The Reef
 --Tami Horiuchi' border='0'>
- $11.99 new from $7.00 used from $1.96
The story of a young fish who suffers a great loss and moves to a new town where he falls in love
with a beautiful fish and angers the resident shark bully, The Reef (initially known as
Shark Bait) is a beautifully computer animated film with striking similarities to Finding
Nemo and Shark Tale. The first Hollywood feature-length, all computer generated film ever
made in Korea, The Reef won the Film Advisory Board Award of Excellence and is a great
display of saturated colors, nice underwater detailing, and anthropomorphic animation that endows
every fish with an abundance of character while retaining its believability as a fish. The voice
talent is good and includes Freddie Prinze Jr. as Pi, Evan Rachel Wood as Cordelia, Fran Drescher as
Pearl, Donal Logue as Troy, and Rob Schneider as a variety of sea creatures including Nerissa. The
story is engaging, but the whole film watches like a Finding Nemo knock-off with scenes like
the pelican bobbing on the channel marker, the Portuguese Man of War that populate the West Indies
current, and the wise old turtle Nerissa who teaches Pi so much about the ways of the sea.
Similarities to Shark Tale also abound, the most obvious being one little fish's
determination to stand up to the big bully shark. Appropriate for ages 3 and older, although the
initial scene where Pi's mother and father are caught in a fishing net may prove upsetting to very
young or sensitive children. --Tami Horiuchi

The Water Babies

- new from $5.66 used from $2.97
What happens when a young boy named Tom, apprenticed as a chimney sweep, gets framed for theft in
1850s England? Even though a young girl named Ellie knows the real thieves' identities and tries to
clear Tom's name, Tom's desperate escape run lands him right in the middle of Dead Man's Pool.
Assumed to have met certain death, Tom gets sucked into a magical underwater world. Tom befriends
the creatures he meets beneath the sea, and they accompany him on a journey to the land of Water
Babies, where he intends to ask the all-powerful Cracken to help him return to the world above the
water. Tom encounters many difficulties along the way, but he eventually arrives in the world of the
Water Babies, only to watch an evil shark and eel capture his new friends. Cracken forces Tom to
choose between his own return to the world and the freedom of the Water Babies. Tom wisely chooses
the Water Babies' freedom, winning his own return in the process. Life is far from idyllic when Tom
returns to land, but eventually the quick-thinking boy clears his name, traps the real thieves, and
wins a place in Ellie's affluent family. Many adults possess fond memories of seeing this 1978 movie
as children. The land portions of this 85-minute musical feature live-action footage, while the
water sequence is fully animated. To a fresh, modern audience, the abrupt change from one format to
the other is somewhat disconcerting, as is the choppy, older animation style. The story, based on
the classic children's book of the same name by Charles Kingsley, is an intriguing look at both
Victorian culture and the fantasy world. (Ages 4-8) --Tami Horiuchi

Shark Tale
 Finding Nemo,
Dreamworks' computer animated fish opera works from a more adult source, spoofing Coppola's The
Godfather with an impressive array of all-star vocal talents. Its soundtrack may be one of the
film's most consistently successful elements, a party-ready mix of contemporary r&b and hip-hop
lite. Two of the highlights here are rooted in a 1970s disco groove: Christina Aguilera and Missy
Elliott take a slinky cruise through a beat-drenched take on "Car Wash," while Cheryl Lynn's "Got
to Be Real" is given a soul-pumped turn by Mary J. Blige (featuring a new rap break by star Will
Smith and healthy samples of Lynn's original). Other standouts include fan 3's infectious "Digits,"
the pop-reggae inflected "Three Little Birds" by Sean Paul and Ziggy Marley, India Arie's dusky,
seductive "Get It Together" and the Ludacris workout "Gold Digger." An excerpt from Hans Zimmer's
antic, suitably tongue-in-cheek orchestral underscore closes the collection out. --Jerry

Aladdin (A Walt Disney Classic) [VHS]
 --Tom Keogh' border='0'>
- new from $3.46 used from $0.01
Disney's 1992 animated feature is a triumph of wit and skill. The high-tech artwork and graphics
look great, the characters are strong, the familiar story is nicely augmented with an interesting
villain (Jafar, voiced by Jonathan Freeman), and there's an incredible hook atop the whole thing:
Robin Williams's frantically hilarious vocal performance as Aladdin's genie. Even if one isn't
particularly moved by the love story between the title character (Scott Weinger) and his girlfriend
Jasmine (Linda Larkin), you can easily get lost in Williams's improvisational energy and the equally
entertaining performances of Freeman and Gilbert Gottfried (as Jafar's parrot). --Tom Keogh

Titanic [VHS]
 Titanic was delayed from July to December of
1997, media pundits speculated that Cameron's $200 million disaster epic would cause the director's
downfall, signal the end of the blockbuster era, and sink Paramount Studios as quickly as the
ill-fated luxury liner had sunk on that fateful night of April 14, 1912. Some studio executives were
confident, others horrified, but the clarity of hindsight turned Cameron into an Oscar-winning
genius, a shrewd businessman, and one of the most successful directors in the history of motion
pictures. Titanic would surpass the $1 billion mark in global box-office receipts (largely
due to multiple viewings, the majority by teenage girls), win 11 Academy Awards including best
picture and director, produce the best-selling movie soundtrack of all time, and make a global
superstar of Leonardo DiCaprio. A bona fide pop-cultural phenomenon, the film has all the
ingredients of a blockbuster (romance, passion, luxury, grand scale, a snidely villain, and an epic,
life-threatening crisis), but Cameron's alchemy of these ingredients proved more popular than anyone
could have predicted. His stroke of genius was to combine absolute authenticity with a pair of
fictional lovers whose tragic fate would draw viewers into the heart-wrenching reality of the
Titanic disaster. As starving artist Jack Dawson and soon-to-be-married socialite Rose DeWitt
Bukater, DiCaprio and Kate Winslet won the hearts of viewers around the world, and their brief but
never-forgotten love affair provides the humanity that Cameron needed to turn Titanic into an
emotional experience. Present-day framing scenes (featuring Gloria Stuart as the 101-year-old Rose)
add additional resonance to the story, and although some viewers proved vehemently immune to
Cameron's manipulations, few can deny the production's impressive achievements. Although some of the
computer-generated visual effects look artificial, others--such as the sunset silhouette of
Titanic during its first evening at sea, or the climactic splitting of the ship's sinking
hull--are state-of-the-art marvels. In terms of sets and costumes alone, the film is never less than
astounding. More than anything else, however, the film's overwhelming popularity speaks for itself.
Titanic is an event film and a monument to Cameron's risk-taking audacity, blending the
tragic irony of the Titanic disaster with just enough narrative invention to give the
historical event its fullest and most timeless dramatic impact. Titanic is an epic love story
on par with Gone with the Wind, and like that earlier box-office phenomenon, it's a film for
the ages. --Jeff Shannon' border='0'>

Tae-Bo Workout - Advanced and Tae-Bo Live! Sneak Preview [VHS]
 Tae-Bo Instructional and Basic are here, but Blanks has put a
little razzmatazz on them, adding slightly more complicated combinations that should be fairly easy
to master if you've completed the first two tapes. The new moves--which combine Tae-Bo's patented
mix of boxing punches and martial arts kicks--make this video much more exciting, but they also
considerably raise the bar on the difficulty factor. In addition to the short warm-up, the cool
down, and the 30 minutes of Tae-Bo, Advanced Tae-Bo also includes 18 minutes of
muscle-crunching floor work. You know you're in trouble when even the guys in the tape have trouble
keeping up. As Blanks says, your "butt should be on fire," and if you need to, "go ahead and scream
a little." But, as always, Blanks is a supportive coach, reminding you to go at your own pace (stop
for water if necessary), yet encouraging you to push yourself as much as you can. The music is still
cheesy, and some of the camera work somewhat confusing (the overhead angle makes the body
positioning in the floor work hard to follow). However, this is a terrific workout when you're ready
to take Tae-Bo to the next level; just make sure you have truly mastered the first two tapes before
attempting Advanced. A 20-minute sneak preview of Tae-Bo Live is included with this

Supernatural: The Complete Fourth Season
 Supernatural's fourth season reaches its cliffhanger
ending with "Lucifer Rising" (the title neatly sums up the plot), viewers should be fairly hungering
for the next episode--a good sign that a veteran series is still hitting its stride. Extras on
the six-disc set include commentary for three episodes: "In the Beginning," with executive producer
Eric Kripke and writer Jeremy Carver; "When the Levee Breaks," with director Robert Singer and
writer Sara Gamble; and "Lucifer Rising" with Kripke. Extended scenes are also available for several
episodes, and the features are rounded out by a trio of somewhat ponderous featurettes on the
concepts of Heaven, Purgatory, and Hell, as depicted in scenes from the show and discussed by its
writers, theologians, paranormal investigators, and the like. Clocking in between 10 and 25 minutes
apiece, the docs feel padded and somewhat undernourished in the information department. However,
they're unlikely to detract from one's enjoyment of this stellar season. --Paul Gaita' border='0'>
- $20.99 new from $19.74 used from $17.95
When a television series opens its new season with a lead character crawling out of his grave after
escaping Hell itself, one cannot help but wonder: how will the rest of the episodes ever follow
that? In the case of Supernatural's fourth season, the answer comes from above with the
introduction of Misha Collins's Castiel, an angel dispatched to rescue Dean Winchester (Jensen
Ackles) from infernal torment and reunite him with brother Sam (Jared Padalecki) for a very special
mission. That quest--to stop the demonic Lilith from opening the 66 seals required to bring Lucifer
to Earth and launch the Apocalypse--forms the backbone of the 22 episodes, which takes some fairly
adventurous risks with the core of the show. Chief among these is the rift that deepens between Dean
and Sam as they attempt to work together, despite their divergent destinies; also agreeable is the
season's tonal shift away from its previous Monster of the Week format (though that's still intact
for many episodes) and toward a single, more ambitious story and thematic arc. The sea change
deepens the show's drama, intensifies the level of suspense and stakes in each episode, and pushes
it several big steps away from its teen-friendly origins. Of course, there's still plenty of the
show's trademark irreverence and humor to be found, especially in the clever "Monster Movie," which
pits the brothers against a Shapeshifter that takes the form of classic movie fiends, and "The
Monster at the End of This Book," where Sam and Dean discover a comic book with plot lines very
similar to their own lives. By the time Supernatural's fourth season reaches its cliffhanger
ending with "Lucifer Rising" (the title neatly sums up the plot), viewers should be fairly hungering
for the next episode--a good sign that a veteran series is still hitting its stride. Extras on
the six-disc set include commentary for three episodes: "In the Beginning," with executive producer

The X-Files: The Complete Ninth Season
 the Truth. The naysayers have plenty
of valid complaints (particularly about the "Super Soldiers" segue), and many hated that the
Mulder/Scully pairing was gone, but there are a few aspects that are universally positive, and there
aren't many complaints about their replacements, Agent Doggett and Agent Reyes (Annabeth Gish). In
fact, many feel that the show could have easily continued if the show's writing had been better. The
final episode was more or less a 90-minute recap of the X-Files phenomenon. After "The Truth"
ended, disappointed hardcore fans couldn't help but feel it was a set-up for an upcoming movie, but
casual fans should find the episode very helpful in linking together the mythos that entranced and
confused viewers for years. It may not be up to par with the first six seasons, but season 9 is
still a lot better than most television shows. If you have the nerve to revisit this season, you
will be pleasantly surprised. --Rob Bracco' border='0'>

Though season 9 may not be the best period in a long line of groundbreaking television, it is still
worthy of the X-Files name. Knowing this was the last season had many fans prematurely
disgruntled, and the expectation for "going out with a bang" was extremely high. Lots of longtime
issues came to a head (Scully's single motherhood, new X-files agents at the helm, Agent Skinner is
now a believer, Mulder MIA, etc.), and many new issues and plots arose. Learning the facts of his
son's death, Agent Doggett (Robert Patrick) seeks out the missing Agent Mulder (David Duchovny) to
help him expose the corrupt Deputy Director Kersh (James Pickens Jr.). Knowing that her gifted son
William is a target of a religious cult, Scully (Gillian Anderson) enlists the help of the Lone
Gunmen for protection. The missing Mulder is finally located. Unfortunately, he is being held in
custody by the military on murder charges, which leads to the grand finale: the trial, not for a man
guilty of murder, but for a man guilty of seeking the Truth. The naysayers have plenty
of valid complaints (particularly about the "Super Soldiers" segue), and many hated that the
Mulder/Scully pairing was gone, but there are a few aspects that are universally positive, and there
aren't many complaints about their replacements, Agent Doggett and Agent Reyes (Annabeth Gish). In

Griffin Technology RadioShark AM / FM Desktop Radio with Time-Shift Recording
  | | The software interface includes frequency and volume sliders, along with band, seek,
and record buttons. |
Design and Setup
The slick-looking
RadioShark is shaped like (surprise!) a shark fin, with a white plastic exterior that looks
perfectly at home amidst a desktop full of Apple peripherals, including the ubiquitous iPod. This
makes sense given Griffin's reputation as a manufacturer of Apple accessories. Installation is quick
and easy thanks to the included CD-ROM, which comes with software installers for both Mac and PC.
Users will need to be running OS X 10.2.8 or higher or Windows XP to operate the software, however.
Once it's up and running, users can easily reposition the device to improve radio reception and
recording quality, though we didn't have any problem picking up the signals in our notoriously
reception-poor region. Listeners can also add an external antenna to the rear jack should reception
prove spotty. Features and Performance
Listening to the radio with the RadioShark is
as simple as flipping a switch. The basic yet intuitive software interface includes frequency and
volume sliders, along with band, seek, and record buttons. It takes but a fraction of a second to
change stations, and the signal responds immediately. The audio quality isn't terrific, but it's
just fine given the circumstances (FM radio through computer speakers). Recording is also quite
easy, whether it's for five seconds or five hours. Once you turn it off, the files save conveniently
as either AIFF or AAC files (Mac) or WAV files (PC) in your computer's designated music directory,
where you can listen to them later or export them to other applications. Alternately, Mac users can
choose to import their recordings directly into iTunes for added convenience. This is particularly
cool for iPod users, who can record songs or programs from the RadioShark and then listen to them
later while on the move. The Time-Shift feature, which offers a continuous 30-minute recording
loop, is also quite convenient. Should you pause or rewind a segment, you can easily rejoin the live
broadcast by clicking the fast forward button. The RadioShark also continues to record the live
broadcast while you're checking out the archived footage, ensuring that you don't miss a second. And
should you want to permanently record a Time-Shifted song or program, you can just hit record and
it's done. A couple of other convenient features include an equalizer with several preset settings
and an easy-to-follow scheduling window for upcoming recordings. Listeners can even set the
RadioShark to record hourly, daily, or weekly programs. Unfortunately, thanks to a few serious
hiccups, these scheduled recordings may never come to pass. Specifically, if you let your computer
drift off to sleep, the RadioShark responds by disconnecting from the software. The only way to sync
it back up is to unplug the Shark and start again, but in the process, listeners lose all their
scheduling information. This problem appears persistent in both Macs and PCs, though Griffin's web
site says Windows users shouldn't experience the problem. Griffin recommends disabling the sleep
preference as a solution, but that's inconvenient for a number of reasons. As an alternative, users
can reconnect the device each time it fizzles, but that's also a pain and makes the scheduling
window virtually obsolete. Until Griffin releases an update, the sleep issue will remain a major
drawback. We also experienced a few skips while using the Time-Shift feature. These weren't
standard static interruptions, but sounded more like sporadic CD skips--sometimes several to a song.
This wouldn't be a big deal when listening to conversational radio such as NPR, but if you're trying
to record music, it could be a real drag. But it's the sleep issue that really prevents us from
giving the RadioShark an enthusiastic recommendation. Should the recording problems steer listeners
away from the RadioShark? Not necessarily, unless scheduled recording is the main reason you're
drawn to the machine. The radio and Time-Shift features are still pretty cool, and the RadioShark
offers one of the easiest ways to record live radio into digital formats. But it does put a damper
on an otherwise great product. --Rivers Janssen Pros

There's a lot to like about Internet radio, but sometimes you just want to catch the local NPR
broadcast or listen to the ballgame without searching for a streaming audio feed. Griffin satisfies
this urge with its RadioShark, an AM/FM desktop radio that plugs into your computer's USB port to
broadcast the full spectrum of local radio. More impressively, the device also acts as a radio
version of a digital video recorder, employing a technology called Time-Shift Recording to pause and
rewind live radio (think TiVo). Time-Shift Recording lets a user pause a live interview, leave the
desk for 15 minutes, and then return without missing a second of conversation. In addition, the
RadioShark records radio in real time with the push of a button or records favorite programs via the
VCR-like scheduling window. Griffin touts the device as a great way to take control of how and when
you listen to the radio. And we agree for the most part, but with a major caveat. | | The software interface includes frequency and volume sliders, along with band, seek,

Listening to the radio with the RadioShark is
as simple as flipping a switch. The basic yet intuitive software interface includes frequency and
volume sliders, along with band, seek, and record buttons. It takes but a fraction of a second to
change stations, and the signal responds immediately. The audio quality isn't terrific, but it's
just fine given the circumstances (FM radio through computer speakers). Recording is also quite
easy, whether it's for five seconds or five hours. Once you turn it off, the files save conveniently
as either AIFF or AAC files (Mac) or WAV files (PC) in your computer's designated music directory,
where you can listen to them later or export them to other applications. Alternately, Mac users can
choose to import their recordings directly into iTunes for added convenience. This is particularly
cool for iPod users, who can record songs or programs from the RadioShark and then listen to them
later while on the move. The Time-Shift feature, which offers a continuous 30-minute recording
loop, is also quite convenient. Should you pause or rewind a segment, you can easily rejoin the live
broadcast by clicking the fast forward button. The RadioShark also continues to record the live
broadcast while you're checking out the archived footage, ensuring that you don't miss a second. And
should you want to permanently record a Time-Shifted song or program, you can just hit record and
it's done. A couple of other convenient features include an equalizer with several preset settings
and an easy-to-follow scheduling window for upcoming recordings. Listeners can even set the
RadioShark to record hourly, daily, or weekly programs. Unfortunately, thanks to a few serious
hiccups, these scheduled recordings may never come to pass. Specifically, if you let your computer
drift off to sleep, the RadioShark responds by disconnecting from the software. The only way to sync
it back up is to unplug the Shark and start again, but in the process, listeners lose all their
scheduling information. This problem appears persistent in both Macs and PCs, though Griffin's web
site says Windows users shouldn't experience the problem. Griffin recommends disabling the sleep
preference as a solution, but that's inconvenient for a number of reasons. As an alternative, users
can reconnect the device each time it fizzles, but that's also a pain and makes the scheduling
window virtually obsolete. Until Griffin releases an update, the sleep issue will remain a major
drawback. We also experienced a few skips while using the Time-Shift feature. These weren't
standard static interruptions, but sounded more like sporadic CD skips--sometimes several to a song.
This wouldn't be a big deal when listening to conversational radio such as NPR, but if you're trying
to record music, it could be a real drag. But it's the sleep issue that really prevents us from
giving the RadioShark an enthusiastic recommendation. Should the recording problems steer listeners
away from the RadioShark? Not necessarily, unless scheduled recording is the main reason you're
drawn to the machine. The radio and Time-Shift features are still pretty cool, and the RadioShark
offers one of the easiest ways to record live radio into digital formats. But it does put a damper
on an otherwise great product. --Rivers Janssen Pros

World
DCS: Black Shark operations are based in the western Caucus region and include
portions of Russia, Georgia and a small part of Turkey. With Russia, special attention is paid to
the Krasnodarskiy, Karachayrvo-Cherkesiya, Kabardino-Balkariya and Stavropol’skey regions.
Some of this area will be recognizable from Flaming Cliffs, but DCS: Black Shark has
added a considerable new amount of terrain, particularly much of Georgia. the DCS: Black
Shark map is approximately 330,000 sq. km of ground and sea area. Comprehensive Access to
Kamov-50 Avionics Systems
DCS: Black Shark comes packed with a wide range of
piloting, navigation, targeting and defensive systems avionics for the Ka-50. Game copies
include a detailed flight manual covering these, which include, but are not limited
to: traditional electromechanical cockpit instruments, multifunction advanced moving map
system AMMS (ABRIS), the "Rubicon" targeting-navigation system, the I-251 "Shkval" antitank
targeting system, countermeasure dispensers, a head-up display (HUD) and helmet-mounted
sighting (HMS). Artificial Intelligence (AI) Aircraft
the primary
innovation regarding AI aircraft in Black Shark is the inclusion of a new and
improved flight model (FM) system. In previous Eagle Dynamics products such as Lock
On, the AI-aircraft FM did not reach a high-level of realism, relying sometimes instead
on animations to supplement flight dynamics equations. This absence of detailed angle
of attack modeling and the influence of cross wind led to problems during advanced
maneuvers. To remedy this Black Shark features the same standard flight model (SFM)
that was used for player-controlled aircraft in Lock On. With this advancement in AI
aircraft flight dynamics it is now possible for the AI to conduct more advanced flight
maneuvers and combat tactics. Ground Vehicles, Ships and Weapons
Ground vehicles, ships and weapons such as bombs, rockets, missiles and cannons have
been significantly improved in Black Shark. Improvements include: an expanded roster
of available active ground vehicles, the ability of each ground vehicle to use multiple
types of weapons simultaneously, an overall increase in the level of detail and the
inclusion of infantry units. Key Game Features: - Advanced
helicopter and ground force AI that creates a realistic combat environment.
- Twice the ground
detail of previous TFC simulations, featuring detailed modeling of 330,000 sq. km of the
western Caucasus region.
- Head-to-head and cooperative multiplayer.
- Powerful mission
editor with advanced scripting capability.
- Campaign system with a moving front line that
depends on mission results.
- Highly-detailed six degrees of freedom cockpit featuring
Mouse-clickable instruments.
- Unrivaled flight physics system featuring realistic damage
model, system cascade effect and more.
- Detailed modeling and control of engine,
fuel, hydraulics, electrical, navigation, radio, fire suppression, sensor, and weapon
systems.
- Two gameplay modes: "Simulation" or "Game Console."
- Advanced weapon physics
for missiles, rockets and cannon rounds including ricochets.
- Supports TrackIR, Matrox
TripleHead2Go for multiple screens, D-Box motion platform.

Finding Nemo movie will be tempted to pick up one
of the two games that star everyone's favorite clownfish. Both games feature original voice work by
the outstanding Nemo cast, including the pitch-perfect Albert Brooks, Willem Dafoe, and Ellen
DeGeneres. Each game also has a selection of cut-scenes from the movies, shown when tasks are well
done. The difference between the two games is that Nemo's Underwater World of Fun was created
(says the box) for children four and over, and is by far the simpler of the two Nemo titles.
