The Lost Symbol (2009): You may find yourself as The Lost Reader by Ed.Williamson Pros: Intermittent flashes of brilliance.
Cons: Long, redundant, in places in-credible. And did I mention that it was long? Writer Dan Brown has a particular gift for tapping into the interests of contemporary world culture and creating stories which are compelling and highly salable, if not, perhaps, always enduring, and not always credible. With The Lost ...

Going Lean-N-Mean On The Deluxe Version Of “Circus;” No Better Than The One-Disc Version! by wlswarts Pros: Extra DVD, Two extra songs which are bound to please fans.

A Slice of Seventies by spelvini Pros: risk-taking perf by George Segal in a potentially hopeless film
Cons: the script doesn't have a big enough arc George Segal as hustler Jay Jay begins Born To Win with a monologue, speaking to an unknown person off-screen. "They say I'm a charmer... that I charm the people I hustle. Well, that comes after dealing with women, after hairdressing. I love to ...

The More I Keep Watching "Sex And The City," The Less I Like It:"Season Three." by wlswarts Pros: A few moments of humor, DVD bonus features
Cons: All of the characters become unlikable, Repetitive plots Sometimes, I wonder why I put myself through such things for reviewing. When my mother got into "Sex & The City" in syndication, I began getting her in the boxed set DVDs and as she finished them, I would try to get through them. But with the third ...

Getting medieval on 14th century Christianity by spunky98 Pros: Skilfully written, elegantly plotted, peopled with near-breathing characters, in a world of faith and superstition.
Cons: Close to 500 pages, but that's standard these days -- for fantasy novels! Author Karen Maitland sets her story of spiritual devotionand the ravages of partriarchal religious organizations in the early decades of the 14th century in England. The novel's focus is an English village, Ulewic, and a group of women calling ...

Italian Neorealism Takes a Hard-Hitting View of the Camorra Crime Syndicate by andaryl Pros: Harshly realistic, Unglorified observations, Real world feel
Cons: Slow at first and tough to follow Gomorrah (2008) Over the years gangsters have always made for great movie material, spawning several of the widely acclaimed classics. In return, the movies have also served to dramatize and romanticize the gangster lifestyle. ...

I’m gonna go write a screenplay called “Zombie Hookers”! by truckturner Pros: One of the better Z-grade zombie comedies
Cons: See Pros. The plot? It’s got zombie strippers (infected by a virus resulting from a government screw-up by a fourth term Dubya Bush trying to cut corners on an increasing demand for troops overseas) in a club run by uber-opportunistic Robert Englund, who ...

Your DSLR Can "Own The Night " If You Know How by rorsteven Pros: Lots of night photography ideas with inspiring images.

The End of Woody and his Young, Sexy Love Interests – Hollywood Ending by Goatius Pros: Good performances from Allen, Messing, Leoni, funny gags, decent plot
Cons: Comes apart a bit by the end Okay, maybe it was getting a bit ridiculous that Woody Allen still could play the lead role in his movies by 2002, while casting hot young actresses as his love interests. This is the last time (to date) that he did this, in the Tinseltown ...

Ice Cube continues to Kill at Will! by pirate_captain Pros: Some of these songs are career highlights for Ice Cube.
Cons: All of the songs could have been included in AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted. Ice Cube had parted ways with N.W.A after feeling that he was cheated out of his cut by Jerry Heller. Now it was 1990, where was he going to get help for production? He went to the east coast and recruited the Bomb Squad (Public Enemy's production team) ...

Bedtime Stories...A Film That Seems "Underdemeciated" by coldsteel7 Pros: Excellent acting, strong characters, interesting concept, good plot lines, decent special effects.
Cons: First ten minutes were shaky before settling in for a great story. Let me start by expressing my dislike for Adam Sandler. I have liked a couple of his films in the past, but his slapstick funny voice style of humor reminds me more of the kid that interrupts his class trying to be a class clown than a serious ...

An enormously talented prose stylist? by veganime  Pros: Interesting premise, adorable photograph of a dog on the cover, creative title, quirky minor character.

Two towering performances...but poor direction & script by rmurray847 Pros: Gabourey Sibide and especially Mo'Nique in a must-see performance.
Cons: Amateurish direction and Lifetime Movie of the Week script. Two absolutely blistering performances make PRECIOUS a must-see movie…despite many other flaws. In fact, were it not for the work of Gabourey Sidibe and Mo’Nique, I would probably not recommend the film. PRECIOUS plays something ...

This Plum Pudding Doesn't Flame, It Fizzles by befus Pros: Return to Lake Eden; Moishe's still cute
Cons: Formula is wheezing; mystery is cookie-wafer thin Although Joanne Fluke's best-selling Hannah Swensen mystery series (with recipes!) is clearly doing quite well, I don't think she has many fans in my small town. At any rate, there's not a huge demand for them at our little library. I always seem to ...

Hey, Teacher! Leave Those Kids Alone! (30th Anniversary Review) by thevoid99 Pros: Production, Sound Effects, Arrangements, Performances, Vocals, Lyrics, & Concept.
Cons: None though Incomplete in Some Parts for Fans. When the music period of the 1970s was ending, it was the end of a period that was glorious, decadent, and creative. With the decade ending, many music genres were going away while some were starting to flourish. Progressive rock had indulged itself ...
