About this product: As I've gotten older, I've found that I've more frequently awoken with a cramp or "crick" in my neck from a bad night of sleep, plus I've had some ongoing issues with neck pain, upper body tightness, and others. After doing some research, I tried using a rolled up blanket inside my pillowcase to provide further support for my neck. This did seem to help, as I was sleeping more soundly and tossing/turning less, but it didn't seem viable as a long-term solution.
So, I began looking into purchasing a ergonomic pillow. I was worried that many of these types of pillows--particularly the "memory foam" style--would be too hard and uncomfortable for me, especially given that my existing pillow was rather soft and down-filled. I was attracted to this Obus pillow because it was specifically billed as being "soft" despite the supportive shape. Furthermore, I liked that it was available in a Queen size, something that I had trouble finding in other ergonomic pillows.
I received my pillow in the mail a few days ago (great price with amazon and free shipping too!), and so far, it's exactly what I had hoped for! It's definitely more supportive than my old pillow, yet it's well-cushioned and quite comfortable. I have been sleeping well since using this pillow and have not experienced any neck pain or upper back tightness so far. I'm optimistic that this will be an effective solution for me, although I'll be sure to edit my review if anything changes.

About this product: Except for feature-length animation, the musical has gone the way of the dinosaur. The Walt Disney company took a stab at reviving the live-action musical in 1992 with Newsies, a throwback picture with a curious subject. In 1899, the pint-sized newsboys delivering the New York papers go on strike against the unfair practices of news magnates Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst. The production is heavy on kiddie humor, although Christian Bale (the child star of Spielberg's Empire of the Sun) is charismatic as one of the older leaders of the revolt. The adult stars don't fare as well, with Robert Duvall doddering around as Pulitzer and Ann-Margret and Bill Pullman doing decorative duty. The film was not well received when first released, but hindsight reveals its charm (and allowed the young target audience to catch up with the picture on video). The first-time director is Kenny Ortega, the choreographer of Dirty Dancing, who brings plenty of energy to the action. --Robert Horton
About this product: I am a teacher and purchased this video to show to my class after we had done a unit on the book. It is really the only video of this story so if you are looking for the Ira Sleeps Over movie this is your only selection. The kids liked it for class but I don't think it would work just for entertainment in the home. It may come across as rather cheesy.
About this product: All hype, and controversy aside, I think this thing had the potential to be a really good movie. First of all, it was a story about a crazy axe-wielding Santa Claus, for crying out loud. I don't think that had ever been done before. The closest thing to it was maybe that movie where the guy in the Santa Claus suit walks into a bank with a gun, and robs it, and I've never even seen that flick (I just remember seeing a clip from it in the movie "Terror In The Aisles"), but like all original and creative ideas it was met with skepticism, humor, and of course outright fear. That is probably why this movie was so cheaply made. No self-respecting cinematic company would take part in such an outlandish, off-the-wall project. Hence, they had to settle for a production company that no one had ever heard of. The film suffered, as a result.
I think this might have been a better movie if they had been able to sink maybe say, a hundred thousand more dollars into it (1984 dollars, mind you), hired a better camera crew, screen writer, and music composer. The acting, and the special effects were actually fairly good, especially Robert Brian Wilson, who played Billy, the troubled young lad who would eventually run amok with an axe while wearing a Santa Claus suit.
Say what you will, but it's no secret that film companies have a lot more freedom these days, and if Castle Rock Entertainment, or New Line Cinema were to produce this film today I think it might have turned out as good as "A Nightmare On Elm Street 3," or any number of it's successors. But even as it stands it's a fairly interesting, and entertaining movie. Good for laughs, if nothing else. Don't buy it, though. Rent it first, and see how it rubs you.

About this product: Here's an excellent recipe for a holiday charmer: Take two charismatic and easy-on-the-eyes romantic leads (Morris Chestnut, The Brothers, and Gabrielle Union, Bring It On); put them in an entertainingly preposterous plot that keeps them from falling too easily in each other's arms; surround them with a cantankerous and sneaky supporting cast of friends and foes (such as Katt Williams, Friday After Next; Rachel True, The Craft; Charles Q. Murphy, Chappelles's Show; and Faizon Love, Idlewild); and frame it all with a couple of supernatural spirits of good and bah-humbug (Queen Latifah, Bringing Down the House, and Terence Howard, Hustle & Flow). Mix it all with bright colors and smart sideways quips--sometimes out of the mouths of a trio of adorable tykes--and you've got The Perfect Holiday, about a songwriting department store Santa (Chestnut) who, thanks to a little girl's wish, falls in love with a single mom (Union)--who just happens to be the ex-wife of a crass hip-hop superstar (Murphy) who's looking for a hit song. Some elements don't entirely mesh and the screwball plot stretches belief at times, but cheerfully so, and the actors are so appealing you can't resist going along with them. All in all, a holiday movie that doesn't oversell the treacle yet manages to end up warm and fuzzy; this could become an annual favorite. --Bret Fetzer
