It's refreshing to hear someone talking about things that actually mean something instead of bragging about crap they really don't own. This was fun to Lord of the Rings (dvd) - Nice movie. Consider listen to all the way thru. Emenim is better than this dvd release to be a teaser to the real DVD his beats. He raps on beats most rappers would release coming in November. I call it milking the pass up on. I hope it's not really how he describes public but isn't that what Hollywood does? it in his songs as far as not being recognized for Anyfarts it's a great flick and a great way to blow his skills cuz he's the best out there right now, 3 hours. I still have to say I've seen better fight period. sequences on Zena - Warrior Princess! ● DJ Shadow - The Private Press : This one didn't really hit me until the second listening. Showtime - Well, it passed the time. Not much to Quality work from a guy who doesn't release to really crack up on here. Seems like they thought much shit. Instrumental Hip Hop on an intelligent this would be a good idea untile they actually shot & exploratative tip. It's like Moby without the all it.

Inspired. ● Mandalay - Solace : This has been out for Clockstoppers - A lot better than many critics awhile. A really nice CD. I really love their choice gave it. Kid finds a watch that can slow down time of synth sounds, stuff nobody else uses (Like around him. PLays tricks on a few people, then Everything But the Girl later productions). Nicola spends the rest of the film running from the Hitchcock vocal style is very original, and the people who want it back. WHat more did the music has a very intimate feel. I wish they would critics want from a nickelodeon film I wonder? have included "Please" (which was played on an Some swell FX in this one directed by Star Trek - episode of La Femme Nikita, which got me into The Next Generation's Number # 1. the band), but I can't really complain. It's a 2 CD set for the price of one. Very nice! Contract Killer - ANother Jet Li movie. This one ● Chemical Brothers - Come With Us : I highly is about a amatuer hit man (who posseses great respect these guys work, even if I can't skill without a gun) who it trying to score a huge immediately get into it. It's just so well produced! contract based on finding the killer of a yakuza They have really gone the pop route since "dig boss. Takes a minute to get to the action but your own hole", which is understandable. It's a when it does all hell breaks loose. One of the better CD than "Surrender". Star Guitar is banging better Jet Li action n guns movies out of Hong in a dreamy way. Quality music by an act that Kong I've seen. always put's alot of time into it's music. ● Daft Punk - Discover : Just like the Chemicals, We were Soilders - ANother combat driven film Daft Punk has gone the Pop route, but they do it about the insanity of war. This one is about oe of in such a cool way. This CD sounds like a bedroom the early Vietnam conflicts. Mel Gibson does a studio project, only thing is the tracks are catchy good job as a leader trying to remain objective in as hell. The Todd Edwards cut up track is my the mist of chaos and overwhelming odds against. favorite. Good buy. Great picture and excellent sound. CHeck it out. ● Michael Jackson - I nvincible : Not bad. You The effects of Napalm it shows are pretty CSI know if he would spend normal amounts of insteresting. money, left the "King of Pop" crap in the closet, and concentrating on making good songs instead The Sweetest Thing - "Chick flick" with a of music events, he would be so much better off. Farrelly brothers vibe. Gross-out humor which When I read how much it cost to make this record seems to be thrown in for the hell of it. Christina I had to giggle and snort. I know he's Michael Applegate shines the most in this one, I've always Jackson and everything but What a Idiot. It considered her to be talented way beyond her doesn't cost that much to make a record unless looks (and she looks good!). I won't even explain your still trying to reach the days of Thriller. Why the plot since there hardly is one. Still, all said an he's still chasing it is beyond me. Madonna is cool, enojyable rental. If you buy it you were warned. she does what she wants, she's not trying to spread herself to thin, and her music is more Blade 2 - Ahhh...the daywalker. Much respect for interesting now than when she was a phenom. I the first blade which was directed by Steve hope Michael hooks up with a producer who will Norrington. The talented Guillermo Del Toro bring him down to earth (Rapheal Sadiq or D' directs this sequel and does a great job keeping it Angelo maybe?). Invincible sounds great because "for the fans". None of that PG-13 sequel crap a ton of money was spent on it. You won't that you usually get with a successful R-Rated remember any of the tunes 15 minutes after movie. This is violent, gruesome, and cool as hell. you've heard them (After I heard Usher's "You IT even has Donnie Yen (Iron Monkey), who remind Me" I had trouble deleting from the choreographs some of the fight scenes, and who memory banks!). For my fellow musicians though is a legend on his own. No bullshit here. ALL Michael Jackson CD's are must buys simply because the quality of the recordings are refernce.

This Judd collecting paychecks for the summer home in neo soul category they made up recently for black venice. Predictable and should have been a bands that actually play instruments all the way straight to USA network release. Pay no more thru the song. Isn't that the way music was than $2 to rent it. It's worth that. The story get's suppose to be? Lord knows when producers run stupid as soon as she finds out her husband is not out of ideas they go running to the pre 90's music who he seems when he get's arrested for war catalog for sampling. This is a great CD. Light, crimes and has been living under a false identity. tight and breezy. Pick it up. Nice to hear a bass Any normal woman, especially a power lawyer as player moving the strings. Looking forward to she plays, would have been da hell out! Instead "Vintage CLassic" she fights to clear his name, whoever he is...... ● Bilal : Very nice. Nicely produced to. Has the hot Dre sound where the drums smack you in the face Panic Room - To be honest the 2nd time around like 2 peices of wood. wasn't as good as the first. The neat "thru the ● Nas - Stillmatic : I've never been that big a fan wall" camera work was though. All in all a good of Nas (don't ask why, maybe I was on some bad flick. No surprises, but it keeps up at a steady cheeba) but this is a great CD. True lyricist who pace. Fincher's best with material with some doesn't have to resort to short lived gimmicks shock value. One thing that puzzled me was the (growly voice, bling bling). Ether is a trip! choice for Jodie Fosters son/daughter.
