Anyone who's willing to write about Shelley Winters' HUGE bloomers in the underwater sequence of the Poseiden Adventure gets a snap from me!

This book is an absolute riot. The authors takes on these movies are great. What makes the book better than the standard bad movie review is how they trash movies you think might be good (like Fatal Attraction). My only complaint is there are sections with too many references to old (50's) movies that I have never heard of. Otherwise it is hilarious.

I hate to say it, but I think I have seen every movie in this book, most more than twice. This is a very funny (and helpful for the afficianado) book. The premise is different than the usual book about "bad" movies: no "Plan Nine from Outer Space" et al- that's left to Michael Medved and his ilk. No, these are movies that just are slightly crazed, over the top, or just, well, BAD. Ones that will make you ask "What were they thinking? What were they smoking! " Some of the movies are laugh-out-loud stinkers like "Female on the Beach", some are just jaw-droppingly awful like "Xanadu". But the writing is funny and fresh, and you will find yourself agreeing with the reviews of the movie you have seen, and going to the video store for the movies you have not. Unfortunately one of the authors is no longer living, but I would hope that they could collect the rest of the reviews from Movieline (the magazine from which this book sprang) and put out more editions as soon as possible

I enjoyed reading about Elizabeth and her life with Roy Freeman. I live in Richmod Kentucky close to the areas described in this book. I enjoyed reading about familiar places. This book made me think about life and all that I hold dear family, children, education etc. I recommend this book to everyone. Don't miss it!

I, Aunt Nanciana, am reading DETOUR for the third time.

It's beautifully written. Each time I read DETOUR I learn something new about life, love, and religion.

Nothing negative; all true and beautiful for all readers to consume and try to live by.

I, Nanciana Wallick Bonebrake, am ever so proud of my dear neice, Debra Wallick Stone.

Thanks for this opportunity to let my family and friends know about her book: DETOUR.

DETOUR is one in a line of many books I have read in the last year, and I enjoyed each and every minute of it. It gets to what I believe to be at the heart of every human being,...the desire to get back to the basics of life.

It tells of the lives of two people deeply in love with each other, each on two totally opposite fields of life when reunited. When "The Operation" decides the detours they must each take from their familiar lifestyles leads them to an Amish community, both find out that the things that matter most in life are the things that money cannot buy.

Very educating on the Amish lifestyle. Very respectfully written, informational, and enlightening.

I loved it !!!!!!!!!!

Diane Stein has gone deeper lately into healing, spirituality, and ascesion. I have always loved her Goddess spirituality books, but these are even better! Now when I shop for stones I can get more appropriate stones for healing, etc. Even though the book is small, it is worth its weight in gold!

I really love this book for a concise, not-overwhelming book of healing properties of stones. The biggest downfall is that there are no pictures, which is a big disappointment. But if I'm shopping for crystals there is usually a picture, so you can look for the stones whose properties you would like to have, then go out and buy it.

I would love to see an updated version of this with more than 200 stones in it.

I bought this book a year ago. I have several books about healing with crystals and this is the one I refer to most often. Diane Stein includes the healing properties of many uncommon stones which other books leave out. Her descriptions of each stone are short, concise and complete. A wonderful reference.... I use it all the time! I also appreciate the fact that much of the information is channeled.

I enjoyed reading this book because the illustrations are funny. The funny parts made me laugh so hard my stomach ached. I will tell a friend to read this book if they want a good laugh.

I enjoyed this book because it was very exciting. The author used vocabulary that was easy for me to understand. The illustrations were very detailed and matched the text. I recommend reading this book.

The story Julian Secret Agent is one of my favorite books because I love books with a little mystery. I can look at the silly illustration in this story and laugh for days. We are finishing our unit on realistic fiction books and this book was a pleasure to read.

though some of the featured celebrities weren't on my "sexy" list, they were presented very well and the photography was high quality. entertaining and creative shots, worth the price if not just for the alice in wonderland shot of drew barrymore on the first page. also includes some random text; very intelligent, provocative and fun. i keep this book out for frequent viewing.

I love this book! Great as a gift or just to feast your eyes on celebrities. Top Quality Book - and I know what's sexy! - Kristy Welsh, Author of "Good Credit is Sexy"

I cannot remember ever seeing a book of photography as filled with fun as this collection of images from Us Magazine. The humor is solid and clean, something that comedians have a hard time duplicating. The book is greatly enhanced by the special genius of Mark Seliger for this type of work.

Before going further, let me caution you that some images are of partially undressed women that would earn this material an R rating (on the soft side) if it were contained in a motion picture.

The photographs are reproduced in both color and black-and-white. The reproduction quality is very high, and the editors have chosen well where to use two-page spreads and where not to. Although not every image displays good-humored fun, about two-thirds of them do. The book probably would have worked even better if every image had followed that theme. In most cases, the image itself is a happy one that also contains a joke about the celebrity involved . . . creating two ways to have a fun with the image.

Here are my favorite images in the book:

Drew Barrymore (cover shot) holding boxing globes up as a visual bra as she stands in a sparring pose in a boxing ring by Mark Seliger;

Elizabeth Shue nude holding a dog by Mark Seliger;

Patrick Swayze in a slip by Mary Ellen Mark;

Emma Thompson undressed but covered by the bottom of a stage curtain wrapped around her by Neil Davenport;

A puckish looking Hugh Grant by Jon Ragel;

Whoopi Goldberg looking alarmed by Mark Seliger;

a funny, foreshortened Paul Hartman by Mark Seliger; and

"You are a vision of nowness" is the description of this book written inside. I personally found the images more timeless than that. You get a sense of what is universally appealing at all times and to almost all people.

After looking at these happy images, think about the ways that fun appeals to your better nature. How can you experience that kind of fun more often? How can you surround yourself with an environment that teems with such fun? How can you extend and share that fun with others?

Have a great giggle . . . as often as possible!

The information about crystals was authentic and acurate but some of the methods were not very safe. Such as when she was speaking of channeling crystals and suggested that you speak with entities you felt around you with out first telling you to place you self in protective light was a dangerous mistake. I only hope no one has hurt them self with this misleading onformation. Although she dose speak of protection she don't put the right kind of stress on it. I guesse she dons't come in contact with unfriedly forces but they are out there and looking for ingnorent victims. The methods of healing in this book is a great way to conduct your healings. I just wish she gave more information on how to heal your self with crystals.

This book introduces the unique and powerful healing properties of crystals. Katrina's healing technique is to put a pattern of stomes, based on intuition, along the different chakras of the recipient. She also integrates many practical therapeutic skills on the crystal healing which enhance the healing effect. When I firstly received the crystal healing in Crystal Academy, I realized the crystal energy can bring me to a different dimension which I can't imagine before. The informationm of the 12 Master Crystals is also advanced material

If i can start with the reason i bought the book in the first place, then this is it, I saw this book on the shelf, picked it up and flicked through some pages, now in my mind at that particular moment while flicking the pages i was looking for a layout picture of where placement of crystal need to go on the body, normally i read the reviews on the back cover, but because i didn't find what i was looking for in that book i put it back on the shelf,on my left was the shop assistant and on the other side my mother, when i put this book back on the shelf behind all the other books it was behind when i picked it out, i walked away, and yes it happened, THE BOOK FELL OFF THE SHELF out of it's neat little place and from behind 3 other books that were placed at an angle on the shelf. The other books did not fall, only the one that i had picked up to look at, and it fell with the back cover facing up, and there on the back of the cover was the picture i was looking for, my mother mouthed the very words that this book was trying to tell me BUY ME! and so i did. Back then i was new to the world of crystals and am relatively still the a bit of a novice, but after reading this book i have this yearning to find out everything there is to know about crystals and gemstones. I have read this book twice from cover to cover and still get excited, the explanations are simple the pictures are colourful and the makeup of the crystals and what they can be used for a very detailed. I have not read the other book written by Katrina Rafaell, but will seek to purchase a copy of crytstal enlightment to read.

This is the first book that I obtained regarding crystals and their properties. It is one that I would rate at the top of the chart for info. I find comfort in it's pages for the basic needs regarding this vast topic. It goes deep enough for the beginning practitioner. The awesome colour pictures are very beneficial for identifing stones received as gifts.

Gienger brings together realistic science, folk-traditions, AND intuitive application wisdom in the definitive guide for beginners and long-time practioners of the ancient art of crystal healing. This book is essential for the many pages of full-color photographs alone! Any student or practioner of crystal healing must have this work in her or his library.

After working with crystals and stones for nearly a decade and either owning or reading newly every crystal book around, I nearly fell out of my seat when I read this brilliant work. Finally, someone has come up with original information that is both pragmatic and accurate. It is not yet another warmed over text with the same information on the same topics, over and over and over again. This book explains the energies of the various scientific elements - something I have *never* seem before, as well as detailing the energies of the different crystalline structures and their chemical classifications. Aside from that, he provides wonderful information on the way each stone forms which can give us even deeper insights into the stones. I consider myself extremely knowledgable on the subject, but this work is a brilliant addition to the body of knowledge we have on stones. I give the greatest thanks to this author for such a powerful and useful contribution! May you always find the light within you so you may see the light around you.

Characters in the book share their name for God and in the end they all learn that God's specific name is not so important as their being respectful of each other's choices for God's name. Children and adults should enjoy this book. The illustrations are wonderful and the story is simple, yet very meaningful. This would be a great gift to share with friends of different faiths: a good way to let someone know that you are not prejudiced agianst their religious belief system...

I have four godchildren and have given each of them a copy of this book. The pictures are lovely, the story is poignant and the message is loving and true. I highly recommend this book and it will surely become a favorite for the child/godchild in your life.

I used this book for a Children's Sermon at our church on Mother's day. The children couldn't get close enough when I began reading. Most of the adults in the congregation were as entranced as the children.
Beautifully written and richly illustrated this is a book to share with family and friends.
What an excellent way to help children learn (and remind adults) that there are countless names for God.

Beautifully illustrated and thought evoking story which allows young readers (and their parents/teachers/siblings) to see what an impact different choices make in lives both factual and fictional.

Milo and his mice friends on their very special island find a mysterious stone and then need to decide what next step to take. Pfister gives a choice for the reader: happy ending or sad ending. Very clever and both endings should be read so that children can understand how choices build upon choices both in writing, creativity and in real life.

Great book for adults as well and Grandparents may want to keep a copy on hand for when their grand children come visit.

This book so clearly shows students/children the effect the ending has on a story. It's great if you're teaching students or your own child how to write stories. Just reading it gives them perspective and, with each of their stories, they can write two different endings and choose the better one. This book is FANTASTIC! Get it!

Milo and his mice friends find some glowing, magical stones which led them into making a bad choice or a good choice. This book offers two different endings- a happy one or a sad one. This is a great story for all young children to enjoy. Marcus Pfister's illustrations and texture on the pages capture both children's eyes and hands. After reading the happy ending to my kindergarten class, they could not wait to hear what happened in the sad ending. I highly recommend this book.
