(1)Our Price: US$12.99Usually ships within 7 - 14 daysRelated promotions:May 2, 2012 Lacking any real romancePerhaps it's a cultural barrier but I didn't really feel any connection between the two main characters.
If I'm being honest, the story was dragging so much that I fell asleep an hour in. I woke up ten, fifteen minutes later and I hadn't missed anything so significant that I couldn't still follow the storyline.
As movies go this was a bland romance with little real spark.

(2)Our Price: US$10.99Related promotions:May 2, 2012 PointlessI would call this soft-porn.
It had little point. Little conflict. Little to interest me. A lot of the 'problems' the characters faced could have been solved with just a little maturity.
This was definitely a waste of my time.

(1)Our Price: US$109.99List: US$129.99Save: US$20.00 (15%)Related promotions:May 2, 2012 Decent DVD player, not High Def...I have been unable to get this DVD player to work on my HD TV but I was able to get it to work on my older TV.
I am uncertain what's wrong, perhaps my cord is faulty, but while the DVD plays DVDs nicely the audio leaves much to be desired. I do not have this problem with other DVD players on the same TV so I must assume it is this DVD player.
I bought this DVD so I could play my Chinese DVDs and for this purpose it's a decent buy but I wouldn't use this DVD for my HD movies or any other movies really because of the audio issue.

January 23, 2012 Fantastic Rock AlbumI'm not a huge fan of 'rock'. I tend to gravitate towards pop music or classical. That said, I caught a glimpse of FT Island's music video (Hello Hello) and decided to give their album a try. Boy was I surprised!
I love every single song on this album. From the addictive Hello Hello to the more subdued tracks. All 5 songs are enjoyable, catchy and most importantly not obnoxious!
The lead singer's voice (Lee Hongki?) is refreshing. Different. Distinctive. Emotive. I love his voice. The band compliment him perfectly (I know that's not their purpose but some bands are at odds with the lead singer - or so it seems to me. In this case the music and the lead vocals all blend together beautifully).
My ONLY complaint is the price. At $16.00 for 5 songs you're paying $3.00 per song (and that's not including shipping). That's a bit steep. Still, I'm glad I invested the money because this is music I will be listening to for a long time.
I highly reccommend this album to everyone. Fans of rock, those who aren't fans of rock and all the ones in between.

(2)Our Price: US$6.99Usually ships within 7 - 14 daysRelated promotions:August 31, 2011 Light Enjoyable FluffThis movie was exactly what I expected. A light hearted fun romantic comedy.
I love the fact that there wasn't any overly forced DRAMA and yet the storyline still had tension to keep one interested.
The funny bits were cute. The romantic bits were fun. All around it's just an easy watch.
I would recommend this movie to fans of light romance but also to music fans! The music was really good!
I LOVED the cameo by Khalil! HAHA. That part made me laugh out loud. He looked so perplexed when he came out on stage and then went on to sing one of my favorite Khalil songs. :)
Now I just have to figure out where I can get the soundtrack! Because I really enjoyed the music in this one!

Even my mother, who doesn't like music she can't understand, enjoyed listening to him. This album is another fantastic creative effort by Khalil and well worth the money.

Out of all the songs I only disliked one. That's pretty impressive! These days it seems like I only like 20% of the songs on any album I like but not this time! Yay!
Shinee definitely makes Shinee music!

August 4, 2011 Great AlbumThis is a great album! The peppy songs are peppy and the slow songs aren't boring! It's wonderful.
The first time I played Get It in my car though... well, that scared me. That's some wild bass there boys, should come with a warning so those of us who play our music loud aren't BOOM BOOMED out of our seats! Haha!

August 4, 2011 G-D is a great rapper but...G-D is a great rapper but honestly he's not that great at live singing. I love his music but I wish I would have bought the studio version of his Heartbreaker CD instead of this Live version. The only thing that saved this from being a complete waste of money for me was the Second CD which came with remixes of Heartbreaker, Breathe and This Love which I enjoy a lot.
I'm a big fan of Big Bang and G-D but he really shouldn't be releasing Live Albums. Sorry G-D, I gotta be real. :\

(1)Our Price: US$4.99Usually ships within 7 - 14 daysRelated promotions:August 4, 2011 Some good musicI would classify this type of music as Chinese Indie. It's light, easy to listen to music and on days when I want to relax a little it's good background music.
I didn't recognize any of the artists on the CD but it didn't matter because the music was well done.

August 4, 2011 Good Work!The first bonus track is my favorite song on this album! All the songs are good though.
For me the big surprise was the DVD which contains two interviews and two music videos (the Chinese version of Perfection and the Korean version). I understand very little Chinese but I watched the video anyway. The boys are too cute not to watch! Haha.
This is definitely a good mini-album and it's a nice addition to my growing collection of Korean pop CDs.

It came with weird little CD like cases with pictures of each member impersonating their favorite idol or whatever. I'm not too interested in the pictures, I just like the music but for those who are interested there is a kind of mini photo album with this mini-album.

I have to admit I laughed when I heard them rapping though. A band called Lollipop just shouldn't be rapping!!

I didn't connect with the characters, I wasn't overly fond of the plot and the ending was just downright annoying (although I'm glad too because I didn't like that particular pairing as a romantic couple ANYWAY).
I just think they could have done better. They didn't have to do what Disney did... but they could have made it more interesting and more exciting, by far.

I was bored by this CD but I hesitate to give it a low rating because I suspect my boredom stemmed purely from my own preference for a different style of music.
But I can recognize the strength of Khalil's voice despite not liking his choice of music!

January 27, 2011 Everything JJ Does is Golden
No surprises here! I love this album! It seems like anything JJ touches turns to gold. He is the Musical version of Midas.
Another commenter mentioned that JJ has put his own twists on someone else's compositions but if I recall correctly all of these compositions were his in the first place! So it's only natural that he sounds amazing singing these songs.
I'd have to say my favorite song out of them all is I AM. It's a very motivational and uplifting song!

The set I bought came with a set of postcards that made me laugh! I'm well past the age where those sort of things have any real interest for me but I can imagine I would have loved them in my youth.
MOST of the music is enjoyable to me but I didn't like I'd say half of the songs. This is typical for most albums these days though. I really love having the music videos easily accesible!

(17)Our Price: US$15.99Usually ships within 7 - 14 daysRelated promotions:January 27, 2011 So Hilariously BadThis movie is visually superior but the plot suffers from poor writing. You know you're watching a poorly written movie when you keep thinking; and scene, and scene... etc. There was no real character development. This is a classic example of TELLING us the story instead of SHOWING us the story.
BUT I did have fun watching the final 'battle' scene! Wow. What cheese, it was hilarious!
And there were some very cute moments near the start. This movie is not a complete waste of time but it's dangerously close to being so!

January 27, 2011 Very CuteThese earrings are a really nice size! I was expecting them to be smaller. They are very cute and comfortable! My only complaint is that the sticks are a bit long, so if I rest my ear against my hand I get poked! Haha. But it's no big deal, I just have to be more conscious of my actions when I'm wearing them.
