Sandler and Barrymore-together again  for the first time since The Wedding Singer!

This is a great comedy about a womaniser who changes his ways when he  finally meets his soulmate.

But there's a twist. She suffers from a  rare condition that makes her forget everything she  does from one day to the next!

Now the guy has to come up with ways to make the girl  fall in love with him-every day! There is a happy ending but I won't ruin it for those who have not seen it.

 This is Sandler at his very best, and Barrymore never looked so gorgeous! She has come a long way and is one of the top talented actresses out there.

Another one of these inexplicable mysteries in the film industry: Why on earth is this not on DVD yet?? It is excellent !! Max Schell, as usual, is wonderful. But so is the entire supporting cast, especially Jeremy Kemp, Helmut Griem, Ursuala Andress, and Christoph Eichorn. For some odd reason, great TV historical mini-series from the 80's were ignored when DVD's came out. For example: 'Son of the Morning Star' and 'Marco Polo' never made it as well.  But fear not, we can all sit back and watch DVD's of Charlie Sheen sitcoms.

Greg Gutfeld is my new favorite person. This book is very, very funny.  It's also good for a short attention span (or if you just don't have lots of time to read) because it's written in snippets.  Oh, and he hammers liberals, so if you are one, maybe you want to skip this book.

I've listened to PG for the last thirty years and I think this album is his best ever.  To really understand the amount of work that went into this album you must listen with headphones.  There are slight whispers and sounds within all of his albums going back to early Genesis and in UP he continues to communicate with layers of sounds and resonance.  I consider him a true Auteur.  One can only hope that he'll take this album on tour; he is one of the best live performers I've ever seen.  There is an audio interview with Peter Gabriel from NPR where he talks at length about the making of UP and some of the things going on in his life today.  The article title is "NPR : Peter Gabriel" .

...BR>Mr. Guttenplan is a very good writer and he manages to actually bring the reader into the trial, and compels you to keep reading, almost by a sheer force of will.  His writing style is very dramatic and extremely vivid.  Most importantly since this book is about a REAL trial, he is about as fair and detached as one could be considering the subject and the despicable nature of David Irving.  Mr. Guttenplan goes out of his way, almost as if he doesn't want to be the next person hauled into court, to be very fair and give the pseudo-historian David Irving the benefit of the doubt. Make no mistake, he finds Irving repellant and his position on the holocaust abhorrent and unconvincing.  Despite this he tries to be fair, and he does a good job.
If people like history mixed with some flair, some drama, and some excellently written plot devices, you will love this book and actually LEARN something!!
I read it in 4 days, and I was thinking about it when I wasn't reading the book.  It will stay with you. Despite his misguided introduction on the nature of history and his questionable conclusion on the same subject, the trial part (over 90% of the book) is fabulous.

As a musicologist, I come across a huge range of music, and a huge range of talent, but I can honestly say that Peter Cincotti is one of the great jazz talents of our age, with a versatility that is even more salient in his second cd than in the first. If you're more into the old standards, Peter's self-titled first cd simply cannot be beat; plus its full of his own compositions, which are impressive even BEFORE you realize he wrote them before he turned 20. If you want to hear him swing AND lay down some unexpected funk to some pop/jazz songs you thought you knew, buy the second cd as well! Either way, you can't go wrong! Peter is a great composer and arranger and his talent is astonishing. His piano skills alone might have made him famous, but he's a double threat, with smooth vocals that convey the emotions of someone who's lived a life three times as long. He's also a fabulous and charismatic live performer! I've been to many shows already and will keep on going. So, my advice is this: Buy his cds! Go to his shows! 4 out of 4 musicologists think you'd be crazy not to.

Jerry Seinfeld has acknowledged Robert Klein as a strong early influence.  I'll go one better.  I think Klein is the link between Lenny Bruce and Jerry Seinfeld.  Where Bruce was truly an iconoclastic social critic and Seinfeld is a brilliant observer who we seem to know very little about personally, with Klein one comes away feeling as though they've learned something about the culture and quite a bit about the man.  Despite our 20 years' difference in ages, I feel like I grew up with Klein and his HBO specials.  (Now I can finally have pristine copies of the videotapes that I have prized for the last 25 years!)

Klein's artistry is in his fluid descriptions of the large and small details of life in America and how they influenced his thinking.  He is articulate and incisive, but can be vulgar when needed.  If you watch this DVD in chronological order you come away with a true appreciation for his dedication to his craft, and his willingness to stretch himself and expose himself over the years.  While he is not as outrageous as Carlin (who often resorts to extreme, almost unbelievable hyperbole to make his comedic points), he is every bit as intelligent, and just as funny.

More than anything, I come away with a sense of this artist's humanity and I can relate and laugh my head off.  Also included are all his great,  underappreciated musical numbers, including various versions of "I Can't Stop My Leg," "Colonoscopy" and "The Bronx is Beautiful."

This is the best DVD I"ve bought in a long time.  If you're looking for who turned Seinfeld on to comedy, check out Robert Klein. He's the real thing.

Very good read and I highly recommend it. Gutfelds background gives him some license to claim himself a bit of an expert when commenting on the current state of the media bias we are seeing today.

Preach it bro!  Gutfeld may sound like a whiner (and he is), but so are the talking heads at CNN and MSNBC. It is refreshing to hear it from the "other side".  At least Gutfeld isn't a "good soldier" to the status quo.  The guy can write to the point where you say, "yeah, that is EXACTLY" what I was thinking!"  He calls out dudes I have called out for years-- rockers, actors, etc-- who have the pulpit 'cause they can pretend in front of a camera really well and are pretty (like that should qualify anyone). Way to go!!!  Now, if I could just get my wife to read it!

I am a long-time, hardcore Holdsworth fan so trust me when I say to you....This CD and "Road Games" and "One Of A Kind" and "Metal Fatigue" and "Believe It'" are arguably his most definitive album performances, other than rare bootleg's recorded from live dates. But be warned; some of those "boots" aren't well-recorded or as focused a performance as this CD is.

 I.O.U. (eponymously titled) from his I.O.U. band features the renown guitarist in the greatest band chemistry he ever had.... the best  since he teamed with Tony Williams, Tony Newton and Alan Pasqua on "Believe It"...The best band unity since he teamed with Jeff Berlin, Dave Stewart and Bill Bruford on "One Of A Kind."

The telepathy in the fusion trio of Holdsworth, Paul Carmichael (bass) and Gary Husband (drums) is uncanny on these enigmatic and haunting compositions written by Allan using the uncommon and at times "unholy" chord progressions that Allan is renown for.

This disc features the poignant "saxaphone-like" guitar tone and powerful technical guitar solos over complex and mysterious chord progressions that Allan is renown for inventing.

Those who can't get into this CD are limited by their own imagination. I sincerely mean that. This is music is art. The heartbreaking pathos and technical brilliance of Allan is analogous to the forces Robert DeNiro used in his sensitive and powerful portrayal of Travis Bickle in Taxi Driver. The uniquely inspired combination of the subtle poignant and the furiously powerful are one and the same.

If you "dis" this CD it's because you missed the subtlely and nuance found in the interplay of this magical trio's interpretation of these profound compositions.

I give this disc 5 stars...it is one of my top five fusion discs of all-time.

Give it a half dozen listens without interuption before you judge it. Only then will you begin to see what is actually occuring within the velvet darkness that is...I.O.U.

This is one of the best matchups of two of the most seminal figures in jazz today.  There is no saxophonist alive more worthy of playing alongside the legendary pianist from the John Coltrane Quartet of the 1960s than Michael Brecker.  His style is very much influenced by Coltrane's ideas and harmonic innovations but he still manages to have a completely original voice.  His playing on this date is up to his usual standard of excellence and truly seems to inspire and push the trio forward.  One of the reasons that Tyner and Brecker play extremely well together is that both heavily employ the use of pentatonics.  Their styles mesh amazingly well.
The music itself is mostly written by Tyner with a few exceptions including their take on Coltrane's classic Impressions.  Brecker truly extends himself on this modal standard but the highlight of the album is the first track, Flying High.  Both Brecker and Tyner are in top form and play beautifully with extreme intensity.
This is one of my favorite jazz albums in my collection of over 200.  You will not be dissapointed if you buy it.
Also, Avery Sharpe takes one the most amazing bass solos I have ever heard on Thelonious Monk's I Mean You and is truly up to the challenge of playing with such top-notch players.

I don't understand a word of this album, but his music is mesmerizing.  The beat, tone, rhythms; the orchestra background, the female backup singers.  I am over the top with Peter Fox.  Oh, the fact that it came from Germany is such a short period of time, in great condition even adds more the the Amazon experience.  Woo Hoo!!!

Mr. Gutfeld is spot on with his commentary.  His ability to speak great truth with wit and bite is remarkable.  I, truly, appreciate his conversational tone.  It seems that he is sitting at a table with you expressing his views from a stream of consciousness that is extraordinarily accessible and amusing.

With a sleek, soulful style combined with the hard edge of hip-hop, Jaheim makes it all work and outdoes himself on this album.  With a sound reminiscent of a young Teddy Pendergrass, Jaheim is truly at his best in Fabulous....Put That Woman First.....Diamond In Da Ruff...the entire CD is Jaheim at the top of his game.  Jaheim demonstrates the type of artist that you rarely see these days...with true talent, and with an appeal that reaches the very mature listener and the hip-hop crowd.  One of the very few artists whose CDs I actually purchase......this one is a must for the collection.

This is WONDERFUL. The third album collaboration between Gerrard and Schulze. They first worked together on FARSCAPE, a studio CD which was quickly followed by a recorded live performance and DVD entitled RHEINGOLD and then DZIEKUJE BARDZO. ALL of these are gorgeous efforts. Both Schulze and Gerrard are in rare form and deliver stirring performances. The accompanying DVDs are excellent. HIGHLY recommended.

If you've ever watched Gutfeld on Fox News ("The Five"), then you already know the tone of this book.  It's pure, unadulterated Gutfeld - complete with the snappy metaphors and slightly lewd humor.  Also, it has some of the most salient exposition of the left's intolerant behavior I've ever read.  An informative and entertaining read!
