JimG944 says "Blu-Ray of Body of Lies is a complex plot well photographed" about Body of Lies

JimG944 — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 01:11:41 GMT

3 of 5 stars for the gritty drama movie Body of Lies. The lead role is played by Leonardo DiCaprio who does a great job playing a deep undercover CIA spy in the middle east. The plot is rather complex and I don't think I could summarize it easily. The focus is on middle east terrorism and a couple of groups making plans. The movie was expansively photographed with a rich selection of locations. Since the story jumps from country to country (Jordan, Turkey, USA, etc) they did a nice job of giving a look to each place. There are some action scenes which are good. Some brutal torture scenes and a fair amount of blood. The movie seemed long and its pace slow at times. All-in-all, I did enjoy it and do recommend it.

petparent says "NOT WHAT I EXPECTED" about GE Appliances 18.2 cu. ft. Top Freezer Refrigerator with FrostFree System

petparent — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 00:54:01 GMT

I bought a GE because I had owned one before and was very pleased with it. I'm sorry to say that this one is awful. This fridge is supposed to be frost free. Well, my ice pops, bagels and breads have little crystals of ice on them. I got a replacement and have the same problem. My kitchen is narrow and I need a fridge with a width of 28". GE seems to be the only company that makes this width. Another reviewer mentioned that the motor is noisy. Not only is it noisy but it makes a lot of different noises. Much to my dismay, I will have to pick out another GE because of my kitchen space problem. I hope that problem is soon solved....

houdiniphile says "Luxury on a dime" about Suave Naturals Cocoa butter Body Wash

houdiniphile — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 22:37:35 GMT

Suave Naturals Cocoa Butter moisturizing body wash is infused with cocoa bean extracts. I stock up on my Suave products when KMart is having a sale on purchases of Unilever brand products.

For example, you can get $5 off 20 or $12 off $50 purchased. When I see signs like this at KMArt, I pull out my coupon wallet and my monthly shopping list, and play the matching game. It really is a good product and there is a coupon in the newspaper for it at least once a month. By doubling the coupons, or using KMart deals, it is just a few pennies per wash for a SPA QUALITY product.

houdiniphile says "Has 7 moisturizing botanicals\" about Tone Exotic Body Wash Water Lily and Sugar Cane

houdiniphile — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 22:37:34 GMT

Tone Exotic Fusions body wash was featured in a large 18 ounce bottle, and on sale at my local KMart. I had not tried any Tone since the bath bar, so I snapped it up.

It leaves your skin soft, has a pleasant scant that lasts with you through the day. It is gentle enough for the whole family, yet strong enough to leave you confident through a busy day.

I really like the wide variety of scents, the silky smooth feel when using it, and the great deals you can get on Dial products from KMart stores.

houdiniphile says "Helps your hair grow longer--faster" about Herbal Essences Long and Strong

houdiniphile — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 22:37:32 GMT

Herbal Essences long term relationship and also the long and strong varieties are great for my hair. I used to experience breakage, right at the earlobe level. I started using Herbal Essences by Clairol and found it very gentle.

It is a good idea to vary your shampoo and conditioner routine once every 14 days for optimal shine and to avoid product buildup. I find that the Herbal Essences Long and Strong makes my hair shaft appear thicker, withstand heat and brushing, and tangle up less. You can find it at KMart.

houdiniphile says "Brunette or Blond? Pantene has you covered!" about Pantene Pro-V Brunette Expressions Color Enhancing Shampoo, Nutmeg to Dark Brown

houdiniphile — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 22:37:32 GMT

Pantene Brunette Expressions and Pantene Blonde Expressions in the 13 ounce bottle can do the same thing. They bring out the natural highlights of your hair without added color or processing.

One reason I like the Pantene Pro-V expressions line is that I have dark brown hair from my native american ancestors and blonde streaks (and the bottom half of my hair) from some European heritage. So my hair is three colors. The gray streaks that Native Americans areknown for as early as the teens is covered by the Brunette Expressions and enhanced and shiny if I use the Blonde. Please try the Pantene brand which is often on special at KMart.

houdiniphile says "good buy and good bye moisture" about Soft & Dri Soft Scent Antiperspirant and Deodorant

houdiniphile — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 22:36:09 GMT

Soft & Dri 6 ounce aerosol is a great product made by Dial. I love to buy all my personal care and laundry items from KMart because of the fantastic deals they offer when you buy more than one related product. The signs go up on the shelves and clearly shows you how much you can save and KMart even accepts manufacturer's coupons! Double your savings.

There is a bit of aluminum cholorohydrate, and some people feel that ingredient is not great for health. I find the product helps me when walking, running, catching a bus with lots of people on it. It's my all time favorite!

AnnIsHere says "Walking in comfort." about Irregular Choice - I Love Comfort Shoes

AnnIsHere — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 22:35:09 GMT

Looking for comfortable shoes? Visit the shoe department at Sears. You know how those shoes look good in the store, and you try them on. They feel good, but when you get them home and wear them the next day...O-O-O-O the agony of pain on the little toe. You can't wait to get home to take them off. Then you should check out the shoe department at Sears. Not only are the shoes stylish, priced reasonable but they are ever so comfortable. I will be buying all my shoes from Sears from now on.

FoundationItem says "Wow to Dr. Rey ... Deep on Controlling the Tummy ..." about Dr. Rey Shapewear For Sears Deep Plunge

FoundationItem — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 22:34:11 GMT

Well ladies (and any gents who dare feel pretty),

I recently purchased two of these wonderful garments and have to say that they made my tummie flat, disappear under sleek dresses, or blouse and skirt and are comfortable!

I highly recommend this item to anyone looking to appear a little more in shape or shapely than they may actually be.

And the price, well I got mine on sale, is worth cutting into your budget for.

Thanks Sears for carrying this line and so many others that many department stores have neglected to supply.

JimG944 says "Exit Wounds: A typical Steven Seagal action movie" about Exit Wounds

JimG944 — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 13:06:55 GMT

3 of 5 stars for the action movie Exit Wounds. This is a typical Steven Seagal movie with plenty of martial arts fights, car chases, gun fire and stunts. In this movie, Seagal plays a cop who gets assigned to a difficult inner-city precinct. This precinct has plenty of corrupt cops. Eventually Seagal discovers the "bad guys" are trying to document police corruption.

As I said, a pretty typical Seagal movie with direct fights where the bad guys get hurt badly. It is a good action movie and fun to watch. Perhaps not Seagal's best movie though.

davmel says "Avia running shoes are the most comfortable shoes." about Avia - Avia Running Shoes

davmel — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 13:06:54 GMT

The Avia running shoes I am reviewing are a very comfortable and pratical pair of shoes. They also are very good looking, and stylish shoes and can be worn not only for running but as a casual shoe for every day wear for just about anything, and they can be worn to work also. Especially if you are on your feet a lot during your working day, then this is the a good shoe to buy. If you want good value for your money this is a good shoe to start your shopping with. It is very reasonably priced, and will not break your budget. Try them out, you'll like them.

JimG944 says "Rules of Engagement DVD: an interesting military drama" about Rules of Engagement - DVD Widescreen

JimG944 — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 13:01:33 GMT

4 of 5 stars for the military drama movie Rules of Engagement. Let's start by saying any movie with Tommy Lee Jones ad Samuel L Jackson is one that I will like, both are among my favorite actors. Our two lead characters fought together during Viet Nam and experienced extreme action. Moving forward in time Jackson's character is still active in the Marines and is picked to do an embassy extraction in the middle east. His mission encounters heavy automatic weapon fire as they touch-down in the embassy compound. Extracting the Ambassador and his family, fire become heavier killing and wounding several Marines. Jackson eventually orders his troops to return fire killing over 80 people outside of the embassy. The key question was, were these people armed and firing upon the embassy? If so, they were combatants; if not they were civilians. The movie shifts to a legal and courtmarshall drama. Jackson asks his old friend Jones to be his attorney.

A very well made movie. Great action intensely photographed....

houdiniphile says "better than velveeta and better for you" about Leonardo Shells & Cheese Dinner for 2 Deluxe

houdiniphile — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 01:28:17 GMT

Leonardo Deluxe Shells and Cheese or Macaroni and Cheese dinner for 2 is not the dinner choice for health zealots, but I suggest you only serve this occasionally.

To get a quick meal on the table with less sodium, a smaller portion, and no bitter powdery aftertaste, I recommend Leonardo brand from KMart. It is not a private label brand, but KMart offers this for just $1 and you can add hamburger or tuna to make a meal in 10 minutes! You will get cheesy satisfaction, you will get full, and you have spent half the calories and half the money.

houdiniphile says "Protect that baby soft skin" about Huggies Natural Care hypoallergenic LOTION all day moisturizing

houdiniphile — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 01:28:16 GMT

Huggies Natural Care hypoallergenic all day moisturizing lotion, 15 ounce bottle is a handy, easy grip lotion with ultra light scent. It goes with all the other Huggies baby care products, and is the most gentle thing for our Josephine.

Babies spend the day in creepers, playpens, strollers, car seats with belts, and in some glare from the car windows. this does not advertise sunscreen in it, but we found it helpful to avoid sunburning our hyper sensitive newborn. I am sure glad I stocked up before Josey arrived!

houdiniphile says "A dab will do you" about Huggies Natural Care Hypoallergenic WASH for hair & body

houdiniphile — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 01:28:15 GMT

Huggies Natural Care 15 ounce hypo allergenic wash for hair and body works great. josephine loves her bathtime, and it makes lots of bubbles. Babies seem to LOVE this stuff. It has a great clean scent that lasts for hours. It literally smells like "clean", and your baby's skin will be softer than ever.

One word to the wise: It is easy to overdo it when you get caught up in bathtime fun, and use a little too much, This can cause a hint of diaper rash to creep in, just like any other bubble bath. It is probably not the Huggies brand.

houdiniphile says "pricey and worth it." about Huggies Gentle Care Sensitive Wipes Refill 184 ct.

houdiniphile — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 01:27:40 GMT

The youngest grandma is here to tell you that Huggies Gentle care wipes are absolutely the most gentle baby wipe yet. They cost a bit more, but if your baby is prone to rashes, or has allergies, or is teething, this is the wipe you want.

Huggies has a new "Enjoy the Ride" program where you can get toys, gift cards, and contests entries based on the points for purchasing products. Some of the packages still on shelves don't have points yet, but the newest ones do.

You can find huggies Gentle Care baby wipes at KMart.

houdiniphile says "Beats powder! " about Huggies Gentle Care Creamy Diaper Rash Ointment

houdiniphile — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 01:27:40 GMT

Huggies Gentle Care Creamy Diaper Rash Ointment with Zinc Oxide is a white paste that soothes baby instantly! It does not stain clothes, she tries to put her feet in it, so she seems to like the soothing effect.

It works against redness and chafing by the very next diaper change! If you want to stop a diaper rash before it starts, Huggies has the answer for you. This was suggested as an alternative to powder by hospital staff, and I agree. Once you try Huggies Gentle Care Ointment, you won't go back to powder.

houdiniphile says "Mixes smoothly " about Similac Advance Baby Formula

houdiniphile — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 01:27:36 GMT

Similac Advance formula is a great product that is often on special sale prices at my local KMart. It has all the nutrients required by the FDA for proper infant formula. It also includes immune system boosters.

We tried the powder Advance Shield. The baby really liked the taste, but she became a little bit fussy later, and had some spitting up. We tried a second feeding to be sure, and it's not her favorite. I am sure this high quality product will suit any baby who is not sensitve to the malt.

houdiniphile says "Gentle Plus is her favorite but they all work!" about Carnation Good Start Supreme DHA & ARA

houdiniphile — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 01:27:36 GMT

Nestle Good Start makes their infant formulas with what they call "comfort proteins" that are a smaller particle and easier to digest. I notice less gas and spitting up than with other formulas. Josephine will not tolerate anything less than boiling with this formula, unlike the enfamil.

The company is very generous with coupons, They do not participate in the WIC program, and you can choose soy or milk based. There is not a milder formula out there. This is her favorite infant formula, along with KMart's Little Ones.

houdiniphile says "Clean hands without peeling or chafing" about Dial Hand Soap Eco-Smart Refill White Tea & Vitamin E with moisturizer

houdiniphile — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 22:56:31 GMT

I like this because you can use it to refill the little pump jars of hand soap and waste less packaging. Dial hand soap refill packs come in several scents.

One of my facorite things about shopping for Dial products is that they have newspaper coupons at the same time they are on sale at KMart. There is often a deal of register coupons that print out when you buy $15 of any dial products together, that you get $5 off your next purchase. This saves money and keeps me on budget, because the product list always meets my needs for the month!
