I did not watch the Storytellers on VH1 but the CD is more intimate and I can listen to it anywhere, anytime. It comes with a DVD which I did not watch yet.
What's great about it: Intimate recollection of the storytellers
I don't understand why people gave this album so much flack because it was "different". People start getting comfortable with Common staying on the Chicago hip-hop sound and the minute he expresses his appreciation for other style of music, people want to judge based off of expectations. Since when did people not like funk and rock? The featured artists on this album is crazy. Jill Scott, ?uestlove, Erykah Badu, Pharrell, Cee-Lo Green, etc.
Ryan Leslie, underrated as he is, has done a great job with this album and shows his production, lyrical, and vocal skills. He uses mostly live instrumentation, presently loud drums, and warm, gritty synths. This is a love album that most people in a relationship can relate to.
What's great about it: The production quality is well done
Being 19 this movie caters to my age range (14-21). The characters are sympathetic, the female character is very attractive and brings good suggestive appeal, while the hormonal male characters bring naivete to the film. This is all good for the lead up into the intensification of the plot and later the climax. The story definitely gets disturbing and leaves you sitting at the edge of your seat. I recommend this movie for a good time.
What's great about it: Interesting plot, good characters

To make this short, these speakers are perfect for music production in terms of getting complete, accurate sound reproduction. These speakers are great for audio through your computer, mp3 player, iPod, DVD player, and anything else you can hook up to it that demands heavy sound output. The bass can get heavy when volume is turned up and the tweeters are crisp and refreshing. Connections are no problem. I highly recommend.
What's great about it: Great bass, great clear vocals

Simply put this thing beats the daylights out of having to use the game controller to scroll through the alphabet. If you are a good texter or good with the qwerty keyboard than this should be a breeze.

What's not so great: More colors but no biggie, does not work for every typing situation

A work of art

For a short review, this game is a work of art graphically showing off the Xbox's graphical capabilities in the early stages. The gameplay is very innovative, fun, and effective. This game is hardcore but great at the same time.
What's great about it: Impressive and powerful graphics, fun and innovative
What's not so great: Could have been a little longer
This to me is a combination of Schindler's List, Dead Presidents, and Training Day. It was good and surprising and if you want to see it then watch it. If you don't care then still watch it. Russ plays a sympathetic character and Denzel is just ruthless.
What's great about it: Can make you gasp and laugh in horror.
