3.0 out of 5 stars Overpriced, Aug 23 2008
This review is from: The Office: Season Four (DVD)
I totally agree with the last guy. Don't get me wrong. I love the office, but the writer's strike made this season shorter, so unless they threw a ridiculous amount of DVD extras on this season and from what I can see, it's the same ratio as the seasons before, it's not worth buying until it comes down in price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Such a great movie, Oct 13 2007
This review is from: Garden State (Widescreen) (DVD)
I think Zach Braff did such an awesome job writing and directing this movie on basically a shoe string budget.

I was hoping this wouldn't be some sappy love story and it totally wasn't. It's kind of half a coming of age film and half a romance, but it's not sappy by any means. The jokes are actually really funny. The conversations remind me so much of my friends. The soundtrack is the best I have ever seen ever! You will not find a better balanced soundtrack with better music. Well if you do please let me know.

5.0 out of 5 stars Greatest Children's Book I've Ever Read, Oct 13 2007
This review is from: The Paper Bag Princess (Paperback)
This book is so worth buying. The end made me laugh so hard so I bought it for my niece. I think it's such a good moral for girls who now a days are growing up with these twisted views of themselves.

I recommend this 100% You will not be dissapointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Probably my favorite movie, Oct 13 2007
This review is from: Wicker Park (DVD)
The review below goes into more detail, but the short and sweet of it is that this is a great movie. Do not go by what the critics have said about it. I could not believe the cinicism I was reading. There are maybe 5 movies that I would watch over, but I've seen this probably 10 times and I still would watch it again. The cinimatography is really different than anything I've seen before. The story keeps you wondering at the beginning and you need to pay attention, but at the end I feel it all comes together perfectly. You wont be disapointed if you buy this.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favorite albums, Oct 13 2007
This review is from: Day I Forgot (Audio CD)
If you don't know Pete Yorn he's a really layed back musician. If you already know him, this album is as good as all the other ones. I like everything he's put out and I own I think all of it. I listen to:
The Shins
Ben Folds
Third Eye Blind
Radiohead
Ragina Specter
Snow Patrol
etc.
If you like any of those bands, you'll probably like Pete Yorn.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really cool album, Oct 13 2007
This review is from: Box (Audio CD)
I really enjoyed this album up until someone stole it (which might tell you something about it too.) I would totally recommend it. Oh, and something cool about the band, there's a good chance they'll email you back if you send them one. They emailed me back. Thought that was cool.

5.0 out of 5 stars Greatest season yet, Sep 26 2007
This is the best season of my favorite show on TV. I know there's "purists" who say that nothing will ever stand up to the british version, but that's just totally stupid. Steve Carel, John Krasynsky, Raine Wilson, and Jenna Fisher are all totally brilliant in their parts. If you buy this you wont regret it. Also they have lots of deleted scenes which are totally worth watching, and commentaries which I swear sometimes I'm the only one that watches, but they're great anyway.

Buy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic book for beginner to intermediate photographers, Dec 28 2006
As far as my knowledge of photography is concerned, I'd say I'm between a beginner and intermediate.

I've started reading other books on photography, but I've dropped them because they were boring, and I can't stand trying to understand visual things like exposure when there are no pictures to demonstrate what the author is saying. This book is not like that at all. There is at least one picture on every page, and those pictures sum up perfectly what he's been saying.

I can't read for extended periods of time, and I'm not a fast reader, but the night I received this, I read over 70 pages, and after that, I read it every free moment I had.

It's the best book I've ever read on photography, and I would recommend it without a doubt.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great game for 14 and up!, Dec 13 2005
I'm 23 years old, and I'm not usually one who get's into to RPG type games (I am a die hard stratagy gamer), but this one is so addictive I couldn't stop playing it. The story line is really cool, and if you like the movies you wont be dissapointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic book for those who want to broaden their knowledge, Dec 6 2005
This review is from: The Professional Chef (Hardcover)
I am not a professional chef, and I don't even work in a kitchen. I love to cook however and I bought this book wanting to learn how I can be better rounded and more diverse in the kitchen cooking for myself or catering for a hundred. This is such a great book for that. I teaches you the why's, and not just the how's, which is something that I find easily 90% of the cookbooks out there fail in.
I would most certainly recommend this book to anyone period. Batchlors like myself I think would benefit greatly from this, but I don't honestly think there is anyone who wouldn't.
