Title: Honoring Bix Review: A very listenable recreation of melodic Bix music. Some of the finest contemporary musicians play on this album, lovingly and respectfully made. Included were three on Bix's instrument, cornet, Jon-Erik Kellso, Randy Reinhart, and Randy Sandke, who aren't Bix, but certainly capture his feel. Included is a wonderful booklet about Bix and the music that is very helpful in enhancing enjoyment of this excellent CD. Even if the listener somehow never heard of Bix but enjoys the creative feel for these pre-1931 tunes, this CD is a must have. And the list of these excellent musicians look like a "Who's Who" of creative young jazz players who obviously love what they do. Is the review positive or negative?

Title: Will Dana Carvey play her in the TV Movie? Review: Jerry Bledsoe, one of the upper echelon writers in this genre (along with Gregg Olsen and Ann Rule,) has written another extensively researched and riveting saga of murder in the Tar Heel state.Poor sanctimonious "church lady" Barbara Terry Ford Stager. She keeps "accidentally" shooting her husbands. She literally got away with the murder of Husband #1, but went 1 for 2 when she killed Husband #2. As one of the jurors in her trial said: ""She'll get off in twenty years and she'll get her another one and pop him off." Men of North Carolina: Be careful out there!

Title: A hair better than CLOSER Review: Why does Clive Owen make these stinker movies? I thought CLOSER was one of the absolute worst movies I ever saw with a really great star in it. UGH. Then I watched DERAILED and thought "well we have a little category here of really lousy Clive Owen movies".He is a really GOOD actor. Why in the world does he get involved in these ridiculous films. I didn't care for this movie at all because it was too far-fetched. Jennifer Aniston was good as Lucinda, but not quite good enough as a bad girl type. Is the review positive or negative?

Title: Dark and Delightful! Review: Sonya Hartnett has really struck the psychological nail on the head in this dark and twisted narrative. Twins Ravel and Indigo live in a haunted mansion overrun by rats, with only each other as company. Hartnett develops the characters with such precision, that it is undoubtedly a book that can't be put down. I hung on every word from the shocking start to the shocking end. It is an educated look at the psychology of isolation, the extremities of love, and the power one can hold over another. Don't be put off, however, in thinking that this book is a hard read. Hartnett's ability to flow with her words makes it understandable, but intriguing and exciting at the same time. For those who like a bit of the macabre, it is definitely a 'different' and unique story, which I loved and will always be one of my favourites of all times. Is the review positive or negative?
