Great item, I bought it as a gift after reading positive reviews. Nice to see stimulating verses, as well as interesting photos. A great gift for children, bringing them some intellect and culture along with a beloved character.I particularly liked the page with Hello Kitty in the devil suit, the unexpected elements in this book are quite entertaining.

I am mostly familiar with the works of Hayao Miyazaki and this was quite a departure from that. I was worried that I might not like it, however just a few moments into the beginning titles with it's imaginative imagery and great music that makes you want to hear it again, I was hooked. Paprika is a full story with shades of love, humor, drama, etc. The writers should be commended for the levels of humanity they have created in the characters that make you care about what is happening to them. The imagery is wonderful it stays in your mind. I still smile when I think of the alligators in the parade! This is definitely worth seeing.

I had checked this CD out from my local library many years ago now. I liked it so much that I put it on a list I keep of musical pieces I particularly like. I tried to get the CD a few months ago and discovered that it is no longer in the circulation collection of the library. Luckily I was able to find a copy for purchase here. I was so excited when it came, I have listened to it multiple times since I received it. The early music presented on this collection is a delight, the recording is excellent and the performances are outstanding. If you have a thing for the haunting tones and melodies of early music this is a must have for your collection. Jewels like this shouldn't be out of print!

This CD was on my "to get" list for years. The only thing that delayed my obtaining it is that it is out of print, and somewhat sought after which makes the copies that do come up for sale a little overpriced. Personally, I think paying any more than $30 for this CD would be way too much. The music is very emotive and beautifully presented, but there is little to no variation on most of the tracks making it one of the less inspired movie soundtracks available. That being said, if you fell in love with that main theme music as I did, it is a fun treat to listen and recall the wonderfully played scenes of the film in your minds eye.

I fell in love with this series at age 16, and now at age 29 I am sharing the episodes with my Fiance. Waiting for God is delightfully humorous while exploring the lives of "the elderly inmates" as Diana puts it, as well as the lives of their relatives and care givers. I have always enjoyed how this series strips away the mask of old age and makes you see the essential human lives that are still thriving for these individuals. I love the story arc, at the end of this series there is no disappointment, you are left with happy contentment at the final events for these friends you come to love - even the Idiot Baines. Enjoy!
