It's a beautiful deep red. My grandmother just adores it as much as do - definitely cross-generational and fit for any queen!!

this is the WORST disney movie i have ever seen and its got cheesy singing, a stupid storyline and is VERY stereotypical of native americans and its an overall failure. The movie becomes incredibly predictable and is NOT entertaining the say the least.

This provider shipped the product quickly and everything appeared to be in wonderful condition, but halfway through the movie one entire scene kept skipping and freezing so the experience was ruined. I also wish I had known that none of the extra scenes would be included in the bonus features. I wish I could say everything was great but I was very disappointed. : (

Ha ha, a gift for my 18 yr old. Avatar is repeat of this classic Disney tale.

No problems. It was new as promised and came a lot quicker than I expected. I ordered a couple days before Christmas, and received it within 5 days.

My Granddaughter Loves It and that's who I bought it for, so that is perfect. Personally, I think it's a pretty good cartoon movie myself.

This movie should be in all Tempts.collections. I never get tired of watching this movie,but it still pisses me off,knowing what I know now,about the truth about Paul,Eddie and David,Otis not giving them the credit that they deserved,and focused on all their bad points,Otis would be NOTHING without them and I trul feel that he is still jeolous and in a way he still is living in THEIR shaddow,and for that,he feels the need to knock them down to make himself look &feel good about himself and that is sad. I onl wish is that the others were still with us,so we would the TRUTH and nothing TRUTH. C. Strickland

The Temptations was the very first concert I went to as a teenager. They were then and are still one of my favorite groups ever. Amazing performances, amazing music, Temptations forever!

I prefer to review the seller. The item arrived broken and they promptly refunded me every cent. So bravo to them.

Musically oriented filmmaker Allan Arkush directs this fine biopic which tracks the legendary career of The Temptations. One of R&B's most influential, revered bands, the five men enjoyed overnight success and helped define the Motown period. Like many other success stories, though, this one has a dark side -- with self-destructive impulses and personal problems threatening to destroy the band's reign. In addition to capturing the drama of the group's rise and fall, THE TEMPTATIONS features eight of the classic songs which made them legendary, including "My Girl," "Papa Was A Rollin' Stone," and "Get Ready." This movie is absolutely wonderful. The amazing acting, wonderful storyline, and admirable tear-jerker ending. You'll love this classic.

If you are a music fan of the 60's and 70's this DVD is a must have for your collection.

I keep looking for these on DVD. can't understand why they don't. These are great kids movies, good acting and singing and good quality for the family. 20,000 leagues under the sea is my favorite, but this one is nice also, with no violance, considering the subject matter is a nice touch.

This is a WONDERFUL movie for kids. Absolutely nothing to be wary of, totally wholesome, exciting, and FUN! My kids love it. I only wish more movies were made with these Crayola Kids!

We viewed The Trojan Horse at our 6th grade school inconjunction with our study on ancient Greece. The kids and teachersalike loved it. The students even asked to see it twice in one day! Itis a truely wonderful movie that keeps everyone interested and entertained while giving a basic history lesson. (Though not totally accurate, differences are easily explained.) END

Although several historical points were mistranslated. Such as the fact that in the 10 year war not one person was seen to die. And a girl warrior named Zelda was added to the Greek Army. But it was a lovely adaptation for children. Adam Wylie was excellent as always.

The characters (all played by child actors) are fun and capture the attention of preschool thru school age children. Great songs and silly situations that tell the classic story are a delight to all.

I actually stopped someone several months ago and complimented her on her fragrance. When she told me it was Christian La Croix, I tried unsucessfully to find it in perfume shops, department stores and online. It wasn't until it dawned on me to check Amazon (of course, why didn't I think of that before) that I found this beautiful fragrance. I found out on Amazon that it was by Avon! Now, I wear perfume everyday, but from the very first time I wore Rouge, my husband asked me what I was wearing and said that I smelled absolutely beautiful!!!! I am ordering the lotion and shower gel next!

Bought this for my husband, lots of fun, easy to use! Occasionally it will replay the same song, but other than that, it is definitely a good buy and a useful item for those wanting to Praise the Lord and get in shape!

It turned out to be great fun for the whole family. great for a group of friends. The music is excellent, sticks in your head. We all got better as the evening progressed. Best part is that I don't need to worry what "message" my kids are getting as they are "working out". For all of the adults, we laugh at one another and kept going. Ordered a couple more to have on hand for birthday gifts.....excellent value for the money. Gave it to my niece and nephew for Xmas....I was the favorite Aunt...especially when I danced with them.

My daughter has tried to program and use this product but it is not functioning properly. Because she is a student she has only had time to try it out a few times. The arrows disappear on the screen or freeze. one of the sensors on the mat is not in the right place so it is hard to get the list of songs to stop where we want it to stop and play. She has tried to re load the program with no success. The problems remain. We think the product is defective but because of limited amount of time from the time product was received and tried out we have run out of time on the 30 day warranty for returns. The on-line testing site for the product says it is working when we can clearly see it is not. The computer being used is brand new since November so it is not the computer.

Wow! This product is exactly what we wanted. My 16 year old twin girls love it! We have two dance pads so they play at the same time. We also have two expansion packs and they love having the large variety of music. It is lots of fun and works perfect! I would recommend this product for any age.

Dance Praise 2 -the ReMix It's Christian Music, but it's just like the stuff you here on the radio (in fact a couple songs are played on mainstream Top 40 radio). It is soooo easy to hook up & get started. I was up in running in like 2 mins! It was fun & I could tell I was working my legs and you can get your heart rate up too! Different levels, so you can start out easy if you'd like.

I feel that this is probably one of the most important books to be read not only by those considering re-marrying, but for any person preparing for their first marriage. Too much time is spent getting ready for the wedding day, and much too little time preparing for the journey of daily married life. Thousands of dollars are spent on weddings. I recommend that anyone even thinking of marriage, spend a few dollars to buy this book. You will be ever the wiser and richer for it!

I had found a book at the library I really liked & found it online. The price was good & was received it in very timely manner. I had no problems with this order & would use again. The book was also used but in very good condition.

I bought this book many years ago and gave it away so I had to purchase another copy. The workbooks that go with it are also wonderful. I use this book for teaching on marriage (I am a pastor), and my husband and I used this book prior to our marriage (we were both previously married). The information in this book is very accurate and helpful in avoiding future problems in your marriage - my husband and I have referred back to its information many times. You won't go wrong in purchasing this book.

The perils and pitfalls of second marriages come with a lot of stress. Your happily ever after can be all that you hoped for if you are properly prepared. That's why I wrote "Every Single Girl's Guide To Her Future Husband's Last Divorce", to help second wives understand divorce, family law, and how to prevent financial stress. This book is the perfect companion to mine, offering a complete guide to emotional readiness and giving couples the tools they need to stay in love forever.

It's not the most eye-opening, revolutionary book ever written, and not even the best book on the subject I've read lately, but it did have a few pearls of wisdom. I would recommend it to someone divorced or separated thinking about dating again.

My six year old really liked this book a lot and as always these books present a great message without being "preachy". Definitely recommend.

Ahh, sibling rivalry! The little boy in this story (about ten years old) has asked God to help him sell his innocently energetic, pig-tailed, little sister, Ally Grace. He tells how annoying and mean she can be, then assures others she will be nice to them. He's ready to bargain with anyone interested in buying her. As he mentions all of the bad things Ally Grace is capable of, he begins to wonder what it would be like not having her around. After some thought, he begins to see the good she is capable of and changes his mind. God is mentioned twice in this book. Once, in the beginning, and then at the end. At first, it appears the young boy is asking God for help. Later, it's clear he is asking God to help him do a terrible thing. The little boy doesn't turn to God for good. I think the author should have taken the opportunity to create a good relationship between God and the little boy. Maybe there should have been an adult in the picture helping the older brother understand he needs to ask God to help him cope with his sister. It's cute, comical, and even made me laugh, but I would not consider it to be a children's Christian book.

This is a really great book! I bought this book for my son when he was having a hard time loving his sister. It went over really well and he loves this book!

Great fun for me to share with my grandchildren as well as my own sister and brother. For Christmas I put old pictures of my brother, sister and I in a book for each of them. I then responded to the thoughts on each page with little quips of my own, remembering our own childhood memories. I put a brother or sister poem on the back inside cover and because we were all lucky enough to share the Christmas holiday with each other, I put one in each of their stockings for Christmas morning. What a special memory for all of us about being sisters and brothers growing up and what a special way to teach my grandchildren about the value of having a sibling. Humor is a grand way to get a message across!

This book is a fun way to be able to address the issue of sibling rivalry. Michelle writes in a way that makes it enjoyable to read with your children. You will definitely laugh when you read how a big brother comes up with a creative way to get rid of his pesky little sister. This would make a great gift for an older sibling when a new baby arrives!

It's a good list of word problems that can't help but help the student who does them. It of course needs to be checked by a parent and the more difficult ones be explained by a parent.

I bought this CD in hopes of listening to it several times; picking up new things here and there, but really, it is just as the title says "beginner's guide." Guess I was expecting a little bit more... I listened to it twice, then moved on. If you are totally 100% new to Buddhism, then this in an okay introduction; though perhaps you money would be better spent on The Complete Idiot's Guide to Zen Living or Buddhism for Dummies.

I honestly don't understand why the authors of this game chose some of the adjectives they did. I mean, what card are you supposed to play for "Spicy"? I guess maybe if you happened to be holding "Myrrh" or the Song of Solomon, it might be appropriate and funny, but it just so happened the only card I had in my hand was the Blessed Mother Mary herself, and my aunt Gladys did not find that at all amusing. But it gets even worse: I swear that if it wasn't for this game, I never would have made the mental connection between the Virgin Mother and spiciness. Not in a million years. But now, thanks to Apples to Apples, I can't think anything else. I see a pieta at the Met and the first thought in my head isn't "serene masterpiece" but "mmmm . . . spicy." So if St. Peter is anywhere near as harsh a judge as my darling aunt Gladys, I fully expect that thanks to this game I just might find myself in some Sartrean vision of hell that ironically consists of an unending game of Apples to Apples Bible Edition. To escape this fate, I'm considering converting to the Yiddish Edition.

We ordered this as a Christmas gift for my husband's parents. We enjoy the regular version, but they'd prefer the Bible version. It is fun & we enjoy playing.

We found this to be as fun, and even funnier than the original. We have both versions now and play both fairly equally. You really need to have a sense of humour to play this Christian version. If you don't, you may be offended. If you're easily offended don't buy this. For the rest of us who know how to laugh, this is a great, rated G, family game. I only have to disagree with the ages. I believe the box says 10 and up. My 7 year old can play both versions and loves these games. Although it's for 4 players and up, we sometimes add a 'dummy' hand when it's just the 3 of us. This helps keep the balance so my son doesn't pick based on who played a card- Mom or Dad HA HA! just good clean fun. Either version, or both, you can't go wrong.

Have played with various groups and it is a fun game to play with young and old. Great family game!

I bought this for my college fellowship group and we had a fun time playing the Bible version. Every red card has a Bible verse as a reference to the word. Although this game can get quite blasphemous if the judges are lookig for funny than serious, especially when you have people named Matthew or Mary in your group.

Played this with our family. It is a lot of fun, and a learning experience for everyone. Everyone had a great time.

Received on the day I needed it which was days sooner than expected and in perfect condition. YEA - thanks!!

I am a Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist. I have used this board game in both neuro rehabilitation units, as well as mental health units in hospital settings. I have also used it working in skilled nursing facilities. I LOVE this game. Promotes reminisence therapy, values clarification, social skills training, fine motor skills, range of motion, etc. I love it so much, I have purchased one for my family to enjoy playing together. We all need wholesome leisure and recreation in our lives, and this game is perfect!

I particularly love to get this out when my parents come to visit. It's great to have the kids get to tell their stories and listen to all of ours. The Alternate cards are perfect for the questions the kids don't have a clue for.

My kids (10, 8, 5) LOVE this game. They mostly love it for the stories that my husband and I end up telling, it is a great way for them to learn a bit about our past and who we are. We are also quite interested in the responses our children have to the cards. If they ever draw a card that doesn't apply, they just pick up a different one. Here are some sample questions: Where was a special place you liked to play as a child? Tell about one of the best gifts you have ever received? Tell about a famous person you have met? Thumb wrestle with the person across from you. What is your favorite time of year and why? Recall a time when you got into trouble at school? Tell about a time when you helped someone. Describe one of the worst weather conditions which you have been in. And so on. We've lost the game board, but still pull this game out and just grab a card and start talking. Now I haven't actually tried to get my kids to play this with their friends, in part because we've lost the game board, but overall, this is an excellent game for bringing families closer and sharing family stories and history.

This product is absolutely AMAZING! The detail is wonderful and it looks SO MUCH like the real character! I highly recommend it!

at the moment this is the first of 3 dc direct figures that i now own. the packaging is quite nice and would look good MIB, but i love to display my figures the way i want which as a collector is where the value lay. the figure has a little less articulation then i had hoped but is still good enough paired with the adjustable stand to pull off some nice poses. the likeness is great and apart from custom jobs is the best (Heath)looking joker on the mass market. the paint could have been applied better and brought more of the sculpts details out but from the box the head is quite nice all the same. the accessories are good if not movie accurate but the bank robber mask barley fits over his head without a lengthy struggle and it only sits right on the face if you push hard inward. other than that and a few strands hanging from the suit. its a great value and display piece. a must buy!

For the price, this Joker is by far the best on the market and has a better likeness of the "movie Joker" than anything else I've seen under $[...]. The HotToys "bank robber" version probably has the best likeness of all the figures, but at $[...] some may have trouble justifying the purchase. After years of collecting, I've finally found something that I can proudly display out of the package (*gasp*). The clothing on this is great and as close to the movie as it can get. Nitpickers will say that there are no socks, the stitching is off, the vest and shirt don't match perfectly, etc. Those people need to get a life and realize nothing in this world is perfect, especially nothing molded out of plastic, mass produced and assembled in a sweatshop, and sold for 90% more than it cost to make. I will now take the time to nitpick, as I have no life. The makeup/face could have been done much better. it's too perfect, too clean. There was never a point in the movie when the makeup was this perfect. From the point when "grumpy" removed his mask, we were able to see some flesh tones under the thinly applied makeup. That being said, whoever looks at the pictures of this figure before buying can clearly see how perfect the makeup looks. I knew long before receiving this in the mail that the face was not movie accurate, and was perfectly fine with it. I am very impressed with how much the facial structure resembles how Ledger looked in the movie. Overall this is a great figure and would be an excellent addition to anybody's collection.

Nice job by DC direct. Highly detailed figure with striking likeness of the late Heath Ledger. Collector's dream!

Striking likeness of Heath Ledger as the movie Joker character. Some flaws from the manufacturer had to be corrected, like some overstitching on the shoulder of the overcoat and the jacket, but otherwise well done. The figure can strike some very powerful poses, but sadly the hands leave much to be desired, with only being able to swivel at the wrists. Adding a pair of socks makes this figure look so much better. In many ways, I rate this figure better than the Hot Toyz version, and even the shortcomings can be fixed or updated and still be well below the HT price. I gave this one Figure of the Year for a Movie figure. My Complete review full of pictures at this link ... [...] I hope that is permitted, as it is a very in depth photo review of the item, working from the undressed figure up to complete, to show the great articualtion and what it can do, and I think many will find it helpful. For the money, not bad, just wish the hands were so much better done.
