Aside from tracks six and seven lacking, the new FFTL CD has saved the band from the failure that was Heroine. Every song is great and will be stuck in your head whether you want it to be or not. If you loved the old FFTL (pre-Heroine), this is a definite buy. If you only like Heroine, there is still a chance you'll like this, so at least check it out.
This movie is way better than the old Rambos and has so much blood and gore in it. It is an awesome movie that needs to be seen. It's very entertaining and full of fighting. I just wish it had been a little longer
What's great about it: Lots of gore
What's not so great: One annoying character, too short
This was a movie I had no interest in, but I went to it with my family and loved it. It was very entertaining with good action and even had humor (crazy church lady). It was all very enjoyable but the ending for the main character blowssss (watch it)
What's great about it: Fun to watch throughout
What's not so great: That ending makes you feel so bad for the main character
Stephen Sondheim's award-winning musical thriller comes to the big screen in this adaptation directed by Tim Burton and starring Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Sacha Baron Cohen, Timothy Spall, and Alan Rickman. Embittered at having been wrongly imprisoned and determined to seek vengeance against his accusers due to the grim fate that befell his wife and daughter while he was incarcerated, ex-convict Sweeney Todd (Depp) returns to his hometown and opens a modest barber shop. The one thing different about Todd's shop, however, is that no one who walks in for a trim is ever seen again. Subsequently branded "The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" by the frightened community, Todd continues with his murderous exploits with a little assistance from his amorous accomplice, Mrs. Lovett (Bonham Carter) -- whose popular meat pies secretly have a most unsavory ingredient.

I usually dislike musicals, but Sweeney Todd is gold (probably due to the fact it's Johnny Depp and Tim Burton). The style is all very dark and cool looking. Everyone does a good job singing. And of course the violence is entertaining. There's nothing I can pinpoint that is bad about this movie. It's all good
What's great about it: Style, good songs, great acting, violence
It's definitely better than the first AVP, but this sequel also lacks a story that catches your interest. The characters are very forgettable and you don't really care what's going on in the movie. But it is still a good movie thanks to the action of aliens killing each other (which is generally entertaining)
It may not be as good as the directors previous movies (like Superbad), but it is still hilarious and entertaining. It moves a little slow, but the lines are fun to pick up and the more you watch the movie, the more you'll like it (like Talladegga Nights).
What's great about it: Lots of adult humor
What's not so great: A little long and slow-paced at times
There are elements of folk and celtic music in some of these songs and they all sound beautiful. Every song is catchy and whimsical. They totally overhaul their sound for this one, so many may not enjoy it (especially if you're narrowminded when it comes to other genres), but I found it to be an excellent purchase
What's great about it: Elements from all types of music
Having heard the full album online, I've got to say Story of the Year really kicked things into high gear with this new album. It combines elements from both of their previous albums and the resulting sound is excellent. I can't think of any complaints with this album. If you like Story of the Year or rock in general, you have to check out "The Black Swan"
What's great about it: Takes both sounds from last two albums and combines them
What's not so great: Still not as great as Page Avenue
Sonny Moore took lead on the direction of "Heroine" and it's obvious. The sound feels heavier and more electronic, with the instruments sounding synthesized. I wish the band had not allowed this, but the album was still decent. There are like four songs I never ever care to hear, but the remainder are good songs, just not excellent like their previous releases. It's a good album, but nowhere near their "Dear Diary" album
What's great about it: Great musicianship, awesome packaging
What's not so great: Sonny took control and made everything more electro
