Customer Review: Thin
I was all hyped up to watch this movie. I read on some forum that I should go home and prepare to watch a fantastic movie. I bought the Blu-ray disc (BD) on Amazon and a couple of days later it arrived. Made dinner settled into my chair, fired up my 7.1 home theater and was unimpressed. I don't mind heavy British accents when the movie is good enough to put it aside.An example would be "The Full Monte" or Harry Potter, but this movie was lame. I don't care if it was based on a true story. The Great Escape was based on a true story and it was great. The execution of putting it down to film, the telling of the story if you will, was thin to say the least. The film maker attempts to peak your willingness to watch this flick with early on sexual scenes and with euro strip club, semi naked ladies in the backround as part of the area of operation. Did not work for me. The story doddles along until after a string of boring acts of implementation of the plan straining to come to a peak. It then turns to a semi who gets who first exercise, and then ends. Thank goodness. It is now one of my "I only watched it one time" BD's in my collection. For me it was a waste of money. The guy needed a shave too. You know how many Europeans have a particular odor when your standing next to them? This movie had the same smell.

Sander Bands,Fine,1/4" (6)
Dremel/b> Set of six, 1/4" Fine Sanding Bands
Ideal for rough-shaping and smoothing woodand fiberglassas well as removing rust from metal surfaces, shaping rubber surfaces and more.
Customer Review: Sander Bands
Not much to say about these, the delivery was very fast and pretty much what I had expected. Product works as described. I have 3 dogs, 2 of which had wicked long nails, because I am afraid of cutting the Quick, and so far I have only gone through one band and their nails are almost to the length they should be. I will re-purchase when I run out.

Dremel 750-02 Minimite 13,000 RPM 2 Speed 4.8-Volt Cordless Rotary Tool
We started counting all the uses for this little dynamo, but we stopped at 967. We like it for delicate tasks and finer work because it isn't as powerful as its big brothers, so it's easier to control. It's light, extremely maneuverable, the switch is exactly where you want it and heck, it's just plain fun to use. It's perfect for jewelry, electronics, tiny woodworking crafts like dollhouse furniture and other intricate hobbies. It uses Dremel's wide array of bits, so there's virtually no limit to what you can do with this. Sure, there are store brands on the market for less, but Dremel is king when it comes to rotary tools, and we think they outdid themselves with this one.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste
Customer Review: The best option for trimming your pet's nails!
I absolutely love my Dremel! I have a 20lb pug who HATES going to the groomers to get his nails cut (can't say I blame him!). My mother-in-law breeds labs and she swears by the Dremel, but I had my doubts. After doing my homework on the safety of using a rotary tool to cut nails (according to many, grinding nails is actually less painful if the quick is cut, and it bleeds less), I chose this model because a) it's cordless and b) has a rechargeable battery. My dog's nails were quite long when I first used the tool - so I definitely hit the quick on a few of them. It didn't seem to hurt him a lot, just seemed like it stung for a second, and they didn't bleed at all. I did his nails in stages over a period of a few days, he's not scared of the tool, nor the noise it makes when it is on, but if you have a dog who is skiddish, this may not be the option for you. Also, it takes some wrangling and determination to do this - my dog squirms and scratches. But after awhile he just gives up, which is when I'm able to really make progress. I'm confident now that his nails are at a point where he'll just need maintenance once a week or so, he'll get very comfortable with the process and it will be a piece of cake. I love the fact that I'm able to easily maintain his nails (I was never comfortable cutting them myself) and I know that he's not in any pain. It's so imporatant to keep your pet's nails trimmed, and the Dremel allows you to do that safely and easily! Plus, at $20 a pop at the local pet store to get his nails cut - the Dremel has already paid for itself! Pros: Cordless, Rechargeable Battery, Battery lasts a looong time before needing to recharge, 2 speeds (use the low setting for nails), light weight, easy to hold. Cons: None!

Mothership
For years, as playlists and multidisc players put Led Zeppelin tracks into a mix, there was a perpetual need to adjust the volume when Zep came on. Their tunes languished in the haze of substandard remastering--until now, at least for the 24 tracks on Mothership and the final fullness of the new Song Remains the Same reissue. For its part, Mothership's crisper, warmer audio owes its heft to the troika of Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones, who helped oversee the mastering, bringing out untold shades even in the throes of "Heartbreaker" and the sinews of "No Quarter." It's an impressive sonic leap. Where tinny high-ends and muffled lows used to co-exist, fatter and louder depths prevail. It's ever more astonishing that Zep got on with just four blokes. You can quibble with the 24 tracks here (where's "The Ocean"?), but the band picked each track here, from the stone-cold locks ("Communication Breakdown" and "Stairway to Heaven," no, duh) to the robust throb of "When the Levee Breaks." As for "The Ocean," you can find that in fantastically full form, along with five other gems on the newly remastered Song Remains the Same, which shows up for 2007's holiday season on DVD, too. Only rarely have four lads from England made so memorable an auditory and visual blast. --Andrew Bartlett

Customer Review: 2007 remaster versus previous remaster
I know the songs, i have listened to them back to back in a good audio rig, the new against the nineties remasters, and really i do not hear THAT great difference spelled in other articles. Indeed certain frecuences were leveled in this 2007 job, but the old remasters sound very very well. My recommendation - buy the complete studio works box, the old live The song remains the same -read my review about the brutal trimming Jimmy did on majestic songs. -, and How the west was won. Also, Page declared remixing the instrument and voice tracks would take ages in the studio. There was no remixing as mentioned somewhere else.

Logitech ClearChat Comfort USB Headset
Extend your comfort with a padded headband and ear pads. A rotating, noise-canceling microphone reduces background chatter, and convenient in-line volume and mute controls let you adjust audio on the fly.
Customer Review: Perfect for podcasts, listening to music, internet telephone
I love the Logictech ClearChat headset. The ear pieces are nicely padded, with excellent noise canceling sound. The rigid microphone boom can be lowered or raised, according to whether you want to record/talk or just listen. They work equally well with both Windows and Mac OS X machines, with no driver software required. Because they connect using a USB source, they are strictly for computers, however, and cannot be used with stereo systems or iPods. Within minutes of opening the box and plugging the connection into a USB slot, I was able to create a high-quality podcast on my Mac using Garage Band, part of the Apple iLife '08 suite. (To hear the sound quality of the podcast, email me or go to my Amazon Connect page on my profile.) My Mac immediately identified the headset as a possible input/output device, although I had to manually change the previous settings to use it. The mute button, located halfway down the cord, works instantly, without any clicks, although it's not always easy to tell whether the blinking red light means the mike is muted (it does) or whether it should be a steady red light. The sound quality is excellent, although obviously the source and medium can limit the quality. Just as important, the headset is extremely comfortable; I was able to wear the ClearChat for hours without any fatigue or discomfort. The wire leading from the headset to the mute button seems like it might be fragile, so people who walk around while wearing their headsets might encounter problems. All in all, the Logitech ClearChat is an excellent value.

Customer Review: Great Case!
I bought this case to be used on a long 8-hour trip for my daughter (2) and her friend (2). You can hook up the case in between the 2 front seats so more than 1 person can view the DVD screen. It is easy to hook up. My only con to this carrier is that it does not stay level when you hook it up to hang between 2 seats. It remained fairly still in the car for viewing, but it was tilted down. The bag hinge should give a little more so the DVD player weight can be adjusted. For the price, it's still a good buy!

Mamma Mia! The Musical Based on the Songs of ABBA: A Decca Broadway Original Cast Recording (1999 London Cast)
Put together by Abba's own Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, Mamma Mia! manages to cram over 20 of the Swedish supergroup's songs into a threadbare plot. It goes a little like this: Young Sophie is getting married and she's trying to identify which of three men is her father. That's about it. Wisely, the musical doesn't mess around with the songs, save for the insertion of some dialogue or for having some of them performed by a man (it works amazingly well). Abba fans will jump on this import of the London production, but traditional fans of musical theater should consider it as well. After all, Andersson and Ulvaeus's songs have always felt as if they were more than isolated pop gems and actually belonged to a longer narrative. --Elisabeth Vincentelli
Customer Review: Mama Mia sound-track
I saw the musical while it was in Boston...I loved all of Abba's music in the story-line...My daughter purchased it for me, however I wore it out playing it... I just love listening to all of the great songs from the play... I truly wanted this since it is from the Musical...One of my favs for sure...
