beautiful and strange
by vuk12_97_24_99
Pros: retro feel to it. the album is a mixture of everything they've done before.

John Marsden - The Night Is for Hunting
The Night is for Unconvincing Action
by fuyu_yuki
Pros: Well written in places.
Cons: Unrealistic action scenes.
Too much "filler" material.
*Contains minor spoilers.*I do get the feeling that by the time this book was written, the publishers were flogging a dead horse. It’s becoming increasingly obvious that the author was getting bored too, as the most of this book, like the ...

Pros: Two interesting sonic experiments
Cons: Very short and not really appealing to those accustomed to pop music

James Cameron Lays a Shiny, Blue, Expensive CGI Turd: Avatar
by trust12345
Pros: Co-opted Na'vi philosophy of animism. Beautiful look of the Pandoran planet (flora and fauna).         
Cons: Ham-fisted themes, one-dimensional characters, cliched story/romance, cheesy music, not credible        
When perhaps the most original and interesting thing about your $300m (500m?) movie is the alien planet's flora and fauna, there is something very rotten in the state of Denmark (or Hollywood, as the case may be). James Cameron's "Avatar" will make all ...

The World Almanac and Book of Facts 2010
The best Almanac
by texas-swede
Pros: A lot of interesting statistics, good organization, nice format, useful index.
Cons: Lack of graphs, none of the Almanacs featured some statistics that I am interested in.
Almanacs may seem boring. However, they do something that TV news and other media entertainment do not. They give you a fairly complete picture. For example, a small disaster that gets a lot of media attention seems big and important. It may even seem ...
