Not A Promising Debut For Donna Lewis With "Now In A Minute" by wlswarts Pros: A few decent lyrics, Generally sounds all right
Cons: Some breathy vocals that are annoying, Short! For quite some time, I did not know my mother that well. I grew up without her in my life and when I was in high school, we started to see one another more and interact. While we were getting to know one another, my mother learned quickly of the ...

From Chaos Comes Beauty by musicsucks Pros: ...
Cons: ... Who would have known that a group of guys from Omaha Nebraska could write songs that belong on the beach when they are so far away? 311 has done just that as well as rocked out hard over their career of genre-bending music. You can hear the metal, ...

Who reads this book? by Shanti Pros: Explains how designers help, and photos give plenty of ideas.
Cons: The author is a designer, so her arguments for hiring one are compelling. I work in an industry concerned with home decor, architecture, trends, etc., so I try to stay abreast by reading a lot of books on homes. When I ran across "How to Work With an Interior Designer," I had to read it just because it seemed like such an odd ...

Fancy Nancy Goes to France....Well Not Really. The Butterfly Garden Trip by pablothegreat Pros: Extra vocabulary words, fun story, Nancy's sense of style, gorgeous pictures, girly...more
Cons: Almost cursive writing. My daughter was first introduced to Fancy Nancy in our local library. I suspected that she would not care for these types of books after all, she is not a girly girl at all. Dressing up fancifully is not her idea of a good time! What I found was that ...

This ain't no Gentle Ben!--Grizzy Park may be the best Bear movie... by jbrd Pros: Extremely entertaining, they used a real bear, incredible twist at the end.
Cons: A slow spot. Bears aren't scary. Plain and simple. I do not find them scary at all, even if they were roaring. However, being right in front of one, sure, but not in movies. Killer bear movies have always been bad. I haven't had much experienced with them, but after ...

So Many Pigs! But Where Did They Come From? by bilbopooh Pros: fantastic paintings, great verses
Cons: no explanation of the pigs' presence Pigs are popular subjects of children's books. I can think of at least a dozen different authors who have written about pigs with great success. Of course, one of my all-time favorite fictional pigs is Wilbur, the humble fellow at the heart of ...

For Harry, Some Gifts Are Better Left Unopened by bilbopooh Pros: funny and ultimately sweet
Cons: cover art doesn't match the inside Unlike Ralphie, that poor beleaguered lad in A Christmas Story, I never had to suffer through grotesquely embarrassing gifts created especially for me by a caring relative. Partly I suspect that's because it seems to be more of a problem for boys; ...

Curious George Goes Camping and Faces Several Challenges by bilbopooh Pros:
good use of camping theme, fun pictures Cons: not an original story by the Reys Every year, my family spends a weekend camping at Little Pine State Park in central Pennsylvania. It's always a terrific time, but for many years, before we could sit around the campfire roasting marshmallows, we had to assemble our tents, a task which ...

The IPCRESS File - good but not brilliant screen version of the book by captaind Pros: Good cast especially Caine, Furie's direction, John Barry's incredible music score...
Cons: ... leaves out a lot of the book's plot, weak characterisation... The IPCRESS File is a spy thriller based on Len Deighton’s book of the same name, and is the film that propelled Michael Caine into the realms of international stardom. Oh, and it’s a pretty good film, too... Harry Palmer, "Insubordinate. ...

Max Von Sydow in Dario Argento's return to former glory by toolfan828 Pros: Max Von Sydow, stylish camerawork, good gore.
Cons: Some weak performances, poor DVD. Director Dario Argento teams up with frequent collaborator and writer Franco Ferrini in what is considered to be a return to form for the Italian director. Sleepless (AKA Nonhosonno) begins in Turin, Italy in 1983 at a murder scene where Detective ...

The Ultimate Gift for Curious George Collectors and Curious George Fans by pablothegreat Pros: Curious George stories, large book, kept my child busy!
Cons: Curious George oddly smokes in one of the stories. Curious George is just like those family friendly little Berenstain Bears, always getting into something and learning a lesson from it. Or rather the children reading the books learn a lesson! My child doesn't really like the laugh-inducing comedies ...

Yesterday, Tomorrow and Today Blend in Kipper's Birthday by bilbopooh Pros: funny premise, great pictures
Cons: gets a little confusing... I love watching The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. First off, the man is from Glasgow, Scotland, so everything he says is music to my ears. Second, even if he wasn't Scottish, he's one of the funniest guys on television, especially when in ...

On the front cover is says "For moms of any age - no matter when you had a baby" so I figured it might ...

The tender Vocal Embrace of Sarah Vaughn by sj1and0 Pros: A heart warming performance.

~~ THE AFTERSHOCK OF BRANDO ~ JAMES DEAN STARRING JAMES FRANCO ~~ by kbolton72 Pros: James Franco, great acting, exciting, endearing, magical
Cons: It was only made for tv, there was more to Dean's life than was shown While watching this movie, the song "Ooh Child" by The Five Stairsteps played somewhere in the back of my mind. I have a soft spot for the legendary James Dean, and watching young James Franco (Freaks and Geeks) bring him to life touched my heart ...

I Want To Take Mariah Carey's "Music Box" & Smash It To Pieces by speeddemon531 Pros:
"Dreamlover". "I've Been Thinking About You". That's it. Cons: A collection of ballads on constant loop in my own personal jukebox from hell. Tons of folks complain about Mariah Carey's hip-hop identified, hoochie mama image now and contrast it to her chaste, ballad-belting early career. Granted, Mimi didn't need to vamp it up to the level that she has (when was the last video she made in ...

"Metamorphoseon" Not How I Remembered, But Still Decent Respighi by wlswarts Pros: An intriguing Classical artist well performed
Cons: Moments where the volume kicks down too low Some months back, I heard a piece on my local public radio station and I was so thrilled by it, that I have been in a search for it since. I could have sworn it was called the "Metamorphosea," but a little bit of research into it quickly lead me to ...
