Q: Title: Yikes Product review: Ok, so it's the thing to do in the ninties --get your name on a tribute album. I have yet to hear a tribute album that is well done. This one gets two stars ONLY for the fine acappella "Driftin'" by FBBoA, Los Lobos treatment of AYE, and Cassandra Wilson's soulful LW. For the life of me, I can't understand why mostly overrated artists have a need to regurgitate perfect tunes in their own style. Does someone really think a ten year old will buy this CD because Taylor Dayne or Chuck D is on it? Come on folks, only Hendrix fans will buy it and lame 90's interpretations will only make us mad.

Q: Title: Multiple uses for this great DVD! Product review: The DVD is great. Beautiful beach scenery and minimal graphics. Perfect for setting the mood in your home when you need to relax.I actually bought the DVD because I'm in a Jimmy Buffett cover band. ( www.cedarreeferband.com ) One bar we play at has a huge screen TV on stage behind where I put my drums. We turn it off when we play but I figured there's gotta be something better than playing in front of a big blank screen. Much of Buffett's music is about the beach, the vacation mindset, and the distant locations that many of us long for. This DVD is the perfect backdrop for the music and vibe we put out during our performances. It's gorgeous, yet it's not busy so it isn't distracting. The creative uses for this beautiful DVD are only limited by your own imagination! Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?

Q: Title: Exceptional, just like all his books Product review: I just read this one of James Lee Burke's books although it is an old book. What can I say? I love the settings of his books although I have never been to New Iberia Parish or even Louisiana. No one can describe a sunset or bayou like James.How can you not like Dave Robicheau? He isn't one of the fancy detectives. He struggles with his problems like the rest of us.The confederate part was a bit odd but it did not play a large part in the book. I rate most of his books "excellent" and this is no exception. Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?

Q: Title: Usual Suspects, Usual Movie, Usual Genre, Etc... Product review: This movie was too confusing to be enjoyable, but that's probably what the director and screenwriter wanted - a film that baffles the viewer and leaves the audience 'guessing' until the end. Bah! In the effort to appeal to the movie-goer by way of ambiguity and mystery, this movie loses its luster. Perhaps if the makers of this film had a goal other than to baffle the viewer, the plot would have been better. Instead, the director concentrated on the audience rather than the film itself. Additionally, while the movie does have a few twists coupled with a surprise ending, it is nothing unique. Like many other films, this one has the same gun play, murder, and ultimate 'bad guy.' This film is nothing special, and I am surprised that so many people found it 'amaxing.' In short, this movie is confusing and the director obviously put too much emphasis on trying to fool the audience. Utterly ridiculous.
