HOW OLD ARE YOU?[フォーヴィスム]のリアルな口コミ・評判・効果まとめ

I ordered this one just for the charger. I didn't know any better. If you are new to vaping like me, skip all this old "eGo" products. Clearomizer with this one is obviously outdated at this point, so I bought ones with swappable coils from another shop. I bought two of them and I'm regretting the choice. This all started with the batteries on sale from this shop, please don't make the same mistake that I did. Cheap, for sure but the battery seems deteriorating even though it's an unused product. 650mAh or 1000mAh seems impressive but you know how this type of battery works. You won't be over-vaping with this level of vaping products. So that's a plus. I like how small it is, then again, I've never tried any other compact vaping kits. If you're new to vaping, be wise and try to look for something called AIO or POD type of devices that have good reputation for tastes.

This is the second time I made purchase in GREEN BOWL. In the first purchase, I bought three Snoopy sweatshirts. The quality is amazing. They are thick with fleece layers which are suitable for winter use. The printings are lovable. Then, I made the second purchase no matter how high the shipping cost is. In the second purchase, the description of the above sweatshirt is the same as the previous ones but it is more expensive (6300 yens). To my surprise, I find the quality of this sweatshirt is unsatisfying. It is thin without裏起毛. It is made in China but the tag says "made in Japan". The colour is terrible. It looks old but not vintage. GREEN BOWL, as a customer from Hong Kong, I really like Japanese products as they are in good quality. Yet, definitely, it is cheating. Check your product description before you post it. Check the tag labels before putting them on shelves. The reputation of a shop is not easy to earn!

調子がいい
このサプリ自体は3ヶ月くらい続いていると思います。私には合っているようで痩せました。(痩せると吟っている商品ではないのに) 元々近くのドラッグストアで買っていたのですが、すぐ無くなるので、今後はまとめ買いに利用させていただくと思います。

満足です！
2歳2ヶ月の息子へプレゼント。英語の本はたくさんあり、どれにするか迷った挙句こちらを購入しました。英語と日本語の切替も簡単で単語数も多い！購入の決め手になったのは、ボタンが数字であること。数字はまだ認識が薄いので、ボタンと同じ数字を押すとその単語が発音されることに気付いてくれると、日英の単語と共に数字も認識できるかと期待しています。 日本語も英語も発音はキレイです。また、単語だけでなく簡単な会話How old are you?などもあるので、長く使えることも期待しています。年齢的には電車のおもちゃに興味がいってしまうので、しばらくはこの本のみおもちゃとして与えようかと考えています。

娘が喜んで、数日で口ずさんでいました！
１歳８カ月の娘に購入しました。子供向けの英語の歌ＣＤは色々あるので迷いました。他のＣＤのレビューを見ていると、子供のコーラスや音楽の方が大きくて、歌詞がはっきり聞こえない等がありましたので、それに注意して選びました。このＣＤは音楽がうるさすぎることもなく、歌声も明瞭で歌詞が分かるので良かったです。 保育園でもともと覚えてきていた「ハッピーバースデー」の曲を流すと、食い入るように聞き始め、何回か一緒に歌うと、今まで知らなかった２番（How old are you,now?〜）も少しだけ口ずさんでいました。びっくりです！ これからも、簡単な分かりやすい曲を選んで、他の曲も聞かせてみたいと思います。

It this really old chain?
How do you think about dura-ace 7800 series. Maybe the 7900 chain or 9000 chain gives you less weight or more cogs(11speed). But, that's all. We must think about endurance. Already 10 speed chain is more weak thank 9 speed chain. But, all my components are 10 speed. I think that CN-7801 is better than any other chain for me.

ロングマンの絵辞典より使いやすい
年中〜小学校低学年向けの 初歩的な会話から学びたい方向けのCD付単語と フレーズ集といった感じです。 CDはジャズチャンツなどでお馴染みの キャロリン・グラハム氏が手掛けています。 キャロリン・グラハム氏のジャズチャンツは好きで、 ロングマンの絵辞典なども持っていますが、 こちらの方が断然使いやすいです。 歌詞の部分がレッスンのページにあるので、 （最後の索引とかに歌詞だけ別にまとめてあるのではなく） 絵を見ながら、ちゃんと文字を追ってリーディングも できる点は気に入っています。 内容的には How are you? I'm fine. How old are you? I'm seven. What's this? It's a pen. Where are〜? Do you like〜? What do you want? など ある程度できるお子さんには 簡単すぎるかもしれません。 あと、気に入っている点はフォニックスの練習の部分は、 発音の仕方（音の出し方）が似ている音同志を組み合わせているところです。 1ではBとP、CとG、DとTそして母音AIEOUの11文字が学べます。 ただ1点、CDが改訂されているが、本がそれに対応していません。 本に載っているCDのトラック番号と実際の番号が異なります。 また、以前のはCD2枚に分かれて収録されているようです。 この4th editionは単語、フレーズ、チャンツは収録されていますが、 エクササイズの部分は入っていません。 個人的にはそれで十分ですが、 質問して答えたり、例文にならって 言い返したりするところは、 収録されていませんので、 気になる方は以前の版をお探しになり、 CD2枚付であることを確認した方がいいでしょう。 絵本の多読だけだと、会話文の練習がなかなかできないので、 このまま進めて6冊全部使いたいと思っています。

SOOO Beautiful!!
I bought this Yukata to wear to the Anime Convention 2012 in Los Angeles, and I was SOOOO impressed when I received it!! The design is beautiful and it is great quality and the print is currently in style. I live in California, around San Francisco and they sell Yukatas for $100+ in Japan Town, and they are not even new fashion styles. They are old fashioned (which is fine just not my style) and VERY expensive. This kit came with everything I would need and is just beautiful!! I can't wait to wear it and watch hanabi in it!! The zori/geta are adjustable! You just untie the string at the bottom! My boyfriend is Japanese and had to show me how to fit them properly!! I highly Recommend this yukata!!

【It's not that "Bad." Ha, that was Great.】 What else can really be said about such an amazing band? No matter what you think of U2 or its seemingly pretentious singer, there's no denying the masterful knack the band has to touch the soul.** And has been for over two decades now. For all we know, Bono isn't acting pretentious enough. Think about it...he has a power most government officials wish they had. Like the power to speak to the youth, and actually be heard. That is something U2 has done that was by choice, and should be commended for all the good done as a result. U2 is a band with a social conscience, which is not exactly a bad thing. Some think it's uncool. Some think U2 is "old" and have lost "the edge". Lest we forget the guitarist is known as The Edge?! U2 is cool because they don't want to be cool.!! Never did. They just do what they feel is right, speak up for those who need a voice, and heal those who suffer. If you're not very familiar with the band, this album is a good start. Here I've broken down the songs and put down my thoughts about each.. U2 is one of the most innovative bands of my generation. And this album combines their genius into one case of yummy CD-ness. Again the only draw back is that the album is so ridiculously good that you listen to it 80 million times and then you feel badly that you don't want to listen to it anymore, because how could you be SICK of U2?! In fact right now i am in the mood to listen to it, but my ex-boyfriend still has my cd. Hopefully he's reached the point where he's too sick of it to listen to it anymore. Anthony, if you are reading this, PLEase give me my CD back! There i said it. In anycase. I highly reccommend this compilation.!! It's even got a second CD of B-sides which are fabulous. Go out and buy it. Well, what are you waiting for... GO! GO! Why haven'y you left the house yet? Stop reading this and go. Alright tough guy. Just buy it okay????!!!!!

【The real God should have writers this funny!!】 As much as I really like this movie, I wish there was a box set including the two sequels. The original is the best, easily, but with the amount of movie series coming to dvd it would only make sense to have the trilogy. This is a low-key, laid back kind of movie. This might seem insufferably tame and sedate by Speaking of Ms. Garr, she was quite a fox back in the day and looks great in this movie. God bless her as she struggles with MS. God makes a return trip to earth and teams up with an 11-year-old girl who promises to make him a household word by writing an advertising slogan. The cast is a bunch of nobodies and mind you some of the acting is pretty bad, but the little girl Tracy Richards played by (Louanne - don't ask why she has no last name, nobody really knows) but Louanne does an acceptable acting job and her little body doing big things for God makes you want to stick with it until it's all over. The script is not as creative as the original and is as predictable as any sequel could ever be, but it's still fun. There are some touching moments between George Burns and the Louanne especially at the end of the movie when God makes his grand appearance in front of everyone. I absolutely luv this movie!! It was a really creative twist on faith.!! A little girl thinks that God is telling her to post signs in her school saying "think God" and the whole rest goes from there. It is adorable, very creative and inspirational especially for people of faith; although it would cause some thinking in nonbelievers. The little girl is so cute and reminds me of myself when I was little. It's kind of funny how a little child was able to believe when the adults wouldn't. George Burns makes a great God in this movie. I'm going to make sure I own a copy of this movie. Make sure you watch it. The ending is really sweet. Also check out the first edition "Oh God" and Oh God, you Devil".★★★★

【Fascinating story, Gr8 interviews & music】 Firtsly, my wife who hates most of my music sat transfixed through this movie - from the Manhattan project, through the early years of Atlantic, Stax to the Allman Brothers one cannot miss both the impact and the enthusiasm of Tom Dowd. The commentaries by both the musicians, Jerry Wexler, Ahmet Ertegun and Phil Ramone as well as Tom's own commentaries show what a special individual Tom Dowd was. Filmmaker Mark Moormann takes us on a journey with Dowd to all his old haunts around the City. We see the famous studios where some of the greatest jazz ever created was recorded. We visit the classrooms and laboratories where Dowd began to amass his great storehouse of knowledge. Most importantly, we enter the studio in which Dowd works with a young guitarist Joe Bonnamassa (who has ties to my neck of the woods) to hone his songcraft. Moormann amplifies Dowd’s accomplishments by interviewing many of the great figures of music in the last half of the 20th century; Eric Clapton, Ray Charles, Atlantic Records co-founder Ahmet Ertegun. When Ray Charles says that Dowd taught him how to be a producer, the viewer begins to understand Dowd's influence on the recent course of popular music. Perhaps Dowd's greatest strength was his lack of ego. When dealing with musicians in the studio, you have to humbly make suggestions. As the Allman Brothers Band guitarist Dicky Betts said if you tell them what to play, it won’t be any good. The scene entitled "studio shoot" isnt worth even the brief time it takes to watch it. The additional interviews and deleted scenes are very worthwhile. The stories that Dowd tells are fascinating. He tells them as if he is just talking about some old friends, not legendary musicians. Dowd speaks of his reverence for Clapton, the Layla piano and why Dizzy Gillespie bent his horn straight up. The movie itself would have been slightly improved if these stories could have been worked in a bit more.

【Creates amazing length.!!!!】 This is a great lash-lengthening mascara.***** I have been using it with superb results for the past six months after my previous favorite was discontinued. When you pull this brush out of the container, you will see the brush itself is straight. Some brushes in other mascaras curve. This does not. It is a spiral that gets a little smaller towards the end. It has a smooth consistency, which ensures maximum length without sticking your lashes together, and the brush is easy and comfortable to use. For me though, I do find it necessary to use a thickening mascara first, and then use this mascara on top to give me the length, as my eye lashes are not only short, but also pretty thin (how lucky am I?!).★★★★★ The packaging is lovely and my tube has stayed nice and shiny even after a couple of months of use. I find most mascara tubes start to look a bit scratched and old after bashing around in a make-up bag for this length of time. The cost is a bit of an issue, but I do believe that eyelashes are the most important part of any make-up look and therefore it's worth spending a little extra. I am not a fan of waterproof mascaras. This is not waterproof. I can wash this off rather easily with just my normal cleanser. I luv not having to use makeup remover to remove traces of mascara. I always feel like I don't like to rub my eyes in any way, and add wrinkles to my eye area. All in all a great mascara, and the lengthening powers are amazing, but if you are looking for a thickening mascara then this is not the one for you.!! It goes on easily. The result is pretty and flirty. I do not have to curl my lashes. I don't have to stick a safety pin near my lashes to get them to separate because my mascara clumped them together. I have no smearing. Let me repeat that. I have no smearing. I LUV that!!!! This product makes my eyes pop without looking cheap or tacky.!!!!

【An expertly staged and acted audio spaghetti western.】 In the 90s, most of what we might call alternative rock fell to one of two extremes. The first, and more popular (at least in the U.S.) was the grungy sound of Seattle - unwashed men singing dirtily about how depressed and angry and wacked out on blow they were. The other was the hetero-wimp model: bookish, delicate, and too soft for this world. Last year, these two extremes met when two of their iconic voices - Isobel Campbell, formerly of Belle & Sebastian, and Mark Lanegan, formerly of Screaming Trees - collaborated on a four-song EP (Ramblin' Man) of spaghetti western balladry. The upbeat and poppy 'Honey Child What Can I Do' is easily the closest thing to Campbell's old band Belle & Sebastian here, and ranks with some of their best offerings. It's as if both singers brought their own song, played them together with their own bands, and just saw what would happen. You can almost hear the singers's surprised happiness at how good they sound together. I'm not going to step through each song individually, but they're lovely. If you're a fan of the off-beat Tom Waits (just listen for the influence on "Ramblin' Man"), the messier (read true) old school country standards, and just plain incongruous music making, this is your bag. Still, on the whole, the album has to fight its own novelty factor. Its never less than a pleasure to listen to, but, aside from a couple of genuinely moving moments, the album is more like one of the Coen Brothers' more clever exercises in film. The way the two singers construct their soundstage backdrop, they way they immerse themselves within that backdrop, living in it as if it were real - the way they maintain character throughout the disc - is impressive. But the question sorta lingers: "What for?" For as deeply entrenched as Campbell and Lanegan are in these songs, they often come up just a teeny bit shallow.*****

【Stronger vocals, a greater variation in the music!!】 I had zero expectations for this CD. Okay, that may not be entirely true. I suppose that I expected that since she's signed to Murder Inc. records that Ja Rule would be all over the place ruining the whole thing for me, but this time I lucked out.!! Although the CD is stamped with a parental advisory warning, Ashanti has the makings of a real R&B star. Speaking of the PA, I think it’s due to language which in my opinion is not even as strong as you might see in a PG-13 movie. Moving along, at only 21-years old and the first real R&B act to come from the Murder Inc. camp; Ashanti has just begun her journey to stardom. Ashanti the album is a surprisingly good mix of Hip-hop and R&B with only a few guest appearances and solid vocals. Many might recognize Ashanti’s voice from singing hooks for Ja Rule (on “Always On Time”) and for the late Big Pun (“How We Roll”) but striking out on her own and not just singing hooks was the best thing she could have ever done for herself. This is a pretty good omnibus album for Rihanna,too.!! I never had her first one, so I can't really compare, but she does deliver on this album. It has a lot of "caribbean-felt songs" on the album, but it definetly has it's R&B beats. Although this album came out years ago, I still listen to it almost every day. The songs on this album are so diverse. Ranging from the feel good song "Happy," to the break up song "Over." Ashanti has a beautiful voice and I believe that it's not just her collaborations with Fat Joe and Ja Rule that have made her so popular today. She is very talented and I believe she definitely shows that throughout this album. There is not a single song on this record that I do not like.!!★★★★☆ This CD has some reggae tracks but mostly focuses on R&B, but some of the R&B tracks are somewhat fast and have a good rhythm. Pick this one up you shouldn't be disappointed.!!!!!

【Relive some fantastic historic moments!!】 Following the Grammy music has been a tradition with me and this collection is quite entertaining.!! The most special performance has to be Aerosmith doing "Come Together" as a tribute to John Lennon. Who can ever forget the words...... bad production, walrus gumbo... he wear no shoeshine, he got toejam football... They do a fantastic job on that Lennon classic.***** The 1-hour tape is hosted by Vanessa Williams performing 1993 "Save the Best for Last". She keeps the chit chat to a minimum and we are treated to nonstop musical performances. You get a gr8 glimpse of the audience notables. A short break with some moments that weren't musical, like Little Richard who announced the Best New Artist as "me." Word has been that Little Richard has felt neglected for not winning ever. Steve Martin enters sans his pants, a cute moment with Kris Kristofferson and Moms Mabley. You will see Eddie Murphy do his thing with .. "not leaving without a Grammy." The performances start with the rousing "We didn't Start the Fire" 1990, Billy Joel. A slew of cultural and historic images become the backdrop. Janet Jackson "What Have You Done For Me Lately", 1987. Janet and dancers shine with impressive choreography as usual. Doobie Brothers, 1980 "What A Fool Believes"; Michael Bolton & Kenny G, 1990 "How Am I Supposed to Live Without You"; Huey Lewis and the News 1985 "Heart of Rock N Roll"; k.d. Lang 1993 "Constant Craving." Three other superb performances are Aretha Franklin 1990 "Respect"; Whitney Houston 1989 "One Moment in Time" and the closing heartfelt 1993 "Tears in Heaven" written about his son Connor who died at about four years old. This is a fine collection of Grammy moments. If your passion is live performances, you may never see these again, unless you own this tape!! Quick!!!! What Do These Songs Have In Common?

【Love the vacuum, hate the Mini Turbine Head !!!!】 This vacuum is amazing.!! It replaces a Hoover bagless cyclonic, and puts the old vacuum to shame. When used on the carpet I cant believe how much stuff it picks up. There is no height setting it automatically adjusts. While this unit is heaver that our older unit, it is easier to use due to the design. It has large rear wheels and the angle of the handle provides better leverage than our older unit. It is very clear that this machine went through serious amounts of usability testing. For example, tilting the unit back to begin vacuuming only requires you to place your foot on either side of the unit to hold it in place and a gentle tug on the upright every other unit Ive seen requires you to step on a lever to release the upright. The bin is clear and allows you to see just what youve picked up and is the easiest to empty Ive ever seen. Just take it out side and hold it over the trash can and push the red button. With a gentle shake the dirt falls out the bottom of the bin, then you close it up and go.+++ Here are some other features I really like: The power cord is really, really long.The placement of the attachments where they clip on to the vacuum is well thought out they dont get knocked off easily. If you need to clear an obstruction, all the tubes are accessible to clean, without tools. The thing just looks cool. You can see all the parts and how it is put together. Cleans better than any other vacuum. Great attachments. Easy to use. No filters or bags. This vacuum does an amazing job cleaning. I've used it on bare floors, pile carpet and berber carpet. I was absolutely amazed at how clean they all are. The handle took some time to understand and operate but this is a totally new design to me so there is a learning curve. Trust me...this is a good investment. Be patient with the design, read the manual, and be pleasantly surprised.☆☆☆☆☆

【Carrey In a Role We Won't Forget】 This is a very relaxing and beautiful movie. It makes the US seem very wholesome. Even the older people in this movie manage to look beautiful with lines on their faces. Even the rather evil characters are photographed with a dignity to make them appear almost incapable of anything other than actually shallow misunderstandings about the nature of reality. Perhaps we should believe that this movie does embrace the nature of reality, especially during an insecure time in this country and the release timing of this movie could hardly be better. Also, the moment when Luke decides to help Harry reopen the Majestic is handled very well. Luke doesnt jump at the opportunity and takes some persuasion, but as he realizes how much this could mean to the town, he decides that they should take the opportunity. The relationship between Luke and Harry is also well-done. Gerry Black as Emmett, the Majestic's doorman and Susan Willis as Irene, the Majestic's candy counter woman are both very good. Brian Howe as Carl and Catherine Dent as Mabel also create a memorable couple with whom we can identify. Less successful are the scenes involving the blacklist and the congressional hearings. These are meant to ultimately define a message which is meant to be "important" and meaningful.+++ But this same message is not true to the original idea of a Capra film. In a Capra film, the message would be about the differences in lifestyle between living in a small town versus Los Angeles. It is unfortunate that the filmmakers have chosen to portray the seemingly more important message because it merely serves to dilute the power of the film. The Majestic is a decidedly old-fashioned film with an old-fashioned, sentimental message that works. Technically, the film is also superb. Carrey turns in a great performance, surrounded by a cast of familiar character actors. Why wouldn?t you go to see ? The Majestic????

【"Hey, bud, let's party!!"】 Utter any of the memorable lines from "Fast Times At Ridgemont High" and chances are someone within earshot will chime in and help finish the phrase. Without a doubt, this is one of the most memorable films of the early 80's and I still can?t believe that its 20 years old. I dare not call it the original teen flick, but when you compare it to other releases of this nature, it shines as the reining king.!! Amy Heckerling, who knows how to milk high school life for all of its tragicomic absurdity (and did it again in Clueless), directed the film with panache and keeps things zipping along from sequence to sequence, buoyed by Cameron Crowe's amazing ear for teen dialogue. Sean Penn, who had distinguished himself the year before opposite Timothy Hutton in Taps began to display the versatility that would soon cause him to be dubbed one of the best actors of his generation. Jennifer Jason Leigh as the tragic heroine, Judge Reinhold as the uptight martinet, Phoebe Cates as the sex bomb. The humor is a little all over the place, nothing much really happens, but the film still works as a look at the generation who followed the boom and who became Generation X. It's also fun to see stars such as Nicolas Cage running around at seventeen. Give it a whirl. Smoke filled van. Service industry mall jobs. Pizza delivery. Casual sex. German dining. Football cheers. Mini-mart robbery. Voyeuristic masturbation. Pirate hat. Naked Jennifer Jason Leigh. Naked Phoebe Cates. Naked Robert Romanus. No naked Judge Reinhold. No naked Sean Penn. Leigh and Cates disrobed because everyone had to in order to make it big in the 80's. Nudity is a rare commodity these days, and this movie is still cut to shreds when aired on TV, so splurge for the fifty-cent video rental, especially if you're interested in seeing Phoebe Cates' breasts.★★★★★

【Hook! Hook! Give us the Hook!!】 Three top rated stars brings about the revival of the Peter Pan Saga which began many years gone by. There is no way that this film could have been anything but good with three of thespians that I rate as being top rated actors and actresses. In order to be a true actor in my opinion the actor must be able to assume various roles and make you loose yourself in their different characters. I luv this movie.!! I love just about every movie that Robin Williams makes. He does an EXCELLENT job in this one. The movie starts out where Robin Williams is a business man with a family he has no time for. What he doesn't know is his life is about to change. Believe it or not he's afraid of flying. He and his family go to England to visit his Granny Wendy I guess you know who Wendy is??? Yes,the Wendy from the First Peter Pan movie. She's an old woman now. The way the story goes is Peter Pan came back for Wendy and she was old. She had a Granddaughter and when Peter Pan saw her he fell in love with her. So you see, Peter Pan married Wendy's GrandDaughter. The family goes out for the evening and leaves the Children home . When Peter,his wife and Granny Wendy gets home the Children are gone. Hook has come and taken them to Never Never Land. Julia Roberts plays Tinkerbell. She shows up and Peter can't believe his eyes. This little person flying around, and he can't believe HE IS Peter Pan. Tinkerbell takes him back. He confronts Captain Hook, but makes a fool of himself.He has so many days to remember who he is to fight the Hook and get his Children back.Captain Hook is played by Dustin Hoffman. The Never Never Land Boys and Tinkerbell take him and try to make him remember who he is. IT'S GREAT!! How he transforms from a Business man to Peter Pan. I guess you know who wins. This adventure changes Peters life for ever when he gets home.★★★★★

【Rude, Obnoxious, and Funny as Hell】 THE SWEETEST THING is an "adult" comedy ..which really means it's more of a sophomoric sex comedy. Just in time.!! THE SWEETEST THING may be this generation's ANIMAL HOUSE. Some reviewers didn't care for this flick. I suppose they were hoping for something dignified and ennobling. How unrealistic. This is a comedy, more than that it's a sex comedy, and on par with the Farrelly Brothers' stuff. This was written by Nancy Pimental, who has written for South Park, and Sex and the City, and this movie sort of fits into the same comedic category. It turns out that the dry cleaner knows her parents well, and wants her to identify the stain for him; just as she's summoned up the courage to tell him, in comes her old grammar school teacher with a classful of third graders to see a dry cleaner at work, then comes her family's priest with his laundry .. Christine and Courtney set out on a drive to crash this small town wedding. In the midst of things, they get soaked, they attract the attentions of a biker, they buy entirely new outfits at a dress shop run by Georgia Engel (it's been a long dry spell without her), and Christine winds up giving the terrified bride (Posey Parker) a pep talk. And we're only about halfway through. I don't think we saw virtually any musical talent in "The Sweetest Thing" but it was nice that they just let the exuberance of the characters justify them all breaking into song from time to time (the "we need to help Jane relax her throat" excuse was too thin a gag to really justify that song, but what the heck, they threw it in anyway). Music and comedy are natural companions as any Broadway producer will tell you. It's nice to see more of that togetherness in the movies again. It wasn't up to the standard of Barbra Streisand or Anne Murray, or even of Robert Downey Jr.'s turn at the mic in Ally McBeal, but it was all in fun, and for the most part, we all enjoyed it.!!

【Great mixture of the 60/70's and the 90's】 Ever been in love??? Ever lost at love??? Ever cried over love? Still in love? If so, this is great soundtrack CD for you!! After attending a viewing of the film Notting Hill, I was certain that I had to have the soundtrack.!! I love the variety of old, classics like ""Ain't No Sunshine" by Bill Withers and "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" by Al Green to the more recent "You've Got a Way" by Shania Twain.*** Whether you are happy, sad, remorseful, or disillusioned by love, you will absolutely LOVE this soundtrack. Every song can bring a smile or a tear to my eye, depending on my particular mood while listening. Although Notting Hill may be more of a "girl" movie, the soundtrack should appeal to both female and male... especially if that male would like to put that female in the mood for romance. I have recommended this soundtrack to many friends or have given it as gifts. One of my co-workers plays it continuously in her office as background music to help calm the stress of the office. The music is soothing and the words are penetrating ~~~ straight to the heart. Buy it, listen to it, make it an indispensable addition to your music collection. I found myself walking out the movie theater after watching "Notting Hill" and thinking to myself that I could not wait to get to a music store and find out whether there was a Soundtrack out for the movie. Of course there was, and quite unlike me I snatched it up right away. This is the kind of CD that you rip the wrapping off of and play in your car on the way home from the music store, which is exactly what I did. The music on this soundtrack is beyond the snippets you hear during the movie. Every song has a different personality, and you never feel as if you're listening to the same thing over and over again. There are very few CD's I could recommend so highly, but this one is on top of the list!! You won't regret it for a minute.☆☆☆☆☆

【The Circle of Life Continues!!!!】 This was one of the best sequels I have ever seen!! OK, let me tell you a bit about it. *** Remember how at the end of Lion King, Simba and Nala had a baby? Well it turns out that the baby was a girl and they named her Kiara. The basic story in this movie is about Kiara growing up to become the next Queen of the jungle.!! They bring back many familiar characters in this movie. Zazu, Rafiki, Simba, Nala, are just a few of them. There are also some new characters that are kind of confusing to figure out where they came from. Scar died in the first movie but supposedly before he did he choose one of these outlander cubs to rise and be the new king.+++ This cub, Kovu, wasn?t really Scars son. It is a little confusing and you may have to explain it to your children, but it all makes sense in the end.★★★★★ I do have to say this was a wonderful sequel and it fit together pretty good with the first movie. If you are a Disney fan, you will love this movie and if you loved the Lion King this movie is for you. If you are still skeptical, rent it before you buy it. The animation is crisp and only slightly less well-done than the original. This one is just as colorful as big daddy, too. I will admit that the musical numbers are pretty lame, but I watch a movie for the story, not the songs. I buy CDs if I want music. The true star here is the story. It's another story about good vs evil with lots of lessons to be learned along the way. This time, though, we are following the (mis)adventures of Simba and Nala's daughter. And guess what else? Scar wasn't a bachelor... After the original, I was left hankering to know "what happened to Simba next?", this animated feature video fills it all in and in a very satisfying way. If you ever wondered the same thing, or just miss the old Lion King 'gang', see this today. I think kid's will like this movie a lot.*****

"F*ck Disco!! New Order is the Shiznit Here!!" I know. How rote. How boring. Another five-star review of Substance. Not to be confused with Joy Division's Substance, by the way, even though all but one of the members of New Order is originally from that other band. There. I got my Joy Division mention out of the way, which seems to be a requirement when you're talking about New Order. Critics are unable to write about New Order without invoking The Him. I promise you, come the band's next release in 2005, some joker is going to write about how Ian Curtis hanged himself, of how New Order "rose like a phoenix from the ashes," as though this isn't decades-old history by now, as though the band have not yet earned the respect to be considered their own entity with their own problems. Hm. ***** Substance has several flaws. But this is New Order, duh, so you'd expect that. Substance is a collection of 12-inch singles and most of the attendant B-sides up to 1987. For whatever reason, though, two of the singles that showcased New Order's astounding growth and love of experimentation -- "Temptation" and "Confusion" -- have been summarily re-performed and retrofitted for this outing. Not to mention that "Perfect Kiss" is in truncated form, because there's not enough room on the CD for the full version. I'd have to search out the vinyl if I wanted to hear the entire song. It's not easy being a fan of such a frustrating band. So why bother? Certainly New Order weren't the first band to mix indie rock and indie dance together into a viable, simple-complex whole. No, no they weren't. But they were the best. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.!!!! For the die-hard New Order fan or for the person who has a lot of experience with the band, I recommend this album as a necessity. It holds the true spirit of New Order, from beginning to end, and shows through music how a tragedy can turn itself into a triumph.★★★★★

【Gr8 Disco collection of a true diva's gr8est hits.!!】 Wow.!! Most disco divas have had their day and are lucky if they can squeak out a note without sounding like a hairdryer. This certainly isn't the case for the amazing Donna Summer. What is her secret??? She sounds better than she ever has on this CD, and it's LIVE!! Donna is the premier diva with a powerful voice and if you like Celine, Mariah, and Whitney you'll love Donna Summer Live and More Encore. Many people dismiss Donna Summer as simply a disco queen who had a few good hits back then and who will pop up only on disco compilations for the next twenty years or so.!!!! Unfortunately Donna never gets her due. I don't know if it's because other artists are jealous because she is the one singer (like Mariah Carey and Stevie Nicks) who has both a voice and writes her own songs; or whether it's because she has been able to redo and live off all of her old classic hits which seem to stand the test of time. What they don't know, and what her fans have known for years, is that she is one of the best voices in the music industry. She has maintained her career long after the Hustle shuffled on out the door, and has kept her voice in excellent condition. Not bad for a fifty year old woman.!! This cd contains many of the same hits that appeared on the original cd and some new material that is being performed here for the first time. My only complaint is how she's treated on some talk shows. When Donna was on Oprah last year, she was on last after Hallie Berrie!! Excuse me, Donna is a superstar who demands top billing. Great nostalgia for her hard-core fans. New listeners won't be able to keep themselves from dancing and singing along either.!! This is a MUST-HAVE CD for any Donna fan. It is proof that there are some true divas still out there...and Donna reigns supreme!!

【Surprising to Even Me】 Okay, I know. For many reasons that have been embedded in my head, I shouldn't like Britney Spears. She is a slut, she influences girls to dress very provocatively, she has no talent, she doesn’t write her own songs, she can't sing. First of all, it was the perfect exercising album and the songs were just so damn catchy. I hate to say it, but I liked this album. For as repetitive as it may be, it is really accomplishing what it should be accomplishing. There is no more to say after you mention the name Britney Spears. The girls is abosolutely amazing.!! True, I will admit, she is partially made of plastic these days, but there is nothing wrong with that. If she can afford to have it done, more power to her. She lights up the stage to the likes people such as Michael Jackson when he was normal. Though she can be a little bit on the ditzy side, though what 18 year old star isn't?...she has a true charm about her. Her charm and personality makes her even more beautiful to the male eyes. After watching the video you look forward to watching MTV to see her newest video's because you know the person you are actually watching on the screen. She gives you an in-depth look into her life so that you can see what kind of person she really is. Having to deal with the media all the time and balance a hectic life that most adults can't handle deserves tremendous respect. People judge Britney Spears because of their own jealousy and the attention she gets for her abilities. Instead of judging, they should sit down, watch this video and appreciate everything that she does and respect all her talent. This is an album of coming of age and actually coming into oneself. This is a good album for younger girls to learn how to not be completely dependent on “boys.” If you don’t look for more than catchy songs from Brit, then you can enjoy this CD.☆☆☆☆☆

【Send your EX straight to hell, he's an evil bastard...】 It cannot be emphasized enough how much of a watershed for the show this season-ending two-parter really was.. .. because the truth of the matter is that Buffy came to television with a stacked deck.*** The show was created by Joss Whedon, screenwriter of the film of the same name starring Kristy Swanson & Luke Perry.+++ To put it kindly, the film was at best a flash-in-the-pan cult classic. When it came to television on WB, critics likened it to Beverly Hills 90210 with the occult. And in its first season, you wouldn't be incorrect in making that judgment. Then suddenly the stakes were raised. !!! Im reminded of a line from the Dark Tower books about Roland's quest resulting in the loss of everyone he has ever loved. While I don't think Whedon will do the same thing with Buffy, he made it clear that Buffy will lose friends, lovers, innocence, even life in her never-ending battle against evil forces. Meanwhile Buffy seaches for Giles and the others look for a way to restore Angels soul. In the second part Buffy finally finds Angel and they fight while the others unbeknownst to her are trying to restore his soul. They suceed but its too late and buffy has no choice but to kill angel it was one of the most heartwrenching scenes I have ever seen. It also is important to see these episodes to understand why even with Angel gone to LA there is still so much betweent the 2 of them and why so many fans believe that in the end they need to be together. Overall I highly reccomend this tape for new and old fans.★★★★★

【Fairy tale story, Excellent acting, Beautiful backdrop..】 Happy Dreaming!! I just have to say how much I luvd this movie. Hey, I am a sucker for fairy-tales and happy endings.!! Whatever it is, I really did enjoy this movie even though it was not totally like the fairy tale that we were all told when growing up or even the real life of Prince Henry. There is no magic! We see no fairy god-mothers’ to save the day...only Leonardo Da Vinci...who is out of his time period. There are no horses and pumpkin coaches to drive Danielle to the ball. The story of Prince Henry’s marriage to Danielle De Barbarac is just totally made up, as in real life, he married Catherine de Medici.****** Jeez, such pettiness is unreal.!!!! It’s not like they aren’t dressed up looking pretty everyday, when Danielle is left with the rags. The setting of the story could not have been more perfect. There were old castles and beautiful landscaping in the countryside to add to the aura of the much-told fairy tale. And the costumes were perfect for that time period. The girls were beautifully dressed in long-flowing, rich looking gowns. While the men, of course, had their own tight pants and frilly-looking shirts. So yes, I would recommend watching this movie. I had heard conflicting reviews on this one, but can say that I really enjoyed it. It didn’t wholly replicate the Cinderella story that we all grew up with...but what’s a fairy tale if you cannot change what happens? The outcome is much more than the fairy tale story told, but does not stray too much from the original. Looking briefly at it, you would think it was a chic flick...but watching it would prove that thought wrong. There is romance, action, and adventure all rolled into this movie. Ever After is a great film for the whole family to enjoy. Im definitely going to add this DVD to my collection. And though Cinderella and her prince did live happily ever after, the point, gentleman, is that they lived...☆☆☆☆☆
