Not Magnificent, but these men and their flying machines will raise a chuckle or two... by captaind Pros: Reasonably fun and good ensemble cast...

It's a rather overlong movie and sadly lacking in genuine laughs, yet it retains a ...

Once Upon A Time In Louisiana by pmills1210 Pros: Some good performances, especially from Belafonte, Burton, and Haysbert
Cons: Jenner is too old for the role; story lacking in development and energy The Civil Rights movement and the 24th Amendment brought change, often reluctantly, to people who often found themselves segregated on the basis of color.

Sin ingrained in the culture by mcrowl Pros: Jacobs' books are always well written: this is not exception.
Cons: It's not easy to see what his conclusion is. Alan Jacobs is an author I enjoy – his The Narnian (a combined life and discussion of C S Lewis) was superb. Shaming the Devil, a book of essays, wasn’t just written well, and readably, and wisely, ...

Archaeologically Informative Drama by bvckvs Pros: Engaging, entertaining and somewhat educational.
Cons: First two-thirds of book slowly setup for a long conclusion. While the drama was entertaining, the education was engaging.Although tech manuals and text books are my standard faire, I enjoyed this murder mystery quite well. This is probably because of how jam-packed it was with stuff that only an ...

Snakes Alive! by mcrowl Pros: Real page-turner and plenty of style.
Cons: A little improbable, but not unacceptably so. Bolton is a relative newcomer to the thriller scene, but in this, her second novel, she writes with the assurance and style of an old pro. Lancashire-born, she had a career in London’s financial district before leaving the City to work as a ...
