The Vitamin String Quartet
This group does cover versions of more musicians than I could name in a paragraph! It's best to get their music from iTunes and make your own mixes or download an entire CD.
Some bands they cover: The Beatles, Springsteen, Sarah McLachlan, The Cure, The Plain White T's, Led Zeppelin, Metallica, and nearly a hundred more. Their music has also been featured on the TV show So You Think You Can Dance during dance routines.  

Deltra Goodrem
Her first American album is actually her third -the other two were released in Australia- and she's sort of like an Australian version of Carrie Underwood, only slightly more pop and less country. Of the 72 reviews of her music on iTunes, more than sixty of them gave her album five out of five stars.
 
iTunes Originals
A new feature for iTunes users let's them download a full length CD by an artist like Jack Johnson or Sarah McLachlan, and then hear the new interpretations of a classic hit, or a brand new song, followed by a short talk from the artist after each one discussing the meaning or inspiration behind the music.
 
Emily Wells: The Symphonies -Dreams, Memories, and
Parties
Emily is a talented multi-instrumentalist with a voice described by fans as haunting and angelic. On this album she mixes romantic classical styles, with hip hop, trip hop, and electronica influences to create a rich tapestry of sound that many fans describe as their choice for album of the year. Every reviewer so far has given this album a five out of five star rating on iTunes.
 
Katerina Kourentzi: Mimis Plessas - Se Ellinika Kai Rosika Monopatia
This Greek singer has a catchy, easy on the ears voice that makes her whole album very enjoyable, no  matter what style of music she chooses to sing in, whether it's modern pop, traditional folk, or technodance.

Breach
A well delivered spy movie that pits a rogue spy leader selling secrets to the Russians against a newcomer to the agency who has the backing of all the rest who want to bring the traitor down.

The Ruins
A group of Americans must fight for survival after visiting an archaeological site in the jungles of Mexico that houses a vile monster amid the ancient Mayan ruins.
 
Day of the Dead 2- Contagium
This film is the second in a direct to DVD zombie movie
tribute to George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead, Dawn Of The Dead, Day of the Dead trilogy. Internet reviewers give it mixed reviews, but if you like the zombie genre, it's not too bad, and you might actually enjoy it...
