Plain and simple: boring and not many scares. Skip it! by rmurray847 Pros: The initial concept was promising.
Cons: Utterly fails to deliver on that promise. I saw PULSE (the “unrated” version) just 5 days ago, and I feel even now that I can hardly remember half of what happened in the film…so generic and uninteresting did it turn out to be. The film has a promising premise. ...

Chadwick's _A Place Beyond Courage:_ an honourable man caught up in a war by telynor Pros: Terrific storytelling, strong characters, and a legend gets a new meaning.
Cons: Whew. Not a one! After reading The Greatest Knight and The Scarlet Lion, Elizabeth Chadwick's two recent novels about that medieval hero, William Marshal, I was very curious to find out more about his parents, especially his father, John Marshal, who is ...

Deep and Dark and Dangerous - A mother and child review-nion, part XIV by millinocket Pros: Terrific ghost story for budding horror/thriller novel readers
Cons: One annoying and obvious plot device, will likely be too scary for some younger readers I'm so proud! Mininocket has chosen and devoured her very first Junior Bloody Knife Novel*. Not a silly scary little kid book, but a real ghost story with quite a few real chills. I'm not ready for her to start on Stephen King, but she ...

Re-establishing "Star Trek:Deep Space Nine" Might Be Obvious,But It's Enjoyable In "Avatar, Book Two!" by wlswarts Pros: Interesting characters, Resolution, Moments of concept
Cons: Very simplified plot, Somewhat simplified writing With "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" rebooting with the "Avatar" books, I think ultimately what I feel most bothered by is the title. The books work as a two-part season premiere or pilot to the novel series for the continuing adventures of "Star Trek: ...

The Buzz About Bombadil by Bounty628 Pros: The impressive folk rock undertones are clearly evident.
Cons: Psychedelic rock twangs at time seem out of place. We have all done some pretty crazy things in college and some of us have even tried to get a band off the ground. Though often times starting a band usually is the result more of excessive Keystone Lights rather than any musical talent, it is always ...

The Perfect Husband: The Laci Peterson Story - 2004 by susidee34 Pros: Dean Cain
Cons: writing, poor development, lackluster ending So many times I have watched a movie that claims to be based on true accounts. Since most of those are in a time or place I was not involved in, I have to take it on good faith that they are telling me the truth plus embellishing it a bit for ...

"Mistletoe!" I Beg To Be Let Out Of "Four Christmases!" by wlswarts Pros: Opens well, surprisingly
Cons: Guts all character, Previews ruined virtually all of the humor, Not extraordinary acting. Christmas movies tend to fare poorly with me because I have a low tolerance for schmaltz. Indeed, "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" (reviewed at: http://www.epinions.com/conten

See Through the Hype... Don't Be a Sap by nagels Pros: Holds the reader's interest. Revealing and informative.

Alison Brown's Evergreen: A New Christmas Tradition by Bounty628 Pros: This album will turn into an annual Christmas tradition.
Cons: None. We have perhaps all had the same dream as Alison Brown in one form or another. Pack it all away at the corporate desks we occupy, leave it all behind and head off into a whole new world of doing something you perhaps never dreamed possible. Brown ...

Life with the bin Ladens... by knotheadusc Pros: Interesting and passionate account of life with the bin Ladens. Photos.
Cons: Very bitter. A bit self-serving. It must be hell to be a member of Osama bin Laden's enormous family these days. After all, Osama bin Laden is either revered or feared by many of the world's citizens. Not long ago, I caught a newscast about bin Laden's adult son, Omar, who supposedly ...

Founding Brothers || the first Americans... by sleeper54 Pros: Smartly written; engaging and challenging; you will be a smarter citizen at the end.
Cons: No pictures. OK ...it is pretty much complete as is. ...It is customary to refer to the 'Founding Fathers' when speaking of the men who precipitated, organized and led the breakaway of the American Colonies from Mother England. It seems this period of 'nation building' almost requires the image of ...

A Classic Tale, Masterfully Done by mccollaum Pros: Great illustrations. Fun, rhyming story. Not your typical fairytale.
Cons: Don’t expect a happy ending. I remember the first time I ever heard the poem "The Spider and The Fly.” I was six years old and suffering from chicken pox at the time. It was a warm, June night at a campground in New Mexico. All of my Dad’s family had gathered for a ...

No mistake goes unnoticed, and everyone is expected to abide by his standards of excellence. He is the neighborhood watch, as well as the neighbor with the badge. His name is Abel Turner, a ...

Daniel Craig Bared His Body in Quantum of Solace by dragonfire88 Pros: Entertaining movie. Daniel Craig and Judi Dench.
Cons: Shaky camera work at times. Villain could have been stronger. The James Bond movies have been around for many years and gone through changes during that time. I have seen at least some of most of the movies and enjoyed them. A decision was made to restart the series, sort of like what was done for the ...
