Now I prefer the finger down the throat, herion addited woman, however, it is nice to see some real, as created women (naked of course).Wonderful bodies, errie plot, nice camera work, overall a well rounded erotic horror movie. I hate spiders,this I freely admitt, however if like myself you are an aracnicphobic, don't let the spider scene scare you off. It has apbout 25 legs so it's not really a spider.

{ "character": "Alice", "review": "This book is sad but at the same time interesting. I think it should be rated four stars. The Circuit doesn't have a happy ending. A summary of this book is, a boy named Panchito and his family sneak illegally over the border from Mexico to America when he is about six years old. The book ends when he is around fourteen years old. Panchito for parts of the year and goes to school in other parts. He and his family have to move a lot. Torito, Panchito's little brother gets very sick and may not live. They are very are very poor and have to work very hard for money. Panchito has a big family, he has a mom, dad, and seven sisters and brothers. Overall I don't really like how this book skips his ages like 7-12 or 6-8. Also, there was lots of words in Spanish I couldn't understand. This book would probably be good for ages 10-15.

A summary of this book is, a boy named Panchito and his family sneak illegally over the border from Mexico to America when he is about six years old. The book ends when he is around fourteen years old. Panchito for parts of the year and goes to school in other parts. He and his family have to move a lot. Torito, Panchito's little brother gets very sick and may not live. They are very are very poor and have to work very hard for money.

{ "character": "Bob", "review": "These filters have a clear spot in the center which has nofilter effect. This means that the subject in the center of thepicture is reproduced clearly while the surrounding area which isoften distracting is changed, usually colored or darkened. The mainarea of use is for portraits. The transition from subject tobackground, and also the size of the clear circular area, depend onfocal length and aperture. The transition is more gradual when theaperture is opened wider. The circle becomes larger as focal length isincreased. The circle becomes larger and less clearly defined if thefilter is placed further forward. The distance between your lens andthe Center Spot filter can be varied by using the Cokin Modular Hoodand a Coupling ring .The Bicolor filters are not symmetricallycolored, and different effects can be obtained with the same filterjust by rotating the filter holder...", "title": "Center Spot Bicolor" }

{ "character": "Alice", "review": "Lilly Tuck grabbed a couple of wonderful historical figures and has written a truly wretched novel. Francisco Solano Lopez and Eliza Lynch were the Paraguayan power couple who looted shamelessly and drove their poor country to near total destruction in the 1860's. Their story will make a fine book some day, alas that day is not today. Tuck has given us wooden cut-outs where real people should be, a story with loose ends and meaningless sub-plots and don't even get me started on her silly sex scenes. In sum, don't even think of wasting your time on this book.", "title": "What WAS she thinking?" }

{ "character": "Alice", "review": "First off I wanted Son Of a Gun remixes. But I didn't want to spend (the mondy) for a cd single. And I noticed on her newer version of just All For You had the bonus track BUT I didn't want to spend (the money) for an album that I already owned just for one song. So instead this DVD package came out (...). Well hey, I get the SoaG remixes along with a collection of videos on DVD...you can't go wrong if you're a Janet fan.I am very pleased that I spent the money on what I did. Granted it is the clean version but that's cool. She cannot please everyone. Her and Virgin are blasted first because she used profanity and now by fans because she and Virgin took them out for this collection!!For anyone who is a music lover, a DVD buyer and a definite Janet Jackson fan (or even Jacksons)...I recommend it.::please note that the videos doesn't include the A&M; videos...for that try Design of a Decade on DVD-which was released not to long ago)", "title": "I am very pleased..." }
