Simpatico : Did I like this movie? Neigh! by ladyconsumer Pros: Cute concept, using two actors for each main character.
Cons: The plot was bizarre, the performances weak, and the pace way too slow. Simpatico < b>tries to be an exciting drama, involving blackmail and corruption in the sport of horseracing. But it fails. Instead, we have a slow-paced drama with a plot that doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Twenty years ago, Vinnie, ...

Courting Trouble : Don't go to any trouble obtaining this book. by ladyconsumer Pros: The main trial was pretty interesting.
Cons: But Anne is one of the most annoying main characters ever! Lisa Scottoline gives us Courting Trouble< b>, a story that's supposed to be part thriller, part courtroom drama. But the main character is so silly, stupid, and unlikable that I could not feel invested in her problems. It's true that Anne ...

Worlds Afire: Janeczko’s Poems of the Circus Fire of 1944 by keithpruitt Pros:
Engaging freestyle poetry, concrete description, true story Cons: Tragic story, disturbing for younger children Children love the circus. This has been true every since Barnum began the greatest show on earth. But an event took place in Hartford, Connecticut in 1944 that changed the circus forever. A fire broke out (perhaps set) killing 167 people (mostly women ...

Lisa Loeb's Less Inspired Outing: The Book/CD "Catch The Moon." by wlswarts Pros: Vocals are decent, "Stop And Go" is interesting
Cons: Poor replayability, Phrasing in book is awkward, Short, Somewhat uninspired musical choices. For those who might not know, the way that I manage to live these days as a writer and a reviewer and still review about twenty compact discs a month is that I have a pretty awesome local library which seems to get a perverse thrill out of filling ...

Cons: You aint got time to read 'em all; take yur time, pick a good one... ...Sequels are always a dicey business. Trying to catch lightning in a bottle the second time can be a tricky task. The fiction sequel needs to rework old characters, settings, and story lines into a completely new menu. The nonfiction ...

The Clipse Presents...More of Themselves by balogun Pros: For the hardcore faithful, it’s more guilty-pleasure coke tales.
Cons: At this point, how relevant—artistically in particular—are Clipse and Co. in the rap game? There really isn rsquo;t much difference between the Clipse and the Re-Up Gang. In fact, the latter is simply the Clipse mdash;plus two members. < p> Not that it was meant to be, anyway. Embroiled in a litigation quagmire with their record label ...

A Genuine American Masterpiece by jsommersby Pros:
Bravura handling of such tricky material. Cons: Nothing -- really. Masterfully written for the screen and directed by L.Q. Jones, the post-apocalyptic sci-fi fantasy A Boy and His Dog< i> is bereft of fancy special effects and reliant instead on character and incident to carry the show. Taken from award-winning ...

You May Never Leave The Black Circus by wolfman309 Pros:
A great heavy dark metal masterpiece. Cons: They won't be back here till 2010! There is something that draws us to the macabre. The world of Stephen King and H.P. Lovecraft. The place in our mind that makes us turn on the lights as the sounds of the night prickles the hairs on the back of you neck. This album takes you on a trip to ...

Back from Hell, Metallica Reclaims Their Metal Throne by thevoid99 Pros: Production, Performance, Lyrics, Songs, Structures, Instrumentals, & Arrangements.
Cons: Mixing is a Bit Off on the Bass in the CD version. Since the release of their full-length debut album Kill ‘Em All, Metallica changed the face of metal by taking the speed energy of punk and the driving riffs of metal's previous forefathers like Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, and Iron ...

Stamp This Book Right Out of Your To Be Read Pile by carstairs38 Pros: Some of the supporting characters were good.
Cons: I didn't like the majority of the characters; poor plot At one point, my whole family was into rubber stamping. We'd make all our own cards. And we had a blast doing it. So when I noticed that a stamping themed mystery series was coming, I quickly put it on my must read list. Unfortunately, I'm sorry I ...

The Rocker – "Rock Band" Movie Starring Rainn Wilson by t13monkeys Pros: good casting, light-hearted fun to watch flick
Cons: not much depth or conflict, predictable, humor on and off at times Rainn Wilson (Dwight Schrute of The Office) has been gradually starting to ramp up to a film career (The Last Mimzy, My Super Ex-Girlfriend), but he’s doing it the wrong way by taking on roles that don’t seem to make full use of his funny ...

Hold your tacos and go see Beverly Hills Chihuahua! by bradshawcl Pros: sweet, predictable, friendly kids movie
Cons: shines a bad light on Dobermans. Some may not care for the predictability. I knew when I heard that Disney was coming out with a Chihuahua movie, that we would have to go see it. Turns out it was coming out the week we were on fall break, so I figured it would be a good time to go to the theater and see Beverly Hills Chihuahua. ...

The DVD was of a movie I had heard of before, again through my parents. Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West< i> was a ...

"Tonight makes love to all your kind." by deadmilkboy Pros:
The Mats are a potent power(pop) trio on this 1987 album, newly remastered and expanded. Cons: The production is unlike anything Replacements fans have heard before. Tim came out in 1985 on a major label, but it didn't exactly transfer well into mainstream recognition for The Replacements. Whether it was the defiantly static music video for "Bastards of Young" or their infamous appearance on Saturday ...

Because engineers create products that will affect thousands—if not millions or billions—of individual lives, there is a burden upon them to undertake their activities in a responsible manner. This fact was recognized by various engineering ...

The Hangman Cometh by Bruguru Pros: Very interesting premise, realistic characterizations.
Cons: Some of the author's ideas are a stretch. Reinhard "Hangman" Heydrich was one of the most ruthless members of the Nazi regime. Head of the dreaded SD (Sicherheitsdienst, or security service), he was a principal behind the bloody Night of the Long Knives when the leaders of the rival paramilitary ...

Wading through the plethora of discs on the market, every now and then a real gem turns up. Amazing Journey: The ...

Maher's Broadside at Blind Faith. by mickp Pros: Entertaining and easy to watch. Asks questions many of us have privately asked for years.
Cons: Obviously one-sided, but can't argue with any of it. Impossible issue to please everyone. Coming as I do from Australia where the “big issues” are different and the political centre of gravity isn’t quite the same, my position as a “middle of the road conservative” by Australian standards isn’t quite ...
