'Scream' was to the 1990's what 'Nightmare on Elm Street' was for the 1980's. Neve Campbell stars the heroine of a town stalked by a serial killer garbed in a Scream mask who kills victims who can't guess horror movie trivia questions they've become obsessed with. Mysterious, sly, sexy fun for 90's nostalgists. A movie that turned the horror mystery on its head. Courtney Cox, David Arquette, Jamie Kennedy, Rose McGowan, and Henry Winkler also star.
What's great about it: sexy, funny, horror mystery with awesome track.

Riding near the end of the 1990's, the Stones would be well known for their comeback 'Voodoo Lounge', but this sleepy 'Babylon' album derrides much of the same sound with Richards ska styled song 'You Don't Have To Mean It' and the doo-wop stylings of 'How Can I Stop?' Jagger's 'Flip the Switch' is a heavy hit, but the song 'Anybody Seen My Baby' will glide in your mind and you'll hit that replay button alot. Bareboned old-fashioned rock that blends other styles. All original.
What's great about it: Rolling Stone album for fans. Various music styles.
What's not so great: Songs of the past may not attract younger audiences.

12 X 5 is a Rolling Stones' benchmark album for 1964 that takes on bluesey strumming guitars and derrived samples of past rock, R&B and rockabilly artists for an album with a gritty sound that could pass for a country album. Inoffensive and energetic, the Stones are a meat and potatoes band to this album. Jagger & Richards contribute 3 original songs attatched.
What's great about it: Album for Rolling Stones fans, full instrumentals, blues.
What's not so great: Songs of the past may not attract younger audiences.

The movie is a splicing of 'Ferris Bueller' with 'Breakfast Club' in a department store. Latter Oscar winner Jennifer Connelly is stunning for a sweet low-key film. The movie has a mild cult following for '90's fans, but the direction is choppy in select scenes. The ending is also a bit too quick paced and rushed for what it could have proven a better good v. evil fight. Inoffensive most of time. Couldn't obtain movie extras on my disc.
What's great about it: Sweet teen comedy of 1990. Jennifer Connelly.
What's not so great: Ending could been better. Inable to access extras.

Jason Alexander of 'Seinfeld' fame stars the voice of a comic derrived duck detective Duckman along with a Joe Friday monotoned pig named Cornfed in this short-lived animated series of odd adventures and smart adult themed humor. A cult series until its cliffhanger left cancellation, the series still remains fresh and funny a decade later. A 2-D styled cartoon that settled alot on social commentary that would be widely imitated by latter cartoons of the 2000's.
What's great about it: Emmy nominated cartoon, Jason Alexander, cult following
What's not so great: Ends on a cliffhanger. Jokes reference of the 1990's

The album could cater well to fans of the movie 'Drive', but it mostly has 4 track songs with lyrics to them and eleven songs that are synthethic easy listening songs-no voice lyrics at all. For a moderate price for 19 songs thats fair, but don't expect to get energized if you like fast, loud, intense music. Good driving music. An album for your girl or an 80's pop fan...nothing sampled or unoriginal. No dirty lyrics.
What's great about it: 'Drive' movie fans may like it. Clean syntho electric pop.
What's not so great: Four songs with vocals. Music may bore some. Mellow.
This hard-hitting horror film has been given a sleek presentation for its release on DVD.

The dialogue is in English, with optional subtitles in French and Spanish. The film's original trailer has been included as a bonus.

A committed serial killer Simon Cartwright is studied for either being crazy or otherwise by a fame-oriented psychologist Dr. Karen Shoemaker. The audience sees flashbacks of the killer's upbringing and murders until caught. Fluid and a bit slow, the film has more drama than scares. A movie that questions the rationale of murderers and people, the movie's ending comes most confusing for asking if anything watched was real or otherwise. A movie that leaves more questions than answers. A unique horror of New Zealand from 1997.
What's great about it: Highly rated film in most horror film magazines.
What's not so great: slow pacing, dry acting, not a movie for poor attention spans

Early movie of the 1980's riding the slasher horror wave. A new doctor to a mental hospital for the criminally insane becomes a target by his new patients who escape in a blackout believing that he killed their former doctor and friend. Simple acting, odd cut scenes, a movie for fans of Jack Palance and Martin Landau, but more of a chiller than a jolting fright flick. A moderate b-grade horror film for halloween that sets a quiet tone for future serial killer horror movies in the 1990's.
What's great about it: Smart horror of the 1980's, good price, somewhat funny.
What's not so great: Low grade horror . No special effects.
A placid drifter named Vann (Owen Wilson) inhabits a small town looking for a fresh start on life. His passive demeanor and appearance hides the fact that he's a serial killer. He wanders the country preying on the desperate and lonely. Although, in this particular town, he becomes romantically entangled with a postal worker (Janeane Garofalo) and their relationship may be the one thing that can put an end to his murderous ways, or will it? An offbeat psychological drama from the producers of SLING BLADE and the writer of BLADE RUNNER that presents an eerie look into the mind of a serial killer. Director Hampton Fancher Star Brian Cox, Owen Wilson, Janeane Garofalo, Mercedes Ruehl Special Features Widescreen Audio Dolby Digital 5.1 English Year of 1999.

Fans to Owen Wilson and Janeane Garafalo will prefer this movie for all its mellow acting. Wilson plays a bland, everyman serial poisoner who travels and blathers on his indecisive life as a murderer while striking a relation with Garafalo as a mail carrier to a sleepy suburb. Slow, dull ending, dull acting...except the first 10 minute cameo of Sheryl Crow who you feel like dying along side her before the movie is over. A movie about the "every day blandness" of sociopaths. Feh.
What's great about it: Movie for Owen Wilson and Garafalo fans, Sheryl Crow.
What's not so great: No action what so ever. Rent this, if ever.

Debuted in 1994 Duckman was the show to watch that would introduce social commentary before South Park, King of the Hill or even the works of Seth MacFarlane. Imitated on its adult humor and smarts by 'The Simpson's' later, Jason Alexander voices a sleazy brainless duck detective with family to solve oddball cases. I dare you not to laugh at this show.
What's great about it: Emmy nominated, '90's nostalgia, smarter than most TV
What's not so great: Viewer discretion advised, no CGI, not for everyone.
