Romance on the high seas by chiliqueen Pros: Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr, extras
Cons: Predictable, overly cloying Leo McCarey's 1957 remake of his 1939 Love Affair stars Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr as two completely different people who end up falling in love on a transatlantic cruise. Nickie Ferrante (Grant) is a smooth-talking playboy who has a new girl ...

Never mind the bollocks...HERE'S the Sex Pistols. by deadmilkboy Pros: A fine introduction and gateway drug into punk as told through its most infamous act.
Cons: It's limited to the band's perspective; the DVD extras left me feeling cheated. No past: Literally in the case of the lead singer and lyricist, he got meningitis when he was seven years old. The past years of his life escaped his mind and he had to start life all over again with the help of his Irish immigrant mother.No ...

Withstanding the Flames by imagine_stars Pros: Great message
Cons: Contrived writing, a bit predictable "Never leave your partner." These are the words firefighter Caleb Holt knows by heart. He has earned his rank as Captain and his coworkers' respect, but he feels absolutely no admiration from his own wife. Catherine always thought she wanted a hero, but ...

"Satan sucks..." by HawgWyld Pros: Basic, fun rock n' roll
Cons: A bit too amateurish at times; hard to find There is a heck of a lot to love about this overlooked 1993 release. Before getting to the merits of this fine album, a bit of history is important. Cub was initially formed by three Canadian women who worked at their college radio station. Those three ...

It's a Keyboard! by birchjoshua Pros: Variety of Sounds.
Lightweight. Good action. Good Price. Cons: Bad speakers, outright bad. Quater-inch Headphone plug, for quater-inch headphones that don't exist. All 200 dollar keyboards are essentially the same. Poor sounds, bad speakers, bad programs and programed grooves. But the Yamaha PSR e413 61-key Portable does a surprisingly adequate job.First off though, the speakers are crap. ...

All Aboard! The Midnight Meat Train by Mike_Bracken Pros: Great atmosphere and direction.
Cons: Loses focus slightly in the second act. In a recent interview, author, artist, filmmaker, and all around renaissance man Clive Barker stated that calling what happened to his film The Midnight Meat Train "tragic" was probably too strong a word. I suppose it is, in the sense that there ...

More Art, Expertly Imitating Life by mikeyhustle Pros: Comics are presented as story-driven, and not necessarily great-art-driven, storytelling devices
Cons: You will either appreciate the prevalence of memoir, or you will not If the first volume of Ivan Brunetti's ambitious anthology served as an introduction to some of graphic art's masters and those they influenced, I feel that the second volume shows us what we can do by their examples. Much more intensely personal, Vol. 2 ...

A Great Start to a Long Career by seanfowler5 Pros: A strong EP with all great songs. None are just fillers.
Cons: May take a second chance to get into it. She Watched the Sky is the debut EP by A Skylit Drive. The band consists of Jordan Blake singing, Nick Miller and Joey Wilson on guitar, Kyle Simmons on keys, and Cory LaQuay on drums and backup vocals. The members met in High School, and the obvious ...

Nine Lives (Steve Winwood): "Well, the World's No Perfect Place" by MiDoyle Pros: Solid, sometimes stellar work; worth having in the collection.
Cons: A few workmanlike moments. The most distinctive things about Steve Winwood are not only the "voice," a supple mix of honey and steel, smooth and cutting, but also his range (rock, soul, blues, R&B, folk) and musicianship (organ, piano, guitars). To my mind, he is one of ...

The Borg Go Past Assimilation, and Opt for Annihilation. by JediKermit Pros: Opens some new characters and mysteries in the Trek Universe, logical progression for old characters..
Cons: Don't look for much closure here... I had taken a break from "Star Trek" books for several years, but 2008 has been a year for me to get caught up on what I had missed. It turns out a lot, and reading about ten different Trek novels over the course of the last year has been a roller ...
