I tend to not be interested in this type of movie aka suspense thriller. I am more of a cult and comedy fan but I enjoyed this movie so much! I couldn't walk away. It kept me wondering the whole time and then ending was perfect. It actually got into my emotions and toyed with them. I was very happy with a movie that was this satisfying the whole way through. Worth the watch even if you don't think you like this genre. Brilliant even and dane cook doesn't do too bad in a serious role either. — —...

It was a great price and is VERY travel friendly. It's compatable with great quality lenses and a wide variety of them so it is very versatile for common and pro use. The only thing I don't like about it is that there is no digital display of the shot before you take it, you are required to look through the viewfinder, however, it's more a matter of getting used to this feature. The only time I find it frustrating is when shooting low you have to lay on the ground and being short when I try to get a shot over my head, or on my tripod fully extended I can't reach. I also have had a problem with my hand getting in the way of the flash while holding it because of my hand on the lens for stability. But both are simple problems to solve and aren't due to the camera itself. Overall satisfied with quality and ease of use (modes, review, color settings, compatibility) and best of all the lack of lag. Highly recommended. I'm not afraid to take this anywhere in any...

I've used a few different brands and this one is by far my favorite. I love that they dissolve, are almost unnoticeable and are super sticky. In past experiences other strips were hard to keep on therefore resulting in 30 minutes twice a day of not talking or sounding stupid and facing them sliding around if you do try to talk. They would also not stay on well and slide around all over the place. I was always fiddling with them and they just weren't comfortable - they were just a pain to use.Sure these dissolving white strips have some downfalls but so did all of the other brands. Leftover residue can be annoying if you are using them on the go but at home it's just another reason to brush your teeth with a whitening toothpaste and get twice the white! These also may not be as strong as some people would like, but if you have major stains it's only logical you will need to have major treatment. Plus they aren't intended for dental work like caps, crowns,...

I had the first nano and was really disappointed with how slowly it turned off, not a huge deal but can be annoying when your late and trying to get out of the car but have to hold the button for awhile until it turns off, so I love the quickness of this new one. The video quality is also alot better than i was expecting. The only downfall is that it doesn't come in 30gb size but who really needs to have all that music with them at once. I think this i a great product, a kid in my class even bought one after checking out mine and agrees that he loves it. It also works great with itunes and itunes has everything you could ask for. Organization and a huge selection of music, podcats and videos. Much better than other mp3's players. Worth buying for more than just the fact that it's ipod brand.  You can also find all sorts of accessories VERY easily which is...
