Defines the era by jasonajohnson  Pros: Excellent attention to detail. Nice mix of electronic styles. This album defines the time.
Cons: None. I got Daft Punk's Discovery for the same reason so many of my peers did, as we were impressed with their freshman album, "Homework". That, and "One More Time", the single, was growing quite popular in clubs at the time. Discovery was released in ...

Ghosts of Girlfriends Past - Not only Bad but Too Bad by coloradocatz Pros: Ummmmmm....none.
Cons: TOO much to name! Bad acting, bad writing, bad everything. As a Matthew McConaughey fan I thought this would be a cute comedy. What was I thinking? It was not just bad, but soooo bad. I rented it and was upset that I had spendt $.99 on this movie.What should have been a good ...

GI Joe action hits the big screen by xenoranger Pros: Action
Perspective Appeals to non-fan Cons: Some character's development Uninteresting special features Since 1964, GI Joe has made itself known to the American public. In 1982, the franchise launched a cartoon series that promoted the "Real American Hero". 2009 marked the release of the first, live-action film. I was quite surprised with the finished ...

You Really Got a Hold on Me by spelvini Pros: cinematography, and story make this a special film
Cons: open-ended and unresolved- where's the hope? Ermanno Olmi accomplishes a rare and genuine thing in his 84-minute film I Fidanzati by casting two ordinary people to occupy his movie and achieving a view of society that could be said to be a precursor to what today we call "reality" ...

Dismantling the Hills -- Poems of Crepuscular Concision by driftless Pros: Nature provides plenty of the source material. Brooding at times.
Cons: Reading poetry is hard work. Judging poetry is inherently challenging. As with any true art form, the viewer’s point of view and biases are such a large part of the experience that people are frequently going to disagree when critiquing a given work. I even ...

The Sun Certainly Sets on Twilight by ssjakira1 Pros: Skilled music
Cons: Uninspiring (to me), very little diversity Though I've not reviewed a soundtrack by Carter Burwell before, I've seen his name around plenty of times. Enough to know it when I spotted it. Surprisingly enough, I was referred to this soundtrack by a friend, whose musical tastes are a far ...

SMOOTH JAZZ WITH A LIGHT GROOVE by mike.holmes Pros: Pretty, smooth jazz with some groovy parts
Cons: Not enough passion for me, too few solos by fellow musicians Steven Eugene Grove uses the stage name Euge Groove for his brand of smooth jazz saxophone playing. Born in Oregon in 1962, Groove didn't record his first album as a leader until 2000. He has worked with Joe Cocker, Tina Turner and Tower of ...

The Butler Serves Up Some Serious Revenge In Law Abiding Citizen by chad8246 Pros: Butler is excellent, good action, intriguing plot, nice surprises
Cons: Violence can be oft-putting, unrealistic Sometimes fun and logic doesn't go hand in hand when it comes to motion pictures. While a film may be completely authentic or realistic it's quite possible that it could be as boring as watching paint dry. Other times, if you throw logic out the window, ...

Sociopath in the Jungle by msiduri Pros: Some interesting wildlife shots
Cons: Predictable story, ending. Oh, and the mustache twirling! The movie opens with scenes of various kinds of Amazonian wildlife, then of monkeys being caged. A comely young man flashes a sinister smile as he watches the monkeys, and laughs an evil laugh. If he had a mustache, he'd be twirling it. Terry ...

Superman and Batman EmbraceTheir Totalitarian Tendencies in "Absolute Power" by JediKermit Pros: Interesting alternate universe, examination of what makes Batman and Superman...use of obscure characters.
Cons: Dull artwork, too violent...but it's all temporary, right? One of the longest-standing conventions in comic books is the "alternate universe." Writers will tweak one event in the history of a character, and new stories will spill out of familiar characters and settings. For the 2005 story arc ...

Christmas Out of Control and the Amazing Christmas Extravaganza by pestyside Pros: Multiple messages, Illustrations and Rich imagery
Cons: The angry mob of neighbors could disturb young readers Obviously inspired by the movie Christmas Vacation and Clark Griswold's antics, author/illustrator David Shannon provides his version of excesses and holiday messages in this hysterical book about competition and misunderstanding as well ...

Stallone vs. Hauer by jsommersby Pros: Involving and taut.
Cons: Not the brightest bulb in the closet. It’s really a shame that the action-thriller Nighthawks is such a shambles in the screenplay department being that the workmanlike direction, acute editing and superb performances prove themselves highly virtuous with star Sylvester ...

Cirque Du Freak #3: What's a "vampaneze?" by ssjakira1 Pros: Mystery and danger!
Cons: *snicker* Vampaneze. I'm sorry, it just sounds goofy. Welcome to Darren Shan's Cirque Du Freak series. Located in the teen section of the bookstore, it's probably best left for them to read. Still, if you're interested in a bit of teen horror, it's not a bad series to check ...

The BIFF! POW! Batman Returns. by JediKermit Pros: Retro character design, more family-friendly than other Batman series, many team-ups.
Cons: Too campy for some. Last year saw the debut of a new version of Batman. Instead of being "The Dark Knight" that instills fear in the hearts of villains (and many children), Batman: The Brave and the Bold is about teamwork, heroism, and a bit of ...

Everything Doesn't Work Here by JiggyJay Pros: Larry David
Cons: Flat characters, dialogue, boring Woody Allen has, give or take, released a film every year since the sixties and I think over the past decade or so it's really shown. Personally, I like a few of his films--I find that if you've seen one Woody Allen film you've seen them all. Whatever ...

Four World of Warcraft Stories for the Price of Two! by shopaholic_man Pros: Fun fantasy reading for fans of Fantasy and World of Warcraft.
Cons: May not be as interesting by those who aren't familiar with Warfcraft I love to read, but I don't like to pay a lot for books. Truth be told, most of my reading is done via the library, or paperbacks I find for 0.25 to .50 cents at yardsales and flea markets each summer. Sometimes though, I want a particular book so it's ...

Stupidity ; Good Premise for Documentary Drowned by Shallow Quick Cut Clutter by ChrisJarmick Pros: Good premise. Some interesting word origins explained.
Cons: cluttered, shallow, quick cut, noisy, overly familiar footage used. At the start of the documentary Stupidity, people on the street are asked to define Stupidity and most cannot do it. Then, narrator, who sounds like Donald Sutherland informs us that a study of stupidity is over-due. There have ...

Sainthood, by Tegan and Sara by cdm72 Pros: "Hell" and "Northshore"
Cons: Uninspired, just not up to the standards set by the previous 2 records. I came pretty late to the Tegan and Sara party; they’d been making music nearly a decade when I first discovered them. I came in after the release of their masterpiece, 2007’s THE CON. Their usual method was to space their records ...

Michael Davis Moves Beyond the ABCs with Street Gang: The Complete History of Sesame Street by JediKermit Pros: Great biographical detail on Sesame Street's major players, characters, good behind-the-scenes work.
Cons: Whither Gordon? Some sections on funding are a bit dry... Today is the 40th Birthday of Sesame Street. Or, the 40th Anniversary of the first episode of Sesame Street, which debuted on November 10th, 1969. That means a lot of things to me, including that I'm getting older. ...

Man is Only Unhappy Because He Does Not Know He's Happy by Bruguru Pros: Keen insight into it's time, lively philisophical debates, Dostoyevsky's usual flair.
Cons: Rather drawn out, some flat characters. It takes a definite degree of dedication to undertake a Dostoyevsky novel. Of all the great Russian authors, Dostoyevsky has always seemed to me to be the darkest in tone, the most negative in outlook, and the most difficult to digest. And amongst all of ...
