Coyote Moon Lacks....

Although I enjoyed the book, the end was just to simple. It took them no time to research the shape shifters and the bad guy was easily defeated. They killed the bad guy in about a paragraph. I enjoyed the story and the characters. There are some things that this book lacks. I would recommend this book for a fast read. Otherwise I really wouldn't waste your time.

Call me a prude if you like.  But the explicit graphics of the sex scenes could have been more subtly done without sacrificing the plot.  And Bobby's profuse use of the f word was unnecessary.  As one who followed the original series devotedly, and watched the entire series with rapt attention in the Gold DVD Box edition, I must say this turned me off.

I understand and appreciate the effort to fill us in on the murder motive through this prequel.  I think as a Twin Peaks fan, I would have appreciated a sequel too, one which resolves the tension of "hero become villain" in the very last scene of Season 2, as well as the problem of Leo Johnson left with tarantulas hanging overhead courtesy of Windom Earle. The reference in "Fire Walk With Me" to "The good Cooper is in the lodge and can't get out" suggests that there might have been a solution coming???  But as it is we are left hanging, just like Leo.

Another earth based update, but one that seems to have been a long time forshadowed on. I like the idea for Unification, however it seemed very rushed. I know this is due to the episodic nature of the stories I just wished you got more recognition so we could have 2 - 10 times the detail and length in each story.

I would give this flick actually 3.5 stars.
1/2 star for trying something "new" in terms of characters (protagonists/antagonists) SPOILER ALERT !!!!!! let just say that there are no protagonists in this film.

The film lacks in quality script, the dialouge or screenplay is attracious, almost sounding like slapstic comedy.  The film borerlines on thriller/dark comedy. This is not a horror in my opinion. No One Lives (2012) is kept in similar atmosphere like You Are Next (2011), Evil Dead (2013) or even The Cabin in the Woods (2012).

The film has a good plot/concept but it could have been done better.  I think the ending sort of ruins the entire film, and the soundtrack is really poor.

I would categorized this one as another 21st century independent B-movie...

This movie was pretty good except the voices of the Outer Scouts?  They were so bad and the way they crammed in their powers especially 'Uranus World Shaking' I mean please people!  They also should have used the  Japanesse Music for their transformation...that music is way more exciting.  I was very dissapointed about the way they did Pluto especially for she  used to have the best 'Dub' voice in the episodes. On a different note I  found it sad. Also to see Super Sailor Moon talk in English was really  good. I really like SM but I hope that they don't wreak Super-S ' Black  Dream Hole' as well!

Ok lets get this out of the way, I am a huge b movie fan and a fan of Full Moon but this movie offers very little. A weak plot, bad acting, and our evil cookie is now part CGI. The deaths are creative and there are great bit of comedy thrown in. Frankly your better off buying Gingerdead Man 2 Passion Of The Crust. It's funnier, has a better plot and has more gore.

Coyotes are the ostensible subject of this book, but it won't be interesting to all readers who are interested in coyotes. The book is really about the author and her own adventures of various kinds, not all dealing with coyotes. Grafting yourself onto Wyoming is a sport, like grafting your own bohemian/tourist lifestyle onto that of Middle America. Whatever you're talking about is less interesting, to you, than you.

Really only for the girlfriends.

Yes Predator 2 starred both the immortal Gary Busey and the immortal Apache. It was tainted, however, by the always atrocious Danny Glover. Sid had to take the opportunity to catch the sequel to Predator which easily cracks the top 10 in Sid's stocking. It was a disapointment though. In the first film, Predator was being hunted in the jungle by the Godfather of Soundboard and Chink Webber with a side of Jessie the body. This one, not as much.

This time, Predator turns up in a different kind of jungle, L.A. Fantastic. While the first installment does not qualify as B, this one does. Apache was the main character for the first 15 minutes if the flick.  Now, Sid knows you're saying to yourself, "Wait. I thought Apache got blown up by Arnold in the original?" Well, you're right. That's the beauty of B. Also making an apperance, Screwface from&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Marked-for-Death/dp/6305168873/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Marked for Death</a>. He reprises his role as a Jamacian drug lord. They made Predator way less intimidating this time around, but there were multiple Predators so that's scarier obviously. If you watch this movie under optimal comditions and don't have a conversation similar to "What if there was like a whole planet of Predators? They would totally dominate us. That would be bad." then you're a doofus.

We only gave this one 3 stars. It was good times but not good enough. This film had so much potential unfulilled. There was no Busey meltdown or Apache Indian ritual with screaming. And after all, Danny Glover was the star. Downgrading from Arnold to Glover is a tough adjustment, as is seeing Predator(s) roaming L.A. causing mayhem. But maybe that was the whole point of the movie. Maybe L.A. was supposed to be depicted as a kind of jungle. Simply put, that's what it's like when you're living in the getto.

Fantastic idea but the execution left something to be desired. I thought you couldn't go wrong with a small group of mercenaries (think PREDATOR) landing on an island full of monsters! Predator meets Aliens meets King Kong. But the story was just mediocre. The characters weren't flushed out so I didn't really care when one died. I didn't really care for the idea of Elves being on "Monster Island". Not LOTR Elves. More like Thor Dark Elves. Still.....The art was pretty good. The writing should have been better. I expected more.

i love moon's _deed of paksanarion_ series.  i enjoy the herris serrano books--enough to overlook her sneering at bagpipes.  i thought _remnant population_ was wonderful.  this one, however, was a partial disappointment.
the first few chapters with the family almost stopped me reading the rest of the book.  we're hundreds of years in the future, but apparently have learned nothing.  when her daughter's life is shattered by her being made the scapegoat in a political mess, does the mother, introduced as an engineer, offer comfort in any form?  offer sympathy?  get angry enough to tear strips off the men who ruined her daughter's career hopes?  no.  the mother's first impulse is to criticize her daughter for not wearing enough makeup. please.  and a few pages further on, to criticize her figure.  does the term emotional abuse come to mind?  and, hundreds of years into to future, marriage is still seen as the most important thing a woman can aspire to, even when that woman has more than financial security.
phooey.  even today, there are parents who do better jobs.  and, after the wonderful aunts in the herris serrano novels, we have instead a critical harpy who blames her niece for her troubles.
double phooey.
some of these elements did exist in moon's previous works, but weren't quite as pronounced, or, as in _remnant population_, existed to be demolished by the heroine.
but, as i mentioned, i did manage to get past the first few chapters. the plotting is admirable.  the writing is excellent.  unfortunately, to many secondary character remain pretty much interchangeable and there are too many echoes from previous books. there's a sense of moon just going through the motions with this book.
there are pluses.  coming from a family who fought in every major war (and some minor) from the boer war to korea, i admire many parts of the old-fashioned military character.  moon presents, in her heroes and heroines, the best of what the military can be, and i admire her for that.  her heroine in this book also has delightful streak of merchant canniness.
will i read the next in this series? probably.  even though moon obviously has never known anyone who can bake a good fruitcake.

I was expecting this to be a pretty good album, with the concept of two bands doing one song. You have good groups like "Filter",  "The Crystal Method", "Orbital", "Prodigy", and "Incubus" on this album, and unfortunately, that's the only songs that are good. The one exception is "Skin Up Pin Up" by Mansun & 808 State. I've never heard of either group, but there contribution is one excellent rock song. Most of the other tracks have the dark edge of the movie, but they just don't work. This album proves that just because it has certain big name groups, it doesn't mean it's good.

Some of this book is refreshing.  I loved how the book was told through the eyes of heroine even when she was in her wolf form.  The werewolves don't fit in the typical mold; changing into their wolf form depending on if the moon is full rather they change to their wolf form at will.  What made no sense is that the heroin is the only female werewolf in existence; yet, she only sleeps with the guy who made her. Elena was not born a werewolf nor did she have a choice in being turned into a werewolf so most of the book is about her trying to come with being a werewolf and deciding if she wants to live her life in her pack or amongst the humans.  Having been changed without her consent or unawareness of werewolves by her lover, Clay, Elena is trying to come to terms with Clay's betrayal and his continued desire for her to be his mate. Clay is deeply rooted in the pack so being with him would mean being a member of their pack.  A major problem with the book is their pack is small consisting of 7 werewolves.  They're bill as strong; and, pack life is supposed to be better than being a lone mutt.  However, in this story the antagonists a group of mutts who conspire against the pack is able to pick off (kill) pack members without any challenge from the attacked pack wolf.  The antagonist turned serial killers into members of their team.  The Alpha werewolf of the pack, Jeremy, though nurturing and respected by his pack, was a weak strategist, very hindsight: "coulda, shoulda". I was disappointed in Antonio (Jeremy's advisor and long time friend / pack mate) for not coming up with better plans to deal with the threats to the lives of the pack members.

When the author finally gets to the confrontation between the protagonists and antagonists it was a let down. I guess the creativity was spent.  The tone of the book is long-winded. There I was tied up and invested.  There were times where it felt like a lengthy through session of foreplay where you fight to stay in the moment and not rush things knowing the journey will lead you to an epic climax then somewhere in the session it becomes too much foreplay, body parts get sore, and you stop enjoying the journey and you just want to get to the climatic end; but, by then you come with no orgasm and the earth didn't shatter. You lie there thinking I listened to all that whining and complaining for this. Okay well I did enjoy a lot of the foreplay, maybe next time it will be a smoother journey and more climatic ending. Sorry if my analogy offends; but, it's the best way I could describe my first time read of an Armstrong tale specifically "Bitten". I definitely feel infested; the next installment, "Stolen", will be m next read.

Somewhat disappointing!  Would like more Native arts featured.

I had high hopes for this installment of life in Bandit Hills. Especially on Gallons would think the paranormal factor would be high but unfortunately it is not. The brief encounters we have is definitely not enough and I am left craving more. The writing itself is ok but the storyline seems too outrageous to be believable and not because of paranormal reasons. Hopefully the next book gets back to the paranormal more, there was less food which I appreciated but I'm just not feeling the paranormal.

Sorry ppl, Omerta is not awesome and it's not incredible. In all honesty, I'm scratching my head as to why someone like Mike Portnoy would associate himself with something like this after leaving Dream Theater. First he joins Avenged Sevenfold and now this? Both of these bands are beneath him.

Why am I so harsh on this album? Because it's nu-metal sounding BS, something you feed to 5yr old kids just to get their ears revved for heavier things to come. It's nu-metal with some lead solos. I was not really impressed with it at all and I am highly disappointed because I was looking forward to something alot more extraordinary about it, but in all honesty, it sucks.

But I have to admit, ADRENALINE MOB did a very good job at doing the cover songs on Coverta, so I do recommend getting that album. But Omerta just doesn't do it for me and I was let down. I also highly suggest you get the newly recent self-titled album from DREAM THEATER - now that was a good listen.

I hope MP continues to do his thing with WINERY DOGS because their debut album was a good listen and also continues his association with TRANSATLANTIC.

This had the potential to be a great game, but fell short. The other 3 three reviews on here are a bit harsh I think. If you can find this game... as I did, it is a very entertaining game. Being built on the Halflife engine is a plus too. I thought the female voice over of the computer lady was excellent and that the computer lady character itself was pretty cool too, but was kind of out place in this game's setting though.  There needed to be more variety in the different levels of the game. It spent way too much time in the second area, the alien planet, than it should have, and too short of a time in the western area which was excellent in my opinion.  But I have to say that the previous three reviews made this game sound a whole lot worse than it actually is.  I enjoyed the game for what it was and I think most people who enjoy good entertaining fps games would probably enjoy this one too.

She is definitely not Coyote Ugly!!!  Dunno much about the music, but if it's half as hot as that baked potato it is a real doozy.
