The real drifter here is the plot by pyfr Pros: Watari makes a cool gangster. Fast-paced, bold in its direction, slightly nihilistic.
Cons: It took me longer than usual to figure out what was going on. As a long-time fan of Kinji Fukasaku's yakuza films, I recently figured it was time to step outside my comfort zone in order to answer the following question: do I like yakuza films in general, or am I just a Fukasaku fan? Because it's ...

On the fence about "Up in the Air" by willzyx  Pros: Great cast
Cons: story could've been more original Jason Reitman has proven me a little wrong, for now. With the enormous popular success of his first two pictures, "Thank You for Smoking," and "Juno," I felt that Reitman had quickly become one of Hollywood's most overrated directors. I found the humor ...

Good sense is needed- let's hope we've got men on the job by pyfr Pros: Not quite as hard on the ears as the first album. More lyrics and singing.

A thorough green building book by Shanti Pros: Superior in amount of information and its depth of green building knowledge.
Cons: As more of a textbook, it's a bit dry to read. I'm in a mode where I want to learn more about green building, but it's hard to know which book to turn to. I finally found an answer in"The Green Home: A Decision Making Guide for Owners and Builders." It seems like the most complete book I've come ...

'Rooms to Remember' is memorable by Shanti Pros: The author names the elements in the photos, so readers can recreate the look.
Cons: She works mostly with neutral colors, so there aren't a lot of bold ideas here. Whether you use Rooms to Remember as a treasure-house of inspiration for decorating your own home or simply as a nice-looking coffee table book to add ambiance to your home, "Rooms to Remember" is a great book to own. While many interior ...

This Neon Shines Brightly by PacManY2J Pros: A consistently enjoyable piece of grandiose rock

Bombastic, late-Romantic movie music by Stephen_Murray Pros: cello concerto from "Deception"
Cons: vocal bits of "The Sea Hawk" score There are two famous quotations about the music of Erich Wolfgang Korngold (1897-1957): the review of the violin concerto he wrote for Jascha Heifetz that it was “more corn than gold” and André Previn’s caution that it’s ...

Bizarre Biology by steelcorpfilms Pros: Bizarre and amusing in some places.
Cons: Pretty predictable, some bad acting. Despite having not made a movie in 16 years, Frank Henenlotter doesn't seem to have lost a step. Bad Biology is just as deranged, weird and funny as any of his other 'B' movies. And by 'B' movies, I'm not talking about the quality of them. I'm talking ...

Memories: A collection of dark Anime shorts. by yakkowarner Pros: Good stories, beautiful animation.
Cons: Magnetic rose is far from original. This is a series of 3 short anime films put together. It isn’t a feature length movie and each short film does have some flaws, but it is still a great DVD to own. The film was brought together by Katsuhiro Otomo. While it did have two ...

*DVD Reviews* Zorro: The Complete First & Second Seasons by LuigiB Pros: The original television adventures: uncut and uncolorized.
Cons: A Collector's Tin can only mean one thing: limited supply! In keeping up with their long and prestigious line of excellent Tin Box Sets, Disney has unleashed two new Walt Disney Treasures for collectors the world over to get all warm and fuzzy over. This time, though, the Tin Box Sets are black in color ...

*DVD Review* Death In The Garden (La Mort En Ce Jardin) by LuigiB Pros: One of Luis Buñuel's more obscure titles makes its way to DVD.
Cons: None, really (although it might not be as Buñuelian for some). I must confess that I really never expected to see a jungle drama from master surrealist Luis Buñuel. As it turns out, Senior Buñuel did make such a film in 1956, somewhere during his minimalist Mexican period. Although it is not as ...

*DVD Review* The Maiden Heist by LuigiB Pros: Christopher Walken, Morgan Freeman, and William H. Macy -- together.
Cons: Alas, it's not as good as it should have been. You’d think that a caper comedy with three powerful leads such as Christopher Walken, Morgan Freeman, and William H. Macy would make for some good times. Alas, The Maiden Heist presents itself as a comedy that you know is supposed to ...

*Blu-ray Review* American Pie Presents: The Book Of Love by LuigiB Pros: Eugene Levy and a handful of other cameos liven the film up.
Cons: Unfortunately, Levy and the other cameo stars are only in it for about ten minutes. So, who wrote The Book Of Love? Well, according to the makers of American Pie Presents: The Book Of Love, the mighty tome was written by none other than Eugene Levy. And who could argue with that, really? After all, Eugene Levy is ...

Parody Of A Perfect Film, "Something, Something, Something, Dark Side" Is No "Empire Strikes Back!" by wlswarts Pros: Funny, Moments of clever, Great DVD/Blu-Ray bonus features!
Cons: A lot of the humor falls flatter than in "Blue Harvest." Rather abruptly, fans who have been watching "Family Guy" learned about a little Christmas gift from the franchise: the second "Star Wars" parody! While the television release of the parody of "The Empire Strikes Back," entitled "Something, Something, ...

"Far be it From Me to Talk You Out of Your Paranoia." by carstairs38 Pros: Pays off previous two seasons with fast moving plot and dynamic characters
Cons: A couple of off episodes, most noticably "Grey 17 is Missing" Back in the mid-90's Babylon 5 was something different for TV. In the day were each episode was a story unto itself, Babylon 5 set out to tell one unified story over the course of five seasons. Heck, even today, that's ...

4.5 stars. A smart script coupled with George Clooney at the top of his game. by rmurray847 Pros: Clooney and all the other actors. Intelligent script.
Cons: "Exploration" of current economy is not as probing or biting as many seem to think. George Clooney is NOT a great actor. Seriously, can you picture him pulling of Shakespeare or something like the character Daniel Plainview in THERE WILL BE BLOOD? That’s not in him…and based on the roles he selects, is not ...

Chris Brown: Can he transform himself? by Monnie1976 Pros: Some good dance music. "Crawl" is a beautiful song.

Anytime I catch myself nodding my head to anything by him I find myself remembering that leaked picture of Rihanna’s ...
