The Jonas Brothers are sweeping the nation with their standard pop songs and admittedly, some of them are prettu fun. They are catchy, and they stick with you. But as with most overproduced Disney-oriented music of this nature, it grows a little thin, even by the short running time standards. Definately worth it if you are a pop music fan, but it most assuredly not for everyone.

The razr was THE must have phone a few years ago, and despite it falling fell behind on the ladder of technology, it is still immensely popular today.
The T-Mobile version is idential to the original V3 models carried by Cingular (now AT&T) Wireless that caused all the commotion. Housed in a bold pink color, the razr features bluetooth technology, AIM and Yahoo Instant Messengers, a large vivid color screen and a vga camera. The firmware is updated from its original version for better stability. Battery life is on the moderate to low side, which is to be expected from a phone this slim.
Overall, still a good phone, and a great addition to the T-Mobile prepaid lineup.

As a movie, "28 Days Later" is a superior motion picture. But as a Blu-ray high definition disc, it falls completely flat. Due to the director's artistic filmmaking choice of camera-type use, "28 Days Later" looked good on standard DVD, but unbelieveably blocky and choppy on Blu-ray, to the point of being very distracting. Only in the final scene is where the high definition really shines.
The same set of extras are ported over from standard DVD to Blu-ray, with a small exclusive alternate ending only available on this disc.
The retail price of the disc is about $20 more than what the standard DVD goes for, and is not worth the "upgrade" if you own the latter.

The newest flip phone from Virgin Mobile is the Arc, sporting a vga camera, bluetooth and other standard features such as Mobile IM and Mobile Email, downloadable games and ringtones, etc. I am using this as an upgrade to my year-old Cyclops, and it is a nice phone with good voice quality and features. Not too much as far as extras on this phone, but you can't argue for the price.

"Lead Me On" has been listed among the top Christian albums of our generation. And, hard as it is to believe, this marks the 20th anniversary of its initial release.
The first CD in this two-disc set is identical to the one that EMI released in remastered form last fall. The second CD houses all the additional content, such as a few accustic and live versions of the hits from the album, as well as a newly conducted audio interview with Amy and her thoughts on this milestone of her career.
Its a good package, but you would have to weigh the fact that if you have repurchased the remastered release last year, you are paying $15 or so just for a bonus cd. If you are an Amy fan, its worth it, but otherwise, it would be something to consider.
A young couple lead a happy, quiet life in the countryside. But little do they know they're being surrounded. When night falls, the couple will come face to face with Them. They are everywhere, even in their home. Who are they? What do they want? The answers will take them to the very limits of fear itself.

A movie very similiar in theme to "The Strangers", this film is heavy on suspense and low on gore. Therefore, it will not appeal to everyone if you are looking for a "popcorn flick". The movie itself loses a bit of steam toward the end, but if you are looking for something more than torture horror like "Saw" or "Hostel", then "Them" is for you.

The lead-off single to Ace Young's over delayed debut album "Addicted" is one of two very strong tracks on the CD -- the other being the power ballad "You Redeem Me". But the rest of the quality hovers between mediocre to filler. A worthy effort with two really good songs (and recommended for that fact), but I expected more after waiting three years for this release.

Who would have guessed the phenom that High School Musical would become? Predicatble story, overproduced songs, squeeky clean teens... typical Disney fare. But its harmless fun. About roughly eight new songs are highlighted as the group takes a summer job and tries to cope with working their vacation away.
The blu-ray sports a crystal clear 1080 picture and great sound... but the extras are on the lacking side considering the suggested retail price.

A vacation from school turns into a nightmare for two young college students.
A lot of people have ripped on this gritty, raw horror film because of the twist towards the end -- it either makes or breaks the movie experience. And its one of those plot points that one cannot discuss without giving it away. All I can say is that a good number of people don't get it, and that it completely calls into question everything that came before it. Just pay attention to whom the narrative comes from in the get go and how it all turns out.
As far as the movie goes, it bares a lot of similarities to a TV-movie called "Intensity" (and from the book of the same name), but its horror and suspense that is so real that its tough to look away.
The DVD itself has a wealth of extras, including an all new commentary track for this release, and snipplets of the original track from the overseas DVD release. Lots of behind the scene stuff round out a great bargain for horror fans.
