Movie Summary
David Benoit, “Full Circle”
I must confess that I am just an occasional fan of David Benoit. He is a very accomplished piano player and a lot of people like him. However, he normally tends to be a little too smooth and mellow for me.
Justin Timberlake, Cherish, Fergie and Daz
Remember the time when groups like SWV, Sista and En Vouge could actually sing? R&B quartet Cherish won’t remind ones of those times.
Tobacco Stains by Patsy T. Moore
The events that happen to the wife and mother in Tobacco Stains are, at times, so intensely painful and shocking, it is amazing that the book is based on real life experiences.
