Inside Man

"This film renewed my faith in Denzel Washington and Spike Lee (24th Hour was filled with cathartic projection's of Lee's post 9/11 angst). Lee once again should have received an award for this movie. Denzel Washington, after delivering a string of predictable albeit great performances in mediocre movies, reminds us why he is still the crown bearer (Will Smith, your good but you've got nothing on t..."
Honey West DVD : The Complete TV Series
1 recommendation
"One of tv's first female detectives, Honey West aired only one season, from 1965 - 1966, and was produced by Aaron Spelling. Honey West, played by Anne Francis, is beautiful (natch), glamorous, smart, and deadly. She drives a kick ass Cobra and there's usually at least one fight scene per episode highlighting Honey's martial arts skills. Each episode is a different case, and the show is full of gr..."
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (Boxed Set Collection)
1 recommendation
"In my opinion Jeremy Brett IS Sherlock Holmes. I just revisited this series which I haven't seen in over 20 years. Its soooooo good! I'm addicted and planning to buy this boxed set as a Christmas gift to myself."
Dolores Claiborne
1 recommendation
"Kathy Bates and Stephen King make a great pairing. First she dazzles and frankly, scared the sh*t out of people in Misery, then she does another great performance as the mysterious, aloof yet endearing bat sh*t podunk mom. Awwww."
Airwolf - Season 1
1 recommendation
"Before Jan Michael Vincent became an alcoholic, he starred in this campy and kind of cool spy series.... Amazon.com Hip spy shows with covert agencies within agencies--like Alias and 24--are missing only one thing: A super-duper armor-plated helicopter with "nuclear-tipped shrike missiles." In the action series Airwolf, a mysterious national security agency called the Firm constructs a "Mac..."

Jack & Jill (Alex Cross): James Patterson

"I'm always down for a quick mystery novel. This one is about a child killer in Washington DC and their connection to the murder of a United States senator. Another great book involving detective Alex Cross."

From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler
2 recommendations
"I think this is required reading. Follow two kids that run away from home and end up living in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, learn to be self-sufficient and even solve a mystery along the way. One of my personal favorites growing up."
Electronic Spy Listening Device

"For all of your covert opps that require you to get in close range and listen to the bad guys you need to get background data on."
Heat
3 recommendations
"People either love this movie or hate. Which is what happens with brilliant pieces of work. I LOVE Heat. Most crime capers are saturated every 5 minutes with violence or melodrama (Scarface :P). Heat is subtle and brooding (delivered successfully by a huge cast of amazing actors). Only actors of this caliber could pull this off. Which is why I think the same style didn't work for Mann's Miami Vi..."
New Jack City
1 recommendation
"New Jack City is one of my favorite crime movies. And the soundtrack is just as amazing. You know what, with New Jack City and Law and Order, Ice T has really won me over."
Sherlock Holmes Chess Sets
1 recommendation
"I actually am recommending both the Sherlock chess sets from the Chess Store. The first Sherlock Holmes Chess Set, the brown and ivory one featured in the main photo, is my favorite. Thus spake the Chess Store: "The famous fictional private detective, created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is featured as the King in this remarkable chess set. His opponents are led by his arch enemy, Professor Mo..."
Seven

"Brad Pitt does 'asshole douchebag' really well (Kalifornia, Seven, Fight Club). This role is no exception. Quite a few scenes that will have you squirming in your seat. God bless the movie that brought us: "Whats in the booooooxxxxx?????""
Sports Bottle Hidden Camera
2 recommendations
"This is a nifty little camera hidden away in a sports bottle. You can take it any where and take what pictures you need. It even comes with a free receiver. It has several models in case you want color or night vision. Pretty cool!"
The Christys' Foldaway Fur Felt Fedora
1 recommendation
"Almost every man looks better in a fedora-they are the ultimate in cool from J.J. Gittes to Indiana Jones. They also have the advantage of portability-crush 'em into a corner of your suitcase, they'll pop back into shape and look as sharp as if they came out of a clunky hatbox. I wear mine as often as I can."
Blade Runner : The Final Cut
4 recommendations
"I've been waiting for this for too long. Unfortunately I'd seen the original theatrical release so many times that when I finally got a chance to see the far superior "Director's Cut" I still had the crappy Deckard's voiceover narration running in my head--nightmare! This time I'm ready, many years have past since the "Director's Cut" I can now enjoy the new "Final Cut" without total recall of Dec..."
The Big Sleep
1 recommendation
"Bogart and Bacall, at their best - with lines like, "She tried to sit in my lap while I was standing up", it hardly matters that the plot is impossible to follow."

"This is one of our favorite british TV series in which an ambitious detective, DS Nicky Cole (Don Gilet) tries to make a name for himself so he can get off the night shift and back onto days. Along the way he makes friends with the CPS Lawyer, Claire Maxwell (Dervla Kirwan). Set in Newcastle, the series is fabulously written, well cast and the story lines are impeccable. My favorite character i..."
Seven (1995)
2 recommendations
"A superb and chilling thriller about two homicide detectives' desperate hunt for a serial killer who justifies his crimes as absolution for the world's ignorance of the Seven Deadly Sins. The movie takes us from the tortured remains of one victim to the next as the sociopathic "John Doe" sermonizes to Detectives Sommerset and Mills -- one sin at a time. The sin of Gluttony comes first and the murd..."

Nancy Drew: Twelve Classic Covers from America's Favorite Teenage Sleuth (Magnetic Postcards)
1 recommendation
"I enjoyed reading the Nancy Drew books when I was a preteen, so I enjoyed the "blast from the past" when I came across these cool retro magnetic postcards. (I was secretly relieved I wasn't expected to share them with anyone else -- or at least I don't think they're meant to share. Gulp.)"

Newsletter - Aileen G. Baron
1 recommendation
"The three of them sat in the shade of the Jeep, mouths dry, throats heavy with the scorching air, seared by relentless heat, huddled close, but still not completely sheltered from the unforgiving sun. They were almost out of water, just a few drops in their canteens and in the canvas bag hanging limp on the side of the Jeep."

Aileen G. Baron - Biography
1 recommendation
"Writing is my third career. As a wife and mother of four sons, I did all the traditional things: driving my sons to baseball games and swimming meets, car pooling, acting as den mother, going to PTA meetings, until the family moved to Jerusalem for two and a half years while my husband, a biochemist, did research."
Storm Front
1 recommendation
"There seems to be a new genre of supernatural detective mysteries and I've been eating them all up. The latest one I've read is Storm Front. Good if you like your detectives to be wizardly, surly and making wise-ass remarks. Add in a supernatural world of vampires, werewolves, faeries, and demons and you get a pretty interesting page-turner."
