Cons: you may need to modify the amount of chile peppers in each recipe After Italian, Mexican food is probably my favorite type of cuisine. I've been on a cookbook-buying binge the past couple of months and most of the books I've bought have been about Mexican food. I've been using Mexican Everyday by ...

Jessica Sanchez’s Me, You & The Music: Well…..at least there’s me and you. by Monnie1976 Pros: Her voice is undeniable, a few good moments
Cons: Most of the album fails to connect Jessica Sanchez, the powerhouse runner-up from season eleven from American Idol, blasted seemingly out of nowhere to dominate week after week. Yet, Sanchez has been working for her chance at stardom since before she could read. I, like most people with ...

Demi Lovato leaves Disney behind with fourth album. by Monnie1976 Pros: Some great song choices, Lovato has phenomenal voices
Cons: None really. When it comes to the vast array of Disney divas who have saturated the pop world market, no one could blame you for getting confused. They come in all variety. Most of them are a jack of all trades but master of none. While girls like Selena Gomez, Miley ...

3.5-star movie showcasing the gentle sadness and competence of Robert Foster by Stephen_Murray Pros: Foster, Armstrong, Guy; dry wit
Cons: budgetary constraints Like the late Roger Ebert, I like the somewhat melancholy but honorable (screen persona of) Robert Foster (Medium Cool, Foxy Brown), and, therefore, the 2000 low-budget independent file “Diamond Men” ...

War is coming! by carl_lazarevic Pros: fun and exciting
Cons: a little cheesy in places It's safe to say that J.J Abrams reimaging of Star Trek managed to be a roaring success as a standalone film. However the true test was always going to be in seeing how well Abrams could continue his new universe into a series as a whole. The true test; ...

Amanda Knox has her say... the ultimate "locked up abroad" story by knotheadusc Pros: Well-written, interesting, unique perspective on Amanda Knox from Knox herself.
Cons: Some find Knox unlikable. Hi folks. I know I just got home from Italy and Greece and have tons of travel reviews to write. I wanted to knock out my review of Amanda Knox's 2013 book, Waiting to Be Heard: A Memoir first, because once I start writing about ...

NO NO NO by divad23 Pros: The band wrings a few genuine highlights out of their trademark sassiness and experimentalism.
Cons: Deplorably repetitive lyrics, grooves that are all setup/no payoff, no sense of pacing whatsoever. It seems impossible to discuss the new Yeah Yeah Yeahs album, Mosquito, without first addressing the issue of its cover art. I think I may be one of the few people who wasn't horrified by it. Sure, it's garish. It's a cartoonish image of a ...

Mud - A modern day Twain-esque tale of youth by phungus Pros: Brilliant writing and direction, excellent performances
Cons: If you're scared of snakes you might have some problems with this Prior to seeing Mud in the theater, I had not seen any trailers for it and knew nothing of the plot. All that I’d heard was that many critics and even regular folks were calling it great, and it was making steady money at the box office. I ...

A Fresh Slant on German Immigrants' Contributions to Nineteenth Century Texas by aohcapablanca Pros: Author convincingly showcases aspects of nineteenth century German immigration to Texas previously underemphasized or unnoticed.
Cons: Publisher failed to include 74 endnotes to Chapter 13. Only one teeny map. More needed. The likeliest readers to immerse themselves in Dr James C. Kearney's 2010 NASSAU PLANTATION: THE EVOLUTION OF A TEXAS GERMAN SLAVE PLANTATION are specialists in either Texas history or German history or in both. I do not fit into either category, ...
