Not bad for a WWII combat movie. Slow at points, but, if you can get past the slow points the movie does make a point that war is hell.

Cooking Mama 3: Shop & Chop
$29.99
If you're a fan of the Cooking Mama Series or like casual and unique games you should definitely check out this game.

The basics of the game haven't changed from the previous Cooking Mama games, but that's what makes this series so good. I mean "if it ain't broke don't fix it", right?

What makes this game the best in the series is the adding of extra challenges such as matching food types to create a new recipe (there was something similar to this in the first Cooking Mama, but it was way more generic). You don't find out the recipe you've made until you're finished which is fun too.

There is also a "shopping" challenge in which you have to run around a grocery store picking up food while avoiding over zealous employees and shoppers. If you do happen to run into them you enter a mini game. This challenge is a good distraction if you're tired of the "cooking" aspect of the game.

Also this game has done away with some of the more "frustrating" aspects of the previous Cooking Mama games. For example, you don't have to go through the whole trial and error process of guessing when to add certain ingredients when you stir fry food. The game will tell you when to add the various ingredients. Also there are ways to "save" yourself on certain steps if you mess up. This is good if you want a perfect score but dread having to go through the easy and boring nine other steps each time you mess up on the tenth.

All that being said, there are still some drawbacks to the game which permeate through the entire series. There are bonuses you can get, usually in the form of icons which you can add to a diary entry and sometimes clothing or designs for Mama and the kitchen respectively. I personally find the picture diary and especially the icons pointless. It's fun for about 2 seconds to change Mama's outfit.

Also, (unless I'm missing something) the "shopping" part of the game, while a fun distraction, is pointless in that it's not really incorporated with other parts of the game. Shopping can get annoying too when it's impossible to get away from employees, forcing you to play the mini-games over and over again.

Overall, this is a good buy and so far, it's the standout product in the Cooking Mama series.

Skullcandy Chops Hanger Earbuds - Black
$19.95
I've gone through a ton of headphones ranging from $9 to $300 and these are by far the absolute WORST sounding set I've ever used. I would stay away from these as there are much better sounding sets at a much better price out there.

Lamb Chop's Play Along: Jokes, Riddles, Knock Knocks and Funny Poems [VHS]
$9.98
A great performance by Shari Lewis and her puppet friends. The humor hits funny bones of both kids (especially early elementary school age) and adults. The puppets are so expressive. This video gives kids some really good material to work with when they want to start sharing jokes with their family and friends. This fast-paced show held our attention the whole way through.
