Tribute Albums Always Seem To Be A Mixed Bag: "Where Have All The Flowers Gone" by wlswarts Pros: Some amazing vocals, instrumentals, and lyrics
Cons: Some unimpressive adaptations of Pete Seeger's works. With over two and a half hours of music on two c.d.s, one might expect a tribute album to Pete Seeger to be extraordinary. Or, I suppose, those who are not fans of Pete Seeger might expect such an anthology to be entirely boring. As it is, "Where Have ...

Cookies for Santa, Santa-Bribe Recipes by pestyside Pros: Simple ingredient lists, Easy-to-make cookie recipes, Culinary anthropology and vintage art
Cons: Minor inconsistencies in details (not in recipes), Encourages bribing Santa As the tradition goes, Santa Claus does a lot of traveling on Christmas Eve and while it's amazing he gets so much done in so little time (even if time stops on Christmas Eve until he's done), apparently he needs sustenance to keep his belly round and ...

Inside The Mind Of Ben Stein by coldsteel7 Pros: Intelligent examination of arguments regarding Intelligent Design. Allows input from both sides.
Cons: Stock footage distracting. Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed is like many documentaries. Ben Stein acts as the host, taking viewers along on interviews. The interviews center around the discussion of Intelligent Design, with viewpoints explored from both sides ...

Life Magazine’s take on the wonders of the world by texas-swede Pros: Beautiful photographs, easy and interesting reading, seven removable vintage photographs good for framing.
Cons: As always, you can criticize the selection. I bought this book at Barnes and Noble some time ago primarily because of the amazing photographs in the book. However, I was also positively surprised by the selection. The selection was not perfect but unexpectedly well informed in my opinion. It is ...

How do you find your books to read? by jpolhemus  Pros: Quotable, truly provocative, intellectual; worthy of being read twice!
Cons: Not for the casual reader The Great Conversation began centuries ago when Socrates walked and talked with his students. He saw no need to put his efforts on a scroll. After all, the conversation was a communication of ideas. However, Plato disagreed and gave us those talks in ...

Heath Ledger Wows 'Em As Aussie Frankie Valli In 10 Things I Hate About You~ by jankp Pros: Ledger; Stiles; enjoyable soundtrack and Ledger's singing scene
Cons: long; predictable... The 1999 romantic comedy for teens, 10 Things I Hate About You, escaped my notice until recently when I looked for movies with ‘10' or ‘Tenth' in their title for my write-off celebrating my tenth epinions.com anniversary. When I ...

Final Cut In A Book ~ From Beginner To Something Better Than Being A Beginner by susieq112 Pros: Easy To Follow Lessons, Lots of Info and Help Packed Into A Small Package
Cons: None So Far... When my documentary teacher told us that we were responsible for producing our own documentary by the end of the semester, I was a bit taken aback. When the class description said that a documentary would be produced, I thought they meant one as a group ...

Simon Cowell Delivers a Christmas Present With Il Divo's Christmas Collection by bilbopooh Pros: four wonderful voices, reverent tone
Cons: Over the Rainbow seems out of place, four voices sometimes seem in competition Opera really isn’t my preferred style of music. Nonetheless, I’ve caught Il Divo on morning shows several times, and I’ve enjoyed the performances by this quartet put together by famous American Idol meanie Simon Cowell. ...

Restore Yourself to Desktop by breakbeet Pros: Let's flip some freakin cars!!!
Cons: Lyrics aren't exactly poetry. A radio show I enjoy listening to has a little segment halfway through its 2 hour duration titled "So Bad, It's Good!" If it was an electronic instead of a goth rock show, I can't help but feel they would have played Atari Teenage Riot at some point. ...

This Leapfrog Activity Story Book is mostly for fun by texas-swede Pros: Fun, interactive games, exciting story, action packed drawings.
Cons: Not as educational as some other Leap Frog Tag Reading System books. We recently bought a Leap Frog Tag Reading System for our nephews in Wisconsin as well as a few Leap Frog Activity books including this one. Before we sent it I took the freedom to install the batteries and down load audio files for the books that we had ...

A Glimpse of What's to Come: Three Early Scorsese Shorts by JiggyJay Pros: All of 'em are watchable and good, great subject matter and execution
Cons: Certainly not for everyone. My Martin Scorsese class has ended and what I have left after my teacher's enthusiastic teaching is a better understanding of Scorsese's genius. All three of these short films were mandatory watching in the class, but don't let that fool you that they ...

"INVICTUS": BEAUTIFUL TALE OF RECONCILIATION by mike.holmes Pros: Excellent acting, excellent script and great direction
Cons: None Clint Eastwood is a masterful director who really doesn't use many "tricks". He tells his tales in a straight-forward manner and let's us decide the importance of the story. "Invictus" is just such a movie. The story is told in a fairly ...

"Last of the Mohicans Soundtrack" A Great Movie Made Better With Great Music. by Pandemonium Pros: Some beautiful orchestra play and some very romantic themes.
Cons: Some songs tend be a little repetitive with others with small changes. The best word to describe the soundtrack to the movie The Last of the Mohicans" is simply "beautiful". I have always said that a good movie can only be great if it has a great soundtrack to accompany it. Well, this movie does and it is a great ...

Ridley Scott counters George Lucas by dolphinboy Pros: Sigourney Weaver, the look, the terror, the surprises
Cons: The story is not very complex, although it hints at complexity. In 1979, I went to the movie theater and was frightened numerous times. Alien is a truly creepy movie, that will make you jump back several times. Why?In 1977, the world was introduced to the Star Wars series. ...

Forced to think that hell is a place called home. by jeff_wilder78 Pros: It's the film of the year.
Cons: May be too harrowing for some people. I try not to get into the debate between what constitutes a movie and a film. To me both are valid forms. Although I read the book "Film Snob's Dictionary" I do not consider myself a snob. I love indie films and I find many of them to be superior to ...

A cult classic in the making by musicc Pros: Unintentional hilarity, nonstop laughter, to it's credit decent visual effects and sound
Cons: Horrendously bad on just about all accounts First off, I take back everything I said about 2012 for being illogical. Compared to Dragon Wars, that movie is Shakespeare. Dragon Wars, (or D Wars for short) is one of the worst, poorly edited, illogical mess of a film I think I have ever seen. Think ...

You really have to like independent film ... by paulsavage Pros: Interesting enough plot, bold attempts at dark humor
Cons: May be tasteless to some, not a tight story We watch movies to be entertained, duh. Meaning, though, we want the movie to do nearly all of the work. People who have a taste for independent film have developed the ability to become a partner to the film, willing to give it some energy to help it ...
