Beautiful Bones without Hormones
Beautiful Bones Without Hormones: A Lost Review From 2005
by jankp
Pros: lots of great information; very helpful; recipes
Cons: nothing significant; it's a bit dated
NOTE - I first published this in January 2005, but as I slogged through my pages of reviews I needed to move many book reviews to new homes for accessibility. A number of them had no place to be moved to and weren't worth requesting that a home be added, ...

She Creature
Salty Dog
by spelvini
Pros: titilating mermaid fantasy tale with a kick
Cons: the ending ties it all up pointlessly
There are some thrilling moments in this Cinemax made-for-TV film with particularly chilling sequences of a half-woman half-fish character, captured by a carnival for a sideshow exhibit.  With a top-notch cast and interesting script She Creature is ...

Only the Valiant
The Dirty Half-Dozen at an Arizona Thremopylae
by Stephen_Murray
Pros: Peck, Bond, Chaney; taut pacing
Cons: Payton, print transferred to DVD; loose end (in Civil War refighting)
Between 1948 and 1958 Gregory Peck starred in half a dozen westerns. I have not seen “The Purple Plain” (1954), but the other five forged the more psychologically complex “adult western” genre (“adult” not in the sense ...

Stephenie Meyer - Twilight
What's all the fuss over?
by ieatmangoalso
Pros: Fast read
Cons: characters are shallow, writing is not that great.
By now, who hasn't heard of the Twilight series? After this series created such a whirlwind, I decided I should check this book out and see what all the hype was about! The book is targeted at teens and is a vampire love story. The book starts ...

Dead Space: Downfall
The guilty pleasures of the ElectroHippy, part 2. 62%
by electrohippy
Pros: Pretty faithful to the game's setting and has very entertaining violence.
Cons: Plot is pretty weak and character development is practically non-existent.
  While I normally like to go into a good amount of depth into my reviews, I'm keeping this one a little short since there really isn't a lot to explain for Dead Space Downfall. Dead Space Downfall serves as a prequel to the hit video ...

Triangle
Too Many Cooks, Not Enough Chefs: Triangle
by Mike_Bracken
Pros: To's segment is at least somewhat interesting.
Cons: The whole of the film feels aimless and disjointed.
With a marquee line up of Hong Kong cinema talent (Tsui Hark, Ringo Lam, Johnnie To, Simon Yam, etc.) one would expect great things from Triangle. Unfortunately, the film serves mainly to prove that sometimes you can really have too much of a good ...

Saviour Machine I by Saviour Machine
Christian gothic metal.....best oxymoron ever? Maybe not.
by nocturne2112
Pros: A true classic of Christian metal; gripping, original, emotional and musically sound.
Cons: Doesn't quite compare with the musical epic that is their Legend series.
For many years Christian music in general has been looked upon by the majority of discerning music fans as unworthy of consideration. Either it's mediocre musically, too preachy lyric-wise, or simply unremarkable in a world with many thousands of bands ...

Terminator

Pros: Arnold Schwarzenegger nude.  Michael Biehn nude.  Linda Hamilton nude.  Hard Core SCI FI.
Cons: Dated.  So is Gone With the Wind.
The Terminator (1984) Directed by James Cameron.  Harlan Ellison whined like B*tch until he was credited with the original idea, true or not. "Listen, and understand. That terminator is out there. It can't be bargained with. It ...

For every rock musician, the dream is to play with their friends, get signed, and go through everything that comes with rock stardom. Yet, not everyone gets that chance as early members of famous bands would end up forced to see that their former ...

Shine a Light
The Stones Lit By Scorsese...but Not On Fire. We Can't Set Mick Jagger on Fire.
by JiggyJay
Pros: Huge selection of songs, energetic, proves the Stones are still alive
Cons: Strictly for fans, not enough "documentary", not tangible (just rocking)
I think that The Rolling Stones are super humans who actually died ten years ago. In Scorsese's 2008 rockumentary, Shine A Light, Mick Jagger and crew still have the enthusiasm and vigor they had twenty, thirty years ago. This is a time capsule of ...
