work up a sweat

This is a fun fun game that will make you sweat and keep you attention at the same time. This is what makes it easier to lose weight. The first week was difficult and i was sore but i kept going because it kept my interest. Months later i'm still doing it and feeling great. Fun exercises that don't get old! It's also set up in a way where one cannot cheat the game to get through the exercises. So needless to say it makes you work for it. Don't worry if you don't have to Wii Fit balance board because the absence of it doesn't limit you at all. You can do everything without it. In fact the balance board kinda makes it difficult during some exercises because of the feeling you get when on it like you may fall off or feel unstable. Eliminate it and get to being active!
A love story. with vampires...ok passable. However this is so disappointing because it is just a movie for teenagers and doesn't explore the darkerst side of what a vampire is supposed to be, which in my opinion is blood thirsty, evil, and dark...to name a few characteristics. It has no gore, nothing really good in the plot and is totally disappointing. Nothing to make you squemish, nothing to make you turn your head, nothing but teenagers kissing. I could watch saturday morning cartoons and be more amused. It took all i could muster not to fall asleep during this and afterwards felt like i was the one who should have been paid to watch this. If you want a horror movie...STAY AWAY FROM THIS. If you want a GOOD love story then STAY AWAY FROM THIS because it doesn't even deliver in that category either. If you are 12 years old and easily amused with a movie that can't make up its mind on what genre to be in and falls WAY short of anything good, if you like bad acting, and Hollywood cuties that will purely make it soley based on their good looks and not on good acting, if you like stories that fall way short of your expectations(if you was expecting what i was expecting, which was good ol' gore and death since this is a "Vampire" movie), then i say watch it. Otherwise don't waste your time...unless someone pays YOU to watch it, then try to wonder why you just wasted over an hour and a half of your life.
What's great about it: Not a thing
What's not so great: not scary, no gore, i mean come on this has vampires
All tracks are very listenable and don't disappoint in any way. Metal fans need to give this one a shot. This cd is a lot like the first couple Chimaira cd's and tose let me tell you , are just awesome. Ok back to the Infection, musically and lyrically this cd is tops. It will rip you to shreds and amaze you with its at times melodic sounds. A metal music masterpiece.
Ralph Bakshi directed this animated fantasy, which uses rotoscoping (a method of tracing animation over live-action images) to bring to life J.R.R. Tolkien's mythical world of Middle-earth. The movie has been given a letterboxed transfer in its original aspect ratio of 1.78:1 (and has been enhanced for playback on widescreen monitors), and the audio is presented in Dolby Digital Stereo (there is also an alternate French language track in Dolby Digital Mono). The disc has also been encoded with optional subtitles in eight languages -- English, Spanish, French, Japanese, Portuguese, Mandarin, Korean, and Thai. The original theatrical trailer has been included as a bonus feature, as well as biographies of the filmmakers and J.R.R. Tolkien.

nice animated view of Tolkien's classic trilogy

Nice movie to watch along with Peter Jackson's amazing take on Tolkien's trilogy. This movie takes you to the beginning of the story with Bilbo Baggins and his quest along with other Hobbits. This is a fun, fun film. Not to be missed. Watch this! Especially fans of Tolkien's trilogy.
What's great about it: Everything
What's not so great: doesn't go into the Return of the King
An army of the dead come calling, and the square jawed, chainsaw-toting hero Ash is ready for them in director Sam Raimi's outrageous sequel to Evil Dead II: Dead By Dawn, Army of Darkness. Before there were six hundred separate editions of this film on DVD by Anchor Bay, there was Universal's release, which includes a 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer. This is a mildly pleasing image that sometimes sports more grain and dirt than a viewer would like. While the black levels and color schemes are all generally spot-on, this original release tends to incorporate a lot of edge enhancement into the picture which makes for a rocky viewing. The audio is presented in Dolby Digital Surround in French and English. Unfortunately, this is not a very surround sound-friendly soundtrack; most of the dialogue, music, and effects come only from the center and front speakers while the rear speakers are left without much of a workout. Also included on this disc are English and Spanish subtitles. Unlike the new Anchor Bay versions of this film, Universal's Army of Darkness DVD includes only a few meager extra features, including a funny theatrical trailer, some production notes on the making of the film, and a few cast and crew bios and film highlights.

This here is my BOOMSTICK!

Part 3 of the Evil Dead series, Army of Darkness is a great film, unlike Evil Dead this movie isn't scary at all. And similar to Evil Dead 2 with its comedy, but again nothing scary here. Although i wanted horror, i wasn't disappointed at all here. Army of Darkness continues the story of Ash, the man chosen to save the world from the Deadites. A wonderful addition to this cult series, and should not be missed. Watch Evil Dead and Evil Dead 2 before checking this one out so you won't be wondering how and why Ash got to where he is now in the story.
What's great about it: Everything
What's not so great: Dont expect horror, but comedy
Based on events inspired by the serial killer Ed Gein, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is truly the most disturbing film in all of movie history. Not a true story itself but ideas from the gruesome real life man known by Ed Gein, a man who used to wear his victims skin after brutally killing them. This movie is shocking, great acting by all. This movie will disturb you and entertain you if horror is your thing. Not for the faint of heart or youngsters. All others...Watch this!
MGM brings Mel Brooks' science fiction farce Spaceballs to DVD with both widescreen and standard versions on the same disc, and 5.1 Surround Sound, though the movie's lackluster production values make it difficult to discern the quality of the transfer. Still, for fans of actor/writer/director Brooks, the full-length commentary (originally recorded for the laserdisc release) includes his trademark quips and a genuine appreciation of the actors and other collaborators on the film. He has an amazing memory for the details of their careers before and after working with him. It's also refreshing for a director to mock his own work, as well as laugh at the comic bits he has undoubtedly seen dozens of times. In a brief behind-the-scenes featurette, cast members John Candy, Rick Moranis, and others talk about the pleasure of working with Brooks and share stories of on-set goofiness. Basically, for fans of Brooks' unique comic sensibilities, the DVD makes a worthwhile evening's entertainment.

best spoof ever

This is one funny film. From the genius Mel Brooks come this spoof of Star Wars and boy does it make you laugh. John Candy is brilliant as Barf the Mog. Half man half dog for those who don't know =) He's his own best friend. I can't even begin to do this film justice by just a simple review. YOU NEED TO WATCH THIS! One of the funniest movies of all time here. Not to be missed, in fact, you need to own this. Enjoy!
I'll be the first to tell anybody that football (soccer) isn't my favorite sport actually i believe it to be downright boring...However this movie is FAR from that. It is action packed, full of story, and really emotional at times and gets one to feel what the gangs that follow the soccer teams are all about and what they stand for. So much fun and so moving. Probably one of my favorite drama movies of all time.
Ok, put simply...Great plot, visually stunning and lots of action...However the acting is lame and i feel the movie relies too much on the beauty of the actors to mask the bad acting...Fun at times but i could have done without this one. Pass...
What's great about it: great plot and looks good
What's not so great: relies on beautiful bodies to mask bad acting
can I purchase a part for the wii Rockband drum set?
Unfortunately not...There isn't pieces out there for purchase. Sorry to say you gotta buy the whole drum set. Good thing is, they sell the drum set separately and not just a package with mic and guitar. Hope this helps!
