Product is misrepresented.

My poor rating for is for the DVD product, not the movies themselves. City of Angels is supposed to have a lot of bonus features included with it, but the on-screen menus refer the viewer to side B, which is (of course) the other movie. The claims on the packaging are false!
And, for some reason only City of Angels is widescreen, Michael is full screen.

Ideal for beginners, this keyboard features a lighted-key lesson system to help you learn to play and a headphone output so you can practice in private.
Posted by: simulated86
The teaching program on the keyboard makes it so easy to play. It lights up the keys and the display tells you what finger you should use to press the lighted key. And after you play along with the light up keys, it gives you a grade. It can be a bit frustrating when you know that you a pressing the keys in the right order, but you still get a low grade because your timing is off. However, all you have to do is listen to the keyboard play that part again and you should be able to figure out where your timing went wrong.
The sound on this is decent, but not great. Though there is a headphone hookup so you don't bother others while you are practicing, I have not had a need for it yet. I just turn the volume down low and that is good enough to not bother anyone else.
What's great about it: Great learning program built in.
What's not so great: The display is a little difficult to see because of the angle it is at and because it is not lighted.

This limited edition collector's set includes three exciting Grand Theft Auto titles, including Grand Theft Auto III, Vice City and San Andreas. Beginning with Grand Theft Auto III, you have been betrayed and left for dead. Now you are taking revenge, unless the city gets you first. Mob bosses need a favor, crooked cops need help and street gangs want you dead. You will have to rob, steal and kill just to stay out of serious trouble. Grand Theft Auto III puts you at the heart of your very own gangster movie. Knowing every angle and corner of the city is your only hope. Know what you want, when you want it and how to get it. Liberty City is a complete physical universe with laws, rules, standards, ethics and morals. And they are yours to shatter.In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, you take to the dangerous streets and underground crime of the '80s. The location is Vice City and the vibe is glamour, power and corruption. Like Grand Theft Auto III, Vice City offers an in-depth storyline and a go-anywhere style of gameplay. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas features a new city, fresh cars and even more territory to explore. You take on the role of Carl Johnson, a man who managed to escape the rough life in Los Santos, San Andreas ~ a city torn apart by corruption, drugs and gang warfare. Five years ago, Carl escaped the burdens of life in the city for greener pastures. After learning of a family tragedy, however, Carl must return to a world he thought he had left behind forever.

This is really a good set of games. Even though they do not deal with the same characters, it is fun to spot the various overlaps. On the packaging for the three pack, it says that two can play. However this is only true for San Andreas. And the two player is more of a sub game than part of the main plot. This does not stop it from being fun.
Each game is more realistic than the one before, and not just as regards the graphics. In San Andreas the news on the radio station change as a result of your missions.
My favorite of the series is Vice City. The talk radio is hilarious! And who wouldn't love running around with a chainsaw and seeing your victims blood splatter on the screen? I know I did.
That being said, I wouldn't recommend these games for most people under sixteen.

![Proof of Life [DVD] [2000]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/304b2327-370a-41e7-956a-951dd4939472.png)
Taylor Hackford's international kidnapping thriller Proof of Life comes to DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1. English and French soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1. Subtitles are accessible in both of those languages as well. Supplemental materials include a commentary track by Hackford, a making-of documentary, and a theatrical trailer. This is a rock-solid DVD release, no matter what one may think of the film itself.

This movie could have been good if they had left it with just the main plot of a women trying to get her husband back. But they ruined it by adding a complicated back story between the husband and wife; and love story between Ryan and Crowe's characters.

![Perfect Symmetry [CD] [PA]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/9030/9030121_sa.jpg)
Posted by: simulated86
Perfect Symmetry has a really catchy sound. The first three songs (particularly Spiralling) are so good that it took me a while to stop pressing "repeat" so that I could listen to the rest of the songs. Now that I have gotten by the first three songs, two stand outs from the rest of the album are "Perfect Symmetry" and "Pretend That You're Alone."

you'll like this CD too. They have very similar sounds. All the songs are good, except "Goodnight, Travel Well" kind of drags on at the end.

This is a really good album. It has a more diverse sound than their previous albums, but retains the playful, melancholy lyrics that are characteristic of Fall Out Boy.

After listening to Fall Out Boy's first too major label releases I found out about this album. I decided that since I like all their stuff I had heard so far, I should take a chance on this. I am really glad that I did. It is a really good album. The sound is similar to From Under the Cork Tree.

After watching all the seasons of Scrubs, I have to say that each one is funnier and sillier than the one before it.
What's great about it: Soooooooooo funny!
What's not so great: None-unless you don't like to laugh.
