Grand Theft Auto
CD-ROM (22 November, 1999)
list price: $19.99
US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France

Editorial Review

Grand Theft Auto places you in the role of a common streetthug whose job it is to carry out the will of ruthless crime bosses. Stealing carsand settling drug deals are just some of your dirty tasks as you run, gun, steal,and drive through three different crime-infested cities. Fail and you get cussedout by your superiors. Succeed and you rise through the ranks of theorganization, get more respect, and tackle tougher missions. Still, through it all,you play an evil criminal who kills random folks for dishonorable people. Thisis definitely not a game for kids or the easily insulted.

But if you enjoy random acts of virtual violence, this game may be for you. Justkeep thinking, it's only a game. --Allen Stewart

Pros:

  • You can steal any car on the screen
  • Each car handles and sounds differently
  • Easy game play and helpful arrows point your way
  • Open-ended game: pick your own missions, go anywhere you want
Cons:
  • Very violent
  • The game insults its players and cusses at them
  • Outdated graphics, similar to the old Spy Hunter game

The Adventures of Indiana Jones (Raiders of the Lost Ark/The Temple of Doom/The Last Crusade) - Widescreen
DVD (21 October, 2003)
list price: $69.99 -- our price: $52.49
(price subject to change: see help)
US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France

Editorial Review

As with Star Wars, the George Lucas-produced Indiana Jones trilogy was not just a plaything for kids but an act of nostalgic affection toward a lost phenomenon: the cliffhanging movie serials of the past. Episodic in structure and with fate hanging in the balance about every 10 minutes, the Jones features tapped into Lucas's extremely profitable Star Wars formula of modernizing the look and feel of an old, but popular, story model. Steven Spielberg directed all three films, which are set in the late 1930s and early '40s: the comic book-like Raiders of the Lost Ark, the spooky, Gunga Din-inspired Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and the cautious but entertaining Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Fans and critics disagree over the order of preference, some even finding the middle movie nearly repugnant in its violence. (Pro-Temple of Doom people, on the other hand, believe that film to be the most disarmingly creative and emotionally effective of the trio.) One thing's for sure: Harrison Ford's swaggering, two-fisted, self-effacing performance worked like a charm, and the art of cracking bullwhips was probably never quite the iconic activity it soon became after Raiders. Supporting players and costars were very much a part of the series, too--Karen Allen, Sean Connery (as Indie's dad), Kate Capshaw, Ke Huy Quan, Amrish Puri, Denholm Elliot, River Phoenix, and John Rhys-Davies among them. Years have passed since the last film (another is supposedly in the works), but emerging film buffs can have the same fun their predecessors did picking out numerous references to Hollywood classics and B-movies of the past. --Tom Keogh ...

The Simpsons - The Complete Third Season
DVD (26 August, 2003)
list price: $49.98 -- our price: $32.49
(price subject to change: see help)
US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France

Editorial Review

Broadcast in 1991, the third season of The Simpsons contains a host of candidates for "Best Simpsons Episode Ever." Homer is in such good form throughout that a reasonable case can be made that he has superseded the importance of his Greek namesake in the annals of culture and civilization.The opener, "Stark Raving Dad," for instance, features a guest appearance by an uncredited Michael Jackson, who plays an obese white inmate whom Homer meets while confined to a mental institution. Other standout episodes include "Like Father, Like Clown," in which Krusty reveals he is estranged from his Rabbi father; this is The Simpsons at the height of its powers, mature, ironic, erudite, and touching while bristling with slapstick and Bart-inspired cheek. "Flaming Moe's" features Aerosmith and sees Homer invent a cocktail that desperate, sleazy bartender Moe steals from him. "Radio Bart" is another demonstration of the series' knack for cultural references, parodying the Billy Wilder movie Ace in the Hole. Finally, there's "Brother Can You Spare Two Dimes," in which Danny DeVito reprises his role as Homer's brother, regaining the fortune Homer lost him by inventing a Baby Translator. Immensely enjoyable at any level, this third year demonstrates conclusively that The Simpsons is quite simply, and by a large margin, the greatest television show ever. --David Stubbs ... Read more

Canon PowerShot A300 3.2MP Digital Camera with 5.1x Digital Zoom
Electronics (15 April, 2003)
list price: $299.99
US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France

Editorial Review

The Canon PowerShot A300 offers the entry level solution to digital camera users new to the field. Packed with a host of features and a 3.2 mega pixel CCD sensor, this little camera produces great pictures.

Like Olympus digital cameras, the camera is turned on via a sliding lens protector at the front that forces the camera into life. Two AA batteries and the CompactFlash compartment are housed behind a sturdy door that will easy take a beating over the lifespan of the camera without snapping or falling apart. The other side the camera offers a DC and USB port, but unfortunately no video-out to watch your pictures on the TV.

On the rear of the camera, the user is offered a 1.5" TFT screen that is sharp and responsive to changing lights and focuses, as well as, a host of buttons - most of which are self explanatory and you can easily access flash modes, picture review and other options like this without having to plough through plenty of menus.

The camera offers a 33mm f3.6 fixed focal length lens with a 5.1 digital zoom option that offers the equivalent of a 33mm - 168mm lens in a 35mm camera. This combined with shutter speed range of 1-1/2000 sec and ISO ratings of 50 - 400 and a range of pre-programmed settings to cope with landscapes and portrait shooting makes for a nice little camera for beginners. For the more adventurous there is a macro mode up to 5cm, as well as, the option to record up to 3 minutes of movie clips with sound.

For an auto focus fixed lens camera with a digital zoom the quality is quite good. Detail is captured well and greens are differential when it comes to photographing landscapes. The digital zoom is useful for getting into the action, but should not be replied upon for crisp images. Overall as a starter's camera this is an okay place to start. If you are starting out and need a camera that will get you going, this is as good a place as any to start, just don't expect the world. --Jason Denwood, Amazon.co.uk ... Read more

The Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring / The Two Towers (Widescreen Editions) (2-Pack)
DVD (29 August, 2003)
list price: $59.92 -- our price: $53.93
(price subject to change: see help)
US | Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France

Editorial Review

As the triumphant start of a trilogy, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring leaves you begging for more. By necessity, Peter Jackson's ambitious epic compresses J.R.R. Tolkien's classic The Lord of the Rings, but this robust adaptation maintains reverent allegiance to Tolkien's creation. At 178 minutes, it's long enough to establish the myriad inhabitants of Middle-earth, the legendary Rings of Power, and the fellowship of hobbits, elves, dwarves, and humans--led by the wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen) and the brave hobbit Frodo (Elijah Wood)--who must battle terrifying forces of evil on their perilous journey to destroy the One Ring in the land of Mordor. Superbly paced, the film is both epic and intimate, offering astonishing special effects and production design while emphasizing the emotional intensity of Frodo's adventure.Ending on a perfect note of heroic loyalty and rich anticipation, this wondrous fantasy continues in The Two Towers.

After the breaking of the Fellowship, Frodo (Elijah Wood) and Sam (Sean Astin) journey to Mordor to destroy the One Ring of Power with the creature Gollum as their guide. Meanwhile, Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen), Legolas (Orlando Bloom), and Gimli (John Rhys-Davies) join in the defense of the people of Rohan, who are the first target in the eradication of the race of Men by the renegade wizard Saruman (Christopher Lee) and the dark lord Sauron. Fantastic creatures, astounding visual effects, and a climactic battle at the fortress of Helm's Deep make The Two Towers a worthy successor to The Fellowship of the Ring, grander in scale but retaining the story's emotional intimacy. These two films are perhaps the greatest fantasy films ever made, but they're merely a prelude to the cataclysmic events of The Return of the King. ... Read more

Editorial Review

When three thirtysomething friends with woman troubles (Luke Wilson,Will Ferrell, and Vince Vaughn) decide to form a fraternity, it's supposedly tosave Wilson from losing his house, which the nearby college is trying to claimfor academic purposes. But really, Ferrell and Vaughn are desperate to return tothe reckless, feckless days of beer bongs and hot chicks, and they drag Wilsonalong with them as they throw themselves into gathering frat pledges of allages. Old School could have been just another string of bad jokes hangingon a flimsy plot, but the script and the cast have a jovial energy and justenough grounding in reality--at least, up until the obligatory beat-the-systemending, but by that point you'll forgive the excesses of this silly, cheerful, and frequentlyfunny movie.

Editorial Review

The irresistible pairing of Jack Nicholson and Adam Sandler is the best reason to see Anger Management, a comedy that might loosely be called The Funny and the Furious. Nicholson and especially Sandler have screen personas that partially rely on pent-up anxieties, so there's definite potential in teaming them as a mild-mannered designer of pet clothing for chubby cats (Sandler) who's been ordered to undergo anger-management therapy with a zany counselor (Nicholson) prone to occasional tantrums and devious manipulation. Surely this meandering comedy looked better on the page; director Peter Segal scores a few lucky scenes (particularly Sandler's encounter with a Buddhist monk, played by John C. Reilly), but a flood of cameos (Heather Graham, Woody Harrelson, Rudolph Giuliani, and others) can't match the number of laughs that fall flat. As Sandler's understanding girlfriend, Marisa Tomei plays a pivotal role in a happy ending that leaves everyone smiling, with the possible exception of the audience. --Jeff Shannon ... Read more

3-0 out of 5 stars funny
jack nicholson and adam sandler were great in this film, but there really wasn't a plot. some parts are HILARIOUS but others are zzzzzzzzz...

overall, it's worth watching if you want a few laughs.

2-0 out of 5 stars Not really funny
The story is just ok until the plot twist is revealed which is the most contrived and unbelievable. It is almost as if the final plot surprise was written after the movie was screened.

The con-game surprise ending really wipes out an already poor excuse for comedy.

3-0 out of 5 stars a silly fairytale
The initial premise of this film is fine- Dave(Sandler) gets sent to anger management training because of a misunderstanding and the training is done by Buddy, Dr. Nutcase (Jack Nicholson) and the poor, Not Angry Dave is court-ordered to doing more retraining because of the whims of the Learned Nutcase.

Beyond that, this is absurd, but with some bits here and there some people may find amusing.

Jack Nicholson is always wonderful as a crazy person but frankly, I don't see much appeal in the deadpan characters
played by Adam Sandler- this one included. I'm not sure how he manages to portray the angry parts while still conveying his usual expressionlessness.The support group has some expected stereotypes that some people find amusing- lesbian lovers, a man prone to violence, a repressed gay man- and the characters provide some unsuprising gags. Marisa Tomei is lovely as Sandler's girlfriend, not a role with a lot of humor, although she seems sweet.Dave gets to work with a fat cat with the same personality that Sandlerhimself appears to have, so fans of stoic fat cats will enjoy the cat dressing scenes, sparse though they are.

Most of the movie was highly improbable- Buddy vandalises a car and alienates Dave's co-workers, abuses him in his own home by moving in for 30 days- yet we're expected to swallow this as plausible.There is some sort of trickery involving Buddy and Dave's girlfriend- oddly enough she supports the trickery. When the full plot line is "dramatically" revealed to us, we learn she had a bigger role in this than was originally assumed, yet oddly, Dave still trusts her and wants to marry her.

hmmm.... not sure I would marry someone who did that to me.

One of the few funny things that actually worked was the role in which Woody Harrelson- he has an immense amount of potential as the Lovely and Talented Galaxia. ... Read more

Reviews (5)

2-0 out of 5 stars Look for pouring lip in a shaker
I have used this shaker as well as others. The problem with this one is that the top is nearly flat to the lid.The result is that drinks do not pour out nicely, inevitably getting some of your precious liquid everywhere.Look for a shaker with a defined pour area extending at least an inch from the lid.

3-0 out of 5 stars Spills when opened..
This is a good deal for the price. However, some contents spill when making a second round. It's messy. Just wish I had bought a better quality one.

4-0 out of 5 stars Adequete and Inexpensive
I recently purchased this because it was the cheapest one I could find (I'm a starving art student with a love of martinis). When used properly, it works just fine. The cap fits tightly, but you must remember that when shaking it with ice inside, don't shake too long otherwise the ice shrinks the metal and that is when you will have leaking problems. Mine creates excellent martinis, so I haven't a complaint. ... Read more
