Decade by Duran Duran
Celebrate the 80s the right way in the Decade of Duran Duran.
by tjhassecrets
Pros: Great collection of 80s hits from Duran Duran, especially for beginners; little to no remixing!
Cons: The album's only new single is missing; nothing here for hardcore fans.
You didn't think I was done, did you?The way Duran Duran operates as a band is weird. In my eyes, they always provide cohesive album after cohesive album, picking a genre or a style and making sure it's the only one through-out the record. ...

Classic Sinatra II: You've Heard the Best, Now Hear the Rest
by DrFaustus
Pros: Sinatra's classic voice at the height of his musical prowess
Cons: very few of the tracks are must-have hits
The recent passing of Michael Jackson has got me thinking about musical superstars. A few years ago I would have thought that there would always be someone around making music that the whole world could unite around. Recent years, though, have seen the ...

Punisher: War Zone
Punisher: War Zone — Even Jigsaw's Appearance Can't Help Solve This Puzzling Film
by elvisdo
Pros: The closest movie version of the Punisher that resembles the comic book
Cons: Thin plot; I actually fell asleep watching this
All it took was one bad day to make Frank Castle wage his personal war against crime. However, the way he goes about doing it is downright nasty and brutal. There is a reason why he calls himself the Punisher and you do not want to get on his bad side. ...

Secret
The Secret - This is not a freaky friday
by phungus
Pros: Olivia Thirlby was amazing
Cons: A little too much sexual tension
The Secret is a really interesting movie starring David Duchovny as a grieving father who finds his teenage daughter possessed with the spirit of his dead wife. It's a remake of a Japanese movie, and this is not some quirky Freaky Friday ...

Distinguished Gentleman
Blame the Public, not the Politicians?
by bigtruckseries
Pros: a humorous look at just how pathetic Washington has become.
Cons: the movie loses its edge when it becomes a romantic comedy.
I believe George Carlin said it best: "politicians don’t fall out of the sky. They don’t  pass through a membrane from another reality. They come from American parents, American families, American schools, American businesses and ...

Porky's - The Ultimate Collection
Putting the R in Raunchy
by KingpinLJC
Pros: some interesting subtext in the first two movies, a few appealing characters
Cons: all three movies have very few laughs between them, hateful towards women
The late Bob Clark's Porky's is the first R rated movie I remember sneaking up in the middle of the night to watch as a child. I was roughly eight years old, was just discovering the female form, and somehow figured out that Porky's was the ...

X-Men Origins: Wolverine
This Movie Sucks
by videodude
Pros: Wolverine and company on screen
Cons: Doesn't live up to hype, lazy storyline, characters are just story relevance, rips off Superman
I had a lot riding on Wolverine, hoping that it would meet my expectations. But what I saw of it and took away from it was this: it's a committee made movie without soul, without passion.I don't want to sound like a bitter and jaded fanboy who ...

Robert Buettner - Orphan's Triumph
A Satisfying Conclusion to the Jason Wander Series
by cbaker8887
Pros: Good ending to the series.
Cons: Does not quite live up to the first two books in the series.
Orphan’s Triumph is the fifth and last book of the Jason Wander series.  The series started off with Jason Wander as an orphaned, directionless, wayward young man given the choice between jail and the army.  The Earth had been attacked by ...

Tokyo!
Oh no, there goes Tokyo ... Go, Go, Gondry and Co.
by andaryl
Pros: 3 entertaining stories, 3 good directors, intelligent thematic consistency
Cons: Nothing major
Tokyo! was an interesting concept that got limited theatrical release earlier this year and went largely ignored. It’s an often tried formula of three short vignettes, brought together under one theme. Here the theme is the city of Tokyo, although ...

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
Entertaining But Not Life Changing

Pros: Good special effects, good action sequences

52 Pick-Up
The Power of Scheider
by KingpinLJC
Pros: Scheider, Glover, solid writing and directing
Cons: Ann-Margaret, some dated elements
Upon reading about Roy Scheider's death, I had not realized he was 42 when Jaws was released. I guess it was because I felt, no matter how much time passed and how many movies he made, Scheider never really looked to me like he was aging. It was if he ...

Pros: Chicago; soundtrack; attractive TV stars
Cons: script; acting
Blame it on a girlfriend who reluctantly loaned me 1999's Three To Tango. It's not that she was so choked up with being separated from it, but rather that she wasn't choked up at all and wondered if she should be bothering me with it. Alas, I ...

Brad Kelln - In Tongues of the Dead
A Mediocre Religious Thriller
by cbaker8887
Pros: Fast paced action.
Cons: A few banal, almost farcical characters and plot devices.
In Tongues of the Dead is not quite a The Da Vinci Code rip-off, but it is another in a long line of mediocre to poor novels trying to sponge off the success of The Da Vinci Code and the reading public's fascination with the mysteries surrounding ...

Bulldozers by Jean Eick -- a Good Choice for the Truck-Crazy Toddler

Cons: Too simple for reading to some kids, not the greatest pictures
How many small children do you know that love heavy machinery? I don't know what kind of percentage of children absolutely love trucks, bulldozers, and other such equipment, but I know it has to be a pretty high portion of the 3-5 population. At any ...

Cons: Only briefly mentions other views in the introduction
Schoolchildren throughout the United States only get a vague notion of Guy Fawkes Day...in fact, just about enough to know that there is such a day and that it's celebrated in England, but little else. I'd guess that children in at least a couple other ...
