Better than you think!

A friend of mine bought this book and let me read some of it. I normally don't buy books from authors I don't know but I took a chance this time and bought it. I was presently surprised. I love zombie books and movies so this was right up my alley! People were getting killed and dying left and right. It was real easy to read and by the time I finished a chapter I couldn't wait to see what happened next. I needed to find out if the lead characters survived. If you like blood, guts, and a lot of action then buy  "Dead and Forsaken" a.s.a.p.

As someone who had prejudged this movie, I was more than pleasantly surprised. Having watched the TV clip,I thought it would be a movie that was contrived to make these two actors look good. With what I thought would be expected laughs with little substance. Boy was I wrong!
To my surprise, it was the good Zen, lack of Zen cop, done with great humor,fun, sentiment and as in life, a surprise at its end:)

the first thing that i have to say about this album is that if you don't like it, then you're probably into stuff like nsync or lil jon (yeeeaahhh!!!!) and you have no appreciation for good music.  this is by far one of the most amazing cd's ive ever listened to.  i've been a fan since SSTB and i have to say that this album is far superior to their first.  the musicianship is amazing, full of catchy, powerful riffs.  however, the highlight is claudio's vocals, with his high pitched singing (yet not annoying like jordan pudnik or tom delonge).  the songs aren't just songs (that makes sense, right?), they're chapters of a novel he is writing through his lyrics, and this album picks up where SSTB left off.  here's the album in a nutshell:
1)the ring in return - not really a song, so doesn't count
2)in keeping secrets of silent earth:3 - i was hooked from the intro.  its lengthy at 8 minutes but probably the most rewarding listen on the entire album.  10/10
3)cuts marked in the march of men - decent song, not my favorite 8/10
4)three evils - pretty upbeat at first, the last minute or so is amazing, "pull the trigger and the nightmare stops!" 10/10
5)the crowing - got old quick 7/10
6)blood red summer - upbeat, sounds almost out of place, probably my least favorite 6/10
7)the velourium camper I - alright song 7/10
8)the velourium camper II - somewhat reminiscient of "everything evil" off SSTB 8/10
9)the velourium camper III - awesome song, "die white girls!" 10/10
10)a favor house atlantic - their first single, very catchy 9/10
11)the light and the glass - nice change of pace to end the album 10/10
12)bonus track - dunno why but i really like this one so i thought i'd throw it on here 9/10
final thought: buy this album!  you'll be impressed.  trust me.

Much better than I thought--

After reading the reviews, I wasn't sure I wanted to watch this but we loved the books, so we decided to give it a try.  I'm glad we did--it was good!

Actually we wondered if this would work with our fiberglass pool... Actually better than what I was thinking.. My husband had doubts until we put them on...!  You can adjust the pressure of fountains and it still circulates your pool. Awesome!

This book was way better than I thought it would be. Soooooooooooooooooooooooooo good! And that is a complement, from me. I try books like this often, and about two thirds suck. Minority read here!  Awesome!
Literally, the only problem i have is the were thing, which yes i do know is the center of the whole series. Come on. A little obvious, right? But whatever. Enjoy! Get it while its still free. Really good.

Better than I thought. It starts slow and is a bit predictable after the surprise reveal. Quirky and funny in a real life sort of way. Acting is ok but the characters still draw you in to continuing to watch. I enjoyed it more than I thought based on the low ratings by some people. Give it a chance. It is mature themed so I would not watch it with my young teen. There is power in love and forgiveness of self.

This movie is way better than most people said it would be.  I don't get it, its an excellent movie!  One of the best I've bought in a while.  Realistic, well acted, Tom Hanks was better than he ever was.  Very believable!  I really felt like I was watching something real, another feather in Ron Howard's cap!  I don't like to give details out to spoil a movie, just buy it and enjoy it, I'm sure you won't be dissapointed.

Works surprisingly well, much more than I thought, after having others in the past.  Well worth a try!

This TV is so much better than I thought it would be. I even bought a refurb version, and it still blew me away. Don't listen to people who say anything bad about this TV.  Yes, I agree the sound quality is not great, but this is easily solved by routing your sound through a receiver or a splitter to a nice set of speakers. You should be doing this anyway ;)

The most important thing about a TV is the picture quality, and let me tell you this one is really top notch! Seriously, nice and crisp, with vivid blacks, and brilliant color. I really am a picky guy, and I'm not pleased easily.  This TV however takes the cake.  Just make sure you put it on "dynamic" display mode.  That really makes the colors pop.  My PS3 and Xbox 360 have never looked so good.  Trust me on this, you will not be disappointed.

I'll admit, I was skeptical about purchasing this album because I didn't know what to expect.  How can a band top an album like "Break the Cycle?"  Well, I found out!  On this album, Staind explores more personal, less depressing lyrical ideas and a much more mature sound.  If you are looking for nu-metal whining or catchy beats, look elsewhere.  The songs on this album expand on the melody and drama on BTC, and leave most of the heaviness behind.  A lot of fans of the older material will shy away from this new sound, but give it a few spins!  It's well worth the purchase.  The songs sound more structured, the instruments are much better played, the vocals are better and more varied, and there are even string arrangements scattered throughout the album!
Also included with the cd is a dvd called "Homegrown."  It's mostly bootleg footage, but it's a great companion to the Staind archive.  Among the goofy band footage is footage of pretty much every popular band out now!  I won't give anything away, I'll just say the price of the package is worth it for the dvd alone even if you don't adapt to the new sound.
My standout tracks (so far) are So Far Away, Fray, Tonight, Blown Away, and Intro.
