1 | A psychologist votes yes | Evagrius Ponticus was among the most insightful observers and commentators on human psychology. As a clinical psychologist and amateur student of patristic literature, I found the Prakticos and the Chapters on Prayer totally on target. This is probably the best book to start with for the amateur Evagrian. There are many others that could be recommended. Evagrian study is growing and I believe we can look forward to an excellent conversation on the immediate relevance of this amazing spiritual giant. | 29,051 |
0 | the worst movie I have ever seen | This is the stupidest movie I have ever seen. George Clooney at times stares in to space for no reason. They do not tell you who he works for or why he is in Italy and why he kills the Swedish girl at the start of the movie.The priest turns out to be the father of the towns mechanic no reason given. The only good thing in the movie is the beautiful prostitute. | 49,478 |
1 | over all pretty good | this cd is great except for the fact that they just bacically copied korn. despite the fact, their rap/ metal mix is overall awesome | 12,654 |
0 | Garbage! | I have purchased 2 of these units, and neither ever worked properly. The cameras are pretty good..they've been used outside in high humidity and below freezing temps. The problem is with the box and the power adaptor. Both are the epitomy of cheap, chinese made junk. Both control units failed right out of the box. Managed to get one functioning when it feels like it (thanks to some training in electronics)..the other went into the trash. Color never worked on either unit. If you want a good camera system, look elsewhere. If you want to waste your money, just send it to me...you'll get more satisfaction, I promise.On a side note, the retailer that sold this to me through amazon requested that I write a review in exchange for some discount on something or other..well, heres your review. =) | 2,876 |
0 | Disappointment | I bought this CD thinking it was a music CD. Wrong! It was about someone reveiwing the group Panic at the Disco. Apart from background music there was no music what so ever on this CD.If you are interested in background info on a group then buy this CD. However, if like me, you like listening to music do not buy this CD. | 8,108 |
1 | Essential advice for international students | Kaplan's guide will answer most of your questions regarding the whole process of studying abroad. It is full of information that you may not even know you will need, like what to do on the plane, what not to pack, and what to look for in a school. Especially helpful is the chapter on adjusting to life in the US and the various checklists, so you don't overlook any vital details. | 24,514 |
1 | Charming and Uplifting Christmas Story | Charming, uplifting tale that centers life in a small town around the true Christmas story - the manifestations of God's gift of love and giving. No magic cats, no tacky love story, no shopping 'til you drop - just the simplicity of the real thing. If you want that, you'll love this book!! An old, seemingly hopeless nativity set is restored and in the process, Father Tim discovers the creativity he never thought he had. BTW reading the book is wonderful, but there is something 'extra' that happens when you listen to it! Have no fear, the audio version includes Esther's recipe as well as a few inspirational snippets of Christmas music. | 34,507 |
0 | bad movie with many lies | This movies errors were more extreme than dragon. Bruce lee hurt his back doing good mornings not this stupid way portrayed in the movie second he didn't when the karate championship. Now past all that it seems like on the English dubbed side the words match the Americans lips and on the Chinese language version it only matches the Chinese people lips. That as well made this movie a hard watch. I couldn't even finish this movie. Bruce lee was an amazing man who did so much with his life. People would watch the truth in awe. I don't understand why these people constantly want to lie about him in film. | 47,521 |
0 | Don't Waste Your Time | This book is full of errors, some blatant, some subtle, especially about Jesus Christ himself and about Scripture. I'd give it zero stars. While there are a few parts that are ok, there are some outrageous errors in it and it contradicts or misinterprets the teaching of the Church in a number of places. You can get good information elsewhere without these errors that will lead people astray. Read the real Catechism of the Catholic Church if you want to know the faith. And PS, contrary to the claims of this or any other supposedly Catholic book, the Second Vatican Council reaffirmed in its document Dei Verbum (see section 19), what the Church has always maintained: that the gospels are historically accurate, that they really teach what Jesus did and taught. Don't be fooled! | 25,358 |
1 | My name is Mr. Seymour Sherm | My partner and I love to watch the sopranos but we cannot cook as good as those guys do. So my buddy said to me, hey Sherm lets buy this book about all the Italian stars and see if we can make the same food. It's hard getting some of the ingedients up where we live but we made do and we are enjoying the food. We read the pages and fantasize about sitting down with some of the actors .Sincerely, Seymour Sherm | 48,258 |
0 | Please don't purchase | don't judge a book by its cover thats a phrase that does not apply to this stupid compilation of half/documentary videos, who in gods name would like to star seeing a video and in the middle of it the performers start talking about of thing we dont care, its like your watching a movie and in the middle of it comes the director giving its opinion about the movie, please be warned if you are a rock/heavy metal fan you'll just throw them to some one else or send it as a present to your worst enemy..... | 10,273 |
1 | Mind Blowing Velvet Intelligence | Here's what you should do: Buy this album and formally introduce it to your CD player, because they're going to be spending a lot of time together. At once, gorgeous, soulful, smart, funny, dark, light, wacky and sultry, this music can be played at a party, in your restaurant, for your date, your daughter or your grandmother--it bridges tastes and generations because it is classic and brilliant. Be prepared to find yourself wondering why you had to discover them here as opposed to on your local radio station, but with this latest album--clearly their most accomplished (thought they're all great)-- fear not, Dave's True Story will have their day! | 38,301 |
1 | For Moments like these | I really enjoy these fine modern semi-minimal String Quartet pieces from Micheal Nyman. The 2nd Quartet ranges from the fast pace & danceable 1st moment to the slow & beautiful 3rd movement which almost brings tears to my eyes. I agree with the other review in regards on the 1st Quartet, this was on the boring side. But after years of being a Phillip Glass fan (Einstein of the Beach & Koyanisqatsi) before he made it famous & now just writes carbon copies of a certain single sad rift (Naqoyqatsi), Micheal Nyman does a better job (The Piano & Songbook with Ute Lemper) & only once did I not like a CD (6 Days 6 Nights). Micheal Nyman explores more emotions & has a more expansive instrumentation than Phillip Glass. Do listen to the samples in the Window Media & Real One Players, they focus on the best part of the CD, & if you like them, the 2nd Quartet is worth the price of the whole CD. | 2,392 |
1 | Enjoyable if you aren't highly judgmental | I see why other reviewers compare Burroughs to Sedaris. Yeah, they're both gay authors with a wry sense of humor. But Burroughs is a much bigger prick. Sadistic. Cruel to animals (and babies). And to top it off, he continually is haunted by his childhood and alcoholism.What could be more entertaining than THAT?If you like sick humor, you will love this book. If you get just a bit squeamish about explicit descriptions of gay sex, you'll still love this book. Some reviewers hopped on their high horse and gave this book a low rating because they don't agree morally with the author's actions. I don't agree with poisoning and drowning mice either, but I admit that it makes for a great read.Burroughs as a human being: probably a D+Burroughs as a storyteller: A- | 1,028 |
0 | Mic Boom Breaks! | There is a major manufacturing defect in this product. There is very limited mobility on the mic boom, and the boom will easily break off the base of the headset with minimum pressure. I had my headset for 2 days before the boom just came off. Logitech did not design the boom for it to pop out under any pressure so you can simply reinsert it. Instead, the base of the boom will break and is unrepairable making the headset a $100 paper weight.I was also extremely disappointed in logitech for not honoring thier warranty when I called them on this issue. They had no intention on helping me with the issue and claimed that I was the first to ever call in to complain about the issue. | 38,323 |
1 | Flok songs that are digitally perfect | Years ago my father would drag me to a few folk music festivals. I never really liked them, but what I didn't know was that my father was causing this music to become a part of become part of my DNA makeup. I didn't realize this until on a whim I bought and listened to "O Brother, Where Art Thou?". This soundtrack brings back memories for me. If you're history is similar it will do the same thing for you.Of course, there is more to this album than just a reminder of the folk music I was forced to listen to. The new songs are catchy and the old songs are wonderfully done. With their simple messages they dig into our human collective conscience. They remind us of who we are and who we should be. | 27,517 |
0 | Craniotomy Before Dinner | "Hannibal" as several characteristics that set it apart from "Silence of the Lambs." The plot is weak and fairly predictable. Scene transitions are poorly developed. It is gross simply for the sake of being gross. Anthony Hopkins was true to the "Hannibal" form but, Julianne Moore as Agent Starling was no Jodie Foster. She looked the part but no other personality traits carried over. Casting would have been improved had Ms Moore played a different agent. Finally, the movie was fairly well photographed and the DTS 5.1 sound was OK. But, overall, the film alternates between being sick and sicker. No wonder it was a box office flop. | 34,897 |
0 | ZAPPA Must be turning in his grave1 | Thisis an effort by Del-Fi to cash in on some old demo tapes they found,Frank wouldn't subject his fans to this [stuff]! | 20,259 |
0 | Disappointed | Item received was not as described on Amazon. Amazon listing said "Lures - 1/12 oz - 3/4 oz." The picture showed about 8 Lures with a cost of $47.00, which had been reduced to $2.95. I placed the order and a 5 days later received only 1 single Lure. This Lure I could have bought at Walmart for about $2.00. I called the company and they blamed Amazon for making a mistake on the listing, but they have done nothing to correct it. I am unhappy and very disappointed with this company. | 49,042 |
1 | Simply put......... | Higdon is a master orchestrator and this CD is sparkling example of her genious. For those here entering 1 & 2 stars...send me your manuscripts and awards...I just want to be sure you can do better.Higdon has captured the city of Atlanta in todays terms...and done it beautifully. GET THIS CD as the soundstage is very wide, detailed and an exciting experience for the ear...all brought to us by the geniuses at TELARC. ITS A WINNER. | 49,955 |
0 | Static and feedback a SERIOUS problem | I purchased this product NEW IN BOX, but from CompUSA, which is going out of business - all sales final. My mistake! The static is outrageous on this thing - 60-70% of the time, even if I hold my phone 2 feet away (at which point, why even have a bluetooth?!??!) And if I turn up the volume to hear over the static, the listener gets serious feedback.This is ridiculous! I tried it with both my ATT Iphone AND my US Cellular Motorola Razor. Bad reception everytime = TERRIBLE static if I even move my arm between the phone and the headset; inaudible if I turn my head away. And yes, it IS on the same side of my body. MY GOSH - I even tried it with the phones TWO FEET AWAY from the headset - static. Very very disappointed. I had a Nokia BH900 - which I lost, so I thought I'd try this one. It's going to charity. | 49,614 |
1 | Great Effort... | You STILL can't beat the original Puddle of Mudd songs. If you want to buy this album, I highly reccommend you go and but Puddle of Mudd's "Come Clean" or upcoming "Life on Display" albums. That way, you would be able to appreciate this tribute CD MUCH better. If you buy this before you buy "Come Clean" you will absolutely hate it. Now, tribute CDs are hardly ever good. But I believe that it's great that a band has such a great interest in Puddle of Mudd; and they did not do a bad job on tributing them. Puddle of Mudd deserves an AWESOME tribute CD, and this truly is NOT it... For a tribute CD, it is not bad. I know I'm probably alone on my opinion, but I really do appreciate and like this tribute album.-Christian | 39,201 |
0 | Not Free SF Reader | Don't care any more after two dull books in a row. Perrin has to find his kidnapped wife, Mat actually does a bit of potential wife kidnapping.Rand gets vengeful on traitorous elements among his magic dudes.The Aes Sedai continue to bicker, like, well, violent sorceresses.Sound familiar? Sounds long and drawn out and badly in need of editing, basically. | 7,682 |
1 | Necessary anthology | Crazy as it may sound I have been a Laurie Anderson fan since I was eight years old. I heard Mr. Sharkey and Gravity's Rainbow and it was all over from there. I always wanted to own this book but it has been out of print for decades. She covers much of the info that appears in this book in her 'United States Live' CD set, and 'The Ugly one with the jewels,' and yet seeing it in print as a sort of portfolio of her work is a great compendium to what I already have. If you are a real fan, this is a must have. | 38,082 |
0 | Poor job, Lucas. | Episode 1 is a MAJOR disappointment from the get go. It's not even worth 1 star, but I could not figure out how to give it a poorer rating. It lacks none of the depth and vision that the the 3 earlier movies did, and the story line is WEAK! The best part of the movie, and the sole reason why I bought it, is because of Jar Jar Bink's humourous antics. The robots with their stupid "roger, roger" are arsinine! And it is ludicrous for the technology to be "better" in the prequel, and worse in the supposedly subsequent movies. Episode 1 is more of a comedy than anything else. George: this movie is nothing more than a greedy attempt on your part to rip the die-hard Star Wars fans off. Aren't you rich enough already? Why don't you get with the programme and make the next movie a little more sensible? And please, take those stupid robots out of there. | 28,928 |
1 | Great relaxation tape | I especially liked the focusing on the chakras during the relaxation sequence. | 35,727 |
0 | I wouldn't recommend it | Cheap feel. Rounded shape and hand strap setup makes it useless for handling. Not ergonomic at all. Poor optics with old generation technology. An expensive kids toy in my opinion | 27,466 |
0 | Complete junk! | Do not buy this! Needle is terrible difficult to thread, can't get it to stitch after working with it for an hour. Such a disappointment for my daughter. Follow the old adage, you get what you pay for. Singer should be embarrassed to have their name on this. | 2,420 |
0 | Chinese hater's delight | Don't really find any insight about the Chinese people as a whole. Jasper simply observed and added his own prejudice to it.For example, "When I spoke to the peasants of Zizhou, the villagers had just returned from a performance by a travelling opera troupe who had set up a temporary stage on the only patch of flat ground in the narrow valley. As we talked we could hear the high-pitched voices and the clash of cymbals as the troupe played out another tale... The ritualized performance, and the peasants' delight in it, spoke of history's powerful and oftern merciless grip on the minds of so many in China."Sounds like he think only Europeans are capable of enjoying the music and the artistry of an opera performance. Chinese people enjoying Chinese opera proves "[Chinese] history's powerful and often merciless grip on the minds of so many in China." What kind of analysis/insight is this? | 23,731 |
0 | Do not purchase, keep shopping... | I bought this vacuum almost 2 years ago, when we moved into a new house. It seemed to work great and did, at first. I borrowed my in-laws vacuum to see how theirs did and was disgusted by what my vacuum had left behind. Do not purchase, keep shopping... the investment hardly pays for its-self. If I could afford it, I would purchase a kurby. | 39,810 |
1 | Hip Hop Classic | PE's second is a work of pure genius. A political masterpiece with probably some of the best songs ever heard. Favorites include Bring the Noise, Don't Believe the Hype, Terminator X to the Edge of Panic, Louder Than a Bomb, She Watch Channel Zero?!, Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos, and Rebel Without a Pause. A true classic in hip hop and should be own by all fans of hip hop. Highly Highly Recommended. | 26,157 |
0 | AVP | I walked into AVP with little expectation at all, just needing a couple scares before bed. Paul W.S. Anderson's film started too quickly and makes you feel like you are being brushed along like cattle. The film's ending is cheezy and extremely unoriginal. Terrible script, dialogue, and directing ruins the little known actors' attempts to lift this movie from a D grade. Music is terrible considering Alien's score won an Oscar and the photography is dark and murky. The editing helps this film a lot, very choppy and exciting.Directing- D+Photography- C-Music- C-Editing- BActing- D-Aliens- B+ Very scary, slimy, well done Stan Winston and Co.Predators- C+ Violent, scary without masks on, too corny at end of filmAction- B-Suspense- BStory Line and Plot- F No point to it and if there was who cares, the audience just wanted to see this creatures duel it out, not live in ancient pyramids under the ground!!!Movie- D | 4,454 |
1 | Excellent antenna | I got it for almost the same price from Amazon as a non-amplified antenna. It works great. I place it just near my TV deep inside the living room with walls on three sides. It works really well, and I can get lot of channels with it. Just can't get Fox at my location, but I couldn't get it with the ZHDTV as well.I did try out the ZHDTV extensively, and the Terk performs similar or better.I would highly recommend this antenna to anyone. | 33,863 |
1 | New 6th edition appears to be a worthy update to its predecessors | This book covers the administration of, usage of, and shell programming on Linux systems. The book is an overview of Linux and serves as an excellent reference, but doesn't come close to a tutorial. This 6th edition continues to be a good extended man page for the operating system's many commands, features, and utilities. Linux has recently been extended, and most of those extensions appear to be covered in this book. You should already have a basic knowledge of Unix/Linux and just need a quick reference for when you forget something. For example, you are not going to learn how to program using gawk with the chapter included in this book. Neither will you figure out the intracies of version control and Git. The preface states that this new sixth edition has been examined and checked against the most common Linux distributions (Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, and SUSE) so that it reflects the most useful and popular commands. | 30,548 |
1 | Soundtrack to hell... | Gorguts--aaah---I love their album called "from wisdom to hate" rimends me alot of cryptopsy and that is not a bad thing at all, because im a huge fan of cryptopsy! I recommend gorguts for fans of great bands like krisiun,cryptopsy,gorerotted, &,aborted...If you love any of those bands then gurgots is for you!Best songs ? "inverted" , the title track"from wisdon to hate" , & , "unearthing the Past" over-all, a must have! | 38,941 |
1 | Good, classic Sci-Fi TV Music | Music composers Sol Kaplan and Gerald Fried are two of the better music writers for television back in the late 1960's. Both were famous for scores for other things (Kaplan for "The Spy Who Came In From The Cold" and Fried for "Gilligan's Island"), but showed that they could create music for a then new project: Star Trek.Kaplan's score for "The Doomsday Machine" emphasized what was going on in each scene, underscoring how tension packed the episode was when it was made in 1967. (With the Special Effects that are available now, if they ever redo Star Trek, this is one episode that would seriously "amp up" the tension!!)Fried, on the other hand, used his impressive Jazz training to show Mr. Spock in his "pon farr" state, and also to give the previously never seen before Planet Vulcan an alien atmosphere. Of course, the famous music for the fight scene between Spock and Kirk has been imitated often, but never topped.An excellent CD for music and Classic TV fans. | 19,424 |
1 | Works well | Never had a steamer before. First time using it, I thought it didin't work. It took a few minutes to reach temp. Once it reached temp though this worked like a charm. I've used it on my boat, smoker/grill, kitchen, bathroom. Just remember to let it cool down after use before trying to refill and continue. | 8,676 |
1 | Great Pan | Viking's Belgium-made cookware is fantastic. It is build to last for generations and is designed to look and function superbly. The 13 Inch Stainless Steel Non-Stick Fry Pan is great if you need to cook for many people because it heats very evenly, non-stick surface is top notch. It is heavy, but it has to be with multi-layer steel and coating. Don't confuse with China-made cookware! Highly recommended, like all Viking cookware. | 47,436 |
1 | a cultural, lovely doll. | this doll was a wonderful thing, for me to see in a store. it really teaches kids about other cultures, and other places in the world. it really made me think of england, and other beautiful places in the universe. i do not have this lovely doll, but i named her rose pinkette. i think its a lovely name for a lovely doll. | 42,984 |
0 | Don't buy it online. | Neither UPS nor Fedex will insure such an amount. Better go to Brick and mortar.Hook this baby up to a mac and watch MS go nuts. Again. | 5,982 |
1 | Woohooo | One day I was discussing anime with some people at work and it made me think of the Star Blazers tune back from when I was 7 or 8 years old. So, I went lookin on the internet for the series on DVD. At the time they hadn't even released part I yet, so I waited and bought it the day it came out. The grainy film (it hasn't been touched up) and quirky music only seem to add value for me because it is exactly the way I remembered it. Enhanced sound may have been okay though, since I did spend a lot of money on my surround system. (Thus one star deducted)Also what may be a point of interest... I filled in the registration card that came with the DVD. Then I waited for a long time for the second disc to come out. When it finally came out I popped in the disc and they had added all the features I requested. Lost footage, etc. Except for better sound. | 14,598 |
0 | sailing ... | this is a must own for all zelda fanaticks.it is n instant classic.but hold up, no game is flawless. lets face it the sailing ... . they could have made the sailing alot more fun and not so long but no it just could not be that easy. any of you people who like to see a boat going over water for fifteen minutes, this is a MUST own. for all other normal people this is a must rent good buy. | 34,267 |
1 | Fun toy for toddlers | I bought this toy for my 14th month old for Christmas. He's just figuring out how to continuously turn the handle to get the pony to pop up. He likes it for a bit when someone else winds it for him. It is not currently his favorite, but it does bring a smile to his face. For educational value I would say yes, for dexterity. It is also an exercise in patience for my immediate gratification child. It remains to be seen whether he will play with this toy a lot eventually. I think that it's a cute toy but would be much more fun for a two year old. | 42,185 |
1 | Extremely Pleased! | I received the Criminal Investigations book for $45. I assumed because the book sold on my campus for $85, that the $45 book would be in used condition. To my surprise when I opened the box, it was brand spanking new! Never opened and not a scratch in or on it.I am using the book for a intro to criminal investigation course. The book breaks down every single detail from what is a criminal investigation to criminal investigations in the 21st century, and everything in between. Its the perfect book for a person new to the area of criminal justice or administration of justice. It gets into detail on each area, but its not too much to where the reader loosed interest. Perfect size and weight to carry in a tote or backpack!Great Job Michael F. Brown | 42,008 |
0 | Call me Colette. | Searching the bookshelves alone in a foreign country, this book was the only possibility. Colette comes across as a very astute business woman, albiet a pretty scary looking one. I never read any of her books which are explained as being soft-porn. She wrote in the early part of the 20th century and gained fame and fortune using a single name only, the Cher of her time. She was the rave of France. I am not sure why. Probably France was not a very intersting place at that time either. Her final book was "Gigi". I don't want to read any of her voluminous works. Her mother had a very interesting face. That's about the best of this biography. Perhaps there are other authors who make her out to be a more interesting person. | 16,452 |
1 | The Informer | This blistering adaptation of Liam O'Flaherty's novel by John Ford features a searing, Oscar-winning performance by McLaglen, who plays the barrel-chested Irish boozer and Troubles-era traitor with gut-wrenching pathos, especially when he delivers his last line. A labor of love for Ford, outfitted with Joseph August's atmospheric evocation of foggy Dublin and a superb score by Oscar winner Max Steiner, "Informer" is the kind of full-blooded political drama we rarely get to enjoy today. And McLaglen's turn as the desperate, deeply remorseful brute makes the tragic story of betrayal and redemption even more worthy of struggle. | 9,671 |
1 | Looks cool, and that's all that mattered to me | I am not a big sword person. I don't collect them or anything. I like swords, just owning one was never a priority to me. I got an offer for free $30 bucks to use on amazon so I decided to get this. I like that it is shorter than a lot of the blades I see in various stores. The shorter length does add some usability vs a traditional katana or something like that.It looks cool... I don't plan on taking on a group of ninjas anytime soon so that was the only criteria I used while shopping. Looks, and price.The thing I don't get is how you are suppose to do the straps. There is no picture or instructions of any kind. There is a long strap that seems you are suppose to thread through the sheath long ways, and no clue what to do with the short strap.I don't ever plan to wear it so that was not a big deal to me. If anyone can give me a link/picture to what it's suppose to look like I am sure I would figure it out. | 562 |
1 | A good one | I don't think the title or cover does any justice to this very entertaining zoo DVD. We got it for our 2 year old granddaughter and watching it makes you feel like you're at the zoo. The little songs grow on you, and you do end up singing-a-long. We actually enjoy having it on in the background. | 14,875 |
0 | well, here we go again | My friend had told me about a movie, a movie which was so disturbing and graphic that he had almost puked........ and this was that movie. I had rented it a few weeks later. I heard people talking about it being a Quentin Tarantino film, but when I had looked on the box I noticed that it was just presented by him and that it was directed by Eli Roth, knowing his previous work Cabin Fever I knew that this DVD was going to be nothing special....... and thus I was correct. This movie is basically like one of those SAW ripoff movies that promise you blood and gore, but give you a "gruesome noise" or a moment where they almost show him clipping off the toe of the girl when the camera quickly cuts to the next scene........ boring. | 10,587 |
0 | Don't buy it and not from BeachAudio | I ordered it through Amazon.com and got it from BeachAudio. After I opened the box, I noticed the remote control was missing. And the overall build quality is very bad. But at least I hooked it up to be able to see it works, even though left side picture is distorted (I cannot say it is the monitor or dvd player's problem yet).I contacted Beachaudio for return but received no response at all. I don't recommend this product and don't recommend BeachAudio as a vendor at all. | 30,664 |
0 | no bonus features | i purchased this item in haste, not taking the time to read the details about this set. DVD5's not DVD9's so all of the bonus features, (including commentaries are missing) furthermore, the quality is not as nice as previous iterations. With the exception of the Osmonds' main theme music 'reboot' my 7 year old daughter loves the series, (including season 3). I'm just bummed that i shelled out the money for the DVD's and have no commentary. I could've just DVR'ed it from G4 and had the same thing. | 36,423 |
1 | Why the Directors Cut is A Far Better Movie........... | I saw this DVD @ a friends home. I wore two VHS tapes out of this movie....and this was after taping them onto blank tapes, so as not to ruin the originals. This movie, along with Natural Born Killers, are my favorite bedtime movies. I would love to buy the directors cut of this DVD, but will not by one until I see it. I must admit, I am intrigued at the thought of seeing it letterboxed. Please get a letterboxed directors cut in so I can buy it from you. "You see, he bought this ring for his sweetheart. He wears it on a chain around his neck until this dirty Kraut rips it off and it falls into the sea...He dives in after it....isn't that cool?" | 33,964 |
0 | Horrible! | This book was horrible! The first two books were not particularly well written, but they were interesting enough. This book however, had no plot and was not related at all to the other three books in the series, minus a five minute blurb at the end. You don't learn anything new, other than the name of the woman that left the notebook behind in book 1.I highly recommend you skip this book - even if it is free - as it is a waste of time and not interesting at all. Skip right ahead to book 4, and I promise you won't have missed a single thing. | 9,818 |
1 | Great pocket book, Brian Tracy is still the best | Once again, Brian Tracy, master educator,has turned potentially long winded subjects into the most useful pieces of short, but powerful suggestions for one to improve their quality of life. After all, we all have a limited amount of hours in any day. Brian makes the suggestions in a way that any active individual can benefit. I reccommend this book to everyone, but especially to those with "no time" to read. Read a few pages in the morning, a few at night, 30 seconds...can you spare that for a better life? | 43,593 |

0 | Worthless Piece of Junk | I purchased this item and it does not work whatsoever. All of the cigarette lighters in my car work fine, yet this item powers NOTHING. The indicator light does not come on to say it is working either. The construction of it is cheap. Buyer beware. I will not buy another item from this manufacturer. Looking into return now. | 26,376 |
1 | YOU HAVE...SUCH A LOVELY THROAT.....AGHHHHHHHH! | John Carradine is excellent in one of his most complex roles as a artist-puppeteer driven to strangle his models. Director Ulmer does wonders with cheap sets and lighting to create the atmosphere of 19th-century Paris. Actress Jean Parker is equally fine as the sister of one of Bluebeard's victims. This is probably poverty-row company PRC'S best HORROR movie. Only the upbeat cheesy music score takes it down a notch. Don't know what they were thinking but better to play SINISTER music then that happy s&^%!Worth a watch and always kudos to John Carradine who always had a soft spot for HORROR films. My kinda guy :) | 26,477 |
0 | Didn't like the Federation cast in the role of villain | Gene Roddenberry had a vision of humanity that had overcome its worst tendencies, which is what makes the original, and to some extent the Next Generation, so appealing. When the writers of this movie decided that the villain should be someone approved of by the Federation, they subtley betrayed Gene's principles. Whether they created a good movie with that betrayal, judge for yourself. | 23,340 |
0 | junk! | I used this china junk 1 time and it stripped right out and didnt even pop the ball joint out! I took this thing right back to harbor freight and got my money back. | 44,465 |
1 | Something for all-age toddlers to enjoy... | I have a 3.5 year old and a 17 month old, and they both LOVE this movie. Yes, several of them are shown on TV, but we keep this DVD in the car. It was so funny the first time my husband & I turned around because we heard the little one patting her legs along with her older brother, then raising her arms and squealing to "BLAST OFF!". They love this show and want to watch it so much, it doesn't bother me if they occasionally see the same episode on TV...they can't get enough! :) | 24,337 |
1 | Conformation of arivle. | I have been a fan of T.A.T.u ever since "all the things she sead. To me it`s theire sound and vocals that I like. I am not in to the love thing, gay or otherwise. They are a fantastic duo, and they play well live. That is the criteria of an artist. Now since this girls have that, this album is conformation of there arivle. I can strongly rekomend both the cd and the dvd. In my apinion this is eccelent. | 12,506 |
1 | Still Relevant! | I know cell phones have replaced old fashioned address books but in my opinion a roledex will never go out of style! It helps my track all my contacts and business cards I an easy and organized manner. I'll be using this for years to come! | 17,724 |
1 | GOOD FAMILY MOVIES | I GAVE THIS TO A RELIGOUS FAMILY AND THEY SAID THEY ENJOYED IT AND MOST WAS SUITABLE FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY, AND THEY ARE VERY STRICT WITH WHAT THEY ALLOW THIER KIDS TO WATCH. | 38,152 |
0 | Chingy? | Chingy. Even the name is a joke. This is some of the worst hip hop/rap around. Generic, pop rap. Thanks god this idiot was short lived, but unfortunately for us, he was replaced by the likes of Young Money and others. | 34,155 |
0 | Disappointing, meandering tale | This is the first Marshall Browne novel I have read, and unfortunately, it was disappointing.The book has an interesting premise and starts promisingly. However, it quickly deteriorates as the protaganist is frozen into inaction, spending most of his time wondering what to do.There is little tension here as the novel slowly makes its way to a predictable conclusion.I hear that Marshall Browne's Inspector Anders novels are much more entertaining so it might be worth trying one of Mr. Browne's other novels first; this one wasn't much chop. | 42,014 |

1 | Almost too good | This game is soooo awsome. iv played a lot of Game Boy Advance games and i just keep coming back to this one. I had ot loan it to a friend for a week, and i am [anxious to get it back], i need to play this game. Anyway this is one of or the best Game Boy Advance game out there, it has action puzzles and magic, what elese could you ask for? Anyway i highly recomend this game, the graphics are dark though so buy a Game Boy Advance light. | 35,106 |
0 | Junk product don't buy it | After using it for a month 5days/week 20-30 min a day the axle sheared off. Implies a very bad product design. | 28,020 |
0 | HATE< HATE< HATE, Them !!!!!!!!! | OK, I reallly disike these filtrs. They smeill bad, and you can't air it out, the best I was able to do was put some lavender oil on the soft material part ,even that ddn't work too well.Then I tried forever to get a comfortable fit to no avail . Fianlly with the best fit I could get by shaping the nose wire adjusting the straps after manually stretching them I achieved what I thought was the best fit I could get with them .I thougt . maybe this will work. Then the sharp edges started digging into my face !They hurt!! It felt like raw edged plastic . I could not keep the mask on for half a minute. I would like everyone to know I am female and have a small to ave size head . I am petite. 5 foot 4. I had big red marks on my face. If you have a tiny head , very tough skin, and weird scents don't bother you, you just might can use these masks , otherwise my advise is NO WAY!! | 41,145 |
0 | weak toaster for an upgrade | As other reviewers pointed out, the bread does not fit into the slots. The slots are too short so that a portion of the bread always sticks out.If the adjustment for light-dark toasting is too high for a particular bread, you can NOT simply stop the toasting. The control lever appears to be electro-magnetic. You have to go and unplug the toaster before it releases!!! How lame is that? Do you want to mess with unplugging and plugging in to control your toaster lever?Too pricey for what you get, and design flaws. | 31,151 |
0 | terrified!!!!!! Extremely dangerous!!!!!!!! | I have a very active 1 year old, I got this gate and put at the bottom of the stairs, I was happy thinking my son wouldn't go up the stairs so I turned my head for two minutes, and when I turned around my son was on top of the gate standing on the middle bar with his head almost on the other side, about to cross to the other side!!!!! thank God it was sturdy!! if not my son would have had a terrible fall!!!!!! I got so scared I returned it immediatly for me it was extremely dangerous!!! DO NOT GET IT IF YOUR CHILD IS ACTIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 4,251 |
0 | Didn't Work as Intended | I bought this so I could use my PS/2 keybord in USB adapter. I was running Windows XP system at the time. It didn't work. A total waste of money. | 9,085 |
0 | Not So Great | For me this was not 'beginning' banjo. The very first lesson gets into how to make a D7 and C chords. As a beginner, I don't even know what a chord is or what it does. Instead of explaining this, she just jumps right into how to make these chords with your fingers. A beginners lesson should assume that I know nothing. This product fails that test. All kinds of free banjo lessons on youtube which I am finding more helpful. | 26,590 |
0 | not my cup of tea | I always try to read the book before I see the movie, but after reading this book, I can't bring myself to see the movie. I guess I am just into whiney tableaus of people who hate their life choices. Maybe it is an era thing? | 14,785 |
1 | Are there more stars available? | Hands down - the greatest piece of fiction I have ever read (and I am not a big reader of fiction). What do I love about Gatsby? 1) It is such a tight story, what a masterpiece in writing! 2) The first couple of sentences. 3) The last paragraphs -- I read them often. Some of the most beautiful words I have ever read. Don't we all have a green light? | 37,251 |
0 | Lost @ "C" True Hollywood Stories | This is just the worst by Canibus. When I got this album, I was hoping for another 2000 B.C. but I was wrong. I have never heard Canibus spit so many terrible lyrics in my life. I have been a big Canibus fan since I heard him with the Lost Boyz. I, a huge fan, saw a change in his style and his lyrics. Even his voice sounds different in this album. Canibus, who I used to consider being one of the greatest lyricist, has become commercial like all these other MC's who did rather well until they started to talk about garbage. I notice that "C" True Hollywood Stories has no point to it at all. He obviously didn't get motivated to make it better. I think if he motivates himself, his albums would be great, maybe better than 2000 B.C. Canibus is the greatest alive, but he will have to erase "C" True Hollywood Stories with another album that'll hopefully be great. Who knows, he'll probally name it 2002 BC.T.H.S. (Before "C" True Hollywood Stories) | 40,175 |
1 | Great Xmas Gift | Family loved getting several packs of these in their stockings! Created lots conversation with adults and enjoyed by young folk, too. | 21,827 |
1 | An accessible approach to a difficult topic | I've had a long running interest in language acquisition and the study of linguistics, and have read many of the original works by authors like Chomsky. What Pinker does, whether you agree with his conclusions or not, is to provide an excellent general overview of linguistic theories. Many linguistic texts are DULL or tortuously difficult to read. Pinker is very clear and writes quite well. He sometimes goes a bit overboard on his theory, but most of the time he's very convincing. I have not yet read the other book referred to below, but look forward to it. | 28,964 |
1 | Uplifting Book! | David Saltzman's book, "The Jester Has Lost His Jingle," is an excellent book that teaches children and adults the importance of a positive attitude and laughter.The main character is a Jester that discovers that everyone has lost their sense of humor and he goes on a journey to find out why there is no laughter.My favorite part of the book is when Saltzman writes, "Then it isn't me at all! It's the world that must be sick. We must find that sense of humor, and bring it back here quick!"On his journey he discovers that people are dealing with "Real" issues (ie...depression, poverty, sickness, etc...) and he takes it upon himself to help people find their "Jingle."The message of this book is very positive and it helps the reader to value laughter and a positive attitude.The illustrations are beautifully done and your child is sure to love this colorful and valuable book.I highly recommend "The Jester Has Lost His Jingle." | 49,244 |
0 | Zero protection against bending it - just RUBBER surrounding the circuit board | A picture is worth a thousand words, see the customer uploaded image above of the circuitboard removed from the rubber case.It is just a circuit board surrounded by rubber! I pulled it out one day on accident, it died shortly thereafter. NOT sturdy enough for your pocket. PLUS the rubber ring is just that - stretchy rubber!PROS: Cheap and fast, just baby it like it made of glass and backup all your data just in case. Corsair kindly replaced it so that was nice...it just isnt a drive you want to c arry with you everywhere. | 30,282 |
1 | Works for me | I had just purchased and returned a Toshiba unit because it wouldn't finalize DVD's.This unit works perfect for my purpose, which is to record to DVD-R's from my DVR. I like being able to pause during commericals and edit them out.It is particular about the media. It took Panasonic DVD-RAM, and TDK 8X with no problem, but wouldn't accept Memorex 4X. At least it will tell you as soon as you insert the DVD if it will accept it or not.Works Great! | 47,348 |
1 | great product | these are great to have around I use them all the time.you use them and then throw them away. it was fastshipping a great price and a great product. | 49,273 |
1 | Horrific African civil war portrayal | Bruce Willis plays Lt. Waters, a hard core, taciturn and ambivalent commander of a U.S. Navy Seal unit assigned to extract American foreign nationals from war torn Nigeria. His mission is to escort an American doctor, played emotionally by Monica Bellucci, who is based in a remote jungle mission. Unfortunately she won't acccompany Willis' team without a group of 70 refugees sheltered at the mission.Willis in a fit of compassion and urged on by Bellucci agrees to escort the rag tag bunch to the safety of neighboring Cameroon. Willis' team and the refugees are being pursued by a murderous band of rebels bent on their destruction. While fleeing they are confronted by horrendous acts of nauseatingly gruesome ethnic cleansing, which bolsters their resolve to complete their mission.Director Antoine Fuqua poignantly creates an excessively graphic allegory portraying the inhuman capablities of man against those perceived as being different or inferior. | 3,275 |

1 | What an album! | I have been a KISS fan for a while and I have always liked Vinnie Vincent's guitar style. Even though Ace is my favorite KISS guitarist, this is one guitar packed album you should not pass up! The first track I ever heard off this album was Boyz R Gonna Rock. It's a great song with an awesome intro. There is nothing bad I can say about this CD. I would have given it five stars, but the vocalist on the album sounds a bit amateur. I have read in interviews where Vinnie has also stated this. Other than that, well done. I wish Vinnie would release some more music. | 15,309 |

0 | Shipped wrong "Fish" to Australia | I also was under the impression this DVD went with the "Fish!" motivational book. $20 to have a stupid documentary about fish sent all the way to Australia. I eagerly waited 6 weeks for my exciting "Fish" DVD, to share with my workmates - I just hope they have forgotten and don't ask me where it is - HOW EMBARRASSING !!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 26,694 |
0 | Uncomfortable | I think this is the kind of thing that is only effective in that, because you are aware that it is there, you may learn to keep your shoulders back. Why are you aware that it's there? Because it's uncomfortable!Also, it rides up in back so that it ceases to be as effective as when you first put it on. | 8,647 |

0 | Jerry Hall's Tal Tales | Although I enjoyed the book very much, it was not in the condition that I expected. It was listed as good condition. The book had stained pages, smelled bad, and had something sticky on the back cover. | 36,867 |
0 | Why a remake? | Why remake a classic comedy of the 70's? Jane Fonda and George Segal were wonderful in the original and had absolutely terrific chemistry. The remake simply can't compare. | 40,993 |
1 | NOS kit description | Greetings:I purchased this NOS kit for use in my NHRA bracket car. The kit has the basic components required to have an active nitrous system.However, the NHRA and IHRA have specific rule requirements for NOS systems if you plan to race your car. You will require by rule a bottle valve blow-down tube and a safety blow-off adapter. You may want the additional 1/4 turn tee safety shut-off valve, additional lengths of line and a bottle pressure gauge. You may also want the nitrous purge system, available separately. Do your best quality installation effort to assure a safe product on-board your race car.Be safe and have fun. | 35,383 |
0 | Don't Waste Your Time | 1st Time Ordering It....I waited for this pie dish for two weeks. At the two week mark, I recieved an email stating that they were unable to provide the pie dish and that it would be taken off my order!!! But it is still on sale!! Plus they have the wrong price up! If you see a price for any Fiestaware product that seems way too cheap to be true, than don't buy it. There are problems with the Amazon system which they have not fixed despite many customer complaints. (Just read the reviews).2nd Time Ordering It.....SOOOOOOOOO...I tried my luck and ordered it again...I really wanted it and it still was $5.49. This time everything was wonderful. I recieved the pie dish on time, it wasn't chipped or in a million pieces and it was exactly what I ordered. I love it! Such a Great color and Size! New Favorite!! | 30,909 |
1 | Cute story. Fast reading. | Nice story to read around Christmas time, about a disruptive neighborhood family the traditional Christmas pageant. Cute story, fast reading. | 40,787 |
1 | Works great | I tried the cheap Mega Blocks before these and they were worthless. These showed up pretty quickly and unlike the mega blocks, they actually stick together when my daughter builds something. When you buy them this way, they show up in bland packaging in little bags, but who cares. I bought the lego table too and it was a great move. All the legos go in the middle of the table and our 2.5 year old actually puts the legos away by herself on occasion. | 40,391 |
1 | not what i expected | when i picked this book up i wasn't sure what to expect. i had seen the bad movie years ago but didn't remember any of it. I just read Red Dragon and Silence of the Lambs back to back and was ready for more. In a nutshell I was hooked right away and I unlike other and like some others loved this book. Well written, entertaining and thoroughly engrossing and I think it had to do with reading the others first. I have grown to actually like Dr. Lector because of this book and appreciate him for whatever he is. He became a fascination for me and I wanted to learn more. This book is what it is, it is not a 'Silence' sequel but frankly its is better then both those books combined. | 34,370 |
0 | Hoop Ring | I can't even use it. It's actually too small for any of todays rims. The concept is nice but most of the rims today are thicker. This is set to be used on a very old thin type of rim. It's never been used and I'm very disapointed in it. | 22,012 |
0 | This guy needs to get a clue! | I don't know where this guy was when the trial was going on but he must have his head stuck somewhere very dark! I truly believe that this book was written just to get his name in print since he did not make it on the defense team! There is not one thing new in this book only the author looks at everything differently than most of the world! This one is not worth reading. | 47,903 |
