1 | Excellent but Delicate | This popcorn popper does indeed work well and is worth the money. You need to be very careful when turning the crank so you don't break the plastic gears. Once the popcorn is done popping and the crank meets some resistance STOP turning and take off the heat. If you try to force the crank it will break the gears.Also, when washing it you have to be more careful than I fear some people are capable of being. It is a fragile item and you will break it if you don't move slowly and wash very carefully. I ordered one and broke it on the first batch. I returned it and this second one is working like a charm now that I'm aware of how delicate it is.I do recommend it for perfect popcorn. And as a side note go with the Paragon Coconut oil and the Flavacol seasoning. | 1,624 |

Not because it's not a good album, I'm just burnt out from Christmas shopping!!!Ha-ha-ha!!!-Okay, my review...it's a wonderful Cd.,She relay's a short talk about her Grandmother, very endearing and sweet.-Cut number three "Baby, its cold outside"..with her EX, is great vocally.Also, "I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus" is cute.I have always liked Jessica. Have you tried her perfume, "Fancy"???....Great fragrance!!! Anyway, another product...and a great CD, to go with!!Happy New Year!!:) | 841 |

0 | Enough is Enough | Silk please...... you are destroying No Limit records. Master P is still allowing Silk to drop records and he wonders why No Limit lost all their respect a couple of years ago. My World My Way is a weak album. Making tracks with Tina ? Bad combination. A better combination would be Kelly Price and Kool Keith. Silk you have enough money dunn, stop destroying hiphop. | 34,861 |
0 | A dangerous book | This is a dangerous book. As a paediatrician I have treated one patient whose parents followed the advice in this book. They fed their infant nothing but barley water and goats milk and he ended up with a severe blood disorder due to vitamin deficiency. He is lucky not to have been brain damaged. At least one child has died after his parents followed the advice of Adelle Davis and gave him potassium to treat infant colic (her estate was successfully sued). There have been numerous other instances of children becoming very sick from following her advice. Do not buy this book. | 31,217 |
1 | Smart, funny, and yes, SEXY | Never has an actor and actress have more chemistry and Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Their chemistry and an entertaining script give readers more than just eye candy. I haven't enjoyed a Brad Pitt movie in years-might be as far back as 'Seven'. Going in to see this film, I wasn't expecting funny. This movie is indeed that.The movie starts off with two assasins attending marriage couseling. (That in itself is a hoot) and quickly escalates to bond action freezy when the husband and wife are ordered to off each other. Any more than that will totally be giving the story away--but this movie is a definite must-see. | 40,556 |
0 | Not Grammy Gold | This CD was better than the endless hours of radio play it received but not good enough to upset the hard work and dedication real singer/songwriters such as Bruce Springsteen have given us for over 30 years. The songs are nice if you're strapped in the backseat of your Father's Oldsmobile with windows that only roll down half-way. But if you are between the ages of 0-60 put this CD on your funeral-setlist and until then listen to likeable, knowledgable, creative, artistic, resourceful, eye-popping, heart-stopping, earthshakin', earthquakin', pants-droppin', Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band. What were the Grammy people thinking when they voted? | 48,598 |
0 | There is no longer a line between good and evil... | IT wasn't that this book was poorly written or that it was totally bad. It's just the author has taken both heros and villians and turned the tables completely around.In all the other books I have read, Mordred is an evil, treacherous villian no better than his half sister, the witch Morgan le Fay. Here he is portrayed as merely confused and scared. I for one am also scared. We have lost the boundry between good and evil and when that boundry is taken away people begin to really think good is evil and evil is good. And when that happens, total anarchy ensues.I highly recommend that you DO NOT read this book as well as it's counterpart "I am Morgan Le Fay". THe philosophy is too dangerous to get involved in.HOwever, if you're looking for a great story from Camelot I highly recommend "KIng Arthur and His KNights" By ANthony MOckler. I have read many king Arthur books and by far this is the best out there. At least someone can get the story right! | 1,049 |
0 | Amazon sucks! | After placing this order, which was clearly stated in-stock, Amazon actually never shipped it to me. They have the tracking number and everything, but when I called UPS, they said that Amazon never called them to pick-up the merchandize yet. I was told that Amazon wants to wait for the palette to be full before having shippping company picking the entire palette (?).Anyhow, this is the 2nd time this happened to me, and I wouldn't be surprised if it happened to other Amazon customers, too. More than 6 months ago, I ordered two T-mobile phones and had the same problem. In both times, when I called, all they can do is apologizing.I myself a long time customer of Amazon, but I've decided not to buy from this company anymore. There's nothing more frustrating than guessing when you would get the thinngs you've paid for.This company used to be my #1 choice, but it sucks big time nowadays. Beware when you order! | 40,380 |
1 | Madden NFL 2002 Advance | Madden 2002 is based on the SNES engine of Madden. The graphics can certainly be better, but the gameplay in Madden will certainly be where it counts. Creating Teams, battery-back'd up save and all is very sweet. | 16,786 |
0 | Overpriced | This pan fails to deliver. This pan is the black sheep of the All Clad line. It is made of solid stainless steel and is not an aluminum triply pan as it is advertised. It is also made in Korea unlike the other All Clad products which are made in the USA. Shop around there are better products out there for half the price. | 36,333 |
0 | An appalling �RIP-OFF� of �Deep Impact� | The makers of this movie thought that they could make a good movie just by using an infinite budget, excessive advertising campaign, employing fat, lazy, aging over-paid actors (not mentioning any names - Bruce Willis), and by totally copying and ripping-off a movie - "Deep Impact".Well they have failed miserably; they forgot that it takes - originality and imagination too. Also, very shallow, superficial and tacky.The 1 star goes to the Aerosmith soundtrack & Aerosmith's frontman's daughter - Liv Tyler.A shamefull rip-off... | 14,698 |
1 | An Exellent Adventure | Like The Alienist, an excellent adventure into another time. Tightly written drama, plays out in your mind so that late at night you almost wake up in another time when you fall asleep with this book in your hands. I can't wait to read the next in this series, and between Caleb Carr in New York and Mark Graham's Philadelphia historical mysteries, I can spend more time in the past in print than I'd ever want to in real life. | 41,644 |
0 | Not so Hot | I really wish I had got something else. The basket is hard to latch on and bends very easily. The foot rest is very far back and the handle not very comfortable. If I had read these reviews then, I would have bought alot of different stuff. | 16,893 |
1 | Great independent film Str8 to video | Wow! Didn't expect this to be so good. It reminds me a little of the film CHANCE by Amber Benson (Tara: From Buffy the Vampire Slayer fame)with a dash of CLERKS-ish humor with a few zombies thrown in!!The quality of the film is great. Zombie effects could have been better but cudos to the first scene, where a zombie gets shot and smoke is oozing out the hole in its head! Another flaw is the character Bennie--His hair goes from short to buzz cut back and forth within scenes giving it a wierd feel. All the acting was really good--actually better and more believable than the "pretty" boys and girls found on network tv nowadays!Otherwise, this is a funny modern zomedy film. Definately worth checking out. The maker of this flick surely has a promising film carrer. | 24,634 |
0 | Tedious self-indulgent noodling | I remember where I was the first time I heard Echo Beach - the beer cellar at Queen's College, Oxford. But it is asking a bit much of a single hook, however memorable, to support an entire CD of variations. And what variations - interminable, repetitive, soporific, with admittedly polished production passed off for originality and invention. They could barely be further removed - in the wrong direction - from the naive energy of the original. Oddest of all, the original songwriter has not merely endorsed the project, but appears actually to have re-recorded his little masterpiece (with Martha) for these vivisectionists. The album calls itself a tribute. Burnt offering, more like. | 21,420 |

0 | Rubs Off and Stains | This product rubs off of your skin and gets on to your clothing (or any other fabric -- like a chair or a car interior) and stains the fabric. Not recommended. | 24,710 |
1 | Wierdness From the 50s! | Very cheap movie from the 50s, but very effectivly wierd and eerie! A test pilot takes off on a run and lands at the same airbase he took off from, but the the buildings are all abandoned and dilapidated. He's in the future, and finds everyone living in a citadel. The men are impotent and women can read minds. He is selected to mate with a healthy woman, who happens to be mute, to continue the human race.There are a bunch of crazy mutants held prisoner, who escape and the pilot has to try to get back to his jet before others destroy it and escape back to the past.Cool futuristic sets and and bizarre ambience.While cheap, it's not bad the way "Plan 9" is. Interesting time travel flick from the perspective of the 50s. | 30,113 |
1 | A classic! But... | I've loved this book since I was young, and growing older has not diminished my appreciation of this romantic 'history'. The tale is gripping, the protagonist engaging, and the wordiness comic enough to keep most readers entertained.My only gripe is the lack of attention to detail. It is obvious that the work was completed over time, and Dumas forgot some of the things he'd already written, inserting them again at a later point but completely out of their original context (for example, the promotion in Ch.28). Things of this nature pop up throughout the novel, and unfortunately draw the reader OUT of the world in which they are, until then, successfully immersed.Gripes aside, however, the novel is a definite classic and will forever remain, I am sure, one of my favourite pieces of work. | 38,632 |
1 | Braun 9595 | Pleased with this shaver. It is as good as my old Braun from 6 years ago. The old one still worked, but I lost part of the power cord, so I figured I would treat myself to an new one. Now I should buy a power cord for my old one so that I have a usable spare. With regard to the 9595, I only wish it had a cover for the foil for bringing back and forth from my car. Instead I have to use the travel case which makes it bulkier. I would buy again. | 13,546 |
0 | Buy the Blue single | The only reason I bought this album was for the Blue song. All the other songs are not good. If you can, go for the single, its cheaper and you'll feel a lot better.(By the way, Blue is not that good of a song either, I personally don't care much for the cheezy vocals.) | 39,084 |
1 | looks and works great | this makes your desk look excellant,i put 1 on each side to have more ports available they work like they advertised | 41,519 |
0 | Disappointed for the most part | While I bought this book with much anticipation of receiving some really hepful info, I was disappointed throughout.In hindsight I wasted my money. Ok, it had a few good points but it was NOT worth the money. Don't waste yours... | 21,189 |
0 | Disappointment | This volume was a total disappointment. It contained few historic maps of Arizona and fewer details of its history. A large part of the book were boring maps of various demographic details hardly relating to what you would want in a supposed historical atlas. You can find better data free on the web... | 8,473 |
1 | Not bad | This cd is alright. The songs can get old though as only a few appeal to my interest. However, I do enjoy listening to them every once and a while because some of their songs give you that rush.Again, this cd is only alright. It could be better, but it is a good cd to purchase if you want to hear some heavier rock. | 22,125 |
0 | 3 Temp Probes failed in a year! | I initially loved this item and even bought one for a friend. Since then I have replaced the probe 3 times. The last probe only lasted 1 time and then failed in the middle of the prime rib I was cooking, leaving me to guess! Weber should think twice before putting their name on this product. There is no reason why these probes should fail as I have used thermocouples in industrial applications that hold up well and are inexpensive. Weber has replaced 2 of the probes, but are now saying they will charge for the next one. They take several weeks to get and cost about $11.00. | 40,858 |
1 | Awesome!! | A Walk To Remeber is a sad love story, that touches your heart, and makes you want to live your life to the fufillest. | 8,610 |
0 | No stars | This book was so boring; I could not make myself read it. It was on my desk for 6 weeks, I would read a sentence and leave it there. Finally, I just skimmed trough pages.No plot, no characters, no action, to excitement, no suspense, medically incorrect, technically unbelievable - total waste. | 32,795 |
1 | Batteries are better | You have to be very careful putting the v-smile pocket on it and even if you do it might lose connection when you're not looking. It lasted a year and a half (not bad) and now we're back to batteries. We've found that the lithium batteries last just as long as the charge for this product so we've invested in rechargable batteries and are much happier. | 37,596 |
1 | Use as Gift | It was for Christmas gift and someone loves it so I can say that it is a good movie. I haven't seen it myself so I can't say much about it. | 24,194 |
0 | This collection of plagiarized gibberish deserves a negative 5 stars | Sorry, babbling moonbats.Material in this "book" was plagiarized, lifted, STOLEN, word-for-word, from previously-published materials.The "author" is IN HIDING as a result, and refuses to surface for fear of well-deserved lawsuits. He's a phony in every way imaginable or describable. The fact that he CONTINUES to make money off of THEFT indicates just what a snake-oil salesman he is.Of course, he needs willing skulls to fill with his drivel--so your lives have not been totally wasted. Well, on the other hand... | 48,339 |
0 | Great but for a fatal flaw | So I bought my pair of Bronx shoes from a shoe store, not Amazon, but they are the same model. I really like the style, and they are very comfortable. I liked everything about the shoes until one of the eyelets came apart and scratched a hole through the shoe tongue about five months after I bought them. No problem, I thought, Bronx is supposed to be great about repairing or replacing shoes. Well, that is not the case. I emailed Bronx, and they were not helpful at all. So, this is a great shoe, but it seems to have a manufacturing defect wherein the holes that the laces go through come undone and a little metal wire will poke through. I didn't use these as football shoes or anything, just light to normal use. Well, it was all too bad, because I wanted to love them. Would not recommend for the price. | 40,705 |
1 | 2-Line Phone | Unit performs exactly as advertised. A little disappointed in the sound quality while on speakerphone, but overall a very good buy for the money. | 15,120 |
1 | beautiful | This is my favorite Christmas CD of all time!! However, how come it costs so much on Amazon? They are still available on the GLAD website so they are not a collector's item yet. | 28,456 |
0 | The same person wrote "Women's Room"? | I can't believe the same author who wrote one of my favorite books, "The Women's Room", wrote this junk.I never believed the narrator was that nuts about George...it seemed to me she was more awestruck with her lesbian friends who had forged solid relationships than she was with the fickle George.My wonderful spouse brought this book home to me, after finding in in the bargin bin. $3.98 was too much to pay for this sloppy, unbelieveable story from such a first-rate author. Let's hope she pulls herself together for her next effort, or it, too, will end up in the "Library Fire Sale" stack at my house. | 39,606 |
1 | Mom loves it | This too came in the condition stated and exactly as it was listed in the ad. My mom has made several chicken and steak salads with it and they come out great whether you bake or fry them... | 27,577 |
0 | A Yawn | Duncan MacTavish is the heir. He has been betrothed by his grandfathers to a selfish, self-centered, mean-spirited beauty who is not to his liking. Instead, Duncan is drawn to Sabrina (a plain Jane with wit and immense integrity with "drop-dead" gorgeous violet eyes.) Duncan's strength of character and wonderful Scottish brogue are a winning combination. This reviewer had a ball in the beginning, feeling the rhythm of the dialogue roll off the tongue. However, "tongue play" was not enough to maintain interest in this story. About one-fourth into The Heir, and it ceased being a "page-turner" It does not come close to the mettle of a Johanna Lindsey story. There are no sparks flying between the two amorous characters. The dialogue is mediocre with a few bonfide retorts. This reviewer expects more than this lethargic story, especially with the hard cover prices. Sad to say, but The Heir was a yawn. | 14,739 |
0 | Get what you paid for! | This was for our fiberoptic angel for our Christmas tree and it didn't even last to Christmas day. What a huge disappointment. | 17,092 |
1 | very cute! | I got this book from my friend who knows i'm so in love with lance, and it is so adorable, with cute little facts and pictures, but it was so short, i wish there were more pictures, and also, the facts included, mostly were facts we've all heard a million times before. But it's about lance, and it's a cute little book and it's great to drool over lance and be able to take him with you wherever you go! | 47,447 |
1 | Works perfect | I'm running my monitor at 1600x1200 60Hz. Cable received is as advertised in the description and works perfectly. Highly recommended. | 32,667 |
0 | BAD BOOK | This is one of the worst exam prep. book i've ever seen. IT doesn't even cover all of the material, materials which are imperative to the test. The info. in this book is presented in a very unorganized way. They need to reorganize this book in a manner which will be easily understand by an amateur/intermediate reader. Plus, it only spend like 130 pages for hardware. Just buy David Groth's 700 pg. for the hardware part. If u already know ur stuff, then you can just skim through this book..other than that, i have no use for this book. | 41,353 |
0 | i laugh at them | they hate scene kids, but they're the only ones who are going to care to seek out this crap. "nintendocore"? please. the guys in the band do their best to appear to be pretentious ass's but they're just art-school dorks who got picked on in high school. they're just a trendy novelty act & they won't be remembered in a year. | 9,394 |
0 | Not very good | Yes, it's nice to finally see modern singers make original Disney songs into modern hits. However, most of the songs are bad and dreadful. The only ones I found good were the ones by Ashanti, Jessica Simpson, Hilary Duff, and Christina Aguilera. The rest are pretty bad. Boy bands? Teen pop girls? Don't think so. Don't think this will be very good. I don't recommend this CD. Get some better music, although I give it 1 extra star for the good songs I mentioned earlier in this review. | 30,978 |
0 | This review probably won't get published, but... | Now that Amazon has demonstrated convincingly that I don't actually have any 'rights' to the books that I might buy from them, I will definitely never buy a Kindle, or any other reader offered by Amazon. I'm seriously considering not buying *anything* from Amazon unless there is no other source. | 1,902 |
1 | Very Good Book but..... | The majority of this book is great, however during the last couple of chapters during the end it gets to be hard to follow. Even worse, the suggestions about turning conflict around by focusing on your core values is even harder to institute. I love the explantion into the shame vs. fear dynamic and it helped me in my search to fix my marriage greatly by giving me an understanding of her. I would recommend this book entirely based on the first 4 to 5 chapters. | 30,870 |
1 | I thought the point of writing was to explore . . . | I like the other reviewers read 'Pi' first. I only have one question: why would anyone expect an amazing writer like Martel to turn out 'Pi' flavoured cookie cutter novels? I, for one, find it quite a refreshing turn that Martel has the depth and creativity to find such different topics to write about with such command.There is no doubt that sex (and quite explicit for that matter) plays an important part in Martel's foray into understanding the dichotomy of humanity. However, he is not covering any unknown territory. If you can read the sexual content as part of the larger context of identity crisis, you will find that Martel is absolutely compelling, even illuminating about human nature.Why should a reader cheer Pi more than the protagonist of 'Self'? | 32,560 |
0 | What a joke of a Secretary of State | How DELIRIOUS I am that the whole Clinton gang are gone! What fools and what short-sighted people we had to endure for 8 LONG years! Every thing President Bush has had to deal with since taking office is a direct result of what Clinton DID and DIDN'T DO to be responsible. And to have to listen to Ms. Albright make excuses and twist history is almost more than I can bear! | 17,946 |
1 | GREAT BIKE/SKATEBOARD FOR NEW RIDERS | Saw this bikeboard at Fred Meyer's a year and a half ago. My son refused to learn how to ride his bike, and i was nervous about him using a skateboard.I bought this bike in a boy version, (which I don't see here)and it was the hit of the neighborhood! Young kids and older teens enjoyed playing around on it. It is very beat up now,and my son now rides his bike. We keep it around just because it gets used here and there. BUY IT! | 39,948 |
0 | Not worth the money. | I bought this for my wife for her birthday. It is very heavy for a towel rack. I had trouble installing it with the wall anchors it came with. I ended up having to go to the hardware store and buy heavy duty drywall anchors. Once I did that, installation was easy. I have given this a low rating because it takes it a long time to warm a towel. Not only does it take a long time, but it is barely even noticeable. My wife says she loves it, but I get the feeling she is just being nice. This one was the highest rated for the price based upon customer reviews, so I am guessing no one has figured out how to make a cheap towel warmer that works well. I would avoid this product. | 9,129 |
0 | OP Juice-Ocean Pacific | I purchased this for my daughter who lives in Florida. Since it was such a late date to arrive at my address and then be shipped to her,I asked to have it shipped directly to Florida, which it was not. However, when I received it, I sent it on to my daughter, and when sheopened it,the spray would not work.I am disappointed.Florence See | 1,733 |
1 | Engrossing book that I didn't want to put down! | This book definitely kept me on the edge of my seat. It went back and forth from present to past time and made me want to keep reading to find out what happened. It was pretty sad, but a good read! | 34,835 |
1 | Quick read........ | An easy to read illustration of the different levels we must constantly aim for, and check our progress on. It was required reading for our leadership/vision team, and should be required for all aspiring to church leadership. Down to earth, humor-filled, a quick, yet important read for leadership in today's church. | 11,750 |
0 | a grown up version of the famous five | being a fans of Eco's, i found Dan Brown's book as entertaining stuff but not satisfying. The bad guy is easily predicted, the girl (vittoria) is merely there for the sake of romance...and its not a good romance either. It feels like hollywood movies, some indiana jones/007 stuff. I was hoping something like the Foucault Pendulum...but what i got is a grown up version of Enid Blyton's famous five. | 638 |
0 | Movies | They sent me a DVD that doesn't work in my DVD player. When I emailed them about it they sent me one website that was supposed to decode my DVD player so it would play it. There instructions didn't work. I even researched my own instructions and they did not work. I contacted the company again and there only response was as long as I paid for shipping back they would refund only the price of the movie and I needed to pay for all the shipping. The shipping is over $7 and the movie was only around $4. | 45,413 |
0 | Didn't fit my camera | If you need the Kodak Klic-8000 for your camera do yourself a favor and just order the Kodak battery. Very disappointed batter was too large for my Kodak Z712 IS camera. Had to bang the camera to get the batter out. Don't buy this one. | 41,417 |
1 | Jeep Headlight Upgrade | These lights are way better than a standard head light replacement.The light is whiter and brighter, much better than the factory dingy yellow looking lights.These combined with a headlight harness upgrade produce a very nice, safe light pattern for driving.Should be installed on every Jeep XJ or MJ. | 3,105 |
0 | Almost "Glorified Pong" | Although very close to finally hitting that winning formula, FaceOff falls just short once again. There's really not that much missing from the game: all the teams and players are there, animations are decent, the control and physics models are reasonable as well. The problem with FaceOff is that is simply isn't fun. The AI is simply pathetic and often falls into the same boring patterns, forcing you to do the same offensive things every time or sumbit to the defense. It simply turns boring within a few minutes, even for a die-hard hockey fan like myself! Losing the atmoshpere and feel of the game hurts FaceOff so much it comes dangerously close to the "glorified Pong" range. | 48,961 |
1 | Great for a newbie! | I have enjoyed skimming through this when I have a chance. My family and I have recently switched from attending our local Catholic Church to our local Presbyterian church and the book has been great for getting some ideas on how the churches differ and how they are set up. I have even started taking it along to our adult Sunday school that we attend while the kids are in class.... | 34,863 |
1 | Yoga vibe for my day! | I bought this and another CD because I am a big fan of the music in Shiva Rea's yoga DVDs. I listen to this while working on the computer or in my car, and it helps bring that relaxed but energized and focused mood to whatever task I have at hand. Love it! | 13,209 |
1 | great sound | this is my first venture into noise canceling headphones, but i would buy these again if i had the chance. for the price its a great product!!! | 47,068 |
0 | Way out of date | I suppose for it's 1977 publication, most of the photographs and information included were relatively recent, but there were photos of Indians walking on their knees to the OLD basilica, which is now in almost complete disuse, the new one having been inaugurated in 1976. It's a shame that the 1984 and 1990 printings did NOTHING to update these images.I also object to the "Ropa" ("clothing") chapter dealing exclusively with traditional clothing, and never mentioning that Mexicans everywhere wear pretty much what people all over the world are wearing--jeans and tennis shoes. Of COURSE traditional dress predominates in small towns, but Mexico's VAST urban population doesnt' look anything at all like the people depicted in this book. It's as if nothing had changed since the charro movies of the '30s and '40s.There is a dearth of good, intermediate-level reading materials in Spanish, but... trust me... this is not the answer. | 27,363 |
1 | Great Story | The plot is excellent, the actor superb but the special effects are not special and look like something out of the 1920s. They could do a little repair job on the rockets in flight (smoke etc.,) and the sand ships and you would improve the series 100 percent in the special effects department. I have hoped they do a remake of this series. | 6,275 |
0 | Yuck | As someone who loves to go to Vegas once or twice a year, primarily to bet on sports, I thought I'd like this book, but, in my view, it was awful. The characters the author picked to study were not at all interesting, they were just scum -- including the sports book managers. In fact, scum like this is why i avoid the Stardust like the plague. Scum like this is also why the NCAA wants Congress to ban betting on college sports, which will be a shame for those of us who aren't scum and who just want to enjoy betting on college hoops or pigskins every now and then. This book is a downer and time-waster -- avoid it like you'd avoid the Stardust sports book. | 38,395 |
1 | A gem for any fan of the ROCK to discover... | Mr.Erickson could pen a great tune, that's for sure. Lyrics, music-the whole package nothing short of compelling. Once I heard "Cold Night for Alligators", I was hooked. It's no wonder that great bands such as The Hellacopters and Entombed cover songs from the Erickson canon. If you're looking for impassioned rock and roll, you really can't beat this. Check out the tune "Anthem"-an acoustic based number, the feeling and power Roky is channeling cannot be ignored. I envy those who saw these songs performed in the flesh, for many of these selections were derived from different live shows between the late 70's and early 80's. This would have received 5 stars, but in being live, the sound quality in some areas is lacking-but should by no means prevent it's purchase. The souls of true music lovers will feel nourished upon listening... | 45,601 |
1 | I just love this film. | This is an amazing film you may not be open to. I hope you can appreciate it; so much is so right. It offers many observations about what it is to be human; I can't help but believe that, in the end, David died, and became a 'real boy.' This is a beautiful film about humanity and love.My son had written this, and I believe it was inspired by Gigolo Joe's last words...Stimulate response from wind, Answered in a song:I am the blownThe lostThe found and held dearlyThe forgotten and fondly rememberedI am the gale and gustThe ebbThe flowI am a known unknownThe motor and brakeI am the soul of autumnRelief or ruin of summerThe force of winterThe hope of springI am power and powerlessnessThe resignedI am prayers answeredI am curses mutteredThe voice of the forestThe sovereign of the sandstormI am consolationI am destructionI amI wasI will be | 36,115 |
0 | A huge disappointment | This is my third high end Philips/Norelco shaver in the past 10 years. I bought this arcitec 1090 with high hopes that it would do an even better job than my previous 8894xl.I'm sorry to say that after 3 months of using it almost every day... I consider this a step backwards from the 8894xl. In their quest for a really cool design, and I have to admit it does look really good, they have lost sight of the fact that it actually results in a worse shave.I find myself having to cover the same ground many more times than in the past and have to concentrate much more to check for missed hairs and spots that I have to go over even more. Also, the statement that the new design improves the ability to shave your neck is not true, I think it is also worse in this regard.My advice, dont bother with the cool Arcitec design, buy the top of the line traditional Philips/Norelco model instead. | 11,248 |
1 | A perfect substitute! | My kids love these lollipops and I love that there is no artificial dyes or colors in them! When they come home with a lollipop, I trade them for one of these and we are both happy! | 27,821 |
1 | See customer images for glove-fitting leather case for F10 | I bought the camera about a 2 months ago and it's a GREAT camera. I have a lots of details to write about (which I will do later) but at this time I just want to give all of you guys headsup on a GREAT leather case for this camera that I found on amazon.comIf you're like me who trusts OEM over aftermarket, I'm sure you've looked and looked for the OEM F10 case. Finally amazon.com has it in stock but it's nearly $40. Well, they didn't have it before so I took the chance with a Canon PSC-50 case made OEM for S410/S500/SD series. What can I say, it's like it is made for F10 too. Just take a look at the pictures and you'll see. The case doesn't have any pocket or sleeve to store extra battery or card, but then that will make 'compact' in the compact camera useless. | 37,028 |
1 | Good Exercises and no answer key | This is a fine workbook to go along with the "Brasil! Lingua e Cultura" textbook (3rd ed.). The many various exercises help to reinforce the lessons from the text. The audio lessons (free at the publisher's website) for the laboratory portion (at the end of each of the 20 chapters) are very useful. Since the book is designed for classroom use, there is no answer key included in the book. | 10,733 |
0 | No 50s Music Here! | Nice as the soundtrack music may be, you do NOT want to buy this CD if you're looking for the terrific 50s music that gave atmosphere to the movie. You CAN, however, find old "Christine" soundtrack LPs, some in mint condition and containing all the 50s music, at auction. It's worth it. | 38,202 |
1 | Great Chill Jazz Gutar Album | The first I heard of Jon Dalton was his track "The Gift" on a net radio station, I was bowled over by his stunning, gentle jazz guitar playing and the tight R&B style beats. I bought "This Is Smooth Jazz The Box Set" which featured the track and then this CD. The Gift is still my favorite track and I play it over and over. There are lots of other subtle grooves all laid over with faultless guitar work. If you like Chris Botti's latest work and chill jazz like Praful this is the kind of CD you'll really enjoy.Together with those other names Dalton represents the new wave of smooth jazz music. | 49,064 |
0 | Poor product | I bought these "instant" file folder games for my autistic son thinking they were truly "instant". However, to my major disappointment, the pages are black and white with the "suggestion' that you color them in with your students or children. It would be a TON of work to do that and in black and white the games to not hold his interest. Waste of money. I have found other truly 'instant" file folder games that are precolored in, but they still require cutting and laminating, which can be very expensive. Don't buy this product. | 43,822 |
0 | Moonstruck | When I received the item it sounded like the DVD had come off the lock. I gave it to my daughter for a present and she just opened it today and it is scratched. | 4,277 |
1 | almost..... | Product is great, however I did not receive the cloth or lanyard as described in the item description on this page. No big deal, but someone needs to do a little more QC on the orders shipping out. | 27,265 |
1 | One of the best | One of Barbara's best! I am from a small town in Maine and I felt like I was at home, Loons and all. Myrna Caresia, Norfolk VA. | 44,502 |
1 | Booming bass and grounding vocals | This music just simply needs to be more available.Joy of Cooking can be described as 70"s cutting edge folk-rock, "tell it how it is" experience. The voices and lyrics of Terry Garthwaite and Toni Brown stand in a world of their own. Terry Garthwaite voice makes anyone unfamiliar with this music , stop and ask who it is. Every time I have played this band people want to borrow it. Music collectors of the world unite and give Joy of Cooking their proper place in music history. A must have for serious collectors. | 18,146 |
1 | One of the better walking videos | This video is quite good for a walk at home. Leslie is slightly annoying, but definitely not unbearable. There are 5 walks on the video which is nice to switch it up. There is a classic, 14 mins - arms, 14 mins - legs, 14 min - abs, 14 mins - fast walk, 12 mins. They all use a lot of the same moves, but they do emphasize what they say they will...except the abs could have been done a lot better. Over all a great video. They are short walks so you have time for them everyday and being able to switch it up keeps the boredom down. Great for beginners or if you are more advanced it is still a good pace and you can add your own twist if you need more of a challenge. | 47,955 |
1 | Good fit | It's a tank. With wheels. It does what it says and it does it just fine. It is a bit high, but luckily the gray water from our camper comes out with some pressure, so the slight incline to the tank is okay. | 8,083 |
1 | Fishfinder 140 | This fishfinder works well and is easy to read, even in bright sunlight. It gives reliable information at all boat speeds. The price I got the unit for was 20% cheaper than any of the local outlets. The only drawback is during installation. Due to the size of the electrical connector, to attach the transducer cord to the back of the fishfinder, it makes it fairly difficult to thread through the hull of the boat, but once in, the unit works fine. | 471 |
1 | One of my favorite scifi books | I found this vision of a future world for humanity to be intriguing, if not entirely believable. I just don't think that many people would be satisfied with a life of so few choices. Yes, I understand his theory that "artificial selection" by years of living in Urbmons would weed out people who dream of something more to life than reproduction, who question the status quo, who long to explore the outside world. I just think he underestimates how MANY people would be dissatisfied with this superficial society, and that they would get together and conspire to cause a revolution. Still, it was very well written and entertaining, and made me think long and hard, which any good book will do. | 16,945 |
1 | A LA CABEZA! | El album esta muy bueno; es como si pasearas por toda la trayectoria de Paulina desde los inicios hasta su coronacion como la mejor cantante mexicana. El disco es muy practico, ya qu eno tienes que llevar todos los discos de Pau a la fiesta o al carro solo en nuevo. Los remnixes son muy energeticos, ritmicos y cool. El 2000 es el ano de Paulina y vale tener todos sus discos! | 32,077 |
1 | Wicked little critter | The book provides the "origin story" of the Wicked Witch of the West (you know, the one from Oz). Be advised that, while it is a "prequel" to The Wizard of Oz, it is not for children. There are many discussions about religion and politics, so it probably wouldn't be of interest to kids. Oh, and there is sex, too. Anyway, it is an interesting re-imagining of the land of Oz. Adult Oz fans should give it a read. | 42,194 |
1 | It's about time this movie came out on video! | I first viewed it in the early 80's and laughed to tears at the antics of Neubaum and the other Knights. This movie is a cross between Porky's and American Graffiti and well worth owning. The comedy, setting and cars are superb but are only second to the actors and actresses who really make this film a success. | 38,951 |
1 | Good just not great | I got exactly what I bought, a frisbee. However, I personally do not like the soft inner of the disc. It makes the disc feel flimsy and easily warped. Only time will tell. But this is just my personal opinion. | 10,709 |
1 | AWESOME GAME AND GOOD PRICE | I BOUGHT THIS GAME FOR MY HUSBAND AND HE LOVES IT. THE GRAPHICS ARE GREAT AND THE CARS ARE BEAUTIFUL ALONG WITH THE SCENERY. IT IS SO REAL LIKE YOU ARE IN THE DESERT, OR FORESTS. I AM A WOMAN AND I RECOMMEND THIS GAME. I WOULD GIVE IT A 10 IF I COULD! | 9,757 |
0 | DOA | Don't buy this thing. Didn't work immediately upon opening the package. One side was OK, the other was weird and garble-y. | 40,156 |
1 | One of the greatest CD's of all time! | This CD is so cool! X japan's great musical talent really shines here! | 6,373 |
1 | Good Game | Firstly, this game is not for children. It's important to note the M for Mature rating on the game. This will save some parents the shock of noticing their kids playing a game with plenty of cursing and adult situations in it.Getaway isn't too much of a GTA knockoff. It's simply just a great game idea taken in a different direction. Getaway does get a bit old in spots. There can be too much of a good thing. You drive and then kill and then drive some more only to go kill some more. The controls aren't too dificult to master, but don't always make gameplay easy. There is no rotate character control, which easily could have been done using the right analog stick.Getaway has good voice acting, great graphics and fun gameplay. Although it can get a bit old in spots (especially if you love GTA) this is definitely a game to rent if not buy. | 46,568 |
1 | Solid Headphones | These headphones are really well made and work great for my use. The only thing I am used to having is a volume control and mute on the cable, and these don't have that feature. Other than that they are wonderful for me. They work well for gaming, skype, and of course for music. | 24,859 |
0 | Me son wants to be a stupid jedi knight now. | This game made my son try and force choke me when I told him to get ready for bed. He also takes the broom stick and hits me with it like it is a lightsaber now. I have about a dozen welts on me from that broomstick. He has even learned all of the alien languages on the game. I have told him too many times that it is fake. This boy is 15 years old and I am considering sewing the developers of the game for brainwashing my son with this nonsence. He is also now calling me "Meat Bag" because some robot on there calls the humans that on the game. He has been doing this for two months now and it is very annoying. His friend is also behaving the same way. The other day I asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up and he told me that he wanted to be a dark jedi so he can take over the galaxy.I think that you should not let your kid have this game because it has made kids weird. | 29,767 |
1 | Great Game | We bought this not having ever heard of it before and are so glad we did! Our six year old LOVES it and it also holds the attention of our ten year old. It is fun for the whole family and since it requires thinking, counting and remembering it has educational value as well. The pictures are cute - appropriate for any age. Overall great game! | 9,220 |
0 | great customer service | I had great customer service tracking down this gift item that did not arrive in time for Christmas.I'm sure the granddaughter will be pleased when it arrives in time for her birthday. | 31,536 |
1 | Equal Opportunity | Just because a movie is bad doesn't mean people won't like it. House of Horrors is a B-schlock classic. Contrived, marginal acting, sub-intelligent plot, low-brow entertainment, fantastic! And I find the contention that poor Rondo Hattan was "exploited" to be very tiresome. The guy has gone down into cinematic history! He has a solid fan base nearly 60 years after his death. Tom Cruise, Richard Gere and others adored purely on their looks can only hope to be so fondly remembered. I give House of Horrors a B for Bad. And that's damn good. | 8,145 |
0 | This heater is only $14.95 | I bought this heater from Amazon in January 2008 for $14.95. How can it possibly be $79.99 now? It doesn't work very well and shuts off continuously. It is worth $14.95, but certainly not $79.99. | 9,029 |
0 | Unusable. | Don't waste your money and time with this piece of garbage. It blows the dust through the ventilation. Badly engineered. Those guys got their degrees in a box of cereal. | 37,971 |
1 | Garmin GPS software for Europe | We purchased the software for a car trip around Scotland. Overall, we were very happy with its performance. However, when we were in Skye and the Outter Hebrides we found that the roads were either not mapped or incompletely mapped. It never caused any problems but is was somewhat disconcerting. There were also instances in Perth and Edinburgh where the maps were old and need to be updated for new round abouts, etc. but once again this didn't ever really cause any problem either. | 29,576 |
1 | One of the Best Guitarplayers Of all time!! | Rory Gallagher was one of the greatest guitar players who ever lived,It is a shame that his life ended so early, and also that so few people know about him.This live recording captures the intensity of his awe inspiring ability with a guitar."cradle Rock" is a great tune with blazing fast guitar that will satisfy the most critical listener,while "tattoo'd lady'scatchy chorus will have you humming it all day.If you are a fan of great guitar blues, this belongs in your collection. NO guitar player should be missing this album in their collection! | 3,545 |
