Rating: - * flyer than a pelican ... Janet has had some tough recent years. Her last few albums haven't had much impact, due to her sadly being defined by the superbowl incident and her weight fluctuation. She does not get the credit she deserves. I do think she hasn't really been putting her all into these last few albums, but at her weakest she is still in the game creating records that are better than all the other crap out there. Discipline is a little experimental, a little nasty, very gay, and overall a good disc. But she can do better, which I think is why so many people are having problems with her. Due to her using all these different producers, the overall album just seems very calculated, but still enjoyable. Discipline has your upbeat stuff (Feedback, luv, 2nite, rock with u) and cheese-drenched ballads (greatest x, never letchu go, can't be good). There is the requisite track featuring missy elliot, a track where janet tells her daddy to whip her, and a perversely so-bad-it's-good song called "so much betta" which utilizes a daft punk sample. This is classic janet jackson, updated for 2008...who was maybe smoking something while she recorded the album. Don't be jealous. Rating: - * Ms. Jackson if Ya NASTY!! ... I listened to Discipline more than Damita Jo! This album has a lot of hard dance beats that had me feeling sultry (lol). I think this album should have received my recognition than it did. I would also love to see JJ make more mature adult sounds like she has done in the past because I really miss her more mid tempo songs too. But all in all the album had alot of club songs that were HOTT. Rating:  - * Janet Jackson \"Disciplin\" ... Singer, Actress and Television Performer Janet Jackson's latest studio album "Discipline" reached #1 on The Billboard 200 Album Chart and has sold 415,000 copies in the US according to Nielsen SoundScan (9-19-08) My first memory of Janet is on her 1976/1977 Variety show with her brother's Michael Jackson, and The Jacksons. She has had a long career, just as Hillary has. Interestingly, In the 2008 Presidential Primary race, Hillary Clinton earned more Votes than any other Presidential Primary candidate in the history of America (hillaryclintonforum, The Denver Group) Rating:  - * Still Can't Understand What Your'e Saying When Singing ... Janet...If you read these comments, please take the public's advice, we are the people who pay your bills, and maintain your lifestyle. If you make another album, let your man Jermaine Dupri, hook you up. You should have guest appearances of top rappers, and singers for collaborations. You should make a more R&B album like you did with Damita Jo, and 1993's album janet. Also trying singing in a language the public can understand. A lot of people don't like your music, because we can't understand what you are singing about. I still love you, but please change your style, bite off of Rhianna, Ciara, and Beyonce. These new school diva's took your spot. Hang it up!!! Rating: - * janet is awesome ... At first I only liked a handful of songs but the more I listened the more those songs are the songs I love and I just like the rest. I am actually going to pay to go to concert (non-cheap seats too) and it is to see her and hear her old and NEW stuff. If LL Cool J opens that would really be icing on the cake. |
It's three movies in one, beginning when punctuality-obsessed Federal Express systems engineer Chuck Noland (Tom Hanks) departs on Christmas Eve to escort an ill-fated flight of FedEx packages. Following a mid-Pacific plane crash, movie number two chronicles Chuck's four-year survival on a remote island, totally alone save for a Wilson volleyball (aptly named "Wilson") that becomes Chuck's closest "friend." Movie number three leads up to Chuck's rescue and an awkward encounter with his ex-girlfriend Kelly (Helen Hunt, in a thankless role), for whom Chuck has seemingly risen from the grave.
It's fascinating to witness Chuck's emerging survival skills, and Hanks's remarkable physical transformation is matched by his finely tuned performance. With slow, rhythmic camera moves and brilliant use of sound, Zemeckis wisely avoids the postcard prettiness of The Black Stallion and The Blue Lagoon to emphasize the harshness of Chuck's ascetic solitude, and this stylistic restraint allows Cast Away to resonate more than one might expect. Even the final scene--which feels like a crowd-pleasing compromise--offers hope without shoving it down our throats. You may not feel the emotional rush that you're meant to feel, but Cast Away remains a respectable effort. --Jeff Shannon
