Wow!! by kelinrose Pros: Great music, and soft rock songs from a great musician.
Cons: None I know of. Today I went and bought the David Cook album, as a big fan, and someone who voted for him countless times, because he's an amazing singer, I rushed out to get it as soon as I possibly could. First off, he wrote ALL these songs himself, and basically ...

Urge Overkill's Exit the Dragon: Helene's 90's Rock Nostalgia Trip, Part 1 by helenekhoffman Pros: Interesting sound for a power pop record: Murky, claustrophobic. Great in small doses.
Cons: Samey and overlong, weak vocals from Roeser and Onassis. My memories of 90's alt rock trio Urge Overkill are fuzzy. The "Sister Havana" video (briefly pimped by MTV via the "Buzz Bin"), the Neil Diamond cover on Tarantino's Pulp Fiction soundtrack. The retro 70's wardrobe with the ...

Quadrophonic Toppling by GregRadiohead Pros: A valuable view of improvisational studio Phish
Cons: Not for everyone or even most fans "All music on this disc was recorded live (no overdubs) during two multi-day jam sessions at Bearsville Studios in 1997."So says the last of the liner notes in the booklet of The Siket Disc, without a doubt the greatest curio in the ...

Matilda - this is no ordinary little girl! by captaind Pros: Great fun throughout, DeVito, Perlman and Ferris are hilariously revolting...
Cons: ... Miss "Honey" is just too sickly sweet... Matilda is a fun, family-friendly film based on the well-known Roald Dhal book. Matilda is a young girl who isn't wanted by her parents - and they let her know this at every opportunity. The parents in question - Harry and Zinnia ...

Similar to a Player's Stats Tapering Off After the All-Star Break by dodgersfan7800 Pros: Easy Read. No factual errors are apparent.
Cons: Post 1966 is almost completely glossed over. Jarring shifts in tone. The subtitle of the book is "Everything You Need to Know to Be a Real Fan!" Not quite. I am already a fan of the Los Angeles Dodgers, so there was no new information in the book for me. So I approached the book as if I was a baseball or ...

Aeon Flux - Charlize Theron in sexy costumes, and ... not much else. by captaind Pros: Some things were okay, Charlize Theron fans may be happy enough...
Cons: ... if you're looking for a good / exciting sci-fi film, just forget it. Aeon Flux is a futuristic sci-fi action thriller set in the twenty fifth century. In 2011 a virus wiped out 99% of the earth's population, with the remaining 1% being saved by the Goodchild brothers who developed a cure. This 1% now ...

Friendly Ghosts and Memories by James Horner by ssjakira1 Pros: Nice quiet pieces, fun upbeat pieces
Cons: Not quite for everyone A long while ago my sister bought the Casper soundtrack - on tape. That's right. Back before CDs took over the world. It was fun and there was one particular song we liked the most, and the last several months I'd wanted to hear ...

A Little to old for Harry Potter? Give this one a Try. by Ravenskya Pros: One of the most well thought-out independant novels I have read in a long time.
Cons: Doesn't wrap up entirely at the end. I will admit, that over the last few years I have grown away from the fantasy genre, so this book sat in my "to be read" pile a bit longer than it should have. However once I opened it up, I was thrilled with the story. What we have here is a very well ...

266 pages of thinking - Wasn't that Convenient by Ravenskya Pros: Very strong opening
Cons: Goes down hill quickly This is Laymon's most recent re-release (as of Nov 08). This feature story is shorter than most standard Leisure books, coming in at about 266 pages. The rest of the book is a teaser for "Dark Mountain" which is being re-released in March of 2009. I am ...

Get the Scoop on Poop by nagels Pros: Fun and fascinating
Cons: Like a satisfying bowel movement, ends too soon Every morning I pick it up with plastic bags. Not satisfied, I patrol the yard for more, but too often step in that which escaped my notice. Some say I’m full of it, and some use the pejorative term for it when referring to my head. Over a ...

Save Some Space, Or Save Even More By Not Buying The "Nightwatch"/"DayWatch" Two-Pack! by wlswarts Pros: "Daywatch" is all right, Creativity

Quantum of Solace (2008): The DC James Bond Grows Up Some More by Ed.Williamson Pros: The Bond Girl that ain't a Bondgirl.
Cons: Craig's Bond still has too much stoneface. We are being given a whole new paradigm on James Bond with the Daniel Craig incarnation of the British superspy. Whereas the icon was that created by the intrepid actor Sean Connery, and all who followed after him were variations on his theme, Daniel ...

Straight from Julie Andrews... by knotheadusc Pros: Well-written and engaging. Julie Andrews' first 27 years are fascinating. Photos.
Cons: Abrupt ending. I wanted to read beyond 1962. I have always admired the great actress and singer Julie Andrews, star of My Fair Lady, Mary Poppins, and The Sound of Music. I also love to read true stories, especially biographies and autobiographies. When I spotted Julie Andrews' ...

Candy really is sweet by tiger62x Pros: Excellent ensemble acting, particularly great performance by Heath Ledger and Abbie Cornish.
Cons: I actually cannot think of anything negative. I tried to not go into an ill-time posthumous gush about the genius of Heath Ledger. I still have not seen Brokeback Mountain, and knew his name as an actor however I could never really place the face. He has the unique ability of many of the most ...

Kutless makes a halfway-decent rock album. Consider my mind blown! by divad23 Pros: Newer band members add legitimacy to the band's "default post-grunge" sound.
Cons: Half of it is still awkwardly written, adult contemporary mush. It's been over two years since I last had the pleasure of reviewing a Kutless album. Those who know me well should know by now that it's an opportunity I always relish, because I tend to consider Kutless to be the poster boys for all that is wrong ...

Five middle-period Alain Delon movies by Stephen_Murray Pros: Delon, Signoret, Baye, Meurisse; locations, sets, cinematography, plotting/writing
Cons: "The Swimming Pool" moved too slowly for me Alain Delon (born in 1935) served in the French army in Indochina, ca. 1953, most of the time in the brig according to him. René Clement's adaptation of The Talented Mr. Ripley, "Plein soleil"/"Purple Noon," made Delon an international ...

It's Not Just That I'm Getting Tired Of James Taylor,"Never Die Young" Is Mediocre Taylor! by wlswarts Pros: Good voice, Decent mellow tunes, Some lyrics

As I prepare to take a few day's break to return to Janis Ian's works, I find myself eager to review "Never Die Young," the ...

Besides focusing on the four main members Roger Daltry, Pete Townshend, Keith ...

THE DOCTOR IS IN by kirbylee Pros: A look at the REAL Hunter S. Thompson.
Cons: Perhaps more of a discussion of how he related to his story in film. On February 20, 2005, the end of an era was blown out not with a whisper but with a bang. Dr. Hunter S. Thompson chose that day to end his own life by committing suicide with one of the many guns he owned. It was a loss for a generation that grew up ...

Ted Dekker needs to write from the heart again by jonathanlane89 Pros: Good ending.
Cons: Cleche characters and boring opening. I've been a Ted Dekker fan since reading his Circle Trilogy a couple of years ago and have read every book he's written since then. His writing is some of the best I've seen from anyone, books like Thr3e and Showdown captured my imagination and kept me ...

A classical music video in space by jonathanlane89 Pros: Stunning visuals, great music, and very meaningful.

I've always intended to watch it... one of these days, but other films kept pushing it back just a little bit. Finally, I put my foot down and just said "you know what? ...
