“Greatest novel ever” If you’re one of those people (like me) who like to see it as a movie, fine…go see the movie, but afterwards READ THE BOOK! It was hard for me to put it down once I started.
If you haven’t seen the movie, then good for you! Just buy it and let [...]
Watchmen
The Velvet Underground
“uncomparable to their other great album,though just as great” the velvet underground, in my opinion, were most together in their first 3 albums. their second, however(White Light/White Heat) is missing a spark that the other greats have. that leaves two, The Velvet Underground and Nico, and The Velvet Underground as the velvet’s best.1. this [...]
Babylon 5 – The Complete Fifth Season
“Doesn’t satisfy “ I love Babylon 5 (heck I even loved Legend of the Rangers) and hence I am willing to cut the show a lot of slack, however I cannot do that with season 5. Its not the storyline that I have a problem with it is the characterization of two of [...]
Star Trek: Memories [VHS]
“YOU LEFT OUT THE ACTORS” You would expect a Star Trek memoir written by a cast member, especially the eternally energetic William Shatner, James Kirk, himself, to offer new insight into the early days of the Trek series. You’ll probably be disappointed with this book if you have such expectations.
What Shatner sets out to [...]
Taken
“Good, but a wasted opportunity” I was completely taken by surprise at just how blown away I was by the Soundtrack to Taken (a pretty impressive feat when the visuals and story line are so attention grabbing already). I wanted to experience more of the soundtrack and was disapointed to find that there was [...]
School Daze
“One of Lee’s Best” I once heard on a TV talk show that you don’t have to be a parent to know about kids. This was uttered by a single female with tons of doctorate credentials. As I listened, having kids of my own, I found her comments clinical and devoid of [...]
Harem (CD & DVD)
“Harem A Forbidden Folly” Sorry Sarah, You didn’t make a hit with me on this endeavor. The tracks were over-engineered and were too similiar in tempo and instrumentation(a la driving bass disco).Sarah’s vocals did not do her justice. Breathy and “little-girl” style just didn’t hit the mark of excellence I expect from Sarah. Such [...]
Camp
“Great Fun, Super-Talented Teens and Outstanding Songs” I understand why some reviewers of this winning movie find it a little angsty and melodramatic – because it is. But for those who remember adolescence, everything is angsty and melodramatic – it’s a time of operatic emotions and overblown reactions. It’s a time when you think [...]
The Case for Christ: A Journalist’s Personal Investigation of the Evidence for Jesus
“Should be called the mistake for christ…” This is a horribly written book, with contradictions within chapters, and no fact checking done.
Take these two quotes from chapter three:
“And this is something else that favors the New Testament. We have copies commencing within a couple of generations of the originals, whereas in the case [...]
Warriors: Power of Three #3: Outcast
“Outcast (Warriors : Power of Three, Book 3)” I absolutely love this book. My favorite book right now. It is so weird that they go back to the Tribe of Rushing Water.
The Express
“The EXPRESS” An exceptional story of America’s first black recipient of the nation’s highest college football honor–The Hesiman Trophy. The movie is a period film and not a documentary–such that its facts are altered to provide the viewer with a sense of the times—with discrimination the issue of the day. The EXPRESS will become [...]
Rise of the Evening Star (Fablehaven)
“This one’s a keeper!!” The moment that I finished reading the first Fablehaven book, I went online and ordered this one. My husband and I both loved the book, and couldn’t wait for the third one to come out. I don’t know what more to say than the other reviewers have already [...]
Therm-a-Rest Trail Lite
“very comfortable pad” just got back from 3 nights camping. I never used a Therma-Rest before. This pad was very comfortable woke up each day with no pain or uncomfortable-ness. I must need a new home mattress because this was more comfortable than my bed- huh? Also bought the camping pillow [...]
Dolica AX620B100 62-Inch Proline Tripod and Ball Head
“Great Great Great tripod but I got one HUGE problem with this!” I received this from Brainstorm Corp. within 2 business days of ordering. I ordered this after seeing all the reviews on amazon, newegg etc. and they were mostly 5 on 5 or 4 on 5. I was MAJORLY thrilled to receive this [...]
Stone of Tears (Sword of Truth, Book 2)
” Stone of Tears (Sword of Truth, Book 2) “ This book is even better than Wizard’s First Rule (Sword of Truth, Book 1)a real page turner.
Premier Twist and Treat, Small
“not for chewers-don’t waste your money!” I love the concept of this. I thought I would try this for my 8 month old 80 pound Cane Corso since she destroyed her molecule that was interactive. Big mistake. I put peanut butter inside which kept her busy for a few minutes. When she was done [...]
Kidde KL-2S 13-Foot, Two-Story Fire Escape Ladder with Anti-Slip Rungs
“Life Safety” As a firefighter, I strongly reccomend escape ladders to people who live on or above the second floor. If a fire starts at night on the first floor smoke detectors on the second or third floors may or may not activate and wake up building occupants before superheated gasses and fire [...]
Simon Schama’s Power of Art
“Inside art” I saw this on television and ordered it for my daughter, an art major.
In addition to the probing insights into the mind and life of each artist, and the analyses of the works of each, the photography and visual montages are a work of art themselves.
Ultralast UL-NB2L Canon NB-2L Equivalent Camcorder/Digital Camera Battery
“Great second battery” The battery last about the same as the one that came with my G9 for a fraction of the cost. Not sure about long term use though. But for the price, I can just get another one if it dies; hopefully not too soon.
Lavazza Crema e Aroma Coffee Beans, 2.2-Pound Bag
“Coffee WOW” Had this coffee in Italy last summer and loved it. So glad I can get it here, so smooth and the crema is wonderfull.
