Fireball by Deep Purple (CD, 2008, Warner Bros.)
Blazing!
by travinsky
Pros: "Fireball" is a pure burst of energy packed with great tunes!
Cons: Only that I did not discover it sooner!
It was Christmas, 2010, and my husband gave me a great stocking stuffer of a gift: "The Very Best of Deep Purple."  Needless to say, the album and I became inseparable over the next, few days!  After I discovered how much I liked Deep ...

I LOVED watching the first season again!!! AHH...memories!
by tiffkopNew Member
Pros: drama, love, friendship, entertaining
Cons: Does show surgery, not real bodies, but might bother some people
Ok to begin, I have NEVER missed an episode of Grey’s Anatomy. It may have been a day late but I’ve seen it. When it first came out in 2006, I was in college and we all had Sunday nights off from work and had a “Grey’s ...

Blow Your Pants Off [PA] by Jimmy Fallon (CD, Jun-2012, Warner Bros.)
Hold Onto Your Pants
by donkee
Pros: Hilarious songs and impersonations, celebrity duets...
Cons: ...could've been a bit longer.
I have a decade-long love affair with Jimmy Fallon. I first fell in love with him back during his run on Saturday Night Live; sure, he ended up collapsing into fits of laughter during every sketch he was in, but it always made me laugh, ...

The Faculty (Blu-ray Disc, 2012)
All teachers are weird when we're their students.
by cmrok93
Pros: Fun to watch at times, if only because of the cast.
Cons: Too predictable, which is disappointing.

Friday the 13th - Part 7: The New Blood
Jason vs. a Carrie knockoff - Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood
by brendan2
Pros: uh... the makeup
Cons: pretty much everything else
Despite its title, there's nothing particularly new about Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood.  The film gets off to a bad start with a cheesy voiceover narration accompanying flashbacks to the previous movies.  (The flashback ...

Pros: Lots of action, lots of pretty girls, Connery's last good Bond film
Cons: Lack of Special Features on this particular Bond DVD
While orbiting Earth, a United States space capsule disappears after an unidentified spacecraft appears on NASA’s radar. The Americans naturally blame the Soviet Union, who vehemently deny any involvement. The British, however, believe that the ...

Cowboy BeBop: Vitaminless by Original Soundtrack (CD, Apr-2002, Phantom Import Distribution)

by xxxxer
Pros: "The Real Folk Blues," amazing performances and compositions; good variety
Cons: Most of the material here is included elsewhere and is generally unremarkable
Even before the Cowboy Bebop anime series had finished its initial TV run, recordings of the show's soundtrack were landing on store shelves and it really isn't hard to see why considering how important (and awesome) this program’s ...

Cirque du Fromage
by divad23
Pros: Their retro dance/pop sound still sparkles. More stylistically consistent than Walking on a Dream.
Cons: Ludicrously cheesy lyrics. Two melodramatic ballads are definite low points.
It's been five long years since we last heard from the Australian electro-retro-pop duo Empire of the Sun. Or at least, since we heard from them in the form of an album. Their so-cheesy-it's-mysteriously-co ol style, as heard on their debut ...

Starship Troopers (DVD, 2003, Superbit)
OOOOOOOHHHHHH! Baathist Bugs are we!
by thewasp
Pros: Great special effects and irony
Cons: Too sickening to be really funny
The title of this review comes from a song sung by the "Baathist Bugs" in a parody of "Starship Troopers" that I began writing, but never finished, after getting out of the US Navy.  Since the bugs seemed to like deserts (or perhaps it was more ...

Kata Ton Daimona Eaytoy by Rotting Christ (CD, Mar-2013, Season of Mist)
Κata Τon Daimona Εaytoy: Dark Spells I Send You, The Antigod I Name You
by Freak369
Pros: Excellent presentation, rich lyrics, backing vocals.
Cons: Lacks a little bit of the true 'dark side' of the group.
Sometimes you have to take a little bit of flack when you admit that you like 'controversial' groups. I make no secret that I listen to a wide variety of music and some of it is in the death metal, black metal and doom metal genres. Does ...

Farrah Fawcett is Naked in a Fountain. Gere does not Deliver!
by yarnlady25
Pros: Gere is surrounded by beautiful women!
Cons: A lot of leading ladies that do not deliver in their acting roles.
This movie interested me because of the all star cast. I thought with all these leading ladies surrounding Richard Gere, Dr T and the Women would be a great movie. I was wrong, great stars do not always deliver great movies. The movie directed by Robert ...
