IPhone 3G used's review (Great movie experience) 『Die Hard is written in history as one of the greatest action movies of all time and viewing it on Blu-ray just makes the experience even better. The picture has been cleaned up and looks sharp, much better than I've ever seen it. More impressive is the sound quality; Everything was very clear, from the dialogue to explosions to gunshots. The surround sound is a GREAT mix. I highly recomend this for any fans of quality action films.』
(One of the best action movies ever!) 『This is a stunning film. It's got tension, great lines, some fantastic action and a brilliant performance from Bruce Willis. Some really gripping, edge of seat action. A great movie!』
(Die Hard) 『The original and the best in my opinion! See Alan Rickman in his breakout role and in his prime! Also, Bruce Willis still had some hair left! Hard to believe this movie is 20 years old.』
(" I am going to count to three. There will not be a four.") 『I loved this movie when I first saw it in 1988, and I still love it today. I watch it every Christmas - which may say something about me. I don't already have to say to the legions of Die-Hard fans just how good this movie is, so I will comment on the DVD.
This is the best DVD, and hint, hint, if you look at the special features, you will see there is a longer version of the movie! Granted its only 5 minutes and because the footage was never used, it does not have the "finished" look of the rest of the film, but its a great few minutes none the less - especially if you like Alan Rickman.
I am hoping for a 20th anniversary edition, but hey, I shall enjoy this one immensely for many Christmases to come!』
(Action-packed thrill ride) 『Every so often,a film comes along that resets the standard for it's genre.Die Hard did just that very thing for action films. Any film that inspires copycats and wannabes really does it's job well.Bruce Willis made a very successful transition from the small screen to the big screen as the everyday Joe forced into being the hero. This film has all the necessary ingredients to qualify it as a great action film. All you have to do is see it for yourself. Particularly well done is the performance of Alan Rickman as the chief villain, Hans Gruber. You can come up with good arguments for many action films as to which is the best all time,and this one is no exception.Well done.』 『Bruce Willi stars as New York City Detective John McClane, newly arrived in Los Angeles to spend the Christmas holiday with his estranged wife (Bonnie Bedelia). But as Mclane waits for his wife's office party to break up, terrorist take control of the building. While the terrorist leader, Hans gruber (Alexander Godunov) round up hostages, McClane slips away unnoticed. Armed with only a service revolver and his cunning, McClane launches his own one-man war. A crackling thriller from beginning to end, Die Hard explodes with heart-stopping suspense.』 『This seminal 1988 thriller made Bruce Willis a star and established a new template for action stories: "Terrorists take over a (blank), and a lone hero, unknown to the villains, is trapped with them." InDie Hard, those bad guys, led by the velvet-voiced Alan Rickman, assume control of a Los Angeles high-rise with Willis's visiting New York cop inside. The attraction of the film has as much to do with the sight of a barefoot mortal running around the guts of a modern office tower as it has to do with the plentiful fight sequences and the bond the hero establishes with an LA beat cop. Bonnie Bedelia plays Willis's wife, Hart Bochner is good as a brash hostage who tries negotiating his way to freedom, Alexander Godunov makes for a believable killer with lethal feet, and William Atherton is slimy as a busybody reporter. Exceptionally well directed by John McTiernan.--Tom Keogh』 『This seminal 1988 thriller made Bruce Willis a star and established a new template for action stories: "Terrorists take over a (blank), and a lone hero, unknown to the villains, is trapped with them."

IPhone 3G used's review (Not what you'd expect) 『I bought this game from amzon.com, used, and must say that after it arrived and i played it i did not like it. I own the same game for PS1 and expected it to be somewhat similar on the G.BOY. It is not. the playing field is on a 45 degree angle instead of straight up and down, which cuts out alot of the ability to see your wide recivers. it is somewhat glitchy and just over all dissapointing. I'm glad i only spent 5 bucks including shipping other wise i would really be P.O.'d with my purchase.Duplicate -- NFL Blitz 2000』

Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (CROUCHING TIGER) 『I RECIEVED MY ITEM IN GOOD CONDITION AS PROMISED AND IT ARRIVED IN A TIMELY MATTER. THE MOVIE WAS OF GOOD QUALITY.』
(Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) 『This was a very good movie. My second time watching it.
My only drawback from 5 star is that it was very dark at times. I believe the mechanics of making Fighting movies keeps it that way.
But if they ever lighten the fighting scenes, the star will be awarded.』
(Very accessible with a broad appeal, deeply influential in bringing asian style to western films. . .. . .) 『Now, I know a lot of people don't love this movie. But hear me out before you disagree. I acknowledge that this film was made with a western audience in mind. That means that as a typical wuxia film it is watered-down by comparison. It was also apparent that they tried to do a lot with the script, probably too much, so as to please the arthouse crowd.
Because of those things I can't review it as a traditional HK film. Also, this movie was the final part in a three-part process that was absolutely critical to American cinema.
Part 1: The introduction of Jet, Jackie, Michelle, John, Chow, Tsui and Ringo to American audiences. It got them used to seeing the kung fu, the wires, and stylistic, kinetic bullet ballet.
Part 2: "The Matrix". "The Matrix" took HK choreography, wires and all, and made it mainstream acceptable. Sure, a lot of our directors tried it and failed, but at least the audience was ready for it (and even now anticipating it).
Part 3: "Crouching Tiger". A full Asian film, starring Asian actors, loaded with HK choreography and stylish wirework. A film that 5 years prior would have been an arthouse flick, at best, was now a mainstream, widely accepted, critically acclaimed, award winning film. This film finally made it acceptable to import more and more of HK to our shores.
Look at what has happened since this film came out. Look how many more Asian action films find their way to our theaters...and not just the little theaters. We've been given Dragon Dynasty so we can get great picture quality, no editing to our movies, subtitles that actually mean something, and extras that have translation to them. Asian re-makes are all the rage in the US. And on and on. . .
As an up and coming filmmaker who grew up watching all the great classic asian action films, it is now acceptable for me to incorporate a true HK style into my work. When I tell the studio I want to hang 2 of my actors from wires and have them fly around fighting one another, there's no fights or strange looks. Hellboy 2 was loaded with wire work. And we owe it all to CTHD.
Besides that I do enjoy the film immensely. I got a little choked-up during the first fight between Michelle Yeoh and Zhang Ziyi when people in the theater were cheering, watching something I'd known existed for decades. Better late than never.
Wo Ping is a true artist, and CTHD gave him the talent and the leeway to create- talent and leeway that the Matrix was lacking. The visuals are spectacular. The performances are incredible. I always liken Chow to Morgan Freeman. No matter what role they play, they always bring a certain degree of respect and sophistication, with just a hint of the regal, to it.
It is a fantastic movie. And more than that, it is an important movie. No, it is not pure HK. It is watered-down and it does have its flaws. But I love it and I will always be grateful to it for the doors it opened.』
(CROUCHING TIGER UN-HIDDEN SUBTITLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!) 『I was expecting so much out of this movie because of all the hype following it. I am an avid reader and do not normally mind subtitled movies (ie.. Pan's Labyrinth and Kung-Fu Hustle.. BTW, Kung-Fu Hustle is LOTS OF FUN!) but there were PARAGRAPH AFTER PARAGRAPH, NOT SENTENCES, OF DIALOG.. FAR TOO MANY SUBTITLES GOING ON AND ON FOREVER, AND GOING BY QUICKLY, that I could not figure out who was who or what was what in this movie. I lost the plot in the first half hour. I was so busy trying to read that my contacts kept drying out and I could not enjoy anything else going on in the film. If you're a martial arts purist, maybe you would enjoy it more than myself. Also, maybe I could have enjoyed it more dubbed in English.』
(Sucky Ending) 『This movie was good until the ending which made no sense and sucked. Also all the people just "flying" around seemed kinda silly... And I like kung fun movies, but this one was a little over the top unbelievable...』 『Named "Best Picture of the Year" by over 100 critics nationwide! Two master warriors (Chow Yun Fat and Michelle Yeoh) are faced with their greatest challenge when the treasured Green Destiny sword is stolen. A young aristocrat (Zhang Ziyi) prepares for an arranged marriage but soon reveals her superior fighting talents and her deeply romantic past. As each warrior battles for justice they come face to face with their worst enemy - and the inescapable enduring power of love. Set against 19th-century China's breathtaking landscape CROUCHING TIGER HIDDEN DRAGON is the action-packed box office smash from acclaimed director Ang Lee (Sense and Sensibility The Ice Storm) featuring stunning martial arts choreography by Yuen Wo Ping (The Matrix).System Requirements:Starring: Michelle Yeoh Chow Yun Fat Zhang Ziyi Chang Chen Cheng Pei Pei Directed By: Ang Lee Running Time: 120 Min. Copyright Sony Pictures Home Entertainment 2005Format: UMD Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE Rating: PG-13 UPC: 043396115590 Manufacturer No: 11559』 『Hong Kongwuxiafilms, or martial arts fantasies, traditionally squeeze poor acting, slapstick humor, and silly story lines between elaborate fight scenes in which characters can literally fly.Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragonhas no shortage of breathtaking battles, but it also has the dramatic soul of a Greek tragedy and the sweep of an epic romance. This is the work of director Ang Lee, who fell in love with movies while watchingwuxiafilms as a youngster and madeCrouching Tigeras a tribute to the form. To elevate the genre above its B-movie roots and broaden its appeal, Lee did two important things. First, he assembled an all-star lineup of talent, joining the famous Asian actors Chow Yun-fat and Michelle Yeoh with the striking, charismatic newcomer Zhang Ziyi. Behind the scenes, Lee called upon cinematographer Peter Pau (The Killer,The Bride with White Hair) and legendary fight choreographer Yuen Wo-ping, best known outside Asia for his work onThe Matrix. Second, in adapting the story from a Chinese pulp-fiction novel written by Wang Du Lu, Lee focused not on the pursuit of a legendary sword known as "The Green Destiny," but instead on the struggles of his female leads against social obligation. In his hands, the requisite fight scenes become another means of expressing the individual spirits of his characters and their conflicts with society and each other.
The filming required an immense effort from all involved. Chow and Yeoh had to learn to speak Mandarin, which Lee insisted on using instead of Cantonese to achieve a more classic, lyrical feel. The astonishing battles between Jen (Zhang) and Yu Shu Lien (Yeoh) on the rooftops and Jen and Li Mu Bai (Chow) atop the branches of bamboo trees required weeks of excruciating wire and harness work (which in turn required meticulous "digital wire removal"). But the result is a seamless blend of action, romance, and social commentary in a populist film that, like its young star Zhang, soars with balletic grace and dignity.--Eugene Wei』
IPhone 3G used's review (Poor language&equally poor message) 『This movie is a far cry from the original.
I lost track of how many times the kids and adults in this film swore gratuitiously. Worse yet, when the winning team acknowledges the Bears hard work and achievements, instead of viewers being rewarded with a scene exhibiting good sportsmanship, the film makers decide to have the losing team learn nothing, except how to deliver the film's seemingly trademark message of "Kiss my ***".
』
(Nice film) 『I bought this film for my cousin who watched this movie on HBO. I am not very intrested in films but my cousin tells me that this is one of the best american films he has seen till now. It appears that kids will enjoy this film but elders may not.』
(Funny if uninspired) 『I didn't think this was as awful as many reviews claim, in fact I think it is "good old days" hindsight that has many claim the original was so much better. In fact, this is almost a carbon copy of the original from the musical score right down to the disturbing clone who plays Tanner. There are updates to be sure and I thought there were some unnecessary moments and changes made (why the switch from Chico's Bail Bonds to a strip club?) but it is every bit as "offensive" as it was in 1976 and it is what it is: a crude movie about a bunch of misfits who show the sleepy little world of suburbia that not everyone is a perfect little tool. Is it an original idea? No. But it does make for some good laughs and there is enough of a message, albeit a heavy-handed one, about sportsmanship, the "everyone's a winner" mentality vs. the "win at all costs" attitude, and acceptance. Billy Bob Thornton and Greg Kinnear do well reprising Matthau and Morrow and the kids are all fittingly obnoxious when they need to be. 』
(zero stars) 『There was nothing on so I decided to watch this piece of crap movie. No wonder kids nowadays are so stupid and bratty, their parents let them watch and act like the ones on this movie...and celebrating at a certain 'adult'/desperate mens restaurant with kids? Come on! I cant believe how many people thought this movie was good, or even OK. Its garbage and shows how low society is falling.』
(Funny move) 『I love this movie. I had it already on DVD. Now I have it for Psp to take along on trips.』 『A fresh take on the irreverent 1976 comedy hit, "The Bad News Bears" follows a grizzled former minor league baseball player who is recruited to coach a woefully inept Little League team to a championship against their hated rivals, the Yankees.』 『In a fitting follow-up toBad SantaandFriday Night Lights, Billy Bob Thornton makes the most of the remake trend inBad News Bears. He's just the right guy to inherit Walter Matthau's role from the original 1976 version about a lousy Little League team baseball team coached by a curmudgeonly drunk, and the original team of misfits has been updated (but not upgraded) to an ethnic mix that includes an Indian math whiz, a pair of Latino twins, and a paraplegic kid who doesn't play until the final championship game. It's a little sad to see a talented director like Richard Linklater doing an unnecessary remake, but his experience onSchool of Rockmade him the obvious choice to mine comedy gold from the collision of Thornton and a batch of unruly, prepubescent kids (including Sammi Kraft, an all-star Little Leaguer in the role originated by Tatum O'Neal). With Marcia Gay Harden and Greg Kinnear in supporting roles, this isn't family fare (the potty-mouthed kids deservedly earned a PG-13 rating), but Thornton's easygoing presence makes it worthwhile for anyone who's not too attached to the original version.--Jeff Shannon』

IPhone 3G used's review (a little too young) 『I bought this game thinking it would be an action packed adventure. It is fun, but the age groups should be for 4-10. You have to collect flowers as you move through the castle, then collect butterflies as you move through the forest, then do a slide puzzle, then go through a series of mazes, then collect more items for a while. You also get to move a deer on cliffs, and catch plates, and do one of the things where the items drop and when they are in piles of 3 they go away, and you do a matching game, and you spray vultures to make them disappear. There are 2 modes: Story and Playground. There are 2 levels: Easy and Challenge. Easy is so unbelievably easy and challenge is a bit harder but still quite easy. Overall it is a pretty good game. I would recommend it to children ages 4-10.』
(Snow white is ok i guess) 『i brought this game for my 5 year old daughter and she hardly ever plays with it. to me it was a waste of money and i would not recommend this game to someone else.』
(Snow White) 『I purchased this game for my 11 year old daughter and she loves it. According to her it's fun to collect the items. You have to look really hard to find them. It's challenging enough to be fun but not too difficult. The mini games are like breaks in between each level (or chapter). Even once you are done all the levels, it is fun to do them all again and discover new things. I recommend this game.』
(Snow White is a fun game) 『In my opinion the game is pretty fun. It allows you to play two games, the first is the Story game which consists of being Snow White for most of the levels(a dear in one and grumpy in two) and going around and collecting ojects. There are 7 levels and in between each are little games that you have to pass to pass the level. The second game is the playground, where you can choose different little games to play(like the memory game). In both games there are 2 modes to choose: easy or hard. If you actually want to play a game that is interesting and you can jump, then try hard. The easy mode was just way too easy and boring-I finished it in less than 30 minutes on my first try. So the game is good if u try the hard mode.So if I were u I would give it a little chance for the hard mode. Ifyou are somebody who wants a challenge, then I dont think that you should buy it because then even the hard mode would be too easy, and remember that this game was made for little girls and boys, not too much for teens and adults. I hope that my review helped you, Bye.』 『Help Snow White avoid the evil clutches of the jealous queen and seek refuge in the dwarfs' forest home.
