1 | A Decent Movie | Honestly, I like this movie. I agree with the other reviewer who felt that the scenes with the children dancing detracted from the plot. However, if you ignore the kids you get a movie with a creepy atmosphere, some good scares, and morality. Plus, you get killer bugs that may or may not be the incarnation of the souls of the people who have been buried in a Potter's field.What's not to like? | 5,751 |
1 | Romantic Comedy | A real comedy of errors as Jane Howell(Sandra Dee) meets and begins dating a wealthy business man Tom Milford)(Bobby Darin). The scene is New York City and Jane is a young maid-for-hire; having met Tom she is too embarrased to have him see her tiny apartment so she takes him to a very nice apartment, i.e. one that she cleans. What she doesn't know though is that this grand place is really his; he goes right along with this deception until she stubles accross the truth of the situation. Feeling greatly deceived, she sets out to exact her revenge; this proves, though, that love happens in the most unexpected places under the most humerous of circumstances. | 25,321 |
0 | Dumbest movie I've seen in a long time | Bad Effects, bad storyline, just a bunch of people unrealistically getting killed. Horrible. I rented this on amazon, because the trailer looked interesting, but it's not at all. | 31,832 |
0 | A long fan letter, not a biography | Written by R.K. Johnson, personal friend of Bob Jones, Sr. and in the employ of Bob Jones University at the time this book was first published, this hack job is anything but objective. Bob Sr. walks on water on every page.Still, page 138 is a hoot, because the good reverend's own cheerleader confesses that Bob had a soft spot in his heart for the Ku Klux Klan! | 24,371 |
0 | Way, way underwhelming | I was waiting for this movie for a very long time. I thought that because it had some great actors in it, that it would be a great movie itself. I was wrong. What was a promising movie turned into nothing more than an empty vessel for communicating a cynicism about politics. This is nothing new, nor was it done in a new way. So what one is left with in watching this movie is just a feeling of watching something old and tired. Its a shame because it could have been a contender. | 36,907 |
1 | bought them at best buy | I had a best buy gift card and I decided to get these earphones,and so far they are great. I wear them when I am walking. They stay in my ear and the sound is great too. | 635 |
1 | Good but not great | My Mom bought me this for my Birthday awhile back. Its a ok bike has full suspension/disc brakes. It uses a 7 speed cassette so its easy to replace. It has a few cheap parts though. The derailleur is not the best & the thin aluminum spokes bend very easy. I replaced them about a month after owning the bike along with the tubes. Its a little on the heavy side but that is no big deal. I have about 3700 miles on it so far with basic maintenance. About 1100 of those miles are off road/trailing.I would recommend this bike to anyone starting out. Full suspension bikes offer you a very good way to burn off cals Vs solid frame bikes. Just be prepared to work a little harder.My bike when I bought it from here came with bent teeth on the cassette (Amazon was nice and replaced it though).-1 star for the flimsy Derailleur & spokes. | 7,109 |
0 | Great Picture - Did I Go Deaf? | We initially got this TV because it was priced right and it was a perfect fit for the kitchen - the standard television box just took up too much space on the counter. Initially, we loved it. It had a great picture and the sound quality was fine. After a few months, the sound started to cut out for brief periods of time and then cut back in. We thought it was our cable service - until we turned on a TV in the other room. The periods of time that the sound would cut off got increasingly longer in duration until - eventually - we had no sound at all. We contacted Polaroid. They wanted us to ship it back to them (paying for the shipping) PLUS send them $155. We weighed our options and opted to get a different TV for approximately the same amount of money as that would have cost us. So far, we're perfectly happy with our Vizio VA19L HDTV10T. | 2,083 |
0 | Superbit DVD, not a reference one. | My review is for the SUPERBIT release of this movie. SUPERBIT is supposed to represent the top of the line and best image quality a DVD can achieve and many times those DVDs are actually reference DVDs. Well, the quality in this SUPERBIT edition of RESIDENT EVIL is so so, not bad not good, just like any other DVD. It certainly does not do justice to the SUPERBIT term. Other DVDs that honor the SUPERBIT name are the FIFTH ELEMENT and THE BIG HIT version but this version is nothing to talk about. It is not as terrible as the other SUPERBIT DVD or Charlie's Angels but if you are buying this DVD for reference or video quality purposes look elsewhere. | 38,682 |
0 | yuck! | Pure and simple, as bas as Lynyrd Skynyrd! (And that is bad!). Give me some real music like Tori! | 39,928 |
1 | Totally Toto | I didn't know too much about Toto except for a couple of their mega-hit songs. I enjoyed watching them sing and perform.I noticed that the Dutch really go wild for them.This is their 25th anniversary, and I am surprised at how strong they continue to be. Watching those guys go crazy on their instruments is amazing. | 20,476 |
0 | Junk | I ordered 2 sticks at 1g each (2g). Installed them and found out they were 512m each, the same thing I already had. My computer started acting crazy. I had to put my old memory back in. Ripoff! | 25,935 |
1 | Defending Ivan the Terrible | The book is written by John Demjanjuk's Israeli lawyer. Anyone following what is happening to Demjanjuk today should read this book. It makes you understand what the motivation is behind the prosecution of John Demjanjuk.Why the OSI created false evidence against this innocent man. | 3,510 |
0 | anti bark collar not 100%effective | I have 2 Yorkies. I thought for sure this would deter their barking at people and other dogs while in the back yard. I am not sure if they bark and the spray runs out too quickly, but after a day or so- they are barking at full force with their collars on. I have replaced the battery to troubleshoot, but the barking continues. I have NEVER been unsatisfied with anything I purchased from Amazon before, but I am very dissatisfied with this product. | 43,763 |
1 | What you see is not always what you get | I bought these as a carry over until I get the pair I really wanted. Come to find out these were actually the headphones I've been looking for all along. I don't like the color but get past the superficial and you'll find a pair of great sounding headphones. They're clear and the bass is incredible. Those of you having problems with the bass should check your source. I'm currently using these headphones with my Sansa Fuze and I'm very happy. | 37,485 |
1 | Very happy | Very happy with this mount. It looks nice, had all the required parts to mount my 50" plasma, and is easy to put together. I had no trouble with the instructions. | 41,221 |
0 | nightmare | The 500GB is a RAID of two 250GB HDs. Mine had Maxtor HDs and they went to sleep constantly which is not a good idea for a server. The enclosure got very hot when stacked horizontally in the optional d2 rack. One week adfter it was off warranty, the enclosure had a catastrophic failure. I also had a 250GB in this series and the HD and chipset were replaced under warranty and then the circuit board failed off warranty. | 11,127 |

0 | Worst Camcorder Ever | I bought this cam due to the great price 20 days ago. Upon testing it out at home, I found artifacts floating all over the screen. The time and date imprint kept on resetting by itself. Lcd has bad spots on it. If using the image stabilizer, the image will roll quite a bit upon capturing through firewire so beware. Image quality is the worst ever for a digital cam. I had better pic quality from my old panasonic vhs-c cam. Time and date also vanished when capturing to PC via firewire with aist digital movie suite. I am returning this product and buying a Sony TRV 27 even if I have to pay a bit extra. Heard great review for that model. Save yourselves the frustration and buy Canon, Pana, or Sony!!! | 46,757 |
0 | Not Very Fun | It wasn't that much more for the game and the controller so we bought the game+controller pack. Wii Play is really hard to play and control and doesn't have very fun games. | 18,872 |
0 | THIS THING SUCKS! | This product is absolutely terrible. I've tried it in every state from SC to WI and never got it to transmit a clear signal. It's weak. If you enjoy static its the right choice, but if not dont buy it. | 40,094 |
0 | ...................... | .............Ohh sorry i fell asleep again this book is just so boring it is insane its way to boring 2 even think about reading my advice is NEVER READ THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im in (...)and i was forced to read it my eyes were almost permenttaly shut after reading | 17,049 |
1 | Learning about Teaching | Very helpful and authoritative summaries of terms that are easily confused but essential for reading any of the literature in the field of education. A bit uneven, with some items including editorializing, but a good resource for anyone in a masters of education program. A teacher familiar with the terms in this book could never be accused of being just a caretaking technician; just browsing through this collection of definitions would make a teacher more thoughtful and deliberate. | 15,264 |

0 | Disappointed. Random LOUD chirping | Disappointed. I bought 7 of these for every room in the house and 2 of them keep going off and chirping for no reason. And it is LOUD. I have replaced the batteries. Really bummed. I have only had these for 2 weeks and installed all 7. Uhg. | 4,525 |
0 | koopmans | This is the worst toy I have ever seen. My two boys are such spiderman fans and were so excited to get this for christmas. There is no possible way it can work. The sandman is too heavy and constantly falls over. How frustrating. I can't encourage you enough to not buy this toy, it is horrible. | 35,374 |
1 | All in one place | This is just what I was looking for, all of the hits on one cd. Ii didn't want to buy several differnet ones just to get what I wanted, while having to accept some stuff I didn't want. | 32,492 |
1 | I love college | Describes college life pretty well haha the poster is normal sized and was sent in brand new condition. I love it | 20,841 |
0 | Deny All Knowledge: read review | The book "Deny all Knowledge" is one my mom bought me for Christmas, I am 14 years old and one of the biggest X-Files fans on the face of the earth. I found this book VERY hard to understand, yet, I finished it. The words are hard to make out and I don't recommend it to anyone under 16 yrs of age. | 19,497 |
0 | Scary | We received this crockpot as a wedding present. I have come home to scorched chicken breasts, burnt roast, and too many other horrible messes to name. Do not buy it. The lid does not lay nicely, let's moisture out, and rattles. Everything cooks the same whether on high or low. It gets so hot. | 42,601 |
0 | Sorry Mr.Karajan | Karajan has been hiped so much and has been marketed so well that people know karajan as conductor extrodinare, however the fact remains that his cycles of the Brahms symphonies are painfull to the ears. I own several recordings of brahms and would strongly recommend you to stay away. Sanderling or Walter are any day preferable. | 34,378 |
0 | Missing parts. | My 9-piece scroll chuck system set is only a 7 piece set. The 2 Tightening Levers were not in the box. The box was sealed. Nothing in my shop fits the holes in the chuck for the tightening levers. Therefore i've yet to use it as i'm 50 mi. from a hardware store. | 25,270 |
1 | The one that started them all | James Herriot (not his real name) has given us a series of wonderful stories about all creatures the big and the small. Even if you hate these kinds of book you are bound to find one of the stories that you like.My personal favorite is story of Mrs. Donovan the town busybody and amateur vet.Wonderful collection | 17,626 |
0 | Bad Science, OK Fiction | If you prefer hard science Sci-Fi, avoid this book. The difficulty in writing Sci-Fi set in the near future is maintaining a sense of believability. Unfortunately, the science as set forth in this novel is sadly deficient. Even if the technologigal geegaws set forth in this book were invented in late 1996 (the book was printed in May, 1996) it is implausible that they would have totally replaced the former infrastructure by 2010 (the year in which the main events occur).However, this Sci-Fi book is more interested in the story than the technical geegaws. Within the technological framework given, the story, although treacly and predictable, is enjoyable as a borrow once from the library book. I would not recommend purchase of it tho. | 43,571 |
1 | Clarity on the Feminist Movement and where it can go next | Bell Hooks is an articulate and inspired writer. This book is a great primer to give to friends and family to inform them about the feminist movement...since many people hear only what the mainstream media has to say...this book takes into account the perspectives of black and white women/men.A free-thinker leverages the brilliance of others to enable him/her in developing and testing his/her own ideas...this is one author which will certainly help you in testing and developing your own ideas on feminism and patriarchy.It is concise, easy reading. It also clearly reflects many of the same historical points which I recently saw on the PBS special "Not For Ourselves Alone"...a program about the early suffrage movement pioneers, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony. | 42,456 |
0 | The Last Scarpetta Book I Will Read | After the just plain bad Blowfly, I was hoping the series would pick up the quality and interesting characters and writing characterizing the early series novels.I was wrong, and knew it from reading only the first chapter. The third-person, present-tense narrative is annoying and tedious, and the characters have become banal and boring. There isn't a single character in the story that elicits even the tiniest amount of interest, sympathy or appreciation. The writing and dialogue (and constant repetition of certain ideas and phrases) breeds yawns instead of page-turning. I wish it weren't so, but this will be the last time I attempt to read a Cornwell: there are far too many fresh, invigorating authors and characters out there as competition. Scarpetta and company have missed the mark with no indication of a future regeneration. Their time is past. RIP. | 1,450 |
1 | The Hill is Back! | First off I like to mention that I've been a huge Cypress Hill fan since their debut in '91. So when I purchased this LP I really didn't think much from it since their last album "Stoned Raiders" was a huge disapointment. I was DEAD WRONG, Cypress take's it back to their roots w/ the hardcore beats and rhymes and Sen Dogg really impressed me on this w/ his flows. B-Real still comes wit it on his rhymes skills and of course Muggs w/ his dark hardcore beats. This album adds a lot of musical flava to it as well, from reggae to spanish hip-hop. I recommend this album to any hardcore Cypress Hill fan or just to any one w/ a broad range of music taste. The Hill is Back! | 31,241 |

0 | Very buggy, downright cruel! | I wonder if someone over at DreamWorks doesn't really like kids. Why else would they release a game that is buggy? From the outset, we couldn't get the horse to move. We tried everything. Eventually the kids wandered away. As did most of the adults. But determined, I kept trying. After rebooting for the 4th time, the horse FINALLY began to move. HEY, I'M NOT YOUR TESTING DEPARTMENT! I PAID YOU, NOT THE OTHER WAY ROUND!!Then once we were in the game, there were many other issues. So disappointing. And why is ther no help button? Or any help in the instruction book?Nope, I don't think they like or understand children over at DreamWorks. I'm going to avoid all there products in the future. | 34,294 |
1 | One of my favorite movies of all time!!! | This movie truly represents an awesome version of the cinderella story...it's such a great chick flick for all the girls to have on a girls night with popcorn and goodies. I loved all of the choice of actors/actresses, they truly fit the charachters well. Good choice in costuming as well, very beautiful costumes and the countryside was absolutely awesome. Go buy it, and have a girls night in your pajamas with lots of goodies. You will be truly happy with this purchase. | 318 |
0 | Optical Assembly Problems | After 13 months of being very satisfied with this TV we noticed blue areas on the screen that measured about 3 inch by 24 inch. We contacted Sony and after a very lengthy process they agreed to pay for parts and we paid for labor. The repair shop replaced the optical assembly ($800) while we paid the labor ($300). However, the replacement optical assembly is not color balanced. It produces a distinct redish tone on the left side and a bluish tone on the right. This was confirmed with using a Minolta CS100 Colorimeter The repair shop said that was the best they could do. Bottom line: this is a great TV when it works properly, but get an extended warranty as LCD rear projection technology does not have the reliability of a CRT. Finally consider other manufactures. Whenever we shopped for a TV, video camera, etc. we only bought Sony. However, after this experience Sony should no longer receive a free pass on quality. | 34,274 |
1 | Come on, release it on DVD already !!! | The prints the studio has of the Buck Rogers TV series cant be any worse than the ones that were used to create the Planet Of The Apes: The Complete TV Series box set, so please release this movie and TV series on DVD. Thank-you. | 27,999 |
1 | Accurate, quick, and easy | Even an amateur aquarium owner like myself can use this kit. It's very straightforward. There are instructions in a provided booklet, but they also appear on the individual bottles. The sample results can be compared to a color key without much difficulty, and the colors change in no more than a minute. | 27,003 |
0 | Does not fit battery charger | The batteries (I got three of them) seem to fit my G7 perfectly, but they will not fit the battery charger so I will be returning them. I did not get a chance to use them in the camera as I prefer to use charged batteries, not flat ones. | 6,268 |
1 | Wood is expensive... | Using the sticks for Rock Band (the game), and was surprised at how pricey drumsticks were. So I decided to buy a bunch... and viola! These might be a bit big for Rock band, (they are about 1" bigger and slightly wider than another set I've got for the game) but the price was right & they seem to work fine (maybe if I was good I'd notice something :) anyway I'm set for quite a while, and only paid twice the price of actual Rock band drumsticks... | 38,443 |
0 | Don't buy | Didn't last long. Plastic gear gave out fast and I'm not a contractor, used it only occasionally. The Husky at the Home Depot (or wherever) is much better. You been warned! | 7,350 |
1 | love it | kids don't stop playing with it, they just are so excited to play with it and so much entertaining to them. | 48,940 |
0 | Something To Watch. . . | . . .To pass away the time while Easter dinner was still being prepared. Other than that, I never would've watched this movie. It seemed to be the end result of a copy/past job and it made no sense. I thought it was pretty awful and I couldn't believe Ben Affleck would star in something like "Smokin' Aces". At least his character died off in the beginning. Alicia Keys is beautiful, but her acting was horrendous. She used the same expressionless face and the same flat, raspy, expressionless voice throughout the entire movie. She was as interesting as a piece of cardboard with a wig on top of it. Common did a little bit better and he should definetly consider a career in acting. Other than that, I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone unless they were really bored. | 41,754 |
1 | A fun toy,not really for makeovers | My 8 yr old received this toy from Santa. Once we figured it out, we had a blast. It's not meant to be a real makeover, but rather a fun time. We brought the toy to our friends house, where the 7 kids... ages 3 to 8 thought it was hilarious. They "made over" the dog & turned one of the 6 yr old boys into a "rock star". I only paid $40 versus the $120 advertised on this site. This is a great toy for a girly sleepover. The picture is grainy unless you get the lighting in the proper position. Electronic board games can cost more & usually need more than 1 person to play. A kid can play this alone. Relax & enjoy your childs creativity. It's better than kids just sitting there "zoned out" playing a Gameboy or Nintendo DS. This is a much more interactive toy. I would recommend it at the $40 price but not much higher | 30,273 |
1 | Excellent quick reference! | The book is divided into 70+ short articles which makes it very easy to read. One can quickly jump to a subject of his interest.. ranging from pre-production, lighting and sound, camera and directing techniques, desktop editing, etc. A lot of valuable tips and tricks provided.There is a "sidebar" section in most every article where some real-life examples are given.In terms of post-production, it is suitable for people using Adobe Premiere and Final Cut Pro. | 19,395 |
0 | Just skip this book | I have NEVER written a negative review about a book before, but I am actually annoyed that I wasted 3 evenings of my life on The Ruins. I read it based on Stephen King's recommendation (I LOVE his work), and I cannot TELL you how disappointed I was. This is just not a good story. Period. I'm an AVID reader, so I feel like I'm a pretty good judge. I've read work by all different types of authors (like Clive Cussler, Michael Crighton, Stephen King, Dean Koontz, Erik Larson, Annette Shreve, Pat Conroy, Ken Follett, Nicholas Sparks, etc.), and I read quite a bit that shows up on the NY Times Best Seller List. The Kite Runner is one of the best books I've read in five years. It's with great regret that I must say The Ruins is one of the worst. | 3,182 |
0 | Overproduced, Bland, and Unfocused | Like albums from Charlotte Church and this program runs the emotional gamut from A to B. Seemingly unrelated source material is all given a bland MOR treatment. Many reviews have complemented the singer's voice, but the constant electronic enhancement obscures her singing, and creates a synthesized tone reminiscent of Muzak in Chinese restaurants. The booming choruses are really ridiculous given the singer's tiny voice. And "Amazing Grace" deserves special mention as a truly unworthy performance, especially when there are so many great ones. There's possibly talent here, but voice lessons and enough musical experience to develop a point of view are needed before another disk is warranted | 6,036 |
0 | Day 3 and it's already leaking ink... | I paid 50 bucks for a pen that is already leaking on its third day of use. The craftsmanship is shoddy. The packaging itself has nicks on it. The pen is leaking from the silver ring above the first one. I've had to use scotch tape on it so that it doesn't keep staining my fingers. The box says made in China, and well quite frankly, the product seems to be exactly that, made in China.I always thought Cross was suppose to be a good brand of pens, but I now know they aren't. The problem for me is I ordered 3 of these pens and one ball point one all at the same time so I could give a few of them away as gifts. What am I going to do now? This bites. | 1,611 |
1 | My wife loved it ! | It's one of her favorite movies.It's my first time watching a movie on Blue Ray.Thanks for sending it quickly. | 5,434 |
0 | Weak points too strong | I agree with the other reviewers that the material is basically presented well, but that this book is outdated and too expensive for the presentation of a fairly humble amount of information. I would like to add two points. First, this book shares an all too common problem with IT books in that an editor should have taken another look at this book to catch the numerous grammar errors (notably in subject/verb agreement) and redundant passages. Second, this book has a fictional case study scenario at the end of every chapter. I found these to be poorly thought-out and not particularly helpful, especially when compared to the very informative, well-chosen actual case studies to which the authors did not devote enough time. I suggest teachers use a different book. | 13,534 |
0 | Sets the wrong example | I think this book is setting the wrong example. The very first move, they are standing, he whacks the opponent in the sternum (nothing gentle about that) and then proceeds to throw him over his shoulder. So much for the gentle art of self defense. Typical macho idiot (although I probably would not say that to him in a dark alley).For a MUCH better book get the below:http://www.amazon.com/Jiu-Jitsu-Complete-NAKAE/dp/0806504188The book above.. teaches how a tiny lady can take down a humongoid dude with 1 finger.. . now THAT is the gentle art of self defense.Just no comparison. | 12,267 |
1 | Lovely Shawls | Extremely well made. And just large enough to cover upper body. The feel of the fabric is soft with the pile beingjust right. I bought one black and one gray. | 5,340 |
1 | Great bedtime album-here's a translation of a portion of First Lullaby | I got this from a tag sale on cassette and liked it. I used to listen to it in bed. One song on it, "First Lullaby" is part American-English and part French. If you don't know French, here is a translation of the French lyrics:Mon petit enfant, mon petit enfant-My little child, my little childLe ciel est dans tes yeux-The sky is in your eyesMais ferme les maintenant, mais ferme les maintenant-But close them now, but close them nowDemais c'est un autre jour-Tomorrow is another day.I bet the reason for making some of the lyrics our language and others foreign is to make it rhyme-it would rhyme in French, but not in American English. I think the lyrics booklet should include a translation of the French lyrics for people who have never been exposed to the French language. | 41,130 |
1 | Great read of women's lifestyles in 1930's | This book is essentially a how to book for young women growing up in the 1930's. It is fascinating reading on what young girls of that period were taught about becoming a woman. All the required "domestic" skills of the day are explained in great detail, as well as the requisite social skills. Topics include how to dress in style; care for a home; care for children; sew your own clothes, to name a few. The graphics are delightful, portraying images of that period.If you would enjoy taking a trip in a time machine to the 1930's world of a young lady, then you will love this book. | 38,911 |
0 | Just not that good. | This set really isn't enjoyable. I knew in buying this that the videos would be omitted, and i thought it would still be decent, but the cartoons just don't holdup as well w/out the videos. They haven't aged well. After watching the first two discs, I was thoroughly disappointed, but the 3rd disc (with the standalone videos and other appearances) was decent. B&B; are far funnier when interacting watching videos (a la Mystery Science Theater 3000)and commenting than they are in their episodes. The documentary is halfway interesting, too.It's highly unlikely that MTV will be able to issue these episodes with the videos included on DVD. Hate to say it, but unless you can find the original broadcasts bootlegged, B&B; is best left as a memory. Not worth revisiting on DVD without the music videos.One last note - the holiday bonus disc offered by some retailers contains two B&B; Christmas episodes, nothing more. Again, no videos, and no Butthead whipping Beavis like a reindeer. | 44,819 |
0 | Alas... | What a disappointment, after the bright promise of Dunning's first Janeway mystery. This is just too long, too overblown. Apparently the author thought that more was better, and he just piled it on. Blame some of this on the editor at the publishing house. If about 100-150 pages had been omitted, this might have been worth reading. As Gertrude Stein told Hemingway: "Prune, Ernest, prune." | 9,410 |
1 | They really should have called this One Bad Night! or Wrong Place at the Wrong Time | This is definitely an underated film starring Cuba,Estevez,Piven,the young bad guy from queen of the damned and the man himself, Denis Leary. These guys make the biggest mistake of their lives and take a wrong turn.Literally. It starts out with going to a game in an RV and they decide to get off the freeway, end up in nowheres land right into the hands of the worst thugs you could ever meet. The thugs of course wanted a guy who owed them money, who happened to have walked in front of the RV. Thugs catch up and shoot him and the boys witness it all and become victims of circumstance. The night seemed like it would never end because they were always trying to get away. Definitely definitely not something you want to happen to you! This is scarrier than horror movies. Why? because its reality! | 42,218 |

0 | company guarantee is a scam | beware, beware!We bought some great looking expensive Tracy Porter dishes ($25 each!) with a written "microwave-safe" guarantee on the back of each piece. When one split earlier this year (2011) in our microwave during normal use, I contacted the rep, even sent a picture of the broken dish, who promised to get it addressed but then subsequently blamed "the manufacturer" and refused to do a thing.I would never recommend any of their products as a result. All this over $25!! I even emailed her and warned that i would be writing this review!

0 | DO NOT BUY | It says heavy duty. I would believe that given the thickness of the tape. You can't tear it off like ordinary packaging type. Yes, it is heavy duty as long as the tape stays on the package. It does not stick at all. You almost need you apply your own glue to keep it on the package. | 34,034 |
0 | bleh | This book--not so great. I'm not impressed with Oprah's track record so far. I know I will meet alot of opposition to this, but this book is not interesting, especially considering the fact that you have to wade through 5 million pages of it.I am a twin, and found the book smacked with insincerity as far as that relationship. The writing style was annoying, and the ending a completely unrealistic letdown. Don't buy this book unless you have bad taste. | 24,221 |
1 | . | I picked this book up because of the title. I hate Chick Lit so that was a good advertisment for me (also I'm drawn to books that are black or pink...More so books that are black AND pink) I'm glad I bought it because I haven't had a lot of love for female general fiction writers. I suppose I have some sexist opinions of them but I had just never found a female writer that would go to any extremes as say, Joey Comeau or Carlton Mellick III would. Needless to say, this has proved me wrong. | 6,082 |
1 | In her language, her voice, there is a naked view of thesoul | I first came across Sharon Olds' poetry in a volume of theBest American Poetry edited by David Lehman. The poem,True Love, which ends the hardcover edition of Wellspringis a beautiful love song I first found there. That poem inno way prepared me for the depth and range of feeling foundin Wellspring or the frank approach to the intimacy offamily and life. She leads subtly to the deepest of emotions, exposing the rawness of life and it's wildestbeauty. Riveted would be an apt description of readingthis book. There is an invitation to invasion of privacy,which once taken leads the reader, first as witness andfinally as partner, to a celebration of living........Chester Morrison 3/27/97 | 23,191 |
0 | How did this win an award? | I got this book for my 3 year old because they read it at preschool. I'll sometimes pick up books that they've read at preschool so that we can also read them at home. It's obviously just my very minority opinion, but this book is terrible. The pictures are quite harsh, and it's just page after page of poor David doing things and getting yelled at. My son was actually somewhat worried about the fish on the cover. 'Mommy, those fish look really worried... will they be okay?' Sorry, but there are way too many excellent children's books out there to add this to your collection. | 29,223 |
1 | One of the Best | amazing musicianship from Chieftains, bringing out superb performances from such a variety of other stars. Would be a 5 star disc but for last track which seems a bit of a filler. Others are all outstanding, with Coast of Malabar the pick of the bunch. | 37,482 |
0 | Did not work | Set up said to install driver BEFORE card installation. After inserting card , then removing card to install drivers, the card was not recognized by Window's XP. After numerous attempts to manually point to the driver.... was not able to get card going... Installing drivers first is DUMB.... don't get this card... | 10,268 |
0 | It leaks and does not vent well. Wish Advent makes a BPA free bottle. | The only reason we got this is for BPA free. It is complicated with many parts to clean. It does not vent when you screw the nipple on too tight. However if you let it loose, it leaks!!! We think we are pretty good at fixed things, but these are hard to use compare to Advant bottles.It will take Advent nipples, but it will leaks too. However Advent nipples vents much better. If only Avant makes BPA free bottle, we will swiych back in a second. It did not get one start becasue of the BPA:( | 44,650 |
1 | OOOOOOO yeah... | Let me just say that it takes a lot for a cd to come along and really just make me sit up and listen, and listen, and keep listening. Damien Rice's "O" is one of those rarities that keeps me having faith in the music industry today. Soft and yet powerful strings, mixed with the melodic blend of Damien and other musician's voices, topped with astonishing lyrics create a combination that will leave the listener speechless, which is what a good album should do. This isn't just a cd, its an artistic masterpiece that should be in everyone's collection. | 43,645 |
0 | Classic Game | I'll admit that this game gets boring quickly, but I grew up playing that game. To me, it is a classic. When I was just three, my family drove to South Dakota and my brother and I played this game over and over. This was before all the techno toys we have now, but it still amused me for hours on the long boring trip. Today's kids probably would not find this game very entertaining, but I still will buy it for my neice. | 22,618 |
0 | The Boys on auto-pilot. | This is what you guys came up with! I knew it couldn't last but if these guys don't stop (excuse the pun) phoning in their performances I just might have to do somethin' silly and stop buying their CD's. What is this stuff? The Boys used to be artists; the way they used English language was avant garde and refreshing. Now they do caricatures of their characters, who were only novel vessels which to screw around with people in the first place. The jewel of the bunch here is "Willy the Jackass" Now that's some funny s**t. The guys have lost their edge. Pranksters mourn. | 18,564 |
0 | Lasted 40 days | Worked fine when I first got it, the fan wasn't loud as other reviewers described and it was simple to put together. But the computer stopped recognizing the drive after 40 days, I swapped drives to ensure it wasn't the dvd-drive itself, but the enclosure wouldn't work with any drive I put in it. Unfortunately, it's so cheap, it's not even worth going to the manufacturer to warranty. Easier to pick up a new one (not a Nexstar). Unfortunately, I can't recommend the brand or drive because it didn't even last one year. | 7,546 |
0 | Very Disappointed | I purchased the Inno after reading great reviews of it here and in several publications. But, unless I've got a particular bad unit, the build quality is awful. The headphone jack will not hold onto my Etymotic Research earphone plug, which pulls out constantly. No other electronic device that I have has this problem. I found posts on the Web from other people who have also had the headphone jack problem. Also, the on/off slide switch seems to be defective. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Finally, I was surprised at how spotty the reception is. I'm in the SF Bay Area, and this is my first XM experience. I expected that I would have great reception at my location. But the signal drops out constantly. I actually looked forward to getting this product, but I'm returning it. | 43,300 |
1 | Cat Heaven | This stuff is a miracle worker! We used when we drove across country with three cats We used it when we moved into a new home and when we introduced a new kitten after having lost one cat to old age. | 26,877 |
1 | Very good stuff | This guide constitutes an excellent effort in describing major artists in different music genres.But I found certain omissions, for example in Dave Brubeck an album is mentioned Time Changes but there is no review of it at all.In Easy Listening I didn't found Roger Whittaker who has been praised with a special edition of Billboard magazine several years ago.Another one is Claudine Longet which had several records of her own.Anyway this guide is a must for any music fan. | 4,209 |
1 | Great for the money | The Logitech QuickCam Messenger WebCam is a great little toy for the money. I really can't compare it to other webcams because this is the first one I've ever used. However, installation is pretty easy but takes a strangely long 15-20 minutes. It integrates seamlessly into Yahoo Messenger. It also works alongside AOL IM and MSN Messenger but takes separate software (included). The only catch is the other side has to download special Logitech software to see it with AOL and MSN (I don't know if Yahoo requires an add-in or whether the webcam feature is already included). Still, when I used it with a friend they could see me in less than 5 minutes including the download. As you'd expect, the quality of the feed depends on the connection on both sides. Overall, a good product for a small investment. | 29,830 |
1 | Excellent if you have all the machines; not so useful if you have a small shop. | I chose this one because it has step-by-step color images and the format is broken down into logical sections for the beginner.The only problem is that most of the procedures require large machines (e.g., table saw, planer/joiner, wood lathe…). I have very limited space, so I have only hand tools and small machines. I could improvise based on the book's descriptions, but that still means most of the images and text are not useful for me. This book would be 5-stars if it had alternate methods for small shops. I hope the publisher makes one for that purpose in the series…If I had a larger shop, or easy access to one, I would keep this book and I will definitely re-buy it if I ever expand my shop. So, highly recommended if you have the machines! | 6,094 |
1 | Works as advertised, but the whole system has a few kinks | Guess thats why they are discontinuing the product. Its a shame because it works well, just has a few issues to resolve. | 45,118 |
0 | Nyah | We bought this to match the oil rubbed bronze theme in our half bath. The thing is basically black. Doesn't tie in as well as I'd hoped. Also says it fits Wellworth Kohler, but it was too long for my Wellworth. I had to cut it, drill a hole and attach a key ring to make it work. It's also way overpriced. Should be $8.99 for what it is. | 22,751 |
1 | Lovely Sweet scent at a great price! | I had a sample of this Eau de Toilette and had fallen in love with it. I could not find it at any stores that I went to. Surprisingly one day I found it at Amazon by accident. It was a steal at $26.99 :D I love the Vanilla, lemon, citrusy sweet scent .... very delicious ;)It had free shipping and arrived in 2 days .... I was very pleasantly surprised :) Item exactly as shown. | 4,027 |
0 | Fairly Outdated | This book is quite outdated. For example, it predates NFS version 3, NFS over TCP (mostly the default these days), or autofs.If you are a beginner and are looking for fundamental information this book might be useful if you remain aware of its shortcomings. It covers the fundamentals of NFS V2 over UDP, and NIS quite well, and has a good troubleshooting section, which might help beginners negotiate the interoperability and tuning issues that are common in today's multivendor environments. It covers automounting issues quite well, from an "automount" (SunOS 4) perspective. | 36,690 |
1 | Large Headphones | Headphones are large, good sounds, very tight on your ears, and cord very long, other then that very good. | 32,078 |
1 | Big sound, small footprint | I was looking for a good sound in a small speaker set and found it in this product. I've been pleased with my purchase. | 28,585 |
0 | This is ONLY a libretto!!! | These reviews seem to be about the opera ... not about this product. Well enough. Although one wonders why at this point in time it is necessary for random Amazon customers to review Puccini's opera. This product, however, is only a libretto. It is returned when you search for a vocal score of the opera. The delivery time is agonizingly long, and the product is nowhere accurately or fairly described. It is just a small paperback printing of the words. However, it is without question one of the worst of this type of product. There is no standard opposing columns or pages with the original Italian and the translated English. Instead, the English is just jumbled in with the Italian. It is just riven with typos ... often a dozen or more a page. This is a worthless product, a waste of the paper it is printed on. | 46,695 |
1 | Nothing special | I bought this book for a Social Studies teaching class. This was the only mandatory book. Other students have found the material to be dense and information packed. I do not. I find it to be a standard MODERN book on teaching methodology. It gives some good ideas, but nothing out of the ordinary. All in all, it delivers what it promises. | 18,194 |
1 | A fantastic live album... | Having generally always hated the Smiths and especially Morrissey, it was a unique pleasure to listen to this well-crafted live album. He is clearly one of the best and the album proves it.Question though, he says, "Hello Los Angeles" at the very beginning of the album. Is he being sarcastic, or is this entire album really from a single show? Either way this is great stuff... | 7,781 |
0 | Gorillaz ARE "false icons"! | "REJECT FALSE ICONS?"Gorillaz ARE FALSE ICONS!This is trash... the vocals, music, all of it. Anyone can make up a bunch of cartoon identities for themselves, it's just a new craze that many people are sadly getting sucked into. Gorillaz must be happy living high on the hog with the money of their fans, at the same time as encouraging them to "reject false icons." The hypocrisy of it makes me want to invent my own stupid fad just to make money, but I'd rather be poor than purposely make myself look like a freak.To conclude, "Demon Days" is a silly album. That's all. Silly. | 25,078 |
1 | An excellent read | This is a charming and complete-in-its-own prequel to the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Full of adventures and excitement, but without the weight of such a complicated set of story lines as the Lord of the Rings series. One of my favorites! | 43,839 |
0 | boring. | Although the acting was good the stories were a bit boring and lengthy. I'm sorry to say they did not hold up very well to the test of time. Perhaps if I were a decade or so older I might have appreciated them more. I do not reccomend it at any price. | 4,842 |
1 | Pure Enjoyment! | I've never been drawn to Regency romances, but this book had me hooked from the first line. Full of unique, fully formed characters, Linore Rose Burkard has penned a novel that evokes thoughts of Jane Austen. I enjoyed reading about the customs of the time, the fun and pagentry of the Season, and the elaborate wardrobe it required. Most of all, I loved Ariana Forsythe and her earnest desire to seek God's will, even when she finds herself falling in love with a man who seems a questionable match. Bravo to Ms. Burkard for this charming novel. I'm looking forward to her next book, The House in Grosvenor Square, which just released this month. | 7,108 |
1 | A brilliant Hi8 camera | This camera is the 2nd best Hi8 camera from Sony. Its simplistic to use and has some cool features and effects. The picture quality and sterio sound are superb for play back on TV and PC. The 80x zoom is alsi very powerful. The photo-still facility is weak but thats to be expected on Camcorders. However the brilliant nightshot and built in lamp make for a good Blair Witch Project if you ever fancy that. I have used it for about 2 months now and haven't really used needed to use the effects but the picture quality and sound make this a top camera (I can hardly notice the difference from my brothers digital camera). Make sure you get another battery as with the LCD on it lasts about 90 mins and uses good quality hi 8 tapes to get the best out of it. You wont be dissopointed. | 47,266 |
1 | great! | Nessaja is really cool. if u have heard Ramp! (The Logical Song) and liked it then i can gurantee this u'll love Nessaja. once again it has the pitched voice. this single will get u dancin in no time.p.s. shortbread is a kinda slow, relaxing song, with no singing. but i still like it | 5,545 |
1 | Insightful | A quick read which will make you ponder what you eat from now on. Mr. Critser has bite (no pun intended) on how and why we are what we are. From fast food, the media, religion, and music we are a jumble and perhaps no end in sight(?).Thank you Mr. Critser. | 29,568 |
1 | nice headphones | I bought the head phones so I could watch movies w/out waking the family up. They sound great. There was a little bit of hissing, but after ajusting the different volume controls, you can tweak the sound perfectly. they also came w/an adaptor for different size outputs. I would recomend them. I also got them fairly fast. | 4,871 |
0 | Only for complete beginners. | This is a very good starting place for anyone who is an ABSOLUTE beginner. If you have even a bit of coordination or have dabbled in Pilates or Yoga this dvd will be too slow for you.While the instruction on the poses is good, the progression is very slow and you'll feel like you're lying around waiting for your workout to begin.The second part of this series (Intermediate Mat Workout) is an excellent workout and the instruction in the dvd is clear enough even if you haven't done this one first.If your remotely fit and coordinated, I would recommend skipping directly to the second offering in this series. | 2,980 |
