Great work from one of the greatest comics theorists ever. This book is, as they say, when Scott McCloud put his money where his mouth was - and it was money well spent. Despite the fantastic aspects of the novel, it's been a long time since I experienced characters so human that he could just be telling you about a guy he's known since childhood. And after the story about Meg at the end of the book, I started to think that it's a travel around the soul of the artist either.

This band was recommended by Burton Cummings ( Guess Who) as one of his favorites so I had to check it out! Has that classic rock sound & really good songs throughout. You won't be disappointed.

Best show ever! This is my favorite show to have on when getting ready for work and winding down from the day. This sitcom follows the lives of 6 "friends" and their shenanigans through life in the Big Apple. Peppered with inter-dependent politics and love and feel-goodery, this show has the right amount of "life's lessons" to share in conversations every where! After a couple of laps through the series, you'll find yourself starting a lot of conversations with "there's a Friends episode where..."

Fun & easy to read. The complicated life that is a family entwined with friendships nicely written. Spoiler alert: I love happy endings & this story had plenty

In his third book about Laurel & Hardy. Dr. John McCabe and his co authors:Al Kilgore and Richard W.Bann take another look at the team's film work and they do so..in an unconventional way. Thru the use of photos from their films and with an interesting text. Dr. McCabe and his fellow film historians/writers show us all The evolution of Stan & Ollie's work and why their films are still popular with moviegoers and tv/home video viewers. The Book also gives some more biographical background into the boys'lives than what has been written in other manuscripts and there is some insight into the difficult period in the boys'careers. When they appeared in their forgetable films for Fox and MGM during the 40's and their final series of successful performances in English music halls and cabrets in Europe during the post war years. There is even a chapter titled"For Stan & Ollie"a dedication to the team by some famous performers and personalities:Leslie Haillwell,Orson Bean,Patsy Kelly(Who worked with the boys in "Pick A Star"),Marvin Hatley(The resident music director at The Hal Roach Studios),Hans Conried,Eddie Cantor,Lou Costello and even Lenny Bruce and Groucho Marx lend their thoughts about the team. This plus The unique film raitings device(Derbies instead of stars..to let the readers know. Which L&H film is good and which ones are not up to par)makes this a book worth having! Bravo Jack,Al And Dick! Kevin S.Butler.

I found this book humorous, engaging and educational.  It tells the story of a group of young friends (approximately middle school age) who discover a crime happening right in their own neighborhood.  Woven throughout are lessons about the value of money, being a good friend and taking responsibility.  It was enjoyable and a quick read.  I recommend it for young readers.  It would also be a fun book for parents and kids to read together.

A wonderful story about two great friends. I liked that it's about two great friends that have a great summer together. I don't dislike anything pretty much. I would recommend this book to two best friends that can read this together. This writer is very talented.

I was invited over a friend's house to watch the DVD, Concert for George, when it had first become available to purchase. It was so much more than I had expected. There were six of us there to share the experience. We had all grown up listening to the Beatles & the music of the other musicians that were there to perform the songs of George Harrison. As we watched them on stage at the Albert King Hall in London; Tom Petty, Eric Clapton, Ringo Star, Paul McCartney & many more, and seeing George's son Dhani, a splitting image of him, it pulled so many emotions; nostalgia, memories of old times. We sang with it, cried & laughed. It was truly a fine tribute to George. Each and every musician not only performed his songs with such powerful professionalism but also as his comrades. It was evident how much they were inspired by him. I also enjoyed very much, how photos of George were incorporated in the film as a young man & through the most current times of his life. The concert as a whole was well put together with much thought & plenty of heart. Everyone involved with the film obviously love him as much as we as fans do, young & old. Now, my friend not only enjoys watching this concert time & time again but also plays nearly every darn song on his own guitar while watching it. And so the effect it has taken is quite predictable; I bought the DVD as a gift to my brother & soon to purchase one for myself...to watch time & time again.

My husband and I are in the right age group for the movie Friends With Kids.  We found it very relatable.  The writing was clever and funny.  The story line about two best friends having a child together is unusual, but seemed plausible the way it was presented.  The characters were very appealing and you definitely are rooting for them to realize they are, and always have been in love with each other.  The entire cast was good, but Adam Scott was the real standout.  He was sweet, appealing, and yet completely oblivious and insensitive at times.  Much like a lot of actual men.  Overall I would recommend this movie.

Friends is a great show that my fiance & I always loved. I finally bought the complete series & he passed away the next day. I have been going through them cuz he always wanted me to see the ones they never showed on cable, especially the Thanksgiving episode, lol. Well, I watched & he was right. It was great. I'll always love you baby and continue to watch our friends.....

I will categorize my review ie: I qualify as a Senior--a senior of almost anything but certainly as a judge of
good music.
Last nite I watched,listened,laughed and cried over "Lionel Richie and Friends".A chance to remember (and sing)
all Lionel's great music that he made for us through the years. And it is so obvious what a great friend
he is to so many great people.
 Thank you all for such a SPECIAL show.

I had a group of 6 friends over for a movie night. We all enjoyed this movie very much. Apart from the humour, there were moments of pathos as well as the wonderful scenery.  Brysons book is my very favourite non fiction book. It has been a hugely popular best seller. I think that explains a lot of the disappointment and criticism that the film version has attracted. Naturally, theres a lot more in the book and the film has a couple of inaccuracies.  Unfortunately this is true of many movies based on books. In the old days they even sometimes changed the endings.
Admittedly Redford and Nolte were too old for the roles. Bryson and his friend Katz were only in their mid 40s when they did the walk. However, as our viewing group are all over 60, the older ages of the two actors added another dimension to the movie that we could all relate to - the challenge of a last great adventure before senescence really starts to set in.
All in all a pleasant uplifting movie, which I could watch again.

I am 8 and this story of Bill and Timmy was interesting. I liked how they were nice enough to become friends with the new boy and the strange notes were really interesting. I hope my family do the same for me one day. =)

I also like how the friends helped the poor little birdie and from that they figured out what they wanted to do when they grow up. There are many things I dream of becoming when I grow up and I am working towards some of those dreams now just like Billy. =)

This book brings you into the lives of two other families tied to the McGreers. Julio the ranch foreman Hank and Luanne is wife since high school.
Julio and Lulu have lost something in their marriage and are trying to come full circle. Meanwhile, Kyle and Janie are finding each other in more ways than one. This next chapter in the McGreers draws you in and keeps you wanting more. Bring on the next McGreers story line!! I would recommend this to any of my friends!!

Not enough books, movies and television shows are about friendship, in my opinion, so I enjoyed this tale of three life-long pals who were truly there for one another, in both personal and professional ways. I even felt a bit jealous! What a gift to have friends like that. And what a nice thing to read about. I also enjoyed the scenes of what I think of as "old" NYC---all those iconic venues. Yes, perhaps the male characters were a bit *too* good-to-be-true, but this is a book by and about and for women so it's normal that the men take second place. Have fun with it. You may even feel inspired to start your own business!
