This powerful and versatile deep cleaner uses a strong spray and suction combination to remove tough spots and stains from your carpets. Take a product tour.

Not so great

My dog occasionally will have a small "accident," and with 4 people in my household, spills are a natural occurence. Enter this cleaner - it is a pretty decent price, but in this case, you don't even get what you pay for. While it is efficient at sucking liquid messes from the carpet, it isn't so great at removing the stain. Even working the formula in doesn't help much to remove all the filth, and after even a brief amount of time your wrist begins to scream. The shampoo spray is also too wide, spritzing anything and everything too close to it, so be careful around nice furniture. But that's not the true problem with the machine... The main problems are that it LEAKS, horribly, and not just the dirty tank but the HANDLE as well, so as soon as you are done cleaning one spot, the handle drips the soiled mess you just soaked up right back onto the carpet! Hair and dirt tend to get stuck in the head of the suction, which is nearly impossible to clean, and the smell of whatever you just vacuumed seeps out and permeates the air, so people using this for "pet stains" should avoid this. Not a great investment, but not the worst product on the market, either.
What's great about it: Good at sucking up fresh liquid spills
What's not so great: Stinky, leaky, tough to clean, hard on wrists
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Just plain bad.

I LOVE dragons and dragon movies, and I'm a big fan of sci-fi and monster movies, too, so this seemed totally perfect to check out. My sister, father and I went to see it in theaters on it's opening weekend, and the fact that there were only about 5 other people there with us should have given fair warning. The acting was bad enough, but the plot is chopped up, scattered, poorly constructed and just plain lame. Finally, near the end of the film, some CG action began to take place, but it was mortifying. The creatures are well-constructed, but their animations are just terrible. Fun part was a dinosaur walking into mist / smoke, and instead of fading into it, appears to walk on it up into the sky. After that, about 10 minutes of wordless shrieking occurs, including the giant "Dragons" (big CG snakes, really) just hissing and screeching. When it was finally over, we thought it had been 3 hours, but only about an hour and a half. It's the only movie I have ever wanted to walk out of. It's hard to really enjoy even as just a "Bad Movie" movie. Avoid unless you are masochistic.
What's great about it: CG effects, "Bad Movie" factor
What's not so great: Everything else

I saw this in the theater with my family, including my 62 year-old father and 11 year-old nephew. While not a direct adaptation of the book, Spike Jonze did a wonderful job at making a great film that can stand on its own. The story has evolved into, yes, something a little more adult, but it's not "Rated R" stuff. It's more about growing up and learning to take responsibility for yourself - adults will probably see the similarities between Max and Carol and the message it sends. This will probably go right over younger kids' heads, but it is still bizarre enough to keep them entertained. There is some violence, including one monster getting an arm ripped off. Otherwise, beautifully detailed and scenic, CG monsters are incredible, not the best movie you'll ever see but definitely worth picking up.
What's great about it: Wonderful CG animation and scenery, interesting characters
What's not so great: Awkward violence, drags in some parts
I would recommend this to a friend!
