Music Review:Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds Live at Radio City


Although a big Dave Mattews fan, I hadn't been overly impressed by his stuff of late. I felt he was trying to hard to be "the big rock star." With this new live CD I think he has gone back(at least for the moment) to what he does best which is just playing good music. He and Tim Reynolds just sound amazing.


9/10

Freedom Writers


Freedom Writers is a good movie albeit an old story. How many movie can be made about street kids who make good? I do enjoy Hilary Swank, but not Patrick Dempsy. Although he is TV's golden boy at the moment I find him flat and annoying.

This is going to be amazing.

My New Toy


Cosby Show-The Complete First Season


The Cosby Show when there were sitcom on TV. A classic show with one the best casts ever esembled. My only complaint of the DVD is that is not uncut.

Six Degreees of Seperation

24-The Complete Fifith Season


Season five of 24 sees Jack return from the dead as he tries to uncover who is murdering his friends. A very good season overall the edition of Jean Smart is great. She shows such a variety of emotions.
10/10

Spider-Man 3


I had heard awful things about this movie. My affection for the first two made me still want to see it. While it was not quite as good as the first two I still enjoyed it for what it was. It shows that even superheroes have their flaws.

Book Review:Guide to the Best 1,000 Movies Ever Made


The Guide to the Best 1,000 Movies Ever Made is great book for movie lover. It has a good selection of every kind of movie and the reviews are very very detailed.


A must-have for the movie fan.


Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix


I really enjoyed this movie. The effects and battles were wonderful. Neville's character is really coming into his own. The movies continue to grow darker.


I've accepted the fact that the movies are becoming much different from the books. In the fourth movie the differences bothered me but in this one it didn't matter as much. The movie stood on its own much better then the other.

The Simpsons Movie


The Simpsons Movie was superb. My fear of it feeling like one episode that was too long was quickly put to rest. The story was so well-crafted I wanted more. Any fan will be finding funny things they missed for ages. The DVD release will be major.


10/10

A Bug's Life


A Bug's Life was a big disappointment. The animation was good, but the story very slow.

Full review when I finish

Hollywoodland


I wasn't sure if I'd like Hollywoodland, but within 5 minutes you are drawn into it. Was Superman's George Reeves' death murder or suicide? The movie is certainly fair to both sides. Either one you believe there are still and always will be questions. Great cast with good acting. Adrian Brody was a standout.


9/10

Seven Year Itch


I truly enjoyed Seven Year Itch. Monroe just owns the screen with her style. She doesn't even need to big things on screen. She just is.


The movie shows that sometimes you need temptation to show us what we really know is important.
10/10

24: The Complete Fourth Season


24 season 4 is very good. A new president, a new world crisis, the same JACK. With the best ending I've ever seen.
10/10

Book Review:The History of Love-by Nicole Krauss


The History of Love is a good book. While slow in places the characters are very involving. You feel quite invested in the story.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows-Leaks


To the person or persons putting spoilers out there. You think you are ruining the ending of the greatest books series ever written but you are not. A true fan, such as myself do not care and will be waiting until Saturday. Anyone that does look, doesn't care about the books.




So to this person who has clearly to much time on their hands. Try actually reading a book. I know six very good titles.

World Series of Pop Culture 2007


Starts tonight 9pm VH1

Dreamland


Dreamland is a coming of aged story of people afraid to move forward. Audrey is torn between her responibilites and the life she was meant for. The movies draws you in and soon you are torn too.
