It wasn't until Marilyn Manson became big with "The Beautiful People" when I was twelve that I liked that kind of music. Sure enough I would eventualy find grunge and start listening to bands like Soundgarden and Alice in Chains. For years I listened to this unaware of the greatness that was right under my nose. When I discovered Screaming Trees it was refreshing to hear something new but still great. During a time when Nirvana hit it big following the footsteps of great bands like Soundgarden and Screaming Trees people were looking for more energy and angst. Screaming Trees were on the other hand more mellow and focused more on song writing. Their music went over many peoples heads who were looking for dirty whiners because the media told them it was "cool". Not to get me wrong Nirvana made some good music but were very overated, and not to mention overplayed even to this day. This is why I can't listen to them anymore. Anyone who's sick to death of hearing "Smells Like Teen Spirit" check out Sweet Oblivion for a change of pace. Every track is filled with great song writing backed up by the second best grunge vocalist of all time.』
(Recovered from oblivion) 『This was no unknown band nor album when it was released, but through the years it got covered with a layer of dust. The song "I nearly lost" got stuck in my head and I still could remember the lyrics a decade after I heard the song for the last time.
When I tried to find the music, it proved very difficult. Apparently after this period the music gained an audience once more and this time the music has a timelessness character. No matter what people want to call it, it's good crafted music with fine lyrics. The first time you listen to it, it will strike your soul, guaranteed!』
(From a grossly underrated band, their best and most accessible effort.) 『This is the kind of CD you load up once, and then play for about eight or nine months. In a row. Happily. You think "Nevermind" or "Ten" were good albums? You'll love this then, especially if you have a little more Bob Mould than Soundgarden in your tastes. This is a more complex, melodic kind of album than straight-ahead rock or neo-punk, and you'll be rewarded with some really good hooks and much better lyrics to sing along to.

(Sweet Oblivion means we get to love them anyway) 『This album by the Screaming Trees contains their one big hit, "Nearly Lost You." I heard the rest of the album when I started dating the man who became my husband. It's still one of our favorites more than 13 years later.
It doesn't sound dated... it's not really "grunge." It's just really good rock. The Screaming Trees are not as well-known as some of their contemporaries, but that means those of us who are hip to them get to be in on something special. Pick this one up and join our club.』
(A must have for fans of 90's Seattle Music) 『Released in the fall of '92' "Sweet Oblivion" was Screaming Trees second album released under a major record label. One of the first songs they recorded for this album is "Nearly Lost You" which was to promote director Cameron Crowe's quirky Seattle love triangle movie Singles (1992). It's a pretty good song "Nearly Lost You" has a very catchy beat and some interesting drumming by Mark Pickerel who bailed on the band after the recording to "Nearly Lost You" was finished. "Shadow of the Season" is my other favorite song on this album, the songs sounds like a mix between bluegrass and rock. "More or Less" has this sinister slow rock sound to it. "Butterfly" my third favorite song had this calm and steady sound to it. "The Secret Kind" is a fast paced sound that reminds me of Led Zeppelin's "Rock 'n' Roll" and Ramones's "Blitzkrieg Bop".
』 『The Screaming Trees should've had it all, andSweet Oblivionis the album that should've given it to them. The Ellensburg, Washington, band's second major-label disc is as expert a set of pounding grunge and shifting moods as anything this side of Nirvana. But despite a set of brilliant hooks, intriguing lyrics ("Shadow of the Season," "Julie Paradise"), and Mark Lanegan's attention-getting vocals, it stopped short of going gold. Still, along with its belated follow-up,Dust, this is a masterwork of '90s hard rock.--Rickey Wright』

I didn't love this as much as some of their more political adult recordings, but this is very good. It would probably be a hit with parents and children.』
(Glorious a capella festival) 『Sweet Honey in the Rock is a magnificent a capella group of African-American women. This CD is mostly spirituals with a few African-inspired songs thrown in for good measure. It includes a short narration encouraging self-esteem. Though oriented toward African-American children, the glorious music can be enjoyed by everyone.』
(Fantastic) 『I purchased the CD for the title song "I Got Shoes". The other songs on the CD attracted my twin granddaughters. They enjoyed the counting songs in other languages and asked to hear it over and over. This was definitely a plus. If you are a fan of Sweet Honey in the Rock - you will love this CD. 』
(no skip overs) 『being the mother of 8 children it is hard to please everyone (ages 18 to newborn)in the car at the same time. this cd is one of the few cds we have that we do not skip over songs. we love this cd.』
(What a wonderful CD to give as a present!) 『I love giving this cd as a gift, to teachers or childcare providers, or new moms. It's kids' music you can stand to hear over and over (and some of us know just how rare that is), and feel good about exposing kids to traditions and musical concepts they might not otherwise encounter. We listen to the numbers songs in the car, we sing the shoo-fly song when we go walking--it's been a gift to my little family to have these songs added to our lives.』

These are mostly originals and have a more traditional bluegrass sound, with favorites such as "Tis Sweet To Be Remembered" and "Cabin In The Hills". The second CD is focused on their songs from the 1960's. Many of these songs enjoyed mainstream success, such as their TV themes for "Petticoat Junction" and "The Beverly Hillibillies. This side also includes many covers of artists such as the Carter Family, Johnny Cash and even the Lovin' Spoonful.
This is a collection of very accessible bluegrass and I enjoyed listening to it from the beginning. While Scruggs' talent on the banjo is beyond reproach, some bluegrass purists may be put off by the commerical corniness of certain songs from the 60's. The overall tone is one of fun playfulness and the songs may not stand the test of time as well as those by Bill Monroe and the Stanley Brothers. But their instrumentals, like "Foggy Mountain Breakdown", rank up their with the very best and this is certainly a fine collection of music well worth owning.』
(Bluegrass Legendary Originals) 『Back in the mid-1940s, when Bill Monroe&His Blue Grass Boys were just about the only well-known purveyors of music with deep roots in the traditional music brought over by Irish, Scottish and English immigrants, it was lumped in with "Hillbilly" or "Folk" - terms applied then to what became known as Country&Western and then simply Country.
In 1944 Monroe added guitarist/vocalist Lester Flatt and a banjo player who played that instrument with a three-finger roll developed by Appalachian musicians Rex Brooks, Smith Hammett and Snuffy Jenkins. And, just as the unique brand of music would become split off from mainstream Folk/C&W to become known as Bluegrass, after the name of Monroe's band, so too would the Earl Scruggs brand of picking become labeled the "Scruggs Style." In 1948 Flatt and Scruggs left Monroe to form The Foggy Mountain Boys, and it was this band that really brought Bluegrass, always a very popular but local taste, to new national attention.
A recording contract with one of the giants of the industry, Mercury, failed to produce a national hit, nor did a subsequent deal with another giant, Columbia, pay immediate dividends. But that would change as the decade of the 1950s drew to a close. In this magnificent 2-CD set, the first disc concentrates on some of their earliest releases from 1950 to 1959, only two of which made it into the national charts; `Tis Sweet To Be Remembered, which reached # 9 in February 1952 on what passed then as the Country charts, first introduced in 1944 (the B-side to that first hit, Earl's Breakdown, is also here); and Cabin In The Hills (also # 9 in the summer of 1959 b/w Someone You Have Forgotten (not here). Early in 1960 they followed that with Crying My Heart Out Over You, a # 21 b/w Foggy Mountain Rock (also omitted).
Mixed with these hits are 11 other Columbia singles that, while enjoying local popularity, never made the national charts, along with two previously-unreleased tracks (8 and 14). One of the failed cuts, Shuckin' The Corn (Columbia 40853 in 1957) would later be re-released in late 1960 as the B-side to Polka On A Banjo (# 12 in January 1961 on Columbia 41786). With one exception (track 9 - previously unreleased), every cut on disc 2 was a national hit, with tracks 4 to 13 in stereo:
Go Home - # 10 in late 1961; Just Ain't - # 15 in April/May 1962; The Legend Of The Johnson Boys - # 27 in June 1962; The Ballad Of Jed Clampett - their only # 1 which also crossed over to the Billboard Pop Hot 100 at # 44, the theme from the TV series The Beverly Hillbillies; Pearl, Pearl, Pearl - # 8 and # 113 Hot 100 "Bubble Under" also from that series and inspired by Bea Banaderet's character, Cousin Pearl; New York Town - # 26 in October 1963; You Are My Flower - # 12 in spring 1964, and its B-side, My Saro Jane, # 40. All their hits to this point were billed as Lester Flatt, Earl Scruggs&The Foffy Mountain Boys.
With their next hit in late spring of 1964, Petticoat Junction (from the TV series - # 14) the billing changed to simply Kester Flatt&Earl Scruggs, and that would carry over to these following hits: Workin' It Out - # 21 in September 1964; I Still Miss Someone - # 43 early 1965 cover of a 1959 Johnny Cash B-side (to Don't Take Your Guns To Town); Nashville Cats - # 54 in May 1967 and a # 8 Hot 100 that year for The Lovin' Spoonful; and the hilarious California Uptight Band - # 20 in August 1967.
For their last three hit singles, they would be billed as Flatt&Scruggs: Down In The Flood - # 45 in February 1968, and its B-side, Foggy Mountain Breakdown - # 58 Country and a # 55 Hot 100 cross-over from the film Bonnie&Clyde. It's interesting to note here that, when the film's producers used the original December 11, 1949 Mercury release for the movie soundtrack, and it was released as Foggy Mountain Breakdown, Columbia had them re-record it and it came out on Columbia 44380 as The Theme From Bonnie&Clyde. The chart performances apply to both versions.
The sound is excellent, and with the insert are five pages of background notes written by Patrick Carr, columnist for Country Music magazine, and editor of The Illustrated History Of Country Music (another two interesting paragraphs appear on the reverse), as well as a listing of the tracks showing recording dates and label details (but no chart information, which I have provided above).
If only all Sony "Essential" albums were handled this well.』
(The Essential Flatt&Scruggs: 'Tis Sweet To Be Remembered by Flatt&Scruggs) 『All the best of Flatt&Scruggs. Great banjo picking, wonderful bluegrass music. Includes my favorites: The Ballad of Jed Clampett, and Foggy Mountain Breakdown, among others. A great addition to any country and bluegrass collection.』
(great recording) 『Sound quality was excellent, even though some of these songs were recorded 50 years ago.』
(Flatt&Scruggs timeless) 『This C.D. is excellent. Flatt&Scruggs are truley timeless performers.』 『With ample doses of talent, spirit, and charisma, Flatt and Scruggs rose to the popular peak of the bluegrass heap during their 17-year association with Columbia. With Lester Flatt's casual vocal style and Earl Scruggs's groundbreaking banjo technique, the Foggy Mountain Boys brought bluegrass into the country mainstream more so than either Bill Monroe or the Stanley Brothers. Disc one picks up where the legendary Mercury recordings left off. High-powered originals such as "Come Back Darling," "Head Over Heels," "Til the End of the World Rolls Round," and "I'll Never Shed Another Tear" add to their classic repertoire, while the spectacular instrumental rags and breakdowns showcase Scruggs's banjo prowess. Disc two finds the pair diversifying their portfolio, as it were, with readings of popular television themes and covers of everyone from the Carter Family, Woody Guthrie, and Johnny Cash to John Sebastian, Bob Dylan, Tom T. Hall, and even Shel Silverstein.--Marc Greilsamer』

It is a much more realistic look at teens on break than the "beach" movies from the US starring Frankie Avalon. Keep in mind this is the EXACT SAME movie as SWEET VIOLENCE. Difference is SWEET ECSTASY is dubbed with a soft, 4:3 and haggard print while SWEET VIOLENCE is subtitled, widescreen and a pristine print. So, most film fanatics will prefer the SWEET VIOLENCE's transfer to DVD even though it's in French.』
(Bad product) 『Sweet Ecstasy is the very same movie as named Sweet Violence. I wonder how same movie have different name.』
(Elke Sizzles) 『Just to watch a very young, sexy Elke Sommer with her pouting lips makes Sweet Ecstasy worthwhile. The dramatics of Elke's exploitative character as a swinger on the French Riveria is interesting and charming. For most of the movie, Elke Sommer prances about in a skimpy top and revealing hip-hugger pants that enhances her animalistic sexuality. The real kicker that makes Sweet Ecstasy so sweet, however, is the love scene with Elke on the deck of the yacht. Elke absolutely sizzles in a very hot, very real, and very graphic display of young torrid love. This is a must own video.』

(fellowship in music) 『I was searching for a song, - The Love of God. As there are two songs with this title, I wanted to be sure I found the one that I did not have. Joy Gardner, David Phelps, and Guy Penrod are featured in this number. They sing the last verse, and as though that wonderful verse is not enough, these three singers, so full of God's love and having so much talent, make the rafters ring! And the talent and devotion of the other indicated to me a bound of fellowship and love. (I think they were enjoying it as much as I was.) Over and over and over, I play that song. It was delight to discover that I enjoy the whole DVD. Only one song raised my eyebrows, but others may really like it, so I shall leave that up to them. Lively and touching songs, most of which I have heard for years, and a few really good ones that I am pleased to hear. I wish they had offered a recording of those three dear people, Guy, David, and Joy, singing the whole song. I think Bill Gaither knows to leave us wanting more. It is a sweet and enjoyable DVD.

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Only Four Shows, One In Two Parts) 『Just what the title says, this disc only gives you technically five episodes, but since one is a two-parter, it is actually only four. But I got it for only five dollars, so I can't complain too much.
This disc gives the observant viewer a good back-to-back display of the show's jump, from its days as a genuinely funny show to the parody of itself it later became. Don't get me wrong, all five episodes included here are very funny, but sometime in 1990, it derailed, and never fully came back. The two-parter is from 1991, and there is a marked decrease in the quality of the writing and directing in it. In fact, I can pin-point the moment the show derailed. It was the one where the two families went to England, on a bogus prize vacation. That episode isn't on this particular disc, but following the show's run, how it played out, that is precisely when it lost it.
I may start getting the seasons as available on Amazon, although I may stop after the third or fourth season. But, completionist I am, I will probably keep getting them, as finances allow.
Back to the product at hand. There isn't really anything in this disc that seperates it, it is a so-so depiction of a show that itself could, and should be a whole lot better.』

Married with Children, Vol. 1 - The Most Outrageous Episodes』
(A must for Bundy fans!) 『The most memorable episode on this DVD is "I'll See You In Court" from Married...With Children's third season(1988-89). Al(Ed O'Neill) and Peggy Bundy(Katey Sagal) retreat to a motel to try to "put some spice" back into their private life. They view a videocassette,recorded by a security camera,of their next-door neighbors Steve(David Garrison) and Marcy Rhoades(Amanda Bearse) engaged in a private escapade. It turns out that the camera violated the Rhoadeses' privacy,when they were at that same motel by themselves at an earlier time. So both couples sue the owners/operators of the motel but only the Rhoadeses were awarded a nice $100 grand because the Bundys' privacy was not invaded afterall. After the trial,Al and Peggy are making love underneath the presiding judge's podium with a security camera overhead! This episode was never aired on the Fox network during its original run because because of some of its content. The FX channel did once air it in 2002,though. In "You Better Shop Around",a two-part episode from 1990-91,Al,Peg and their children Kelly(Christina Applegate) and Bud(David Faustino) seek relaxing shelter in a supermarket. Al accidentally wins a sweepstakes by becoming the store one millionth customer of the day. At the time,Al steps ahead of Marcy in the checkout line because he only had a pack of chewing gum. Balloons and confetti are falling and Marcy is bitching because she was originally the next in line. Al quipps,"What's the difference? You still are!". Al checks out a headline on the cover of the National Enquirer which reads "Steve Rhoades to marry Cher". That immediately caught Marcy's attention because he's her ex-husband(this was after Marcy married her second husband Jefferson D'Arcy). The other episodes are awesome. This is a must for every MWC fan.』

Usually ships in 24 hours Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (the damned don't cry) 『Under no circumstance can I give this movie more than one star after the way that Joan Crawford (may she rest in peace) was mistreated and abused by the producers, the director and the high holy priestess of the silver screen, Ruth Elizabeth Davis.
Although I have never been too interested in her, I know that Bette Davis was a talented actress, but she could also be very callous and vengeful and extremely mean-spirited. I find it inexcusable that she collectively had poor Joan blackballed because Bette Davis was jealous of Joan's beauty and gentility and gracefulness. Joan Crawford, a star who pioneered the modern American cinematic form, a star who acted in silents when Bette Davis was still in nappies, no less, deserved much, much better than she received.
According to Joan's close friends and assistants at the time, Joan was so emotionally and physically torn, drained and beaten down from the wanton abuse that Bette Davis threw at her that she had no other choice but to check herself into the hospital. Joan did not know how to fight. She was not a fighter in the literal sense. Joan was a pacifist who loved people. And we have to remember that this was her doctor's orders and it was for her own personal health and well-being. And while poor Joan was in the hospital she actually heard of her firing over the radio. They just threw her away like yesterdays newspaper. So sad and so tragic and so disrespectful and disgraceful. But Joan (may she rest in peace) was always a professional and always such a kind and wonderful person and even until the day she passed away never had a bad word to say about Bette Davis or the producers of this film.
Bette Davis always got the very best writers, directors, editors and producers and scripts. Like a poor, starving, innocent, puppy, looking for tables-scraps, Joan simply had to make do with whatever the studio was throwing her way. But Joan, unlike Bette, was always able to make it work because she personified the American woman. She worked harder than any other (wo)man in Hollywood and like a cat holding onto it's 9th life, sustained her career for 6 decades.
As if playing second-fiddle to a second-rate "actress" wasn't bad enough, kind-hearted Joan had to contend with the veiled comments about her appearance, too. Yet, these same critics making these comments almost never bothered to mention that Joan always looked at least 17 years younger than Better Davis. Nor did they ever mention how beautiful and elegant Joan always looked whenever she was seen out in public, even when she was well into her late '60s.
Joan made a classic movie of her own in 1964, titled "Strait-Jacket." And as Ms. Diane Baker (Joan's co-star in the film said in the '02 DVD featurette) if it hadn't been a horror movie, where, by now everyone had all of these preconceived notions about Joan, she likely would have been nominated for an Oscar.
Incidentally, the plot of "Hush...Hush...Sweet Charlotte" is actually rather similar to Joan's other 1964 film, "Fatal Confinement," which is much, much better than "Hush...Hush...Sweet Charlotte" (and came out first.)
I found the performance (or lack there of) by Bette Davis to be lacking in anything even remotely real and human. Like most of her roles (with a very, small exception) she came off as hard, brazen, not very ladylike and rather inhuman (and inhumane) and un-relatable. Incidentally, Agnes Moorhead looked like a regular transvestite. The only performance that was not lacking pretense was that of Ms. Olivia de Havilland (who is still very much alive and kicking.)
If you can find the rare Key Video release of this film, I say get it only because it has a rather unusual cover. However I do not recommend this movie for any other purposes, but if you really must see it wait for it to come on TV.
According to Wikipedia there is actually an original scene in the movie that Joan filmed that is still intact, "There is a long shot in the beginning of the movie, when Miriam gets out of the taxi upon her arrival at the Hollis plantation, that actually shows the back of Joan Crawford's head and not de Havilland's." Why would Joan's portion be left in and not cut out? Some conspirisists think that it was done on purpose to capitalize on Joan's huge name and worldwide box office appeal and loyal public, who, to this day only have the best to say about her.
Contrary to many books and reports stating otherwise, there was never a "feud" between Joan and Bette Davis. Joan was too much of a lady to wallow in the mud with the pigs and simply found it beneath her to ever disrespect anyone, so she simply said nothing. That is one of the (many) reasons why I have so much respect for her.
No, this is not the review you probably came here to read but I didn't start witting reviews on this forum more than 10 years ago (over 500 to date) to be anyone's patsy. These are my opinions and I stand by them because this is how I feel about a very poor movie that could have been very good. sometimes I really believe that I would be more welcome at a clan rally because some people on this forum are so threatened by anyone else's different opinions because they're afraid that it will undermine their own.』

(FANTASTIC PERFORMANCES) 『Bette Davis, Olivia deHavilland&Agnes Moorehead gives fantastic performances in this wonderful if slightly over the top horror classic. This film was nominated for 7 Academy Awards and when you watch it you can see why. In my opinion this film is even better than "What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?" Just the dialogue and snappy lines alone is worth watching this movie and having Bette, Olivia&Agnes deliver those lines is pure fun! Some of the lines that Bette says in the film: "Where you are I could spit in your eye...with no strain at all", "What do you think I asked you here for...company?!", and the best line of all (directed at Olivia deHavilland)- "You're a vile, sorry little [...]!" Wonderfully witty and campy dialogue that is a joy to watch and see. Agnes Moorehead has some great lines with her drawn out southern accent: "You know she broke that dadburn teapot up there...tea running all down the walls! Shooooweeee! "She nottin but a chil'" and my favorite (also directed at Olivia deHavilland) "Oh so your finally showin' the right side of you'face ain't ya...well I seen it all the time". If you can't find something to love about this film, then there is something wrong with you. They don't make classic suspense/horror films like this anymore.』
(Great Performances, Some Unintentional Humor and A Tad Bit Junky) 『Hush... Hush, Sweet Charlotte by Robert Aldrich has a some very tacky elements to it. The conspiracy from two "good" characters to "nobody" playing the piano in the wee hours of the morning compile with some, surprisingly, excellent acting and some funny scenes. The scene that really got me laughin' was the first murder. "OH NO MY BELOVED HAND! OH MY GOD!" throw in the incredibly fake severed hand and I do believe we have a comedy. Another thing that confused the hell outta me was the countless twists and turns that came. First Charlotte killed John, then her dad, then **SPOILERS** Jewel, Charlotte's rival. The film really catapulted off of What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?'s success, and HHSC portrays no comparison to WEHBJ, it was actually intended to be a follow up with Joan Crawford. The similarities between the two are uncanny, aging woman, going crazy, hostages, murder the list goes on. Performances in Hush... Hush are actually great. Bette Davis is great, as usual, Agnes Morrehead is brilliant as loyal servant, Velma, Olivia de Havilland is intriguing toward the end of the film. But, Joseph Cotten sort of drifts away from the rest of the cast but somehow finds his way back. Cinematography is simple and quite boring. Joseph Biroc provides no interesting shots what so ever. The plot and idea in general is quite cliche and unoriginal. Murder from many years ago, conspiracy against murderer, murderer is not who you think. Seen it before? I seriously think that you have.』
("Bette and Olivia Nearly Destroy Each Other In This!") 『It was announced in December, 1963 that the two stars of "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?", Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, would be reunited for "Hush, Hush...Sweet Charlotte". After the huge financial and critical success of "Baby Jane", studios were fawning all over themselves for a vehicle the would bring these two movie goddesses back together. Before "Baby Jane" no one wanted Davis and Crawford in their movies, as the film studios felt they did not appeal to the box office. Once Joan and Bette's careers were reignited again, Hollywood was knocking down their doors. "Hush, Hush..." was suppose to star the two, but because of ill health and Davis' harsh treatment of her on the set, Joan fell ill and was hospitalized. What a terrible loss the studio had, as well as us fans, as we never saw Joan as Miriam in the final film. It would have been so neat to see Joan, as Miriam, beating the crap out of Bette as Charlotte, as the complete opposite happened in "Baby Jane", where Bette's character was the antagonist and abuser. Olivia DeHavilland does, however, give a remarkable performance in this film as Miriam. Olivia detetested doing bitch roles, but both Bette and director Robert Aldrich persuaded her to do the film. What makes her character so evil is the subtext in which she uses in her portrayal: we, as the audience, at the beginning of the picture, believe that Miriam is such a kind-hearted, soft spoken woman who's best interest is her cousin Charlotte's welfare: we soon discover none of this is true as Olivia portrays one of the most evil, psychotic women ever on film. The rest of the cast is first rate, from Agnes Moorehead, who plays Charlotte's maid Velma, to Joseph Cotten, who plays an unscrupulous doctor, out to destroy Charlotte. "Hush, Hush...Sweet Charlotte" is the best film in the "Baby Jane" genre. There were many 1960's films that tried to duplicate the success of "Baby Jane", like "Lady in a Cage", Straight-Jacket", and "Dead Ringer", but "Hush, Hush" comes a close second to being the sequel that it was suppose to be to the mother film. According to Bette Davis, she wasn't overly fond of the film, but fans of these hag-films, like me, love these vehicles: nothing like watching former movie queens, looking like hell, and tearing up the scenery! This film also received a whopping 7 Academy Award nominations, but winning none: at the time the film set a record for a horror film receiving the most Oscar nods. This record would be broken in 1991 by "The Silence of the Lambs". There is also another DVD release of "Hush, Hush" that is available, but if you already have the 2005 DVD release of the film I would suggest in passing on it. There is a neat documentary on the film, but it doesn't really offer anything that we ardent Bette and Joan fans don't already know. Contrary to public belief there are no Joan Crawford deleted scenes on the 2008 DVD release. Rumor has it 20th Century Fox destroyed the scenes that Joan did prior to leaving the film. In the second DVD there are still pictures of Joan in character as Miriam, but that is about it.』 『This is the tale of a wealthy southern spinster Charlotte Hollis (Bette Davis) who lives with her eccentric maid (Agnes Moorehead) in a decaying southern mansion shunned by the townsfolk after the mysterious axe-murder of her late lover. When her jealous cousin (Olivia de Havilland) and her cousin's wily husband (Cotton) arrive for a visit the two conspire to drive Charlotte insane and have her commited so the two can sell off her estate and pocket the proceeds. System Requirements:Running Time: 132 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA/CLASSICS Rating: NR UPC: 024543507307 Manufacturer No: 2250730』 『Poor Charlotte Hollis. She's been shunned by the community for decades, ever since the fateful night in 1927 when her lover was hacked apart with an axe. Her antebellum southern mansion is slated for the bulldozer, as it stands in the way of highway construction. Charlotte's only hope lies in her cousin Miriam (Olivia de Havilland), coming down from up north to help settle things. Miriam, however, has other designs. Together with her boyfriend Drew (Joseph Cotten), she embarks on a scheme to systematically drive Charlotte out of her mind (not a great leap) and get her mitts on the family fortune. From there, things only get more complicated.Charlotteputs the "gothic" in southern gothic, as a great showcase for completely bizarre, overwrought, and out-of-control performances from all involved. Agnes Moorehead plays Charlotte's loyal, disheveled housekeeper to the hilt, with an odd inflection that calls to mind Amos and Andy more than southern gentility. As the drunken, conniving Dr. Drew, Cotten's accent is indeterminate at times, and seems to come and go. As great as the supporting players are, though, the crown goes to Bette Davis as the shrieking Charlotte, a portrait of isolation and decay stuck in a world of tragic delusions inside her crumbling mansion. De Havilland is a close second as the scheming Miriam; the scene where she slaps the holy snot out of a hysterical Charlotte is itself worth the price of admission. Mary Astor (in her last role) and Cecil Kellaway (as a kindly Lloyd's of London adjuster) put in the only performances with any restraint, acting as counterweights for the rest of the cast. Besides, you'll never get another chance to see Joseph Cotten playing the harpsichord and singing, or caked in mud and lily pads! With Robert Aldrich's claustrophobic direction,Charlotteis as Southern as a field of kudzu, and as subdued as a train wreck.--Jerry Renshaw』

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Ekte Gjet ost) 『I grew up eating this cheese for breakfast with brown bread or flat bread. It is also used as a dessert cheese. The flavor is addictive and this blend is far superior to the Ski Queen brand.』
(Most memorable cheese) 『I tried Ekte Gjetost cheese when a Norwegian exchange student came to live with us for a while. She brought a big hunk of this cheese with her on the plane. The first time I tried it, I thought, hum, interesting taste. She would eat it on toasted bagels. The more I tasted it, the more I liked it. It is a flavor you can't forget. I have been trying to find it ever since. I'm so happy to find out I can get it by ordering on the internet. It's been over two years&I cannot forget about this cheese&it's amazing flavor&texture.』
(A superb goat cheese) 『This brand is the only Norwegian goat cheese I will buy. The flavor is strong and satisfying, and leaves a pleasant lingering on the palate. Some hate it. My wife says it tastes like soap. When I was a child, we would get a large package every Christmas from Norway, and in it was a five pound cube of gjetost. Every day, my father shaved a few thin precious slices off the block, which were savored by him, my sister and me. Mother didn't like it. "Ekte" means real, and this cheese is really real!』
(delicious product) 『Same product as we sampled in Norway. One suggested improvement: in Norway the cheese is cylindrical, and has its own round plastic top that you can replace to keep the cheese fresh.』
(wonderful cheese) 『 If you like a cheese with substance this is it. The cheese has almost mild peanut buttery taste, slightly sweet but not overwhelmingly so. A small bit (quarter size) is lovely on a plain rice cracker or a Ritz. It is a hard cheese that keeps for a long time in the fridge. Perfect with afternoon tea or for a light lunch or as a snack anytime. Delightful for picnics.』 『Ekte Gjetost is a sweet, brown, firm cheese, made solely from pure goat's milk which is boiled under pressure until caramelization occurs. Stronger than regular Gjetost, it is widely popular among Scandinavians. Children especially enjoy its sweet flavor and fudge-like texture. Traditionally, this cheese is cut into very thin slices and eaten at breakfast with toast or crispbread.

(stella's carrier) 『Stella, her clothes and carrier are the perfect doll for an 18month old - my granddaughter is 2 now and still heads for Stella as soon as she comes for a visit. Stella is so soft and the carrier holds the doll as well as all the accesories. Great first doll.』
(Great toy for a new big sister) 『I found this backpack for my toddler when her baby sister was born. She already had the baby Stella doll and this carrier was great because she can carry her baby with her like mommy carries her new sister. My only complaint are the straps for the doll are very tight and it is something a toddler is unable to do by themselves. My daughter is so cute when she wears this and it draws a lot of attention. She is very proud that she has her own baby and backpack!』
(Very Cute) 『This toy is very cute, but I don't think it's meant to be a carry all for every Baby Stella item. You could easily fit the changing set and some food--the kinds of things you'd put in a "real" diaper bag. My 16-month-old loves putting this backpack on alone. I think it reminds her of her big brother's backpack for school. She looks at herself with the backpack on in the mirror. She loves her Baby Stella and I'm sure as she gets a little older she'll use the backpack like a diaper bag.』
(Too small!) 『This carrier is cute, but Baby Stella BARELY fits in the straps, and won't fit if she has her winter clothes on. The bag itself is small and wouldn't fit the stuff we hoped to pack for her, like the changing set and feeding set. Overall I would not recommend this product - get a bigger backpack at any store, and let Baby Stella ride in the front pocket or peek out the top!』 『Secured by simple hook-and-loop closures, Baby Stella fits in comfortably, helping tots practice fine motor and nurturing skills.

(Like the Title, A Sweet Success!) 『I started reading Susan Mallery with the Marcelli family series and loved each book so of course, I had to get more of her books. Sweet Success was just as good.
It's the story of Ali, who owns her own chocolate shop and Matt, a loner with a past. The story of Ali and Matt moves at a nice pace. Ali's mother, Charlotte Elizabeth, a former movie star, adds humor with her pet pig, Miss Sylvie. I enjoyed the way the characters were all introduced and the way they interacted with each other. For me, it was one of those books that I hated to see end.
I am now going to start reading her series of Irresistible, Delicious, etc. and I'm sure they'll be just as good as her others. I hope she keeps writing these wonderful stories! It's a joy to find a new author to read that writes such wonderful books!』
(Sweet romantic comedy) 『Chocolatier Ali is known for her confections and her open heart. She tends to take in strays - both the two legged and four legged variety, and makes secret truffle runs to the local health spa under the cover of night. With an abysmal love life and an aging diva for a mother whose soul purpose in life is to become a grandmother, Ali has her hands full.
When she hires a handyman to build new shelves in her stockroom, in walks Matt Baker, who appears to be a hollow shell of a man, haunted by a past he's trying to run away from. Matt figures her for a meddler; Ali figures Matt for person in need of not just her chocolate. The more they are around each other, the more Matt likes the eccentric Ali and her merry band of friends and family, and the more he opens up to her about his tainted past.
Mallery has penned a pretty formulaic and predictable romance, but the engaging couple and quirky secondary characters - particular mom and her pot-bellied pig Miss Sylvie keep the reader's interest. I have yet to read a Mallery-penned novel that I hate.』
(A pleasure to read) 『Ever since reading the Marcelli Family series (The Sassy One, The Marcelli Bride, etc...) I have become a huge Susan Mallery fan. I've gone back and started reading some of Susan's other work and when I came across 'Sweet Success', I didn't think it sounded like an especially good book. Was I wrong! I found this book very funny, the characters were colorful and likeable. The scenes where the characters become intimate were extremely well written and highly sensual. I don't want to give too much away because the plot isn't particularly deep or complex, however I strongly recommend this book. It was a pleasure to read!』
(A satisfying treat) 『With her firm belief that the world looks better after a hazelnut truffle (and she'll even do secret midnight chocolate runs to Santa Magdelana's health spas!), Allison Thomas is enjoying the sweet smell of success with her gourmet chocolate shop. Life is almost perfect except for her former movie-star mother's obsession with her lack of grandchildren, the lack of men in her daughter's life and the health of her pet albino pig, Miss Sylvie -- and not necessarily in that order. Another problem is the lack of organization in her storeroom, so when the local contractor sends over his new hired hand, Ali is hopeful that one of her troubles is over. What she gets is a gorgeous, slightly too thin handyman with empty, haunted eyes.
For the past year Matt Baker has been on the run. Moving from one small town to another and doing hard manual labor, all the while hoping to forget what he's left behind, Matt is a man with secrets. Big ones.
Trying desperately to stay emotionally numb, Matt rebuffs Ali's attempts to befriend him. Soon, however, the magical combination of Saint Maggie's relaxed atmosphere and whimsical residents -- especially a certain chocolate maker -- begins to slowly bring Matt back to life. An attraction develops between them and one night blazes out of control. But can their relationship survive when Matt's past catches up with him?
In her first mainstream romance, Susan Mallery provides readers with an enchanting feast for the senses. SWEET SUCCESS is a heartwarming tale of second chances and forgiveness with characters and a setting as rich and evocative as the finest box of chocolates. This book is one satisfying treat!
TheSchemer』 『
Bestselling author Susan Mallery awakens the senses -- and fills the heart with warmth and laughter -- in this tantalizing novel of love's richest rewards.
The free-spirited owner of a booming chocolate emporium in Santa Magdelana, California, Allison Thomas is out to save the world -- one truffle at a time. Everyone adores Ali -- who wouldn't love a lady who sneaks midnight chocolate deliveries to the local health spa? And even if a string of crumbled relationships have put romance on hold, Ali's perfectly content with her life and her high-flying career. That is, until the mysterious Matt Baker stirs up her world....New to town, Matt quickly gets under her skin and leads her into temptation. But neither love nor chocolate seems to melt Matt's icy heart. Now, in a unique setting where luscious desserts, sweet wine, and fresh ocean breezes intoxicate the soul, it may prove impossible for either of them to resist this seductive recipe for a wondrously indulgent passion!』

(Sweet writing) 『Sports Illustrated designated "The Sweet Science" the best book about sports ever written in the Western World and I agree with that assessment. Author Abbott Joseph Liebling was as fine a writer as American journalism ever produced and his favorite subject was "The Sweet Science" of prizefighting in its golden era. Liebling wrote for The New Yorker (not known for its sports coverage) and he renders the boxing world (including its characters, cynicism and lingo-ese) with clarity and uncommmon eloquence. Liebling gives you such "broken" (financially from hunger) fighters as Rocky Marciano, technicians such as Archie Moore and aggressive aces such as Jake LaMotta and Sonny Liston in as vivid terms as possible. He doesn't shrink from his task, either. He relates his blow-by-blow reports with the uncannny knack of one who knows the sharp consequences of a faulty defense. He's amazing, Liebling is, and his "Sweet Science" is the epitome of graceful sportswriting in a bluntly articulate age. I can't think of a more rewarding book for any sports fan. Liebling is a wonder. He was a counterpuncher. Every time you let down your guard he surprises you with a shot to the ribcage.』
(Cut-rate Mencken but still entertaining...) 『If you like boxing and reading, then you are truly a rara avis. But if you do happen to belong to such a tiny cohort, then this book should provide a couple hours' entertainment.
Liebling tries too hard to emulate H.L. Mencken's style, and he doesn't have the chops for it...but, at the same time, he knows how to describe the action inside the ring. (Not as well as Jack London, but well enough.) At all times, you sense the depth of his love for boxing.
Another reason to recommend this book is that Joyce Carol Oates thinks Liebling was a racist. (I know, I know...who the hell is Joyce Carol Oates?) If you read the book, you'll discover that he wasn't...and a few more things besides.』
(Rest In Peace;Floyd....) 『The late,great Floyd Patterson,who became the first heavyweight to regain the title after losing it,is as good a reason as any to name a book about boxing,'The Sweet Science'.In this particular case,'A.J. Liebling's masterpiece about boxing(mostly in the fifties)was voted the best sports book ever, by Sports Illustrated.The incredibly colorful characters Liebling focuses on would be hard to beat by any writer in any field,even if he may not have gotten all of it right.For example,he seems to actually get along with Rocky Marciano's manager,Al Weill,even though evidence elsewhere suggests that Rocky may have retired to get away from him.And I think he resorted to cliche in describing Irish Billy Graham as as "good as a fighter can be without being a hell of a fighter"(p.250);Graham is a Hall of Famer who was robbed in a welterweight title fight against Kid Gavilan-and my (Jewish) uncle idolized him.But Liebling,who wrote on "serious subjects" for 'The New Yorker'and was an award winning war reporter, attended the first fight ever held in Yankee Stadium in 1923-and remained optimistic about the future through the lens of boxing,concludes,"I reflected with satisfaction that old Ahab(Archie)Moore could have whipped all four principals on that card within 15 rounds,and that while (Jack)Dempsey may have been a great champion,he had less to beat than Marciano.I felt the satisfaction because it proved that the world isn't going backward,if you can just stay young enough to remember what it was rewally like when you were really young."』
(Great Stuff!) 『I've been searching for this book for years. I'm from Brockton, MA and I certainly appreciate great boxing prose. The new intro really adds nothing to the book and Mr.Anasi even gets Ezzard Charles' name wrong--calls him "Ezra" in the intro--which also indicates poor editing. Leibling gives you the total world of a great fight--not just whats going on in the ring but the world surrounding the fight. Very real, often funny, thoroughly engaging. I want to read more of his stuff.』 『A.J. Liebling's classicNew Yorkerpieces on the "sweet science of bruising" bring vividly to life the boxing world as it once was. It depicts the great events of boxing's American heyday: Sugar Ray Robinson's dramatic comeback, Rocky Marciano's rise to prominence, Joe Louis's unfortunate decline. Liebling never fails to find the human story behind the fight, and he evokes the atmosphere in the arena as distinctly as he does the goings-on in the ring--a combination that promptedSports Illustratedto nameThe Sweet Sciencethe best American sports book of all time. 』

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (InStep Run Around 2) 『Just got the stroller - not really that much to talk about. The locking mechanism for folding/unfolding is a little difficult but other than that, it seems like a great deal for the money you pay.』
(My review) 『I got it on yellow and i think is to wide, the front wheel doesn't swivel. I didn't realize that when I bought it. If you jog in an area where you are turning corners, it's kind of a pain because you have to pivot it around on the back wheels, the fabric to hard and the belts are odd. the color is yellow but it has a slit orage yo it. How can I return this, i open the box would this affect my refund?』
(Jogging stroller) 『This stroller was a b-day present for my wife, she loves it. The only thing I would change if i could is the front wheel, if you have to make a lot of turns it gets a little annoying. Other than that its a great stroller and very easy to push and fits both our kids just fine. Some people say that if you hace tall kids they will hit there head, thats not true, my daughter is above average in hieght and she fits just fine. I would recomend this stroller.』
(Comfortable to use for walking with two kids) 『I bought this stroller when my older child started kindergarten so my younger child and I could walk (one mile) to pick him up. It has worked well. The stroller has nice big, air-filled tires which make it easy to get up and down curbs. It has a hand-operated brake which is very helpful when coming up to a street. The sunshade works to keep the sun out of the kids' eyes and has a little window so I can see what my kids are up to. It has a reasonably-sized cup holder strapped onto the handle which I use to hold my phone, keys, a sippy cup and snack. There is also storage space under each seat and a larger storage area at the bottom.
Mine lists a little to one side (even thought I've tried to adjust the front wheel) so it takes a bit of muscle sometimes to keep it on the straight and narrow. Turning requires pivoting on the rear wheels which isn't a problem for me. I do not jog with it (unless I'm running late) because it is a bit unwieldy. The large bottom compartment on mine has worn away on the bottom from rubbing on the ground (I guess my son's backpack and lunchbox were a bit heavy...). I wish it was reinforced better or didn't hang so low. Also, this stroller is too wide to fit through many doors.
Overall, I like this stroller a lot. Even with my 55 and 35 pound children, it is easy to push. It works very well for walking around town. If I were planning on doing more running, I would invest in a more specialized stroller.』
(double jogger stroller) 『This stroller is very easy to use and folds up nicely to fit in my minivan. It goes smoothly over rough terrain with my 3-1/2 year olds (32 pounds each twins). Also, my 6-1/2 year old (48 pounds) can go in one side with one of the twins and the stroller is very easy to push. I love it! I'm very glad to have purchased it, especially at a great price of $140.』 『Busy parents can stay in shape and bring the little one along. This indoor/outdoor double jogger is at home on the sidewalk, in the park and even in the mall. Perfect for short runs or long walks. Get out and exercise without hesitation. Includes parent console, behind and under the seat storage, quick release wheels, rear suspension, padded push bar, tinted canopy visor, canopy viewing window and mesh venting in rear.』
