The picture and on-line menu features are great but it skipped so much I had to return it in 3 weeks. It actually skipped 10 minute segments of the movie. At first I thought it was a bad scene transition in the movie. The only way I could see some of the missed scenes is by rewinding over the skipped section.

This game is a more or less playable 3D-jump-and-run with childish and not-a-single-bit-cool riddles and tasks. If you are looking for the real Leisure Suit Larry there is nothing better than to play the first three epsisodes. This game is missing all the fun and humor of Al Lowe making these episodes so unique. This game is another example of using a famous name for selling stuff.

So, Billy Ray Cyrus wants to be your `Joe.' Yes, that Billy Ray Cyrus, the "Achy-Breaky Heart" guy. Quite honestly, it's tough to forgive him for that incredibly stupid song, but somebody bought all those records, and that is why Billy Ray is still with us. The good news is that there is nothing here as blatantly sophomoric as that novelty line-dance favorite. The bad news is that there isn't much to cause me to rethink my basic impression. "Wanna Be Your Joe" is a likeable enough ballad about an everyday guy who aspires to true love, and it works in its own simple way, but certainly not enough to impress or inspire new fans. From there, though, things get predictable, both musically and thematically. Goofy novelty numbers make it nearly impossible to take this album seriously, and the titles say it all; "I Want My Mullet Back," "Ole What's Her Name" and "A Pain in the Gas" are even less original than their titles may suggest. "I Couldn't Be Me" is so blatantly a re-write of "Help Me Make It Through the Night" that I'd expect a lawsuit from Kris Kristofferson. Incredibly, not even George Jones and Tammy Wynette can add gravitas to the whiny, misinformed "Country Music Has the Blues." Doesn't Billy Ray recognize the irony of him singing about how country music has changed for the worse? Billy, you are part of the problem, not part of the solution.

For bad measure, the balance of the album is dedicated to good-ol'-boy posturing and `new country' schlock. Worst of all are two morbid shout-outs to dead legends, including the sentimental swill of "The Man" (dedicated to NASCAR star Dale Earnhardt) and "The Freebird Fell," a tasteless tribute to Lynyrd Skynyrd. On the not-so-bad side is "How've Ya Been," a steel-guitar ballad (that remarkably suggests George Harrison) concerning regret, and "Hey Daddy" which pretty much covers the same ground. Other than that, there's not much left to sink in. I've given "Wanna Be Your Joe" three listens, and that's enough. Actually, it was too much; any more would hurt my achy-breaky brain.  C Tom Ryan

Funny stuff.  Skips around a BUNCH, and the Movies section is pure page padding, but the Punkin Chunkin section redeems almost every shortcoming.

I love that it says my name. I HATE THE PINCHER CLIP. I wish it had a slide clip instead. This doesn't stay attached to anything. Not clothes, not a lanyard or keychain. I'm so upset. I got this for medical school and I'm required to wear and ID badge and thought this would be a cute way to do so. I'm going to try and see if I can adjust/take off the current clip and attach something more effective.

Cheap-sounding playback, dull badge. But it'll do.

I will give the creators of this toy some credit and a small pat on the back for making the toy white. Why this wasn't done in the first place however, remains unclear. I went to purchase two of these ponies (one for myself, and one for the little girl I babysit) but when I pressed the talk button, the toy spewed out the same asinine garbage as the pink version.

Why not make the toy say things like: "I love to read" or "I have great friends." Until this is fixed appropriately and the vain comments are removed, I will not be purchasing this toy. The last thing I want is for a five year old child to think that the most important thing is her appearance. She is so much more than that, and her toys should reflect that.

Fix the toy properly and I will purchase a few of them.

We've come to the final entry in The Cartoon Adventures of Larry-Boy.  The Good, the Bad, and the Eggly ends things on an average note, which isn't that surprising since most of these videos have been average.

As always, this offshoot from VeggieTales is hand drawn and centers around the alter ego of the show's regular host, Larry the Cucumber.  In this world, Larry is a rich millionaire who moonlights as Larry-Boy.  He always works at the local newspaper, the Daily Bumble, as the janitor to keep a pulse on what is happening so he can stop crime better.

Trouble is afoot in the town of Bumblyburg yet again.  This time around, Larry-Boy's rivals Greta Von Gruesome and Awful Alvin (and Lampy) have teamed up to steal a ray gun.  But it's not just any ray gun.  This one turns any inanimate object into over-easy eggs.

Naturally, Larry-Boy is on the case.  But fellow superhero Dark Crow is also in town, and both of them are trying to capture the villains by themselves.  Will that work, or do they need to team up to save the day?

Obviously, the theme of this one is working together.  And I can't complain about the theme at all since teamwork is important in all aspects of life.

However, once again the video isn't up to Big Ideas standards.  Yes, there are some fun jokes.  I loved watching Alvin (and Lampy) doing victory dances of evil.  Some of the things that got turned into eggs were pretty funny.  Heck, the scene where they are trying to explain to Larry-Boy what would and wouldn't turn into eggs was also great.

Yet I found the story all too predictable.  You can pretty much plot the entire story out from the summary I've given you.  Normally, a half hour with VeggieTales flies by.  Here, it doesn't.

There's the usual 8 minute short on the end to bring the story to a full half hour.  This time around, the short actually centers on two minor characters we've only seen from the superhero class before.  They proceed to destroy a fair until Larry-Boy shows up and convinces them to work together to restore things.  Again, there were some amusing bits, it overall it wasn't that funny.

These might be good for a very young audience, but they don't show the care and creativity that the original VeggieTales series has.  Only the most die-hard fan needs to see The Good, the Bad, and the Eggly.

Some of the disk's skip, which is annoying as hell, but overall its better than buying them separate.

now peeps, i liked the album.  i totally rock out every time i play it.  however, there is a behemoth of a problem with the title of this record.  if one hears that an album has the name "antics," they expect to hear a zippy escapade of gamesome fun, and rightfully so.  however, there is no such monkey business in ANY of these songs.  I can't help but ask, where has society failed us?  how has it come to pass that people can go around and choose album titles that are both misrepresentative and inaccurate, and subsequently, insult the intelligence of the masses with such ludicrous actions.  i will pray for this 'interpol.'

This is more seedy/sleazy than sleek in terms of a heist novel. Which I guess is to be expected from the title. Every scene break feels abrupt and I don't know if it was authorial intent or sloppy writing but it felt like Skip was really keeping the readers at a remove from everyone he encountered. I can see why it got an Edgar nod because their finalists are always weirdly skewed one way or another but the narration is a bit ... odd. Either too fast or too dry. Maybe too much disdain for his weasel family? A possible read-a-like for fans of Heist Society or Pretending To Be Erica but lacking the inherent charm of both.

Free online, this is funny stuff. But pay for it? To answer, I'll use a cute animal reference: "Do not want."

Okay -- here's the required part of the review.
Danzig was the Misfits, they're awful with out him blah, blah, blah ...
Also ... have you noticed how many of used copies of this cd are for sale?  Seeing that so many people are trying to get rid of this cd should give you a hint of how bad it is.
They really should change their name to something along the lines of 'Misfits 3000 From Outer Space'.  It would be fitting to have a stupid name for a stupid band.

Cynical and Sad. Skip is downer, unless you are one of those people that believe humanity (or dogs) have no redeeming qualities, what so ever.

At times a little skippy.  Let it warm up per instructions.

Well, there is nothing else to say, i already said it on the title above.
What a WASTE!  What a WASTE!
