Read the Book, Maybe Help Solve A Problem by kentmom Pros: Very digestible book about some serious social/societal problems - for high school readers and up!
Cons: None. Really. How Does It Feel To Be A Problem? Being Young and Arab in America is probably the best book I'll read this year. While the writing itself isn't stellar, the book's construction is, and the author's research (primarily personal interviews) ...

Twilight is the worst film of 2008! (Or 2006, or 2007...) by chelledun Pros: Washington is pretty. At times, Twilight is so bad its good.
Cons: But generally it's just really bad. I'll admit that I read all four of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight novels, albeit with a hefty dose of self-loathing. Despite the teen-targeted romance and bland writing style, I thought the series had potential for a decent set of films in the vein of Harry ...

Flagship of all Electronic Kits by drummr Pros: Great Drum Sounds!!!, good documentation, good feel, truly a professional product.
Cons: EXPENSIVE!!! Drum module has a really lousy display and basic operation for the price. The TD-20 is actually my second V-Drums kit.

The True Story of THE TIMES OF HARVEY MILK by xxxxer Pros: A fascinating story and a very effective depiction of it
Cons: The film is definitely slanted towards homosexual viewpoints While most documentary films embrace a view that examines a person more or less from a biographical point of view, Robert Epstein and Richard Schiechen's documentary about the first openly gay elected official in the United States takes a somewhat ...

A Stunning Debut Novel by embarrassed Pros: Emotional, engaging romance.

Sleeping with the fishes by trailhound Pros: Acting wasn't bad.
Cons: Plot didn't ring true for me. Coincidences upon coincidences. They seemed like the ''prefect couple''. They were both nice looking, had a beautiful beachfront home, and he made lots of money while she took care of the home and worked just part-time. Ooops, but wait. Not all the cans in the kitchen cabinet ...

Balogh's _The Ideal Wife_ is a waste of time - can an impulsive marriage survive? by telynor Pros: Some of the descriptions are nice, and Miles is certainly a hunk.
Cons: Not one of Balogh's better efforts. Every now and then I read a romance novel to give some relief from the serious subjects that I read. But this time, when I picked up a book by Mary Balogh -- an author that I usually respect and like -- I found myself rather disappointed. First ...

Twilight: On Picking the Wrong Things to Change by pippadaisy Pros: excellent soundtrack, good casting, realistic teen angst and decent special effects for budget
Cons: plot overly compressed, a few extra-cheesy additions How do you cram a 500-page young-adult novel that has had everyone from teens to middle-aged women declaring themselves in love with either a teen vampire or a teen werewolf into a two-hour movie and make it perfect?

Does Sasha Fierce Turn Out To Be A Sasha Farce? by speeddemon531 Pros: There are a handful of good songs to be found here.
Cons: Those good songs are almost buried under mediocre material and a dumb concept. I want to like Beyonce. Really I do. She's fantastic looking. She has a fantastic voice. However, over the course of four Destiny's Child albums and now three solo albums, she's mostly struck me as the musical equivalent of a ton of pretty wrapping paper ...
