by little over several days. Yes it was messy that didn't bother us, easy clean up. The bones were flexible so you didn't have to worry about breaking them as you uncovered them. We also used a little chisel to help as someone else had noted. We are just putting it together today so I can't yet vouch for how well it will stay together. Taking other's comments into consideration though.	positive
0	6 month life	I expect a back up drive to last more than 6 months. The drive beeps but the computer doesn't recognize it. I tried different cables and different computers. Same result,,, not found. I won't buy another Seagate as this seems to be a common problem. (see Seagate website forums)	negative
0	yea its good but 1 season split into 2 for more cash is stupid	its funny but i refuse to buy a season thats split into 2 just to make more money. ppl shouldn't pay for ripoff. 1 full season yea its worth buying, 60$ on both parts of 1 season umm no	negative
1	Works perfectly, perfect price	I've ordered two of these over the past few months and both have worked like a dream. I love that it's straight to the point - minimal packaging and all cable. I see absolutely no difference between this cable and a $25 one I got (and subsequently replaced) from Target. It's worked consistently since I plugged it in. The quality of the cable itself is identical to the ones you see in stores. I know it feels weird to spend so little on something we're convinced we need to shell out tons of dough for, but this thing is seriously just as good for a fraction of the price.	positive
1	Love it.	I absolutely love this product! I have small children and someone that is particularly sensitive to smells in my house and I can use this product without complaint. I originally bought it to clean stainless steel pots, and have since found it has so many uses. It cleans sinks really well and does great on removing stains! Cost-effective, almost smell free and not as harsh as other cleaners. Great product!	positive
1	magazine order	I purchased a Dog Fancy magazine subscription for my mother as a Christmas gift. An email was delivered to her as promised and she received the first issue of the magazine last week, earlier than expected. I am very pleased with Amazon for offering subscriptions. Not only did I get the magazine at a competitive price, as an added bonus I received a $10 promotional discount for a purchase at Amazon by ordering an additional magazine subscription.	positive
1	Bought it for a class.	Satisfied because I learned through this book for my class. Would recommend for beginners and students who are taking a pre-calculus class.	positive
1	David and Goliath Gridiron	Although the actors are unknown, they do a fair job in telling a story about a small Christian school that goes to the state championship to face the largest, toughest high school in the state.It is a worthy film about overcoming unsurmountable odds that any family could profit from, especially families with young children.	positive
1	A good old classic	These songs are really good. My favorites are Ruby Tuesday, and Baby I need your loving. I have listened to this crusing down the highway with the windows down and brings back old memories. It is worth buying, don't expect a Gem, but expect some good classic songs.	positive
0	Great idea...BAD execution	Overall, I thought this was a nice idea. How long have we wrestling fans wanted a "scale" ring? Unfortunately, the execution of the idea is lacking. The problem stems from the metal poles going into plastic braces and the ropes being so tight, that the plastic braces just don't hold up. The longest I, personally, have seen a ring stay together is 3 weeks or so. That's with no playing...just standing figures in it. I'm thinking of either glueing everything together or getting red whit and blue elastic to try and remake the ropes so they aren't as tight. Maybe both.	negative
1	THIS IS IT THE TRUELY GREAT THING!	Another lovely album full of spunk. I can never say enough about the greatness of Sebadoh. Just when your ready to smash your head into the wall, a beautiful love song begins. Bravo!	positive
0	Was going to give raves	My friend and I both bought this. We loved the cool retro look and the promise of it keeping our hair dryer. And it get high marks on both counts. However, after having it about a month, both of us found it had developed tears.	negative
0	DID NOT FIT!!	WHEEL LOCKS WERE CHEAP AND SHIP QUICKLY THE ONLY PROBLEM WAS THAT I BASED THE SIZE ON THE SIZE BAR AND IT SAID THAT IT FIT SO I BOUGHT THEM AND COME TO FIND OUT THAT THEY WERE THE WRONG SIZE THE SIZE I NEEDED WAS A 14 X 1.5.. SO MAKE SURE THAT YOU KNOW THE SIZE BEFORE YOU BUY DONT TRUST THAT SIZE BAR.	negative
0	Absolutely worthless	I agree with the other reviews. There is very little heat from these things, even after switching to new batteries. A complete waste of money.	negative
1	You'll like this!	Wow! My wife bought me this novel because she knew I liked The Man with the Red Tattoo. That was, of course, a James Bond novel. So, my childhood biases were there to make me buy it in the first place. Having this other R.B. novel in front of me, I decided to give it a read. I was not disappointed. The characters and story are well-developed, and you are drawn to them and the action of novel as soon as you pick it up. I really think that R.B. is a talented storyteller. You will not be disappointed.	positive
0	Oh, SO Boring!	There are a couple of pretty melodies in this show, but it was pretty much a snoozer!	negative
1	This was the Scariest book I've ever read.	I read this book two months ago, I admit the first of it was a little slow but in about pages 20 it starts to pick up, I couldn't put it down! I read it in about 3 days because once I started to read it I couldn't stop reading it! I bought the book because the movie scard the life out of me and I wanted to read the book to see if it would be better, and it was! I recommand this book to everyone!	positive
1	Still intact... 1 week so far...	I thought this ball was devoured, but it was under the sofa! So far my sister's pit bull mix and laborador mix haven't eaten it! The other ball given at the same time is still intact which is the Planet Dog Orbee-Tuff Cosmos Dog Toy. The only toy that has lasted more than a year is the Westpaw Zogoflex Hurley bone.	positive
0	Might as well be spraying water	The first time I sprayed this on my furniture, my cat trotted right over and spent five minutes smelling the furniture. It did not repel him at all and had no affect on his scratching behavior. I later tried theSticky Paws Tapeand had success with that, although it looks really bad having strips of tape on the furniture. I really would have liked for this repellant to work, but I could have had the same results from spraying water on my furniture.	negative
0	Disappointing	The first book in this trilogy was an engaging and thoughtful thriller, a what-if change in history. The 2nd and 3rd parts after Christ clone veer more towards preaching without the hook of a good novel. Too bad.	negative
0	CmdrZero	Have used Memorex DVD+R 4x non-printable disc for DVD backup with no problems for months using a Plextor 712A. I then started using the Memorex printables with the print surface ending before the center hole. Now comes these printables with the surface covering the entire top surface, all the way to the center hole. I`ve had a 100% failure rate using these junkers (10 for 10 out of 100 pack). Avoid at all costs!!. I am changing to a different manufacturer. No more printables for me.	negative
1	A long and engrossing read...	Overall, I really enjoyed this book. It was a somewhat arduous read, especially for the first quarter of it or so, but after you get to know the characters--in both past and present--it becomes hard to put it down. It gives a lot of background about the Cathars and the Crusades, which I found very interesting and useful; however, this information is not so dry and overwhelming that it ruins the flavor of romance and mystery that this book has to offer. It was fulfilling right up to the final pages. I definitely recommend it for somebody looking for something a little different from the typical Dan Brown-esque novels on the bookshelves currently.	positive
0	Is this a joke?	I have never seen a book more poorly written, perhaps with the exception of a story written by a third grader. It is almost as if the book were never read before publishing. There are so many grammatical errors it is almost comical. To top it off, the stories are weak and the plot lines are ridiculous. I would honestly be ashamed to admit to having written this piece [...]	negative
1	product does the job	Earring holder holds around 80 pairs of earrings which is just what my mom needed for all her earrings. The only thing I would change about this holder would be to alter the distance between each row to accommodate different length earrings. But my mom is using it right now and loves it.	positive
1	Zane Bond..a unique character	Wow...1000 words.....I'd need a library to tell you about Zane Bond........I've known this gent for over 30 years and he is a Michelangelo..still in the works.I have travelled the USA with Zane....certainly an unusual way of perceiving life. I would reccomend this book to those who are looking for an escape from the mundane.Power packed with rip-roaring anecdotes.I would safely say you will enjoy the book in its entirety.Zane told me he will refund anyones money 10x if they donot think this is the greatest book ever published!!	positive
0	Is This Release Necessary?	New rule: all blues records recorded by aging white rock giants automatically should automatically receive two stars, meaning neither here nor there. Only on "Milkcow's Calf Blues" does Clapton give his listeners a surprise.For more reviews, visit http://unpaidrockcritic.typepad.com	negative
0	Returned Item	The sound was fine. The problem was after less than 1 week if I paid $93.00 for them I do not expect the ear foam piece on the left side to come off from just removing them from my head. Amazon is very cool about returning an item because they are on the way today. Some people may think it is a easy fix but I looked at thinking if this happens in less than one week I am returning them I will use my $25 Sennheiser headphones until I decide my next decision but sorry it will not be a replacement of the same. Thanks Gin for your help.	negative
1	Great book!	I read it cover to cover. Thoroughly enjoyed it. I would recommend it to everyone getting into the "business" as they call it.	positive
1	Funny and silly	I read this book to a group of preschool children at storytime at our local Zoo. When I first read it to myself, I thought it was a rather silly book, but the children thought it was wonderful and couldn't stop laughing. I would recommend it.	positive
0	I am done...	Have been a justified fan since the beginning but I noticed this season the writers going too far. This last episode, "Guy Walks Into a Bar" just pushed the line beyond what I want to watch. No thanks to naked child molesters. I enjoyed Rayland's character but enough is enough...cancelled my amazon pre purchase of the whole season.	negative
0	What a waste of time!	We rented this movie last night and became so bored with it, we turned it off midway. The 1st five minutes with the false trailers are mildly amusing and so we thought we were in for some belly laughs. Nothing could be further from the truth. The premise had potential, but there is nothing funny about this movie, no snappy dialogue, no quick comebacks, not once did we laugh after the opening. Sure, it has star potential, but the script was just awful, the characters weren't even decent parodies. Reviewers who say this is a good movie are just pandering to its extraordinary cast, but it was painfully clear that none of the cast actually read the book, er script (one of the "jokes" in the movie), and put it all together. The best thing about the movie was the panoramic scenery, which was gratuitously blown up, over and over. If you want belly laughs, see Step Brothers. Ben Stiller, you need new writing partners. I wonder if Will Ferrel is available?	negative
1	Excellent quality image.	We purchased this my wife's grandmother who loves Sound of Music. She only recently got blu-ray and a large flat-screen, so I was dying to see how things looked all together (and force her to use it at least once while we were there). ;) We put it in, and I was floored. The image quality is fantastic. In fact, it's almost too good at times- almost looks fake. But- I think this was ultimately due to the settings she had on her flat-screen. [Someone pumped it up to vivid settings with extra sharpness I believe.] However, even with the settings not optimal (or rather as I'd prefer them), it was obvious that this release was the best in video quality out there. Colors and textures were clean and clear- not muddy. I remember watching it late-night on the old TV and it was horrible quality compared to this. Almost like you're in the movie-theater watching it's release. Fantastic!	positive
0	Downhill.....try Dreaming of You	I don't read any romance novels EXCEPT for Lisa Kleypas, a strange habit I picked up when she came out with her first (now out of print) book.She makes a point to explore different kinds of love, and she is a great sensualist, and can be quite funny.But....her older work is so much better, it's stunning. It's as if all the rich detail she used to put in her early books is too much effort, and now we get the barest, sketchiest description. She's actually a good writer, but if you've never read her before, try "Dreaming of You".	negative
1	LOVING ANNABELLE	IT WAS A VERY INTERESTING MOVIE! THE ONLY THING THAT MADE ME GIVE IT 4 STARS INSTEAD OF 5, IT WAS NOT LONG ENOUGH AND COULD OF HAD A MORE DETAILED ENDING. ALL IN ALL I HIGHLY RECOMEND IT!	positive
0	One star too many	This was, possibly, the worst movie I have ever seen in my life. The film lacked a convincing plot throughout. The acting was poor to trite at best. And, the special effects were an awe inspiring waste of resources, money, and time.I'd much rather watch an Ed Wood film...on "special edition".	negative
1	Insightful	"The Queen of Everything" by Deb Caletti is a remarkable portrayal of life as we know it. Jordan Mackenzie, the heroine of this story, shows her troubles and way of dealing with life with incredible feistiness, insight, humor, and sarcasm. Despite all of the problems that Jordan is trying to deal with, she still communicates with us on a level that is basic, but complex, as she finds ways of describing the most basic things beautifully on a whole other level. The author's interpretation of life is apparent through Jordan's eyes and this extraordinarily funny, poignant, and fast-paced story is one that you will be sure to enjoy.	positive
0	Poor wireless signal	I used for several months with not very good pointing. Then the mouse continue to point slowly and incorrectly. Finally I found it was too far away from the USB receiver. But actually I always put the mouse within the length of a notebook. So I have to move closer to the receiver, you know how far does it start to work? right under the USB receiver!!! and it won't work even with a distance of a mouse. I have make sure the battery is fully charged.	negative
0	Plenty of bells & whisles, but poor image scanning	I've always been a big fan of Canon's scanners, but the Canoscan 3000f really let me down. I've been using the Canoscan n1240u and have always liked the great colors and vivid scans. I decided to upgrade to the new 3000f, manily because it will scan negatives and slides. Unfortunately, the reproduction quality on these types of scans are not very good. The color reproduction is very poor and the image quality, even at extremely high resolutions is not as true as it is on some of the less expensive Canon scanners. Even after having spent a lot of time working with various settings and options in the scanning software, the quality was still not as good as I would like to have seen. Hopefully Canon will get these problems fixed with their next line of film & photographic scanners.	negative
1	Seasons Greetings	Seasons Tall Pink Salmon, 14.75-Ounces (Pack of 12)Flavorful but mild tasting firm chunks of salmon, no additives other than salt. Superior to national brands because of taste, texture, ratio of fish to broth (almost none) and cost per serving. Great price on Amazon with a clearance special but even retail would have been a good value.	positive
1	WE LOVE OUR TODDY	According to the manufacturer, these filters should be replaced every three months, or after 12 uses. Since they don't appear to wear out, and not being a scientist, I was curious as to why they needed to be replaced. I was told - DUH, that it is because of the bacteria that grows on them. I pretty much stay within thee usage guidelines, but before each use, I put the filter in boiling for 10 minutes. I feel safe keeping and using them for 3 months before replacing them. I also put them in a NEW storage baggie after each use, and after rinsing them.Also, I have two separate filters in the refrigerator at all times, one for coffee and one for tea - the best iced tea we have ever had.	positive
1	One of the most touching movies ever made.	Unconditional love, tolearance that's what this movie is about. Anti-Semistism, absoutley not. Go to the movie with an open heart and open mind. You would have to be heartless not to leave the theatre without feeling something. The flashbacks scenes that Virgin Mary has were moving. The movie left me emotionally drained; however, it's a touching piece of art. Well done Mel! Well done! You deserve it. I'm going to see it again that's for sure. I can't wait till it comes out on DVD.	positive
0	not a good read.	the title caught me, as did what the back of the book said. however, the book itself didn't really speak to me. it spoke at me, which was very annoying. there was too much psychological talk, and it all seemed like a memory. the author didn't do a great job at switching from past to present. another thing that bothered me, was the fact that the plot buildup was weak. it just basically talks about cecilia's death the whole time, and then skips immiediatly to the ending. the ending itself did not offer much closure to the novel. some may like it, however it didn't really hit home with me.	negative
0	Hey, Steve. Is that you or your evil twin? I can't tell	Ken Follett's "The Third Twin" gave away the plot from the first chapter and kept giving away the next plot twist way too soon. No surprises. Supposedly very intelligent people making incredible stupid mistakes. You would think that once you suspected your boyfriend was one of a set of identical clone's, had your life threatened by one, and your best friend raped by one, that you would figure out a way to "certify" the good one. Well Jeannie, doesn't until she's almost raped for the SECOND time. She goes to incredible lengths to obtain her prized list of clone names on diskette and hands it to her boyfriend saying "Be careful, it's the only copy". I think the first thing any reasonable person would do with a "one of kind" data disk is make a backup, copy it to an email and send it off to a few friends, right? All in all a weak story.	negative
1	Never get lost again!	Bought this for my mother, and used it right after Christmas. Product work straight out of package. It is fairly accurate, took it on a long trip. Battery lasts about 3 hours. On a 6 hour drive, we had to use the included d/c power cord.This device is good for entry level. Has SD card slot for updates, and bluetooth for your cellphone. Great turn by turn, only had one Error in its map on our drive.All in All a good device, just need to use some common sense and it will server you well.	positive
0	Dated and Dull	I do not recommend this book at all! If you are going to start with a good Buddhist book start with The Joy of Living by Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche or A Path With Heart by Jack Kornfield.	negative
1	wonderfully written and informative	I found this to be a well written, high quality book that should prove to be a great read for anyone. The language is easy to understand which makes it a good leisure read but at the same time it provides a wealth of information about wildlife, habitats, environments, and interactions that, as a grad student, I still found very interesting and informative.	positive
1	Great read	Although this book was about something so awful and devastating I was unable to put it down because it was so good. This is the second story that I've read from Jodi Picoult. I really enjoy the style Jodi Picoult writes her stories, from then to now, and getting all character's perspectives. This was the second book I've read from this author and I can't wait to read another!	positive
0	Needed more classics... bottom line...	The original release from VHS "Saturday Night Live Goes Commercial" was much better. This seems like "The best of Will Ferral commercials". Many greats missing... "Jewess Jeans", "Big Red", "Shimmer Floor Wax & Dessert Topping", "Velvet Jones", "Swill" and "Compulsion" to name a mere few...Glad to see "Cluckin' Chicken", "Happy Fun Ball", etc. I REALLY wat to find "Action Cats". It's nice to have in the collection- no doubt, but there need to be a lot more classics. It's VERY heavy on recent and current casts.Chad Koenig	negative
1	Great Watch	This is a very elegant watch at a terrific price. Bracelet will probably need to be resized. Highly recommended if available.	positive
1	3.5 Star Decent Suspense/Horror Movie	**SPOILER FREE REVIEW**I love how the movie starts off normal then slowly takes us into the realm of Horror. This type of genre "good child whom is really evil" is starting to be a bit over done and well traversed. Be that as it may, this movie was decent. Acting is superb, Rene of course can really do no wrong.The child actress is phenonmenal as well (where do they find these kids?)The introduction of the supernatural feels organic, I was fine with more or less everything.When I think of this movie, I think of a diet version of "The Ring".Not too bad. I'd give it 3.5 stars but Amazon doesn't do the 1/2 star thing so I gave it 4 stars.	positive
0	More of the same.	I have great respect for artists who can write and perform their own music. Jewel is a beautiful woman with a beautiful voice, but with these trite lyrics and melodies she should really get some assistance with her writing. I'd like to hear a song by her called "Screw You All! I Used to Live in a Car!" or something to break the monotony of her "cheerfully spiritual" lyrics. There are some pleasant tunes on this album, but nothing that you can distinguish from anything she's done on this album or her last. I'd love to hear her do some covers of old tunes like "Natural Woman," "Just One Look," etc. Maybe she should team with Layne Staley from Alice in Chains. That would be some pairing and we can get some less perky lyrics. "Down in a Hole With Jewel." Actually that would be a rather cheerful experience for me. Never mind...Having said all that, this album will probably sell like hotcakes and please hardcore Jewel fans. I think she is capable of much more.	negative
1	This book is thrilling, and keeps you turning the pages!	Meg by Steve Alten was exciting. I was amazed at how real his theory could be, books aren't just for entertainment, they are the begining of "What ifs" This book along with others I've read tell me this Megolodon could actually be. This book not only scared me, but sparked my knowledge key, learning about this historic creature, stunned me. It's worse than Jaws, bigger, and more vicious. Meg was awsome, I was so engulfed in this book I couldn't put it down! I recomnd this book to any avid or nonavid reader, it will keep you on your toes, and make you think what lurks under you when you swim, what was that small flash of light?	positive
1	Facial Treatment	My daughter requested a Microdermabrasion kit for Christmas and I am sure she will love this one by Revlon.	positive
0	Incredible	The only drawback about democracy is that any idiot can write anything and claim that it represents the truth. You would have to take a lot of quotes out of context, misrepresent a lot of history, make up some facts, ignore others, and basically have intellectual ability of a chipmunk to come up with conclusions like this author has.	negative
1	Not a fan	I purchased the kindle version from Amazon. I rooted against the Celtics during the period covered in the book. Rooting for them would be like rooting for the Yankees. I did admire the talent on the team and respected them. I remember the players well and enjoyed the book very much. I would recommend it to anyone who followed the NBA during that period.	positive
0	Worst album of the year	This album is simply awful. I didn't think Limp Bizkit could get much worse after Significant Other, but they have proven me wrong with their newest album. Musically, it's the same thing over and over, with no real originality in any song. Lyrically, Fred Durst shows his stunted vocabulary focuses around the 'F' word, making sure to put this in every line of every song. On this album, you can start to hear the repetition of the same phrases over and over, because Fred has nothing in his empty head to work with. This album represents a rap album, where the music is not strong enough on its own, so the services of a more talented individual are called upon to try to salvage something. The overuse of guest appearances on this album show how weak the songs really are. I don't think Limp Bizkit has anywhere else to go after this album. This style of music is dying fast, and hopefully Limp Bizkit will too	negative
0	DEFECTIVE DVD	When on videotape, this probably was great! The content and videography and sound are fantastic! Unfortunately, my DVD repeatedly froze up and I returned the product. I was sent another and it also would freeze. I suspect when it was transferred from videotape to DVD an overly aggressive anti-copying scheme was employed which makes this product unusable. I have tried it on different DVD players, as well as computers, and it simply freezes up! DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT UNTIL THE DEFECTS HAVE BEEN CLEARED UP. (I'm referring to the "For Women" version. The "For Men" version is fine.)	negative
1	THIS IS A SIN!_GREATEST TOM TOM CLUB ALBUM EVER_WHERE IS THE CD?	As stated by MANY MANY MANY reviewers, this "CLOSE TO THE BONE" is HANDS DOWN, TOM TOM CLUB's CROWNING ACHIEVEMENT!!! (So I really don't understand why it's so hard for the record/CD company to get their sh*! together and release this already..it would OBVIOUSLY MAKE ALOT OF MONEY!!!) After recovering much of my 80's collection on CD, this is an ACHING SOAR SPOT!!! My cassette tape has worn out from over 25 years of use. Nothing will ever be better than "PLEASURE OF LOVE" and "THE MAN WITH THE 4-WAY HIPS" but the whole album FLOWS together and their is truthfully not one bad track on "CLOSE TO THE BONE"...it should REALLY be RELEASED ON CD in IT'S FULL ENTIRITY!!! I could never get sick of this album. I am thrilled to read that many people are still "discovering" them and guess what?... THEY ALL WANT THIS CD! PLEASE RELEASE TOM TOM's "CLOSE TO THE BONE" on CD NOW!!!	positive
0	Great game itself, Worst buy from Amazon...	I've always loved the Army Men series, even the games that had horrible reviews were great to me. During my childhood, I had several favorites, this one being one of them. When I saw that this game was being sold on here, I instantly got it. It said it would ship between December 14th, and january 2nd. After waiting days for it, I finally got it today (12/22/2012)and when I installed it and hit play... nothing happened. I know it's not my computer because Army Men II, Star Wars: Empire At War- Forces of Corruption, and Age of Empires III: Complete Collection all run perfectly fine on it (they aren't installed at the same time). I don't know why it won't play, but my guess is it's something to do with the game itself. I most likely won't be buying from this seller anytime soon.	negative
1	Great voice	This is a great cd, really enjoyed listening to the Italian songs I grew up to. Very powerful voice and the cd includes lots of nice Italian love songs...	positive
0	A perfect example of why "sola scriptura" is childish.	This book does a decent job of listing the inconsistencies and reasons that sola scriptura and biblical inerrancy are corrupt doctrines. Unforunately (for Archer) that isn't the goal of this work. The explanations he gives for the various contradictions are weak and unconvincing. This book convinced me that the fundamentalist view of biblical inspiration is faulty. Fortunately I realized after some study that biblical inerrancy and sola scriptura aren't the historic view of scripture. ...	negative
0	Sony Vaio PCGGRT260G - junk	My husband spent close to $3000.00 for the vaio notebook - it was my Christmas present 12/03. Now the video card does not function at all. The notebook is 15 months old and useless. I will never buy another Sony product. The part is $274.33 - I will use my reliable desktop, we have three Compaq computers that have funtioned fine for years. I have had it with sony. When it did work I would ask for help with some of the programs, they always directed me to on line help. I give up the notebook is sitting on the desk, I keep it dusted - can you imagine how disappointed I am with the entire Sony corporation. Fool me once shame on me, fool me twice shame on them.Mrs. Donna RobertsonDonnaleecr@aol.com	negative
1	nice color screen	I finally gave in and upgraded from the Handspring visor Edge to the Sony Clie SJ22. I use my handheld mostly for addresses and appointments, and I check a medication database multiple times each day at work. I wanted a good color screen and a basic package. I got both of these. I don't mind the lack of a docking cradle. I don't use Outlook for contacts and appointments, so I have not had any similar problems to the earlier reviewers.	positive
1	Almost 20 years of use	I am on this site to purchase more of this classic flatware. We have lost several pieces over the years and it is time to replace them. My family has used this flatware on a daily basis after receiving them as a wedding gift in 1988. They have worn very well and the stying is modern but classic. Time to buy a few more.	positive
0	Blurry, Faded, and Flat	This print arrived today; as soon as I unrolled it I realized I had made a mistake with this purchase. The quality is worse than if I had printed it on "fast draft" on my inkjet printer. The colors are incredibly under saturated, the contrast is extremely low, and the details are blurry.The original work is dark, and bright, with every shade of red and gold and grey. This is predominantly beige and brownish-orange. I never expected them to be able to replicate the actual metallic paint in the "5" in the center, but the colors of this whole print are way off.Furthermore, the entire painting is not on this print- about an inch all the way around is missing- in the original painting, on the right hand side, the window says "...ART CO." however this print has the "CO." cut off.This print is going in the trash.	negative
0	I'm suffering...!	Second in the Aisling Grey, Guardian urban fantasy series that somehow allows Aisling Grey to live. God knows why.My TakeThis has to have been the stupidest heroine I have ever encountered. I kept reading because I kept hoping she would somehow, miraculously stop being such an incredible idiot! There just had to be something redeeming in this crap.She jumps in with both feet. She never listens to anyone. She gets angry when things don't go her way. Which they almost never do because she never listens to anyone. She never stops to find out what the ramifications of anything might be. She's an absolute, complete, and total moron. I haven't much respect for Drake either, because he keeps wanting to be around her.I know this isn't how I normally do a review, but I'll just become furious if I have to spend any more time with this absolute twit.	negative

0	The Deliberate Stranger	I purchased this 2-DVDs movie. When I received it, it was only DVD # 1 which could be played, #2 was totally destroyed.

1	Strange and excellent work	If Brian Wilson and John Lennon had co-written a record and allowed Tom Waits to produce it, Deserter's Songs is what it might sound like. It has a retro feel but the songs themselves are haunting, repetative, and shimmer in the distance. I guess the musical saw is a cliche, but I haven't heard too much of it, and I think that here it works. However, if you are expecting rock and roll, go far elseware. This has more in common with classical leider and Brecht-Weil songs than it does Indie rock.	positive
0	Embarassingly bad....	"Love Song For a Raven" had the potential to be fantastic, but the writing and the dialogue were so flowery and ridiculous that I couldnt help but cringe. I thought that the characters were woefully underdeveloped and the love between them blossomed so fast that it bordered on unbelievable. Raven was ok..but his whole "Gratitude/Love" thing grew tired..and Janna was just plain annoying...I would have given this only 1 star, but it IS an Elizabeth Lowell and this was OBVIOUSLY one of her earlier efforts. All in all I definitely would NOT recommend this.	negative

0	What IS this CRAP?	GARBAGE!!!!!!!!This is NOT The Phantom of the Opera - It's JAZZ!!! Which is fine, but there's one problem: Its NAME is "The Best Of Phantom." IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA!!!!! At the very least, the name should reflect this, but it doesn't. Jazz is a splendid art form, but "Jazz" is Not - I repeat: NOT in any way, shape, or form synonymous with "The Phantom Of The Opera." Get the REAL soundtrack. Its worth the money, because this is pure GARBAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!	negative
0	Started leaking after only two and half months	At first we thought that it had somehow gotten blown off, and rain had gotten in, but we have since had three rains and it was secured well, and the middle of the tarp still leaks.For the price and the fact that it is made of heavy material, we expected that it would last a while. Certainly longer than a few months.We missed the deadline for filing a claim by about one week!Not pleased at all.Now we will have to get a new tarp that does block the rain.	negative
1	Excellent explanations of difficult topics	The author, David Kahn does a superb job of explaining in clear, simple, casual manner many of the more difficult topics cover on the AP Calculus exams. He provides numerous step-by-step instructions of how to master many types of problems and also gives a lot of quick tips and tricks. He has obviously had much experience teaching this course. This book is amazingly easy, even fun, to read. There are numerous examples, practice problems and actual exam-type questions. I found this book organized and written in a way that makes it stand out from all other books of its type. I especially found it more readable and useful than the long-time favorite in its class - Baron's AP Calc. Review.	positive
0	Waste of Money	This system seemed like a bargain and worked just fine for about 6 months but then the player had trouble syncing audio with video, would get stuck loading discs and have to be reset and now, after only about 18 months of occasional use, the front display (the little LCD screen) has gone out. Everything seems to work well enough but it's anyone's guess what function you're on since the screen doesn't display anymore. Hate to chuck it but there seems to be no solid answer as to how to fix it on any website I've searched. Too bad; I thought Samsung made better stuff than that.	negative
0	cheap	this would be a great alarm/radio if both dual alarm capability worked and Ipod function worked as well. By the time I found out these functions didn't work it was past the 10 day return period. Very disappointed with this purchase.	negative
0	Buy it only if you need tinder for your fireplace	"Check it out! I can use the cool military acronyms too!"That's what this book screamed at me when I read it. Slater's artistic license should be permanently revoked over this book: the US military is depicted as being so inept and stupid that they'd surrender to your average Pokemon armed with a Taco Bell Chalupa. The cover is misleading; there's no air combat at all. To top it off, the miltia freaks are depicted as more organized than they probably are in real life: gun control is not a big enough issue to foment a rebellion around, and the whole war would probably turn into an American version of the Indian Mutiny of 1857.The only frightening thing about this scenario is that it spawned sequels. Anybody who thinks Slater's better than Tom Clancy should know that Clancy at least researches his material.	negative
0	Pirates of the Carribean	I found this game to be one of the most difficult, most poorly documented and least intuitive games I ever played.You start off the game with a crewmember to lead you through the start of the game. From there, you continue on your own. There is no primer on how to sail a ship. There is a minimal trainer on sword fighting but little feedback on how you're doing so you can modify your actions.After getting my ship sunk in a storm twice, getting sunk by random ships attacking me three times (including just showing up at my home port)and getting no feedback or instruction on how to survive those events or how to avoid them, I gave up and quit the game.	negative
0	Same Old	The first five stories are the same story over and over: girl is taken away from family (who hasn't had that fantasy?)to a sumptuous palace/castle/manse, enchanted male sneaks into her room or she into his. He takes her and in some way or other is transformed into a prince. I really didn't find the fantasies erotic for adults. I am surprised to find that her research concluded that women's fantasies are centered around fairy tales. Just did not do it for me.	negative

0	How did 24 survive this season?	I came to 24 late - season 5 - and was hooked. I then purchased all the previous years. Year 1 is awful. It spends too much time with the Kim Bauer character who is a whiney, wimpy, loud, obnoxious teenager. Jack deserves better. I guess she is there to get the teen boy audience to tune in or closet child molesters. As to the DVD, the plot line is turgid and the acting is uninspiring. If I had started out with year 1 I would not have gotten any farther. As it were I could only get through the first three CDs before trashing it. Year 2 is much, much better. The Kim blight is still there doing meaningless stuff and screaming a lot but you can fast forward. Thankfully she appeared hardly at all in Season 5. If you are interested in 24 avoid this one.	negative
0	don't believe the hype	I am an old school gamer,dating back to 1991.I have basically played all of the easports,sporting games.This game by far is the worst i have ever seen,especially after having played MADDEN 2002.I found this version to be very slow and boring.What's with all the rim shots?Can anybody sink an all net shot?Eventhough the graphics are much more defined, they still have that polygon look to them.The dunks are effortless,and i found it very easy to move around the opponents,who seem to stand around until you move their way.Overall the game is a little on the weak side when compared to the great "nba lives" of the past.The kids will love it, but true ballers know there is a lot more they could have done with this version.Hopefully,the programmers will do a better job with 2003.

It was increasingly hard to concentrate on the story because thw writing style is that of a very bad computer game dialog or plot writer. It was almost physicallypainful to read. it is one of the only books i stopped reading in the middle in the past 20 years. it was that bad.	negative

skip it

The subtitle implies that this movie will show you the "true story" of the families' search for justice. Nothing could be further from the truth. This movie (which originally aired on the Lifetime Movie Channel) is a complete work of fiction. Once you get past that little detail, you are left with a poorly acted, low-budget mess. Save your money - skip this one.

It is always difficult to expect something new from Pat.People who enjoy his music always want more.This album shows that it is good to wait, because we are never dissapointed.

Not up to her usual standards

As a rabid fan of Amanda Quick, when this book first came out, I was eager to get it. Once I started reading however, it was quickly apparent that this was not going to as good as her previous books. The plotline was weak, and I didn't particularly like the characters. Artemis was too dark and Madeline was too flaky. Tried as she might, I just couldn't get into this book. If you want to start reading Amanda Quick, start with 'With This Ring' and 'I Thee Wed', they are her best. Hopefully the next one will be better.

Hauntingly beautiful

Up until last week, I had never heard of Chan "Cat Power" Marshall. That was until I picked up her latest album, "You Are Free". A collection of beautiful songs composed of slightly distorted guitar, jangly piano, and the occasional drum accompaniment by (who else?) Dave Grohl. Every song has a sort of fragile feel to them, like they may break at any moment. Eddie Vedder also lends his voice to the mix but rarely is it actually audible; usually it's used to harmonize with Chan's voice.There's some duds on the cd but for the most part, it's top-rate material, suitable for rainy days and cold nights. My biggest compliant isn't the songs on the cd but rather the packaging - it's some cardboard gatefold that feels like it might fall apart at anytime. Not due to poor construction but rather the stress that is placed on it every time you take out or put in the cd or put in or take out the linear notes. I guess everything can't be perfect.

Excellent snowboard and skateboard footage

This DVD was a lot shorter than I was expecting it to be (only about 30 minutes), but a lot of great footage is packed into the short space. Terrific coverage of Shaun White's amazing career, beginning with family videos of him at about age 4 on the snowboard (he was amazing even then) and lots of training and competition shots from California, Utah, New Zealand, and Japan. Interviews with his parents, Tony Hawk, and other skaters. Great soundtrack; overall a very well done disc.

My Son Loves This!

I bought this for my 8-yr old son who says he wants to be a paleontologist when he grows up. I love that it was not necessarily easy to uncover the bones, he did it little by little over several days. Yes it was messy that didn't bother us, easy clean up. The bones were flexible so you didn't have to worry about breaking them as you uncovered them. We also used a little chisel to help as someone else had noted. We are just putting it together today so I can't yet vouch for how well it will stay together. Taking other's comments into consideration though.

Works perfectly, perfect price

I've ordered two of these over the past few months and both have worked like a dream. I love that it's straight to the point - minimal packaging and all cable. I see absolutely no difference between this cable and a $25 one I got (and subsequently replaced) from Target. It's worked consistently since I plugged it in. The quality of the cable itself is identical to the ones you see in stores. I know it feels weird to spend so little on something we're convinced we need to shell out tons of dough for, but this thing is seriously just as good for a fraction of the price.

I absolutely love this product! I have small children and someone that is particularly sensitive to smells in my house and I can use this product without complaint. I originally bought it to clean stainless steel pots, and have since found it has so many uses. It cleans sinks really well and does great on removing stains! Cost-effective, almost smell free and not as harsh as other cleaners. Great product!

Great idea...BAD execution

Overall, I thought this was a nice idea. How long have we wrestling fans wanted a "scale" ring? Unfortunately, the execution of the idea is lacking. The problem stems from the metal poles going into plastic braces and the ropes being so tight, that the plastic braces just don't hold up. The longest I, personally, have seen a ring stay together is 3 weeks or so. That's with no playing...just standing figures in it. I'm thinking of either glueing everything together or getting red whit and blue elastic to try and remake the ropes so they aren't as tight. Maybe both.

Wow! My wife bought me this novel because she knew I liked The Man with the Red Tattoo. That was, of course, a James Bond novel. So, my childhood biases were there to make me buy it in the first place. Having this other R.B. novel in front of me, I decided to give it a read. I was not disappointed. The characters and story are well-developed, and you are drawn to them and the action of novel as soon as you pick it up. I really think that R.B. is a talented storyteller. You will not be disappointed.

Might as well be spraying water

The first time I sprayed this on my furniture, my cat trotted right over and spent five minutes smelling the furniture. It did not repel him at all and had no affect on his scratching behavior. I later tried theSticky Paws Tapeand had success with that, although it looks really bad having strips of tape on the furniture. I really would have liked for this repellant to work, but I could have had the same results from spraying water on my furniture.

A long and engrossing read...

Overall, I really enjoyed this book. It was a somewhat arduous read, especially for the first quarter of it or so, but after you get to know the characters--in both past and present--it becomes hard to put it down. It gives a lot of background about the Cathars and the Crusades, which I found very interesting and useful; however, this information is not so dry and overwhelming that it ruins the flavor of romance and mystery that this book has to offer. It was fulfilling right up to the final pages. I definitely recommend it for somebody looking for something a little different from the typical Dan Brown-esque novels on the bookshelves currently.

Is this a joke?

I have never seen a book more poorly written, perhaps with the exception of a story written by a third grader. It is almost as if the book were never read before publishing. There are so many grammatical errors it is almost comical. To top it off, the stories are weak and the plot lines are ridiculous. I would honestly be ashamed to admit to having written this piece [...]

Returned Item

The sound was fine. The problem was after less than 1 week if I paid $93.00 for them I do not expect the ear foam piece on the left side to come off from just removing them from my head. Amazon is very cool about returning an item because they are on the way today. Some people may think it is a easy fix but I looked at thinking if this happens in less than one week I am returning them I will use my $25 Sennheiser headphones until I decide my next decision but sorry it will not be a replacement of the same.

What a waste of time!

We rented this movie last night and became so bored with it, we turned it off midway. The 1st five minutes with the false trailers are mildly amusing and so we thought we were in for some belly laughs. Nothing could be further from the truth. The premise had potential, but there is nothing funny about this movie, no snappy dialogue, no quick comebacks, not once did we laugh after the opening. Sure, it has star potential, but the script was just awful, the characters weren't even decent parodies. Reviewers who say this is a good movie are just pandering to its extraordinary cast, but it was painfully clear that none of the cast actually read the book, er script (one of the "jokes" in the movie), and put it all together. The best thing about the movie was the panoramic scenery, which was gratuitously blown up, over and over. If you want belly laughs, see Step Brothers. Ben Stiller, you need new writing partners. I wonder if Will Ferrel is available?

Excellent quality image.

We purchased this my wife's grandmother who loves Sound of Music. She only recently got blu-ray and a large flat-screen, so I was dying to see how things looked all together (and force her to use it at least once while we were there). ;) We put it in, and I was floored. The image quality is fantastic. In fact, it's almost too good at times- almost looks fake. But- I think this was ultimately due to the settings she had on her flat-screen. [Someone pumped it up to vivid settings with extra sharpness I believe.] However, even with the settings not optimal (or rather as I'd prefer them), it was obvious that this release was the best in video quality out there. Colors and textures were clean and clear- not muddy. I remember watching it late-night on the old TV and it was horrible quality compared to this. Almost like you're in the movie-theater watching it's release. Fantastic!

Downhill.....try Dreaming of You

I don't read any romance novels EXCEPT for Lisa Kleypas, a strange habit I picked up when she came out with her first (now out of print) book.She makes a point to explore different kinds of love, and she is a great sensualist, and can be quite funny.But....her older work is so much better, it's stunning. It's as if all the rich detail she used to put in her early books is too much effort, and now we get the barest, sketchiest description. She's actually a good writer, but if you've never read her before, try "Dreaming of You".

IT WAS A VERY INTERESTING MOVIE! THE ONLY THING THAT MADE ME GIVE IT 4 STARS INSTEAD OF 5, IT WAS NOT LONG ENOUGH AND COULD OF HAD A MORE DETAILED ENDING. ALL IN ALL I HIGHLY RECOMEND IT!

One star too many

This was, possibly, the worst movie I have ever seen in my life. The film lacked a convincing plot throughout. The acting was poor to trite at best. And, the special effects were an awe inspiring waste of resources, money, and time.I'd much rather watch an Ed Wood film...on "special edition".

Insightful

"The Queen of Everything" by Deb Caletti is a remarkable portrayal of life as we know it. Jordan Mackenzie, the heroine of this story, shows her troubles and way of dealing with life with incredible feistiness, insight, humor, and sarcasm. Despite all of the problems that Jordan is trying to deal with, she still communicates with us on a level that is basic, but complex, as she finds ways of describing the most basic things beautifully on a whole other level. The author's interpretation of life is apparent through Jordan's eyes and this extraordinarily funny, poignant, and fast-paced story is one that you will be sure to enjoy.

Poor wireless signal

I used for several months with not very good pointing. Then the mouse continue to point slowly and incorrectly. Finally I found it was too far away from the USB receiver. But actually I always put the mouse within the length of a notebook. So I have to move closer to the receiver, you know how far does it start to work? right under the USB receiver!!! and it won't work even with a distance of a mouse. I have make sure the battery is fully charged.

Plenty of bells & whisles, but poor image scanning

I've always been a big fan of Canon's scanners, but the Canoscan 3000f really let me down. I've been using the Canoscan n1240u and have always liked the great colors and vivid scans. I decided to upgrade to the new 3000f, manily because it will scan negatives and slides. Unfortunately, the reproduction quality on these types of scans are not very good. The color reproduction is very poor and the image quality, even at extremely high resolutions is not as true as it is on some of the less expensive Canon scanners. Even after having spent a lot of time working with various settings and options in the scanning software, the quality was still not as good as I would like to have seen. Hopefully Canon will get these problems fixed with their next line of film & photographic scanners.

Seasons Greetings

Seasons Tall Pink Salmon, 14.75-Ounces (Pack of 12)Flavorful but mild tasting firm chunks of salmon, no additives other than salt. Superior to national brands because of taste, texture, ratio of fish to broth (almost none) and cost per serving. Great price on Amazon with a clearance special but even retail would have been a good value.

WE LOVE OUR TODDY

According to the manufacturer, these filters should be replaced every three months, or after 12 uses. Since they don't appear to wear out, and not being a scientist, I was curious as to why they needed to be replaced. I was told - DUH, that it is because of the bacteria that grows on them. I pretty much stay within thee usage guidelines, but before each use, I put the filter in boiling for 10 minutes. I feel safe keeping and using them for 3 months before replacing them. I also put them in a NEW storage baggie after each use, and after rinsing them.Also, I have two separate filters in the refrigerator at all times, one for coffee and one for tea - the best iced tea we have ever had.

One of the most touching movies ever made.

Unconditional love, tolearance that's what this movie is about. Anti-Semistism, absoutley not. Go to the movie with an open heart and open mind. You would have to be heartless not to leave the theatre without feeling something. The flashbacks scenes that Virgin Mary has were moving. The movie left me emotionally drained; however, it's a touching piece of art. Well done Mel! Well done! You deserve it. I'm going to see it again that's for sure. I can't wait till it comes out on DVD.

not a good read.

the title caught me, as did what the back of the book said. however, the book itself didn't really speak to me. it spoke at me, which was very annoying. there was too much psychological talk, and it all seemed like a memory. the author didn't do a great job at switching from past to present. another thing that bothered me, was the fact that the plot buildup was weak. it just basically talks about cecilia's death the whole time, and then skips immiediatly to the ending. the ending itself did not offer much closure to the novel. some may like it, however it didn't really hit home with me.

Hey, Steve. Is that you or your evil twin? I can't tell

Ken Follett's "The Third Twin" gave away the plot from the first chapter and kept giving away the next plot twist way too soon. No surprises. Supposedly very intelligent people making incredible stupid mistakes. You would think that once you suspected your boyfriend was one of a set of identical clone's, had your life threatened by one, and your best friend raped by one, that you would figure out a way to "certify" the good one. Well Jeannie, doesn't until she's almost raped for the SECOND time. She goes to incredible lengths to obtain her prized list of clone names on diskette and hands it to her boyfriend saying "Be careful, it's the only copy". I think the first thing any reasonable person would do with a "one of kind" data disk is make a backup, copy it to an email and send it off to a few friends, right? All in all a weak story.

Never get lost again!

Bought this for my mother, and used it right after Christmas. Product work straight out of package. It is fairly accurate, took it on a long trip. Battery lasts about 3 hours. On a 6 hour drive, we had to use the included d/c power cord.This device is good for entry level. Has SD card slot for updates, and bluetooth for your cellphone. Great turn by turn, only had one Error in its map on our drive.All in All a good device, just need to use some common sense and it will server you well.

wonderfully written and informative

I found this to be a well written, high quality book that should prove to be a great read for anyone. The language is easy to understand which makes it a good leisure read but at the same time it provides a wealth of information about wildlife, habitats, environments, and interactions that, as a grad student, I still found very interesting and informative.

Great read

Although this book was about something so awful and devastating I was unable to put it down because it was so good. This is the second story that I've read from Jodi Picoult. I really enjoy the style Jodi Picoult writes her stories, from then to now, and getting all character's perspectives. This was the second book I've read from this author and I can't wait to read another!

Needed more classics... bottom line...

The original release from VHS "Saturday Night Live Goes Commercial" was much better. This seems like "The best of Will Ferral commercials". Many greats missing... "Jewess Jeans", "Big Red", "Shimmer Floor Wax & Dessert Topping", "Velvet Jones", "Swill" and "Compulsion" to name a mere few...Glad to see "Cluckin' Chicken", "Happy Fun Ball", etc. I REALLY wat to find "Action Cats". It's nice to have in the collection- no doubt, but there need to be a lot more classics. It's VERY heavy on recent and current casts.Chad Koenig

3.5 Star Decent Suspense/Horror Movie

****SPOILER FREE REVIEW****I love how the movie starts off normal then slowly takes us into the realm of Horror. This type of genre "good child whom is really evil" is starting to be a bit over done and well traversed. Be that as it may, this movie was decent. Acting is superb, Rene of course can really do no wrong.The child actress is phenonmenal as well (where do they find these kids?)The introduction of the supernatural feels organic, I was fine with more or less everything.When I think of this movie, I think of a diet version of "The Ring".Not too bad. I'd give it 3.5 stars but Amazon doesn't do the 1/2 star thing so I gave it 4 stars.

More of the same.

I have great respect for artists who can write and perform their own music. Jewel is a beautiful woman with a beautiful voice, but with these trite lyrics and melodies she should really get some assistance with her writing. I'd like to hear a song by her called "Screw You All! I Used to Live in a Car!" or something to break the monotony of her "cheerfully spiritual" lyrics. There are some pleasant tunes on this album, but nothing that you can distinguish from anything she's done on this album or her last. I'd love to hear her do some covers of old tunes like "Natural Woman," "Just One Look," etc. Maybe she should team with Layne Staley from Alice in Chains. That would be some pairing and we can get some less perky lyrics. "Down in a Hole With Jewel." Actually that would be a rather cheerful experience for me. Never mind...Having said all that, this album will probably sell like hotcakes and please hardcore Jewel fans. I think she is capable of much more.

This book is thrilling, and keeps you turning the pages!

Meg by Steve Alten was exciting. I was amazed at how real his theory could be, books aren't just for entertainment, they are the begining of "What ifs" This book along with others I've read tell me this Megolodon could actually be. This book not only scared me, but sparked my knowledge key, learning about this historic creature, stunned me. It's worse than Jaws, bigger, and more vicious. Meg was awsome, I was so engulfed in this book I couldn't put it down! I recomnd this book to any avid or nonavid reader, it will keep you on your toes, and make you think what lurks under you when you swim, what was that small flash of light?

The only drawback about democracy is that any idiot can write anything and claim that it represents the truth. You would have to take a lot of quotes out of context, misrepresent a lot of history, make up some facts, ignore others, and basically have intellectual ability of a chipmunk to come up with conclusions like this author has.

Not a fan

I purchased the kindle version from Amazon. I rooted against the Celtics during the period covered in the book. Rooting for them would be like rooting for the Yankees. I did admire the talent on the team and respected them. I remember the players well and enjoyed the book very much. I would recommend it to anyone who followed the NBA during that period.

Worst album of the year

This album is simply awful. I didn't think Limp Bizkit could get much worse after Significant Other, but they have proven me wrong with their newest album. Musically, it's the same thing over and over, with no real originality in any song. Lyrically, Fred Durst shows his stunted vocabulary focuses around the 'F' word, making sure to put this in every line of every song. On this album, you can start to hear the repetition of the same phrases over and over, because Fred has nothing in his empty head to work with. This album represents a rap album, where the music is not strong enough on its own, so the services of a more talented individual are called upon to try to salvage something. The overuse of guest appearances on this album show how weak the songs really are. I don't think Limp Bizkit has anywhere else to go after this album. This style of music is dying fast, and hopefully Limp Bizkit will too

DEFECTIVE DVD

When on videotape, this probably was great! The content and videography and sound are fantastic! Unfortunately, my DVD repeatedly froze up and I returned the product. I was sent another and it also would freeze. I suspect when it was transferred from videotape to DVD an overly aggressive anti-copying scheme was employed which makes this product unusable. I have tried it on different DVD players, as well as computers, and it simply freezes up! DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT UNTIL THE DEFECTS HAVE BEEN CLEARED UP. (I'm referring to the "For Women" version. The "For Men" version is fine.)

THIS IS A SIN!_GREATEST TOM TOM CLUB ALBUM EVER_WHERE IS THE CD?

As stated by MANY MANY MANY reviewers, this "CLOSE TO THE BONE" is HANDS DOWN, TOM TOM CLUB's CROWNING ACHIEVEMENT!!!

After recovering much of my 80's collection on CD, this is an ACHING SOAR SPOT!!! My cassette tape has worn out from over 25 years of use. Nothing will ever be better than "PLEASURE OF LOVE" and "THE MAN WITH THE 4-WAY HIPS" but the whole album FLOWS together and their is truthfully not one bad track on "CLOSE TO THE BONE"...it should REALLY be RELEASED ON CD in IT'S FULL ENTIRITY!!! I could never get sick of this album. I am thrilled to read that many people are still "discovering" them and guess what?... THEY ALL WANT THIS CD! PLEASE RELEASE TOM TOM's "CLOSE TO THE BONE" on CD NOW!!!

Great game itself, Worst buy from Amazon...

I've always loved the Army Men series, even the games that had horrible reviews were great to me. During my childhood, I had several favorites, this one being one of them. When I saw that this game was being sold on here, I instantly got it. It said it would ship between December 14th, and january 2nd. After waiting days for it, I finally got it today (12/22/2012)and when I installed it and hit play... nothing happened. I know it's not my computer because Army Men II, Star Wars: Empire At War- Forces of Corruption, and Age of Empires III: Complete Collection all run perfectly fine on it (they aren't installed at the same time). I don't know why it won't play, but my guess is it's something to do with the game itself. I most likely won't be buying from this seller anytime soon.

A perfect example of why "sola scriptura" is childish.

This book does a decent job of listing the inconsistencies and reasons that sola scriptura and biblical inerrancy are corrupt doctrines. Unforunately (for Archer) that isn't the goal of this work. The explanations he gives for the various contradictions are weak and unconvincing. This book convinced me that the fundamentalist view of biblical inspiration is faulty. Fortunately I realized after some study that biblical inerrancy and sola scriptura aren't the historic view of scripture. ...

Sony Vaio PCGGRT260G - junk

My husband spent close to $3000.00 for the vaio notebook - it was my Christmas present 12/03. Now the video card does not function at all. The notebook is 15 months old and useless. I will never buy another Sony product. The part is $274.33 - I will use my reliable desktop, we have three Compaq computers that have funtioned fine for years. I have had it with sony. When it did work I would ask for help with some of the programs, they always directed me to on line help.

I don't mind the lack of a docking cradle. I don't use Outlook for contacts and appointments, so I have not had any similar problems to the earlier reviewers.

Blurry, Faded, and Flat

This print arrived today; as soon as I unrolled it I realized I had made a mistake with this purchase. The quality is worse than if I had printed it on "fast draft" on my inkjet printer. The colors are incredibly under saturated, the contrast is extremely low, and the details are blurry.The original work is dark, and bright, with every shade of red and gold and grey. This is predominantly beige and brownish-orange. I never expected them to be able to replicate the actual metallic paint in the "5" in the center, but the colors of this whole print are way off.Furthermore, the entire painting is not on this print- about an inch all the way around is missing- in the original painting, on the right hand side, the window says "...ART CO." however this print has the "CO." cut off.This print is going in the trash.

I'm suffering...!

Second in the Aisling Grey, Guardian urban fantasy series that somehow allows Aisling Grey to live. God knows why.My TakeThis has to have been the stupidest heroine I have ever encountered. I kept reading because I kept hoping she would somehow, miraculously stop being such an incredible idiot! There just had to be something redeeming in this crap.She jumps in with both feet. She never listens to anyone. She gets angry when things don't go her way. Which they almost never do because she never listens to anyone. She never stops to find out what the ramifications of anything might be. She's an absolute, complete, and total moron. I haven't much respect for Drake either, because he keeps wanting to be around her.I know this isn't how I normally do a review, but I'll just become furious if I have to spend any more time with this absolute twit.

Strange and excellent work

If Brian Wilson and John Lennon had co-written a record and allowed Tom Waits to produce it, Deserter's Songs is what it might sound like. It has a retro feel but the songs themselves are haunting, repetative, and shimmer in the distance. I guess the musical saw is a cliche, but I haven't heard too much of it, and I think that here it works. However, if you are expecting rock and roll, go far elseware. This has more in common with classical leider and Brecht-Weil songs than it does Indie rock.

Embarassingly bad....

"Love Song For a Raven" had the potential to be fantastic, but the writing and the dialogue were so flowery and ridiculous that I couldnt help but cringe. I thought that the characters were woefully underdeveloped and the love between them blossomed so fast that it bordered on unbelievable. Raven was ok..but his whole "Gratitude/Love" thing grew tired..and Janna was just plain annoying...I would have given this only 1 star, but it IS an Elizabeth Lowell and this was OBVIOUSLY one of her earlier efforts. All in all I definitely would NOT recommend this.

Started leaking after only two and half months

At first we thought that it had somehow gotten blown off, and rain had gotten in, but we have since had three rains and it was secured well, and the middle of the tarp still leaks.For the price and the fact that it is made of heavy material, we expected that it would last a while. Certainly longer than a few months.We missed the deadline for filing a claim by about one week!Not pleased at all.Now we will have to get a new tarp that does block the rain.

Excellent explanations of difficult topics

The author, David Kahn does a superb job of explaining in clear, simple, casual manner many of the more difficult topics cover on the AP Calculus exams. He provides numerous step-by-step instructions of how to master many types of problems and also gives a lot of quick tips and tricks. He has obviously had much experience teaching this course. This book is amazingly easy, even fun, to read. There are numerous examples, practice problems and actual exam-type questions. I found this book organized and written in a way that makes it stand out from all other books of its type. I especially found it more readable and useful than the long-time favorite in its class - Baron's AP Calc. Review.

Waste of Money

This system seemed like a bargain and worked just fine for about 6 months but then the player had trouble syncing audio with video, would get stuck loading discs and have to be reset and now, after only about 18 months of occasional use, the front display (the little LCD screen) has gone out. Everything seems to work well enough but it's anyone's guess what function you're on since the screen doesn't display anymore. Hate to chuck it but there seems to be no solid answer as to how to fix it on any website I've searched. Too bad; I thought Samsung made better stuff than that.

Buy it only if you need tinder for your fireplace

"Check it out! I can use the cool military acronyms too!"That's what this book screamed at me when I read it. Slater's artistic license should be permanently revoked over this book: the US military is depicted as being so inept and stupid that they'd surrender to your average Pokemon armed with a Taco Bell Chalupa. The cover is misleading; there's no air combat at all. To top it off, the miltia freaks are depicted as more organized than they probably are in real life: gun control is not a big enough issue to foment a rebellion around, and the whole war would probably turn into an American version of the Indian Mutiny of 1857.The only frightening thing about this scenario is that it spawned sequels. Anybody who thinks Slater's better than Tom Clancy should know that Clancy at least researches his material.

Pirates of the Carribean

I found this game to be one of the most difficult, most poorly documented and least intuitive games I ever played.You start off the game with a crewmember to lead you through the start of the game. From there, you continue on your own. There is no primer on how to sail a ship. There is a minimal trainer on sword fighting but little feedback on how you're doing so you can modify your actions.After getting my ship sunk in a storm twice, getting sunk by random ships attacking me three times (including just showing up at my home port)and getting no feedback or instruction on how to survive those events or how to avoid them, I gave up and quit the game.

Same Old

The first five stories are the same story over and over: girl is taken away from family (who hasn't had that fantasy?)to a sumptuous palace/castle/manse, enchanted male sneaks into her room or she into his. He takes her and in some way or other is transformed into a prince. I really didn't find the fantasies erotic for adults. I am surprised to find that her research concluded that women's fantasies are centered around fairy tales. Just did not do it for me.

How did 24 survive this season?

I came to 24 late - season 5 - and was hooked. I then purchased all the previous years. Year 1 is awful. It spends too much time with the Kim Bauer character who is a whiney, wimpy, loud, obnoxious teenager. Jack deserves better. I guess she is there to get the teen boy audience to tune in or closet child molesters. As to the DVD, the plot line is turgid and the acting is uninspiring. If I had started out with year 1 I would not have gotten any farther. As it were I could only get through the first three CDs before trashing it. Year 2 is much, much better. The Kim blight is still there doing meaningless stuff and screaming a lot but you can fast forward. Thankfully she appeared hardly at all in Season 5. If you are interested in 24 avoid this one.

don't believe the hype

I am an old school gamer,dating back to 1991.I have basically played all of the easports,sporting games.This game by far is the worst i have ever seen,especially after having played MADDEN 2002.I found this version to be very slow and boring.What's with all the rim shots?Can anybody sink an all net shot?Eventhough the graphics are much more defined, they still have that polygon look to them.The dunks are effortless,and i found it very easy to move around the opponents,who seem to stand around until you move their way.Overall the game is a little on the weak side when compared to the great "nba lives" of the past.The kids will love it, but true ballers know there is a lot more they could have done with this version.Hopefully,the programmers will do a better job with 2003.

what a horrible writing style...

I read a lot of trash books - specifically scifi and fantasy. nobody can accuse me of having good taste with these sorts of books. This book however, stands out. It was increasingly hard to concentrate on the story because thw writing style is that of a very bad computer game dialog or plot writer. It was almost physicallypainful to read. it is one of the only books i stopped reading in the middle in the past 20 years. it was that bad.
