1	Excellent Sountrack	If you enjoyed this movie you will definately love the soundtrack. All the great dance music from the movie is on this disk for your listening enjoyment. Must like rap and hip-hop. Great in the car.	positive
0	Not a wiggly amazing DVD	We have about 10 Wiggles DVD's and my 15 month old twins and 3 1/5 year old love them all. I put on this one and was very disappointed. The kids didn't even sit thru 10mnutes of it, and they usually ask to watch their other Wiggles DVD's over and over again. SOng about washing your hands after you go to the bathroom to prevent disease spreading and a song about putting your baby to sleep on their back...REALLY? This was a huge dissapointment and not up to my expectations for the Wiggles.	negative
1	Best Paper Mario Game ever	I feel that this is afun toy. It is very educational, durable and it is rated overall five stars. I feel it is a must have for the Christmas season. Can't do with out it if you own a gamecube.	positive
0	Worked only once and then Kaput	This knife had potential to replace my old General Electric. I received this knife as a gift and had only used it once for Thanksgiving last year for turkey and this week decided to slice up a rib roast. I plugged it in and nothing happened. Checked the connection, re-installed the blades, unlocked the safety mechanism for the trigger, checked the outlet with other appliances. Tried it once more and pulled the trigger on it and click, click, click,...nothing! I'm thinking to myself its a Cuisinart it doesn't do stuff like this, hell, I've had my food processor for years and its still running strong. So for whatever reason it stopped working from now on I'm going to approach their products with a wary eye especially when it comes to their more expensive appliances. They just lost some of their consumer confidence with me today. They don't make anything like they used to anymore...sigh.	negative
1	My daughter loved it!	The only complaint I have is the turning mechanism.It does not pivot which can be aggrevating when driving her.	positive
1	My kids love it	If your child is rough on toys, the basketball hoop can rip after a a while. I just sewed it back on...like new. My kids love this little toy, and I love that it folds flat for storage.	positive
0	Failed to Work	I was unable to get this game to work in Windows Vista. I inquired about a patch but did not receive a response.	negative
0	talk net head set does not work	this does not work with my u.s. socom 2 but it does work with nba live 2004 this is not right please email me back at tr558@aol.com plaese help me with my problem	negative
0	A Post Modern Mess	At first Constitutional Fate looks much like a typical anthology of the most significant modes of constitutinal argument, for this I must admit the book does a fairly good job. The problem comes at the end; where we must endure an unconnected attempt to give the book purpose. The authors argument is essentially that there is no argument.Now I must admit I am reading this for a take home final so perhaps I am just a little jaded. For one minuete I think that there is nothing but brilliance in these last few pages; only for seconds later to conclude that it is all just a bunch of smoke.	negative
0	Annoying	I enjoy Cheech and Chong movies, so I'm not not particularly biased to "stoner-type" films, and I will admit that there are some hilarious lines in this movie, but Seth Rogan's "Ralph Cramden-isque" voice, constant screaming and frenzied over-acting made me grimace throughout. I did enjoy the bizarre twists and unexpected violence amidst slapstick comedy, but the acting (overacting) was just too distracting for me to really enjoy this movie. Also the "bro-mance" was overdone - we get it guys, you are secure heterosexual males who aren't afraid to express your feelings, but again...overdone.	negative
0	might as well use a purse!	Boy, you read these reviews and most of you guys sound like you outta wear dresses. I'll take my 10 year old 21 Oz. Dalluge against any of you guys and well race for pinks, 20 8d galvs in a plywood break - 6" O.C.; or first one through a box of 16d's. That is if your poor elbows can handle it and you are not too fatigued to make it up to the roof. Seriously, any hammerhand knows that good corrugation ("milling")and balance is the key to efficient nail driving. Any hammer knowadays flattens out in a matter of days, even if you only pound nails. Of course I favor legislation that would make it a crime to use a hammer on a catspaw,other metal tools, on concrete, or on any other surface not made of wood or nails. Drop my skilsaw, cut my cord, but abuse my baby Dalluge and you got trouble. Unfortunately, they don't make em like they use to.	negative
0	Has it come to this?	If your aim is to while away time--in an airplane, in the dentist's waiting room, wherever--this works fine, but that's really all I can say for it. As fluff stuff goes TIMELINE is not top grade, but it is all right. Don't get me wrong: I like fluff as much as the next guy, and even if you disagree and think this IS top grade fluff stuff, that's fine by me. It is NOT fine by me if you call it "a masterpiece"--not because I myself happen to consider it mediocre, but because the nature of the genre itself rules out the possibility of masterpieces. Understand me, by "the genre" I do not mean science fiction--science fiction has masterpieces (Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World" and H.G. Wells's "The Time Machine", for examples)--; I mean fluff: There are no fluff masterpieces. You'd might as well compare Britney Spears to Mozart, and our (lack of) culture has got to a sorry state when this is not universally recognized.	negative
0	Don't waste your parents money.	I wouldn't give this to Toys for Tots.It's as simple as this.I've seen them live.I've listened to both albums.I'm not giving this band a shot anymore.	negative
0	Heavy, unwieldy	Heavy and unwieldy. Only 2 speeds, low & high. Low blows my hair all over--it's too high. Don't want to think about what "high" speed would do.	negative
0	Already Tired!	This book is way too demanding for someone already too tired to find the energy to read it completely. I have fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. The reviews on this book should state the demands it would make on an individual to follow its perscriptions.	negative
1	Another movie book, much better than the movie	An absolute classic. A great, fast moving read. As most seem to be, the book is far better and more timeless than the movie.	positive
0	Ear Wax Cleaner	I bought the ear wax cleaner, because I hate using Qtips I know they are not good to use. I cannot find the right size batteries for it, so therefore I cannot use it. There are no instructions telling you they type of battery goes in it. I would appreciate an answer. Thank you	negative
0	it didnt work for me...	to all women that trying to get pregy. dont waist ur money to buy this product... plz........ its not woth it.. tnks!	negative
1	Very helpful for understanding todays problems in Iraq	An excellent description of the complexities and constraints within Arab culture. The book provides a basis for understanding the problems that exist as the world gets smaller. Thank God for the inquisitiveness encouraged by western culture.	positive
1	most excellent	At least for the beginner (myself), this was great for learning how to give a back massage.	positive
1	Official Scrabble Players Dictionary / Great Aid	I purchased this for myself and 3 others so we could check our words and spelling when we play Scabble. It is a clear, concise dictionary that serves the purpose well. So far, I haven't had a problem finding any words which I needed to check. The definitions are short, the parts of speech are stated, as well as the tense. It would not do as a regular dictionary, since it is concise. It serves the purpose, is small enough to carry around, has a good introduction explaining the word entries, and has proven quite useful. It is not a way to make use of the letters you have drawn. It is simply a dictionary.	positive
0	Has to be one of the most highly overrated authors EVER!	I just couldn't see the point of this book. The prose is turgid and overwrought. Dunnett seems to think that throwing around meaningless similies (so many I started counting them per page) and quotes in foreign languages counts for style. I read "Queen's Play" because someone gave it to me and found it was just as horrific.	negative
0	Great Message but awful messengers!	A very dissapointing DVD with all of the right information but very poorly produced. An ineffective tool for raw education and sharing. Sadly, it looks like an amateur effort and in fact some of the characters highlighted are not very credible at all. Sorry!	negative
0	I ordered this product, never received it. emailed, why to seller. never received an answer. very disappointed.	very disattisfied. I ordered this product, never received it. emailed seller but never received an answer.	negative
1	Well, yes. but....	I agree with most of what the previous reviewer says although it didn't bother me as much. I just am pleased to have found this new writer who I believe is going to grow into one of the best of the best. Read it-it's worth your time, and it WILL leave you waiting for the next one.	positive
1	Vampire Musice for all seasons	This is some awesome music from a classical point of view - both in music and classic intros from Bela Legosi, whom I grew up watching. I found this cd one Holloween several years ago - and love it! ( and this is from a classic trained - rock and roll girl) good job	positive
0	Awful - do NOT buy.	Do not buy this product, it will fail on you. This is a very simple product with one purpose: keep the Garmin unit suspended from your windshield. On the 3rd day of using this, the rubber had completely torn between the suction mount and the base. My OEM unit worked fine for 2 yrs (until I lost it) and this replacement one lasted only 3 days. If you buy this, it WILL break on you. It's cheap, poorly manufactured, and is actively deceptive in its description: it's much smaller (diameter-wise) than the OEM unit it purports to be. I would try to get a refund it it weren't for the fact that the 2 hours of my life it would take is much more valuable than the $10 it cost me.Save your money and look elsewhere. Look for a larger-diameter one while you're at it.	negative
0	Out of date	If you were to assume that this book would have some incorrect information since it was published this long ago you would still be disspointed. Not only are the prices still in francs but half of the resturants listed have moved, changed their prices drastically or simply no longer exist. This book might of been valuable when it was printed but no longer is. Don't waste your money.	negative
0	Please! Clancy Fans, Walk Away From This One!	As a dedicated reader and fan of everything Clancy, it pains me to read the latest adventure of John Clark and Ding Chavez. Not since 'Sum of All Fears' has Clancy woven such a lose and outright boring tale. The story line is only exciting when the newly formed Rainbow counter-terror team deploys for action using the hightech devices at their disposal to to bring down the bad guys. When the story reveals that the true enemy is a bunch of Eco-Terrorists intent on killing the world's population...enough is enough! Tom please!?! Has the world gotten this boring since the demise of the Soviet Block? This dear Clancy fans is a must miss!	negative
1	So far so good...	I got this program almost 2 months ago. It works really well on XP and has some good features. I'd previously had a 10 year old version of Works so this is a really big change. The full version of Word is included on this software and it's really helpful for a college student who has to write essays for English and other classes at least a couple of times a month. I'll admit, I probably won't use most of the stuff in this package, but it's nice to know it's there in case I do.	positive
1	Simply Angelic!!	I do not write reviews, but for this album, I had to. First off, this will not be the album that you break out of the CD case looking for that next great beat. No, this album will require that you "listen" and allow the album to grow on you. However, once it does it is a transforming experience. Amel is not only beautiful on the outside; this album clearly shows that she is just as beautiful on the inside. Back in the "Groove Theory" days before I ever saw her, she just sounded "absolutely angelic" but, the total package is simply beyond words. Amel, thank you for adding beauty to a lame commercial market.	positive
0	All this CD talks about is sex!	I am NOT A Kid! I am a teenager.Anyway, I love Marques Houston, but this CD is evil. I am so tired of hearing sex related songs. Naked, Sex wit you, and Do you mind, I think the lyrics are disgusting. Naked was okay, but I think the music industry should limit their artist to one sex song per CD. Let's see how they would do then!I gave this CD 2 stars because i loved "All Because Of You"	negative
0	Couldn't use!	I wanted to use these to keep my 2 and a half year old from constantly making a mess out of our dvd collection. Well, it didn't work on my tv stand. If your going to buy this MAKE SURE that the inside of your cabinet has a completely flat roof. Unlike the picture, the inside piece needs to be pushed back a couple of inches in order for the door to close all the way.	negative
1	The Mitten	I love Jan Brett. Cute story and wonderful illustrations. Ordered for my grandchildren to enjoy during the Christmas season.	positive
0	Poorly made	Very poorly made - holes not drilled deep enough to hold pegs, improper number of holes for a standard cribbage board (row of holes missing because of where the board hinges), there is no latch to hold the board closed when it is folded so it is not actually convenient for travel as the cards and pegs can fall out easily, hinges were already bent upon arrival such that board does not line up flush when folded.	negative
0	Another one for the trash...	I actually bought this scale at Walmart, and it's a complete piece of junk. I had to replace the battery within the first week, and it never gave the same weight twice, even within a one-minute period. Before chucking it, it told me I weighed 30 pounds. Do NOT, under any circumstances, buy this product. All you'd be doing is wasting your money.	negative
1	Bring back Young Justice!	Young Justice is one of my favorite shows. The voice acting is great, the animation is some of the best I've ever seen, the plots are interesting, and it has a great balance between action and humor. This half of the season is even better than the first. My only complaint is that the way they split up the seasons is kind of confusing. I was so upset to hear Cartoon Network decided to cancel Young Justice and I hope they will reconsider.Highly recommended.	positive
0	Too Much Sheet Music, Too Little Teaching	The first 15 pages are nothing more than you get in thousands of other books and free on many internet sites. The rest of the book is songs in tabulature. I expected the book to teach me how to play the songs. And, when I try to play the songs, I find the small print tabulature very hard to read.	negative
1	Good for beginners	This book is exactly what the title implies - startup. It is a great starting guide for the beginner that has never seen or played with the software before. Unfortunately I was disappointed due to the fact that I wanted something more advanced. I saw the page count and assumed that this was it. If anyone writes a more advanced book with details about catalog creation and join definitions let me know!!!	positive
0	Poor toaster	Have used this toaster for over a year now. The first two weeks it was great, then things went sour. Only toasts one side, though elements still work, plus it burns the top edge on one side and the sides on the other slot. Have an old (20 years) toaster that is slower but toast evenly. Takes about 4 times longer then the Brecille. I do not recomend this toaster for the price.	negative
1	7 Steps to Living at Your Full Potential	Pastor Joel Osteen has really captured the essence of a life-fulfilled. I have listened to Tony Robbins' tapes over and over again trying to memorize what the key ingredients are to living my life to its full potential. However, Joel Osteen has gone one step farther in relating how God wants us to live our lives, and Osteen gives us the optimism to want to go out and truly experience the life that the Lord has in mind for us. It is a "no excuse" mission that we are given. I have listened to Osteen's tapes of the book, but they certainly didn't capture the essence of his philosophy like the book does. I have devoured every word. Thank you, Osteen!Jeanne RamageEducational TherapistNorthridge, California	positive
0	Omron Pressure Cuff - Center Aisle LLC	I retrurned the cuff on March 9, 2011 because it wasn't large enough. I requested a refund and as of this date I have not been refunded.	negative
0	Get a better buy at Dollartree	These ties work, but they are not really 8" velcro cable ties. They are 7" of velcro cable tie plus a 1" non-velcro Belkin tab.Dollartree has basically the same product in its hardware section, only with 7.5" of useable velcro and a much shorter tab (that still does a perfectly good job of facilitating removal), for $1.00. There are only five ties in the Dollartree package, but they are still a much better deal.The facing velcro strip (the piece that adheres to the velcro strip) is a little shorter on the Dollartree ties, so the Belkin tie might hold better if you are wrapping cable that is a little large for the length of the cable tie. But since the Dollartree ties are longer, they would fit comfortably around the same cable, so I think that's a moot point.	negative
0	Nice shoe but painful to walk in	These are nice shoes; however, the right one caused significant pain to my right foot where the little strap connects to the side of the shoe. I was on vacation and as we were walking from the hotel to Thanksgiving dinner at a nice restaurant, my foot was hurting so much that most of the way there and all the way back I walked with my right foot half-out of the shoe....very uncomfortable. I have not worn them for walking very far since then.	negative
1	Very good book	I recommend this book because it has all the information you need about philosophy. A great college textbook, worth every penny.	positive
1	Great way to start the day	This is an easy read and the devotions are easily applied to every day life. I use the app on my iPad for inspiration to start my day.	positive
1	Work great, very solid construction	I use 2 sets of these to chock the rear wheels (size 195/60R14 tires) when I have the Volvo up on a floor jack or even ramps. Between the rubber strip and the thin front 'tongue', these chocks don't have any tendency to slide when the wheel rolls. Very solid construction. Recommended.	positive
0	Do Not Buy	I would not recommend buying these. The right earpiece totally fell apart after only one month of having these which left me with only the left earpiece and the right earpiece dangling broken from the cord.	negative
0	386 Compatible Only	I picked this up [inexpensively] and encountered the common "You get what you pay for." Later that day, I drove it back. This software doesn't run on Win XP, or 98. Only thing I can guess by the date of the product, it goes back to the 386 and maybe 486 non-math co-proccessor days. Too bad because it is suppose to have about 30min. of castle footage from some BBC special. But, if the footage is monochrome or VGA quality, you'd be better off finding the video. Interplay provides little support more than what is commonly known about these MS-DOS products already circulated (PIF, driver issues, and other compatibility notes). This is typical of some of the larger companies though. It's very sad that the product has almost slipped beyond 'the bin' to 'abandonedware'. But if you have a 286 you might love the graphics because everyone I talked to can't see them.	negative
0	Plastic hinge broke off after 3 years of light use	I used these during my business trips and initially was very happy with them and their performance (noise cancelling only, since I don't use these to listen to music at all). But cannot say the same after 3 years (of periodic/light usage), since the plastic at the point where the earcups link up, has completely broken away, on one of the sides, rendering the whole unit useless.The plastic used in these $300 headphones, seems to be very cheap/non-pliable stuff and I have no idea why it did not break off sooner. Either way, it is now out of warranty and I would like to know if this problem is more pervasive, before buying Bose again.	negative
0	wwe Survivor Series Live Sunday November 23rd on pay per view	The past wwe Survivor Series pay per views have been pretty good but I'm wondering about this year's wwe Survivor Series pay per view because there hasan't been some good matches in the wwe and this year wwe Survivor Series is going to be in my area but I'm not going to go because of all the screaming and other stuff so with that being said my dad and I are going to order a pizza and order it on pay per view but I'm hoping that this years Survivor Series Pay per view will be better than all of the other Survivor Series Pay per view's I hope that a lot of you will find my review very helpful Take care and I wish you all a good rest of October please note that one star isn't my real rating because I haven't seen the card yet.	negative
1	I remembered it being better.	I remember reading this book when if first came out and I loved it. Of course that was twelve years ago.For some reason I decided to read it again and didn't enjoy it nearly as much as I thought I was going too. Perhaps it was the length of the novel or the fact that everything is sexual for Barker that threw me off this time around. Maybe I've matured in life.The characters are well developed, the detail is well done, but the story does drag at times. Frankly I was anxious to get to the end so I could start something else.The idea of five independent world waiting to be reconciled is interesting though. I read King's "The Talisman" and liked it much better	positive
1	good size but difficult data entry	Everyone knows the Pilot is a wonderful take-along source for retrieving data. For a one-way device it's fine. The "graffiti" handwriting recognition takes some getting used to, and most difficult for left handers. Almost impossible to take notes in a meeting because it's so slow. Data entry is best done from your PC/Mac, not from it's screen. You owe it to yourself to check out the Psion Series 5.	positive
1	StriVectin-SD	I have loved and used this product for years and have bought it at health stores. It has been quite expensive but worth the results. Then I discovered I could order it from Amazon for considerably less than over the counter prices. What a great bargain.	positive
1	Sci-fi Trip Exploration of Identity and Self-loathing	This is a pretty fascinating book. It's about this paid assassin who wanders around the galaxy on an assigment to kill clones, and having to impersonate a different personage or infiltrate a different society at each stop. The guy is a matricide/patricide too, and we get this very inventive sort of travelogue of different societies and identities he goes through, never really knowing the point of his mission, but eventually getting to a place called Pleasure Land where he's supposed to whack the kingpin, and a nice surprise ending ensues. The most interesting part is when he has to be a god, a criminal, a monk, an ambassador and what not, and the incredible scene where the mob boss explains his philosophy of lying openly to the women he lies to. The writing is really good, and it really keeps you turning the pages, and unlike most scifi these days it makes you think. I recommend this book very highly.	positive
0	Love Deniro and Pacino but...	the movie is too predictable. If you are a big fan of either actor, I think you'll be disappointment. Not because of the acting, but the script is too predictable.	negative
1	Best Narnia Movie So Far!	I have seen the first two Narnia movies (as well as the ooooold movie--way back in the day, years and years ago), and have to say that The Dawn Treader has been the best movie out of the three newer ones! The cousin is a little annoying at first, but quickly grows on you. Beautiful graphics and scenery in this movie! As one would expect with the Narnia series, there is no cursing, sex, vulgar gestures, etc. A good clean movie to watch with your whole family--kids definitely included! Your kids will love this movie, there is lots of adventure in it and lots of make believe that is fun for everyone (I am 25, by the way, so adults will enjoy this just as much as the kids)!	positive
1	How we gonna kick it! Gonna kick it Root Down!	What a great package from the original bad boys! " Paul's Boutique" was great but it sorta fizzeled out into weirdness toward the end and " Check your Head" brought the house down but it was a bit too long. This one is there all around best to me because it's a good mix of their usual freestylin' beats, punk sessions and incredibly chill, funky numbers like " Sabrosa". I also dig " Bodhisattva Vow". I'm a Buddhist too and consider M.C.A. a kindred spirit cuz we had the same approach. You gotta hear " Get it Together" with Q-Tip. This shows the Beasties' at their full splendor and also shows how important they are to music today.	positive
1	Nothing new, but a great bundle.	Before you but this, realize that this title is the "Monty Python's Complete Waste of Time" desktop accessory package and the "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" game bundled into one package. Nowhere in the item info does this jump out at you.Knowing that, it's a great deal. Ten bucks for two python fan must-haves.	positive
0	Interesting early, boring fast.	I was really excited to read this book. While Ms. Robson is without doubt a capable writer, in Natural History she lingers too long in murkiness. This feel works well in the open but got tiresome quickly. Difficult to differentiate characters (or were they entities?). Extreme lack of dialogue. Zzzzz . . .	negative
0	Doesnot work	It doesnt save games. It just keeps asking for formatting every time I want to save, then asks for saving but doesnt actually save. What a rip off.	negative
1	Value added	Clarke welders pack a lot of punch for the money. I own a 190en and have used a 180en. Both will put out some serious heat. If you're welding structural steel, certainly between 18 gauge and 3/8", possibly up to 1/2" with right techniques, this is a good choice. Both models have 6 heat settings, quite a lot for this style voltage selector, this 180 has a high/low range switch with 3 position dial whereas the 190 has a 6 position dial.Negatives include the low duty cycle (something like 10% at 140 amps), although I've definitely gone over that without tripping overload. Be aware that it will burn through anything thinner than 18ga steel. Good deals can be had though!	positive
0	DOESN'T WORK WITH THE NEW iPOD VIDEO	The new iPod with video doesn't have a "docket" next to the earphone plug, so this product just wont fit...	negative
1	Very nice - none of the extra fluff	When I opened the package the lid was flipped over and screwed down so it would allow you to view it. You have to take the screws out so that you can put the cover on right. When you take the screws out it leaves all these holes from the screws. I did not like that. Also all the sockets have foam under them that needs to be thrown out. After you remove all the stupid packing material it's a nice set of tools. I think I would like chrome sockets with black laser engraved socket sizes instead. Theses tool might be easy to misplace because they are black, chrome is shinier and easy to locate. Over all I do like it - because it's 1/4 and 3/8 sizes for most jobs.	positive
1	its a good game	this is a pretty good game. it has nice graphics, but they r not the best. thats one of the reasons it lost a star. ive only played the first part but so far it is pretty easy , theres another reason. the cortex guy makes some big bandicoot that trys to kill crash and you have to stop him from killing u.duh. and kill him i think. the controls r good. if u really want this game i would reccomend this but i personally think that there are better games out there for your money.	positive
0	NOT pre-shrunk	I ordered five of these and they fit well prior to washing. The listing and tags both say it is pre-shrunk cotton, but they lost close to an entire size after washing. Now I feel like I'm wearing a size small (it's tight) when I have five that used to be mediums.	negative
0	The sprayer immediately stopped working.	I hate when you buy a product and the sprayer stops working. The product did not work for us and I will look for something else.	negative
0	Clash of Orthodoxies	A serious subject addressed as a polemic. Selected quotes are set up as straw men and then attacked. Felt repetitive and unenlightening.	negative
0	guaranteed unbreakable -- NOT	I got a paid with a bike I bought used. One day, the bike fell over on its side -- a not uncommon event -- and one of these broke, right through one of the forks that holds it on the handlebar. So on that basis, I can't recommend them.	negative
0	The story in this book is meaningful, but boring.	This book is not one of Irene Hunt's greatest novels. Having read the "Lottery Rose" first, I thought that this book would have been equally as interesting. The book is set in the period of the Civil War and it is about a family who goes through a trying period because several of the men in the family leave to take part in the War. The main character is a young boy named Jethro Creighton who journeys from boyhood to manhood throughout the course of the book. He has to take on the responsibilities of the older boys when they leave. The community does not back the Creighton family because one of Jethro's brothers joins the Confederacy. This causes problems for the family as a whole. Needless to say, they stand by one another and stick together. The book has a few other little sub-plots, but none that are overly interesting. Sorry people, the book was not on my list of 'most fascinating' books to be read.	negative
1	Such a Fun Game	I got this game on the pretext of getting it for the kids, but really got it because I thought it looked fun. It's been a lot of fun helping the kids through the levels and finding those golden bolts hidden throughout the game. There are only a few things I didn't like about the game, or rather thought was frustrating. Changing weapons is a pain. You have to go to a separate menu to get to your items and weapons. Another thing is that the last few levels are so difficult it was even hard for me to get through and impossible for my kids. Other than those issues, the levels are fun and colorful. The little upgrades, new weapons, and new items make leveling up fun.	positive
0	One of the worst movies I've ever seen	The main problem with this movie is they attempted to be clever by making fun of some recent teen movies, but they did it in a very lame and unfunny way. If your going to make a satire, do it so it's very funny. But the problem with this movie is, the movies they are making fun of are good movies, and this movie just [stinks]! This movie strikes me as the kind of movie that was written in about 2 days, no depth and no wit. Young kids, I would say between the ages of 10 and 14, will probably find this movie funny because that's the level this comedy is at, very immature and very poorly written. Nice try but this one is a major strikeout. The writers of this movie may not want to quit their day jobs as the day shift managers at the local Dairy Queen. But after this flop, they're going to have to find another source of income, because they sure as heck don't have any talent as writers.	negative

1	Pampers are #1...don't settle for anything else	When it comes to diapers...it's just one of those things you can't skimp out on. Pampers cruisers are the best diapers out there. My 2 year old and 6 month old both use them. We tried every brand out there and these keep them the driest and work the best overall. It's not about the cost...just the quality. If you don't know which to buy...then these are the ones...easy as that!(Trust me...I'm a stay at home Dad with two kids under two...I've got the experience to tell you what's up!)	positive
0	A Dark Tale of Co-dependency and Incest	This book is full of dark symbolism. It is about a mother who sneaks into her little boys room to watch him go through puberty while he sleeps. She sometimes picks him up and sings to him. When he is an adult, we see that he sleeps in a single bed, meaning he never got married. Soon afterwards mom comes and pays a late night visit...she uses a ladder to crawl into his room. Shortly thereafter you see the son with a baby, but no wife, yep mother and son have produced an offspring????Later, after mother ages quite a bit, we see a strange picture where the son is cradling her next to his breast singing that sinister lullaby.Very campy stuff!!!	negative
1	I'm glad I wasn't persuaded by the negative reviews.	I almost didn't buy this phone because of the negative reviews posted here. It sounded like there were too many problems with this model. My previous experiences with VTech were good, though, so I took a chance. I'm glad I did.This is a great phone. The sound is good in the both handset and speakerphone modes. The range is good all over my house and yard. I did have to read the instructions to figure out the menu, but it didn't take long. The intercom feature is very convenient.One warning, don't buy this phone if the only place you have for it is next to a microwave or computer. They DO interfere with the phone.We really like having this phone, and use it a lot.	positive

0	This modem is terrible...	I thought I was getting a good deal when I bought this modem. After all USR is a respecable name, and the price was decent. I couldn't have been more wrong. The installation was a major pain. It took 5 tries before the installation software even detected the modem. Finally it was up and running... until the next morning. I tried to log on and nothing.. it said there was no dial tone, so I double check the connections and listen for a dail tone, all is good. So I try again... nothing. I have gone through about 3 modems in the last 10 years and this one had to have been the worst. Never had I had this problem before. Save your money and buy a different brand.	negative
0	Rinse Once and it Rusts Completely	This little tool is no more than 2.5 inches and incredibly light-weight. It's not stainless steel as it must be for the intended use. Fabrication costs would still be negligible if stainless steel had been used.I rinsed this tiny tool once and apparently didn't dry well. It rusted completely, so much so that it looks like an old nail from a long-lost shipwreck. How could Revlon market this knowing it is not stainless steel?Save a few dollars because this product is junk. Junk, junk, junk - it was deliberately made this way.	negative
1	An original thriller!	Unusual story about a serial killer who constructs methodically with explicit detail every one of his murderers: He chooses lonely woman and sends photographs hours before to commit the crime.James Spader looks very convincing but Keanu Reeves was not at his best level.The final sequence presents a visible fault in what special effects concern.Nevertheless the film gets its aim.	positive
1	This is definitely an enjoyable movie which also makes you think.	Like "Madea's" other work, this movie is a welcome voice about issues and people who are not always heard from. It has everything from pun to drama, from slapstick to pathos.The psychological study found in the characters provides a look at a lot of real and varied people, all the while having great fun with stereotypes, and offering a wonderful reminder that no group of people, and no person, is simple and monolithic. The depth and detail of the people and their stories make for a heartwarming movie. Some bits of language and innuendo may be a problem for children, but since these references are often heard in the children's schools, at least older children my even benefit from hearing them in a different and higher context.	positive
1	Enhance your system.	An inexpensive product to relocate your "C" drive from an internal mount to a front accessible slot; making your entire system a resource for any drive inserted into the rack. It's an easy way to experiment with various Linux distributions; I keep only operating system software on "C" with production work on "D" formatted in FAT32, compatible with both Windows and Linux. Switching between operating systems becomes an easy swap of "C" drives. If you also mount your "D" drive in one of these racks; cloning backup disks becomes an easy task using freeware programs such as CopyWipe available on the web. Clone "C" to a backup drive in "D", and "D" to a disk installed in "C" - you are now protected against either drive failing. After cloning; my backups become the active drives until the next cycle to insure all drives are frequently used.	positive
1	The Leopard	I've seen this movie in the sixties, the one of most beautiful movies I've ever seen, and I never forgot it since. I consider The Leopard the best role of Burt Lancaster's. I don't understand how this could happened that it is unknown to many US viewers of my generation?I cannot wait to buy The Leopard recorded on DVD, hopefully, in its original length (possibly close to 225 minutes it had in original) with all other original features kept reasonably unchanged.	positive

1	Holds Up Remarkably Well	Kate Bush is often compared to Peter Gabriel (she even sings a duet with him on "Don't Give Up" from his SO album). The comparison is epecially appropriate here: HOUNDS OF LOVE has the theatrics of early Genesis and the world-beat percussion of Gabriel's later work, not to mention the passion and lyrical intensity. But Bush definately has a style all her own; this album sounds just as fresh today as when it was released. She is a remarkable performer and songwriter...give it a listen.	positive

0	One For the Rip-Off File	Buyer beware. I generally scan CDs looking for the infamous caveat "re-recordings" so that I can avoid them like the plague. However, this CD lacked any such proviso, leaving a buyer with the impression that the recordings are the originals. They are not. They are poor imitations and are a profound disappointment to anyone seeking the nostalgic sounds of the past. But this seems to be a trend - the stealth re-recorded CD. I'm ordinarily not one for government regulation, but its needed in order to rein in this misleading practice.	negative
0	Cute story but its been done	While I applaud the kid's efforts and see a fine writing future for him, I must point out that this book is a regurgitation of every other major fantasy series to date. If it were not in fact his parent's publishing company I doubt he would have been published. The story itself is cute, but the writer is young and needs many more years of polishing before he can reach the standards of those authors he's parroting in this book. It's quite sad that there is nothing new in this book. I had hoped for better.	negative
0	Stupid Watch	This watch is basically a timex in a Nike case with a stupid watch band. The watch sits up very high (too high) for this type of band. The watch sticks out from your wrist and catches everything.Watch functions are basic stupid timex type. Chrono, timer, dual time, date, and data.Just a stupid watch. I was hoping for much more- not sure why, but I was.	negative

It's not worth paying money for. Looks great in picture but it's very dull and cheap looking when received. Even the polyester comforter sets for $30 you get at department store sales are better quality than this!!! Stay away!!!	negative
0	Worse with every use	I am so sorry to say that I fell in love with this pan. I am a veteran baker, and have baked in regular bundt pans for decades with xlnt results. Trust that I know my way around a bundt! For some reason this pan worked early on. After that, everything would stick; from simple mini cinnamon bundt cakes to angel food. I always washed it by hand (which took forever after soaking) and there were no scratches. Whether I would grease it or grease & flour it or pam it to death, things would stick to the tiny ridges and the whole cake was impossible to exricate. It was a nightmare & I am extremely patient. I "stuck" with it for about 5 years. I am writing now bec I lost it with this last batch that left as much stuck to the pan as out. I didn't even bother cleaning it this time; it's in the trash. So sad too, it is just so adorable. Sorry to say something bad about Nordic Ware.	negative

I hate to give this book such a negative review, but there comes a point when churning out yet another "free writing" book repackaged...pouring old wine, well not even old wine, maybe stale beer, in a new bottle-- and fluffing it up with sexy Zen tidbits...is resting on one's laurels....rather than saying anything substantively new, just get yourself the classic Peter Elbow book on Free Writing. Obviously Goldberg is banking on the goodwill of her publisher to allow this Wild Meandering book to make it to print.	negative

Not a wiggly amazing DVD

We have about 10 Wiggles DVD's and my 15 month old twins and 3 1/5 year old love them all. I put on this one and was very disappointed. The kids didn't even sit thru 10mnutes of it, and they usually ask to watch their other Wiggles DVD's over and over again. SOng about washing your hands after you go to the bathroom to prevent disease spreading and a song about putting your baby to sleep on their back...REALLY? This was a huge dissapointment and not up to my expectations for the Wiggles.

Worked only once and then Kaput

This knife had potential to replace my old General Electric. I received this knife as a gift and had only used it once for Thanksgiving last year for turkey and this week decided to slice up a rib roast. I plugged it in and nothing happened. Checked the connection, re-installed the blades, unlocked the safety mechanism for the trigger, checked the outlet with other appliances. Tried it once more and pulled the trigger on it and click, click, click,...nothing! I'm thinking to myself its a Cuisinart it doesn't do stuff like this, hell, I've had my food processor for years and its still running strong. So for whatever reason it stopped working from now on I'm going to approach their products with a wary eye especially when it comes to their more expensive appliances. They just lost some of their consumer confidence with me today. They don't make anything like they used to anymore...sigh.

A Post Modern Mess

At first Constitutional Fate looks much like a typical anthology of the most significant modes of constitutinal argument, for this I must admit the book does a fairly good job. The problem comes at the end; where we must endure an unconnected attempt to give the book purpose. The authors argument is essentially that there is no argument.Now I must admit I am reading this for a take home final so perhaps I am just a little jaded. For one minuete I think that there is nothing but brilliance in these last few pages; only for seconds later to conclude that it is all just a bunch of smoke.

Annoying

I enjoy Cheech and Chong movies, so I'm not not particularly biased to "stoner-type" films, and I will admit that there are some hilarious lines in this movie, but Seth Rogan's "Ralph Cramden-isque" voice, constant screaming and frenzied over-acting made me grimace throughout. I did enjoy the bizarre twists and unexpected violence amidst slapstick comedy, but the acting (overacting) was just too distracting for me to really enjoy this movie. Also the "bro-mance" was overdone - we get it guys, you are secure heterosexual males who aren't afraid to express your feelings, but again...overdone.

Boy, you read these reviews and most of you guys sound like you outta wear dresses. I'll take my 10 year old 21 Oz. Dalluge against any of you guys and well race for pinks, 20 8d galvs in a plywood break - 6" O.C.; or first one through a box of 16d's. That is if your poor elbows can handle it and you are not too fatigued to make it up to the roof. Seriously, any hammerhand knows that good corrugation ("milling")and balance is the key to efficient nail driving. Any hammer knowadays flattens out in a matter of days, even if you only pound nails. Of course I favor legislation that would make it a crime to use a hammer on a catspaw,other metal tools, on concrete, or on any other surface not made of wood or nails. Drop my skilsaw, cut my cord, but abuse my baby Dalluge and you got trouble. Unfortunately, they don't make em like they use to.

Has it come to this?

If your aim is to while away time--in an airplane, in the dentist's waiting room, wherever--this works fine, but that's really all I can say for it. As fluff stuff goes TIMELINE is not top grade, but it is all right. Don't get me wrong: I like fluff as much as the next guy, and even if you disagree and think this IS top grade fluff stuff, that's fine by me. It is NOT fine by me if you call it "a masterpiece"--not because I myself happen to consider it mediocre, but because the nature of the genre itself rules out the possibility of masterpieces. Understand me, by "the genre" I do not mean science fiction--science fiction has masterpieces (Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World" and H.G. Wells's "The Time Machine", for examples)--; I mean fluff: There are no fluff masterpieces. You'd might as well compare Britney Spears to Mozart, and our (lack of) culture has got to a sorry state when this is not universally recognized.

Official Scrabble Players Dictionary / Great Aid

I purchased this for myself and 3 others so we could check our words and spelling when we play Scabble. It is a clear, concise dictionary that serves the purpose well. So far, I haven't had a problem finding any words which I needed to check. The definitions are short, the parts of speech are stated, as well as the tense. It would not do as a regular dictionary, since it is concise. It serves the purpose, is small enough to carry around, has a good introduction explaining the word entries, and has proven quite useful. It is not a way to make use of the letters you have drawn. It is simply a dictionary.

Has to be one of the most highly overrated authors EVER!

I just couldn't see the point of this book. The prose is turgid and overwrought. Dunnett seems to think that throwing around meaningless similies (so many I started counting them per page) and quotes in foreign languages counts for style. I read "Queen's Play" because someone gave it to me and found it was just as horrific.

Awful - do NOT buy.

Do not buy this product, it will fail on you. This is a very simple product with one purpose: keep the Garmin unit suspended from your windshield. On the 3rd day of using this, the rubber had completely torn between the suction mount and the base. My OEM unit worked fine for 2 yrs (until I lost it) and this replacement one lasted only 3 days. If you buy this, it WILL break on you. It's cheap, poorly manufactured, and is actively deceptive in its description: it's much smaller (diameter-wise) than the OEM unit it purports to be. I would try to get a refund it it weren't for the fact that the 2 hours of my life it would take is much more valuable than the $10 it cost me.Save your money and look elsewhere. Look for a larger-diameter one while you're at it.

Please! Clancy Fans, Walk Away From This One!

As a dedicated reader and fan of everything Clancy, it pains me to read the latest adventure of John Clark and Ding Chavez. Not since 'Sum of All Fears' has Clancy woven such a lose and outright boring tale. The story line is only exciting when the newly formed Rainbow counter-terror team deploys for action using the hightech devices at their disposal to to bring down the bad guys. When the story reveals that the true enemy is a bunch of Eco-Terrorists intent on killing the world's population...enough is enough! Tom please!?! Has the world gotten this boring since the demise of the Soviet Block? This dear Clancy fans is a must miss!

So far so good...

I got this program almost 2 months ago. It works really well on XP and has some good features. I'd previously had a 10 year old version of Works so this is a really big change.

Simply Angelic!!

I do not write reviews, but for this album, I had to. First off, this will not be the album that you break out of the CD case looking for that next great beat. No, this album will require that you "listen" and allow the album to grow on you. However, once it does it is a transforming experience. Amel is not only beautiful on the outside; this album clearly shows that she is just as beautiful on the inside. Back in the "Groove Theory" days before I ever saw her, she just sounded "absolutely angelic" but, the total package is simply beyond words. Amel, thank you for adding beauty to a lame commercial market.

Young Justice is one of my favorite shows. The voice acting is great, the animation is some of the best I've ever seen, the plots are interesting, and it has a great balance between action and humor.

I was so upset to hear Cartoon Network decided to cancel Young Justice and I hope they will reconsider.Highly recommended.

Poor toaster

Have used this toaster for over a year now. The first two weeks it was great, then things went sour. Only toasts one side, though elements still work, plus it burns the top edge on one side and the sides on the other slot. Have an old (20 years) toaster that is slower but toast evenly. Takes about 4 times longer then the Brecille. I do not recomend this toaster for the price.

7 Steps to Living at Your Full Potential

Pastor Joel Osteen has really captured the essence of a life-fulfilled. I have listened to Tony Robbins' tapes over and over again trying to memorize what the key ingredients are to living my life to its full potential. However, Joel Osteen has gone one step farther in relating how God wants us to live our lives, and Osteen gives us the optimism to want to go out and truly experience the life that the Lord has in mind for us. It is a "no excuse" mission that we are given. I have listened to Osteen's tapes of the book, but they certainly didn't capture the essence of his philosophy like the book does. I have devoured every word. Thank you, Osteen!Jeanne RamageEducational TherapistNorthridge, California

Get a better buy at Dollartree

These ties work, but they are not really 8" velcro cable ties. They are 7" of velcro cable tie plus a 1" non-velcro Belkin tab.Dollartree has basically the same product in its hardware section, only with 7.5" of useable velcro and a much shorter tab (that still does a perfectly good job of facilitating removal), for $1.00. There are only five ties in the Dollartree package, but they are still a much better deal.The facing velcro strip (the piece that adheres to the velcro strip) is a little shorter on the Dollartree ties, so the Belkin tie might hold better if you are wrapping cable that is a little large for the length of the cable tie. But since the Dollartree ties are longer, they would fit comfortably around the same cable, so I think that's a moot point.

Nice shoe but painful to walk in

These are nice shoes; however, the right one caused significant pain to my right foot where the little strap connects to the side of the shoe. I was on vacation and as we were walking from the hotel to Thanksgiving dinner at a nice restaurant, my foot was hurting so much that most of the way there and all the way back I walked with my right foot half-out of the shoe....very uncomfortable.

386 Compatible Only

I picked this up [inexpensively] and encountered the common "You get what you pay for." Later that day, I drove it back. This software doesn't run on Win XP, or 98. Only thing I can guess by the date of the product, it goes back to the 386 and maybe 486 non-math co-proccessor days. Too bad because it is suppose to have about 30min. of castle footage from some BBC special. But, if the footage is monochrome or VGA quality, you'd be better off finding the video. Interplay provides little support more than what is commonly known about these MS-DOS products already circulated (PIF, driver issues, and other compatibility notes). This is typical of some of the larger companies though. It's very sad that the product has almost slipped beyond 'the bin' to 'abandonedware'. But if you have a 286 you might love the graphics because everyone I talked to can't see them.

Plastic hinge broke off after 3 years of light use

I used these during my business trips and initially was very happy with them and their performance (noise cancelling only, since I don't use these to listen to music at all). But cannot say the same after 3 years (of periodic/light usage), since the plastic at the point where the earcups link up, has completely broken away, on one of the sides, rendering the whole unit useless.The plastic used in these $300 headphones, seems to be very cheap/non-pliable stuff and I have no idea why it did not break off sooner. Either way, it is now out of warranty and I would like to know if this problem is more pervasive, before buying Bose again.

I remembered it being better.

I remember reading this book when if first came out and I loved it. Of course that was twelve years ago.For some reason I decided to read it again and didn't enjoy it nearly as much as I thought I was going too. Perhaps it was the length of the novel or the fact that everything is sexual for Barker that threw me off this time around. Maybe I've matured in life.The characters are well developed, the detail is well done, but the story does drag at times. Frankly I was anxious to get to the end so I could start something else.The idea of five independent world waiting to be reconciled is interesting though. I read King's "The Talisman" and liked it much better

good size but difficult data entry

Everyone knows the Pilot is a wonderful take-along source for retrieving data. For a one-way device it's fine. The "graffiti" handwriting recognition takes some getting used to, and most difficult for left handers. Almost impossible to take notes in a meeting because it's so slow. Data entry is best done from your PC/Mac, not from it's screen. You owe it to yourself to check out the Psion Series 5.

Sci-fi Trip Exploration of Identity and Self-loathing

This is a pretty fascinating book. It's about this paid assassin who wanders around the galaxy on an assigment to kill clones, and having to impersonate a different personage or infiltrate a different society at each stop. The guy is a matricide/patricide too, and we get this very inventive sort of travelogue of different societies and identities he goes through, never really knowing the point of his mission, but eventually getting to a place called Pleasure Land where he's supposed to whack the kingpin, and a nice surprise ending ensues. The most interesting part is when he has to be a god, a criminal, a monk, an ambassador and what not, and the incredible scene where the mob boss explains his philosophy of lying openly to the women he lies to. The writing is really good, and it really keeps you turning the pages, and unlike most scifi these days it makes you think. I recommend this book very highly.

the movie is too predictable. If you are a big fan of either actor, I think you'll be disappointment. Not because of the acting, but the script is too predictable.

Best Narnia Movie So Far!

I have seen the first two Narnia movies (as well as the ooooold movie--way back in the day, years and years ago), and have to say that The Dawn Treader has been the best movie out of the three newer ones! The cousin is a little annoying at first, but quickly grows on you. Beautiful graphics and scenery in this movie! As one would expect with the Narnia series, there is no cursing, sex, vulgar gestures, etc. A good clean movie to watch with your whole family--kids definitely included! Your kids will love this movie, there is lots of adventure in it and lots of make believe that is fun for everyone (I am 25, by the way, so adults will enjoy this just as much as the kids)!

How we gonna kick it! Gonna kick it Root Down!

What a great package from the original bad boys! " Paul's Boutique" was great but it sorta fizzeled out into weirdness toward the end and " Check your Head" brought the house down but it was a bit too long. This one is there all around best to me because it's a good mix of their usual freestylin' beats, punk sessions and incredibly chill, funky numbers like " Sabrosa". I also dig " Bodhisattva Vow". I'm a Buddhist too and consider M.C.A. a kindred spirit cuz we had the same approach. You gotta hear " Get it Together" with Q-Tip. This shows the Beasties' at their full splendor and also shows how important they are to music today.

Nothing new, but a great bundle.

Before you but this, realize that this title is the "Monty Python's Complete Waste of Time" desktop accessory package and the "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" game bundled into one package. Nowhere in the item info does this jump out at you.Knowing that, it's a great deal. Ten bucks for two python fan must-haves.

Interesting early, boring fast.

I was really excited to read this book. While Ms. Robson is without doubt a capable writer, in Natural History she lingers too long in murkiness. This feel works well in the open but got tiresome quickly. Difficult to differentiate characters (or were they entities?). Extreme lack of dialogue. Zzzzz . . .

Value added

Clarke welders pack a lot of punch for the money. I own a 190en and have used a 180en. Both will put out some serious heat. If you're welding structural steel, certainly between 18 gauge and 3/8", possibly up to 1/2" with right techniques, this is a good choice. Both models have 6 heat settings, quite a lot for this style voltage selector, this 180 has a high/low range switch with 3 position dial whereas the 190 has a 6 position dial.Negatives include the low duty cycle (something like 10% at 140 amps), although I've definitely gone over that without tripping overload. Be aware that it will burn through anything thinner than 18ga steel. Good deals can be had though!

Very nice - none of the extra fluff

When I opened the package the lid was flipped over and screwed down so it would allow you to view it. You have to take the screws out so that you can put the cover on right. When you take the screws out it leaves all these holes from the screws. I did not like that. Also all the sockets have foam under them that needs to be thrown out. After you remove all the stupid packing material it's a nice set of tools. I think I would like chrome sockets with black laser engraved socket sizes instead. Theses tool might be easy to misplace because they are black, chrome is shinier and easy to locate. Over all I do like it - because it's 1/4 and 3/8 sizes for most jobs.

this is a pretty good game. it has nice graphics, but they r not the best. thats one of the reasons it lost a star. ive only played the first part but so far it is pretty easy , theres another reason. the cortex guy makes some big bandicoot that trys to kill crash and you have to stop him from killing u.duh. and kill him i think. the controls r good. if u really want this game i would reccomend this but i personally think that there are better games out there for your money.

NOT pre-shrunk

I ordered five of these and they fit well prior to washing. The listing and tags both say it is pre-shrunk cotton, but they lost close to an entire size after washing. Now I feel like I'm wearing a size small (it's tight) when I have five that used to be mediums.

The story in this book is meaningful, but boring.

This book is not one of Irene Hunt's greatest novels. Having read the "Lottery Rose" first, I thought that this book would have been equally as interesting. The book is set in the period of the Civil War and it is about a family who goes through a trying period because several of the men in the family leave to take part in the War. The main character is a young boy named Jethro Creighton who journeys from boyhood to manhood throughout the course of the book. He has to take on the responsibilities of the older boys when they leave. The community does not back the Creighton family because one of Jethro's brothers joins the Confederacy. This causes problems for the family as a whole. Needless to say, they stand by one another and stick together. The book has a few other little sub-plots, but none that are overly interesting. Sorry people, the book was not on my list of 'most fascinating' books to be read.

Such a Fun Game

I got this game on the pretext of getting it for the kids, but really got it because I thought it looked fun. It's been a lot of fun helping the kids through the levels and finding those golden bolts hidden throughout the game. There are only a few things I didn't like about the game, or rather thought was frustrating. Changing weapons is a pain. You have to go to a separate menu to get to your items and weapons. Another thing is that the last few levels are so difficult it was even hard for me to get through and impossible for my kids. Other than those issues, the levels are fun and colorful. The little upgrades, new weapons, and new items make leveling up fun.

One of the worst movies I've ever seen

The main problem with this movie is they attempted to be clever by making fun of some recent teen movies, but they did it in a very lame and unfunny way. If your going to make a satire, do it so it's very funny. But the problem with this movie is, the movies they are making fun of are good movies, and this movie just [stinks]! This movie strikes me as the kind of movie that was written in about 2 days, no depth and no wit. Young kids, I would say between the ages of 10 and 14, will probably find this movie funny because that's the level this comedy is at, very immature and very poorly written. Nice try but this one is a major strikeout. The writers of this movie may not want to quit their day jobs as the day shift managers at the local Dairy Queen. But after this flop, they're going to have to find another source of income, because they sure as heck don't have any talent as writers.

A Dark Tale of Co-dependency and Incest

This book is full of dark symbolism. It is about a mother who sneaks into her little boys room to watch him go through puberty while he sleeps. She sometimes picks him up and sings to him. When he is an adult, we see that he sleeps in a single bed, meaning he never got married. Soon afterwards mom comes and pays a late night visit...she uses a ladder to crawl into his room. Shortly thereafter you see the son with a baby, but no wife, yep mother and son have produced an offspring????Later, after mother ages quite a bit, we see a strange picture where the son is cradling her next to his breast singing that sinister lullaby.Very campy stuff!!!

I'm glad I wasn't persuaded by the negative reviews.

I almost didn't buy this phone because of the negative reviews posted here. It sounded like there were too many problems with this model. My previous experiences with VTech were good, though, so I took a chance. I'm glad I did.This is a great phone. The sound is good in the both handset and speakerphone modes. The range is good all over my house and yard. I did have to read the instructions to figure out the menu, but it didn't take long. The intercom feature is very convenient.One warning, don't buy this phone if the only place you have for it is next to a microwave or computer. They DO interfere with the phone.We really like having this phone, and use it a lot.

This modem is terrible...

I thought I was getting a good deal when I bought this modem. After all USR is a respecable name, and the price was decent. I couldn't have been more wrong. The installation was a major pain. It took 5 tries before the installation software even detected the modem. Finally it was up and running... until the next morning. I tried to log on and nothing.. it said there was no dial tone, so I double check the connections and listen for a dail tone, all is good. So I try again... nothing. I have gone through about 3 modems in the last 10 years and this one had to have been the worst. Never had I had this problem before. Save your money and buy a different brand.

Rinse Once and it Rusts Completely

This little tool is no more than 2.5 inches and incredibly light-weight. It's not stainless steel as it must be for the intended use. Fabrication costs would still be negligible if stainless steel had been used.I rinsed this tiny tool once and apparently didn't dry well. It rusted completely, so much so that it looks like an old nail from a long-lost shipwreck. How could Revlon market this knowing it is not stainless steel?Save a few dollars because this product is junk. Junk, junk, junk - it was deliberately made this way.

An original thriller!

Unusual story about a serial killer who constructs methodically with explicit detail every one of his murderers: He chooses lonely woman and sends photographs hours before to commit the crime.James Spader looks very convincing but Keanu Reeves was not at his best level.The final sequence presents a visible fault in what special effects concern.Nevertheless the film gets its aim.

This is definitely an enjoyable movie which also makes you think.

Like "Madea's" other work, this movie is a welcome voice about issues and people who are not always heard from. It has everything from pun to drama, from slapstick to pathos.The psychological study found in the characters provides a look at a lot of real and varied people, all the while having great fun with stereotypes, and offering a wonderful reminder that no group of people, and no person, is simple and monolithic. The depth and detail of the people and their stories make for a heartwarming movie. Some bits of language and innuendo may be a problem for children, but since these references are often heard in the children's schools, at least older children my even benefit from hearing them in a different and higher context.

Enhance your system.

An inexpensive product to relocate your "C" drive from an internal mount to a front accessible slot; making your entire system a resource for any drive inserted into the rack. It's an easy way to experiment with various Linux distributions; I keep only operating system software on "C" with production work on "D" formatted in FAT32, compatible with both Windows and Linux. Switching between operating systems becomes an easy swap of "C" drives. If you also mount your "D" drive in one of these racks; cloning backup disks becomes an easy task using freeware programs such as CopyWipe available on the web. Clone "C" to a backup drive in "D", and "D" to a disk installed in "C" - you are now protected against either drive failing. After cloning; my backups become the active drives until the next cycle to insure all drives are frequently used.

The Leopard

I've seen this movie in the sixties, the one of most beautiful movies I've ever seen, and I never forgot it since. I consider The Leopard the best role of Burt Lancaster's. I don't understand how this could happened that it is unknown to many US viewers of my generation?I cannot wait to buy The Leopard recorded on DVD, hopefully, in its original length (possibly close to 225 minutes it had in original) with all other original features kept reasonably unchanged.

Holds Up Remarkably Well

Kate Bush is often compared to Peter Gabriel (she even sings a duet with him on "Don't Give Up" from his SO album). The comparison is epecially appropriate here: HOUNDS OF LOVE has the theatrics of early Genesis and the world-beat percussion of Gabriel's later work, not to mention the passion and lyrical intensity. But Bush definately has a style all her own; this album sounds just as fresh today as when it was released. She is a remarkable performer and songwriter...give it a listen.

One For the Rip-Off File

Buyer beware. I generally scan CDs looking for the infamous caveat "re-recordings" so that I can avoid them like the plague. However, this CD lacked any such proviso, leaving a buyer with the impression that the recordings are the originals. They are not. They are poor imitations and are a profound disappointment to anyone seeking the nostalgic sounds of the past. But this seems to be a trend - the stealth re-recorded CD. I'm ordinarily not one for government regulation, but its needed in order to rein in this misleading practice.

Cute story but its been done

While I applaud the kid's efforts and see a fine writing future for him, I must point out that this book is a regurgitation of every other major fantasy series to date. If it were not in fact his parent's publishing company I doubt he would have been published. The story itself is cute, but the writer is young and needs many more years of polishing before he can reach the standards of those authors he's parroting in this book. It's quite sad that there is nothing new in this book. I had hoped for better.

Paid $39.99. Just shopping for extra comforter sets. Not expecting much. However, it was worse than imagined.... Poorly made. Cheap rough material. Extra pillows are not a bonus. The sheets, shams, everything seemed to be sewn hastily. Loose threads. Comforter is not warm. Fairly thin. One wash and everything is wrinkled.Do not waste your time with this brand. It's not worth paying money for. Looks great in picture but it's very dull and cheap looking when received. Even the polyester comforter sets for $30 you get at department store sales are better quality than this!!! Stay away!!!

Worse with every use

I am so sorry to say that I fell in love with this pan. I am a veteran baker, and have baked in regular bundt pans for decades with xlnt results. Trust that I know my way around a bundt! For some reason this pan worked early on. After that, everything would stick; from simple mini cinnamon bundt cakes to angel food. I always washed it by hand (which took forever after soaking) and there were no scratches. Whether I would grease it or grease & flour it or pam it to death, things would stick to the tiny ridges and the whole cake was impossible to exricate. It was a nightmare & I am extremely patient. I "stuck" with it for about 5 years. I am writing now bec I lost it with this last batch that left as much stuck to the pan as out. I didn't even bother cleaning it this time; it's in the trash. So sad too, it is just so adorable. Sorry to say something bad about Nordic Ware.
