Justin Timberlake's
 FutureSex / LoveSounds $9.99 Great seller. CD was in exact condition as described. No problems. Shipment was fast. Would definitely do business with again.  FutureSex/LoveSounds $9.99 I first held off of being a justin fan because of the nsync stigma, but he actally started to produce some great music. When this cd came out my senior year in HS. It had been a while since he came out with his last cd, and this one didn't disppoint. It really had the best beats of any of the pop that were out during that time. I thought Sexyback had great hooks, the video had really good dancing. I thought lovestoned was creative and unique. It was like soemthing I had never really heard before. My love was a great single when it came out. Honestly half the cd was full hit singles. If your a pop music fan! This should def. go into your collection. This will be one of the cd's that will really define his career.  The Open Road $29.98 I am a big Jeff Bridges fan and appreciate everything he has done and such, but I didn't feel grabbed by this one at all. Not that there were horrible performances or bad film making, it just had a slew of little things peppered throughout that made me not give this the above average recommendation. The story follows a minor league ball player (Timberlake) suffering a slump, who has to get his famous big league dad (Bridges) to make a final visit to his estranged and dying ex-wife. Through some poorly staged events, they have to make it a road trip together across several states (instead of flying) to make this union happen. The scenery is quite beautiful in some of the sequences, and it even upstages some of the sparse dialogue as the long-parted kin find a way to re-connect. Kate Mara is the tag-along friend who offers the love interest of Timberlake, but the chemistry never materializes in ways it should have. The Blu quality is average to below average, with the strong showing being the opening aerial shot of the baseball game (must have used a different camera - they usually seem to in those kinds of scenes). Some of the color/contrasts in the open road shots shine nicely, but the amount of indoor and dark sequences show several weaknesses. The 5.1 is uneventful, and the only supplement offers little insight other than some typical fluff. Did not get to the commentary as I could not venture sitting through this twice. Three for the film content and Mr. Bridges (the supporting cast of Steenburgen and Harry Dean Stanton are not present enough to warrant dissecting their screen time). I love road films so maybe this will give you some light entertainment on a slow night. |
