Review

In the world of NASCAR, fans can essentially be separated into two groups: those who love Jeff Gordon and those who hate him. But whether or not his detractors want to admit it, Jeff Gordon has arguably done more to dispel NASCAR's image as a mere redneck past-time than any driver in history. This 81 minute disc, which profiles the driver both on and off the track, will not convert anyone into becoming fans, but it does do a decent job justifying his appeal to those who love him. I think it is prudent to mention that I'm a huge NASCAR fan, and Tony Stewart is my favorite driver. As such, I am required by law to hate Gordon. But even I have to admit Gordon's phenomenal driving skills, as well as his easygoing personality, have helped elevate the sport to the popularity it now enjoys. "24 x 24" glosses over the more controversial aspects of his career (such as his numerous rivalries with other drivers, and the division his presence creates among NASCAR fans), but he comes across as a nice guy, and this disc (while absolutely pandering to his millions of fans), adequately explains his importance to the sport, whether you like him or not.

Death Note Volume 1

Category: Quick Reviews
As I have mentioned the plot in my reviews of volume 2 and the "Death Note" live-action movie, I'm not going to go into great depth about the story. Basically, the story follows a teen named Light who finds a note book which belonged to a God Of Death named Ryuk. With mere words, the book enables Light to wish death upon anyone he desires, but he mostly uses it to kill off convicted criminals. All he has to do is write the exact name of the person in his book while having an image of the person's face in his mind.
