The Medallion 74 reviews Jackie Chan, Lee Evans
Sony Pictures, 2004
Not "high cinema" but a decent Jackie Chan movie...
Aside from other reviewers who apparently have it in for this movie, I actually rather enjoyed it. Granted, I agree that the dub was pretty so-so and a bit corny. But, well, it's a Jackie Chan movie! Were we really expecting Citizen Kane?
I thought the action was good, and generally enjoyed it. ...

Non-fiction at its finest
+ Outstanding + Anthologies of interesting prople
Like her predecessor Joan Didion, Susan Orlean writes of the wide range of human experience--from a traveling gospel group in the South to a budding basketball star--and in doing so presents a portrait of America that is both comprehensive and engaging. What's even better is that she does it ...

In the Devil's Garden: A Sinful History of Forbidden Food 14 reviews Stewart Lee Allen
Ballantine Books, 2003
It's a fun book and very informative.
+ Interesting, but some spurious claims
I really enjoyed this book. I learned a lot of history. He breaks it down into the seven deadly sins. How the apple became the "forbidden fruit" in the Bible. Why to even this day we look down at corn (think about how it's in junk food). Why some foods are shunned over the years for class reasons ...

Travelling the Sacred Sound Current: Divine Chants & Sacred Tones for Healing & Meditation 16 reviews Deborah Van Dyke
Sound Current, 2001
+ takes me to nirvana + Very good if you like Indian mantras
I learned to pronounce Divine names I read in spiritual books,
but never heard chanted before, from this CD.
As a woman, following the voice of a women guide
was easier for me to echo, then male chants.
It is the perfect CD to play and chant along while ringing
my own crystal bowls and sets a ...

SOUNDS OF LIGHT: The Pure Tones of Crystal Singing Bowls 18 reviews Crystal Voices
Crystal Voices, 1998
Calming
+ I'm not an experienced meditator... + It really grows on you
I love the calming sounds of the crystal bowles while meditating. But I do agree that the sounds could not be enjoyment for everybody. The bowles make long lasting high pitched sounds. I find it calming. This CD is one of my favorites to use during meditation.

Howard Who?: Twelve Outstanding Stories of Speculative Fiction 3 reviews Howard Waldrop
Doubleday Books, 1986
Outstanding Stories? Definitely
+ Heirs... + Horton Hears A Waldrop!
The title does not lie. This is a collection of 12 outstanding stories. Each story is a tiny gem, a short 13-25 page story that makes a large impact. Waldrop's stories have to be read to be believed. He is able to turn the mundane into the spectacular. Take 'Man Mountain Gentian' about sumo ...

Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture 109 reviews Douglas Coupland
St. Martin's Griffin, 1991
fellow slackers
+ Coupland writes on growing up (these are my scattered thoughts) + So accurate
This one is a gem for Gen X-ers like myself. It makes me feel like a part of a generation and not some independent under-achiever.
I envy the three main characters being able to spend so much time together. They are from relatively well off families, which I can't relate to, but it does show ...

A Crime not to Re-Print this Book

Please do not let this book fall into the Out-of-Print Abyss! This book is a must for anyone studying or wanting to comprehend the feminine nature, personally and archetypally. The forerunner of all current Woman Studies, its a fundamental must. Why start with the copied, watered - down ...
