_Japan Took the J.A.P. Out of Me:_ Or the Chronicle of a Spoilt Brat by telynor Pros: Not much. Peter doesn't deserve a woman like this.
Cons: The narrator is a conceited, whining child. Every now and then I do a bit of impulse shopping, especially when I hit the bookstore. I can't help it, it?s one of my besetting vices. So when I passed by this vivid display of books, and spotted this one, about the adventures of a Jewish American ...

Two Good Episodes, Still A Tired Medium: "Monty Python's Flying Circus" Volume 3! by wlswarts Pros: Funny episodes, Good chemistry in the troupe members
Cons: Not the absolute best from the men, Medium issues. There is something amusing about writing a review of a product and then the next day coming upon the opportunity to write a review where the connection would not otherwise be evident. Such is the case for me now, as I consider "Monty Python's Flying ...

The Soloflex Story is a must read by soloflexforavr  Pros: Not another boring "how I got rich" book.
Cons: Would have liked to see more details on the less common products. It was an excellent read, far more entertaining than I anticpated. It is nice when something exceeds your expectations. Soloflex founder Jerry Wilson is a really down to Earth guy with a keen sense of both adventure and entepreneurship. It is an ...

There's a New Moon. Sparkly Vampires can Swallow the Sun. by shopaholic_man Pros: Great gothic sounding melodic doom/death metal from Finland
Cons: May be confused with a movie about Bella and Edward. Lately it seems that I am purchasing albums by bands whose newest release is named after a current hot movie. Last month I picked up Steve Vai's Where the Wild Things Are. It was an excellent album too. Last week, I noticed that ...

Fiona Apple Sleepwalks Her Way Through A Surprisingly Good EP: “Across The Universe.” by wlswarts Pros: Good songs
Cons: Short, Uses the title track twice For those who follow my many reviews, I am a fan of Fiona Apple . . . and not a fan of c.d. singles. It takes a lot to get me to praise a c.d. single, so the fact that I am on the fence between a three and a four on an EP is a pretty big deal for me. ...

They might promise you that the river ain't deep by GregRadiohead Pros: In retrospect, a really good and successful collaborative release, especially the non-single tracks
Cons: 'Left Hand Suzuki Method' is a throwaway bonus track Everyone's lasting memory of the Gorillaz project is probably the animated video for 'Clint Eastwood'; failing that, it's that the band is made up of four comic book/cartoon characters who serve as fronts for the brains behind the scenes. The danger of ...

Smith Struggles To Stay Relevant In An Apatow-Dominated Comedy Environment by JiggyJay Pros: Great cast, a lot of funny gags (pun intended), Smith's usual charm, his growth
Cons: Cut and paste Apatow, cheesy love story (I won't be the first to say so) When I saw Kevin Smith's Q&A a few months ago in Seattle, a question was brought to his attention referring to his last film, 2008's Zack and Miri Make A Porno, and how it proved to be Seth Rogen's lowest grossing movie he made and the overall ...

Lush Orchestra and an Amazing Voice on These Christmas Favorites by carstairs38 Pros: Beautiful orchestra, fun arrangements, "Carol of the Bells."
Cons: Not quite as great as her first Christmas release; few original songs Back in the 90's, Sandi Patty was still an automatic buy for me, so when she came out with a second Christmas release, I didn't hesitate to get it. I hoped it would recapture the magic of her first Christmas release. While it didn't do that, ...

One F**ked Up Porn Star: Annabel Chong's Life Revealed in SEX by xxxxer Pros: A consistently fascinating portrait of the adult business
Cons: The film is very dark and depressing at times, and quite graphic Gough Lewis's 1999 documentary Sex: The Annabel Chong Story may be one of the most disturbing documents of the adult film industry ever produced. The film follows the life of Grace Quek, a Singapore-born seemingly normal college student ...

One-Armed Goose vs. Kung Fu Panda by truckturner Pros: Voices, humour, Po, references, colour, concept

Texan teens get their sex, drugs & rock and roll going on by jurgrace Pros: Funny "slice of life" film filled with "before they were stars"; Great soundtrack
Cons: Heavy drug content, profanity and sexual innuendo likely to offend some In 1993, I was a fifteen year old who enjoyed classic rock and shopping at thrift stores for vintage gear. Naturally, I saw Richard Linklater's Dazed and Confused several times after it came out that year. Not having seen the movie in a few years, ...

A Worthwhile Failure: Piers Haggard's VENOM by xxxxer Pros: A great cast; nice photography; some neat plot devices
Cons: Scripting ultimately fails to deliver on any of the thrills or horrific elements provided Following the success of his 1974 classic The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, director Tobe Hooper was much sought after by the mainstream horror industry who was looking for talent. In 1981, Hooper embarked on an American-produced thriller that ...

Pieces is a foolish but fun piece of horror sleaze by denisenoe Pros: A fun atmosphere in a film that does not take itself seriously. A surprise villain.
Cons: Plot incoherence together with direction, screenplay, and acting that are mediocre. Pieces opens in 1942 with a boy of about ten putting together a jigsaw puzzle. Appearing a picture of innocence, the boy recites "Humpty Dumpty" while music suggesting a child's music box plays in the background. The boy's mother enters the room and ...

BLACK DYNAMITE - we can dig it! by desslok Pros: One of the best Laugh-out-loud comedies I've seen in years
