Surreal and Captivating
on April 26, 2008
Posted by: celticbikerbabe
Guillermo del Toro is an expert on creating a unique surreal world, and captivating you with it. This film is very unique, and unlike any other fantasy film I have seen.
It puts me in mind of the really old fairy tales, the ones that were dark, scary, gothic, and did not come with "and they lived happily ever after".
This film really defies an easy description. The material is certainly nightmare inducing for young children, and there is a fair amount of nasty violence, but I think teens would likely find it fascinating.
If you enjoy fantasy, surreal landscapes, dark tales, gothic fashion and art, get this. You will not be disappointed.
What's great about it: Very unique, surreal and captivating film.
What's not so great: None.

With a built-in 1.3-megapixel digital camera for capturing high-resolution photos and video and picture and video messaging, this cell phone makes it easy to keep in touch with loved ones. Bluetooth technology lets you make hands-free calls using a Bluetooth headset (not included). Price this phone with a plan from Verizon.

Okay, but has some problems
on April 24, 2008
Posted by: celticbikerbabe
This phone has some good features, my favorite being that it has a micro SD card slot, so you can store quite a few songs or whatever for it depending on how big the memory is on the card you get, or how many cards you have. The display is fairly nice, although trying to see it in bright sunlight can be nearly impossible, but that goes for most phones. The thing that drives me absolutely crazy about this phone is how easy it is to accidentally connect to the internet, which costs a fortune. See the circle on the front? It is part of the control pad. That is touch sensitive, and as soon as you slide the phone open, it is enabled. If you so much as barely swipe your finger across the top of that circle, the phone starts connecting to the internet. Very very frustrating and a really idiotic design!
What's great about it: Sleek, nice display, decent music storage capability, memory card slot
What's not so great: Way too easy to accidentally connect to internet!!!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Metal music nostalgia at it's best..
on April 23, 2008
Posted by: celticbikerbabe
Ah - what a trip down memory lane... If you loved the movie, particularly if you are old enough to have seen it in the theater when it first came out, this is for you. There are some seriously addictive tracks here that are nearly impossible to not crank up to 11. Sammy Hagar "Heavy Metal", Don Felder "Heavy Metal - Taking a ride", and Riggs "Radar Rider" all tie for my favorite track. If I had to name one downer, and it caused me to give this 4 stars instead of 5, it is that they picked a bad Devo track - "Working In The Coal Mine", which plays during the ending credits, instead of the infinitely superior "Through Being Cool" which plays during the bar scene. Why they did this is beyond me.
It is still well worth picking up though, there are few songs here that you will skip over.
What's great about it: Many fantastically addictive tracks!!
What's not so great: Bad song pick for the band Devo!

Some really catchy tunes here!
on April 22, 2008
Posted by: celticbikerbabe
I couldn't wait to get this CD after seeing the movie. There are some great tunes here from several genres! I have to say that although the concession stand songs: "Groovy time for a Movie Time", and "Cut you up with a Linoleum Knife" are by far the most hilarious, my favorite track of all is "Carl's Theme" by 9 LB Hammer. This is a seriously addictive metal track that you will want to crank up and jam to over and over again!
I would advise watching the movie first before listening to the CD, it helps put things into context.
What's great about it: Catchy metal, dance, reggae, and rap songs
What's not so great: None, but it helps to watch the movie first to put things in context.

A Beautiful and Strange World
on February 22, 2008
Posted by: celticbikerbabe
Okay, there are plenty of reviews here on this wonderful game, so I thought I would address the fence-sitters that havent bought it yet. Go on and buy it already!! It was worth the money at full price, now it is like finding treasure!!
There are hours and hours of gameplay here. Enough to keep you busy for months and months to come. You will not get bored. Tired of spelunking in caves and slaying rats? Go off on a merry quest for potion ingredients and practice your alchemy mixing different potions. Try perpetrating different horrid "accidental" deaths for the adoring fan you get upon completion of the arena gladiator battles.. There is just so much to do here beyond the main quests.
Once you get bored with all that several months from now, there are several download-able additions that add whole new areas and quests to the game and present other new challenges to you.
It is the purchase that you really will get your money's worth out of, and then some.
What's great about it: Huge environment to explore, deep involving storyline, intuitive controls
What's not so great: NONE at all.

Marking the directorial debut of Adam McKay, former head writer for Saturday Night Live and founder of the Upright Citizen's Brigade, Anchorman is set during the 1970s and stars Will Ferrell as Ron Burgundy, San Diego's top-rated news anchorman. While Burgundy is outwardly willing to adjust to the idea of females in the workplace -- even outside of secretarial positions -- he certainly doesn't want his own job challenged. Keeping that in mind, it's no wonder that the arrival of Veronica Corningstone (Christina Applegate), an aspiring newswoman, is, in Ron's eyes, not the studio's most welcome addition. After Veronica pays her dues covering so-called female-oriented fluff pieces (think cat fashion shows and cooking segments), the ambitious Veronica sets her eyes on the news desk; more specifically, on Ron's seat behind it. Not unpredictably, Ron doesn't take the threat lightly, and it isn't long before the rival newscasters are engaged in a very personal battle of the sexes. Anchorman was co-written by Ferrell, and features supporting performances from David Koechner, Steve Carrell, Paul Rudd, Tara Subkoff, and Maya Rudolph.

Side Splittingly Funny
on February 19, 2008
Posted by: celticbikerbabe
I honestly think that this is Will Ferrell's best work to date. Both versions of this movie are absolutely hilarious. There is so much comedic goodness here I do not even know where to begin. If you saw the movie in the theater and liked it, this is the version to get on DVD for sure. There is a treasure trove of great extra funny bits with all the main characters. I am particularly fond of the Brick Tamlin stuff - Shawn, the chocolate covered squirrel, and eating out of the the round shaped food receptacle. Well worth the money as there is a large amount of hilarious entertainment here for the price.
What's great about it: TONS of laughs, hours and hours of entertainment, Will F.'s best work ever!!
What's not so great: none whatsoever.

Hilarious Irreverent Adult Humor.
on February 18, 2008
Posted by: celticbikerbabe
Warning!! This DVD is WAY raunchier than any other Ren & Stimpy. This is very much adult humor, and not for kids. That being said, I think this is a must for any serious R&S fan. The only sad part is that it is such a brief glimpse at what totally unrestrained R&S could be like. It is a real shame that HBO or Cinemax didn't pick the new Ren & Stimpy up, where it could have been shown uncensored without so much flack as what Spike TV got for it. The DVD does give some insight into the behind the scenes of the ups and downs of the show over the years.
What's great about it: Very naughty, outrageous, irreverent humor.
What's not so great: some parts drag on a bit

Well worth buying!!

This game was game of the year for 2007 in most award listings, and for good reason. If you do not own this game yet, pick it up, you certainly will not be disappointed. This is not the "same old thing" in any way. You quickly find yourself unable to tear yourself away, exploring this strange and captivating world and experimenting with your abilities. Game play is very intuitive once you get the hang of it, and the controls work very well. The storyline is superb, the plot twists and turns, always leaving you on the edge of your seat.
What's great about it: Great gameplay, captivating graphics, awesome story
What's not so great: None really, other than I wished it wouldnt end...
