Top Christmas Toys 2011 Shopping Guide


If you are looking for great toys for kids this Christmas check out
You will discover the "Top 5" toys in these five categories... Infant & Toddlers, Preschoolers, For Boys, For Girls and Specialty Toys for 2011
Along with a photo of the product, for the novice shoppers to know what to look for (like my husband), you will find a product description and a few customer reviews.
I found this guide interesting because it comes with some customer reviews, which are always helpful when you're looking at things that you've never heard of or never tried before.  I really enjoyed seeing what toys were recommended as the Top Christmas Toys.  I have children who would fit into each of the categories and it was nice to see what options there were.  My children have talked about a few of these products but not many of them so I'm not sure we will buy many, but this is a great little guide to get your holiday shopping started.

Good luck everyone, Merry Christmas from Silkki's Reviews.

WB Holiday 2011 ~~For Him~~ Gift Guide


Synopsis:
For Nick (Jason Bateman), Kurt (Jason Sudeikis) and Dale (Charlie Day), the only thing that would make the daily grind more tolerable would be to grind their intolerable bosses into dust.  Quitting is not an option, so, with the benefit of a few too many drinks and some dubious advice from a hustling ex-con, the three friends devise a convoluted and seemingly foolproof plan to rid themselves of their respective employers....permanently.  There's only one problem: even the best-laid plans are only as foolproof as the brains behind them.

Mysterious mer-man Mark Harris washed ashore on the nation's TVs in early '77 and quickly became a breakout hero.  America fell hard for the Atlantean amnesiac, generating big ratings for the Man from Atlantis pilot movie and its three subsequent follow-up TV movies.  Starring newcomer Patrick Duffy and overseen by Robert Justman (Adventures of Superman, Star Trek, Then Came Bronson, Probe/Search), the original TV movies easily swim, between the parallel genres of Science Fiction and Super-Heroics, creating a fantasy that is still fun and fresh today.  This 2 disc collection contains all 4 TV movies.  Also stars Belinda Montgomery.

Orson Welles’ masterwork (#1 in the American Film Institute’s list of Best American Movies) dazzles anew in a superb 70th-Anniversary digital transfer.  It’s grand entertainment, sharply acted (starring many of Welles’ Mercury Players on the road to thriving film careers) and directed with inspired visual flair.  Chronicling the stormy life of a influential publishing tycoon, the Best Original Screenplay Academy Award winner (1941) is rooted in themes of power, corruption, vanity - the American Dream lost in the mystery of a dying man’s last word: “Rosebud”
