Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Superb performances in both languages. Buy it twice!) 『`Berlin Cabaret Songs' by Ute Lemper are issued as part of London recording company's `Entartete Musik' series or music suppressed by the Third Reich. One of the very best things about this issue is the fact that Ms. Lemper and London have issued the album in two versions. One is in the original German and one is sung entirely in English.
For starters, I strongly suggest you listen to both, but if you simply have no interest in listening to the German version, I will reassure you that the English performance is musically virtually identical to the German. The instrumentals almost sound as if they were done Kareoke style, with Ms. Lemper's English or German mixed in afterwards. I'm almost certain this was not actually done, as the translations probably changed a few things here and there about the meter of the lyrics, but I could find nothing in the instrumental or vocal performances to prefer in one over the other, except for the genuine experience of hearing it the same way as the cabaret audiences in Berlin would hear it.
Ms. Lemper's English interpretations, as they are in all her earlier albums, is impecible. It also seems to be about as accent free as you can imagine. Not only is it free of German inflections, it is free of a British accent as well, so it should sound great to American ears.
The first thing which strikes me about the lyrics of these songs is that to my ear, there is practically nothing which is critical or even satiric of a specific government. There is not even much which is sexually explicit, let alone lewd. Some pieces from Kurt Weill in `Mahagonny' may be more objectionable than most songs in this album. One thing that tells us is exactically how extremely conservative the Nazis were about any art whatsoever. The most strident politically oriented song is in favor of women's rights and makes no mention of the Nazi government or any other political party for that matter.
The only weakness of the album may be that virtually all this material is unfamiliar to the average listener, so we don't have the pleasure of seeing how Ms. Lemper does a new version of, for example, `Bilbao Song' or Jacques Brel's `Amsterdam'. But then, I relish any chance whatsoever to hear Ms. Lemper sing. She is still fresh and free of the kind of syrupy sweetness we get from, for example, Barbra Streisand, these days from her `Guilty Pleasures' album. 』
(Ute, Ute, what would we do without you (and these songs)?) 『This album is absolutely to DIE for! These songs, as everyone knows, are still very effective today, so it is schocking to think that they were first written in the 1920s and `30s. But when you are supressed (like the Germans were during this time) things come out. The rousing anthems on this album run the gamut from gay pride ("The Lavender Song") to women's rights ("Chuck Out the Men!") and everything in between. There are also wistful, beautiful (yet unsentimental) numbers like "I Don't Know Who I Belong To" and "A Little Yearning," though there is still enough room for sentimental propaganda, like in the very moving "Munchhausen." Ute's duet with herself, "When the Special Girlfriend," a lesbian pride song, is a hoot! Then there are the stinging, biting social commentary songs, like "It's All a Swindle" and "The Smart Set," which is one of the best satirical songs I've ever heard. The funniest song on the album is, without a dought, "Maskulinum-Femininum," which cracks me up every time. Getting these classic songs in English is a real treat, as it helps them speak to a larger (maybe) audience. Thank you, thank you, thank you Ms. Lemper, for this excellent album! The world is a better place because of it!』
(These songs have not lost their pertinence or their punch.) 『Ute Lemper, perhaps the pre-eminent European cabaret singer of our day, does a brilliant job putting across these songs. While songs such as"I Am a Vamp"come across as snazzy, funny period pieces, others--"It's All a Swindle,""Chuck Out the Men,""The Lavender Song,"and"Munchhausen"--have lyrics which are just as pertinent and biting in Y2K America as they were in 1930 Berlin. (That doesn't speak well for today's society, needless to say.) These songs--and Lemper's performances of them--are like brilliant mirrors held up to reveal the hypocrisy of the Weimar Republic. If you can bear the shock of recognizing yourself in them, this CD is for you.』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Wickedly evil dialogue fills this movie) 『I'm a long-time fan of this film and I finally took the time to read all the reviews and comments already here at Amazon to find out what others thought. Usually I don't add reviews to a film with an existing body of comments, feeling I have little to add to what others have already said, but in this case I'm making an exception.
One actor commented in another review that the performances come across as a cold read. While I agree with that opinion of some of the performances, acting is not my forte. I'm a writer and my appreciation of this film is for the wonderful script. If you like your comedy dark and uncompromising, (think Heathers) then you will enjoy some of the crackling and sarcastic dialogue waiting for you in this story.
The plot itself isn't designed to bring compelling comparisons to Citizen Kane. The characters are ignorant, easily manipulated, individuals. Contented and in some cases arrogantly complacent people have their lives turned upside down by the arrival of a trailer-trash backwater tramp. It's a common enough contrivance to twist the "fish out of water" plot, but Ricci plays her part as one who is better prepared for her new environment than those that already call it home. Her performance is a tour de force and this film was the exact transitional point in her career that allowed her to move from the "goth child" whimsy of her early films into the sexier and more adult fare she tends to favor today. Her acting is actually a cut above what she delivers in films like Monster, where she at times seemed almost in awe of her costar. Here she takes center stage and the only real competitor in sight is Lisa Kudrow, who gives an uneven but wickedly sharp-tongued turn.
An example of the dialogue I referenced earlier is provided by Kudrow in fact. Early in the film, Ricci announces she has become pregnant by her brother's gay lover. Kudrow turns to the brother and says, "I thought you were gay!" He informs her that he is bisexual and without missing a beat Kudrow retorts, "Oh PLEASE! I went to a Bar Mitzvah once and it didn't make me Jewish!" Her delivery of this line is full of such venom that half of the audience I saw it with was deeply offended while the other half, myself included, burst out in loud and approving laughter.
Such is the nature of black comedy. It walks the fine line between offense and hysteria. When it misses the mark, as is often the case in lesser scripts, the entire film suffers. When it finds the balance it delights as many people as it offends. Such is the case with The Opposite of Sex. The majority of reviewers here have adored the crisp dialogue, and a vocal minority found themselves offended or lost.
Amazon recently dropped the price of this movie and while the older $20 price tag may have made it a risky choice for someone who hasn't already seen the film, at the new lower cost it's worth every penny to give this movie the chance it deserves. If nothing else, it's a chance to watch a young talent make the successful transition into adult-flavored roles that have eluded so many other child actors and actresses. 』
(8-)) 『Loved this movie! Might not be for everyone though . Amazing acting and great story.』
(3 stars out of 4) 『The Bottom Line:
A well-written and quirkily amusing comedy, The Opposite of Sex is highly recommended for anyone sick of watching the same formulaic comedies again and again and again.』
(The opposite of sex.) 『Christina Ricci is wonderful in this early movie. Some reviewers have criticized the performance of Lisa Kudrow, but I thought she added greatly to the story line.』
(Young Woman Wreaks Havoc) 『"The Opposite of Sex" is an interesting off-beat 1998 film that looks at life scenarios involving imperfect people that turn dramatic. The narrator of this story, Dede, played by Christina Ricci, has an axe to grind, presumably due to her unpleasant childhood. As the movie opens, we see Dede desecrate her step-father's casket at his funeral with a cigarette. She leaves the funeral early, and we see her jump into a convertible driven by Randy "One Ball" Cates, an outspoken born-again Christian with one testicle with whom she is romantically involved.
Upset with her family situation, she seeks out a living space with her much older gay half brother, played by Martin Donovan, a teacher named Bill who inherited a large some of money from his deceased boyfriend, Tom, who died of AIDS. Tom's sister Lucia (pronounced "Lew-shuh"), played by Lisa Kudrow, who works as a teacher at the same high school as Bill and introduced Tom to Bill, and Lucia is now a constant presence in Bill's life.
When Dede arrives at Bills house, Bill's boyfriend Matt, played by Ivan Sergei, opens the door for her. Within a few weeks of living there, Dede seduces Matt and then tells him that she is pregnant with his baby. Matt concludes he is bisexual and becomes supportive of Dede, breaking up with Bill, who feels mistreated.
Lucia and Bill are the moral compasses in this story. They are the reliable ones with the rightful claim to Tom's money, and they make sure everything turns out alright in the end.
However, everything doesn't turn alright in the end for everyone. The greedy and cavalier personalities of Dede, Matt, and Randy act as a sort of "axis of evil" when Matt and Randy get sucked into Dede's manipulative games. Dede, pregnant and emotionally unstable, is vulnerable on one hand, yet her selfish actions on the other hand ruin the lives of those to whom she should be kind.
Dede has very little conscience. Few people in real life could seem to be this mean. Yet "The Opposite Of Sex" is a caricature of how cavalier and greedy people can screw up the situation for kind and caring people.
This is a touching story because the scenario begins so normal. Then a vulnerable character, Dede, unravels a delicately strung situation into a mess for everyone. Yet in the end, things start to work themselves back out. For example, the whole dramatic scenario created by Dede helps Sherriff Carl Tippett, played by Lyle Lovett, to seek the courtship of Lucia by becoming involved with the legal scenario that Dede creates. With Matt's help, Dede steals Tom's money and Tom's ashes, which rightfully belong to Bill and Lucia, and law enforcement gets involved. Bill and Lucia turn out to be the winners in the end by having the comfort of a clear conscience.』 『Christina Ricci had a great year in 1998. The young actress continued to cast off her youthful image from theAddams Familymovies and made a big splash on the independent movie scene, especially in this scathingly witty comedy in which Ricci has the central role. Here she plays Dedee, a buxom, sexually precocious teenager who's pregnant, cynical, and looking for a volunteer father for her unborn child. This takes her to the home of her gay half-brother (Martin Donovan) whose current lover (Ivan Sergei) becomes Dedee's latest target for seduction. That's just the start of the mischief that Dedee so masterfully orchestrates, and Lisa Kudrow (from TV'sFriends) is also on hand to deliver some of the movie's most quotable dialogue while fending off the affection of a local policeman played by Lyle Lovett. If all this sounds rather sordid, rest assured that the movie's got a warm heart (well, sort of) beating beneath all of its sharp-edged sarcasm. Writer-director Don Roos (Single White Female) injects most of the movie's appeal and humor through Dedee's voice-over narration, which constantly reminds us that even the most familiar movie clichés can be cleverly overturned. As a result,The Opposite of Sexis the opposite of boring.--Jeff Shannon』

It briefly teaches a few basic moves, but does not go into any advanced moves. Actually, this tape is geared more for women who have no idea of how to dance erotically. For more instruction, I'd recommend "The Art of Sensual Dance" by Susan Bremer. This tape does give some good ideas on erotic dancing, but not enough time is dedicated to the actual movements of the dance.』
(THE BEST EROTIC DANCE VIDEO ANYWHERE) 『By Eddy, LA CA
Synopsis: An instructional video entirely devoted to teaching women how to find and release the sexual goddess within using affirmations and hot moves.
Our Review: In a society that is so focused on the 'perfect' body and supermodel looks, this video concentrates on restoring a woman's sexual confidence and teaching her how to do enticing moves and routines.
Instead of jumping right into difficult strip club moves, the host first guides the viewer through some relaxation and self awareness exercises. Instead of sounding too cheesy and fake, these exercises actually concentrate on reassuring a woman that no matter her shape, she is still a WOMAN, with all the perks that go with it.
I was incredibly skeptical when opening the DVD case and putting the disc into the player. After a child and some extra weight, I have a hard time feeling sexy. My self image has never been the best, and despite my better intentions, it's hard for me to just let go sometimes. After simply going through the first exercises with an open mind, I found myself feeling better about myself and being a woman. Add to that the fact that not all the women in the video have perfect figures and I immediately felt better about trying this new idea.
The moves, separated into lower and upper body segments, are simple enough to follow and done in a manner that encourage you to modify them to fit your shape and flexibility. You are taught that the dance itself is for your pleasure as well as his, because you get to revel in the positive attention that is completely directed at you and your body. Imperfections are allowed, even welcomed.
You also get to see two dances from beginning to end to help you design your own. Props and clothing are addressed, as well as ways to remove some clothing that might otherwise be awkward. A music CD is included in the case, to give you some music options to choose from and take cues from when picking from your own library.
Taking cues from the DVD, I started SLOW with one or two moves just as we were preparing for bed. Ranger loved the tiny teases and has given me the impetus to try more of a routine in the months to come. What a rush, seeing the look in his eyes!
This DVD is quite possibly the most important part of a woman's sensual collection. Anytime she wants to plan a special night with her love, the first thing on her list should be to watch this movie or prepare moves she learned from watching this movie. Not only are they pretty much guaranteed to make him drool, but she will feel like a Venus, even in an apron and oven mitts. Hey, anything can become a costume!』 『NEW EXCLUSIVE AMAZON PRICE - SAVE 20% - VHS AND FREE DANCE MUSIC CD SET - Capture His Passsion - Discover the art of seductive dance that works for every woman. Learn to strip your way to a better body image, improve your sexual self-confidence and feel like a sensual woman anytime you want.

It was such a letdown. Our old VHS copy is a better quality than this DVD. We thought that the DVD version would be much clearer and better sound quality. That couldn't have been further from the truth. We're very disappointed, and quite frankly disappointed that Amazon is even selling this DVD. Don't waste your money - worst quality DVD I've ever seen.』
(McClintock) 『this is a great product. Movie quality was excellent, as well as can be with an old movie. And I received my order within just a few days!!』
(JW World) 『This is a finely focused and astute script turned into a funny, touching, honest film...riding on the iconic shoulders of John Wayne. Under the mostly bubbling surface lay some deep themes that are exposed but not dwelt upon. Comedy seems to work best when there is a semi-tragic base for it to take flight from. If you are of a certain age and grew-up in John Wayne World then this film will be a real treat.』
(DO NOT BUY THIS VERSION) 『The Good Times version of McLintock was of atrocious quality. It ruined the entire experience. THis version should not be sold unless there is a disclaimer of the poor quality.』
(One of the Duke's Best) 『No, you could never get away with making a film like MCCLINTOCK! during these politically correct times--a Western version of Shakespeare's timeless 'The Taming of the Shrew' complete with its female lead character being publicly humiliated (meaning she gets spanked). NOW would never let something like that happen these days, even when presented in good clean fun and with tongue firmly in cheek, which is what lends such rustic charm to this John Wayne classic.
Wayne plays G.W. McClintock, a rancher/entrepreneur who, after years of hardship building his cattle empire, is now living the high life. The beautiful Maureen O'Hara plays Mrs. McClintock who, now that she's been exposed to eastern culture and living, finds her husband crude, obnoxious, and boorish--yet still loves him. The chemistry between the two (as it is in all their films together) comes as easy as breathing air; in fact, Wayne wears this role like an old glove: in every scene he is exceedingly comfortable. The two of them are pure fun to watch.
But what is more enjoyable about MCCLINTOCK! is its plethora of other speaking roles, all of them done well. Some of my favorites include Chill Wills, Jack Kruschen, Patrick Wayne, Stefanie Powers, Strother Martin, Jerry Van Dyke, Yvonne De Carlo, and Big John Hamilton (as you can tell, this film contains lots of characters). MCCLINTOCK! is a sprawling, feel-good Western that is definitely one of The Duke's best--even though its misogynist bent might offend those who are a little sensitive. --D. Mikels, Author, The Reckoning』 『Movie DVD』 『John Wayne's most popular vehicle of the 1960s is a broad, boisterous comedy-Western and a family movie in every sense--in subject matter, casting, personnel, and the audience it aims to bear-hug. Wayne and hisQuiet Manpartner Maureen O'Hara reprise their large-boned lovers' quarrel in a Wild West variation onThe Taming of the Shrew, while a cast of familiar supporting players do their best to avoid becoming collateral damage.
The picture is fascinating as an attempt to adjust and update the Duke as all-American icon. Rancher George Washington McLintock owns most of the town that bears his name, but James Edward Grant's screenplay is at didactic pains to establish the benevolence and socio-political enlightenment of his reign. G.W.'s former Indian foes have become his pals, he enjoys nothing so much as playing chess with his Jewish merchant buddy (Jack Kruschen), and he's tolerant--as his fellow landowners are not--of the homesteaders crowding into the territory. In what now seems like prescience about where things were headed in the 1960s, he even does his best to achieve rapport with (gasp!) impatient youth.
McLintock!was the first movie produced by eldest son Michael Wayne, and the first major assignment for director Andrew V. McLaglen (son ofQuiet Mancostar Victor). It steals like a bandit from a host of much better movies, but the Duke's great good humor and professionalism redoubtably anchor the proceedings.--Richard T. Jameson』

Are they looking for a new life or running from life? Or both? From the opening shot of an empty desert highway stretching to the horizon, we intuitively know that the end of the road is coming.
Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon are terrific as two lost souls trying to take control. At times bitter and angry, this is a feminist manifesto that forces the viewer to ride along on this fatalistic trip to the edge and beyond.
Ridley Scott's superb eye and confident direction give writer Callie Khouri's compact screenplay the emotional sheen it needs to keep the viewer aligned with the protagonists.
We think, if we could only love them, then everything will be OK. We feel the damage and abuse they have suffered and are sympathetic to their dilemma. But it's too late. They have made up their minds to take us over the edge and it is horrible and beautiful. Ahhh, sweet release.
This has been called the first mainstream lesbian hit film. (R, widescreen, 129 minutes)』
(Spoiler Warning--Don't read this if you don't want to find out what happens!) 『Three things in this movie are unbelievably stupid--the two main characters and the plot. Let's see--a girl spends the whole night flirting with a guy, then he gets nasty in the parking lot and--with the help of her friend--she pushes him away. End of story, right? No--friend pulls out a gun and shoots the guy who is no longer a threat to either of them. Ok--temporary insanity--not really self-defense, but they can probably get away with calling it self-defense. Instead, no, they run away. During their "trek" Gina Davis becomes such an imbecile and so annoying the viewer almost wants to commit an act of violence against her. (she sleeps with a stranger and then leaves him alone in a hotel room that happens to contain all of her best friend's money.) Sarandon's character, by contrast, is smart and likable--smart, that is, at least until she decides to take a seven-hour detour around Texas because she does not want to be in a state where something traumatic once happened to her. Okay, understandable, to a point--but no. Someone who is fleeing for her life doesn't have time for that kind of sentimentality. And she has her (albeit moronic) friend to think of too. Anyway, between the two of them they make sure that there is absolutely no way they'll succeed, and sure enough they don't.
A feminist movie? Are people kidding? If I wanted to hate women, and think "after all women are idiots", I'd watch this movie.
And come on. The "women good, men bad" business is a little old by now, don't you think? The absurdity of the male stereotypes in this film is pathetic.
And finally, the story isn't even interesting.
If you want a movie about people rebelling against conformity or whatever, and trekking across America while doing so, watch Transamerica. Not flawless by any means, but the characters are all adults (as no one is here) none of them is a cardboard stereotype (as everyone is here) and the story is interesting and believable.』
(A classic of nevermore-to-be-thwarted femininity) 『A classic of nevermore-to-be-thwarted femininity
I have been hearing cultural references to this film for years, and finally broke down to see it. I thought that it would be a silly female version of the buddy/road film. But I was mistaken. Eighteen years after its release, "Thelma and Louise" is still a powerful and comic indictment of the swinish side of the American male. Just about every guy in the T&L is a boor -- the loutish, self-centered husband, the non-committing, violence-prone boyfriend, the predatory rape-ready good ol' boy, the betraying hustler, the disrespectful, disgusting trucker and male-dominated law enforcement. Every stereotype of the underbelly of US masculinity is on parade and is deliciously dispatched by the unlikely heroines of the film. Thelma and Louise represent femininity looking for a little respect and freedom, and finding none, blazing a pushback trail through the American Southwest. T&L is very well acted (Geena Davis, Susan Sarandon, Harvey Keitel and Christopher MacDonald are standouts), fabulously written, and believable. In spite of the serious subject matter, the film is uplifting and often hilarious. A winner.』
(Not Baise-moi but...) 『A tragic comedy of two mainly female loving kissing each other and their interactions with a real world on a beautiful landscapes of Grand Canyon and blue-sky US.
There is something in this work. 』
("Movies Don't Get Any Better Than This!") 『1991 was an amazing year for movies; everything from "The Silence of the Lambs" to "The Prince of Tides" entertained audiences, but that year one film became a true classic-a film many regard as one of Hollywood's best-"Thelma and Louise". Written by Callie Khourie, who recieved an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay, "Thelma and Louise" tells the tale of two best friends who go to the mountains for a weekend getaway, but a stop at a roadside bar changes their plans and lives forever. Escaping the police, Thelma and Louise encounter many characters on their cross-country journey, as they head to Mexico and a new life. Heavily regarded as one of the best buddy films ever made, the film is really a woman's picture, telling the story of how women are just as good as men, and how men can be arrogant, pompous, and abusive toward their female counterparts. I love this film. Brad Pitt had his first mainstream role in this, and both Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis received Oscar nods for their performances. The DVD is filled with bonuses; there's four documentaries on the movie, audio commentaries with director Ridley Scott, the two stars, and the writer, and the treasure here are 30 minutes of newly discovered deleted scenes found by the studio. A wonderful comedy/drama, "Thelma and Louise" never ages...it gets better as the years go by. An ageless film in every sense.』 『A waitress and a housewife try to get away from their boyfriend and husband for a weekend but instead end up on a crosscountry crime spree. Genre:Feature Film-Action/Adventure Rating:R Release Date:7-SEP-2004 Media Type:DVD』 『Thelma&Louiseis a feminist manifesto writ large on the big screen, a smart and funny gender reversal of the standard Hollywood buddy formula, a road movie extraordinaire, with characters who became instant cultural icons. No matter how you define it, Ridley Scott's 1991 box-office hit pinched a nerve and made the cover of national news magazines for tweaking gender politics like no movie before or since. Callie Khouri's screenplay overhauls the buddy formula with its story about two best friends (Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis) who embark on a liberating adventure that turns into an interstate police chase after a traumatic incident makes both women into fugitives; they are en route to a destiny they could never have imagined. The perfect casting of Sarandon and Davis makesThelma&Louisea movie for the ages, and Brad Pitt became an overnight star after his appearance as the con-artist cowboy who gives Davis a memorable (but costly) night in a roadside motel.--Jeff Shannon』

(Simultaneously, a dated cultural artefact and a hugely thoughtful deconstruction of modern life) 『This is one three-hour film that needs its entire running time to make its point. I have to confess that, with the sole exception of Nights of Cabriria, I am not a big Fellini fan, so I approached this film with some misgivings. And the first hour, which includes some dreadful parodies of American movie stars and British journalists speaking very wooden English, begins to feel excruciating. It's this first hour, too, that plays into all the "Felliniesque" cliches, with the big-busted Anita Ekberg and the Bacchanalian party scene. All this "swinging Rome" stuff seems pretty dated. But then there's a point suddenly at which Fellini's overriding structure for this film - successive nights of partying and dissipation forming a sort of downward spiral in the life of the protagonist - becomes clear and the film becomes increasingly engrossing. The film begins to rise above being a sensational cultural artefact of the 1960s into a real portrait of a disintegrating Italian society that seems timeless and important. In these successive nights, Marcello Mastroianni's character parties with pseudo-intellectuals and decadent aristocrats and fails to make emotional bonds, except for one small, quiet conversation with a teenage girl in a roadside cafe that ends up being, perhaps, his only one moment of real connection with anyone in the entire film. As a reporter, meanwhile, he also spends one night witnessing a mob scene at the site of a purported "miracle" (a sighting of the Virgin Mary) that nicely lacerates religion, the working classes who feed on it, and media hysteria, all in one astonishing set-piece that Spielberg clearly looked at when designing the end of Close Encounters. Visually, La Dolce Vita is misleadingly bland and even a bit cheap-looking in its opening scenes, but, starting with the late night odyssey through Rome with Anita Ekberg, it suddenly develops a real visual poetry and vocabulary all its own. It's that rare film that seems to grow in importance and depth as it progresses towards an elliptical ending of surprising impact. I'm still not a huge Fellini fan, but this one I like.』
(Excellent film, deplorable commentary) 『The film is fascinating, and the remastering and restoration excellent. What a shame, then, that Mr. Schickel's commentary is so persistently banal, doing little more (when it's accurate) than stating the obvious. The film deserves a much more distinguished critique than this.』 『Movie DVD』 『At three brief hours,La Dolce Vita, a piece of cynical, engrossing social commentary, stands as Federico Fellini's timeless masterpiece. A rich, detailed panorama of Rome's modern decadence and sophisticated immorality, the film is episodic in structure but held tightly in focus by the wandering protagonist through whom we witness the sordid action. Marcello Rubini (extraordinarily played by Marcello Mastroianni) is a tabloid reporter trapped in a shallow high-society existence. A man of paradoxical emotional juxtapositions (cool but tortured, sexy but impotent), he dreams about writing something important but remains seduced by the money and prestige that accompany his shallow position. He romanticizes finding true love but acts unfazed upon finding that his girlfriend has taken an overdose of sleeping pills. Instead, he engages in an ménage à trois, then frolics in a fountain with a giggling American starlet (bombshell Anita Ekberg), and in the film's unforgettably inspired finale, attends a wild orgy that ends, symbolically, with its participants finding a rotting sea animal while wandering the beach at dawn. Fellini saw his film as life affirming (thus its title,The Sweet Life), but it's impossible to take him seriously. While Mastroianni drifts from one worldly pleasure to another, be it sex, drink, glamorous parties, or rich foods, they are presented, through his detached eyes, are merely momentary distractions. His existence, an endless series of wild evenings and lonely mornings, is ultimately soulless and facile. Because he lacks the courage to change, Mastroianni is left with no alternative but to wearily accept and enjoy this "sweet" life.--Dave McCoy』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Get it!) 『Astroglide has really made a name for itself since its introduction in 1991, and it is now one of the top-selling personal lubricants. Well, it's easy to see why! Astroglide is a water-based lubricant, which means that it is friendly to your body, your toys and your condoms, and it is easy to clean up.
Also, some lubricants I have run across have a very odd or bitter taste, which can be distracting during one-on-one time, but Astroglide has a bittersweet taste that, while not great, is definitely not bad. So, if you want a great water-based lube, then join the throng, and get Astroglide! I highly recommend it!!
FYI: In general, there are three types of lubricants and each has its pros and cons. Water-based lubes are easy to cleanup and are unlikely to cause yeast infections, but on the down side they do need to be renewed every half hour or less due to drying. Oil-based lubes tend to have maximum slipperiness and last longest, but can lead to yeast infections and tend to break down latex condoms and toys quite quickly. Silicone-based lubes fall in between these two, being slicker and longer lasting than water-based lubes, but they do require longer clean up times, can stain sheets and clothing, and will eventually break down silicone toys. 』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (oOo) 『I decided to try a rabbit after much speculation...when I got it I was a little skeptical. But once I tried it, I was in love! I very much suggest this, it's amazing.』
(incredible) 『I love love love the platinum luv rabbit...the shaft is very thick and the rotating beads are AMAZING...although i wish the first vibe setting wasn't as strong...but i do like the fact that i have the power to have it rotate and vibe or just one or the other you can also change the direction of the rotating beads. this is my first toy and i am SO glad i bought it...its incredible』
(GREATT!!!) 『I think the item is wonderful! It didn't take long for me to reach my level of excitement!!! 2 Thumbs up!!!』
(LOVE this Platinum Rabbit - Fabulous - Fun - Exhilarating!) 『I have always heard about the rabbit and finally after many, many months of girl talk about how fabulous their bunny devices are.......AND after watching the sex and the city episodes of peter rabbit, I finally engaged my eager curiosity to purchased this item. After 4 years of being in a relationship, I decided to spruce things up for 'myself' (my bf got jealous of my last vibrator and it went missing shortly after LOL). There's just certain things a man cannot do.....no offense!
I was amazed of size at first -- it was bigger than I thought. It's not King Kong big, but it's not for the inexperienced user either. The controls are very easy to use and very accessible. I love the different speeds of vibrations. The rotational beads are a PLUS My Goodness! The shaft is.....WOOT! The Bunny Ears almost made me climb off the bed and up the walls with the intense clitoral stimulation. I like that I have the options to use either vibrations or rotation beads or both! I can't believe I've waited this long to get this vibrator. Instead of the other rabbits I opt to try the platinum because of the ratings and the price was right on Amazon! I climaxed like I haven't in years! Unexpected amounts of love juice spurting vociferously from me --- this Bunny is a Keeper! It's one of my most fun, fabulous, and exhilarating vibrator I have ever had. Rubber/new smell should fade eventually. Easy to clean. Sturdy. Delivery was quick and packaging was discrete/private. I highly recommend it.
』 『The Platinum Luv Rabbit Vibe is a pure clear vibe that offers not only a deep penetration but clitoral stimulation as well. It has a clear 6.5" insertable shaft containing rotating metal beads that provide intense stimulation. There are 6 different levels of rotation speeds. The multi-speed vibrating rabbit wraps it's ears tight around your clit for incredible clitoral stimulation. Each of these features are independently controlled on the base of the vibe. 4 AA batteries are required to use the vibration feature, but not included.』

I had tried another olive brine substitute at a local watering hole but was very unimpressed. I could make better salt-water on the stove. My favorite bartender had experienced disappointment after disappointment with similar products. She viewed my purchase as a waste of money when I told her that I had placed the Dirty Sue order. She just did not think a good dirty martini mix was out there to be found. We were both pleasantly surprised when the Dirty Sue shipment showed up.
This is not a fake, designed-in-a-lab product that kinda sort of tastes remotely like olives. This stuff is real. It is good. I highly recommend it to anyone who is trying to figure out a better use for all those dried out olive jars stuck in the back of the fridge...』
(Serves the purpose) 『If you're a fan of dirty martinis heavy on the dirty then this fills a need. I've had better olive juice and some worse.

(The best stuff on earth) 『Dirty Sue rocks! I'm a big dirty martini drinker, and this dirty mix has made a huge difference in taste for my dirty's. Others that I have made dirty's for also comment on the quality of this mix. The only downside is that now when I order dirty's at most restaurants, they pale in comparison... but I can live with that. ;-)』
(Perfect Dirty Martini Mix) 『Perfect for mixing dirty martinis. You won't run out of juice and have just olives left in the jar from the grocery store. A perfect addition to your bar supplies. Packaged very well. 』
(not bad, but not a must for a dirty martini) 『was also always running out of the juice from my jars of olives like most other dirty martini drinkers here. purchased 4 bottles about a month ago, still, the first bottle is there half way left. one thing is pretty clear- now that i have the olive juice home, i am starting to run out of olives- so if you still need to buy a jar of olives for a dirty martini, why bother to buy the juice on its own?』 『Dirty Sue was created by bartenders, for bartenders and home enthusiasts.

Sexuality counselor Eric Garrison's first book, Mastering Multiple Sex Positions, scrumptiously illustrates systematic methods to advance your bedroom experience. While spending years of guiding his clients through healthy integration of their sexual expression, Garrison was in his own process of integration, of sexual expression in this fresh how-to approach for satisfying sex. I opened the bright, royally colored book, taking my page-by-page, sweet time, my mouth slightly ajar. Pictures - the wonderfully arousing pictures - grace each section in explanatory detail. Closing my mouth at the sensation of salivation, I found my way to the couch, content to take my time getting to know the ins and outs of Garrison's work. His voice speaks loudest to the youthful heterosexual couple, which is echoed by the photographs. Garrison individually gauges the difficulty level in his suggestions for bodily intense sexual maneuvers. He also transitionally arranges sexual sequences to allow for optimal time, sensation, and intimacy for couples. In terms of value, the book is a treasure chest of enjoyment for couples looking to update, explore, and experience one another abundantly. Health professionals now have a new, refreshing tool to use in therapy, as well as to be taken home as homework for clients.

(Wonderful book for expanding anyone's sexual knowledge, beginner to advanced) 『This book is terrific. It has a wide range of sex tips and positions for everyone from beginners to advanced lovers. My partners and I have also really enjoyed the way that the author arranges suggested positions as well as transitions between them to make sexual encounters that include experimentation inspired by this book flow well and feel natural. I would recommend this book to anybody interested in learning more about sex, especially in terms of spicing up their erotic life with new takes on old positions as well as some challenging and rewarding new additions. Excellent sex book, a perfect addition to any sexual person's library. A+』
(Making Beautiful Music!!) 『From the moment I read the dedication: "To My Mom and Dad: This is what happens when you teach your toddler how to arabesque..." I knew I was in for some fun! Mr. Garrison uses musical metaphors throughout this beautiful book to entice readers to try new rhythms to set the tempo of their sex life. He constantly surprises by offering insights in a way that makes one pause, smile and want to share them! This is not just another sexual how-to manual. This is a book that celebrates sexuality as a way for couples to celebrate themselves. Bravo!!』
(A Winner!) 『Eric Garrison gives us a delightful book full of down-to-earth, practical advice for lovers. The writing is witty and wise with plenty of solid content from his clinical experience plus humor and levity because, after all, it is just SEX we're talking about--it's supposed to be fun. I'm finding the book thoroughly engaging, smart and loaded with plenty of things I didn't know about. As a sacred sex educator, I would recommend it to anyone interested in learning some new tricks and expanding their sexual repertoire.

(Excellent for Shared Reading!) 『Got this just to read in bed with my lover and it is definitely a hit! Lots of information is given in an informal, and entertaining manner. The "pictures" are all sketches, but get the point across well. We've had a blast trying out the suggestions and positions. Working our way through each chapter, one position at a time! Honestly, if you have a fair amount of sexual experience, there's not a whole lot of new stuff here, but it's still good, naughty fun! I really like that it takes the taboo out of anal play, for him and her. This is also the first book on the subject I've seen that talks about female ejaculation without making it sound freaky.
