Salvation in Death - Eve Investigates the Murder of Priest With Secrets by dragonfire88 Pros: Another entertaining book in the series. Interesting plot.
Cons: Certain things could upset some readers. Some characters not used much. I tend to end up getting all the books in a series after I read a few and really enjoy them. I got hooked on J.D. Robb's In Death series several years ago when I picked up Naked in Death and have been ...

A Tale Of Two Bajorans:Kira And Ro Reboot "Star Trek:Deep Space Nine" With "Avatar!" by wlswarts Pros: Generally interesting characters, Good writing
Cons: Essentially the same plot at the first pilot to "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine!" For those who might not read my many, many reviews, I am a huge fan of "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" (reviewed at: http://www.epinions.com/conten

Gibson Firebird Studio: Bring Out The Wildebeast In You by ahand Pros: One of the finest blues guitars ever.
Cons: The Studio isn't a true Firebird. As you may or may not know, the wildebeast in Africa is famous for being an animal that "God made out of spare parts." When one looks at this latest incarnation of the Firebird, one has to wonder if it was designed by committee. It always did, actually, ...

A Nice Step In The Right Direction for Disney Without Pixar by movieman9000 Pros: Nice visuals, Some cool action, Great voice acting
Cons: Meanders, Filled to the brim with cliche's, A little too predictable "Bolt" will naturally be competing for the #1 spot next weekend with teenybopper favorite, "Twilight" and rightfully so. It's had a solid marketing campaign, and it has the same wide appeal as other films like Madagascar 2, just without the sequel pull. ...

A Country band that slashes through the rock genre and shows promise by jbrd Pros: A fresh direction(country-vocals fused with rock vibes) in the genre.
Cons: Too short, some tracks suck. The modern rock industry today is ruled by popular bands like Nickelback, 3 Doors Down, Hinder and etc. So it is always a good idea to throw in some new and fresh bands in the mix. When I had saw Saving Abel's first video/single, "Addicted" on Fuse ...

Donnie Brasco - The Common Bond Between a Mafia Hitman and an Undercover Agent by AliventiAsylum Pros: excellent depiction of the relationships involved, terrific acting by Depp and Pacino, supporting cast, cinematography
Cons: violence is in the background and might have a feeling of being glossed over I doubt that the American cinema has been more fascinated of any subject than it has of the mafia. The way it’s often been portrayed, you would think there were wall-to-wall gangsters all over the Northeast, especially in New York ...

Great Guitar, Better Price by geiselmayr13 Pros: Great sound, looks good, great price!
Cons: Some trouble with buzzing low E string, but easily fixed. Recently I took up an interest in learning to play the guitar. I started messing around with an old beater guitar we had laying around the house and realized that it would be better to buy a new guitar then be frustrated to death with an old guitar ...

Clutch's Wild Ride by PacManY2J Pros: Fun, funky hard rock
Cons: Some songs, while enjoyable, don't quite stand out. For their third studio album, Clutch chose the name The Elephant Riders. Due to the album's big, heavy sounds, it actually does seem to be the perfect music to blast while riding atop such a large animal, trampling whatever lies in its ...

Uh-oh, There Goes Tokyo! Actually Manhattan by BaronSamedi3 Pros: The mini-zillas are cool

Paul Rudd & Seann William Scott elevate a very tried and true formula by rmurray847 Pros: Rudd, Scott, Thompson & Mintz-Platz, along with the incomparable Jane Lynch.
Cons: It's VERY familiar territory, and the ending is predictable. In this new “golden era” of R-rated comedies (KNOCKED UP, 40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN, SUPER BAD, etc.)…there are a few “MVP” actors who have made a real impact on a broad swath of these films. Seth Rogan is certainly the name ...

People you've been before that you don't want around anymore by GregRadiohead Pros: A great singer/songwriter album rich with stories and people
Cons: None Today was my day off for the week, so after sleeping in late and catching up on Internet nonsense I mailed a credit card bill and went to the library. Once I got home I decided to go for a walk and smoke a clove cigarette. Smoking is something I rarely ...

Spot on Portrait of Rural Living by timothysmith Pros: Great Acting, Freakin' Awesome Quotes, Great inside jokes about rural life in the Western U.S.
Cons: No plot (but for me this was also something of a pro) Napoleon Dynamite has been criticized for a number of reasons. People have complained that it doesn't have a plot, that the actors show no emotions, and that it relies on too much stupid humor. In my opinion, people that feel this way are missing the ...

The Kaisers of Catchy by andaryl Pros: Catchy tunes

More about Flaubert from Julian Barnes by Stephen_Murray Pros: I liked the movie chapters best
Cons: I don't care if Jacques Brel is alive or where he lived Being a Francophile is necessary but not sufficient to enjoy Julian Barnes's 2002 collection (mostly of book reviews) Something to Declare: Essays on France. There are two chapters on the Tour de France (bicycle race), one on the break between ...

Kurosawa's Tale of Two Peasants, a Princess, & a General by thevoid99 Pros: Kurosawa's Direction, Script, Editing, Music, Cinematography, & Cast.
Cons: None. In the 1950s, Akira Kurosawa was clearly becoming Japan's premier auteur with films like Rashomon, Ikiru, Throne of Blood, The Lower Depths, and most of all, The Seven Samurai. Taking the samurai films to new ...

Cormac McCarthy Creates a Bleakly Magnificent World in "The Road" by JediKermit Pros: Beautifully written, tender themes in the midst of horror, father-son relationship.
Cons: Some shockingly violent scenes... Since becoming a father in 2002, I've noticed that there are particular stories...particular genres...that I can't stand watching in films, or reading about in books. That genre is anything that puts a child--especially a boy--in peril. Those ...

Gold can’t buy love. by rcoaxum12 Pros: Michael Caine’s narration; Ellis and Yo-Yo Ma’s music; Rodica Prato’s illustrations.
Cons: Lack of action in animation. “King Midas and the Golden Touch” is another beautiful story from the creative minds of Rabbit Ears “We All Have Tales” series. With the combined efforts of Michael Caine’s touching narration, ...

Do You Have Digital Natives in Your House? "Born Digital" can help you Understand Them. by JediKermit Pros: Concrete examples, interesting analysis, short chapters, looks at pros and cons of technology & kids.
Cons: Might make you feel old and out of touch. But probably not. When it comes down to it, I don't know if any book will help us understand our children. I like to think I'm still relatively young at 35, and yet with my own sons (ages 4 and 6) and the 12 and 13 year olds I teach at school, sometimes I feel like ...

A beloved tale about true love conquering evil. by rcoaxum12 Pros: Max Von Sydow’s narration, Lyle Mays’ music, and Vivienne Flesher’s illustrations.

How could the U.S. spend a trillion dollars? Besides the Iraq War, I mean. by JediKermit Pros: Interesting exploration of one trillion dollars... examination of world problems; short, funny, fast read.
Cons: Definitely not a non-partisan look at the war... I saw this book reviewed in our local newspaper a few weeks back, and it sounded too interesting for me to pass up. Author Rob Simpson took the figure of $1,000,000,000,000 (the amount the Iraq War had cost us when he started writing the book in ...

Q of S is definitely fun to watch!! Dont miss it by kldavis99 Pros: Action packed. Never a dull moment.
Cons: Some of editing a little edgy. Bond is definitely back and with force I might add. Q of S movie as well as the previous (Casino Royale) show a more edgier Bond. It is a far take from its predecessors womanizing ways. Albeit there is some homage of the former ways but it is definitely ...
