Christmas in Connecticut
Kris Kristofferson Offers Authenticity Amidst Artifice in Christmas in Connecticut
by bilbopooh
Pros: Kristofferson, Arnott, gorgeous scenery, sweet movie
Cons: very slapsticky at times
When I think of Arnold Schwarzenegger, my first thought is Terminator, quickly followed by several other adrenaline-soaked action flicks. Then, of course, I remember that he is the governor of California, a position that certainly caught me by ...

Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett - Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch
Good Omens. (It’s Ineffable.)
by ssjakira1
Pros: A good deal of fun
Cons: Nothin' really (it can ramble a bit, but meh).
I wasn't going to let my distaste of American Gods spoil me on Neil Gaiman.  After all, there's more out there by Gaiman that I figured I'd ...

Brom - The Plucker: An Illustrated Novel
The Plucker and the Coolest Jack in the Box Ever
by ssjakira1
Pros: Dark, unique story, amazing illustrations
Cons: None
This is the kind of stuff I'd see while at work.  A large hardback book nestled among all those little mass market paperbacks and with very intriguing illustrations on the cover and on the inside.  It took me a while to get my hands on it, but ...

A Sexy Christmas
~~ SEX IT UP THIS HOLIDAY WITH A SEXY CHRISTMAS ~~
by kbolton72
Pros: Great voices, musings, and love
Cons: How much love can you really take, after all???
When you hear the word "Sex", the last thing that comes to your mind is "Christmas"! That is, unless, you get this cd! Hey, why not? You have the cozy fire, the smell of cinnamon and fresh pine, and you need the extra body heat, 'cause it's cold ...

Pros: Fun, creative sounds that will add hours of fun to your sound effect library
Cons: Annoying, many repetitives, not very long per effect
Wouldn't it be great to go back to the days when you were a kid, running around wild, making all sorts of crazy sounds with your super-loud toys, vroom vroom, vrooming??? Well, now you can be as obnoxious as you'd like with SOUND EFFECTS LIBRARY ...

Fall Be Kind [EP] [12/8] * by Animal Collective
What's nice about staying on the same pace?
by GregRadiohead
Pros: A fantastic companion piece/victory lap after the Merriweather album
Cons: None
It's surreal to think that it's already been nearly a near since Animal Collective released Merriweather Post Pavilion. I could just be thinking like a solipsist here, but 2009 has flown by, hasn't it? Nowhere has this felt more evident than in ...

Pros: Two wonderful songs.
Cons: Nothing original, Short, Poor use of the medium.
Those who know me well know that one of my favorite musical artists of all time is Sophie B. Hawkins, a pop-rock singer who has been more widely considered a “one hit wonder” (despite the fact that she has had two Top Ten hits in the United States). I ...

Watchmen
The Revisionist Superhero Done Right.
by truckturner
Pros: Style, characters, fascinating story, action, FX, visuals, music
Cons: Wilson, Akerman, Love triangle, poor makeup, weak villain
Despite a visual design that suggests 40s noir mixed with 50s glamour, the story is an alternate take on the 1980s in which President Richard Nixon (a pretty unconvincing Robert Wisden) is still in office in 1985, having won the Vietnam War (no, not ...

Pros: Raspy Yet New Soulful Voice, Mostly Successful In All Parts
Cons: "Call You Tonight," Some Minor Problems But Eh.
Whitney Houston's comeback had a long time coming. It's hard not to look at the album's extremely photoshopped cover and think of all the drugs Whitney used to do, especially when witnessing the upscale, and highly publisized, divorce between her ex ...

Pros: Lots of philosophical and obscure historical material.  Honest writing from the author. 
Cons: Book needs an index and perhaps a short glossary. Can be a bit heavy-handed.
In Nuns on the Run, a supremely silly movie, two characters played by Eric Idle and Robbie Coltrane are hiding out in a convent, trying to pass themselves off as nuns after having stolen some money from the mob. (Guess the good sisters don't ...
