Review title: Disappointing, though Beckinsale fans might find it worthwhile Product review: This movie was made in the mid 1990s in Spain, it was directed by Jim McBride, based on a novel by Perez Reverte, and it stars a young Kate Beckinsale. Sounds promising? The movie's not. Basically, the plot has Beckinsale (with a boyish short hair cut) playing an art student in Barcelona, who finds that a flemish painting holds clues to some murder, or something. The whole thing is very dull, full with ridiculous situations and characters. The only thing to recommend for it is a couple of nude scenes by the young Kete (one in particular, with Kate topless for many seconds looking at a painting and sporting a grannie's panties is particularly memorable).

Review title: major top ten list gaffe Product review: I hate to be one of those people who's all, "How could you make a top ten list of ____ and not include ____??" But in this book there is a list of the top ten coaches in the history of football. The one and only coach with 4 Super Bowl wins (and no losses) didn't make the list. You pretty much lost me there. If the rest of the book is this badly biased, it is not the intro to football I want my son reading. I'll keep looking.

Review title: The Bare Essentials on the Naked Guide Product review: This is definitely a serious investment book, but written with a sense of humor. I was surprised how comprehensive it is, especially since it is only 240 pages. It's certainly smaller than most other investment books around. But I guess that's the point of making it "stripped down." As advertised, it eliminates all the financial jargon that you see in textbooks and is writtenso that you don't feel lost halfway through any of the chapters. I also like that the author takes a practical approach, explaining exactly how to invest after you've learned the basics. I highly recommend Naked Guide to Bonds for anyone interested in learning about bonds and how the bond market works.
