"A heart made out of sand and s*** "
|
I didn't come up with that line, it was from the movie. The best line from the movie, in my opinion, as a beleaguered school principal finally cuts loose and tells a clueless couple that their horrid, heinous child really does need some major help. That line perfectly sums up this really awful film, peopled with some of the most unappealing characters I've seen lately. Shame on the folks responsible, for exploiting the tragedy of 9/11 by using it to showcase this bunch of freaks. Even the wonderful Tony Shalhoub merely played "Mr. Monk becomes a Therapist." Don't know what ever happened to the Psycho Child, but by the end of the film he's gone, which is where I should have been long before the closing song.

LIFE SPAN OF SIX MONTHS
|
I bought a refurbished vaio on line. It lasted six months, with a 90 day warranty. SONY's telephone help is worthless, and to get any tech help costs [money] just to talk to one of their people. I won't buy another Sony, ever.

This is a great product with some limitations. I'm not certain how the published 1000' range was determined, but using the FM radio function, I was not able to reach more than 70' from the house to the garage. I'm very pleased with the results using the RCA connectors but a little disappointed with the FM limitation. It would also be nice to be able to purchase extra receivers so that several locations in the house could access the transmitter. I purchased another complete set just to get a second receiver. Have not received it yet.

Disappointed!

I just received my coffee maker..this would be my second Melita, and I thought the little things that went wrong w/the first were my fault (plastic lock breaking on top of the grinder, coffee continuing to drip when the carafe was removed, unable to set timer)but I plugged this one in and was able to set the auto brew...until i wanted to change the time and the "timer" and "down" buttons became stuck and I couldn't do anything but watch the clock display go round and round...and NO COFFEE! Not a ONE!!!i couldn't even turn the unit on! this is going right back!

A Fantastic Melding of Christian Beliefs and Hip-Hop.
|
I recently bought this album and it rarely stays in the case. Each track is laced with insightful lyrics and a grove that I find very remenicent of G-Love. The Gotees lace each song with acoustic guitar, excellent drum work, and throbing bass. Tracks like "Wages of Sin" and "Why can't We Be Friends" contain an uplifting message and a funky vibe. This album also features many top artists from the christian world. Grits, Toby MCkennan, and Out of Eden to name a few. If your a fan of religon, hip hop, or both check out this uplifting release.

More "motivation" than "organization system"
|
My title says it all. There isn't much of a blue print laid out here for you to follow on the path to organizing your life. For the most part, this book seems to beat around the bush by presenting you with a series of actual accounts of clutterers and discussion on why you hoard things and how much better your life would be if you didn't. The author frequently sites his own experience as a reformed pack rat. After reading this book, I felt more pumped up to take action than instructed on how to go about better organizing the different facets of my life. True, motivation is half the battle, but I would have preferred more guidance with the other half.

too bad they have cut too much of the film denaturating it
|
The film is good in itself the actors are good but the film has been once again too much cut denaturating it...suddenly, the woman who laid for two years in the coma is dead and we hear that the husband who waited so long for her to wake up, has divorced her (so she must has woken up, been a vilain etc and been killed, the husband who was such a weak man is suddenly transformed in a killer who killed everybody...why? how? when?...whatever...it is really not worth your time and money... Do not buy it if you want to spend a good time...once again it is the same company who cut the film as the one which made El Candidato y un nuevo amor...with very little regard for the novela and very little regard for the consumers...maybe just interested in quick money...

My son 3 y/o is addicted, but I am disapointed.
|
I don't think Disney Interactive has a Quality Assurance department. The usability of the game is awful. There is an option to reconfigure the controls, but it's still difficult. I have yet to figure out how to save the game. Supposedly you can do it between levels, but I haven't figured out how. There are simple graphical errors that should have been fixed pre-beta. When you finish a level, a box appears in the middle of the screen, so you can't see what Lilo or Stitch are doing when they've completed their task. Based upon the movement of the surroundings, it looks like they're doing something or walking somewhere. I wouldn't know, I can 't see them. Over-all, thumbs down. But my three year old loves it. Too bad I have to play it so much, because he can't jump over all that water.

Sweet, subtle music
|
This album is wonderful on its first run through, but it just gets better and better the more you listen to it. It shows what two men with enormous talent can produce with the experience that only a little age, wisdom, and weariness can provide. Truly inspired. If you are on the fence as to whether to buy it or not, do yourself a favor and just do it. You'll wonder why you were on the fence in the first place.

Not what I expected
|
I was expecting solid sturdy plastic animals but these are not them. My daughter received them for her second birthday off her amazon wishlist. Now what we have them I wish I had never put them on there. They are hollow plastic and all of the large animals have rings around their necks where two pieces were put together. The quality of the rings varies wildly. On the pig it is barely noticeable yet the head of the goat is attached very poorly. If this had not been a gift I would be returning it.

THANK GOD FOR CUSTOMER REVIEWS!!!
|
I was about ready to happily order this new DVD--until I read themany negative reviews!!! So I went back to the photo of the case,enlarged it...&, sure enough!, all the copy was in Chinese (Japanese,Vietnamese, Madarian, yr guess good as mine). So, of course, I amNOT going to order this neat film--was getting it for my 11 yearold daughter's birthday (but I planned to enjoy it, again, too!).I cannot BELIEVE that Amazon would offer this item & not "FLAG" clearlyto us that it is offered in a foreign language (ie Not English), apparently not even subtitled (a musical subtitled? huh?) & that the thing would be pretty much useless to anyone who doesn't attend the nearest FarEastern Language School. Very upsetting. I think AMAZON is responsibleto explain this odd process/oversight to us & get their copywriters busycorrecting such false advertising...it really DOES verge on the old "bait& switch." Ugh & arrggh.

This vest was too bulky for me and my running needs. I think it would be especially too much in the hot summer months. The vest is larger than my sleeveless running tanks. I returned this item and found a running vest that is basically like suspender straps that criss-cross the body and is very light weight!

Superdooper Dud!
|
This film is an overrated unfunny and scareless turkey, poor writing, amatuerish directing, ham fisted acting, poor special FX, and a slow plodding pace(that forced me to fast forward quite a bit) sink this dud. I have a feeling the good reviews this film has recieved are friends and relatives of the director. Avoid at all costs.

Great Product
|
I read some of the other reviews prior to buying this. They were exactly right about the clip. It is not deep enough to be used as a clip-on. I keep it in my pocket and gym bag. It is great to see the steps I've put in. It is great feedback to my workout and weight loss efforts. It is handy to chart your progress because the unit stores your data for several days. I would definitely buy again or give as a gift.

Decent single

Now, I'm a 15 year old guy and I'll admit that the song "I want it that way" is one hell of a catchy tune. The Backstreet Boys were also the first boy band I heard before all the other crappy immitation boy bands started dominating the radio. While I don't reall like the BSB I'm willing to give them some credit.

Poor re-make of a good movie
|
I was originally looking forward to seeing this movie, but after I did, I wish I hadn't spent the money. The story is lame, the actors dull, and the story is so changed from Shirley Jackson's wonderful book, and the 1963 movie that it doesn't even deserve to share the same title. Forget about buying this botched movie and purchase the older 'Haunting.' You'll wonder why they bothered to make a re-make, proving that newer doesn't necessarily mean better.

Not worth the money
|
First of all it is a very short book about 40 pages, paper-back, and most of it is covered with pictures, also the book size is about 5"x6"; it's more like a brochure. That's fine if you want pictures, but it leaves little room for information. I certainly didn't expect to have the first half of the book giving pictures and descriptions of all of these different tree frogs, I bought it for the Red-eyes.The second half of the book (20 pages) gives little information. It doesn't even show cage setups.My advice, save your money and do a search on the internet, you will get more information.

If you're smart, you won't even waste your time on this one. Not only is the movie cliche, it really doesn't make much sense. I never did figure out what the mute boy had to do with anything in the film. I am surprised Morgan Freeman even took part in this horrible movie.

Must Read??? Must NOT!
|
I really tried to get into this book, but with every graphic detail about stabbing and guts spilling out and rape, rape with every detail about who did what to whom and how it was done, I couldn't stand it anymore. Who needs those images in their brain? No one does. I gave up half way through the book and finally threw it in a public trash can. From what I understand this author is really into rape. That is actually very creepy. Plus, the characters were totally one demensional. The only one I really cared about was Philip, but not enought to keep reading. Best book you've ever read??? I don't agree!!!

MY HUSBAND AND I LIKED THIS TUB BECAUSE WE COULD FOLD IT UP AND PUT IT AWAY IN THE LINEN CLOSET. IT DOES TEND TO LEAK AT THE HINGES THOUGH CAUSING THE WATER TO GET COOL VERY QUICK. WE USED TO KEEP THE WATER RUNNING INTO THE TUB THE ENTIRE TIME WE WERE BATHING OUR SON AND THIS WORKED OUT GREAT. THE WATER WAS ALWAYS THE RIGHT TEMPERATURE AND OUR SON LOVED THE SPLASHING FROM THE FAUCET. I RECOMMEND THIS TO ANYONE WITH LIMITED SPACE FOR AN INFANT TUB.

disillusioned already, even before reading book.
|
I gave this one star even though I haven't read it yet. In fact, I probably will read it eventually. But I lost trust instantly. All it took was reading the title and the book description. I received a postcard from Ms Gittleman plugging this book. How wonderful, a one-day diet! And I will lose 8 pounds! Well, I went immediately to amazon to look up the Fast Track One-Day Diet! Here's the problem - Turns out this is not a one-day diet, it's an 11-day diet. How can I trust this book after this misleading hype? I have a bookshelf full of diet books that promise to be the last diet I will ever need, including just about every book Ms Gittleman has written. The ugly truth is that in order to lose weight we have to change our eating habits and we have to exercise. No one-day miracles.

The Stand DVD - TV mini-series
|
After reading the most recent version of the Stephen King novel, "The Stand", I ordered the DVD version of the TV mini-series, aired in the early 1990s. One of the worst translations of a book to film I have ever seen. The acting was juvenile, except for a couple of instances, the characters poorly developed and even misinterpreted from the book. I thought I was watching a high school play. The worst played character of all was 'Harold'. Not sure where they found this guy, but he butchered the character totally. Do not buy or watch this DVD and, in fact, all copies of this mini-series should be collected and burned. To add to the agaony, the DVD disk was defective with much pixelation throughout the various episodes.

Niceley designed add-on without a doubt
|
I am going to make this review short. Tribunal is an excellent addition to morrowind. And better yet, even like Unreal Gold, it's built into morrowind. Which is just plain awesome. New locations, items, allies, enemies, and just plain ordinary characters interestingly and beatifully designed and fun to interact with have been deisgned in tribunal. Although the expansion pack is a bit small, (which why I gave it 4 out of 5 stars), it is a great addition to morrowind, and I cannot wait till the bloodmoon expansion pack comes out.(I also got decent frame rates in areas of tribunal), I reocmmend it!

a good rocker

UFO's "Walk on water" was one of the best rock cds of the entire 90's. uFo did everything right on that one. This is not walk on water but it's decent. It is a letdown after wow but it's not a one star effort. It has michael schenker and the band is tight. This isn't as good as 'sharks' the next one they did together either but it's close , it has a few not so stellar songs on it; but compared to the thrash trash music out there this whole thing is great. Of course this isn't as good as their 73-83 peak period but it's darn close with some hot songs and some decent ones. the band has nothing to be upset about on this one. And it's way better than "high stakes and dangerous men' was from the same decade so ufo fans should be at least satisfied to a degree with this one IF they can forget the greatness of 'walk on water' and give this one a chance. The import version had extra tracks and that's the one I got so I would say that's the one to go for.

No Quaility Control
|
My first order arrived with clear marbles, not multi - like it said on the manufacturer's box. So I thought maybe it was a fluke and ordered another one as soon as I printed my return label.The second one arrived 2 days later. The internal box already had a rip in it, the marbles were knotted together and - once again - clear marbles instead of the multi-color indicated on the box and what I had ordered.I have another wind chime from this manufacturer which I absolutely love, hence the reason I bought this one. But since they can't seem to send me the product I ordered, there is no way of knowing how lovely this would be in my yard.Very, very disappointing.

It's hard to believe this is the same band that cut Sumo Surprise and Banana Man. Some of the songs sounded more like big hair rock from the mid-80's than punk. Skip this one if you are a fan of Ghoti Hook, or of punk in general. If you want a good punk CD, get Wake Up Screaming by Slick Shoes instead.

Excellant Book! Debbie Macomber has a way with Angels!

Shirley, Goodness & Mercy are back! They are ready, willing and able to help. Yes, they are still driving Gabriel up the wall. Like all other Macomber books I have read, this book is definitely a good read. My first experience with Shirley, Goodness & Mercy, was in A SEASON OF ANGELS, and I have enjoyed reading about them ever since. As always, they were funny, spontaneous and down to earth. Using their special magic, they turn everything around and touch your heart. Of course, the recipients of their help, never saw it coming!The only draw back for me (an AVID reader) was that the book was not LONG ENOUGH! Debbie Macomber is one author I could read all day!

The usual hatchet job
|
This is yet another attempt by the looney tooney right to lie and smear its way into the consciousness of the public. Fortunately, it won't work, as the book is viscerally boring. First, you have to care enough about Al Franken even to get past the title. More carefully examined, if one forces oneself to, its logic is incoherent, its language inflammatory without being capitivating, and its devotion to truth less than zero. The latter is the only way that these paid geishas are able to make their case. So, did Scaife pay for this pathetic effort, too, as he has paid for so many others?

Better ways out there
|
I checked this book out in a local bookstore, and I have to say, I was pretty disappointed in it. I didn't like the overall "masculinity" of the book as a whole. They give names to female anatomy that I don't think are conducive to a child's learning of the physiology of humans, and yet the male parts are given straight forward names. Why do the female ones get slang words instead?I wasn't happy with the effort put into describing all aspects of sex. Why do children need to know exactly what it feels like, what it looks like, etc? Really, shouldn't they just learn that it's an expression of love and they'll learn the rest soon enough? Don't children have enough on their plates as it is without them having to deal with graphic sexuality at such young ages?I truly feel the best way to talk to your child about sex is to do just that, talk to them. Don't just go buy some book and hand it to them and expect that to work.

NOT Crosspacked
|
Length:: 1:25 Mins"Crosspack" sardines are supposed to be the tiniest in the industry, not fat and overgrown.Tiny is best; that is why they come at a premium price.Which I paid.Instead of receiving crosspacked sardines however, inside the tin was THIS (see uploaded movie).The packaging *says* crosspacked yet these definitely are not. Other reviewers have reported the same experience.Crown Prince is supposed to be a premium brand. I gave 5-star reviews recently to two of their other varieties.Not sure what to think here. Either selling lower grade sardines at premium prices is an intentional profit grab by Crown Prince, or quality control in Scotland is badly slipping. Whatever, this is going back.

Cult Classic

I had not heard of this book until I finished reading the Howard the Duck Omnibus. I loved that book so much that I looked into other Gerber books. And found this gem. Though not as good as Howard the Duck, Omega the Unknown is fine example of what made Steve Gerber's works truely shine, characters. The characters in this book seem more down to earth and real than most comics of the time. The book is a great read and pretty affordable. If you like a book with a few surprise twists and good solid characters this is the book for you.

Movie is in the wrong aspect ratio !
|
I saw a newly restored print of "The Sweet Smell of Success" (1957) at the Chauvel Cinemas in Sydney on the weekend. The new print was very good and no scratches present.My biggest gripe about this DVD (I don't own a copy and won't) is that the aspect ratio is completely wrong. This film was shot in 1.85 and not 1.66 which means you're losing a lot of the picture.I advise people to think carefully about how much of the picture they want to see as there is quite a bit of difference between a widescreen ratio of 1.85 and 1.66.Also, I'm hoping the newly restored print version I saw on the weekend might surface on a new DVD edition and be in the right screen ratio.Newcastleboy

I really like this album & have endeavoured to ignore the hype regarding 'the punch up' and focussed on what I think is a fine collection of songs.There are some real shining lights among this lot, in particular 'C'mon C'mon' and I love 'Not that Social' too...Well worth a listen...A good, strong garage sound, a lot more polished than the White Stripes, and nice to hear some crystal clear female vocals as well-it provides an interesting contrast to Jason Stollsteimer's singing.I like it.

Just A Commercial For His Product

I've always enjoyed Tony Robbins and I believe he has a great message. I own 5 of his books, the "Personal Power" and "Get The Edge" programs and several of his Power Talk cd's. I bought this because it lead me to believe it was a visual of what I already have. What it really is, is a commercial for his products and seminar. This is a BIG disappointment and every misleading. Save your money and just watch one of his infomercials on TV, it's free!

Me quede aterrada con ese final
|
Isabel Allende tiene una forma unica y peculiar de escribir. Me gustan mucho sus libros, pero tiene un problema: da demasiados detalles y se sale de la trama. Esta era una fantastica historia, sin embargo, no le dio la importancia que debio darle al personaje. Se intereso mas en describir la vida en chile y otras cosas que le restaban importancia a lo que verdaderamente la tenia: la historia de Eliza. No es que no me haya gustado, si me gusto, pero el final es algo tragico e inesperado. Me quede con las ganas de saber que paso despues. Se habra quedado con tao'chien? se habra reconciliado con Miss Rose? Eso nunca lo vamos a saber!

Avoid this movie like the plague.

I was looking for something that would scare me and I had heard about this movie through various friends and discussions. I thought it had to be good, especially considering that Sam Raimi did Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2. Well, hell no, this movie is absolutely horrible. The acting is laughable and the whole thing just seems like it is supposed to be a comedy, not a slasher. Don't waste your time.

You can do better

At first I was okay with these speakers. They were ... and weak of course, but I wasn't expecting much for the price. Then I started having constant crackling and popping noises whenever there was any bass whatsoever(at any volume). I guess if you don't care about sound AT ALL, these will work fine. They won't even replace a basic CD-player for music purposes though. If you want to play games or listen to music ever, but don't have much to spend, splurge just a tad and for $... you can pick up the Labtec Pulse-424 3 piece setup. Those are an amazing steal. Normally I think Altec-Lansing makes good stuff. Who knows maybe I got a bad set? But they were unbearable.

Good action and political undertones, BUT . . .
|
It was a little hard to ignore the kung-fu-fighting Mohawk Iroquois. This wouldn't be so bad if he did not appear in every other scene, which he does. Obviously, the French are unaware (or don't care) that the Iroquois most likely fought by tackling their enemies and engaging them in close combat on the ground, as opposed to flying across the screen or doing a roundhouse. Overall, the underlying political drama and resulting fights are entertaining and draw the viewer into the movie, but the John-Woo-like action scenes really detracted from the story. To sum things up, this would be a great rental film.

I bought the grabber expecting the microphone would do a better job of picking up audio than my camcorder alone.I compared the audio pickup with my camcorder with no sound grabber installed to camcorder with the sound grabber fully installed into my microphone input.Note I used all sorts of configurations, flat plate on, flat plate off, mic turned toward the people, mic turned away from the people. The bottom line the sound grabber did not grab any more audio than the camcorder itself..in fact the camcorder microphone picked up more audio than the grabber.So if you are expecting this grabber to grab more sound than your camcorder alone ...you are going to be disappointed and you will be out 80 bucks...too expensive and certainly not worth it !

Problem with Fiskars hose "Leakproof????" End
|
I am having the same problem as other folks who have posted reviews. The orange connector popped off and will not stay on. I also have discovered that the male end left behind is a different size and cannot attach the hose to sprayers.The hose itself is good and I like the construction except for the "leakproof??????" connector.I am going to replace that end with a male 5/8" hose repair kit so I do not have to discard the hose.

Best Avoided
|
Quality is dire compared to the German DVD (Mosquito der Schänder), which includes the English and German audio tracks.Spec says it included a trailer which it doesn't - it's simply an overlong promo reel of some sort. Best avoided.

The Three Questions
|
This book is beautifully illustrated, and sensitively written. "Being in the present moment" is what it's all about, and the book appeared just when I need to be reminded! I love this book.

Every Bit Edison
|
This movie electified me. I liked the candor that Tracy spilled into Tom. He was real warts and all; I had no doubts. It inspired me as an aspiring inventor myself. Chariots of Fire for the runner as Edison, the man for the utility inventor. I am buying 2; one for myself and one for my church library. On a cold night, I can snuggle up to the fire,persistance, loyality, and the realness of a man who looked beyond the technical inpact and cultivated his gifts to flood the world.

Not up to par
|
The finish is much darker than the other nickel items in my bathroom.It was difficult to get the screws started through the slots in the spring loaded bracket. The first screw went in a little way then stripped. I had difficulty removing it -- I had to use a pair of vice grips. Luckily I had a left over nickel screw from my shower installation. This one started easily and tightened ok. I should have learned from the first screw. The second screw (provided with the unit) finally started, but stripped when it was ALMOST tight. There wasn't enough of the screw exposed to get it out, so there is a small gap between the fixture and wall on that side.

Received shampoo in dirty bottle with dried brownish shampoo on and around the cap. My beautician uses this product and I love the fragrance of it. However this shampoo did not have much of a smell. Thanks for listening.

Unbelievable!! A so-so Tom Clancy novel!
|
It kills me to say this, it really does, but Rainbow Six is a bit of a dud. I am afraid that TC did not have his full attention on this one. The pieces are all there, but they just don't connect in the inimitable Clancy fashion. There is a lack of focus both to machinations of the bad guys, and the heroics of our heroes, the plot meanders hither and yon, and the denouement I found totally completely predictable and therefore boring. Nonetheless, I did little but read it over the course of 2 days, however I fear that Rainbow Six will not be re-read and savored numerous times. If this had been a first effort, straight-to-paperback work from a new novelist, I would be satisfied, as with a Big Mac grabbed on the run.....but it is certainly not the multi-course, gourmet feast I would expect from the latest Tom Clancy yarn.

Original
|
This book was written in screenplay format to combine the life of a young man and his desire to work in the movie industry. The man character was a young man in the wrong place at the wrong time and must suffer the consequences of a momentary lack of good judgment. The character was believable. Readers will feel drawn into the courtroom experience through the writing.

Spend a little more, get a lot more.

I purchased this cd player a year or so ago. I thought that by now the other brands like Coby would have caught up to mainstream brands in quality, I saved about $20 in this transaction.*This cd player won't play anything but perfect cd's, the slightest scratch sends it into spasms which are reduced by turning the skip protection off, ironically.*There is no external power plug*Player takes forever to spin up, and an eternity if it sees a scratch.I am going to have to go out and buy another cd player because this one certainly isn't any good. It does not work like it should, so spare yourself the pain and get a better product.

This guitar is crap.
|
I received the guitar quickly and happily - until I opened the package and inspected the item. It was supposed to be a Christmas gift but I returned it instead. The finish on it had so many flaws that I just could not give it. Dark particles had been sealed into the varnish on top of the lighter colored wood right on the face. In addition when I tried to tune the guitar the tuning machines just couldn't provide proper tension on the steel strings, they kept skipping and I could not reach proper tension on two strings therefore making it impossible to tune. I did not expect much for the price but i did expect it to look decent and tune so it would be playable. I do not recommend this guitar. It does not meet any sort of minimum standard.

It is great while it lasts
|
I purchased one of these around three years ago. I love the waffles it makes. After two uses it died. I sent it in. The factory fixed it and sent a letter saying the fuze had blown and not to plug the unit in with the setting at 6, which I have never done. The unit just died again today while cooking a waffle. I have used it about 20 times. I don't understand why the company cannot fix the problem with these units.These waffle makers are so much better than the other units out there (I own several others), but the reliability sucks!!!

Great read for all stepfamilies
|
I am the stepfather of three kids, and I read this book at the advice of my wife when we were having trouble with my kids and her kids... and the relationship between them... and reading Cohn's book really helped me understand some of the things that were going on with them and how I should react to them. Reading it helped me figure things out that I never would have if I hadn't. Definately a must-read for all stepfamilies.

Garbage! Do not waste your money!
|
We opened this during our hot Summer...what a sad excuse for a toy! The arms never did connect properly...no twirling, not even any decent water sprinkling. When the hose connects, nothing except spurting a bit out of the top, arms do not even come into play. Cheap plastic rips if you look at it wrong.My children quickly ignored it, and our dog used what was left as a chew toy!

One of The Worst Novels I Have Ever Read

Weak plot, weak characters, and horrible prose. Are we so hard up as a people that we would consider this kind of garbarge fiction? I urge anyone with any sense to avoid this "novel" at all costs. Ugh!

One of my all time favorites
|
This book is amazing. Sofie is one of my all time favorite heroines. I had to have this on my Kindle so I could read it again and again. The only problem I have with the Kindle version is there are numerous typos!!! Still, that is not the author's fault, and the book deserves a five star rating. The emotions between these characters are so intense that it grabs the readers interest from the first page and will move you to tears. I also love the fact that Sofie is such a talented artist. Torn between making her art her life and an overwhelming love for Edward. You will NOT regret reading this book. You will love it.

The Origin of Betty Boop!
|
Helen Kane is the flapper who was the model for Betty Boop. When you listen to this CD, you can appreciate just how well Mae Questal, who provided the voice of Betty Boop, imitated Helen Kane. The music on this CD is great fun. Not only do you get to hear more complete versions of songs that Betty Boop sings, but there are also songs like "He's So Unusual" that Betty Boop should have sung.

Did not enjoy at all
|
I did not like this movie, for several reasons. The biggest reason was because it was REALLY drawn out. I like long movies typically, but this one just took forever to end (despite the good acting). I guess it was really the plot that was lacking. Not worth your rent if you ask me.

Worse than one star.
|
The buzz I remember from this when it was a theatrical release was how Natalie Portman's nude scenes were cut. Aparently they also cut the interesting and engaging dialog also. This could not have been any worse if they cast the teletubbies as the 4 characters as the actors. For the guys out there the strip club scenes did not have any nudity. Not that a film needs nudity, but this was a symptom of the pollitically correct crowd ruining a film. Not at all believeable acting. This film should be banned as a terrorist act.I hated it, and threw out my copy, rather than sell it and subject someone else to it.

Junk! Stay away!
|
Another vote for do not buy. the collar and bulb would not stay attached, even using the "syringe technique", especially if the liquid has a lot of fat. I also experienced tube distortion due to the heat of the liquid and a high volume of drippage. In fact the only way I was able to stop it from dripping was to hold a finger over the spout hole.Total waste of money.

If my boyfriend had this album, I'd dump him like last week's garbage. Manilow is so 1975. People say he looks good for his age. Honey, that's because of all that plastic surgery, just like Cher. THUMBS DOWN.

Great Buy

I do quite a bit of teaching, so the latest versions of Power Point and Word are very useful to me. This software does feature some significant improvements of the 2000 edition, such as better presentation formats and backgrounds for Power Point, easier inclusion of graphics, animations, etc., and the new features for Word are also nice improvements. The price for these upgrades was reasonable as well.

A film about patriotic duty vs. love
|
Based on a famous Thai novel by Tommayanti, Sunset At Chaopraya (aka Khu Gam) has been made into a multilingual film.Set in Thailand during WWII; it's a story about Kobori, a Japanese soldier who unquestioningly takes command of an army base in a region called Thonburi as instructed by his superiors, but finds himself emotionally struggling with his new role and his sense of duty, as well as his deep attraction for a Thai woman named, Angsumalin.Overall, a pretty good film for those who like emotional rollercoasters. Initially, the beginning is slow, but as it progresses, you want to know how it turns out. Kind of reminds you of a certain Jane Austen story, but to mention the name would spoil the film.

The book is an honest, yet slow account of travel into PNG's interior. The climactic episode allows for some excitement, but the author's confusing sense of guilt is ridiculous and tiring.

Waste of Money

What a waste of a good idea. The author has nothing to say and thankfully says it in as few words as possible. Sample chapter gives the history of Marco Polo, with the author admitting that Polo says nothing about the compass in his writings!Don't waste your time.

Takes me back.

I was stationed on Okinawa from '87-'89. Back then, we blew all of our money on stereos. MASSIVE, RIDICULOUS stereos. Someone on our floor had this on killer hi-fi VHS and we watched it so many times we could point out audience members who farted. Great show all around. The quality is 'ok', don't expect blu-ray, but it's certainly worth adding to the collection. The old alice with Kip and Kane is still the best line up, IMHO.

attractive glasses
|
I'm happy with these. Two accidently broke straight out of the dishwasher (I didn't put them in so I think they were put on the rack wrong which didn't help), so I was worried they were as cruddy as say something you'd get at a big box store, but for a month now the rest have held up in the dishwasher well. They are an attractive but simple set which is what I was looking for.

Good seat for price
|
The Prince Lionheart soft booster seat is a good buy for the price. I was concerned about my son trying to climb out (or falling out) because of the lack of straps, but that has not been an issue; he seems pretty secure in it. Although the color isn't my first choice, the fact that it's easy to clean, lightweight, and made in Canada make up for that.
