| Cooking 1 2 3 Five hundered fabulous three-ingredient recip | Wow,what a gold-mine! Rozanne Gold is a genius and genie when it comes to flavors. I'd recommend this book to aspiring chefs to understand flavor systems as well as home cooks who want a little sophistication in their menus. This is NOT open a can or box and dump cooking---far from it. This is a collection of recipes developed over nearly a decade by a chef who looks at minimalism just as an artist or poet does. My favorite recipes are cornish hen under a brick,wine dark short ribs, and chocolate truffle torte. But with 500 recipes I'll bet I'll find more. She even makes turnips sound good. |

| An explosive album with great songs for dancing and relaxing | If you need an album to get you through a day or year this is the one to buy. It has songs for every single mood you are in. First track Hanging By A Moment is one great example where you are on top of the world (It was also the most played song in 2001) It also has songs for those of us in love "Breathing", "Somewhere in Between" and Everything" also songs for those of us that feel lost and alone "Simon" and "Quasimodo" the entire album is great. If you are only able to buy two cd's this year and you don't already have this one. Buy two copies because you will wear them out!!!Emily |

| It's ok | Put in the 1982 remake. Fast forward through some of the plot and any scene where they show any type of scientific or intellectual prowess. Also, you should pause the scenes with the thing then alternate between staring at it and watching tom and jerry cartoons. There you have it! |

| No way | I got this CD for a present, and it is anything but shouting and it is absolutely gross. You can't compare this thing with Britney or Kylie Minogue. They have no sense of what's cool. The songs are horrible and it doesn't deserve 1 star. Why don't you put an -5 star option? Don't buy this album, or you are a money waster. Don't even try it out. Or you wanna hear the screams of silly cows with stupid lyrics? |

| don't buy | I would advise you not buy this cd. I made the mistake in doing so, and most of the other reviews are saying this is their best and most punk cd yet. Although they said that the new cd was going to be faster and more punk, it isnt at all, all the songs sound the same, and the lyrics are terrible. In about every song they swear, and it is not needed and makes the music sound as though it was made for 10-13 year olds who think its really cool to swear and hear swearing. Given that they had 2 years pretty much to make this, I think they couldve made it better musically to be able to distinquish the songs, and better lyrically atleast to make up for the lack of musical talent. There are really only three stand out songs that took them more than 10 minutes to write probably, and those are Anthem Part 2, Stay Together For The Kids and Please Take Me Home. Blink has definitly sold out, and now are trying to even more it seems by only entertaining the 10 year old audience. |

| superb guide to cuban rhythms - INCLUDES CD | I agree with everyone who loves this book, which combines the historical scholarship of Fernando Ortiz with careful transcriptions of New York-based bata drummers, including Jesus Perez, Julio Collazo, and Puntilla.This book is all rhythms, marvelous if you are a drummer or other musician, do not get this if you are looking for a history of santeria.This book DOES include the CD, which is indispensable for learning the rhythms. There is only one ISBN for the BOOK/CD set, which is 0-941677-70-2. If your copy doesn't contain the CD, return it for one that does, and do NOT buy the CD from dealers who try to sell it separately for as much as $200 on Amazon marketplace and elsewhere.Happy drumming! |

| Bounces off the surface | This book seems as if the author hasn't seen Linux in 3 years. Though it covers a lot of topics, it doesn't really go in depth on any of them. The networking chapter isn't too bad, but the X Windows section is definately dated. I wouldn't recommend this unless a user just wantes to find out what Linux is. Definately not the best Linux book avalible. I had to have a friend translate part of it from German just to understand how Modules are controled. |

| A very Confusing second concert by Josh Groban | I remember in the early stages of Josh Groban's career there were lots of comments about his singing style...whether it was Pop or Classical. What I and millions of others loved was that it was both, wrapped up in a gorgeous package and performed beautifully. Now we have the Greek but in such a confusing mix that it leaves me asking HUH?? This concert has Pop and Classical styled songs, sung in a rock-pop-classical-alternative music mix. We have a rock drum solo, flashing overhead lights, audience viewpoints with twirling glow sticks, moving backgrounds. So much of everything!! That wouldn't even be a blip on the radar if it weren't for Josh's voice too. It's good, poor, great, nasal, good, great, good. By the end of the concert I was so darned confused I was exhausted. Of course I was disappointed too. |

| OK WHAT THE HELL | Ok, calling all fans of Blink 182. They have just made the worst album of theirs ever. it is especially disappointing because enema of the state was such a good album. it had surpassed cheshire cat and dude ranch by far, and they were awesome. so when i got this cd, i was shaking with anticipation. then when i popped it in, the first five songs seemed decent, although not very thrilling. and then it slowly digressed, to the point where i was getting a headache from the terrible music erupting from my speakers. they do have a few good songs on here, but don't expect much more. i say don't waste your money and wait for the hits to come out on some hits collection cd. |

| I wanted to like this album. | I really tried to like this album, but could not get over the feeling that I was reading my 8th grade brother's diary about his trip to California. The entire lyrical content can be summed up by the words sun, California, LA, and Boston. There is nothing new or interesting here, don't waste your money. |

| The Room is the new Plan 9 from Outer Space | I had never heard of this particular piece of dreck until I went over to Rifftrax,and watched a bit of it,with my beloved riffers doing their thing.So I bought it,and loaded it up in my Rifftrax player,downloaded the riffing,and synched it with the movie.The result? Without the guys(Mike,Bill and Kevin) riffing on it,it would have been unbearably crappy.They made it worthwhile to sit through.Their riffs are a stitch.The "acting" is non-existant. The "sets" are totally cheesy. The"dialogue" fluctuates between howlingly funny(not supposed to be)and too muddled to understand.All-in-all...a terrible movie.Not terrible in the sense Plan 9 was,because there was some unintentional comedy in that one.This one just stinks,in my opinion.Made bearable only because of Mike,Bill,and Kevin. |

| Pointless | What is Blink 182 doing?? I can't undrestand how a band like this with nothing, I mean NOTHING to say is selling millions of albums. First of all this is no Punk at all, this is trash-pop, if you really want to hear punk pick up a Sex Pistols record, not this nonsense teenage .... . |

| After a while it leaks, but give them a chance to make it right. | This coffeemaker's design is flawed. But my customer service experience on complaining about it was the best I've received from any company in years. They sent their new thermal carafe model, which appears to have the design flaw with the filter carrier taken care of. Give them a chance to make it right. Customer service is part of the equation with any purchase, and Mr. Coffee/Sunbeam has impressed me on that score. |

| This book is not for every one. | Before anyone reads this, I have a confession to make. I'm thirteen, male, considered intelligent, and my favorite genres are Sci-fi and Fantasy.The concept is intrigiuing. Unfortunately, the author doesn't expand beyond the "Boys look for father, find themselves..." idea. This severly limits the plot progression and character development.The excessive description was taken one step too far, detracting instead of adding to the story. If the books are plants, and description is water, Cynthia Voigt's neighborhood is now a lake. Case in point: There are more than four full paragraphs describing one character's musings about flea eyes.The truth is, I felt very little desire to complete the book...... until I remembered that a major part of my grade depended on it. Even though I resented reading it, others may find it to be one of their favorite books. Everyone has different tastes. |

| Two Thumbs up for No Name Face | Is there anything left to say that the previous 290+ reviewers haven't said yet? The debut effort from Lifehouse is extraordinary especially since I'm an eighties music fan... .What a relief that Lifehouse shows such promise and produced a compilation of amazing energetic songs(Hanging By A Moment and Sick Cycle Carousel) to the soulful ballads(Everything and Somewhere in Between). The incredibly gifted Jason Wade exudes tremendous maturity for his age with his inspiring lyrics . . . just listen to Everything and in his words - "how can you not be moved" as you become enraptured by the powerful words and music.This cd definitely rates a 10!!! |

| Does not compare to THE THING 1982 | Not a very good prequel as some have stated. Other then the being, the end, and the Norwegian guys, it is so much like the original you may think you're watching a poorly done remake. You may give it a chance if you want to waste 3.99 as I did, but it was a waste of money for me. The Thing (1982) with Kurt Russell is awesome, this movie is eh. This movie does have up-to-date special FX, but it doesn't improve the movie at all. All I can say about the FX is "Big whoop!" (80s joke for us middle aged folks). I'll take Kurt Russell any day, these actors, who ever they are, do not do this movie justice. I'm not sure if any of them would do any movie justice. I wanted to like it, but I didn't. NEXT!!! |

| A Friend Made Me Read This Book. We're No Longer Friends! | I can't explain it. I've probably read close to 1,000 books in my life. And I've never found a book as difficult to complete as this one. (And I always finish a book once I've started it.) It's not that I disliked every element of the book. Some of the battle scenes were very well done. But I found the rest of the book to be a real struggle. Maybe I had a hard time rooting for "the other side." My friend was very disappointed because this is one of his favorite novels. I know that he would give it 5 stars. |

| One of the most amazing books I've ever read. | If you're an intellectual and want to read a book that will change your perception of many facets of the world forever, this is the book for you. It's not a long read, but you will spend a lot of time thinking about all its implications as you read it. I found it applicable to everything from inviting people to parties, to business and personal relationships, to species competition, to wondering whether a theoretical race of super-powerful extraterrestrials would enslave us, to... Well, you just have to check it out!I'm reading the sequel ("The Complexity of Cooperation") right now, which is also amazing. In it he quotes a letter written to him about EoC by a woman who claims that the principle developed in it helped her with her divorce proceedings! How can you miss a book with such broad applications. |

| The Greek bears no resemblance | to anything Josh Groban has ever done. I have both concert DVD's and the Greek is absolutely inferior to any CD, DVD or personal appearance he has made. Josh Groban's voice is poor and nasal in enough songs for me to give this rating without a second thought. With his first concert, Groban's voice was marvelous! The sets were beautiful and visually stunning. In the "Greek" we get none of it. While I don't expect perfection, I do expect a concert I can enjoy without shuddering at a nasaly performer. |

| Package say's format 16:9 - concert is shot in 4:3 | Email sent to eaglevision.I wish to return the DVD Ted Nugent - Sweden Rocks. The title has been opened, so I'm unable to return it to the retailer (Best Buy). I have kept my receipt. Item purchased yesterday.Reason for return - package say's 16:9 screen format. This concert was shot in 4:3. Online web links said 16:9 format, not true. |

| Great Find | I had been looking for some bookshelf speakers for a while when I stumbled across these Fluance SX6s. I had never heard of Fluance before, but after reading the positive reviews I decided to roll the dice. First, the packing was great. No way these were getting damaged in the shipping process. Equally awesome is the lifetime guarantee that comes with them. Speakers are the right size and weight for a bench set up. Still breaking them in, but like what I'm hearing so far. And for under $100 I'm definitely a fan! |

| their worst cd | im a huge blink 182 fan, and this just might be their worst cd ever. second to a good charlotte cd of mine, this by far the worst album i own. do not buy this cd. the only good song is "online songs," and its not worth the $15 or whatever it is. |

| Nice but Broke | It was a nice watch and I really liked it when I first got it. I set the time and put it on. The next morning when I woke up I discovered that the "set" button had fallen off at some point. Without it you can't set the time or the alarm, so I returned it. |

| The Room, a masterpiece | The first time i saw The Room, i was a silly college freshmen looking for a crowd in the dorms. low and behold, a fellow student attracts a gathering in the movie area, where he triumphantly makes The Room the movie of the night. How thrilling, exciting, and devious this movie was. Since then, i have seen it a plenty, and came to buying my own copy out of pure love for this film. |

| Incredible debut album! | I have owned this CD for a few months now, and now I am finally getting around to writing a review to let people know how awesome this CD is! All the songs are good, and it is an incredible first effort. I cannot wait to see what this band comes out with next. I have read a few of the other reviews, and no one seems to give the last song, "Everything," the recognition it deserves. It is by far the most beautiful song on the album. I have to listen to it at least once a day! I would highly recommend this CD to anyone, it is an incredible CD. Good work, Lifehouse!! |

| Oooooh. This is painful | Josh Groban's Greek concert was painful to watch and even more painful to hear. I taped his PBS concert from the first showing but couldn't watch it through. I watched it later thinking it was just me and it would sound better. Sad for me, Josh didn't sound better. He didn't even look good either. |

| Great potential lost. | The special effects were well done and scary but the problem I had was the fact that the "alien" was intelligent enough to carry on a conversation, and even operate a freakin spaceship, yet it continued to act more like a wild tiger hiding and hunting!W.T.F.?We are a smarter audience and we deserve better. This movie does have its "entertainment" value but there was a much more interesting story that could've came of this and we didn't get it! It seemed geared toward, shall we say, a teenage audience. This movie is a poor follow-up to the original (circa 1980's). |

| I LOVED IT!!!! But... | I found the book to be a great piece of work, almost poetic writing and pilosophy/psychology inlaid within the pages.But if you are looking for a very fast paced, horrifying, Salem's Lot type novel, then slowly back away from the computer. The book is very slow in pace, very emotional and dramatic about EVERYTHING ( which I personally love, but which others could find terribly boring). If you are looking for a Vampire novel with a more...tangible (for lack of better word) plot, then I suggest checking out Laurell K Hamilton or Christopher Pike, and some of the YA authors like Amelia Atwater-rhodes or Vivian Vande Velde. And if your looking for a vampire novel to just scare the hell outta ya, then it's always nice to go with Stephen Kings "Salem's Lot." |

| Disappointing | I have been a true fan of the Mitford books, always eagerly reading the newest installment. However, In This Mountain, was a real disappointment in Jan Karon's otherwise delightful series.The storyline was disappointing, the characters weren't as interesting, and Father Tim's depression was way too drawn out. The lengthy religious aspects of the book made it feel as if I was reading a theology book instead of a book for pleasure. I will stick with the seies in the hopes that the next book will move back to Jan Karon's usual excellent work. |

| 10 yrs later, Lava Buns still going strong | Bought my first set of Lava Buns 10-plus years ago for watching night soccer games, in winter, on metal grandstands, and stopped freezing my tail off. Then there was the pulled back muscles --- heating one for a little less time and lying on it without its cover provided such relief and comfort.Now they've turned into bed warmers on cold winter nights.You don't know how happy I am to find them--to learn they're still being made. Gifts for my friends! Gifts for my children! for me!I am in love with lava buns.You might have guessed that. |

| Is This It? No. | Tedious, repetitive, a headache. "Hate To Say I Told You So" is the only (barely) listenable track here. If you want Detroit punk, pick up "The Day Met The..." by Rocket From The Tombs. Cleveland is a hell of a lot closer than Sweden. |

| GREAT lubricant | After the birth of our second child, my wife began to notice some discomfort when we would "fool around". After looking up the best of the best and reading the reviews, I decided to get this. It lasts a long time without getting sticky and it doesn't feel like there is a barrier. Also, it seems to clean up nicely after use. We are extremely happy and will continue to purchase this product as needed. |

For whatever reason we suffered through it for another couple of years before finally calling two different plumbers. They both concluded the problem was in he main housing which they couldn't fix.

| Price does not = Quality | I am tired of purchasing cheaply made items so I decided to buy this more expensive phone (relatively speaking). It lasted me one year. Not only that, the handset sits in a cradle that is so weak that a simple knock or tug on the cord, slides it off. I wish somebody would start to make a quality product. Here's a telephone that after one year, has become landfill. The last phone I purchased, 30 years ago, still works. |

| Hard to Take | I tried to read this book twice thinking that the first time I didn't give it a chance. I couldn't read anymore after the second decision. It's poorly written and there is nothing revolutionary about it. It's the same old self-help stuff regurgitated and the storyline is even worse. I feel cheated that I paid $1.29 for it at the thrift store. |

| Clever, kooky, high-energy pseudo-French indierock | If the Bay City Rollers had been French instead of Scottish, and fell into the thrall of some dadaist garage rock scene run by Esperanto cultists... Well, they might have sounded a bit like this gleefully tounge-in-cheek "French" rock band from Los Angeles, who giddily skip from rock genre to rock genre as easily and breezily as they slide between languages. Cracking jokes in pidgin French, broken English, and whatever random syllables seem to be laying around at hand, these folks make no sense, but they sure have fun. The crunchier guitar riffs may be a little hard-rocking for your average frog-pop fans, but folks who liked April March's collaborations with The Makers may find kindred spirits here. I haven't seen them live, but I imagine they are a lot of fun. |

| Voice Issues Mar the "Greek" | I was very happy to buy Josh Groban's second concert "Live at the Greek," even though I did not see it on PBS first. However, when I watched the concert I felt so disheartened by Groban's performance I couldn't believe it was the same man! In "Mi Mancherai" I immediately heard a nasaly strain in his voice. Disappointing because it's one of the more lovely songs on "Closer." Speaking of "Closer" where was it? There's only a handful from that CD and too many of previous CD's that had already been done on the first concert. Everything about the "Greek" is sloppily done as though the filming was an afterthought. One thing I know for sure. After buying the "Greek", I won't be buying a ticket for the concert when it comes to my city. Another thing: I'll never buy another Josh Groban CD without checking it out first. |

| I should have listened to the reviews... | I should have listened when I saw that this got poor reviews, but I thought the watch looked like one I had owned previously without problems so I went ahead and ordered it anyway. I have to say I have been extremely disappointed. Within a week, the top layer on what is supposed to be a leather band had completely peeled off of half the watch. I love the look, but the quality is terrible. Definitely look for something else. |

| A great prelude of things to come.... | I saw the first thing back when it hit theaters, and it scared me half to death! When my son came to me and said that a new movie was on it's way, I was skeptical about a remake of a beloved sci-fi picture. I finally got the nerve to watch this movie and was pleasantly suprised to find out that it was not a remake, BUT A PREQUEL! For years, my friends and I always had wandered what had happened at the Norweigan camp MaCready mistakens for a Swedish camp. The utter destruction and awe of it back in 1982 are fully explained in this thrilling prequel which depicts the actual uncovering of the Thing, it's escape, and the all too familiar paranoia and suspense that made the first one wonderful! The actors and actresses do a great job in their roles and the thing scared me just as much as it did when i was in that old movie theater. I am relieved this movie was made, it is a treat for fans of the original and to newcomers of true sci-fi lore. |

| To Slow for Me | I am rating this book on my likes and dislikes; not on the way the book was written. I feel odd rating this book no more than a 2 with all the 4s and 5s it has received. But, I did not enjoy reading the book. The story seemed to drag on and on going nowhere. I could predict every move that was made in the story. There were no surprises. I guess it just wasn't my type of reading. Others seemed to have loved it. |

| cheap lid | I've been a loyal Brita pitcher owner for years and years. We bought this new one and after only a few days the spout lid broke off. After another week the middle of the lid snapped off. Now the whole rest of the lid won't stay on and there is nothing on top at all. We paid over $30 and I am NOT happy at all... Plus my kids can't stand the black specks from the filter. Might be time to change our filter system. |

| 5 stars for the book, 3 stars for the Kindle Edition | The book is fantastic, but it's a bit of a rip-off to pay $4.95 for a kindle edition that hasn't even been edited. A search for Progress and Poverty would quickly reveal free html and epub editions of this book that you could convert to kindle format, giving you the same typos that are in this paid kindle edition. Just from the kindle sample you can see "6100,000" when it should be "$100,000." In addition to html and epub formats, the Online Library of Liberty has both scanned and OCR'd text PDFs of the book. I would avoid this kindle edition and get one of the free editions elsewhere. |

| No help for a difficult subject | This book was a nightmare to understand. It seems to be written like the science texts of the 1950's. Generally, the text was vague in explanation of concepts. The examples were not helpful when attempting to do the problems at the end of the chapters. The student solutions manual did not thoroughly solve the problems, many steps were skipped, the answers in the back were more helpful. I would recommend staying far away from this book. My advice for the next edition would be start from scratch. |

| Only covers huge structures... not much here for small builders... | The picture on the front cover says it all - this book might be useful if you are designing or making large Bamboo structures but it gives no advice about using Bamboo to make a real house to live in.It's not a "How to" book - I can't recommend it. |

| junk | I bought two through Amazon in April. One died in 15 days the other in 90 days. This phone is junk. Before total failure the phones were sub-standard: inaudible speaker phone, bad RJ-11 jack (loose), talking caller ID cannot be understood, and even the cradle is poorly designed (requires precise placement just to hang-up). In short: all bad -- keep looking.PS -- No way to assign zero stars hence the one star. |

| HO HUM | Book by book Clancy is slipping away from the "soul grabbing" action style of "The Hunt for Red October". Rather than being called a "techno thriller", it should be labelled a "red tape sleeper". The charactors are well designed but,we spend too much time listening to phone calls and reading E-mails. I look forward to the return of the "old" Tom Clancy. |

| More, please. | While I love Jean Thompson's short stories ... being able to sink my teeth into this delicious hunk of a novel was even more satisfying.

| Josh Groban, Live at the Greek | I watched Josh Groban's concert on PBS and taped it to watch again afterward. What happened? Josh seemed to think we would prefer someone different and different he is! With a Rock, Pop, Alternative, Classical mix that didn't seem to work, Josh belted out his vocals with lots of rock star attitude. That's unfortunate because the one thing that set Josh apart from anyone else on the planet, his gorgeous VOICE, wasn't profiled. Josh Groban the "performer," with popping overhead lights and things projected on a huge background screen were annoying distractions. Lucia Micarelli was beautiful and performed perfectly, a reminder of what Josh Groban used to be. He sounds good in a few songs but not so in others. I won't be buying this concert. Hopefully whatever he does next will focus on his voice and leave out the circus. |

| The best | This cd is was better than any of his others I have to say. I bump this cd when I work out and when I get back from Iraq I will definitely bump it in my truck. One of my favs hands down. If you like gangsta music or music you ride to this is the cd for you I promise. Young Buck came hard on this one. |

| Dis like the new Doctor | David Tenant was the best Doctor by far. Replacing him was a huge mistake...I was entertained by the new Doctor and his companion, but I still miss David Tenatn. I will give it one more season to see if he can turn it around... but my hope's are fading fast. |

| Drivell!! | I have to say, and this will be a short review, this will appeal to those of you who love the current rash of remakes and CGI driven horror films. This film has no soul like the first. We were spoiled by a stellar cast, master director, master musician and master of FX, Rob Bottin. Here we have, well, a CGI creature, that we see too often, too clearly, and wouldn't look out of place on your PS3 game. Overall forgettable.The current movie chart is a lot like the music chart, almost everything is much of a muchness, z-list celebs and poorly executed productions. This is no different. |

| Universal Studios Sucks | I believe that no one has mentioned the six minutes of previews you have to wade through before getting to the menu. Also, if you have an Internet connection, you get nice pop up ads on the main menu for other Universal offerings. After paying 24 dollars for this thing, you would expect it to be ad free. Oh no, not Universal. They are going to pad this thing with as much advertising as possible.On to the movie. It was boring. There was no suspense or innovation. Nothing new at all. If you are going to make a prequel, or sequel, to a successful movie, it has to have something to make it stand on it's own. This movie does not have that. It is nothing more than a rehash of a better movie made 30 years ago with less money. I give the movie 2 stars and no stars for Universal and their bean counters. |

| One of my favorite CD's! | A lot of people dismiss Blink-182 as sellouts. Well, they obviously haven't listened to Take off Your Pants and Jacket, the groups best and most punk CD to date. All of these distortion filled punchy punk tracks are the perfect thing to put in your stereo and blast until your neighbors yell at you. Not only are they loud and fast, but if you listen to the lyrics you can see what great songwriters they all are. I have to say my favorite track is "Reckless Abandon", an amazing song about parties and summer. To anyone who loves punk music, get this CD now! |

| What good is it | When I purchased this item I thought it would come with a charging wire or stand. All I received was the ipod. Without the charging wire- I can not charge the unit or conect it to my computer to download itunes. Therefore, it is worthless. I have it in the junk drawer now. |

| Bad plot, so-so acting | "On The Line" turns out to be another neer-do-well romantic comedy, such as Sarah Michelle Gellar's nauseating performance in "Simply Irresistable" and the basic brainless fluff that "Serendipity" basically was.I'll give the movie credit for some things. One, Joey Fatone and Lance Bass (from the Grammy-nominted 'N Sync band) can act reasonably well. Second is the fluffernutter happy ending that usualy accompanies such films as these. But the plot suffers from major cliches and is just a basic recycling of the long line of romantic comedies before it.An Chicago ad salesman (Bass) is shy around girls and don't know how to meet them, along with his brainless friend (Fatone). Then, he meets Miss Right, and the usual chaos happens."On The Line" isn't that bad because Bass and Fatone can act well, for the major part of the film. But, it's predictable, brainless, and just plain corny. If "On The Line" had an original plot, it would have fared better.But it didn't. Too bad. |

| Why? | I dont usually write reviews but I had just had to shout about how bad this movie is,there is just no point to it,all it does is try & explain what happened at the norwegian camp that we saw in the 1982 version,why? as you watch the 1982 version unfold you realise that what is happening is what happened at the norwegian camp,that was the idea,that being said I sat back half expecting to be at least mildly entertained but no chance,all the tension & genuinely creepiness of john carpenters classic is just not here,there was nothing original & it was just plain boring,if the 1982 version never exsisted this movie would be on the sci fi channel. I saw a couple of people say that they always wanted to know how the axe had come to be where it was,are you kidding me? talking like it was a true story,jeez.I just cant believe how so many people rated this 5 stars,im actually quite envious of those people,wish I was that easily pleased,this movie is terrible,plain & simple,avoid at all costs. |

| Lifehouse rocks. | I bought No Name Face in June 2001.I haven't stopped listening to it.I bought it having heard only "Hanging By A Moment" on the radio. I expected to like about five songs off of it - I certainly didn't expect to become a crazy Lifehouse fan like I am today.All the songs are gorgeous, but by far the one that stands out the most would definitely be "Everything." It's the most beautiful song I've ever heard. It absolutely moves me. Close behind it are "Breathing", "Somewhere In Between" and "Only One." I'd have to say my favorite is "Everything", because it's just so beautiful.I've noticed people compare Lifehouse to Creed, and I think it's pretty close. (Only thing is, Lifehouse is way better in my eyes.) Lifehouse's songs have spiritual meaning in them, which I think is great - whether you're Christian or not you can enjoy their beautiful lyrics.It's certainly not a waste of your time and money. If you've been questioning buying NNF, DON'T QUESTION ANYMORE! GO BUY IT! |

| The Runs - Dia Ria Vicious | I'll tell you what sh@t for brains giving ***** to this horsecrap of a band called the hives - take your dog sh*t band back to whatever country you came from and shove Veni Vidi Vicious right up your wazoo you coward that cant make decisions for yourself. Horrible, mainstream, designed by marketing guy, developed by Fox Networks, total a**hole of a sellout society, thats all I have to say, other than learn to swim. |

| Greatest Moments: A Refreshing Surprise | I would have given it 5 stars but the background music actually interfered with the artists' renditions and the backup singer in "Natural Woman" really detracted from Kelly's amazing voice. I think all of these kids will be heard from and Nikki with her beautiful face, figure, and stage presence would make a good TV personality. I want to wish all the gang the best of luck in their endeavors. I followed their journey from day one and shed a lttle tear as each one was eliminated; but as Simon said "America got it right" and Kelly was crowned American Idol! |

| Outdated touchy-feely | I'm aghast that this is still around after all this time. It was out-of-date when it was produced and it still is.Possibly the only value this item has is for its historical interest of 1970s era self-help and 1960s era holistic psychobabble that was the forerunner of the 1980s "inner" malarkey that passed for socio-communication theory.No author should still be making money on something like this. |

| BUMMER | Worst than Carpenters. It just doesn't make any sense. Its not scary, no character developement. I don't get the good reviews. Frankly, I think the original Howard Hawks production has far more tension than either of the recent THINGs.I'm just sayin |

| Great for controlling oily skin | I moved to NY from Scotland during the summer months. My skin had a really hard time dealing with the humidity and the pollution - not something I'd had to deal with before. I've never had the best skin; it's always been oily and I suffer from blackheads and large-ish pores. Arriving in NY my skin became so oily it was disgusting and lots of tiny little spots started forming across my forehead. I now use this once or twice a week for just a few mins at a time and then follow with a benzoyl peroxide cream at night, which I use most nights and a light oil free moisturiser. All these three things combined have really helped the oil control, my skin is nowhere near as greasy, I've less black heads and my pores are definitely smaller. Buy it! |

| This deserves no stars | Wow. This is bad. Real bad. You have to try to [be terrible] this much.This is pretty much the opposite of what punk is. If you want punk, I reccomend you avoid all epitaph records bands and listen to GOVERNMENT ISSUE, YOUTH BRIGADE, DILLINGER FOUR, or CRASS for starters and stop listening to the swill that gets played on MTV.And to the kid that said that they were tired of the skater kids saying this is bad, blink are skaters, and they skate about as well as they play punk. Not very well.MTV get off the air. |

| An excellent debut from musicians who know their craft | OK, I start with an admission - I've never been a country music or blue grass fan. And it was only by chance that I came accross OCMS when watching the TV highlights from the Cambridge Folk Festival. They showed an accoustic set from OCMS with their track "Wagon Wheel". I was captivated! I can't quite put my finger on why - I guess it was a combination of their superb musicianship, tight harmonies, unbridled energy and rawness which just touched a nerve and left me desperate for more. I immediately looked them up on the web, found their album and bought it - on the strength of just one song I'd heard, once! I have not been disappointed - the album is a real gem. It has a great mix of tunes ranging from the foot-stomping up-tempo to the thoughtful & soulful. Whether you're a country music fan or not, BUY THIS ALBUM - you won't be disappointed! |

| LIVE IN COPENHAGEN 1972 | The sound quality is a bit off but if you'r a Mc Leaniac, help yourself. This is not a bootleg. It did come out on LP stateside in the late 70's. The tracks run long. Apparently only 2 of them were on the LP, 1 on each side. Parker's Mood runs the longest at 19 min, complete with bass solo. A bit tedious but bearable. Kenny Drew leads the rhythm section. |

| Oh Dear God | You know what? People who like all this retro mod [stuff] (which is NOT punk, not at all) should all drive off the same cliff with the rap-metal fans and the pop fans. ARGH . . . every year since about 1993, I've said to myself, "No, THIS is the worst year to be a music fan." I'm proven wrong YET AGAIN this year. It's a damn good thing there are actually still one or two bands out there making actual music. This, however, is NOT one of those bands. It is blasphemy to even compare this pile of ... with MC5, it's not even close. MC5 is a classic band, untouchable in the annals of history. Is this an [inexpensive] Rolling Stones knockoff? Why, yes, yes, it is, and a bad [inexpensive] knock off at that. I don't even like the Stones and I feel sorry for them right now.In summary, there's never been a better time to blow up your radio. |

| Tom Clancy Obviously did not write this one! | I agree with the others who panned this. It is full of obvious errors, and they show the gross ignorance of the author. The one that got me and sticks is his description of the men in the Sampan using the oars to get close to the yacht. They 'oared' there. Oared is not a word. When men use oars to move a ship, boat, or any floating vessel, the term used to move it is ROW. You row a boat, you use 10 foot oars in a viking ship to ROW the ship. One paddles a canoe, but one does not OAR a boat. Obviously this book was thrown together in as short a time as possible, given minimal proof reading, and then published. Tom Clancy should be ashamed to have his name put on it. |

| Tit-for-tat ! | Great read. Principles can be applied to all areas of your life, especially in business. The book mathematically proves the concept that by cooperating with others both parties will be better off in the long run. |

| super | It truly is a 3 second installation. They're cheap, easy, and do what they say they do. They function to prevent a window from being slid open too far. I have a toddler and this is a great easy solution to help improve our home safety. It would take all of 3 seconds to remove it in the event of an emergency, that required us to exit through the window. |
