Don't fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way. Learn DSOTM by shopaholic_man Pros: It's step by step guitar instructions for Dark Side of the Moon.
Cons: There is no follow along TAB book to go with it. (unless bought separately) Do you fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way? Don't! When I was young I wanted to learn guitar, but I never seem to find the time. The plans had come to naught. Twenty years have got behind me, and I decided to take it up ...

Kurosawa's Modern-Day Tale of Hamlet in the Post-War Japanese Corporate World by thevoid99 Pros: Kurosawa's Direction, Script, Editing, Suspense, Cinematography, Music, & Cast.
Cons: Starts Off Pretty Slowly. Reknowned Japanese auteur Akira Kurosawa has been known for taking on various genres while incorporating into some of his films, most notably his samurai features. Yet, whether its noir, western, or even Shakespeare, Kurosawa always had found ...

It's like one of those bad dreams when you can't wake up by glvrican Pros: The album contradicts itself, P!nk's vocals are still enjoyable
Cons: Lots of loss and little fun, P!nk's game is lowered for radio success "It's like one of those bad dreams...when you can't up"That is one of the lines in the second verse of the goopy yet emotional ballad "I Don't Believe You," which sets the trend that is FUNHOUSE. A fun house is just that, a bad ...

Sam Peckinpah's Eulogy for the West: PAT GARRETT & BILLY THE KID by xxxxer Pros: Music, performances, writing, mood, many memorable scenes...
Cons: A few problems with pacing and with the story's development Having more or less revolutionized the western, and indeed action films in general, with 1969's The Wild Bunch, director Sam Peckinpah would tackle the genre several more times. While his work was frequently marked by controversy, ...

The King of the Blues Gives One More Lesson by tanta08 Pros: Suberbly crafted blues from a master
Cons: That B.B. can't put out music like this for another 50 years Of course it’s rather obvious to say, but B.B. King has had an unbelievable career. He’s the undisputed Ambassador of the Blues to the world, he’s undoubtedly the biggest blues star the world has ever seen, and he’s put out ...

So Far, P!nk's 4th studio album is her best work by glvrican Pros: P!nk vocals, Headbanging everywhere, Raw emotion
Cons: Maybe one too many ballads As to whether P!nk will either become a legend or a fade away artist is entirely unknown. All we do know is that, in today's pop musical landscape, P!nk is a glowing gem that none of us should dare to lose. She isn't anti-Britney but she ain't ...

Paradise Lost and Found: Billy Corben's COCAINE COWBOYS by xxxxer Pros: A comprehensive study of 1980s drug culture in Miami
Cons: Sometimes quite morbid and graphic Miami, Florida of the 1980s was a place both glamorized and demonized in various ways by film makers and various media sources then and now. Films like Scarface and the TV series Miami Vice depicted Miami, perhaps correctly, as a drug ...

Scully's Death Sentence Begins With "Leonard Betts" And "Memento Mori!" by wlswarts Pros: "Memento Mori" is an amazing Scully episode!
Cons: Special effects in "Leonard Betts" While doing some research on "The X-Files" for one of my reviews, I came across the little factoid that "Leonard Betts," which aired after the Super Bowl in 1997 became the most-viewed episode of "The X-Files" ever. Go figure. I suppose it was a smart ...

The Transforming Power of Love: Disney's "Beauty and the Beast" by befus Pros: Story; music; voice talent; animation; the lovely way it's all put together
Cons: A few frightening scenes for young children I'm old enough that I can remember when seeing a Disney movie was still a fairly major event. Before the advent of videos and DVDs, the only time one saw a Disney film was either at the theater or on television. And yet, for all the charm and uniqueness ...

Napoleon Dynamite Meets Bad Santa by coldsteel7 Pros: Great Casting, Side Splitting Funny.

A frothy concoction...a real treat. by rmurray847 Pros: Wonderful sets & costumes. Frances McDormand & Amy Adams.
Cons: It's a very insubstantial film. Over the year’s I’ve seen many film reviews that will label something as “frothy” or even a “frothy confection.” This description never really spoke to me…but the other day, I watched MISS PETTIGREW LIVES ...

The Endless Cycle, Fueled By Social Stigma. by sumoplus001 Pros: Engaging, well written and informative.

A bewitching fantasy comedy by Stephen_Murray Pros: Cecil Kellaway and Veronica Lake
Cons: sputtering Fredric March (sputtering and humorlessness are in character) I thought that "The Ghost Goes West" (1935) was carried by Robert Donat's charm (and mellifluous voice). The whimsical 1942 comedy "I Married a Witch" (with more ghosts) convinced me that the charm must have been that of René Clair, who directed ...

An Orginal! by sumoplus001 Pros: Sound track, good cast, simple script, realistic setting.
Cons: None I can think of. This is one of my hubby's favorite movies. It's a sort of movie that many people, especially twenty somethings like my hubby and me, may be able to relate to. The movie starts out with Andrew Largeman (Zach Braff) having a dream about ...

Ian Fleming's unfinished novel comes to life by johnenfield Pros: More classic Bond-like moments, better music, more humor, less gore.
Cons: Quick pace may confuse some viewers, plot twists may too. When reading info about the upcoming movie, Quantum of Solace, I found out that it was based on a novel that Ian Fleming, creator of James Bond, had started writing after Casino Royale but never finished. He went on to write Live and Let Die next ...

The Tough Sell Of Janis Ian's Overproduced "Revenge!" by wlswarts Pros: Good vocals, Good lyrics, Moments of instrumentals
Cons: None of the vocals, lyrics, or instrumentals are as good as her other works. Janis Ian, what can I write about her that I might not yet have written? She amazes me on virtually all of her albums. In fact, yesterday, I declared "Breaking Silence" an album close enough to perfect to give five-stars to. After six weeks of the ...
