Mildessa Mild German Sauerkraut, 28.6 oz. Can Pros: The mild flavor let’s you taste all of your sandwich, not soggy or drippy like supermarket brands. Cons: Because it comes in a can, you need to have a container ready for leftovers. I adore Manhattan Deli in Reno. Housed in Atlantis Casino Resort Spa, its menu boasts Reuben

SABATA Pros: Lee Van Cleef; some decent action down the stretch Cons: Villains aren’t particularly threatening at any point; feels small-scale when compared to the best Italo-westerns A few years after Italian producer Alberto Grimaldi and director Sergio Leone had wrapped up the so-called “Dollars Trilogy” with 1966’s magnificent The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly,
Bulworth Pros: The sheer audacity and political incorrectness of it, original storytelling. Cons: Some imperfections Warren Beatty’s 1998 dramedy/satire Bulworth is one film that made a minor impact at the time. But seems to have been forgotten by much of the public. Wag The Dog, another political satire from the same period, seems to be
Takeya Glass Bottle with Silicone Sleeve Pros: Reusable, dishwasher safe, glass, silicone sleeve Cons: none for me, some might consider the lack of a straw or spout a problem. I’m a water fanatic.

In The Dark Of The Night by John Saul Pros: Engaging story… Cons: … with unrealistic elements and ridiculous character flaws In The Dark Of The Night by John Saul is a decent thriller, if you can handle a story that falls into the realms of “horror” and “paranormal”. This is not normally my preference. I
F/X Pros: Consistently enjoyable, with a nice sense of pace, brisk editing, and plenty of surprises Cons: Nothing major In the middle of a pouring rainstorm, a man wearing a trench coat forces his way into a crowded, extremely posh restaurant. He spots a well-dressed woman sitting in the back of the hall, enjoying a
Pros: Sound design is pretty cool Cons: Photography is awful; script is dumb; film is pointless Though I’ve been a long-time fan of horror movies (thank you, USA’s “Up All Night!”), I’ve made a conscious effort to avoid many of the so-called horror films being produced in recent years primarily due to the fact
Aquaman Vol. 4: Death of a King (The New 52) Pros: Gorgeous artwork with some future story elements plugged in Cons: Johns cuts corners on his writing at times After defeating his brother Orm whom is now being referred to as Ocean Master, Aquaman reclaims the throne of Atlantis and he hopes to one day
