IIT 62135 Assorted Jumbo Screwdrivers - 4 Piece Set

  • Magnetic tipped
  • Chrome vanadium steel shafts for maximum strength and durability
  • Comfortable cushioned grip
  • Includes (4) assorted screwdrivers
Deluxe six 45 RPM 180gm vinyl LP pressing. Garage, Inc. features covers of music by artists such as Black Sabbath, Bob Seger, Nick Cave, Thin Lizzy, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Motorhead, Queen and more! Included are recorded cover songs, all of their B-side covers released up to 1998, and the entire The $5.98 E.P.: Garage Days Re-Revisited, which had gone out of print since its original release in 1987.This double-disc, all-covers release could come to represent a vital turning point for Metallica. While disc 2 is a straightforward collection of every cover the group have recorded in its 16-year history, disc 1 comprises 11 new selections drawn from the oeuvres of such exciting and diverse artists as U.K. punks Discharge and nefarious Aust! ralian Nick Cave. The heavier songs, such as the Mercyful Fate medley, Black Sabbath's "Sabbra Cadabra," and the Misfits' "Die Die My Darling," prove that nobody delivers a crunching riff better than these metal veterans. But it is vocalist-guitarist James Hetfields's confident approach toward the likes of Cave's "Loverman" and Bob Seger's "Turn the Page" that delivers the most electricity; here his raw, heartfelt vocals are largely untouched. Given that the recharged group spent only three weeks in the studio recording these tracks, it appears that these guys have remembered the value of studio spontaneity over laborious pontificating. Hopefully, that mindset will resurface in future projects. --Steffan ChiraziFrom the director of the ground-breaking film I, Robot comes this hip, sexy comedy about a garage band with everything it takes to make it to the top?except talent. Waiting for their big break, a group of young rockers and their clueless manager can't keep the! ir heads on straight -- or their hands off each other. Loaded ! with sex , drugs and rock-n-roll, GARAGE DAYS proves you don?t have to be a rock star to party like one!Alex Proyas, director of sci-fi dramas Dark City and I, Robot, took a detour toward a modified retro-'60s, upbeat rock & roll comedy with 2002's lightly engaging Garage Days. Set in a Sydney, Australia suburb, the film is a quirky variation on the story of a misfit band trying to get a break with successful managers, clubs, recording studios, lovers, etc. Singer-guitarist Freddy (Kick Gurry) desperately maneuvers his group toward stardom, but his bandmates' internal struggles and the capriciousness of a powerful record executive (Marton Csokas) prove major stumbling blocks. So, too, is Freddy's deepening attraction to Kate (Maya Stange), girlfriend of his lead guitarist Joe (Brett Stiller), who in turn may be having a nervous breakdown via a dangerous side romance with a suicidal beauty (Yvette Duncan). Proyas enjoys his patches of darkness in Garage Days, but for the most part he's making his own, devil-may-care A Hard Day's Night. --Tom KeoghOur house was very popular last Saturday.

Dolby 2.0 StereoLimited Edition Japanese pressing of this alb! um comes housed in a miniature LP sleeve. 2006.Based on the bestselling book by Andrew Ross Sorkin, Too Big To Fail offers an intimate look at the epochal financial crisis of 2008 and the powerful men and women who decided the fate of the world’s economy in a matter of a few weeks. Centering on Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, the film goes behind closed doors to examine the symbiotic relationship between Wall Street and Washington.Anyone with a significant amount of money invested in the U.S. financial markets might want to consider other strategies after seeing Too Big to Fail, a meticulously detailed account of the months in 2008 when not only America's economy but the whole world's was on the brink of an apocalyptic meltdown. Made for HBO, director Curtis Hanson's film boasts one of the more impressive casts in recent memory (William Hurt, James Woods, Paul Giamatti, Billy Crudup, Edward Asner, Topher Grace, Matthew Modine, Bill Pullman, Tony Shalhou! b, Cynthia Nixon… the list is long and star studded), with H! urt espe cially effective as Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, the central figure here. Having already presided over the collapse and sale of the investment banking giant Bear Stearns, Paulson was faced with a similar crisis when Lehman Brothers, another investment banker, saw its stock price tumble and its clients depart in droves--the result of the lack of government regulation and the purchase of new homes by many people who could not in fact afford them, among other factors. Paulson's attempts to oversee a private sale of the over-leveraged company failed, leading Lehman to bankruptcy; others, like American International Group (AIG), would soon have followed had not the government intervened with an 11th-hour bailout. The movie presents a great deal of information and an enormous amount of data, but Hanson and screenwriter Peter Gould (working from Andrew Ross Sorkin's book), while hardly sympathetic to the financial wheeler-dealers who got us into this mess, do a good job of kee! ping it all straight; and although we know how it turned out, the story is surprisingly gripping and tense, with brilliant performances by Giamatti (as Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke) and Crudup (as banker-economist Timothy Geithner) in particular. With the 2008 presidential election looming, most of us were unaware of how close the global economy came to complete failure, but by the end of Too Big to Fail, we are left with the sobering realization that most of our money exists merely on paper--no bank could possibly cover its investors if they all wanted to liquidate at the same time. So perhaps putting a stash of cash in the mattress or a coffee can buried in the back yard isn't such a bad idea after all. --Sam GrahamBrother to Brother: New Writings by Black Gay Men, begun by Joseph Beam and completed by Essex Hemphill after Beam's death in 1988, is a collection of now-classic literary work by black gay male writers. This new edition includes an intr! oduction by Dr. Jafari Sinclaire Allen.MISER BROTHER'S CHRISTM! AS DE - DVD MovieRemember Snow Miser and Heat Miser, the two brothers who couldn't stop fighting in The Year Without a Santa Claus? They're back and they've been thrust into the most unexpected roles of potential saviors of Christmas thanks to the antics of their self-absorbed brother North Wind. North Wind is plotting to get rid of Santa and claim Christmas as his own holiday, but when his plans go awry, Snow Miser and Heat Miser are blamed for Santa's mishap and their mother, Mother Nature, decides that a fitting punishment is to force the boys to work together and take Santa's place during the holiday rush. Needless to say, the constantly feuding brothers don't work well together, but Mrs. Claus devises a plan involving the naughty and nice list that might just force the boys to put aside their rivalry and collaborate. A stop-animation production reminiscent of favorite Rankin-Bass holiday specials like Santa Claus is Coming to Town and Rudolph the Red Nosed Rein! deer, A Miser Brothers Christmas features hand-crafted, incredibly expressive puppets, richly detailed sets, excellent voice talent including Mickey Rooney as Santa, and a crisp, high definition picture that adds a whole new dimension of detail and clarity to the classic animation form. A 23-minute bonus featurette takes an in-depth look at everything from puppet construction to voice casting, the use of color in the film, and the patience and attention to detail required in stop animation, and features interview footage from producers, puppet makers, animators, voice actors, and many others. A Miser Brothers Christmas is an entertaining holiday film with attitude, conflict, and a great message about overcoming rivalry and working together. (Ages 3 and older). --Tami Horiuchi
