A true dissapointment...because my little Gigi was so excited when I open the package and she knew it was something for her.....bwahhh!』
(Great!) 『These bubbles were great. They worked very well and our dog had a blast with them. A little messy though. They are much thicker than normal bubbles and are sticky. We had to wipe our dog down afterwards because they were caked in this coat, kind of gluey. But it was worth it cause he had a blast with them and they produced great bubbles.』
(Not Ingredients I would want my dog ingesting.) 『I was excited about this product after seeing it on a TV show but once I took a look at what some of those ingredients were(and what there potential harm was) I changed my mind. I would never consider these for my dog.』
(Best dog toy EVER!!) 『Our Boxer "Zeus" LOOVES the peanut butter flavored 'catch a bubbles'!! When he see's up pick up the dog bone shaped bottle, he gets excited and sits impatiently waiting for me to blow him some bubbles!! He will spend as much time as I'll allow, JUMPING, LEAPING, SNAPING, AND CHOMPING on the bubles like a furry ballerina on a sugar rush!! It's the most hilarious thing in the world to watch!! If he misses any bubbles, they are still there on the furniture, waiting the next morning! ( they leave no stains, don't spill easily either!) Quick delivery, worth every penny!!』
(My Dog Loves it!) 『It's a bit sticky and doesn't taste good, to me anyways, but my dog loves it and gets really excited and chases down every single one of them.』 『These bubbles magically harden when they come in contact with air. Just enough to make them catchable and stackable. Blow them up into the air and wait a few seconds. Then carefully catch them and stack them up. See who can catch the most, stack the highest, then blow them for your pet to chase.』

Everything fun about fall is included in this video, and it has the most fun fun nursery rhyme songs. I enjoy watching this one as an adult! Nothing frightening at all, just enjoyable fall fun at the farm.』
(My son's favorite) 『I got this DVD for my son when he was 18 months old, and he didn't care for it. I played it for him a couple of months ago, and now he can't get enough of it. He loves Barney and his friends, and the scenes at the farm are incredibly entertaining for him. I'm glad the DVD features several shots of live animals with fun songs to go along with them. He watches it almost every day, and when it finishes, he turns to me and asks for "more."』

(This DVD kept her attention) 『My daughter has been addicted to this video since she has been 4 months old. It is the only Baby Einstein DVD that she would watch from the beginning to the end without becoming distracted. To this day (she is almost 16 mo old) she will sit down and watch it and do the actions with the babies on the DVD. I think she likes this video because it uses babies throughout the DVD and not just puppets. I would recommend this DVD to any parent with a young baby. She learned to clap with the video and she reached with the video. It was neat to watch her try to interact with the kids. I would sit with her and watch it and encourage her to make the same movements.』
(Scared Baby) 『My daughter got this video at the age of 12 months. She was, and still now at the age of two, still frighten of this video. Everytime i put it on she runs out the room and starts crying. If i even say "Baby's First Moves" she starts saying "No" and leaves the room. I cannot find a reason why she isn't in love with this particular video. I am a collector of Baby Einstein and my daughter has been watching it since she was 3 months. This is the only video she does not like to watch. She can not wait for Einstein Pals to come out. Hopefully, this will be a hit.』
(Lot's of faces) 『It took a bit longer for my daughter to appreciate this particular video -- about 6 months. When she started to become more interested in other people and babies she loved this one. She really enjoys watching the other babies in the program. I would recommend this one for a baby that has shown an interest in watching others.』
(Disney doing it again.) 『The very first Baby Einsteins were the best. This is pre-Disney. Now that Disney owns the rights, there has been alot of computer graphics and over stimulation that the original movies did not have.

(Excellent DVD of NKOTB) 『This is a great DVD. This DVD has a lot their music vidoes, plus some of the music videos that I have never seen before which was nice. I also love the live concert footage.

IPhone 3G used's review (FUN!!!) 『This is one of my favorite exercise videos. It has awesome songs, and it is so much fun. It doesn't even seem like a workout - just fun dancing.』
(fun workout!) 『I just wanted to write this review in response to a couple of reviews listed earlier.
He does have overweight people in this video, and people of all shapes and sizes. I don't see anything wrong with having a few 'skinny' people, as there are skinny people out there too who need to exercise. As a matter of fact, there are more overweight people in this video than skinny people, and he does dance next to overweight people in this video.
As far as leaving this video to just the skinny people because the Sweatin' videos are better, well, I bet you didn't get the Sweatin' videos on the first try perfectly, did you? It takes some practice to get the moves down, for sure, and you won't get everything the first try. This is a low impact aerobics video perfect for overweight people who want a little 'spice' to their workouts.
I am 60lbs overweight and 5ft4, and I did this video just fine. It might not be for everyone and that's fine too.
But there are a lot of moves similar to the ones in the Sweatin' videos, and some similar routines. So if you are an avid user of the Sweatin' videos you should catch on to this one.
This one is brilliant. I love the music; I do this video just because Richard's personality is infectious and the music is fantastic. You stretch to 'Sweet Dreams', and do aerobics to 'Congo', and 'All Night Long' to name a few.
This video is for everyone. It is not just for skinny people. Overweight folks should have no problem getting through this video.』
(Fun workout) 『This is by far one of Richard Simmons best videos. It is for an intermediate level. You can easily catch on to all the moves after about 3 tries! It is short enough to stick with, and long enough to get results. If you are in top shape, this is too easy for you.』
(Not his best Video) 『I love his Sweatin' to the Oldies. I use them at least every other day and I am seeing great results. I bought this video with the same high hopes and was seriously dissapointed. Dance your pants off was made for people ALREADY in shape, in my opinion. I can't keep up with the tape. If you are overweight like I am, buy one of the Sweatin' to the Oldies tapes and leave this one for skinny people!』
(Fun music but you might trip over your own feet.) 『I bought this tape mostly because of the fun music. I'm not sure what I expected when I thought about the dancing part of the video. In"Sweatin to the Oldies"for example, the only"dancing"you do is the twist. So I guess I expected this video to be more fun type dancing. Well, there are about a million different moves and he doesn't do anything twice. You start to do one thing and he changes to another. I was falling over my feet and quickly became frustrated. I broke a sweat just trying to follow what they were doing which was so frustrating I shut the tape off. The next night I tried it again and I've done the routine 3-4 times now and it does get easier. I don't think it was meant for beginners but it doesn't tell you that anywhere. The other thing about this tape that sort of bugged me were all the cute skinny women who looked like they were semi-professional dancers. He usually always has a mix of people in his tapes but not once did he actually dance next to a normal or heavy person.』 『Richard Simmons, the great motivator, presents another light-intensity, low-impact, high-energy workout in the style of his popularSweatin' to the Oldiesseries. Again live music is the focus--this time 1980s dance hits such as "Celebration," "Flashdance," "Gloria," "She Works Hard for the Money," and "Call Me." Just like in theSweatin'videos, Simmons leads a large class of people of both genders and all shapes and sizes--all having the time of their lives dancing, singing, and cheering (their noisiness may grate on you after a while). Richard wears his signature shorts and tank top, and his followers wear multicolored casual clothes. The message is that it doesn't matter how you look or how much you weigh--just show up and dance! The dance-style choreography is matched to the music, but no moves require much coordination or memory. Simmons barely cues the changes--just watch and follow. This tape is a lot of fun, especially if you remember this music well enough to sing along! At the end of the tape, the performers dance down the center while we read their names and the amount of weight they've lost. Several have lost more than 100 pounds, and one woman has lost 282 pounds! (No, that's not a misprint.) Simmons is to be applauded for making exercise accessible and enjoyable to a whole population of people who didn't know that workouts could be fun.--Joan Price』
IPhone 3G used's review (death rocks) 『loved it....much better than Meet Joe Black with Brad Pitt. Andrew L Weber should make it a broadway play ala Phantom....Death Rocks ! especially on holiday !』
(Good old movie) 『This movie is the original "Death Takes a Holiday". It has good acting and realistic sets. A great "popcorn" and date movie. Enjoyable for men and women. OK for younger viewers too - no sex or violence in this old movie.』
(Sudden Death Is God's Mercy.) 『We, as human beings, search for the meaning in bad things which happen to us, and we may find our belief systems just don't hold up anymore. Finding meaning is not the same as finding rewards. "During a lenghty illness, we have a chance to make life changes while the person is still alive -- and we may be much readier to 'move on' that those dealing with a sudden death. We have to consider the unexpectedness of an auto accident which takes the life of a young person, which brings anguish due to the circumstances. We could not say goodbye or tell the loved one how much we love them. It's an overwhelming reality which leads to extreme sadness.
Those who are having trouble finding direction "may have hidden anger, which can masquerade as depression." One widow divulged, "I have this hangover of a depression and have been diagnosed with post-traumatic disorder...have flashbacks and nightmares." Certain areas of one's life take longer to heal than others. "A lot of time goes toward digging deep in the wound and getting out the infection." One mother admitted, "Every year for Christmas, I still get a game for my kids" even though they are past the age for such games. The main thing is to stay active and creative; see yourself as someone with something to offer the world. Staying connected with others, which those in bad relationships sometimes forfeit for the sake of peace is critical for mental health." Don't take anything for granted. We have to help ourselves to 'let go' and 'move on' to pursue our own lives. Life doesn't have to be perfect to be fulfilling. "Letting go of my desires, of believing I knew best, and just spreading my wings, was my spiritual awakening." Spirituality forged during desperate times "is uniquely meaningful." Although our culture generally sees death and bereavement in negative terms, "there is a richness to the grief process that is seldom acknowledged."
Sometimes we grow not by learning lessons from the dead but by dealing with the aftermath of a death." The more you think about others in terms of a higher power as practiced in the principles of Al-Anon, the more peace you have. "It helped me forgive myself for not being able to help her more."
Here is a good metaphor for the year following a loved one's death: "When you plant winter wheat, you look around, everything is bleak. You plant it, and nothing happens...but, when you least expect it, the following spring -- there it is!" Ofttimes, a sign appears to ease the pain such as a "glorious shooting star as it cross the dark, winter sky." After seeing the star, "I began to think that there was something beyond myself...the possibility that our spirits and the spirits of human beings everywhere remain connected even after death."
Some lingering slow deaths bring a sense of relief to the person left behind: such losses can sometimes transform our lives in dramatic and positive ways. Barbara Wood, in her book GOOD GRIEF, wrote: "The realisation can not only be liberating but also prevents long-term feeling of alienation, especially in situations like the loss of a parent." My dad's death, though I was no part of it, enabled me to return to a place I loved where life was good for me, growing up with a fierce independence and determination. After some hardships, I met the right people to set me on a path to make a public service poor folks in particular need to survive a little better. God had a mission for me in my hometown, and the unsettled life prepared me for the task of speaking up for others. God does indeed work in mysterious ways.』
(Romance Through a Glass Darkly) 『From the moment a strange shadow seems to be following the car lovely Evelyn Venable is riding in the mood for this beautiful and darkly romantic film is set. When death itself takes on physical form to understand better why humans fear him so, the stage is set for a rich and unusual film experience.
One of the great films of the 1930's, it is not as well-remembered as it should be. There is a strange and almost haunting atmosphere to what in the end is realy a romantic look at love itself. Fredric March gives a solid performance as that which we most fear but do not understand. He is appropriately over the top and out of place on earth. Evelyn Veneable is memorable as the girl, Grazia, who Prince Sirki (March) comes to love, experiencing for the first time what it means to be human.
But the world becomes chaotic while Death is on his vacation and Sirki must return to his grim duties. The question is whether the lovely Grazia will still fear him or choose love, even if it means going with him to what lies beyond. It is talky but so full of its darkly romantic atmosphere that it is almost hypnotic. This is truly a masterpiece of mood, the perfect blend of subject matter and atmosphere.
March's "Death" is the focal point but Henry Travers has some fine moments among a cast which includes Gail Patrick. It is Venable herself who carries this film, however, her beautiful eyes and face capturing with emotion and expression both fear and love. It is a true shame more films of this quality did not come her way in the 1930's.
I have never forgotten the first time I saw this film and having seen it more than once since that time have still found beauty in its presentation of love which might live far beyond the shadow which follows us all. This is one of director Mitchell Leisen's finest films. It is a lyrical and compelling look at death and love and an experience no film buff should miss. Highly recommended.』
(Death take a holiday) 『I was only 12 when I first seen this film but I think most of us is missing the point. Death took a holiday people stopped dying and death fell in love. And instead of being separate they were related death and life and love. I loved the dialect. The words they used were English in its proper usage. The romance was in the words not the characters. I was moved by the audio of this film. I actually understood it better than the modern day Joe Black which was made for visual purposes. I love the old films they had lessons and meanings today most just sell sex. This film is how you portray a message without desire but just what if death could take a holiday and fell in love? Unselfish but selfish he wanted to take a break from his job only to learn in his job there was love. People needed to cross over so people could enter a new realm where I believe love calls for them. Like I said before I think some people miss the message in some movies this is a if movie. 』 『Decades before Brad Pitt starred inMeet Joe Black, the story of a vacationing Grim Reaper was adapted for the screen from a popular play. Frederick March, playing Death, disguises himself as a European prince and spends three days with an amenable duke at his palatial estate. Women are instantly attracted to the Lord of the Underworld, but back off when they sense his true nature--that is, all women except for the beautiful young innocent (Evelyn Venable), who is destined to marry the duke's son.
Filmed in 1934, this is more sensual than the Pitt remake, though the acting style is more mannered than some audiences may enjoy. But at only 78 minutes, the emotional content, as well as the ending, feels more real than the lengthy '90s version.--Rochelle O'Gorman』
IPhone 3G used's review (Classic children's entertainment) 『Classic safe children's entertainment. Great for mixed aged kids. No violence. No potty talk. The gold standard for kids under 9.』
(I finally did it) 『I did it. I bought a Disney movie -- I mean a kids-oriented one. And then... I actually showed it to my kids (first I watched it again, just to make sure).
This is so totally out of character for me, that it *does* deserve a gasp of surprise.
Because Disney. DISNEY! No positive male role-models DISNEY! Every male character is a fool, a tool, a slob, or a villain DISNEY! Forget about little boys, because only girls are celebrated DISNEY! And yes, I still think that is the case for Disney. And I wonder who all those little girls will grow up to marry, when all the boys are fools, tools, slobs, or villains.
But Julie Andrews. JULIE ANDREWS! Mary Poppins!
So I cracked. And I bought it.
And I had a few twinges on my view-through -- the put-down of men as "rather stupid" in Mrs. Bank's first number; and the presumption that Mr. Banks' flying a kite with his children was somehow MORE valuable than his daily providing for them (I do appreciate the value of kite-flying, just not the value judgment); and the idea that the kids will respect a nanny who is sweet and pretty, but not one who smells weird.
But I went ahead and showed it to the kids, and I'm so glad, because we have been singing the songs like crazy and laughing a lot. The absolute fantasy of it is marvelous, and the songs are beautiful. I like how Bert treats Mary. I like how straight Mary is, as though she isn't magical, when she clearly is.
Very nice.
Now I'm wondering about Bedknobs and Broomsticks. Would anyone be so kind as to enlighten me about whether that one is as good? Thanks!
』
(The perfect children's movie) 『I have numerous happy memories of seeing Mary Poppins since the first time (on its re-release in 1980). I go back to it time and again and have never been bored yet! Highlights - the horse race and the dancing cartoon waiter penguins; Chim Chim Chiree and the acrobatic chimney sweeps; Mrs Banks (Glynis Johns) and her 'Votes for Women'; Reginald Owen's Admiral (with a ship on the roof of his house!); the gorgeous 'Feed the Birds'; the special effects in 'A Spoonful of Sugar'; Ed Wynn as the giggling Uncle Albert; and of course the brilliant performances from Julie Andrews as Mary, Dick van Dyke as Bert/Mr Dawes senior, Karen Dotrice and Matthew Garber as the children Jane and Michael, Hermoine Baddeley as the maid, and David Tomlinson as Mr Banks. Absolutely brilliant and definitely makes you remember being a child with a big smile on your face. Those who don't like it possibly came to it too late in life, but I can't fault it.』

(Mary Poppins (40th Anniversary Edition)) 『Mary Poppins (40th Anniversary Edition)Excellent video; my granddaughter just LOVES it; she has been watching it repeatedly since she received it. Highly recommend this movie for 3 years and up.』 『There is only one word that comes close to accurately describing the enchantingMary Poppins, and that term was coined by the movie itself: supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Even at 2 hours and 20 minutes, Disney's pioneering mixture of live action and animation (based on the books by P.L. Travers) still holds kids spellbound. Julie Andrews won an Oscar as the world's most magically idealized nanny ("practically perfect in every way," and complete with lighter-than-air umbrella), and Dick Van Dyke is her clownishly charming beau, Bert the chimney sweep. The songs are also terrific, ranging from bright and cheery ("A Spoonful of Sugar") to dark and cheery (the Oscar-winning "Chim Chim Cher-ee") to touchingly melancholy ("Feed the Birds"). Many considerMary Poppinsto be the crowning achievement of Walt Disney's career--and it was the only one of his features to be nominated for a best picture Academy Award untilBeauty and the Beastin 1991.--Jim Emerson』
