Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (Lovely set in great condition AAA+++) 『This is a very nice set. The handles are placed for balance. The decoration is nice and the packing was very good. I would purchase it again and recommend it to all. It is just the right size, not too large to pass.』 『Churchill, a British producer of tableware for more than 200 years, has thoughtfully created a pattern specifically for the celebration of the most food-focused of American family holidays--Thanksgiving--with a design transfer-printed from an early American copperplate engraving. The Thanksgiving Turkey creamer and sugar bowl are meant to be integrated with other matching pieces into a festive Thanksgiving table display. They're perfect companion pieces for the matching teapot; the handles on the creamer and sugar bowl lid echo the tea pot's lid and handle in miniature.
The turkey featured in the Churchill Thanksgiving Turkey design is highly detailed, as if from an antique natural history engraving; the bird stands in full-tailed display amid a cluster of ferns on two sides of the creamer. The upper rims of both pieces, as well as the sugar bowl lid, feature equally detailed drawings of forest flora: blackberries, acorns, oak leaves, and simple wild rose blossoms. The color palette includes soft blues, reds, golds, and greens in the muted tones of a hand-tinted photograph. The Churchill Thanksgiving Turkey pattern offers a wide range of matching pieces such as basic 5-piece place settings, napkin rings, a soup tureen, a cookie jar, and a 6-cup teapot, as well as other individual setting pieces.
Churchill earthenware is safe for use in the microwave and freezer; however, avoid rapid temperature changes by allowing dishes to make gradual transitions. Churchill pieces are also dishwasher safe; when hand washing, avoid abrasive cleansers and scourers. The Churchill Thanksgiving Turkey 8-ounce creamer measures 4-3/4 by 3-1/4 by 3-3/4 inches; the matching 6-ounce sugar bowl has a 4-inch diameter and stands 4 inches tall when the lid is on.--Garland Withers』
IPhone 3G used's review (Not Bad, But the Clips are Worthless) 『These lights work fairly well, but the clips are rigid plastic and are almost impossible to bend. I tried using a table knife to open up the gap somewhat, but the clip just broke off. If you plan to clip these to a tree or other object, I suggest you look elsewhere. I have owned other lights with plastic clips that worked just fine.』
(not bad) 『These lamps, of course, use minimal electricity, which is always the best reason to buy LEDs. They produce the bluish-white light typically associated with LEDs. Unlike other types of Xmas lights, these lamps cannot be removed from their sockets, so buyer beware. I figured I'd buy a string because I'm trying to go all-LED for holiday decorations. If the lamps had been removable, I would have used them to make my children's nightlights more energy efficient. Oh, well. It was worth a try. There are worse things than being stuck with an eco-friendly string of Xmas lights.』
(Nice blue color but could be brighter.) 『These LED lights have a very nice blue color when on, unlike some standard blue bulbs that also show some white areas. The reason for the four stars is because the bulbs need to be a little brighter. The bulbs are cool to the touch no matter how long they have been on. The faceted cone bulbs really made my ceder tree in the front yard look great, especial if there was a light breeze to make the branches move. The lights looked like they where sparkling on the tree. These lights have done so well that I ordered the red and green lights as well.』
(Sturdy But Dim) 『I was pleased with how sturdy the bulbs were when they repeatedly banged against my ladder. The colors are good and the lights brilliant because of the faceted plastic bulb. However, if I find brighter LED lights I'll buy them. Mine look dim and they look like I bought "energy saving" lights. The other thing I was surprised about is that you can't buy replacement bulbs. These lights do not unscrew, so the string will die slowly one bulb at a time. If you're using the string to wrap around a tree you might be able to hide the burned-out bulbs, but if you're running the lights along your roof you'll end up with blank spots.』
(LED Lights) 『Excellent lights. The LED is both earth friendly and appealing to the eye. I used them to cover my bushes this past Christmas and they were a nice complement to the bright white of the icicle lights.』
IPhone 3G used's review (My daughter loves it) 『My 2 year old loves this night light. She loves the fact that she can turn it on and off before and after bed time. Mom and dad like that fact that it has a switch and we don't have to unplug it to turn it off. Designs are cute as well. Great addition to any Mickey room!!』
(Great but...............) 『Shipping was sent out fast and I love the product, but, my plug in the bathroom is the opposite of the nightlight plug so I have to put it in upside down. But other than that, I love it. Thank you.』
IPhone 3G used's review (Haven't seen it -- I was looking for the CD, not DVD. oops.) 『I've wanted to get the CD not the DVD. Buyer's mistake. I decided to keep it because I like Michael Jackson. I'm sure this DVD will do it justice, so I decided to keep it.』
(Guilty Pleasure) 『OK. So Michael isn't a public favorite these days. But this disc sure chronicles his best work--ahh, for those younger days! Thriller is my all time favorite music vid.
(Finallyfound it!!) 『Love this video - several songs I'd not heard before, and several of my M.J. favorites are on it................ SO glad I bought it......Thanks.』
(Great gift) 『This product was given as a gift and the recipient was happy with the content.』
(Great memories, bad quality) 『This is a fun DVD to get that has all of the great, and a few of the weird, Michael Jackson videos. The Scene Selection view doesn't list all of the videos, but just so you know, Thriller is on there -- immediately following the Bad video. The DVD quality is not very good. For most videos it has a dotted white line at the top of the screen. But if you're buying to remember a time Michael Jackson was a fun/interesting artist with definiltey the BEST music video in history (Thriller), then its worth the money. Don't expect high quality, but do expect some fun.』 『Studio: Sony Music Release Date: 11/13/2001』

There is always a good moral behind each story. And, each video is short enough and simple enough to keep their attention. My son has watched this video for 4 years now. Not continuously! LOL. But he does not mind watching them over and over again. We found that watching one or two before bedtime was a perfect way to settle down. I find them relaxing too. It's unfortunate that the world entire cannot be such a happy place.』
(addiction) 『my two girls, 3 and 1.5, are completely addicted. we allow them to watch one video or tv show a day and it is almost always a little people video.』
(Great purchase) 『This CD is too cute. My 3 year old grandson loves, loves, loves the little people. He will watch it over and over again. Thanks. Highly recommend.』
(Some of my favorite Little People Movies are in this Collection) 『I purchased this DVD before a long vacation, and it was an immediate hit with my almost two-year-old. If you are considering buying any of the Little People movies, this collection would be the one I recommend most highly. It seems to be a favorite for my daughter and myself. Also she has taken several of the ideas in the movies and incorporated them into her imaginary play. (For example, Sarah Lynn teaching Maggie to sing).』
(This is a HIT with my 15 month old) 『My son loved the Lil People DVD his toy came with, so I bought this one for variety. He absolutely loves this DVD! He giggles and dances to a couple of the songs. My son has no interest in watching other cartoons (except Superwhy) so I was quite surprised when he was entertained by Lil People. We have Creativity Collection and the Friendship Collection and they're both colorful and cute for little kids.』 『Studio: Lions Gate Home Ent. Release Date: 09/05/2006』 『A playgroup of endearing clay animation characters promotes the wonder of imaginative play and music-making in 10 pint-sized tales from the folks at Fisher-Price. In the first handful of stories, everyone in Discovery City is preparing for the town's big event, the Creativity Carnival. Sonya Lee makes decorations as Sarah Lynn readies the musical instruments. Michael hopes to paint the perfect picture, while Eddie builds the ideal skate ramp. To complete their tasks, the pals learn to contend with unexpected complications and use ingenuity to discover creative solutions. The next set of mini-adventures shines a spotlight on all things musical, whether it's Eddie beating a drum, or Maggie singing a masterpiece. This gently paced, age-appropriate collection in theLittle Peopleseries will inspire tykes to dance, sing, and play instruments. Its bright colors and crooning songs will captivate preschoolers, while older viewers will relish the lively stories and happy endings. (Ages 2 to 6)--Lynn Gibson』
IPhone 3G used's review (Excellent) 『The 68 comback special dvd is a very good video, I cant stop watching it.』
(ELVIS 68 COMEBACK) 『WOW...I JUST LOVE THE DVD111 ELVIS LOOKS GREAT!!!!!!!! DVD arrived on time and in excellent condition!!!!!!!!』
(One of his best shows) 『This DVD provides the basic overview of Elvis' 1968 Comeback Special -- a show that I consider one of the best Elvis concerts available on DVD along with Elvis - That's the Way It Is (Two-Disc Special Edition) and Elvis - Aloha from Hawaii (Deluxe Edition DVD).
The DVD starts with the opening production number (Trouble/Guitar Man; That's All Right; and Baby What You Want Me To Do). This is followed by a medley of 9 well-known songs performed in black leather, a gospel production number (4 songs), 7 additional songs performed in black leather, Guitar Man production number (10 songs), and the finale (If I Can Dream). The bonus features include Having Fun with Elvis in Burbank (funny moments from the production of the special), and a photo gallery. This much material should suffice for an average Elvis fan or for those who want to get to know Elvis better.
If you don't want to miss any details, you should consider getting Elvis - The '68 Comeback Special: Deluxe Edition (3DVD) that includes 7 hours of materials on 3 DVDs (complete 2-black leather mini concerts and 2 jam sessions, adapated broadcast version of the concert, unused takes from production numbers, etc.). The Deluxe version also includes Blue Christmas that is unfortunately missing from this DVD.
』
(68 comeback special) 『The best was yet to come but this is a wonderful start to see the raw talent this man had!!!!!』
(The one and forever only!) 『Watched this many years ago and it still thrills me to see Elvis at his most intimate live appearance. He has such a rapport with the audience and is having an obviously good time. In my opinion nothing will ever be as great as this performance was. I could watch this three times a day and not tire of it.』 『Studio: Sony Music Release Date: 08/01/2006 Run time: 94 minutes Rating: Nr』
IPhone 3G used's review (Fantastic Movie!!!) 『This is such a great movie. I do not understand why it has never made it to DVD. I blame the hippies!!!!!!』
(A brutish Irish adaptation of a playful French novel. What does this say?) 『Colin Welland may have won an Oscar for his Chariots of Fire (Two-Disc Special Edition), but in his adaptation of the Louis Pergaud novel set in the early 1900's France and later filmed by Yves Robert in 1962, this move to Ireland lacks the playfulness and innocence of the original and makes these kids from two rival camps way more brutal and warmongering with hateful language. As an Irishman, all I can say is "Why do we keep doing this to ourselves?" Sorry, but this film is full of hateful words, destructive and nearly criminal behaviour that makes Irish lads from Carricks and Bally to be nothing more than Montagues and Capulets from Shakespeare's Romeo&Juliet and the Sharks and the Jets from West Side Story (Special Edition DVD Collector's Set). This is not a film about the playfulness and innocence of childhood, but rather the mean-spirited, thoughtlessness of unsupervised children who are learning at an early age to be full of vengeance (frankly observed by watching their parents!). The fact that these boys crush a beautiful fox with a large rock while a girl gang member calls them "Pigs" is exactly how I felt about them also. Not recommended for family viewing unless this is what is acceptable to you as a parent. I find gang warfare abhorrent and derive no sense of value from this adaptation. I find none of these boys or girls charming or lovable.
Rachel Portman soundtrack (Emma: Music From The Miramax Motion Picture is extremely typical of her work, but is fitting to the film.
John Robert's direction is dull and lifeless and lacks all of the innocence and cuteness of the Yves Robert French film. Occasional shots of the Irish countryside do nothing to alleviate the underlying violence in this film . This film is so inferior to the original "La Guerre des Boutons" and so removed in French playfulness to Irish hatefulness that I cannot recommend it for any reason other than if your childhood was full of gang warfare and disrespect and you find that alluring and cute.』
(great movie) 『i love this movie and have since i was a kid. i first saw it in a movie rental place and thought the name was kind of funny so i picked it up and i thank myself for that day every time i watch the movie, which i now own. its a story about two villages in ireland who have this kind feud and every day the kids from each village have a 'war' that ends before dinner time. its an enchanting tale of innocence, adventure, and community. i would definitely recommend it to all people of all ages. a timeless movie for all!!』
(One of my favorites) 『I've seen this film six times now and each time is a good as the first time. The story is very whimsical, funny, poignant and perfectly enjoyable. Along with THE SECRET OF ROAN INISH and WAKING NED DEVINE, I think that THE WAR OF THE BUTTONS is tops among Irish films. The young actors who dominate the film are exceptional and genuine, and the film explores the way in which adolescents begin to move into becoming young adults and some of the harsh realities of life. Why Warner Bros. has not released this on DVD is my big question. I just bought the tape and then transfered it to DVD myself. This film is a winner across the board, and everyone I know that has seen it loves it and is affected by it.』
(Unrealistic Fictional French Tale Set in Eire) 『This film could have been a five star story had the script-writers done a better job of adapting this French tale to the realites of children in 1960s County Cork, Eire. It's so far-fetched, that only a young American audience would be gullible enough to swallow its fantastic plot. The script-writers did a poor job of allowing the children to be children with the values of children; instead they imposed adult values on them so that it is a film about children by adults. Rather than do a film for children, they did a film for adults about children. Telling is the absence of a single football throughout the film!
In short, it's the fictional confessional tale of the character Marie and her childhood growing up in a tiny village in West Cork called Ballydouse. The plot follows the antics, at times illegal and criminal, of two boys, Fergus and Jerome, from separates sides of the river who eventually end up in reform school - not for something they actually did, but for something they were responsible for causing (although they should have been disciplined long before things got out of hand, and would have in true life). One of those two boys is now her husband and the other is their oldest friend.
In long, the story begins with the boys from the Ballydouse side of the river confronting the boys from the Carrick side on the bridge that connects the two. An argument ensues with profanities unfamiliar to an American audience but very bad to an Irish one, and a Carrick boy nicknamed Gorilla grabs a Bally boy and dangles him upside down from the bridge. At any second the Bally boy may slip from the grasp of his tormentor and fall head first into the river below. While the life of this young lad is being threatened, the post man sits in his car and only timidly advances towards the lot. Fergus comes to the rescue, but not before Jerome (aka Geronimo) calls off the Carrick goons.
Instead of realistically running home and telling their parents how the young Bally boy was nearly murdered, the Bally boys later quietly retaliate by conducting a guerilla mission to vandalize the church in Carrick. The destruction of private property is unsettling, especially against the church and if that really had happened in Cork, their own would of stopped them in their tracks.
During the raid on the church, one of the lads is spotted by a Carrick man. The boy is so stunned with fear when he's seen, that he drops his basket of eggs. The scene is humorous as he is brought inside the man's home so his wife can tend to him, and it turns out to be the home of the Carrick leader Jerome. Jerome's father determines the boy to be in shock and funnels shots of whiskey down his throat - without any gagging, coughing, or screaming from the boy who presposterously sucks them down like a seasoned adult. When they send him home with a basket of eggs from their hen house, he asks "one for the road?" in very adult and unrealistic fashion.
The next day, the Bally boys row out to the middle of the river to spy through binoculars on the efforts of the Carrick priest to repair his sign. They are confronted with sling-shots ("catapults") by the Carrick boys on the other side. "Murphy's Dunes after school", says Fergus.
At Murphy's Dunes, the Ballys bait the Carricks with their youngest lads who taunt the Carricks into pursuing them into a trap, where the older ones capture one Carrick with a net. It turns out to be the same kid who endangered the life of the Bally boy the day before. In a horrible, illegal, and criminal scene, Fergus pulls out a pocket knife. They torture the boy and threaten to castrate him. Instead, they cut off his buttons, shoe laces, and belt. Then send him back. Hence, the war of the buttons.
Back and forth it goes, each side taking their knives to the buttons of the other, until another very bad and unrealistic scene where the Ballys go to battle completely nude against the Carricks. Bare-bottomed boys running around outdoors indecently exposed. Just doesn't happen in County Cork! Idiotic and stupid are the script-writers. In real life, these boys (who never acted before) were actually made to indecently expose themselves for the camera people and directors filming them. These adults should be ashamed of themselves for imposing adult humour on what otherwise would have remained a sterling coming-of-age story.
Things grow worse and worse, each side trying to trump the other until Marie is very nearly killed by an out-of-control downhill tractor. With the destruction of the tractor and threats of lawsuits against each parent of every child that participated in the wars for buttons, each kid got a thrashing from their parent and Fergus and Jerome were sent to reform school.
Why did they do it? "...for the hell of it - what else is there", explained Fergus. With no afterschool sport, not a single football, cricket bat, or rugby ball anywhere in this film, what did the parents of this fictional village expect their kids to do? A silly movie that can be enjoyed by those who can suspend their knowledge of reality.』 『This is a story of children from two small towns in Ireland who form small armies and battle against each other in a never-ending quest for supremacy. The film investigates the slightly surreal and powerfully emotional world we inhabit as children.』

(lion king) 『i will never buy anything from this person again. my purchase was not brand new even though they tried to pass it off as one. the movie skipped the package was rewrapped. i will have to think twice before i order anything from amazon.com again』 『Not an ideal choice for younger kids, this hip and violent animated feature from Disney was nevertheless a huge smash in theaters and on video, and it continues to enjoy life in an acclaimed Broadway production. The story finds a lion cub, son of a king, sent into exile after his father is sabotaged by a rivalrous uncle. The little hero finds his way into the "circle of life" with some new friends and eventually comes back to reclaim his proper place. Characters are very strong, vocal performances by the likes of Jeremy Irons, Nathan Lane, and Whoopi Goldberg are terrific, the jokes are aimed as much (if not more) at adults than kids, the animation is sometimes breathtaking, and the music is more palatable than in many Disney features. But be cautious: this is too intense for theRugratcrowd.--Tom Keogh』 『Anybody who struts around with Simba's hard-won authority deserves this royal DVD read-along from Disney. Kids can recoil at Uncle Scar's dastardly deedsen españoland discover that "hakuna matata" sounds pretty much the same in Spanish, French, Italian, or German. And should the dynamic storytelling fail to thrill your 4- to 12-year-old fan, a flurry of other interactive options await. Toggle to "Songs" for sing-along renditions of movie hits, including "I Just Can't Wait to Be King," and on to "Music Videos," where Elton John roars soundtrack favorites "Circle of Life" and "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" and Jimmy Cliff and Lebo M groove to "Hakuna Matata." The "Vocabulary" feature allows for see-and-say mastery of a list of wildlife, while the "Game" section allows players to match paw and hoof prints to the proper beast and reassemble the scattered skeletal remains of an elephant. Original cast voices are featured, and grownups will be pleased by the package's reading component.--Tammy La Gorce』 『Disney's THE LION KING SPECIAL EDITION features an all-new song, "Morning Report," and never-before-seen animation, giving you even more of this award-winning masterpiece -- the greatest animated adventure of all time. An unforgettable story, breathtaking animation, beloved characters, and Academy Award(R)-winning music (Best Music, Original Score, 1994; Best Music, Song, "Can You Feel The Love Tonight") set the stage for the adventures of Simba, the feisty lion cub who "just can't wait to be king." But his envious Uncle Scar has plans for his own ascent to the throne, and he forces Simba's exile from the kingdom. Alone and adrift, Simba soon joins the escapades of a hilarious meerkat named Timon and his warmhearted warthog pal, Pumbaa. Adopting their carefree lifestyle of "Hakuna Matata," Simba ignores his real responsibilities until he realizes his destiny and returns to the Pride Lands to claim his place in the "Circle of Life." Now extensively restored and remastered -- experience THE LION KING like never before, from its magnificent musical opening over breathtaking African vistas to its emotional climax. The all-star vocal talents -- including Matthew Broderick, Jeremy Irons, Nathan Lane, and Ernie Sabella -- rip-roaring comedy, and uplifting messages of courage, loyalty, and hope make this timeless tale entertainment for all ages.』
