All reviews by user Date  Helpful Rating 0 out of 0 users found this helpful  the exceptionally good bob dylanPosted: 8/1/2006A review of Good As I Been To You by Anonymous i liked every song on this album but some i loved. examples are blackjack davey, arthur mcbride, little maggie, youre gonna quit me, jim jones, and froggie went a courtin. once again, mr. dylan covered a vast geographical territory of quietly intense emotions. there are songs of sadness - jim jones, stalker warnings - youre gonna quit me, mystically,demonically menacing - blackjack davey, obscure at least to me- historical cheekiness - arthur mcbride. many types of music attract me. i am always pleased when i can discover wonderful what-i-call folk sagas from all parts of the u.s.a. and all parts of the world. and though i didnt hear this album until the early 2000s, it moved me so much that i had to have it. we learned a slightly different version of froggie went a courtin when i was young but i was glad to hear it again. i think ive said enough.

Sign In 0 out of 0 users found this helpful sinister rivers of redPosted: 10/27/2003A review of The Crimson Rivers (Les Rivieres Pourpres) by Anonymous there was a keen moodiness, surrealism, and a quiet, "building" suspense in this film - the title intrigued me, the subject matter - the eternal struggle to build a "master race" , based on alleged superior ancestry, origins, etc., the whole "eugenics" questiion that humans can't seem to stay away from - this is not the typical "^*#$" atrocity movie; one of my favorite french actors, jean reno, appears as a puzzled, slightly behind the hi-tech times; but quick minded detective, taken out of his usual element to pursue "extremely" unusual murder in an academically elite " and "closed" university environment in northern france (if i'm not mistaken), there are secret experiments, old murders, cloning, new murders to confront, a "twin" mystery , neo-^*#$s; many twists to this movie - mr. reno is balanced with a hot-shot, in your face, hi-tech young detective, and an enigmatic super intelligent, super-physical , super-secretive female student who may or may not have the answer to the riddle of the body hanging from the mountain of ice - this is a disturbing, well thought-out thriller - i'd recommend it to anyone who likes an unconventional thriller Was this review helpful?
