Teeth
Attention All Men: Beware of the Vagina Dentata-- It bites!
by jbrd
Pros:

A very twisted film that has men, including me, scared to go near a vagina.


Cons: It will definitely offend those who are easily offended, but oh well, don't watch it!
Oh man! I have so many words and images *shudder* that pop in my head when I think about <i>Teeth</i>. I knew what I was getting myself into before I had bought Teeth, but it just blew my expectations to pieces! It went far beyond what I was ...

Curious George Plays Baseball Books
Curious George Plays Baseball || Million dollar bonus monkey...
by sleeper54
Pros: Follows the Curious George mold, no big surprises here.

Cons: Not a high re-read potential. No 'lessons learned' here.

...It is hard to imagine the rich literary legacy of Curious George was almost silenced by jackbooted Nazis nearly seventy years ago. As married German Jews living in Paris in the years prior to WWII, Hans Augusto (H. A.) and Margret Rey escaped ...

Picture Science: Using Digital Photography to Teach Young Children
Young Scientists Picture Science
by pestyside
Pros: Use of digital cameras in teaching pre-school science; lessons, layout
Cons: None
Three to six year olds are natural scientists and anyone who teaches this age need not be told. Early childhood science specialists have made this statement for years; curiosity might be greatest at these ages than at any other time in a person's ...

Stir of Echoes
Stir of Echoes - A Shirtless Kevin Bacon Faces The Supernatural
by dragonfire88
Pros: Bacon and rest of cast. Very well done, entertaining thriller.
Cons: Under appreciated. Might be too slow for some.
With some movies, I am not interested in seeing them for some reason and then I later change my mind. Stir of Echoes was one of those movies for me.Tom Witzky was a regular guy with a wife and young son, though he wasn't ...

Under the Sign of Hell by Gorgoroth
Simply missing something for me
by noktorn
Pros: Well written and ferociously played...
Cons: ...but I just can't get into it.
This is a Gorgoroth release I have more than a little trouble really getting into; for some reason it feels more primitive than the previous two albums, despite being musically and technically more complex in many ways. In yet another step away from ...

Antichrist by Gorgoroth
Very excellent black metal
by noktorn
Pros: Great writing, production, everything.
Cons: N/A
My opinion of Gorgoroth's first album is that it's essentially unbeatable perfection, but having acquired 'Antichrist', I have to say that their sophomore release honestly gives that seminal debut a legitimate run for its money. The second release ...

MTV Unplugged by Alicia Keys
"Unplugged" Is A 4.5 Star Gem, Delivered with More Matured Vocals, Passion, Finesse And Class.
by gds-777New Member
Pros: Her vocals are far more mature and the reduced arrangements play to the bands talents.
Cons: Adam Levine's nasal tone did not blend well with Alicia's voice.
I bought this CD because for me Alicia Keys is the best new artist to hit the airwaves since the "Police" in the late 1970's. Alicia's CD is a fine gem, here the slightly scaled back sound allows her vocals to shine. She proves what a fine ...

Elements of Corrosion * by Oppressor
Has nothing at all to do with The Groove Collective
by noktorn
Pros: Well composed, played, and produced death metal.
Cons: Relatively unremarkable.
Oppressor was a third-string death metal band that attained very (very, very) mild popularity in the mid-'90s before dissolving to the disappointment of about a dozen people. They're not amazing but in some ways they're a rather interesting footnote in ...

Vampire's Kiss
No bite to this story

Pros: Good acting and production values.
Cons:

It cannot decide if it's comedy or horror.


VAMPIRE'S KISS (1989) got favorable reviews from others but not from me. Maybe I'm too picky.This is a vampire movie but cannot decide whether it's a comedy or a thriller. There have been (a few) vampire comedies that were successes -- "Dracula - ...

Terry Turchie and Kathleen Puckett - Hunting the American Terrorist: The FBI's War On Homegrown Terror

Pros: Well written detailed account...
Cons: that is a bit self congratulatory at times.
Written by Terry D. Turchie and Dr. Kathleen M. Puckett this book chronicles the hunt for several American terrorists. Unlike traditional terrorists who operate in cells and therefore by sheer numbers could make mistakes leading to their capture, the ...

Carolyn Keene - The Clue in the Diary

Cons: Unrealistic elements, transparent elements
Written in 1933 by Mildred Wirt and Harriet S. Adams (using the pen name Carolyn Keene), this is the seventh in the original Nancy Drew series, which ran from 1930 to 1979. It seems to have been revised in 1962. Nancy is an amateur sleuth, forever 18, ...

Pros: Unique blend of two distinct cultures, Spanish used throughout

Babylon 5: The Complete Seasons 1-4

Pros: Gets consistently better, Story continues to develop, Abandons bottle episodes for strong serialization.
Cons: Packaging, Early bottle episodes, Incomplete stories
I have a pretty tremendous respect for the work of J. Michael Straczynski, at least when it comes to "Babylon 5." Straczynski and his creative team sought to put a novel on television. Over five years, they intended to tell one whole story as ...

Pop by U2
Yes, It Might Be As Bad As U2 Gets: "Pop" Doesn't.

Pros: Moments of musical intrigue, Three songs
Cons: Generally lousy lyrics, Uninspired music, Overproduced lyrics
Often, I advocate albums where the best tracks do not appear on "Best Of" albums that a band might have produced. So, if an album has truly wonderful tracks that were never singles or would not appear on a "Greatest Hits" album, I will often make ...

Keith Knapp - Moonlight

Pros: Easy to read, fun from beginning to end, minimal nudity
Cons: Some won't care for the profanity, gorehounds may be disappointed

Though this book is almost 500 pages, don't let that prevent you from reading it. There is a lot of space and the font is large. If this had been printed by most of the mass market crew this book would probably be in the 330-350 page range. Beyond ...

Same heavy/melodic mix but with more experimenting


Cons:

Loses momentum at some points


Sevendust have been known for quite a while as a tenacious, hardworking metal band. That description is more apt than ever, as they recently released their seventh album in eleven years, this time only 13 months after the release of its predecessor. ...
