Johanna Spyri, Eloise Jarvis McGraw, Helen B. Dole, Leslie Kimmelman - Heidi
Heidi: A Classic Tale of Transforming Love
by befus
Pros: Beautifully descriptive prose; well-drawn characters who go through believable transformations

Cons: Modern readers might find the occasional moralizing tone a bit off-putting

I count myself blessed that I grew up in a home filled with books and a love for reading. My parents invested in many children's classics, many of which I read over and over. I can still see one shelf in my mind's eye, filled with beautifully colored ...

Thumbsucker
A Great Film that Sucks: Mike Mills's Understated THUMBSUCKER
by xxxxer
Pros: Top notch performances, an almost downplayed approach that makes the film even more meaningful
Cons: Possibly too formulaic for some audiences; some awkward moments thematically speaking
Based on Walter Kirn's autobiographical novel of the same name, first-time director Mike Mills has crafted what has to be one of the most surprisingly poignant and quietly memorable films of recent years. While this film all but sank into obscurity upon ...

Haagen - Dazs Vanilla & Almonds with Milk Chocolate Ice Cream Bar 3 Bars 9oz
Yummy!
by Stephen_Murray
Pros: thick, creaming chocolate coating
Cons: too much sugar, too much saturated fat (sounds like a summary of American diet!)
I feel that during the summer (which despite living in San Francisco, I still conceive of as ending rather than beginning with Labor Day) I am entitled to indulge in chocolate-coated ice-cream novelties. Given the few choices Costo provides, I alternate ...
