Title: absorb it! Product review: I must admit that I have a fetish for Bjork and PJ Harvey, so I don't claim to be objective. But honestly, this is really a relevant CD for anyone interested in decent mainstream pop music. Bjork can turn her limits (naive vocal technique, an icelandic accent you could cut with a knife) into peculiar qualities. She is unique in her ability to couple unusual harmonic passages with quirk turns of phrase and superb arrangements. This album defies classification -- there's big-band jazz, trip-hop, electronic dance, "sugarcubes", trance, soundtrack-like strings, even traces of Abba's notorius pop. This is an album that has not created a genre like "Dummy" by Portishead, but is vastly superior to it and many other for its musicality, originality, literary quality and sense of humor. "Homogenic" is equally good, but much more tense and influenced by the Bristol scene. Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?

Title: another fine read by Wickham/Kinsella Product review: I thoroughly enjoy this author's books, whether she is writing as Madeleine Wickham or Sophie Kinsella, and though this was not my favorite of hers, I would still recommend it. This is the story of two families who are struggling -- one with tension about a possible job loss, the other with redecorating crises. Both desperately need a vacation, and both have been promised the loan of a lovely villa in Spain by a family friend. Unfortunately, they have all been promised the same villa on the same week. Hilarity ensues. Well, no, not actual hilarity, but a more mature variation of hilarity -- hidden pasts, new beginnings, uncertain endings. Wickham is a clever writer and she creates believable, complex characters within a few lines, but I didn't find this cast too likable, nor was I very interested in their problems. Still, it's always a pleasure to read a master, and Wickham is a gifted writer. Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?

Title: WOW! No matter your orientation, you should see this film! Product review: I watched this film at my University this week and was so touched by it I cried, several times and laughed my head off too. I am straight, and often am disappointed in the way the LGBT community is portrayed on television and in movies. This movie really puts it in more perspective though. In Big Eden the characters are REAL. No matter your orientation you can relate to the problems and dilemas faced in this film. The supporting characters are hilarious in their attempts to help out and whether this kind of attitude will be found in small towns in the near future or not, it was awesome to see the film placed in such a setting. Please see this movie. It was touching and funny and I think you can't help but enjoy it. Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
