Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Bouncy with a side of sacred) 『3 1/2
Still a fun, diverse disc of creative electronica, even if urgency has bled out on some tracks. There are enough timeless moments though to guarantee long term satisfaction.』
(Music at its best) 『Squance is a great track, Plaid releases yet another great album, while it doesn't follow the lineage that not for threes had to offer, it is, yet, a great record.』
(One of the Best) 『One of their best, if not their best. And one of the best of the genre -- atmospheric, smart, dreamy, melodic, interesting, and just enough quirkiness and oddity to keep you listening. Fans of Tosca, K&D, non-thump ambient rejoice.』
(Good groove, great listen) 『From start to finish, Plaid's 'Double Figure' is a solid album with a classic ambience. A thouroughly enjoyable experience, I reccomend it to anyone with complex taste, for a good listen.
Warning; Album contains a good dose of slightly fruity sounding "classic" synth, interspersed with solid grooves and amazingly crisp sonic textures.』
(Radiohead is NOT dead you moron.) 『Ok that reviewer who said Radiohead's "Amnesiac" cd was sad, you seriously need to fine tune your taste in music some more. Because it's a fact that that cd was one of the best to ever come out, and it still remains a classic to this day. Amnesiac rules, deal with it like a man and shut up.
Plaid are at the top of their game with this brilliant effort, and all of those nay-sayer reviewers that have bashed this cd, well it's quite obvious they have absolutely no idea what they are talking about. Calling Plaid a "second rate Autechre" only proves further that you're an idiot, of course Autechre is better than Plaid but that's not the point here. The point is, Plaid is good and if you are a fan of electronic ambience, get this cd.』

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (More of the same from Jordan.) 『BOTTOM LINE:
Just more highlights from his career up to his first retirement and his comeback. Nothing that any fan doesn't know about. still fun to watch Jordan dominate tho! ;-)』
(Summed Up, Who MJ really is) 『I watched this movie during my first year of doing graduate study. It really moved me. Not only it tells us the story of how Michael achieve his greatness, but also how we can come back to achieve even more great accomplishments.
Combined with tremendous illustrative music, this video should put some buterflies into your stomach. Everybody would love to watch this movie. Even for a non basketball fan, I think this movie would still be a remarkable movie to watch.』
(AMAZING!) 『Being the MJ fan that I am, I have seen quiet a lot of movies about Jordan, and really I must say that this is one of the best, it has all those moves that just make MJ the great player that he is, I mean the way he moves with the ball, its just amazing, and unlike some other movies, this one doesnt waste long time on people talking, but shows what MJ is all about BASKETBALL.』
(It is the most Outstanding and unforgettable sports video) 『This video features a complete summary that documents Air Jordan's remarkable NBA career which I think nobody will ever achieve. It is just as great as Michael jordan's career. But the video is inclued in 'Ultimate Jordan' on DVD.』
(Good enough.) 『This video is brilliant for getting a general picture of the the career of the legend that is Michael Jordan. However if you are a MJ groupy like me and you've seen all of his previous vids then there isn't much in this that hasn't been seen before. Still a great video and a must buy for die hard MJ fans.』 『New to DVD! Update your NBA collection with this classic title with a new branded line look featuring one of the greatest athletes of all-time. From his days as a child in North Carolina to his retirement from the Chicago Bulls in 1999, His Airness takes you on a journey through Michael Jordan's career. Complete with spectacular highlights along with interviews from teammates, coaches and writers, plus Michael's own insight, this video captures the spirit, determination and championship drive of this global icon.』 『Once upon a time, a boy named Michael Jordan lived in Wilmington, North Carolina. Young Michael dreamt of becoming a professional basketball player. He began by participating in drop-in games with his brother, although at first he could not beat the older, heavier, more experienced sibling. As time went on, though, something grew inside of this child, a will and determination to beat anyone and anything that stood in the way of his success on the court. Playing basketball for his high school team, Jordan won a scholarship to the University of North Carolina. It was there that he first gave the world a glimpse of his greatness.
In a fitting tribute to this legendary player,His Airnessexamines the life of Michael Jordan, from his boyhood exploits to his final year in the NBA. This absorbing retrospective shows what made this man so remarkable: his constant quest for improvement. Even after his first retirement, in 1993, he returned to the court reborn, galvanized by a desire to win and to be on top of the game once again. He was a great ambassador and icon, as a number of basketball greats, from Magic Johnson to Isiah Thomas, testify to in interviews. Dignified, classy, determined, awesome, driven--there are not enough superlatives to describe what Jordan meant to the game of basketball and to sports in general. Legendary player Bill Russell summed it up best when he claims that the reason Jordan sustained his level of excellence was because "he was determined to be Michael Jordan every night."--Jeremy Storey』

An attemt is made to link them together, which is not entirely sucessfull. Also contains the 10 best plays in playoff history and a small documentary of the greatest game of all time (5th game 1976 finals between the celtics and the suns).

This video discusses many events, including Spud Webb's performance in the slam dunk championship, the 1984 playoff match between Pistons and Knicks, and the 1969 NBA Finals between the Lakers and Celitcs.

This video is a good selection for Celtic and Laker fans, as well as fans of 1980s basketball and the great battles in NBA history.』 『New to DVD.

(Cool toy but overpriced.) 『I think this dino is pretty cool, scares my three year old when its on but my son still screams with delight and fear which is so funny to watch. However I think the price of this is to high. I even bought mine at a the big mart store on clearance for $59.50 and think that is about where it should be full retail, anymore than that and it would not be worth it. I still think I spent a little to much for it. It walks very clumsily and noisily it really is difficult to direct in the fact that it can't back up, so it gets stuck on furniture and things but the buttons on the remote are pretty easy to use, my three year old can push them even if he's really not sure which does what. It is funny to watch the Dino while waiting for directions its almost the best part, it will yawn and stretch and growl and sit, waiting, and watching my sons face while the Dino did all that was hilarious. My son keeps asking for the "baby" one of these, and he was worried it was gunna "bite his finger off!" SO maybe a little to much for a 3 year old but on the other hand while its off he kept saying "Momma I'm so happy you bought me this". I hope is holds up he pushes it around and it makes crunching and clicking noises so I can just see this thing falling apart in a little while. I guess time will tell on that. I didn't think it looked as big either, as big as the display I had seen of it. The picture of it with the boy on the box I think made it look bigger that it actually is, I don't think it matters that its not as big as I thought it to be, its big enough. I also really like that it has a rechargeable battery for the Dino itself (not the remote) the remote control cars we have never get used because of the batteries that they go through so that is a really big plus with this Dino.』
(Fun Dino) 『This was a Christmas gift for a five year old boy, but even his 2 year old sister enjoyed it. Controls are simple, even a grown up can operate them. The battery life is ok...only occasionally did it need to be recharged while kids were still interested in playing with it.』
(MY SON LOVES IT!!!!!) 『I purchase the Spike dinosaur for my nine year old son. It was easy to put together. The price was very cheap compare to all the other stores I visit. My son had been wanting it for almost a year. Find a good price and had to get it for him. He share it with his two younger sisters.I will recommend it to my friends.』
(Great Buy!) 『I purchased this toy for my three year old grandson. One of the best toys I could possibly have purchased. He loves it as does all of his friends. I thought it very well made - great that the battery is rechargeable and I am sure he will have and enjoy it for years to come. Thank you.』 『Meet Spike, the dinosaur that kids bring to life at the touch of a button. He walks, he stands on his hind legs, he blinks, his mouth opens and closes, and his spikes even light up. You make it all happen with the easy-to-use remote control! Spike also makes lots of fun sounds, too. He growls, snorts, roars and more. Requires 3 "AA" alkaline batteries, not included.

The Good:Dynamic remote-control dinosaur with lights and sound effects
The Bad:Large size makes traveling with Spike tricky
In a Nutshell:An awesome new friend for imaginative kids
At a Glance
Ages:3 to 10 Requires:3 AA batteries
A Fearsome New Friend This awesome oversized, plastic dinosaur stands 27 inches tall, with textured green skin, a yellow underbelly, gnarly teeth, and plenty of serious spines--enough to make any young dino-enthusiast swoon. Before Spike is ready to roam the Earth, you'll need to snap his legs and tail into place. These pieces are color coded to prevent confusion, and the instruction booklet offers a nice illustration. Make sure all three connection points on each front leg are securely attached, otherwise he'll struggle to walk.
You'll also want to fully charge the included NiMH rechargeable battery before kids get their hands on this dinosaur, a process which may take up to four hours. With all the use Spike will be getting, you'll enjoy the long life of this power solution. The convenient wireless remote requires three AA batteries (not included) for operation.
Innovative and Easy to Control As soon as you turn him on, spikes on this long-necked dinosaur's back and tail light up, and he starts blinking his eyes. Big, kid-friendly buttons on the durable remote control let you make Spike walk forward, turn left or right, and swing his neck around. At first he can be a little tricky to maneuver, but with just a few moments of practice, he becomes incredibly easy to control.
Holding down any one of the four middle buttons unleashes a new action. Pick between having him stand on his hind legs, swinging his neck around while unleashing a huge roar, or hanging his head low. Another button controls the motion of his jaw. Practice combining movements to snatch up the plastic boulders off the ground or toss them in the air (a skill we never perfected). There's even a mystery button that lets Spike pick any motion he wants to perform. Press it again and again to get a sense of his playful nature. Two modes let you pick between having continuous background music accompany play or just hearing occasional growls, snorts, and roars.
Durable and Adventurous The well-crafted Spike was still going strong, even after our vigorous testing. We crashed him into table legs trying to make him crawl over obstacles that were just too high, and even though he might not have been happy about the way we dropped the remote control repeatedly, he kept right on doing all those dinosaur things that make him a fun addition to any family. While this ultra dinosaur held up well in the face of vigorous use, he could succumb to the rough reality of enthusiastic play and be damaged by children sitting on him or pulling apart his otherwise sturdy joints.
Spike's large size makes him a great outdoor playmate, but be sure to warn kids that, since he is battery-operated, he shouldn't play in streams or jump in puddles. Cooperative kids will love putting their heads together to think up new places for their friend dinosaur to explore. The height and length that make Spike so much fun may make it hard for smaller children to carry him around, especially if they are headed to a far off relative's house. While this dinosaur is recommended as a companion for children three through 10, even adults are likely to be charmed by Spike's fun-loving personality.
What's in the Box Dinosaur, remote control, 9.6V NiMH rechargeable battery, battery charger, two plastic rocks, and a plastic bone. 』

This one is a real winner! If you've seen Avatar, then you know how the intelligent, gentle, kind creatures are slaughtered wholesale by the massive Corporation's troops. Now you can help your kids prepare for the future by actually pretending they ARE the guys inside the robots that slaughter all these gentle creatures!
Now if you think that isn't the sort of fun your kids should be having, you might want to ask yourself: what sort of world am I preparing my child for? If s/he isn't ready to follow The Company's orders and kill who s/he is told to, while inside the giant transformerish robot suit all good modern children dream of wearing, then what sort of future are we really facing?
But hey, if your kid saw this movie and his biggest resultant desire is wanting to be the guys who commit genocide on an entire planet, perhaps your biggest concern isn't how poorly made this shoddy piece of plastic is.
But then, again...maybe it is!!
For the right parent, with the right kid, this toy is perfect!
But for those adults and children who HAVE actually seen this movie, please join me in wondering: who the heck came up with the idea for this toy? The same guy who was fired from his last firm for his strangely failed laughing, smiling Stalin doll?
To the boys at Mattelistan: take a look in the mirror, and then another look at Avatar, and then have a nice evening's sleep cuddling your idea of a kid's toy. Sweet dreams to all of you. And best of luck to your kids; they're going to need it.
And we wonder why our world is the way it is...

(Pretty Disappointing) 『When I first saw the Avatar movie, I couldn't help but think that it would be awesome to have an action figure of the mech from the movie. After I watched the movie for the second time, I had to go and get one. Boy was that a mistake. This thing was a disappointment and I wish I hadn't bought it. I mainly wanted it for display purposes, but it doesn't look very nice. It doesn't look the least bit metallic. In fact, it looks like a big hunk of cheap plastic. Another gripe that I had was that the weapons don't fit in the hands properly. The gun was very loose, and the knife just completely falls out. I don't see the point in having a removable knife if it can't even fit in the hand. The AMP suit also does not stand up very well. You have to position it perfectly or else it will fall over, and when it falls over, rest assured that at least one of the legs will fall off. Since I should try to say at least one positive thing, it was fairly easy to assemble. Even if you feel like you have to have one of these, I would recommend that you wait since another version of this is supposed to be released in the future. Hopefully, it will be a major improvement over this one.』
(Good product overall with some glitches.) 『I bought this for my son after seeing the movie. I was afraid of the quality because the packaging did not have windows and I would have to put it together. Not to worry. The assembly was not hard and it looks just like the picture on the box. The only con is the legs keep coming off. My son got to where he was playing without the legs on because of that. I solved that by putting a thin, long piece of grey duct tape around the top of the legs (wrap it around the whole body and both legs at least 2 times). It still has movement when you do this. He was very happy I came up with this idea instead of super glue. The gun is loose in his hand and the knife falls out of the other, but doesn't seem to bother my son. This is why I only gave it 4 stars.』
(Very Good Replica!) 『I was overall very impressed with this product. Although the leg broke, it is great for reanacting battle scenes. It arrives unassembled but I did not need the instructions to assemble it so it is very easy to assemble. I am planning to pick up the Thanator so I reanact the battle scene at the end of the movie! I had barely enough money to purchase the Amp Suit so I could not purchase the figure. I had to use my old Elizabeth Swan figure. I hope this reveiw helps!』 『Official Name: MK-6 Armored Mobility Platform Function: Ambulatory hydraulic armored weapons platform for military and civilian operations in hostile and toxic environments Field Names: AMP suit, "Iron Lady" Size and Weight: Thirteen feet in height, six feet wide.

Doreen Rapport and Matt Tavares have crafted a biography of this icon told through the visions of those who conceived of and created her, as well as the reflections of those for whom she represents the ideals of liberty and opportunity. In describing how the statue came to be, the book presents first person accounts by the various people involved, expressing their feelings, impressions, and commitment to the concept and creation of the Statue of Liberty. Readers will learn how De Laboulaye's vision inspired Bartholdi's design and in turn Gustave Eiffel's amazing feat of engineering. They will come to understand the backbreaking labor of the construction workers as described by Charles P. Stone, their supervisor, as well as the role played by Joseph Pulitzer, an immigrant himself, who realized the power of the symbol and through his newspaper, campaigned for contributions to build the pedestal. Young readers may be inspired to take action after reading the section about Florence De Foreest, a young girl from Metuchen, New Jersey, who sent Pulitzer her two pet roosters to sell to help pay for the pedestal. Included also are sections about Emma Lazarus' poem, written for an auction to help raise funds, and the reflections of Jose Marti, a journalist and Cuban immigrant, as he watched the celebrations when the statue was unveiled and dedicated. Lady Liberty - A Biography includes a list of statue dimensions and an historical time line and provides a unique perspective from which young readers can view this national symbol.』
(Books) 『Purchased Lady Liberty Biography as a birthday gift for a Statue of Liberty collector. She is thoroughly enjoying the book.』
(a lovely introduction to the Lady for kids) 『Lady Liberty- A Biography is just what it says, the story of the Lady from the time that she was first conceived, up to her completion and beyond, in the experiences of those that first saw her upon their arrival in the United States.
We start with Edouard de Laboulaye, a French professor of law in 1865, through the work of the sculptor Auguste Bartholdi, the engineer Gustave Eiffel, the poet Emma Lazarus and a number more. Some are very famous and some are surely unknown to us, but moving nevertheless. Those that dug the holes and those that gave their pennies...and their chickens...to see her completed. The story is told from the view point of 10 individuals who were involved with the Lady's construction, most stories spanning a two page spread, the text written in a narrow column, almost like poetry, and the rest taken up by the very beautiful illustrations of Matt Tavares.
A wonderful introduction to the Statue of Liberty for kids...but you adults will enjoy it as well, I promise.』
(Explaining How the Statue of Liberty Came to Be) 『LADY LIBERTY: A BIOGRAPHY is a wonderful crafted book written by Doreen Rappaport and illustrated by Matt Tavares that tells the story of the how the Statue of Liberty came to be created. The story is told in short poems spoken from the point of view of the people who made Lady Liberty and brought her to the United States. These people include Edouard De Laboulaye, Auguste Bartholdi, Marie Simon, Gustave Eiffel, Emma Lazarus, Charles P. Stone, Joseph Pulitzer, Florence De Forest, Jose Marti, and an introduction written by Doreen Rappaport. In some cases the biographical poems use the actual words of the people who spoke them. The end of the book has a few selected quotes from immigrants who legally came to the United States and passed by Lady Liberty, as well as a page full of the Statue of Liberty's measurements, and another page presented a timeline of important events in her creation and life. The book does an excellent job of illustrating how it was the people of France and the United States, and not the respective governments of those countries, who made the Statue of Liberty possible. The book is really well researched and is beautifully illustrated. I even learned something from reading this book; I didn't know that Liberty Island was originally called Bedloe's Island. LADY LIBERTY: A BIOGRAPHY is an excellent historical children's book.』
(A School Library Must-Have) 『Doreen Rappaport and Matt Tavares have created an incredibly beautiful and moving book in Lady Liberty: A Biography. Each page features the perspective of those involved in building and promoting the monumental Statue of Liberty, from Auguste Bartholdi the sculptor to Emma Lazarus, the poet that created the words that grace the bottom of the statue. The illustrations are absolutely beautiful and accompany the text perfectly. Also included are the dimensions of the statue and the important events surrounding Lady Liberty, from construction to completion.
This book is an must have for all library and school collections, never have I come across a better description of how the Statue of Liberty was created and the emotions it evoked in the many different people connected with her. I loved reading each page and savored the lovely illustrations. Though the size of a picture book and about the same length in pages, I think I involved myself for close to an hour while reviewing it. I really believe kids will love to read this book, especially if they've seen the Lady up close, and adults will enjoy it in the same way I have, savoring the facts and the illustrations alike. A lot of other bloggers have posted about this title, all positively as far as I can tell, and I'm certainly in agreement with them. Definitely a must-have!』 『A powerfully moving, authentic portrait of the Statue of Liberty, told through the eyes of those who created her and illustrated in glorious detail.
"Soon America will be one hundred years old. I share my dream of a birthday gift."
It begins in 1865 as a romantic idea, but ten years laterÃdouard Laboulayeâs dream catches fire and takes shape. Sculptor Auguste Bartholdi gives the dream the form of a lady, holding a torch to "enlighten the world." Engineers, plasterers, carpenters, coppersmiths â many of them immigrants â work together to turn the lady into a monument over 100 feet tall. Joseph Pulitzer calls on readers to help fund a pedestal, and hundreds send in nickels, dimes, and even roosters for the cause. Doreen Rappaportâs historically accurate, poetic vignettes and Matt Tavaresâs magnificent images remind us of the true origins of a nationalsymbol â and show that it took a lot of people to make the Lady.』

Junk.) 『Anybody tuned in, and turned on, by the old cubist, modernist UPA school of cartooning should avoid this amateurish dreck like the plague. For one thing, the hipper-than-thou text is incredibly annoying. Get this from your snooty author: "The retro family is a riot. Think of it as the quintessential 1960s sitcom family--but with each member suffering from Attention Deficit Order. Each family member is a turbo-charged nerd, self-centered in the extreme but with a weird patina of sugarcoating." That's the whole politically liberal tone of the book. It's not so much a celebration of Mid-Century art as a putdown of the 1950s and the family structure. Really weird. That could be acceptable if the art were any good. But it's garbage you wouldn't accept from a first-year student. It's an eyesore and way off the mark. Like a previous one-star review has noted, if you want to learn this kind of cartooning go to the original sources who had talent. Pick up the essential Cartoon Modern from Chronicle Books. It's chock-full of great art with informative text. Then study old UPA cartoons like Mister Magoo, and some of Ward Kimball's cartoons for Walt Disney. A good compilation would be Beer Commericals from Something Weird Video, which has great 30-second commericals from TV's early years. Retro artists like Shag and Derek Yaniger are current masters of this style. Chris Hart grinds out these crude books like sausage. Some are okay. Some belong in the round file. This is one of them.』
(Good art book.) 『I will admit, I hate most Christopher Hart books. But this one is quite unique. It's not trying to impersonate a style like anime or manga. It's reviving a very unique style of art referred to as "retro".
I love this book because this is definitely my style. But the style in this book (and some of the advice) is quite limiting. Cartoons like Kim Possible, Danny Phantom, and to a lesser extent Teen Titans the animated show really show off the retro style evolved to a great extent.
I would definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for a unique style beyond anime, manga (which I happened to draw all the time before this book), and Marvel Comics.
But it definitely would be good to have a basic understanding of anatomy, since this book does not go into it really at all.』
(Cartoon Cool) 『Great examples of retro-style characters. Give detailed explanation on how to build up the character and create new ones.』
(Want to Know How To Draw Retro? This Is Your Book!!!) 『If you are looking to change your cartooning style or just want to learn how to draw "retro" styled cartoons, this is your book! Christopher Hart teaches you how to draw retro-styled cartoons by comparing the classic style and the retro style so you can pinpoint where you need to draw differently to achieve that retro look.
As always, a great learning guide for the beginner or the experienced cartoon artist.』
(Thank you Mr. Hart!!!) 『This is another great title from Christopher Hart. In this book, he takes a look of some of the cartoons and animation that is popular today. This seems to be an era of the "retro" look and feel and Mr. Hart uses this book as a resouce to explore and teach these cool cartooning techniques!
Gift this book to yourself or the retro cartoon fan in your life! 』 『Love that Sponge Bob? Always lurking in Dexters lab? Wishing for Fairly Odd Parents? Millions of fans watch these shows avidly, often solely for their zingy, stylized look and hip visual jokes. Now theres a drawing book just right for everyone who admires that quirky style: Cartoon Cool. Top-selling author Christopher Hart shows beginning cartoonists, retro fans, and all other hipsters how to get that almost-1950s look in their drawings.
