To Lenny with Love

A Whole Lotta Lenny

Advantages: Pretty much all the Kravitz tunes anyone really needs, intelligently sequenced
Disadvantages: Short by current Greatest Hits CD standards, only 1 new recording

Throughout his career - now into its third decade almost without anyone noticing the fact - Lenny Kravitz has been subjected to cries of "pretender", "plagirist" and "self-deluded rock icon". In fairness, the once-dreadlocked lothario has often played into the hands of critics with a string of serviceable and anthemic would-be-classic rock tunes that either draw inspiration from the greats such as Lennon and Hendrix, or mercilessly rip them off - depending on your point of view. This Greatest Hits release is not premature, despite appearances (just 15 tracks in all is comparatively short for such occasions). Kravitz is one of those acts most likely to benefit from a collection of his best-known moments, as all too often the hits and few and far between on the individual studio albums.

Addicted to Love

Advantages: Meg Ryan, it's a nice film
Disadvantages: More for the lasses than the lads

Addicted to Love is a romantic comedy featuring two extremely amiable stars. Meg Ryan and Matthew Broderick are both competent, inoffensive stars, who (generally) make competent inoffensive movies.

Review of Addicted To Love (DVD)

Ex's not to be Messed with!

Advantages: Good funny film, great characters
Disadvantages: Annoying French accent

I decided to make the most of the last day without my boys and sat down to watch a good chick flick! Addicted to Love is one which I have seen in Tesco?s on many occasions but decided not to buy as it is not my hubby?s sort of film. I am please to say that I thoroughly enjoyed it. The film is centred around Sam who at the start of the film is madly in love with his girlfriend who takes a two month job in New York. Sam is excited when she is due back but soon he finds himself devastated when his girlfriend father tell him that she is staying in New York and their relationship is over. Sam goes to New York to track her down and to bring her home. Sam arrives in New York to find his girlfriend is living with a new man. He soon meets Maggie who is the ex-fiancé of the man his girlfriend is living with and they decide to team up to ...
