This album really sounds more like a bridge between Hot Fuss and Sam's Town, but regardless it is still one of the better rock albums that was released this year
I hate to say it about local boys, but this album was a complete waste of money, do yourself a favor and buy Day and Age by the Killers, or anything by We Are Scientists

Could have been the greatest game ever

I won't ruin it for you but the Sci-Fi twist towards the middle/end of the game really took me out of it. In fact I didn't even finish it after that, and it's a shame because the gameplay is impeccable, the story line is fantastic, and up until that point it was just an out and out awesome game
What's great about it: Everything Up Until About Level 13-15
What's not so great: The Sci-Fi Twist that took me completely out of the game
This two DVD package commemorates the 60th anniversary of the original theatrical release of Citizen Kane -- a film considered by critics and enthusiasts alike to be the crowning achievement of modern American cinema. The story of Charles Foster Kane is told using several flashbacks from those who knew him best. Outstanding performances from Welles as Kane, Joseph Cotton as Kane's best friend Jedediah Leland, Agnes Moorehead as Kane's mother, and Everett Sloane as Mr. Bernstein, Kane's devoted business associate, are among the silver-screen luminaries who make their motion-picture debuts in Citizen Kane. Disc one contains a pristine (for a 60-year-old film) print presented in full frame (1.33:1). The image is all but free of grain or other visual anomalies. At last viewers can revel in the subtle, yet oh so significant, labors of Wells -- who was also behind the camera in the director's chair -- and noted cinematographer Gregg Toland. Toland's revolutionary deep-focus lenses and high-contrast lighting look crisp and surprisingly fresh. The audio on the DVD is most startling and more revealing than ever. Welles' formidable background in radio immeasurably enhances the film's visual composition. Accompanying the film are two full-length discreet audio commentary tracks. Academy Award-winning director and Welles biographer Peter Bogdanovich supplies an intuitively personal commentary, which is peppered with reminiscence of and quotes from Welles. The audio analysis from film critic Roger Ebert contains complementary information pertaining to film technique and style. Together they supply a comprehensive, entertaining, and ultimately unique perspective of Citizen Kane. The special features menu accesses the extras on disc one. These include a minute of silent newsreel footage from the May 1941 New York premiere as well as an 11-minute gallery of still images including production documentations, photographs, storyboards, promotional posters, and various advertising campaigns with narrative audio by Roger Ebert. In addition, there is a hidden interview segment -- just look for "Rosebud." Disc two contains the two-hour Oscar-nominated documentary The Battle Over Citizen Kane -- which initially aired on the PBS series American Experience in 1995. The film examines the correlation between the real "Citizen" behind Kane. Was it Orson Welles, the actor on and off the stage, or William Randolph Hearst? The results might astound you.

The Best Film of all time

Nothing beats Citizen Kane. It is by far the best film ever made.
It was good, good story a halfway decent pace but...this is not the best Silence of the Lambs Prequel...Red Dragon is way better because of much better acting and just simply better quality however any SOTL will like this
A weak script, great cgi, some decent acting on the part of Shia Labouf or however you spell it. The movie worked and was definately a great addition to the transformers product line
The point of this film was to show that racism still exists in the south. Why would Sam Jackson' character care about Ricci's character? because he believes its his christian duty to cure her of her wicked ways. Why does it work? Because while saving her he saves himself. This was a great film.
This band is great. I saw them live twice before this album was released, and then they released this Jem. Every song is worth a listen especially Worth the Wait, Nobody Move Nobody Get Hurt, and Inaction. If you like Hot Hot Heat, Art Brut, or the Arctic Monkeys (which I like them all very much) then you will love We Are Scientists.
