Thought Provoking and Often Poignant Tale by digitalvampire Pros: Thought provoking, well written, fascinating.
Cons: Often very heart wrenching. First of all, let me state this isn't the kind of book I usually read. I usually confine myself to either one of the action, adventure, fantasy, horror or sci-fi genres, typically anything with a lot of action as I tend to get bored easily ...

The Inside Story: from mountain peak to molten core by driftless Pros: Mind-blowing, complex and fascinating topic.
Cons: Fortey's words alone don't always provide adequate clarity. Every rock has a "life" story. Whether we talk about the large granite boulder in your fireplace mantle, the tiny, sharp flint that punctures your bicycle tire, the half carat diamond in your wedding band or the marble used to create Michelangelo's ...

"I've Got That Sinking Feeling..." "The X-Files" Descends Into Average Territory With The Sixth Season! by wlswarts Pros: Some fun, clever episodes, Moments of character
Cons: A greater sense of repetition in this season, no exceptional highs "The X-Files" is the series I am currently embedded in to the point of not watching much of anything else on DVD until I can finish the series and get my reviews posted (finally). But the thing is, when the series begins to turn toward the common, it ...

Forbidden Topics by topreviewerman Pros: Brings up, in a humorous vein, topics usually avoided.
Cons: A little much to deal with all at once. Sex Drive, as the title suggests, involves a road trip for a young man coming of age to prove his manhood. He has never made it with a chick, never done much of anything with the opposite sex. His younger 14 year old brother is way ahead of him in ...

Cons: Vardans look pathetic, some parts too drawn-out Doctor Who is a British science fiction television series which has been around off and on since 1963. The main character is just known as "The Doctor" and is a Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey. This means he travels through time ...

A Better Way by topreviewerman Pros: Expert camera work, wonderful role model.
Cons: In Great Britain they drive on the "wrong" side of the road. Happy-Go-Lucky is such a great name for this movie because the 'y' ending words put a smile on your face just saying them. Same with Poppy herself, the central figure and focus of the movie: her real name is Pauline but everybody calls her Poppy. ...

Family Tree: Mixed Feelings by prairiegirl16 Pros: Interesting concept for a novel, fast read

Upstaged by topreviewerman Pros: Good direction, good acting, understandable plot.
Cons: Some places need improvement. You may think I'm weird, but I take issue with billing Fireproof as a "Christian movie" because I think the high term Christian should be reserved for born-again people, not some length of celluloid. Not everybody thinks that way. I ...

Mrs. Winterbourne - An Unconventional Cinderella Story by AliventiAsylum Pros: sweet story, decent acting, funny moments
Cons: relationship between Bill and Connie feels rushed, unnecessary drama Not every movie has to be the kind that dazzles its viewers. Sometimes it’s enough to have a sweet story that allows the viewer to escape fro the real world for a while and root for the unlikely circumstances of the film’s heroine. Such is ...

Genesis Can't Dance, But They Write a Mean Pop Song by speeddemon531 Pros: Phil Collins' soulful singing, the band's way with a memorable hook.
Cons: Self-plagiarism begins to rear it's head, some lazy lyricism. By the time We Can't Dance was released at the tail end of 1991, Genesis had already completed their metamorphosis from art-rock journeymen to pop behemoth. This move began with the departure of Peter Gabriel and Steve Hackett in the mid Seventies ...

Dhampir Is Great Vampire Fiction For Anyone Looking For Something New In The Genre by digitalvampire Pros: Something new to the fantasy and vampire genre. Complex and somewhat unique.
Cons: Jerky pacing, slow and overly wordy at times. Dhampir is a somewhat unique mix of the fantasy and horror genres which has been described as being like a strange hybrid of Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Lord Of The Rings. It features a group of three main characters who we are introduced to as ...

Showcase Presents: Batman and the Outsiders, vol. 1 by cdm72 Pros: A good intro to this team you probably aren't familiar with.
Cons: Might be a little TOO simple at times. Some super hero teams just can’t catch a break. No matter how many incarnations they go through, their book is cancelled after only a couple years in print only to be brought back again a few years later with a fresh creative team, an exciting idea, and ...

Making a Fascinating Subject Completely Banal: Jack Baxter's BROTHER MINISTER by xxxxer Pros: An interesting subject
Cons: Poor presentation that ultimately diminishes the film's message The subject of Malcolm X is one that surely presents polarizing opinions. Universally, he is heralded as one of the primary figures of the civil rights movement, a philosopher hero of sorts of the era in which he lived. In the 1960s, Malcolm ...

Better-Than-Average "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" Novel "Demons Of Air And Darkness" Satisfies! by wlswarts Pros: Interesting concept, Good pacing, Good character moments, Nice overall story development

Greg Iles gets his thrill on in "Third Degree" by millinocket Pros: Tightly written, suspenseful, well rounded characters

Nobody hits it out of the park every time and publishing a book a year (or more) may be good for business but it isn't necessarily good for the ...
