Normally, I like to review a film straight after watching it, while my thoughts are still predominantly focused on what I have just seen. However, this time, I am attempting to write this a couple of weeks after watching the film. Why? Because it has taken a while to decide how I felt about it. But I decided I did want to try to review it, so although I am unsure how this review will go, I’ll give it a try.
Film reviews are relatively easy if you love or hate a film. Even if the film is dull and boring, you can usually get a decent enough review out of it. With this film, all three apply. I hated parts of it, I loved parts of it and some bits were just dull with a capital D.

Advantages: Well, it's listenable Disadvantages: It's not actually any good though, better off with Hole
Despite constantly being in the headlines ? mostly for drug charges recently ? you have to wonder just how far CourtneyLove?s singing and acting career would have got if she hadn?t been Mrs Kurt Cobain. Her former band Hole certainly made the most of the grunge association to release three albums.
Courtney?s solo debut doesn?t deviate too far from Hole?s legacy, but seems to combine elements of all three of their albums. The vocal style is definitely more in the singing style of Celebrity Skin. Otherwise, however, it?s not quite as polished as that album, and somewhere between Pretty On The Inside and Live Through This. I?d say the song-writing is closer to the former (i.e. fairly poor), but at least the production?s better than Hole?s debut.
The opening track ?Mono? is probably the best the album has to offer ? and the only ...

Manufacturer's product description
We open on Ai unconscious and sprawled sexily on a Tokyo street or alley her clothes thrashed and torn. She gets up and wanders into the Tokyo night confused and in shock and wondering Where am I?" Ai is holding a heart-shaped box (which holds the Tenketsu jewelry given to her by Nora.) As she nears a busier street a crook steals Ai's heart-shaped box and runs away. Almost immediately the crook begins to weaken from the toxic effect the box has on humans making it easy for Kent to catch him and knock him down. As Kent reaches for the heart-shaped box Ai snaps at him not to touch it. Ai's reluctance to explain why she snapped at Kent makes Kent believe Ai doesn't trust him. In truth Ai was only trying to protect him. As Kent tries to comfort the addled Ai he asks her where she's going. Not knowing what to say Ai reads Kent's work I.D. badge and tells him she's heading for the University library (possibly the library at Shinjuku University). Kent clueless tells Ai he's going there too (he's working the closing shift tonight) and they go together. When Ai tries to get into the library without an I.D. Kent discovers she's not a student but lets her in anyway.Ai's keen intelligence naivete and thirst for knowledge about her new world make Kent really important and special to her. As Kent familiarizes Ai with the library romantic sparks fly between them. Eventually Kent must close the library for the night and the two of them leave. Not wanting to admit to Kent that she's got nowhere to go Ai wanders into the night hungry and lost...until she's "recruited" by a nightclub scout for Club Cupid. Note: In this chapter there may be some evidence of feathers at special emotional moments (as a hint of Ai's angelic side.) Chapter 2: Ai reluctantly accepts work in a nightclub (Club Cupid). Later that night in the pre-dawn hours of the morning an exhausted Ai leaves the club and wanders to the only place she knows: the University library. Ai sleeps in a doorway until she's discovered by Kent (who's working the opening shift at the library.) Kent offers to take Ai to the apartment he shares with his roommate Hikaru and Ai agrees.On the way to the apartment Kent might mention that he has an on-again/off-again relationship with his roommate Hikaru but it should be kept somewhat vague so that the reader is surprised when it's revealed that Hikaru is male. Kent puts Ai to bed and Kent and Hikaru argue over Kent bringing Ai home. Hikaru's got stronger feelings for Kent than Kent has for Hikaru and Hikaru is jealous of Ai. After Ai has rested she feels unwelcome at the apartment and returns to the library. We show a research montage as Ai pores over information on biology physics hematology and so on. Ai will be able to see the Enoch reading of "Ai-Land" on the crest in Chapter 2. That night Ai has her first night on the job at the nightclub. The chapter ends with a scene in the rain between Ai and Kent (a love scene?) with Hikaru spying on them. Note: In this chapter there may be some evidence of feathers at special emotional moments (as a hint of Ai's angelic side.) Chapter 3: It's a few days later and in the nightclub we can see that Ai is already starting to regain her self-confidence and adapt to her new environment. To her surprise she even finds herself enjoying some aspects of her new life.We meet Ai's boss and co-workers and see Ai's business interactions. A customer wants to hear Ai sing and when Ai takes the stage everyone is mesmerized. Afterwards Ai's bitter co-worker Mika becomes jealous and bitchy. Back at the library Ai has discovered the connection between cupid arrows and blood......"
