Wow. Does this ever suck. I don't know how they managed to bowdlerize the story of Messalina, but they did. She barely seemed naughty, let alone the biggest whore of her era. And the rest of the movie was similarly evened out into an unpalatable, bland, mass of movie tofu. Yuck!

Richard Matheson: Collected Stories, Vol. 1
$16.95
5 stars for stories 0 stars for editing

As you all know, Richard Matheson's stories are the cornerstone of what has now become modern horror literature. His simplistic way of injecting the very brunt of terror into the hearts and minds of so many people has solidified his true and unequivocal greatness, and who I believe should be bestowed first class treatment in the compiling of his unparalleled stories into 3 volumes. Yes, great idea, but poor execution. The word edit obviously lost sufficient meaning in the pen headed mind of Stanley Wiater: the dumb moron who apparently didn't edit worth a s**t Matheson's stories. It's misleading and deceptive to print edit upon a book with myriad typos and misspells and, then, put a price tag on it. What a shame...

The Dreaming Sea
$16.98
This is an album to be enjoyed again and again. Karen Matheson's versatile yet always melodic voice shines with brilliant clarity in this diverse collection of songs, from traditional tunes in Scottish Gaelic to modern ones in English. The instrument arrangements accompanying her voice are also truly superb on this album. My favorites today include the cheerful "fac thu na feidh," and the classic, hauntingly beautiful "an fhideag airgid." But every single track on this album is excellent, and I could easily have different choices tomorrow. So many CDs are played once or twice and then sit on the shelf. Not this one: it's a great investment in listening pleasure well worth buying.
