I have all the Police Story series which were made in 1985,1988,1992 and First Strike filmed in Queensland/Victoria,Australia in 1995/96. But I rate the originalPolice Story the best ever made to date as JC would agree.Why is Armour of God titled as Operation Condor 2? in aussie armour of god is the original title & armour of god 2 is titled as armour of god 2 operation condor. Your retitling confuses me.

As I was reading this book I wanted to jump on the first plane to London and help the "littlest Detective". I am looking forward to the rest of the series. Don't keep it just for the kiddies - chill out and enjoy the light and fun adventure a little girl in London, embarking on a huge and exciting mystery.

A fun, clever read.

I found the mystery which carried Picky through the novel was thoroughly enrapturing. I hung on every chapter waiting for the next move. Picky's character was gently unfurled as she continued in a brilliantly original 'time travel'. Don't keep this for the teenagers as it is very enjoyable at any 'older' age level. I didn't want it to end and am looking forward to Naylus' next novel The Plaguemaker.

A deliciously exciting read.

I ordered by noon and received it the next day! You saved the day!!!! AGAIN! Some people have "warned" me not to use you guys, but I have no complaints. Just praise. Again, thanks for everything & keep up the good work. BTW--the movie was AWESOME and in excellent condition!

Every street is paved with gold, by Kim Woo-Choong, is a bookthat will appeal to young executives. Kim Woo-Choong, is a self-made billionaire. Kim made his fortune by starting hiscompany Daewoo and by working day and night at exporting a variety of goods to the world market from 1967 to 1997.When the Asian financial crisis hit, Daewoo and many other Korean firms where in deep trouble. At the time, Daewoo was in the middle of a massive global expansion funded by heavily borrowing funds on the world's financial markets.As the crisis deepened, the company struggled to repay its creditors. During the time, Kim took steps to save his company by diverting Daewoo funds and securing illegal loans. Kim is currently a fugitive and in hiding. ( But it is my view that the Korean government at the time, is just as guilty as Kim for the inept way it handled the financial crisis ).It is Kim Woo Chung's life story ( Daewoo ) and that of Chung Ju Yung ( Hyundai ) which is actually inspiring - the achievements of their companies ( via Korea's labor force ) within a 30 year period.This book is filled with short-stories about how a business person should conduct him/herself in the world; what their business outlook, vision and attitude towards opportunity should be. Kim writes about the importance of dreams, visions, optimism and prompt business decisions to entrepreneurs. He gives many examples of how risk taking, hard work,effective time management and the nurturing of skills can transform a business. Kim also stresses leadership characteristics and that hard work is as important as profits.I found certain sections of the book very inspiring. Kim has a forceful way of expressing his ideas in many inspiring quotes. Many of his short stories, contain profound and thought provoking business tips.

How the most successful people in history were told by people that they would fail.2. Focusing on mistakes: When you focus on not making any mistakes, you loosesight of goals. Tom Peters.3. I do not believe in fate that hits a person when he does something, I believe in fate that hits him if he does nothing.4. Every century has its great discoverers - people that are willing to face danger and discovernew worlds and ideas. Americans love such people.5. Long lasting barriers to achievement are created in our minds and not in our bodies. John Crawford.6. We underestimate the opportunity and overestimate the process.7.

I'm only going to add a few comments: Certainly the best of the three so far. But long drawn out film sequences and dialog that never makes any sense turns At World's End into a somewhat dry humourous movie. It is as if Jack Sparrow isn't Jack Sparrow anymore - as if other characters have taken the lead. But the action sequences are out of this world and saves the movie from being foolish.

Watched for 1hour 14 minutes in disappointment. The script is terrible. Don't make the mistake of watching this movie. Why all the hype? How can this be a Clint Eastwood directed movie? Firstly, this movie makes fun of sacrifice. It makes fun of the Japanese commitment to Japan. For sure I do not know precisely what happened at Iwo Jima, all I know is that 22000 fought till only 216 remained. That is a victory. As big as the firefighters of 9/11. It is something, it seems that Clint Eastwood, that willingly directed this movie, will never understand. Having no choice in life but to die honorably.Iwo Jima was a last-stand before the enemy reached Japan, much like the Alamo. Soldiers don't harbor anti-war sentiment when your home and family is threatened - you pull together. Fight and die together. I didn't get the idea that there were 22000 soldiers on the island. The American forces were realistically depicted. This is a clear anti-war movie - only problem is that it makes fun of the commitment of a die-hard enemy facing destruction.

Just a few comments:Not everyone will like it. Technically a brilliant movie. Facinating sets and actors. Bloody battles. A little too cliched, but OK otherwise.Definitely a movie I'd see twice - there is so much detail in the movie,it is difficult to see and take everything in the first time.Stunning battles scenes. Acting was not too bad.I think a difficult theme to make a movie about. Loved certain parts of the movie. Highly recommended for teenagers and adults.

The premise of the movie is so disturbing, that I didn't really enjoy or appreciate the rest of the movie. Civilization as we know it collapses, all the animals too. Human culture, history is gone within 3 years. May it never happen. I feel the flashback technique that is used to tell parts of the story, failed to drive my interest. It should have been used more sparingly - Batman begins, Pirates of the Caribbean 3 are two examples where too many flashbacks only broke the continuity of their story lines. In Equilibrium, a brilliant movie, flashbacks were used more effectively to intensify dramatic moments. Overall, what I found disturbing about the movie is the fact that we learn little about the rest of the world, the US, commercial NY alone seems of interest to the movie makers, a thin story line wrapped in a cheap budget.

It is an interesting movie, because the questions it poses haunts you:can one really take the professor seriously? How important is it to always do the correct thing, no matter what?I personally feel that the professor has an exaggerated outlook on life, that life is after all a game too and therefore it has to be fun too. But there is no doubt that the characteristics displayed by the people that built Rome was of profound importance for the Roman empire and that to emulate such great achievements, men and women of outstanding character is required.

I saw the movie and it was average to OK. So for years I never really went back to the soundtrack. Now I have probably 75% of Hans Zimmer's other soundtracks. And they are stunning: Hans Zimmer is a Mozart of sorts - a true music genius. But this soundtrack of King Arthur, the more you listen to it, the more you realise it is truly a composition that stands out. Highly recommended. One of the best... if not the best of Hans Zimmer.

Profit is about corporate America, about winning at the highest level of business, at all costs, using every means. It follows a businessman named Jim Profit, who comes from a totally unusual background, that really has the killer instinct needed to rise to the very top and succeed. The business ideas in the series are very interesting and are way ahead of their time, written in 1992, and taking place in 1995, it has the foresight to predict in one scene: "Chinese is the language of the future.", so the business ideas, the background of the corporate takeovers, the holding companies and business dealings and relationships is mesmerising to watch. Actor Adrian Pasdar was brilliant as character Jim Profit.

Mel Gibson's Apocalypto.The movie is great in the sense that it is something new. The characters are fun and intriguing to watch. One of the most realistic movies I have seen. But the final third of the movie was Hollywood textbook stuff. It has all been done before and we have seen it all in other movies such as The last of the Mohicans ( a jungle chase and the final duel ) Truth be told, I was waiting for the Europeans to arrive and add some intrigue ... :)But the scenes in the Maya cities were awesome. At that point, I was expecting great things from the movie. Everyone was dressed up. Great characters existed in everyone's mind. Even the Maya high priest was fearsome. At that moment, everyone was afraid. SPOILER AHEAD! - And then a solar eclipse! A highly improbable event. Within the space of ten minutes almost all of the characters are either killed or sacrificed without a struggle and those that remain are killed off in the remaining forty minutes through even more improbable events such as snake bites, traps and jaguars... I expected more at the end of the movie. Imagine the Europeans started killing off the Mayans in the city. A bloodbath, now that would have been interesting.

When I heard Larry Ellison the world's second richest man was involved, I had to go see this movie. Expecting great things. ORACLE sized greatness. Instead don't be fooled by the 4,5 star ratings people give this movie. What a load of rubbish! I expected an action movie - great fights - true war. Not a romance set in a very serious war. The lead actor is terrible. Sorry they cast too young an actor. It wasn't interesting. The only interesting actor was the guy with the lion. The rest I can't even remember. All I will remember from this movie was the zepplin exploding and the funeral where they mention that the guy with the lion was an atheist and that he didn't care much about religion anyway. So that is it - a true waste of money. And these second rate actors and kiddie script writers are getting rich from hype.

Stallone is in great shape! He looks awesome for his age. He surely had one last Rocky Balboa fight in him. But I feel certain elements that made the Rocky series great are missing. Firstly Mickey, the legendary motivational trainer. Perhaps Stallone is afraid of Mickey's shadow, who knows... but I missed flashback clips of Mickey ( and saw too much of Rocky's wife ). Secondly, the legendary training sequences. Stallone owns a restaurant, and after retirement, it seems he remains in heavy weight champion shape! I loved the parts in the other Rocky movies, where you could see him rebuilding his body, getting it into shape. And thirdly, the fight sequences. I am a boxing fan and would have liked to see him having flashbacks of himself struggling, fighting, reliving those great achievements, fights and opponents in his mind, like any retired fighter would do. Strategizing and planning his up and coming fight. NOTHING of Apollo Creed ( C Weathers ), Clubber Lang ( Mr. T ), Captain Ivan Drago ( D Ludgren )... But the movie caries a powerful message: you have to find and be yourself, no matter what others say about you. Even if you are past the "sell by" date. All in all, Stallone remains my favorite action hero of all time. I remember as a child, being so excited about his movies, especially the Rambo series, that I couldn't sleep at night. I've always felt that any one in the Rambo series deserved an oscar.

I'm not going to relate the story - only post my thoughts on the movie.I liked it. I think everyone can identify with the problems the main characters faced. Life is hard. Life is lost jobs, disappointment - a never ending stream of problems. I think even the richest of rich people among us experience it, but especially those that are struggling financially. For them, the emotional struggle and wounds that can be left from years and even decades of struggling can be an overwhelming psychological experience.The movie was quite popular and I sensed that everyone enjoyed it.

Only a few comments:The music was quite good. I'd give the movie 3 1/2 stars. I think the scriptwriters struggled a bit. Nice idea... but I think they struggled to make it really interesting. Actors performed reasonably well. I think Nicolas Cage should play more serious roles. I loved him in Face Off, Con Air and The Rock. But one gets the idea he is too serious an actor for these light action movies. Loved to see Jessica Biel and Julianne Moore together on the big screen.

A masterpiece. I think Hitchcock would have liked it.Yes, this movie is great. It is not a snuff movie. It never glorifies death, instead it is a critical comment on torture. It shows the psychological impact it has on people. This is art, as long as viewers are not degraded by viewing it. Perhaps if we all lived in other countries where torture is used today ( 30+, google it if you don't believe me) - we would get a real sense of the desperation people experience. Life is too easy for us. We look away when people are tortured and declare everyone that dare comment on torture as immoral. This movie is a masterpiece. I will not be intimidated by other reviewers - I walked out of the movie knowing it deserves 5 stars for its category along with 300 & Spielberg's the transformers this year.

Stupid - I think Al Pacino would have read that line out loud with some flair. I think the acting was OK. The problem is the script tries to overcompensate for a lack of drama. When I came to watch the movie, I expected that there probably wouldn't be as much action as in many movies. But it seems the scriptwriter(s) tried to compensate out of fear perhaps or perhaps that is how the book was adapted by flashbacks and all sorts of deceptions - it was not necessary. I just wanted to see two cops in trouble and their emotions acted out by 2 brilliant actors. Which I did in part. Too bad the story had to jump from the past to the present and future so much.

Because most people it seems were willing to sit for two hours watching Nicholas Cage play a drug-addicted detective - hoping somehow he will reform or find a solution or that some twist of fate will bring a conclusion to his hopeless life!And the script is also excellent - you are denied the pleasure of justice, being forced to watch him find pleasure in what is totally destructive. The script constantly draws you into taking a moral position on the subject matter - by either accepting the person's behavior / actions ... accepting / rejecting the movie altogether. I would recommend that children watch this movie with adult supervision - Nicholas Cage in this movie is not a role model to follow.

Unrealistic. Trained soldiers do not behave that way. Hollywood actors acting in a low budget movie act that way. You don't walk around with the scope view on, you only zoom in once you see the enemy. And it is difficult to hit targets if both you and they are moving, even if you have them in scope - you need to kneel with your rifle, stand, lie face down or stabilize it on any object you can find. Google shooting positions. You need to crouch and peek around corners first before entering rooms. You can't rush into rooms shouting "US marines", "US marines". The soldiers talked and shouted to each other during combat! No scouting, plus they rarely hid behind obstacles... $78m. Get professional soldiers to help advise you. The movie was somewhat better from 40min and on.

Made in 1996 it also had only one season. Too bad it took so long to create this movie that follows the 1988 hit Wall Street. Computers were really slow back then and trading was very different.

I found it rather fascinating as neither the Christians nor the Pagans, or even the Atheists in the story act correctly. The story is set in the Middle Ages and deals with how people of various religions deal with the spreading of the Black Death.

Is basically about the questions and challenges we face in life, but presented in a funny way, such as dating, finding a job, marriage, social pressures, what we have achieved in life. The movie describes one wild night with friends going to two parties and their funny reactions to the possibility of making new friends and possibly finding love.

In some parts of Africa. As a South African I can identify with the events, the central ideas and message of the film, these are events everyone struggle to talk about and to describe. Tens millions have been killed like that but things are much better now than what they were in the 1970s and 1980s, when these events were widespread, but today some areas are still unstable, especially some parts of the Democratic Republic of Congo. No amount of political and military influence is able to stop the violence, whether US, Chinese, South African or UN.Western countries owe a debt of gratitude to a number of African groups that continue to sacrifice their people, sometimes millions to fight and fend off certain groups, in order to secure important natural resources for Western and Eastern businesses and to keep certain terrorist groups from acquiring control over the natural resources. South Africans especially owe Mozambicans a debt of gratitude whose country lost about a million civilians in wars and South Africa is consequently helping to rebuild Mozambique, which has seen 7% GDP growth per year over the past 20 years. Google Between 1994 and 2006, average annual GDP growth was approximately 8% for Mozambique. So there is no better way to fight terrorism and violent groups than to build and invest and to keep building and investing.

You will really enjoy watching this movie... the situations Mark Wahlberg gets into with Ted, a talking Teddy Bear is outrageous. Ted, The Teddy Bear is so funny, it's almost unbelievable, he has a natural sense of humor, that's over the top! Incredible. A great movie for Mark Wahlberg, his absolute best. Seth MacFarlane is the director, the writer and the voice of Ted! The comedy world is definitely going to hear a lot more about Seth MacFarlane. What an excellent comedy! All the actors and actresses did very well.

If I could give it 6 stars I would !

I never got bored. This is how an action movie should be. This movie reminds me of the 1980s action movies with speed and adrenaline. I was tired, wanted to go to bed, 11pm and decided to watch just 15 minutes or so of the movie. You could see the movie was really hi-technology and the action non-stop, fast-paced, so I watched the entire movie till 1am. I can recommended GI Joei Retaliation highly as an action movie. James Bond type futuristic action.

The creators of the latest or modern Bond movies want to explore or expose a different side to James Bond's personality. That is what Skyfall is in part about.But I have a challenge for them: create a Bond girl and put her into the movie from the very first minute and keep her character alive to the very last minute. In my view, the Bond girls enter the movies too quickly or die too quickly and Bond has it easy. I would love to see Bond struggle to keep a Bond girl alive or to save or to interact with one for the duration of an entire full movie.

I received the card in good order, yet the packaging is terrible. It has a handle inside the box that you can use to pull the graphics card out of its box. I pulled on the handle and the entire contents fell out onto the ground. Luckily the card was still working.The card runs completely quiet and I can do video rendering, video editing and play the latest games at their maximum requirements, it has 1344 NVIDIA CUDA Cores - a very good card for the price.

They made a massive marketing mistake with the title, it should have been The Collector 2. I certainly didn't make the connection with The Collection and The Collector. I hope they don't make the same mistake again and call the next movie The Collector 3.

If you like Naval battles, stories about Ancient Greece, the development of Western civilization, 500BC, this is a must see. Highly enjoyable on widescreen.In future movies, the producers and writers can recreate all ancient Greek battles and I would watch them. 300: Alexander the Great.Or Rome - 300: The Triumvirate, Caesar, Crassus and Pompey. Lots of action in the lives of those three.The Spartacus series was a brilliant tv series. On par with Game of Thrones.

It was not too bad. The first Die Hard movie came out in 1988. That was a major action movie for that time. It was at the end of the Cold War. This time McClain is in Russia. The action is pretty decent, it is obviously not a movie you would take your girlfriend to - it's an action movie. Perhaps far more could have been done to give us a little more detail about the mystical Cold War and the characters and the plot, but it is pretty standard action.

It's not 1986. Reagan is dead.

The movie contains a lot of computer graphics of space pc games, which I like. I don't think the movie cost a lot to make, I started to enjoy the movie at the end, so I was / am hoping for a sequel of sorts. I really liked the Star Trek series of the 1970s, which was able to really build drama and suspense - and in this movie, that was really lacking. They could also have provided a little more detail about every character and the technology on display - so made it a little longer at 1h 45min.

The movie is about police officers, that deal with riots and the people involved and about the personal relationships between the officers. It is quite interesting, usually 1h30 min is enough to satisfy someone's curiosity, but I think one would have loved to seen more about the characters. The movie makers should be quite pleased with the end result.

Older childen would really enjoy it. The violence element has been toned down - completely. It's almost more a video game now than the original die hard action movie of 1988. I think it is 2nd best in the series of Robocop movies. It does miss / skip a few scenes that would give body to the plot of the movie. But overall it is enjoyable, watchable. Frigtening and interesting at times. Samuel L Jackson plays a bigger than usual role in the movie that has his own talk show. What could be improved on the movie? It is difficult to say. I think it is difficult to re-create the intense drama that was Robocop of the 1980s, without the same level of violence.

The movie is not too bad

I read this book right when it came out, in fact, I had it on pre order. I wasn't a big fan of Neil Strauss because I didn't want to read about picking up chicks and what not. As for this book I had a very good read. I didn't mind listening in on Neil's adventures through discovering ways of intermingling with oneself. This book is definitely not a survival book but a book based on ones stories of finding out how to survive in a very rationed place on earth. He talks about visas for half the book and he also talks about his own life story for the other. In the end, not bad, but not great. I give the book a 2.5 out of 5.

I liked the way the book was written in 3 parts - Tuesday's upbringing, wounded warrior and lastly the pair together. It gives a truer picture of what it is like to be a fighting man in Iraq and other war zones. I have read many books by authors about their dogs, but found this one more detailed than most. If it comes out on DVD, I will be the first to buy it to add to my collection of dog stories.Does it come out on e-books?Again, love and hugs to Tuesday from Lesley & Issy, Melbourne, Australia...

I know these pillows are a little bit pricey, but if you are going to be using it for any extended period of time or do a lot of camping I would highly recommend it. My husband and I each have one of these in size Large and love them. We used these pillows for 2 months straight while in South Africa. They pack to about a 1/4 of their full size and puff up nicely. I love that you can throw the whole pillow in the washer and dryer and how plump it comes out afterwards. It doesn't stay as fat as when you first take it out of the dryer and after sleeping on it for a few nights it loses a bit of it loft, but it is still a great pillow. HIGHLY recommend for any extended or frequent camping. Well worth the money for the 2 months we used these for.

Great pillow, worth the money.

My husband and I each have one of these mats. We bought the "regular" length and if I remember it was under $40. It packs fairly thin but it packs as long as it is wide, which wasn't a problem for us, but if you were trying to fit it inside a backpacking backpack and not attach it to the outside I wouldn't recommend it. However, we attached this to the outside of our backpacking backpacks and it was no problem (it went through 9 airports in 2 months and never became detached). We slept on these mats for 2 months straight in South Africa and loved them. My husband is 6 ft tall and 220 pounds and he never complained about being sore in the morning or uncomfortable. I loved this mat, it never went flat, it was comfortable, you could adjust somewhat how hard or soft you wanted it, and I never touched the ground laying on this mat. It was easy to pack and easy to re-inflate. Highly recommended.

Great Mat, Slept on it for 2 months straight.

This is a great bag, it's light, highly compressible and durable. My husband (6 ft. 220 pounds) and I (5'6 and 120 pounds) each have one. We slept in these sleeping bags for 2 months straight while in South Africa. It's easy to pack in the bag, easy to compress, the material is nice, it washes well and is over all great quality for around $35. You simply cannot beat this bag. We are thrilled with it. I wouldn't recommend it for very cold weather, but definitely great for summer camping, or backpacking. Had no problem with zippers or buckles.
