Pulp Fiction (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-11-21 Summary: Rules made to be broken ... This film breaks at least a couple of "rules" that apply to the novel or a movie. First, there is not a single character in it that the viewer can like. They are all human dregs, with no use whatever to society. Second, the plot is not continuous, and the viewer has to reassemble the pieces. These faults should destroy the movie--but somehow they don't. In fact, this is one of the best movies I've ever seen. It is amazing that the director/writer could break such cardinal rules and produce a masterpiece. Is it the ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-10-04 Summary: A Tarentino classic ... This was one of the movies I had to buy years ago after I watched it at a friends house. After ordering Kill Bill 1&2 I decided to revisit this classic. Years later its still an amazing piece of work. Several stories intertwine together to form a masterpiece of circumstances. Every conversation draws you in and entertains you even the pointless ones manage to keep you entertained . The action isn't high but its enough to keep you interested. With an all star cast Its a great movie to own as a Tarentino fan and a must ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-12-22 Summary: Tarentino's Best ... This is QT's finest work. It's heads above all else that he's done, most of which is fairly insipid. In the gangster genre, this is a must see that stands with the classics. This particular release is very well done, and stands with others such as "The Godfather", "Goodfellas", "Casino", etc. ...more

[2] ... essential video | With the knockout one-two punch of 1992's Reservoir Dogs and 1994's Pulp Fiction writer-director Quentin Tarantino stunned the filmmaking world, exploding into prominence as a cinematic heavyweight contender. But Pulp Fiction was more than just the follow-up to an impressive first feature, or the winner of the Palme d'Or at Cannes Film Festival, or a script stuffed with the sort of juicy bubblegum dialogue actors just love to chew, or the vehicle that reestablished John Travolta on the A-list,...more

Octagon (Ultimate Fighting Championship)
Customer Reviews —
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | Foreword from Dana White, UFC President Ever since I can remember, I always loved fights. Whether it was sitting in front of the television watching boxing on Saturday afternoons when I was growing up or getting together with a bunch of friends to go to the arena to see a championship fight, there was nothing better than watching two fighters go toe-to-toe while matching wits and trying to prove who had the bigger heart. To me, it was better than baseball, basketball or football, sports...more

Feature: ... Constructed of a durable plastic shell with rubber molded lining for maximum protection; Can be easily clipped to a camera strap or belt loop ...more
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-11-25 Summary: No complaints ... This card holder feels very well put together and it holds the cards in place nicely. It feels like it could survive a fall from a second or third floor balcony. The only complaint I have is that the latch feels a little weak. It hasn't popped open on me though, so I'm not too concerned about it. Other than that, great product. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-11-11 Summary: Great little case! ... CAUTION: The picture is misleading. You only get the smaller, 4-card case in this purchase, not the large and small case together. I really like this product. I bought it for a 2 month trip to Africa, and it was definitely worth it. The case is made of very sturdy plastic and can take a beating. The interior is rubber and snuggly holds 4 SD cards. The latch is easy to use and there is no fumbling around with it when you need access fast. It has never accidentally opened. I don't think the case is waterproof, but I ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-11-01 Summary: Nice Little Microphone ... This works great with our new tape recorder. Does exactly what it should do. No complaints. Price seemed about right. Cord is a good length and the clip-on makes it easy to hold if you don't actually clip it on. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-09-01 Summary: Clip on mic ... For an entry level price this mic can't be beat. This is great for someone who is starting a podcast and has a limited budget. Actually that is what I bought it for. The sound is good and the price is great. ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-08-29 Summary: Nice little Mic... ... I bought this with a Olympus VN-3100PC digital voice recorder and it works great and the voice recordings are fine.

Million Dollar Baby (Two-Disc Widescreen Edition)
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-10-10 Summary: The Characters are Great! ... Do not let anyone tell you that this is not a film about boxing as some critics have said - it is, or at least 85% of it is. But, whether you are boxing fan or not (and I am definitely not!) this is a great film, that is brilliantly acted and directed with the three main characters being stand-outs. Firstly, Clint Eastwood's acting and direction are peerless, while Morgan Freeman brilliantly plays his part in an understated way, but what a performance by Hilary Swank - the Academy had to give her the Oscar. The mood ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-12-18 Summary: 3.5 stars out of 4 ... The Bottom Line: Marred only by an unfortunate subplot involving a mentally-deficient boxer, Million Dollar Baby is a powerful look at three characters that pulls no punches and takes its story to an emotionally honest conclusion; a deserved Oscar-winner, it is well worth a watch. ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-11-04 Summary: Could Not Look Away ... ***** Spoiler Alert ***** Hats off to Mr. Eastwood for getting me to watch a film about women's boxing. I believe that boxing (regardless of gender) is largely barbaric and distasteful. Add to that, women's boxing is made up in part by ex-prostitutes and ex-strippers, which means that we are heading into degrading territory. Even Frankie deemed female boxing a freak show, rendering him highly reluctant to get involved. The true heart of this movie is a father-figure daughter-figure love story. Frankie had to overcome ...more

[2] ... Amazon.com | Clint Eastwood's 25th film as a director, Million Dollar Baby stands proudly with Unforgiven and Mystic River as the masterwork of a great American filmmaker. In an age of bloated spectacle and computer-generated effects extravaganzas, Eastwood turns an elegant screenplay by Paul Haggis (adapted from the book Rope Burns: Stories From the Corner by F.X. Toole, a pseudonym for veteran boxing manager Jerry Boyd) into a simple, humanitarian example of classical filmmaking, as deeply felt in its heart-wrenching...more
