Customer Review: Works weel enough
I put these in my truck box, just for some light if I need to get into it at night. Don’t fool yourself and think that these will have the light output of a couple of headlights. They aren’t that bright, but they give plenty of light for rummaging around in the bed of a truck. I installed 2 of them, and have the 3rd for something else, just not sure what yet.

Mounted in high lavish style, from the opening strains to coda, The Red Violin pays homage to the careful uses of color and composition without bothering to support these qualities with any real substance. Oh, it’s a class act on the surface all the way, while failing on nearly every other level to convince. The story tells the story, revealing precious little else. The 17th-century Cremonese instrument-maker Niccolo Bussotti finishes his final violin with a curious red varnish, the secret of which spans the film, yet will come as a surprise only to the very sleepy. The odd voyage of this unique violin through history is then explored from one episode to the next, from child prodigy to gypsies to Victorian virtuoso to a clandestine enclave of art lovers in Shanghai during the Cultural Revolution. This is all framed by the violin’s rediscovery in present day by instrument appraiser Charles Morritz (Samuel L. Jackson), for whom the perfect instrument strikes a resonant chord. The main scheme of the film, an object connecting a number of seemingly disparate stories, has been used many times, most notably in Max Ophuls’s La Ronde. But while this approach is employed elsewhere to cause one scene to reverberate against another, The Red Violin is content to leave each episode thematically unconnected with any of the others. On the decorative level, the film may satisfy many viewers with its sensuous attention to tone and detail, as well as its eclectic and expertly performed score. But as narrative it is very slight. Just pierce the pretty crust of this puff pastry and gaze in wonder at the pocket of air within. –Jim Gay

Customer Review: And a whole lot more!
A faint, pleasant echo from an era when we had less to worry about. Yes, it’s a silly movie with a fluffy, ‘bouncy’ little plot (and sub-plot), but it’s fun to watch Kim Cattrall and Kurt Russell perform when they were both *so* much younger… James Hong is excellent… His villain provides “a whole lot more” than just ‘timelessness’ and ‘inscrutability’ on tap. Nice relaxing fun.

Customer Review: Good Course But You Need to Know This …..
Power Chinese is good, but you need to know that with it you will not be able to create your own original sentence in Mandarin. For this reason I suggest you take Amazon’s recommendation of ‘Better Together’ and order this along with Behind the Wheel Chinese (Mandarin), Level 1: Learn to Speak Mandarin Chinese Quickly and Easily! (8 One Hour CDs). If you can only order one at a time then begin with Behind the Wheel Chinese (Mandarin), Level 1: Learn to Speak Mandarin Chinese Quickly and Easily! (8 One Hour CDs) and then move on to Power Chinese.
