April 29, 2019Reviewer: Terri in Ohio* I love this cereal. Its not oatmeal or cream of wheat. It has its own taste and texture. I love itThis review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Vanilla Almond
April 29, 2019Reviewer: Amanda in California* Super bitter after taste, the Dixie USA Carb Counters one on Netrition is sooooo much better!This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Apple Cinnamon
April 12, 2019Reviewer: sara in Italy* I love this product and don't miss the chance to buy it. Purchased several times.This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Strawberrilicious
April 09, 2019Reviewer: Audrey in Pennsylvania* Very satisfying. Stays with you until lunch.This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Butter Pecan
April 08, 2019Reviewer: Debra in California* I love hot cereal and was excited to see this product. I purchased the Apple Cinnamon. It is nothing like oatmeal, cream of wheat or any other hot cereal I have ever eaten. The consistency was not appetizing at all. I tried it thicker and thinner - gross. It also left a strange and bitter aftertaste. Into the garbage. So disappointed.This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Apple Cinnamon
March 28, 2019Reviewer: Amanda in Georgia* I hate to give negative reviews because I really benefit a lot from Netrition, but on the other hand, I don't want folks to waste their money on this.... This product had a really bitter aftertaste to me, and I couldn't even finish several bites of it. Tossing the whole bag away. =/ .... The smooth consistency was nice I guess though.This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Apple Cinnamon
March 16, 2019Reviewer: Kristy in Ohio* This hot cereal is fantastic. The high fiber and low carb is exactly what I need daily. In my opinion, Vanilla Almond has the best flavor. It's not too artificially sweet, but tastes just like vanilla with pieces of almonds. So far, the apple cinnamon is my least favorite as it tastes a little off to me. the Apple is a little too chemically tasting if that makes sense? Next order I will try the Strawberry.This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Vanilla Almond
February 10, 2019Reviewer: Donna in New York* This tastes horrible!!! I couldn't see an expiration date - does it ever expire - tastes bitter with a funny aftertaste - going into the trash!!This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Butter Pecan
December 22, 2018Reviewer: April in California* This is my least favorite product I've ordered from netrition so far. In favor of this product, the cereal grain taste and viscous texture of oatmeal are here, thanks to the wheat bran and flax meal, respectively, but the gritty texture of the insoluble bran fiber just refuses to leave your mouth. Literally this product is nothing but flax meal and wheat chaff in a bowl; you can easily make it yourself with a combination of the coarse ground flax meal and oat fiber that you probably already have in your pantry.
In the end, I threw it out. IMO this is a waste of perfectly good flax.
December 13, 2018Reviewer: Theresa in California* If you love cream of wheat, I think you will like this, maybe even love it. I ate it for breakfast at work and instantly knew Id order more tonight.
I followed the recommended proportions of cereal/water and it was just about perfect. Added a splash of half n half because its what I had. The strawberry flavor is mild and didnt taste artificial. A bit scared to try the apple flavor because of the reviews, but Im back for more strawberry, the plain (so I can make Keto CocoWheats!), and maybe another flavor. Ill keep this stuff in regular rotation for the foreseeable future!This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Strawberrilicious
September 21, 2018Reviewer: Kris in Connecticut* Love it. Great for cold winter mornings.This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Vanilla Almond
August 30, 2018Reviewer: Merry in Utah* I really like hot cereal in the cooler weather, but, because Im very restricted in my carb intake, things like oatmeal and Cream of Wheat are out. I tried the Butter Pecan flavor, and, frankly, Im not at all impressed.
I couldnt detect any butter flavor, the pieces of pecan were small and few. I have never used sugar on cerealeither hot or coldso, for me, this was WAY too sweet. And the textureUGH! It was more like gluey pablum than any other hot cereal Ive ever tried.
I really didnt want to have to toss the $7+ that I paid for it, so this morning I decided to try to save it. I have a plentiful low-carb pantry, so I started with a little of the Sensato cereal, then added dry, unsugared coconut chips, whole flax seeds, slivered almonds, more pecans in bigger pieces, a little steel-cut oatmeal, some chia seeds, and a few pieces of dry, unsugared fruit. It was MUCH better! The sweet taste was cut down to bearable, and it has a lot of texture to give it a rewardingly chunky and crunchy mouth feel.
Ill be able to use it up in this way, but I wont buy it again.This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Butter Pecan

Came back to this site to order other flavors and saw the request for a review. You betcha! One of the things I miss most on a keto diet is oatmeal but I also loved Cream of Wheat and this satiates that need for something truly carby feeling. It's a delicious mush, if that's what you're into. Super tasty! Very excited to try some other flavors.This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Butter Pecan
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulMay 03, 2018Reviewer: Cynthia in New Jersey* Love this cereal. It is not like oatmeal but more like a cream of wheat. I add extra water, microwave for 1-2 minutes, add some cream or half n half, stir. It does turn creamy for me. Will continue to order.This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Vanilla Almond
April 20, 2018Reviewer: Erin in California* I really wanted to like this product, but the texture killed it for me. It isn't smooth and creamy, but gritty. The taste was fine, though I had to add sugar free maple syrup to it to bring out the butter pecan taste of the cereal. It is very filling, which is a plus, but it just didn't have the mouthful of real hot cereal.This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Butter Pecan
March 17, 2018Reviewer: Bruce in Missouri* Was VERY pleasantly surprised by this. I used to eat cereal from Flax-Z-Snax that was almost the same as this. In fact I was afraid Sensato had just purchased FZS. Why? The last couple of orders I got from them via Netrition, were inedible they were so bad. But this stuff was excellent. The old Apple Cinnamon was terrible. My wife said the Strawberry is awesome too. So far so good. Probably about to place a big order!!! How's the Pecan version?????This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Apple Cinnamon
February 28, 2018Reviewer: Martin in Ohio* Bottom line: this is well worth trying.
When I read the other reviews, I hesitated because so many really HATED it; plus, it isn't cheap. But I took a chance on the Vanilla Almond.
I just placed another order -- what does that say?
If you are expecting oatmeal, this has a different texture. Not offensive, but kind of boring. I added walnuts to make it more interesting. It tastes kind of bland, but not bad. I also added heavy cream. Of course I'd rather have regular cereal, but too many carbs! For something that is low carb, and an alternative to eggs and sausage every day (whoever thought I'd get bored with that!), this works. Plus, it's high fiber: getting enough fiber is always a challenge with the low carb diet. I didn't experience any problems later, if you what I mean -- which can be the case with anything high fiber.
With my reorder, I included apple cinnamon, so we'll see what that's like next.This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Vanilla Almond

January 10, 2018Reviewer: Naudia in Texas* The struggle is real. Other flavors range from great to "meh". This one, however, is just plain wrong. Someone compared it to a jolly rancher and that is spot on. Love apple jolly ranchers...do not want apple jolly rancher cream of wheat. I was able to tone down that flavor considerably by adding almond milk, cinnamon, and maple (all of the above, not just one or two). I even added cocoa powder once and that also works. Once i get that apple candy taste down to a respectable level, this isn't so bad. I would simply prefer, and will continue to order, flavors which i don't need/want to mask.This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Apple Cinnamon
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulDecember 21, 2017Reviewer: Naudia in Texas* I already reviewed the strawberry so some of this will be rinse and repeat. Scoring a rounded-up 3.5 again, flavor is also mild, same awesomely grainy/gritty texture, still superbly sweet right out of the bag.
This one differs because of the pecans but I actually dont care for pecans. Wait! Put away the pitchforks and call off the posse, dont tase me bro, dont release the kracken. I was force-fed too many pecans as a child plus, I had to help shell those bad boys. Not fun! Anyhoo, I eat/love butter pecan flavored treats so I gave this one a go and Im digging it. As is the case with these hot cereals, I want more flavor, but I love the added crunch of the pecan pieces. And this one pairs well with a little extract (dealers choice), some low(er) carb brown sugar, maple, etc.This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Butter Pecan
December 21, 2017Reviewer: Naudia in Texas* Yall dont even wanna know how serious I am about my cream of wheat! I turn grits into cream of wheat ok fine, I get as close as I can. Point being, I was overjoyed to find this product and I gotta say Im still overjoyed now that Ive actually eaten it! Im technically scoring this a 3.5 but I rounded up. I wanna give it a 5 but heres the thing the strawberry flavor is extremely mild. Its there but just barely. Dont get happy with extracts, nuts, sugar free chocolate chips or whatever other fun things you bought from this website because youll drown what little strawberry flavor lurks within the depths of this cream of wheat-y goodness. For that, Id go with a different flavor, like the butter pecan Ill be reviewing momentarily. I totally intend to try them all!
Now onto the texture and sweetness (sweeeeeetness, Roll Bounce anyone??). Its grainy/gritty but I love that. Another reason Im loving this stuff is that its already sweet enough right out of the bag! That NEVER happens to me. I dont have a sweet tooth, I had one but it got married and had a bunch of babies and now all my teeth are sweet. So yes, I still add some sweetener, but my point is you will not have to. If I dont have to, you wont. This is good stuff!!This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Strawberrilicious
October 28, 2017Reviewer: Annette in New Jersey* Really bad after taste I haven't tried the strawberry one yet I will let you know.This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Vanilla Almond
October 25, 2017Reviewer: A customer in Connecticut* There should be a "0" rating available. This product is horrible! I think one of the worst things that I have ever tasted in my life. Totally disgusting! The after taste is bitter, too sweet and you can actually taste artificial flavor to it. I really wish that I read the reviews for this before I spent $7 on it. SO GROSS!This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Vanilla Almond
September 16, 2017Reviewer: Janice in Michigan* I get this for my husband who is diabetic. Oatmeal does not give him enough fiber so I add this to it. He loves it, and it gives him more fiber.
July 14, 2017Reviewer: Samantha in Maryland* The Apple cinnamon flavor is just awful. I usually read the reviews on here, but I ordered it from my phone and I wish I would have taken the time to read them. As everyone said it is way to artificially flavored. It actually burns my throat trying to eat it. I am a person that can always get down even terrible food, but not this. I tried adding some butter for flavor that didn't work. I tried adding some syrup and that didn't work. I finally tried to add in some Walden chocolate Syrup. Surprise! Nope, still couldn't mask the fake sweetness. I'd really like a hot cereal replacement. You can tell this would fill you up if you can get it down. The best route might be the plain and adding your own flavors. For the price though, I don't know if I'm willing to give it another shot.This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Apple Cinnamon
July 11, 2017Reviewer: Rachel in Connecticut* Terrible after taste. I even tried to add almond milk. Very disappointed. Very much like paste. Cannot eat this. Too bad as I had great hope for this.This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Apple Cinnamon
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulMay 23, 2017Reviewer: Stephen in Western Australia* Surprisingly good, It's not oatmeal so don't think it is the same. It's different, but a great substitute.
April 17, 2017Reviewer: Margaret in Oregon* I didn't add any sweetener, wanting to see what the natural flavor was like since it already has sucralose and other low-glycemic sweeteners in it.
It is SO oversweet, which makes it incredibly, distastefully bitter. It might be the apple flavor, but something is overpowering in the artificial sweeteners.
I gave two stars because it's still a healthy, low-carb alternative to oatmeal.
Next time I'll order plain and add my own level of sweetness.This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Apple Cinnamon
3 of 3 people found the following review helpfulJanuary 01, 2017Reviewer: Janet in California* I am on a LCHF diet and thereby can't have cereals of any kind, including hot cereal, which I love. This is a very good substitute. I make it very thick initially, let it sit for a minute after mixing in a "sweetener" of some kind to taste plus a few drops of LorAnn flavored oils (like Pecan, strawberry, apple [add cinnamon], Cream Cheese Frosting flavor, or whatever combo I can think of), and then top it off with the heaviest ZERO carb whipping cream I can find. OMG!! VERY satisfying!! It keeps me full and happy until the next meal, no problem.
BTW, Netrition sells LorAnn flavored oils, too, along with the little droppers. Do check out all the flavored oils, for they have thought of every flavor possible! Healthy, HIGH FIBER hot cereal for breakfast in a wide variety of DELICIOUS flavors is possible, too. I often toss some toasted, chopped nuts into my cereal, as well. What a treat! YUM! Get your daily fiber requirements in an easy, tasty, and quick way.
Another idea I had for using this cereal (plain flavor only) is as a meatloaf extender. It works well in a LCHF meatloaf recipe, gives a great "comfort food" a big boost of FIBER, and it tastes great in there!
April 05, 2016Reviewer: Chris in Missouri* We have tried all of the varieties of Sensato High Fiber Hot Cereal and really love it. It tastes great and is so easy to make. It is very satisfying and filling. It is great especially because it is an answer to our quest to eat healthier by eating low carb. It assists in helping my husband's blood sugar stay in control.This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Butter Pecan
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulApril 03, 2016Reviewer: Catherine in Texas* Outstanding alternative to oatmeal plus use as a breadcrumb component in dishes. Some may have hard time with the somewhat bitter taste of flax but I don't mind it. Best flavors are vanilla/almond, strawbellicious, and butter pecan, in that order. The plain is great as the filler in a meatloaf. No change to taste; just as if breadcrumbs were used. Husband knows no different.
March 19, 2016Reviewer: Barbara in Virginia* Love this stuff and so does my son, age 15. Great fiber and protein content, low carb and tastes great.
November 24, 2015Reviewer: Linda in Western Australia* This cereal is very good tasting. I can finally have a hot healthy cereal for breakfast without all the carbs. It keeps my glucose level stable, and sticks to my ribs, so I don't have big blood sugar swings. Thanks SensatoThis review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Butter Pecan
November 10, 2015Reviewer: Rhiannon in Massachusetts* Surprised at all the good reviews for this hot cereal. I bought the Butter Pecan, and the overall taste was that of "artificial sweetener." Just nasty, and fake tasting with a sand-like, gloopy unappetizing texture. I ended up throwing it away after two attempts to eat.
I don't consider myself picky. I eat artificially sweetened products regularly. I can deal with the "off" textures of other low-carb foods, like breads and crackers, even granolas. But, this was really "off."
I felt badly about throwing so much of this away, especially since the price was significant for a hot cereal, but I just KNEW I would never eat this again.This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Butter Pecan
4 of 4 people found the following review helpfulNovember 03, 2015Reviewer: Ann in Illinois* Oh I am seriously addicted to this, I get the plain one to which I add chia seeds and olive oil and some fresh cracked pepper. So I end up with a pilaf sort of affair and i eat mine in the evening instead of all the usual popcorn/chip type snacks and this has the wonderfull added benefit of keeping as regular as a Rolex watch.This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Plain
November 02, 2015Reviewer: Dana in Texas* I thought this product was GREAT! The texture MAY have been a bit grainier than oatmeal, but, to me, I found it to be just as appealing and the texture was creamy. I did not put in the whole amount of water called for and I put in the water and the cereal into the microwave for about 30 seconds. I added a little water, to get the consistency I liked and then added a little maple syrup, butter and a sprinkle of salt. I tried the vanilla almond. I will put this on our staples list.This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Vanilla Almond
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulSeptember 27, 2015Reviewer: Connie in North Carolina* This was horrible. EXTREMELY BITTER. Even though its pre-Sweetened, that does not help. Also, I used sucralose all the time, and it has never ever tasted bitter, so I have no idea how the sucralose in this product can be so horribly bitter. I am very used to earthy tasting, natural products, and I have even eaten straight flax seed meal before, so a slimy texture doesnt bother me, but THIS CEREAL.. half sawdust, half slime, ultra bitter, and a sweet taste that tastes NOTHING like splenda, but MUCH closer to old fashioned sweet and low... and actually, sweet and low has a better taste than whatever is in this cereal. When I first tasted it, I immediately thought of Stevia, because Stevia has a nasty bitter aftertaste. In any case, I can think of any way to doctor this up. I tried maple syrup, cream, salt, extra splenda.. didnt help. The bitter taste is like a punch in the face.. and trust me, I am NOT a picky eater .. I have never had a food before that starts out as TOO ARTIFICIALLY SWEET, followed by a ULTRA BITTER PUNCH IN THE FACE .... cant think of any way to doctor this concoction, and adding it to any other recipe would surely ruin it .... I have no choice but to throw this out. Complete waste of money.This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Vanilla Almond
September 23, 2015Reviewer: Kimberley in New Jersey* A great low carb alternative to regular oatmeal. I make mine with unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk rather than water. I also have added Sugar Free Syrup or Sugar Free Choc Chips to it for an extra kick of sweetness. The texture is more like ground Oatmeal and has a few pieces of Pecans in the Butter Pecan variety. This definitely fills that Hot Cereal craving and can be doctored up easily if you choose. I have tried Butter Pecan and Vanilla Almond, both are good choices.This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Butter Pecan
August 22, 2015Reviewer: Paulina in Missouri* I went on a roll and bought a whole bunch of LC granolas and cereals because I wanted to change it up for breakfast. I was an oatmeal eater before I went on keto. I loved mushy oatmeal with blueberries because it was good and it kept me regular, so I was really sad when I had to give that up.
First of all this is not JUST LIKE oatmeal, but it's pretty close, especially considering I loved mushy oatmeal. The Butter Pecan tastes really nice and I enjoyed 1 serving of this today with some blueberries and crushed pecans! It was very filling and I know that if I maybe want to skip lunch I should have 2 servings instead of 1 because 1 is pretty small. I will buy the other flavors because if they're as good as BP I know I will love them!

March 21, 2015Reviewer: Mary in Massachusetts* This cereal is very good. It has a wonderful flavor and will fill you up for hours. I added a tab of butter and light cream to thin it out some, now I am just addicted.This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Butter Pecan
March 01, 2015Reviewer: Kitty in Oklahoma* I have tried several of the different flavors and they were all delicious. My favorite is the Butter Pecan and Vanilla Almond. Quick and easy to prepare. Tastes great with just water or enhanced with a dab of butter, dash of salt and a little cream. I can eat it either way. Very filling and a great substitute for someone who loves oatmeal but needs to lower carbohydrates. I am ordering the plain to give it a try. I expect I will not be disappointed. Sensato is a very good product. Highly recommend to anyone who likes hot cereal.
February 22, 2015Reviewer: TIANA in Massachusetts* Great tasting, great macros, and filling! Never going to high-carb low-protein low-fiber oat meal or cereal ever again.
February 06, 2015Reviewer: Bruce in Illinois* If you love hot cereal in the morning or for a light meal or snack, this is fabulous! Love the taste, texture and low carb - high fiber content. Have only tried butter pecan but am ordering several others to try. I've been ordering this along with oatmeal and have been enjoying them for about a year. Also love the ease and convenience of Netrition.com :)This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Butter Pecan

December 06, 2014Reviewer: Nicki in Texas* I'm thrilled to have found this product. I've been doing the low carb thing for several weeks now and was missing my morning oatmeal. Yeah, yeah, it's great to get bacon and eggs every day, but I was actually getting tired of them. The Butter Pecan was highly recommended by the reviewers, so that's the one I tried first. It's very similar to cream of wheat. I use a half cup and add 3/4 cup water, then heat in the microwave for two minutes. Let stand for another couple of minutes, then sprinkle in some pecans, a tiny bit of Stevia brown sugar and about a tablespoon of cream. It's delicious and satisfying. I also ordered the Apple Cinnamon but I haven't tried it yet.This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Butter Pecan
November 12, 2014Reviewer: MELANIE in New York* odd texture, odd flavorThis review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Plain
October 24, 2014Reviewer: A customer in Nebraska* A nice, quick & easy option for diabetics or low-carbers who are sick of yogurt every day! If you are expecting oatmeal or cream-of-wheat, you'll be disappointed. Once I got over that & used to the idea that this is something different (texture-wise), I really loved it & I am ordering 2 more bags. Great with a pinch of Splenda Brown-Sugar. Awesome for cool fall mornings. Have only tried Vanilla Almond.
September 26, 2014Reviewer: Allan in Illinois* I've tried all of Sensato's hot cereals, except the plain. They're all tasty and provide a good amount of fiber. The preparation instructions say to add 1/2 cup hot water to 1/2 cup cereal, mix and let it sit for 2 minutes. I like to add 1/2 cup (or just a little bit more) tap water to 1/2 cup cereal and microwave it on high for 2 minutes. The texture seems better that way, at least to me, and it's hotter, too. Just use a bowl large enough so there's no boil over.
July 02, 2014Reviewer: A customer in Oregon* How could something so low-carb be so delicious?? I went low-carb about 2 months ago and was afraid I'd never be able enjoy cereal again, but this has changed my mind. I bought the vanilla almond flavor and made it as instructed. 1/2 cup (1 serving) with a little unsweetened almond milk was enough to fill me up, and I didn't even need to add sweetener because the flavor was just right.
June 22, 2014Reviewer: Denise in Florida* When i first began stirring the water into this cereal, I was a bit scared. It looked a little like gruel, moving in one big glob around the bowl. I was pleasantly surprised when I tried it though. It is very smooth, with just a little bit of texture to it, unlike anything I can think of to compare it with. It is a very good consistency. I tried the butter pecan. It is a little unusual, I think just because I am not used to that as a hot cereal flavor, but good. I will definitely want to try the other flavors, but I am undecided if I will buy more butter pecan. If it were the only flavor available I would definitely buy it again. I just think I would prefer a more traditional oatmeal/cream of wheat type flavor.
I added a little butter, 1 splenda, and a splash of cream- the way I would have oatmeal or cream of wheat.This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Butter Pecan
June 05, 2014Reviewer: LARRY in Texas* I have been on the Ketogenic diet for two months and really tired of eating only eggs for breakfast. I found this hot cereal and ordered the Butter Pecan and the Vanilla Almond. It was far better than I expected. While the Vanilla Almond is good, the Butter Pecan is great. The cereal is very filling provides a lot of fiber. I eat it about 7:00am each morning and I'm good until lunch. I have almost finished both bags and am now ordering two more for myself and two more for two of my coworkers. At last a low-carb breakfast with flavor.This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Butter Pecan

March 02, 2014Reviewer: Mary S in Maryland* Love these cereals! I am on a low carb eating plan and these cereals make a quick and nourishing breakfast on the go without blowing your carbs out of the water. My favorite is butter pecan...this is so good that you don't need to sweeten it...I just add a little melted butter and its delicious. I have also tried Vanilla Almond and its just as good!This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Butter Pecan

December 12, 2013Reviewer: Navneet in Maryland* I love this stuff! I miss oatmeal from my high-carb days, and even though the texture is more cream of wheat than oatmeal, it makes for a satisfying breakfast. It heats up quickly and is filling. I tried the Butter Pecan flavor first, which is good by itself, but try adding a touch of sugar free maple syrup and a handful of chopped pecans - wow! I ordered some more Butter Pecan and am going to try some of the other flavors, too.This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Butter Pecan

April 11, 2013Reviewer: Sari in New York* My husband and I are both on the Atkins diet plan. After a while you get a little tired of eating eggs for breakfast.

It's filling and delicious and helps keep things "moving" in the right direction.This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Vanilla Almond
April 07, 2013Reviewer: Veronica in Louisiana* I tried butter pecan and vanilla almond; but regardless of flavor, these are just cloyingly saccharine with an overpowering chemical taste that stays in your mouth all day. I wish I had ordered the plain, unsweetened cereal. Still, it's not a texture I had expected, so I'm not sure I'll even try the plain.

February 28, 2013Reviewer: Dennis in California* I tried eating this straight and it did not taste right. But I do use it three times a week by using it in my own formula.
1/4 cup oatmeal 1/4 cup sensato 1 scoop protein powder 1/2 teaspoon stevia 7 almonds 2 Brazil nuts 1/4 cup half and half
I make the oatmeal just like I was making a full serving and pour it into a cup with all the other Ingredients already mixed. Mix very well. Add the half and half.
This gives me almost the exact percentages I am looking for, 25%, 25% and 50% fat.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulFebruary 26, 2013Reviewer: Doug in Michigan* The Apple Cinnamon version of this is disappointing. It has a bitter aftertaste that is pretty unpleasant and the apple flavor is rather perfumy. It does smell better than it tastes.
I find that if I dump in a bunch of cinnamon first and use sugar free maple syrup to sweeten it, along with some heavy cream, it is somewhat palatable. Not good, but I can get it down.
Not sure yet if I will ever finish the full bag. As it is, about every two weeks I get the urge for hot cereal, so I make 1/2 cup of this and then my urge is gone. Just not in an entirely good way.This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Apple Cinnamon
February 08, 2013Reviewer: Julia in Wisconsin* I would absolutely give the butter pecan and vanilla almond flavors a 5 star review. I love these cereals. The plain is okay if you ant to try to make your own flavor, but for some reason mine seemed to have a bitter taste that the others flavors did not. The apple cinnamon flavor was gross. I couldn't eat it. I would highly recommend the vanilla almond and butter pecan flavors.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulJanuary 26, 2013Reviewer: A customer in Canada* I bought this product mainly because of all the positive reviews on here, so I thought I should come back and give my opinion, because I didn't like this product. I tried the apple cinnamon flavor and the butter pecan flavor.
First off, the product is very finely ground and has a completely uniform texture, like cream of wheat, but smaller - which I didn't like, but you can add nuts to give it a bit of crunch. Second, the product is quite sweet, which I found strange, since no sweeteners are listed on the ingredients - so I looked up "low glycemic monosacharides" on the internet and was not happy about what I found out, since I am following a low carb (not low glycemic) diet. Finally, the apple cinnamon flavor is just not nice - it has a weird fake-apple chemically taste, which in my books is just yuk, but ymmv. The butter pecan tasted a nicer and more natural to me.
Bottom line - apple cinnamon is going in the trash, butter pecan I will keep for when I feel like a fiber cereal and can splurge on the carbs, but I won't buy it again. I can get the same basic thing by combining ground flax and wheat bran with flavorings myself and I can avoid the "monosaccharides".
January 25, 2013Reviewer: Chelle in Nebraska* The butter pecan is awesome. One of my all time favorites. Throw a small pat of butter on it if you're not afraid of the calories.This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Butter Pecan

1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulJanuary 25, 2013Reviewer: Chelle in Nebraska* The apple cinnamon was just awful-- it tasted like the paste wormers for my horses smell. One of the worst things I've ever had, and very artificial. I wish they would have put dried real apples instead of apple "flavor."This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Apple Cinnamon
January 18, 2013Reviewer: Laura in Arkansas* I love this cereal! Hot cereal was one thing I missed on a low carb diet. This is good and filling! The apple cinnamon is my favorite.
December 16, 2012Reviewer: Nina in New York* I have been ordering Sensato for a long time now and I truly enjoy all of the flavors. Its my mid afternoon snack that takes the taste out of my mouth for other junk foods that would be sincerely bad for me.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulSeptember 27, 2012Reviewer: Susan D in Florida* I'm so sorry but I can't give a positive review on this product. It was awful!
Based on all the raving reviews on this, I had high hopes this would turn out to be a wonderful oatmeal or hot cereal substitute I'd love being on a low carb diet.
I purchased the plain and the Butter Pecan. Upon fixing both I tried without adding anything to them. The taste left a great deal to be desired so I added some Splenda thinking maybe if sweeter, it would be better. Both left a horrible after-taste.
Thinking it might just be me, I had my husband try and at first he said he thought it tasted pretty good until he was about 1/2 way through. THEN he made a face and said he could see what I was talking about.
Maybe it's the soy in it?
July 21, 2012Reviewer: Morgan D in West Virginia* The Butter Pecan version of this cereal is excellent! I found its sweetness to be just right, loved the flavor and smell, and enjoyed the the bits of pecan mixed in. As another reviewer reported, I would eat this even if I was not on a low carb diet.This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Butter Pecan
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulJuly 21, 2012Reviewer: Morgan D in West Virginia* The Apple Cinnamon version of this product is nasty! Strong chemical smell, taste and after taste. I smothered it with low carb maple syrup to eat it, as it cost too much to throw away.This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Apple Cinnamon
July 08, 2012Reviewer: Mary in Colorado* This hot cereal is very good. The texture is different, but those of us on low carb programs are used to that. I love all the flavors and eat this for breakfast year around. Give one of them a try. You will be glad you did.This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Apple Cinnamon
July 02, 2012Reviewer: K in Virginia* Bought them all and have only tried the Butter Pecan so far. I can see why it's called Sensato because it's sensational! Easy to prepare and easy to love.This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Butter Pecan

1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulMay 18, 2012Reviewer: Evelyn in North Carolina* This one was not for me. The taste is bitter and is like eating tree bark. It also have a long lingering aftertaste.
Being on a low carb regimen for the past year I really miss eating hot cereal like cream of wheat or oatmeal and was looking for something to fill that void. This was not it.
I bought the plain so I could add my own flavorings but no matter what I add it has a strong bitter, woodsy taste I just can't get past.
I've tired adding in all kinds of sweeteners including SF flavored syrups and SF jam, I've tried going with the bitter flavor and added in some instant coffee and cream. I've even tried mixing in some peanut butter and a few flavors of protein powder. Nothing I've tried has made this hot cereal palatable.
Well at least I gave it a try but after a week of multiple efforts to choke it down I give up. It's going in the trash as another failed experiment in my "hit or miss" hunt for yummy low carb food items.This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Plain
April 21, 2012Reviewer: Alan in Ohio* I love Sensato high fiber cereals. While I do enjoy eggs and low carb pancake mix, I would truly miss this product if it became unavailable. It's easy to make and tastes great and I really couldn't recommend it more highly. I have only tried the Butter Pecan and Vanilla Almond so look to other reviews for info on different flavors.
April 12, 2012Reviewer: Jenny in New York* This is very filling. Like a chewy cream of wheat. I had to add almost 1 cup of water to make it the texture I liked, which made a bigger bowl. I didn't really care for the artificial strawberry flavor, but it's not really that strong. I'll try the plain next time. If you like farina and ralston cereals, you should like this. It really fills you up for just a couple carbs.This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Strawberrilicious
April 08, 2012Reviewer: Kathleen in California* I've always enjoyed hot oatmeal for breakfast but when I switched to a low carb lifestyle, I really missed hot cereal. I've tried the butter pecan and vanilla almond with a splash of heavy cream and it really tastes great. I don't miss regular oatmeal at all anymore. I just ordered the plain and will try it with a few berries thrown in and bit of heavy cream. Should be great.
March 09, 2012Reviewer: Roxanne in Florida* I started eating the Sensato hot cereal in the morning and weight started dropping off. I'm convinced this stuff is helping. I love the Butter Pecan flavor by far the best and have tried all flavors (Apple Cinnamon, Strawberri-licious, Plain and Vanilla Almond). After preparing cereal, I top it with about a tablespoon of sugar free Aunt Jemima pancake syrup and swirl it in. Tastes wonderful!
January 12, 2012Reviewer: A customer in New Hampshire* Love this stuff. I add a little Stevia and vanilla protein powder to up the protein and sweetness.This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Vanilla Almond
January 11, 2012Reviewer: A customer in Florida* Nice low carb alternative to oatmeal. I mix mine with hot water and a dash of cream with a little Splenda to sweeten to taste. Looking forward to trying the other flavors.This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Butter Pecan
November 21, 2011Reviewer: A customer in Virginia* Yum! My husband and I tried the Sensato Butter-Pecan flavor this weekend and both agree it is delicious. It tastes like something I would eat even if I wasn't on a low-carb diet!
I liked the texture, which was similar to cream-of-wheat (I found the Dixie Diner hot cereal to be too loose and mushy). I had no problem with the sucralose flavor in the cereal. The Butter Pecan flavoring was just the right balance of sweet with a hint of salty. The tiny bits of *real pecans* mixed in added both extra texture and delightful bursts of pecan flavor. In addition, this cereal had none of the soy flavor that the Dixie Diner cereal had. The 1/2 cup serving was plenty filling and I was satisfied until lunch time.
Although I am disappointed there is no unsweetened/unflavored version of this to try (I bet it would be very tasty by itself), I can't wait to try the other flavors of this cereal.This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Butter Pecan
2 of 2 people found the following review helpfulNovember 07, 2011Reviewer: A customer in Colorado* I'm a recently diagnosed type 2 diabetic, and have switched to a low-carb lifestyle to maintain better control of my blood sugar. I've been eating oatmeal every morning for half my life and really miss it, so I ordered the butter pecan flavor to try out. Well, this cereal is close to in-edible, at least for me. First, the texture is difficult to get past - it is slimy from the flax and adding extra almond milk only makes it a looser slime. Second, like many others I find it too sweet and with a strong after taste from the sucralose. I wish they would like just leave it unsweetened so that it can be made savory if desired. Third, it is gritty and while it may compare to cream of wheat, it is nothing like oatmeal in taste or texture. On the bright side, it raised my BGL only marginally after a 1/2cup serving. Speaking of which, it is very filling and I find 1/4 cup is more than enough and hard enough to choke down. Adding plenty of almond slivers (for texture) and cream (masks taste somewhat) helps. I hate to waste expensive food, so I will somehow finish this bag but for a new buyer, I would only recommend this if you are familiar and ok with the slick texture from flax and gritty (but not toothy) texture from bran.This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Butter Pecan
July 23, 2011Reviewer: A customer in Pennsylvania* Butter pecan is the only one I've tried so far, but it's so good! Just one serving is very filling, but doesn't seem to satisfy my hunger for a long period of time, which is no big deal, it definitely won't stop me from eating this or purchasing it in the future. I use unsweetened coconut milk instead of water and mix in some almonds, it taste's great! I just ordered another bag of butter pecan and am going to try the vanilla almond, can't wait for them to get here!
June 21, 2011Reviewer: Dale in Western Australia* This is the most ideal cereal I have found.
I add blueberries and chopped walnuts or, apple pieces and chopped pecans sauteed in butter to the cereal.
Then plain yogurt is mixed with the cereal, fruit and nuts combination.
The yogurt nicely creams the cereal and adds the daily pro-biotics that work nicely with this high fiber cereal.
My preference is the "Butter Pecan" Sensato product.This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Butter Pecan
June 15, 2011Reviewer: Barbara in Florida* This stuff is fantastic. Low carb, low calorie with high fiber and protein. I use a little less water and add a splash of cream to it for a more creamy texture. Reminds me of Cream of Wheat. I've tried the vanilla almond as well. Strawberrilicious is my fav so far. This is a must for low carbers that want more breakfast options.This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Strawberrilicious
May 30, 2011Reviewer: Carol in Western Australia* Wow! Are you looking for a quick, easy and great tasting breakfast? I absolutely fell in love with the Butter Pecan cereal. It fills me up and keeps me satisfied and it tastes great! It reminds me of Red River or Zoom cereal. I feel so lost in the morning, since I ran out of it. I am ordering all the flavors to try now. I like that it has very low carbs and has so much fiber.This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Butter Pecan
May 25, 2011Reviewer: Donald in Western Australia* Not used to sweetened cereal and wish an unsweetened version was available, otherwise I really like the cereal. Unsweetened would have been rated a "5".
May 04, 2011Reviewer: Wanda in Tennessee* The very first time I tried this, I was thrown off by the texture. It can be a little gritty but adding extra water helps. By the second bowl, I was sold. This is a great product. I do not even have to add splenda. I tried the strawberry due to the reviews. I don't usually like strawberry flavored foods but this was great. I like to add a little cinnamon to mine. I am gonna try the butter pecan next. I love the fiber content.
May 01, 2011Reviewer: KAREN in Texas* I ate a packet of oatmeal every weekday for years and really missed it. I was about to give up and find one more way to choke down a breakfast egg when I tried this. OMG I am amazed. It tastes nice on its own. I read some of the other posts (thank you folks) and sprinkled cinnamon; that was good too. I can easily see how adding a bit of cream would give it yet another flavor change. I will try the pecan next. If any of you are familiar with CoCo Wheats, the smell is reminiscent of those, but the taste and texture are all their own. The texture reminds me of farina with ground wheat mixed in. I will definitely buy this again. It satisfies for the oatmeal that I really missed.This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Vanilla Almond
April 21, 2011Reviewer: Ana in Florida* Great alternative for the usual eggs for breakfast or protein shakes. I ordered the Cinnamon Apple but I will definitely order the other flavors to try. I used almond milk instead of water and it was great. I've been eating flax seed since I have been eating low carb so the texture didn't bother me one bit.This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Apple Cinnamon
February 18, 2011Reviewer: Dorian in Colorado* We have tried the strawberry and the Butter Pecan, and now we are ordering the Apple Cinnamon. I know it will be as good or better than the first 2 marvelous flavors. These cereals are almost solid FIBER!!! And with the Splenda they are sugar sweet and rich tasting. Put a fiber punch in your day from the very beginning, add some nuts or fruit if you wish, and your body will thank you. It's delicious and sooo healthy.

January 12, 2011Reviewer: Maria in California* I didn't like this cereal at first, but then I realized I wasn't putting near enough water. I add cacao powder and chia seeds into each serving as well for additional fiber and nutrition. I've had butter pecan and vanilla almond so far and I just purchased strawberrilicious. The texture takes a little getting use to but I really like it and eat it every morning and sometimes at night. I think it provides a nice break from eating so much protein as well.This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Butter Pecan

The rest of the world, not so much. It's too sweet, too fake-apple-flavored, and easily the worst-tasting low-carb product I've ever ordered off the Internet. I'm not one to throw food away, but this I threw out and my abiding fear is that some creature will find it in my garbage, eat it, and be consumed with a righteous rage against humanity that leads to a global war of extermination against all humankind.

October 22, 2010Reviewer: A customer in New York* I tried the strawberrilicious flavor which was pretty good, now I'm ordering the butter pecan. The texture is very similar to grits. For a low-carber that was previously addicted to oatmeal breakfasts, this is a great alternative!This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Strawberrilicious
September 30, 2010Reviewer: Rebecca in Florida* Ok I have tried all four flavors now. The first time I tried these I was put off by the artificial sugar after-taste but then I realized I didn't put enough hot water; it calls for 3/4 cup and I only put 1/2 cup; the extra 1/4 cup really made a difference! I appreciate the high fiber because on low carb I don't always get enough. Butter Pecan is my favorite, Vanilla Almond comes in as a close second and Strawberrilicious is third... Apple Cinnamon is pretty good but I probably won't order that one again, it just doesn't measure up to the other three. I still wish they would make some that is just plain so I could add my own flavors or just eat it plain.
September 17, 2010Reviewer: M. E. in Texas* I have been eating low carb for 1 1/2 years. I have lost 50lbs. One of the foods I have greatly missed is cereal. I recently ordered Sensato's High-Fiber hot cereal with Apple Cinnamon flavors. I was thrilled with the flavor. I eat it with fresh strawberry's and a little cream. I have purchased many "low carb" products. Some of which I have been disappointed with. Many I have tolerated. But this product I have can truly say "I LOVE". Happy Low Carbing to EveryoneThis review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Apple Cinnamon
August 22, 2010Reviewer: Deborah in Oregon* Carb, fiber, and protein amounts are excellent but it is way too sweet! I had to add 1/3 cup of unsweetened shredded coconut and 1 Tbsp of cocoa powder to cut the sweetness. I prefer being able to control the sweetness of hot cereal. Otherwise, the flavor is fantastic!This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Vanilla Almond
August 18, 2010Reviewer: Rebecca in Florida* This is very good. The artificial sweet is not as strong in the strawberry as it is in the pecan.

I was hoping that maybe there was a plain flavor so I could add my own flavors... including a sweetener I am accustom tooThis review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Butter Pecan
July 19, 2010Reviewer: Rema in Pennsylvania* I have this every morning. It is so low in carbs that I use l Cup of cereal and sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts over it. A huge 3 carb breakfast. Also, a touch of cream makes this heavenly! Fills me up, and I am full for hours. Thanks to Netrition finding out about the "other Hot Flax Cereal" which stated l carb. per serving and was actually 10 carbs.They suggested I try this. Thanks Netrition! Buy it, you won't be disappointed. The only flavor I DO NOT LIKE is Apple Cinnamon.This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Strawberrilicious

I have tried many ways to restore this without success. This Wonderful tasting hot cereal has restored my balance in this department. I would recommend this cereal on taste alone, but the low carb and fiber are a bonus.This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Butter Pecan

They are low calorie, low carbohydrate and sweet enough so I didn't have to add any additional sweetener. I ordered the vanilla almond to try today. A Happy customer in Maine
February 03, 2010Reviewer: Carolyn in New Jersey* I love both the Vanilla Almond and Butter Pecan. The flavor is subtle to me with just the right amount of sweetness.

January 11, 2010Reviewer: merinna in California* I am on a very low carb diet and am always looking for additional ways to get extra fiber. I must say I am so happy with the Sensato cereal. This awesome product is a GOD send! It is low carb, yummy, very filling and high in fiber! My favorite flavors are the butter pecan and the vanilla almond. To make it a little higher in fiber and protein I add the Nutiva Hemp Protein + Fiber. It makes the cereal a little darker in color but it is delicious together! I am so glad to find these products as I was getting tired of protein shakes alone for breakfast! Netrition also has the best price on both of these products so that is also a great plus!

This fits the bill perfectly and is so filling I can't even eat a whole serving! A half of a serving fills me right up. I do add a bit of half and half for a creamier texture but it's delicious either way. I just ordered the three other flavors and if they are as yummy as the Butter Pecan, I'll be one happy girl! Highly recommended!This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Butter Pecan
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulOctober 14, 2009Reviewer: William in Michigan* Yum. This is the best low carb cereal I have ever had. It should be called 'Bran Muffin Hot Cereal' because that is what it tastes like. I mix 1/4 cup of cereal with 3/8 cup of water and then microwave until hot. 1/4 cup is enough because the cereal is very filling. It's already sweetened so it may not need that much more sweetening. Good with fresh or frozen berries or fruit, raisins, brown sugar sweetener and with vanilla Atkins' Shake. Enjoy!
October 08, 2009Reviewer: Zee in Illinois* FANTASTIC !!!! Best Tasting and Ingredients. VERY Satisfying meal! I ordered all flavors now! Eating 2 of those a day is fantastic for my metabolism! WOW!! Better than Dixie Diners low carb cereal!!! Although , Dixie Diner makes all other products A+++! Try this Cereal ! U will love it and your body will thank you! PERFECT for Low calorie dieters!!

July 07, 2009Reviewer: Theresa in Michigan* This hot cereal is delicious and filling and perfect for the low carb lifestyle. I am thrilled with finally finding great tasting, low carb, high fiber cereal. I originally ordered the butter pecan and strawberrilicious and love them both. They are excellent with no added ingredients, but I added a few more pecans and about a TBS of DaVinci syrup to the butter pecan. I just ordered the apple cinnamon and vanilla almond and will review those later. I sure hope the carb and fiber counts are right, but so far this cereal has not stalled my weight loss.
6 of 6 people found the following review helpfulJune 12, 2009Reviewer: Carrie in Tennessee* Hallelujah! After following a low-carb lifestyle for awhile, a lot of people will tell you... breakfast is challenging sometimes. After awhile, there is only so many ways you can cook an egg--you know? This cereal is my answer. I love everything about it-- it's a hot, yummy, comfort food that satisfies just the way that oatmeal or cream of wheat would, and the flavors are great! The best part for me, though, is all that fabulous fiber. I sometimes struggle with digestion issues on the Atkins diet, but adding in just a few extra veggies and a bowl of this cereal every morning? Bye-bye tummy troubles! My favorite is the strawberry, because it has just enough natural sweetness that I rarely feel the need for a pack of splenda or anything extra. My one bit of advice-- the flax seed texture takes a little getting used to, but experiment with the amount of water you add to find the texture that you most enjoy. (Just like oatmeal--people have different tastes/ideas about consistency? This cereal is no different.) Love it, love it, love it!!!This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Strawberrilicious
June 11, 2009Reviewer: A customer in California* The flavor was light and subtle and not overwhelmingly sweet. It was delicious and full of fiber and proteins. It's definitely a breakfast/quick snack winner. I am looking forward to trying other flavors as well.This review is specific to High Fiber Hot Cereal, Vanilla Almond
June 04, 2009Reviewer: Diane in Pennsylvania* I tried the apple cinnamon first. You just can't go wrong with the nutritional info of this product; it's lower in calories (and carbs of course) than oatmeal per 1/2 cup serving (oatmeal gets so boring after a while), & it has 10 grams of fiber which will help to keep you full. I immediately ordered the other 3 flavors and can't wait to try them. I'm sure they will be just as good! Two thumbs up to Sensato!

Ron Howard to Direct Stephen King's "The Dark Tower" Movie
Posted: April 30th, 2010 by
WorstPreviews.com Staff
A few months ago JJ Abrams revealed that he will not be moving forward with a film based on Stephen King's "The Dark Tower" book series. He returned the rights back to the author, and now Ron Howard, Brian Grazer and Akiva Goldsman have picked them up.
The three are in discussions on a scenario that would see an adaptation begin as a movie, to be written by Goldsman (A Beautiful Mind, I Robot) and directed by Howard (The Da Vinci Code), that would lead to a TV series produced by Imagine's small-screen division.
"The Dark Tower" encompasses not just a narrative about the Man in Black and Roland, the Gunslinger, that spans seven lengthy books (and one short story), but also the entire universe of King's fiction. Characters from his other novels flit in and out of "Tower" in minor and major ways.

i liked I robot s this could be good. never got into the Dark Tower comics, any good?
on April 30th, 2010 at 5:47:20 AM
Hugh Jackman for Roland. FTW! Ever since I read the book I thought he looked perfect for the part. This may be because I think that Jackman looks a bit like Clint Eastwood in the Dollars Trilogy. Yet he would look awesome as the lone gunslinger.
on April 30th, 2010 at 5:51:19 AM
@encore - Its a series of novels not comic books. The story is a dark fantasy. Might not be for everyone but still it has the classic Stephen King touch.
on April 30th, 2010 at 5:59:02 AM
"Characters from his other novels flit in and out of "Tower" in minor and major ways."
This part kinda sounds like a bad idea.
@darkknight, hey what about me? I think I look kinda like Eastwood.
on April 30th, 2010 at 6:05:04 AM
That Ginger head bastard is gonna direct it?
on April 30th, 2010 at 6:16:02 AM
darkknight- you're wrong. i know they've been advertised on Marvel.com, not to mention i saw them myself. don't mean to be rude sorry if it seems that way but you are half-right the comics are based on the novels.
on April 30th, 2010 at 6:34:19 AM
Ron Howard is directing? Oh brother. When he's not making mediocre Oscar-bait, he's putting out sh*tty "thrillers" like The Da Vinci Code and The Missing. And let us not forget that Akiva Goldsman was the dumbass who wrote the script for Batman & Robin.
on April 30th, 2010 at 6:47:37 AM
hey as long as there is no child violence or cussing right?
on April 30th, 2010 at 7:07:29 AM
Wow, you *still* think that's the reason I thought Kick-Ass sucked? Do I have to, like, spell this out for you, or does your religious devotion to the film impede your comprehension skills?
on April 30th, 2010 at 8:25:52 AM
I've been wating for this one. I hope Howards does this right, this maybe big!
on April 30th, 2010 at 8:52:43 AM
Finally some progress! I was beginning to think this would never happen.
@Sam: Howard's missed a few lately but is typically one of the better directors in Hwood today (imo). Don't forget, he's just coming off his 4th Oscar nom for Frost/Nixon which was an excellent film. I always thought the Da Vinci and Angel and Demons material would be difficult to adapt to screen, so I didn't blame him much when the final product somewhat missed the mark. I don't know if you've read any of the DT novels, but its not your usual western or fantasy bullsh*t. Its going to require a director that can operate on a larger scale without letting the film run away on him if you know what I mean. The lead character goes through some pretty tough challenges and eventually deals with a lot of mental and emotional scarring that you usually don't see in the genre. It took King almost 30 years to complete the saga, so it wont be an easy project to tackle. Frankly, with Grazer's involvment I think its a brilliant idea to use the film (The Gunslinger) to set up a TV show that can deal with the wealth of material that follows. If they get HBO or ABC to produce the show, this could work out very well!
on April 30th, 2010 at 9:19:22 AM
Don't know if anyone's an fan of The Mist (which I'm in love with), but the painting Thomas Jane's character is working on at the beginning of the film is what eventually becomes the promotional artwork for King's The Gunslinger novel. I always liked that depiction of Roland.
@DK1985: Jackman could have worked for Roland before he made Austalia and Wolverine. Now I don't want him anywhere near this project. Roland should have Jackman's look, so why not get Olyphant, Hamm, Hartlett (if he can grow some stubble), or Jane for the part. I would say Matthew Fox but I dont know if his nice guy voice would fit very well. This is also a role that can be played by a none American. It may have a western look to it, but since its on another planet/alternate dimension the character doesn't have to have a country accent. I'm sure the Brits and Aussies will be all over this like flies on sh*t, but please NO BALE!!!
on April 30th, 2010 at 9:37:24 AM
I was much more hopeful for this when it was going to be JJ Abrams.
on April 30th, 2010 at 10:29:52 AM
i've been a huge fan of this site a while back..
this is my first post but before that i would like to thank all of you guys with everything that you share here.. cheers!
@SACdaddy, i loved "the mist" it one of my fav films. as for the dark tower, i hope they treat it like how Peter Jackson did for the LOTR. he put so much time and effort to create a masterpiece

on April 30th, 2010 at 11:01:14 AM
Great. It's " Maximum Overdrive " all over again .... the horror ... oh, the horror ...
on April 30th, 2010 at 11:29:03 AM
'The Mist' was awesome, it would be nice if they gave Darabon the Dark Tower, or every Stephen King film adaptation haha.
on April 30th, 2010 at 11:35:17 AM
Lol! Maximum Overdrive, I actually liked that when I was a kid. I always got a little scared around electric carving knives after that movie.
@Buddz: Welcome to the message board. While I agree that they should put a lot of time and effort into this film(s), I'm a little torn on them creating some kind of massive trilogy before they hit TV. I would probably rather see Howard just do a great film adaptation of The Gunslinger and maybe The Drawing of Three because that establishes most of your main characters for the series. These books will require some great scale and imagination on Howard's part as he must establish Roland's strange world, his past and upbringing, and his mission to find the Man in Black and the Dark Tower. The Drawing of Three will require whoever directs it to deal with alternate dimensions, possession, racisim, drug addition, gangsters, and monsters, so it will require a serious effort also. But I could see the rest being played out of TV over several years. This isn't a small venture by any means.
on April 30th, 2010 at 11:40:00 AM
@tcu: Darabount knocked that film out the park, and he didn't cheapen the film by giving it the typical Hwood ending. I still think that's one of the best horror films ever made. I need to look up his next project.
on April 30th, 2010 at 11:49:59 AM
SAM>>>> Personally, I think you not liking ANYTHING is pretty cool. Makes you stand out you know? Makes you, at least in my eyes, appear very intellectual and above most of, if not all, of the people on here. Nothing and no one has done anything that has impressed you thus far, and I for one, feel that is because someone with your impecable level of class and good taste, is not easily satisfied! Good for you for having some culture!
on April 30th, 2010 at 11:53:06 AM
Yeah I heard a lot of people complain about the ending, but typical Hollywood ending would have sucked and audiences may have been even more pissed by the book's ending, which is ambiguous and doesn't resolve anything. Not complaining, but a lot of people would've hated that.
I believe he's trying to do Farenheit 451 next, but that movie has been in development for quite some time, so we'll see where that goes. I think he also has "The Long Walk" on his list, another King classic he can put on the big screen.

Long time fan of site and first post.
About time!
@Rodan It was an excellent idea in the books, this was Kings life work.
My favorite book is the Talisman, a project that never left the ground film wise.
This could be very good or very bad
on April 30th, 2010 at 12:45:59 PM
I'd love to see a film version of The Talisman, and it was actually being shopped for a big budget film a while back. Someone on youtube filmed the opening scene of the book.
on April 30th, 2010 at 12:51:00 PM
BIG, BIG fan of The Dark Tower series, and I've got to say...Ron Howard? I really don't think that's the right decision for this series of books.
on April 30th, 2010 at 12:52:11 PM
And as far as playing Roland.....Viggo Mortenson would be perfect! I think Josh Brolin would be a good choice too.
on April 30th, 2010 at 1:09:52 PM
@ SAC; I guess you have more faith in the man than I do. Besides maybe Apollo 13, I have never seen a Ron Howard movie that truly impressed me. The Missing was a heavy-handed, corny remake of The Searchers, Cinderella Man was a schmaltzy audience picture that put nearly everything (plot, character development, period insight) on the back-burner to make the audience "feel good" about its protagonist, the two Dan Brown adaptations were completely tedious exercises in club-footed storytelling despite the source novels written in a way that was so nakedly anticipating film adaptations (not sure how you thought they would be "difficult" to adapt), Frost/Nixon was irritatingly devoid of any sort of historical or narrative honesty to wrench a simplistic "Good vs. Evil" liberal fantasy out of what was - at best - a footnote in American history, and A Beautiful Mind is one of the worst films that ever won the Academy Award for Best Picture. I still cringe when I'm reminded that he beat Peter Jackson, Ridley Scott, Robert Altman and David Lynch that year for Best Director.
These films aren't necessarily *awful*, but they are painfully mediocre. There are dozens of filmmakers that "can operate on a larger scale without letting the film run away on him" much more skillfully than Howard, and I guarantee whatever edginess were in those novels (I've never read them) will be undercut by his directorial style.
But he might surprise me, who knows?
@ lawman: Might want to think before you make broad, sweeping generalizations like that. Makes you seem arrogant AND ignorant. As SACdaddy can attest to, I am an unapologetic fan of The Hurt Locker, and have expressed my admiration for plenty of other films in the past on this site. Not trying to be "intellectual" or "above everyone," but if my more discerning taste in film and my refusal to worship at the feet of the internet hype machine makes me "cool" in your eyes, I won't stop you.
on April 30th, 2010 at 1:16:06 PM
@jatilq, oh I misread the article. I thought the filmmakers were making that change. If King is the one who did it, then that makes more sense.
on April 30th, 2010 at 1:29:41 PM
Sam>>>> It does make you cool. One day, I too wish to be half the film guru you are. God bless you sir! You are a god among men. Honestly, you just come off pompous! But whatever, your not worth any further energy.
SAC>>> Thought the mist (movie) wasnt that bad. The monsters looked f*cking aweful but it was cool. The short story was really good though. As a King fan, I am a bit biased though. Now whoever brought up "The long walk" AWESOME! I would LOVE for someone to do that. But do it well of course!
on April 30th, 2010 at 1:36:07 PM
I think Josh Brolin is officially going to destroy his Western cred with Jonah Hex. Even though I know this isn't "technically" a Western, it's got the genre along with 10 others haha.
I heard Christian Bale was on their short list a while back, he'd be a good pick, he has the Western cred from 3:10 to Yuma also.
I guess one of the good things you can say about Howard and his crew is that they are very good casters. So I hope they don't screw that aspect for this film.
on April 30th, 2010 at 1:59:16 PM
Not too bad of a choice, let's see where it goes.
@sac: The Mist was amazing. The book and movie were both very well made. The ending to the movie is also one of the best I have seen in recent years.
@encore: All seven of the Dark Tower novels were already written when the graphic novels came to be. They were made mostly just to bring in a wider audience since a lot of people have not heard of the Dark Tower series.
on April 30th, 2010 at 2:05:49 PM
good! make a film of this sh*t because I can't finish reading through it all.
I did read excerpts from the ending where they're hopping into the realities of the different Stephen King stories. Very cool. Looking forward to someone finally making this series make sense to me. The comic book hit like a wet noodle.
on April 30th, 2010 at 2:45:16 PM
i thought the dark tower was comic book?
on April 30th, 2010 at 3:12:56 PM
@Sam - sorry Bud... but I liked:
Frost/Nixon (a story worth telling/re-living).
Both DaVinci's I've watched (best friend's wife's pick on her movie night).
Backdraft (been forever since I've seen it though).
I even liked Cocoon (for what it was, in it's time).
No, I have no prob. with Howard's work.
on April 30th, 2010 at 3:13:58 PM
@skatemaster62: nope, the novels were written from 1982 until now since Stephen King is currently writing an eighth book in the series called The Wind Through The Keyhole. The graphic novels (comics) were made from 2007 to 2009 and served as prequels to the novels.
on April 30th, 2010 at 3:15:26 PM
@Rodan - u think Josey would have a problem with that picture at the top of this thread?
'You gonna pull them pistols, or whistle Dixie?!'
@Sam - sh*t... and I forgot:
A Beautiful Mind and Cinderella Man. To be honest... I never get tired of those movies.
You're with a hate-on (not as good as a hard-on) for most things on here lately. You ridin' 'The Red Pony'?
on April 30th, 2010 at 3:53:20 PM
the dark tower is my favorite series of stories ever...i have been waiting for this to happen...a transition into a tv series is a great idea...
on April 30th, 2010 at 4:02:16 PM
on April 30th, 2010 at 4:24:21 PM
@skatemaster62: any time man.
on April 30th, 2010 at 4:59:41 PM
I like Jackman or Viggo for Roland but I wish Eastwood was still young enough to pull it off.
Eddie is a drug addict so I like Jim Caviezel or Guy Pierce for that role.
Susannah could be anyone from Halle Berry to Zoe Saldana...
Jake the kid could be anyone for all I care.
And Oy should be Gary Coleman...
on April 30th, 2010 at 5:08:12 PM
@Sofa - lol... those Coleman jokes never get tiring at this end my friend!
on April 30th, 2010 at 5:36:15 PM

Oy shall live!
on April 30th, 2010 at 7:31:58 PM
Ugh..and Brian Grazer too...I've officially lost all faith in this becoming a movie I'd actually want to see.
WHY WHY did JJ Abrams have to back out Why!!!!!!
on May 2nd, 2010 at 10:32:25 AM
I'm incapable of watching Million Dollar Baby unless I can follow it up immediately with Cinderella Man to pull me out of my sadness stupor.
on May 2nd, 2010 at 1:10:39 PM
I still think Sam Raimi would have been the perfect director for this.
Or alternately a group of horror directors taking on film each including Sam Raimi, Peter Jackson, David Cronenberg, John Carpenter and Niel Marshall.
As for Ron Howard, I liked Willow and a few of his other 80's films in their cheesy ways but I'm definitely undecided as to whether this is a good idea or not.
Finally encore could you please explain your I, Robot comment because I fail to see the connection between projects.
on May 2nd, 2010 at 5:45:24 PM
Frank Darabont should be directing this.

DOE releases Defense-Related Uranium Mines Report to Congress:
"Based on a review of AEC records and available data from numerous agencies, there are 4,225 mines that provided uranium ore to the U.S. government for defense-related purposes between 1947 and 1970."
"Different agencies have made varying levels of progress on reclamation and remediation of abandoned mines in the United States; however, the cleanup status of only 15 percent of defense]related uranium mines could be confirmed."
"Radon inhalation was the largest contributor to the risk estimates for all receptors, followed by exposure to external gamma radiation. Risks from other pathways (e.g., ingestion of plants, meat, milk, and soil) are small compared to the radon and external gamma radiation pathways. Of the five receptors evaluated, the risk estimates for the onsite resident and reclamation worker exceeded 10-4, which is the upper end of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) acceptable range of 10-6 to 10-4 for an incremental lifetime cancer risk. EPA's risk range was used for comparison in this risk evaluation. For the onsite resident, with estimated risks up to 10-1, risks would result primarily from the inhalation of radon that emanates from the wasterock pile or foundation material and diffuses into the house."

"Aerial radiological surveys of forty-one geographical areas in the Navajo Nation were conducted during the period of October 1994 through October 1999. [...] The aerial survey and subsequent processing characterized the overall radioactivity levels and excess bismuth-214 activity (indicator of uranium ore deposits and/or uranium mines) within the surveyed areas. A total of 772,000 aerial gamma spectra and associated position parameters were obtained and analyzed during the multi-year operation. The survey determined that only 15 square miles (39 square kilometers) of the 1,144 square miles (2,963 square kilometers) surveyed (approximately 1.3 %) had excess bismuth indications above the minimum reportable activity, thus reducing the area requiring further investigation by a nominal factor of 76."Source: An Aerial Radiological Survey of Abandoned Uranium Mines in the Navajo Nation, by T.

Smoke from a wildfire in Idaho that burned mining sites with traces of uranium and thorium contained elevated levels of radiation, but none that posed a risk to human health, state officials said on Friday (Oct 5).
The state Department of Environmental Quality last month took air samples in North Fork, a town in the burn zone in east-central Idaho, after the so-called Mustang Complex fire swept through a former uranium mine and two abandoned gold mines.
Health officials said then they believed risks to people's health was low, and the latest findings back up that assessment. Residents in the area had expressed worries about the smoke.
An analysis of air samples in North Fork showed residents would have been exposed to 0.5 millirems [5 µSv] of radiation in a 30-day period. Even without a danger from radioactivity, smoke from the blaze has posed a danger to residents, especially the young and the elderly, because it carries fine soot particles that can worsen existing respiratory or cardiovascular ailments.

"This report examines the existing and proposed modification of a waste containment structure at the DOE Niagara Falls Storage Site (NFSS) in Lewiston, NY, used since 1949 to store highly radioactive residues separated during the processing of very rich uranium ores from the former Belgian Congo (now Zaire). The high-level residues remaining after the removal of uranium have been stored at the former Lake Ontario Ordnance Works (LOOW) since 1949 (prior to 1949, the residues were returned to the African Metals Corporation of Belgium). The present area of the LOOW, reduced in size, is now known as the NFSS. The high-level residues, along with other, less radioactive residues and wastes, are presently stored at NFSS, buried under an interim cap to prevent influx of moisture from precipitation and outflux of radon gas."> View NFSS page at Tonawanda Nuclear Site Info

[...] The Fernald Feed Materials Production Center functioned as a uranium processing facility from 1951 to 1989, and potential health effects among residents living near this plant were investigated via the Fernald Medical Monitoring Program (FMMP). [...]Wagner SE, Burch JB, Bottai M, et al.: Uranium exposures in a community near a uranium processing facility: Relationship with hypertension and hematologic markers, in: Environmental Research Vol. 110, Iss. 8, Nov. 2010, p. 786-797, (Oct. 1, 2010 ahead of print)
CONCLUSIONS: Results from this investigation suggest that residents in the vicinity of the Fernald plant with elevated exposure to uranium primarily via inhalation exhibited decreases in white blood cell counts, and small, though statistically significant, gender-specific alterations in systolic blood pressure at entry into the FMMP.

It is also estimated that Silos 1 and 2 contain more than 28 t of uranium; other significant metals include more than 118 t of barium, 830 t of lead, and 2.6 t of arsenic (t = metric ton).
Air samples collected in 1987 from the unfilled, upper portions of Silos 1 and 2 showed maximum radon concentrations of 30 million pCi/l [1.11 billion Bq/m3], that is approx. 60 million times background. External radiation monitoring on top of the silo domes showed exposure rates in excess of 200 mrem/h [2 mSv/h], that is approx. 20,000 times background. The silo contents was later covered with a bentonite clay layer to reduce radon emanation and gamma radiation.
Based on the concentrations of Ra-226, the original ore grade of the uranium ore processed can be estimated at approx. 54% U (Silo 1) and 37% U (Silo 2). The total amount of uranium contained in the original ore processed can be estimated at 11,080 t U (t = metric ton).

Work to cleanup the Riley Pass abandoned uranium mines in the North Cave Hills of South Dakota continues this summer:
Dan Seifert, assistant forest geologist, for the Custer National Forest said a contractor will be hired to clean up one of about 12 bluffs this summer because no one has claimed responsibility for them.
The cleanup consists of gathering contaminated mine waste including arsenic and uranium, and putting it on the bluff and covering it with sediment and top soil. The area will then be reseeded, Seifert said.
The Forest Service will pay for this portion of the clean up, Seifert said. A cost estimate for this summer's cleanup is not available, however last year's project of cleaning up two other bluffs cost $660,000 and dam repair work along with the removal of sediment from retention ponds cost $160,000, he said. The total cost of the Tronox portion of the reclamation project is estimated at $70 million. (The Dickinson Press June 25, 2011)

"On June 21, 2000, staff from the Division of Fuel Cycle Safety and Safeguards (FCSS) met with state of Washington personnel to determine if the Sherwood tailings embankment located near Spokane, Washington, should be classified as a dam under the Federal Guidelines for Dam Safety. Contractors from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) accompanied FCSS staff. If the structure meets the Federal definition for a dam, procedures for license termination and costs for long-term surveillance and monitoring may be affected.
Embankment design information was reviewed, and questions related to dam stability, liquefaction, and surface disruption from seismic events were discussed. A preliminary determination of the dam classification will be made, and the FERC report will identify additional information that may be required for the final assessment."
