1. How
to Succeed in Business Without a Penis : Secrets and Strategies for the
Working Woman
Avg.
Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com: The provocative
title is just the beginning. Wait till you see what's inside... Written by
former advertising executive and self-confessed workaholic Karen Salmansohn,
this is not your mother's advice book. Nope, no warm and maternal platitudes
here. Salmansohn has written a devilishly funny and utterly bawdy book that
also happens to be intelligent and insightful. Salmansohn takes gender roles,
chews them up, spits them out and tells working women how to get out there in
the world and get what they deserve.

From Amazon.com: A few times in your life, someone will tell you
something so right, so deeply true that it changes you forever. That is what
Anna Quindlen, author of the timeless bestseller
A Short Guide to a Happy Life, does here.
In
Being Perfect, she shares wisdom
that, perhaps without knowing it, you have longed to hear: about “the
perfection trap,” the price you pay when you become ensnared in it, and the
key to setting yourself free. Quindlen believes that when your success looks
good to the world but doesn’t feel good in your heart, it isn’t success at
all. She asks you to set aside your friends’ advice, what your family and
co-workers demand, and what society expects, and look at the choices you make
every day. When you ask yourself why you are making them, Quindlen encourages
you to give this answer: For me. "Because they are what I want, or wish for.
Because they reflect who and what I am. . . . That way lies dancing to the
melodies spun out by your own heart." At the core of this beautiful book lies
the secret of authentic success, the inspiration to embrace your own
uniqueness and live the life that is undeniably your own, rich in fulfillment
and meaning.

The Reinvention of Work : A New Vision of Livelihood for
Our Time

From Amazon.com:
In
The Reinvention of Work,
radical priest Matthew Fox draws on a rich legacy of great mystics and
philosophers and proposes a spirituality of work. As Thomas Aquinas said, "To
live well is to work well," and in this bold call for the revitalization of
daily work, Fox shares his vision of a world where our personal and
professional lives are celebrated in harmony--a world where the self is not
sacrificed for a job but is sanctified by authentic "soul work."

Essential Leonard Cohen [LIMITED EDITION] [ORIGINAL
RECORDING REMASTERED]
Original Release Date: 2002
Avg.
Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com:
This two-disc retrospective traces the Canadian
bard's musical maturity from poet and novelist who sang a little to
multidimensional artist whose oracular vocals and increasingly rich
arrangements are every bit as compelling as his verse. Even when Cohen came to
prominence through the 1960s songcraft of "Suzanne" and "Bird on a Wire," the
"folksinger" tag never really fit. Later highlights ranging from the deadpan
drollery of "Tower of Song" and "Everybody Knows" to the apocalyptic anthemry
of "First We Take Manhattan" and "Democracy" suggest that other labels might
be more appropriate: cabaret surrealist, spiritual gadfly, sensual prophet,
agent provocateur. Cohen chose the selections, drawing more than half of the
31 tracks from three landmark albums--his 1967 debut
Songs of Leonard Cohen, 1988's
I'm Your Man, and 1992's
The Future--along with four from 2001's
Ten New Songs. The collection justifies
its title as deep as it goes, though it's a shame that Cohen's commercial
profile couldn't justify the more elaborate box set his artistry warrants (one
that would at least include lyrics and musician credits). Those who sample the
consistently inspired music here might come to the conclusion that everything
Cohen records is essential.

From Amazon.com:
Because this 1988 album produced hits for
others ("Passionate Kisses" for Mary Chapin Carpenter, "The Night's Too Long"
for Patty Loveless), Williams is best known as a songwriter. She certainly
deserves the rep: her "Side of the Road," for example, expresses the tension
between loving another and remaining yourself better than any song ever
written. But what makes this album so special is her voice. When she sings
about wanting to visit "Crescent City," she packs more sheer longing into her
delivery than even the greatest of songs could express. And, bonus,

Amadeus - Director's Cut (Two-Disc Special Edition)
(1984) ~ DVD
Avg.
Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com:
A note-perfect cinematic event whose
immortality was assured from its opening night,
Amadeus
is an unlikely candidate for the director's-cut treatment. Like one of
Mozart's operas, the multiple Oscar-winning theatrical version seemed
perfectly formed from the outset--ideal casting, costumes, sets,
cinematography, lighting, screenplay, music, music, music--so the
reinstatement of an extra 20 minutes simply risks adding "too many notes." Yet
though this extended cut can hardly be said to improve a picture that needed
no improvement, it does at least flesh out a couple of small subplots and shed
new light on certain key scenes. Here we learn why Constanze Mozart bears such
ill will towards Salieri when she discovers him at her husband's deathbed, and
we see deeper into the reasons why Mozart has no students. The structure of
the picture is otherwise unaltered.
The director's cut of
Amadeus
finally accords this masterful work the DVD treatment it deserves. The
handsome anamorphic widescreen picture is accompanied by a choice of Dolby 5.1
or Dolby stereo sound options, and it's all contained on one side of the disc.
Director Milos Forman and writer Peter Shaffer provide a chatty though
sporadic commentary, but they're obviously still too mesmerized by the movie
to do much more than offer the odd anecdote. The second disc contains an
excellent new hour-long "making of" documentary, with contributions from
Forman, Shaffer, Sir Neville Marriner, and all the main actors, taking in the
scriptwriting, choice of music, casting, and problems involved in filming in
Communist Czechoslovakia with half the crew and extras working for the Secret
Police.

Frida
(2003) ~ DVD
Avg.
Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com:
Salma Hayek makes up for many bad movies with
her fierce performance in this sumptuous film. Hayek plays the Mexican
surrealist painter Frida Kahlo, whose tempestuous life with her unfaithful
husband, muralist Diego Rivera (Alfred Molina), drives the story of
Frida.
Maverick director Julie Taymor (Titus,
the Broadway stage production of
The Lion King) pulls out a wealth of
gorgeous visuals to capture everything from the horrific bus accident that
damaged Kahlo's spine to her and Rivera's trip to New York City, where
Rivera's political leanings ruptured a commission from the Rockefeller family.
Though the script spends too much time telling us how great Frida's painting
is (rather than trusting in the power of the images themselves), Taymor's
dynamic energy and Kahlo's forceful personality give Frida genuine emotional
impact. The superb cast includes Roger Rees, Valeria Golino, Ashley Judd,
Geoffrey Rush, Antonio Banderas, and Edward Norton.

Pirates of the Caribbean - The
Curse of the Black Pearl
(2003) ~ DVD
Avg. Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com:
You won't need a bottle of rum to enjoy
Pirates of the Caribbean - The
Curse of the Black Pearl,
especially if you've experienced the Disneyland theme-park ride that inspired
it. There's a galleon's worth of fun in watching Johnny Depp's androgynous
performance as Captain Jack Sparrow, a roguish pirate who could pass for the
illegitimate spawn of rockers Keith Richards and Chrissie Hynde. Depp gets all
the good lines and steals the show, recruiting Orlando Bloom (a blacksmith and
expert swordsman) and Keira Knightley (a lovely governor's daughter) on an
adventurous quest to recapture the notorious Black Pearl, a ghost ship
commandeered by Jack's nemesis Capt. Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush), a mutineer
desperate to reverse the curse that left him and his (literally) skeleton crew
in a state of eternal, undead damnation. Director Gore Verbinski (The
Ring) repeats the redundant mayhem that marred his debut film
Mouse Hunt, but with the writers of
Shrek he's made
Pirates
into a special-effects thrill-ride that plays like a Halloween party on the
open seas. | |||||||||
