Donny! You're out of your element!

The Big Lebowski is a comedy of errors. If not for a simple case of mistaken identity, The Dude would have kept on rolling. Instead, he gets caught up in a huge debacle regarding a kidnapping and tries to get repairations for his carpet. "That carpet really tied the room together"
The casting in this movie fits just right, and the story is a good one. The Coen brothers have turned the story of a bum into a winner. The lackadaisical attitude of The Dude really makes this movie. Most other characters would have made themselves pro-active to solve thier dilema, while The Dude just strolls through. It adds a nice element that Bridges plays well.
The Dude's attitude is well offset by John Goodman's potrayal of Walter. He's the over-the-top Vietman vet, who seems like he could just snap at any second, and on a couple occasions, does.
The middle of the road in this trio is Donny, who is a subtle guy that seems like he is the odd man out between Walter and The Dude. While Donny is in the movie, he' not really part of the story, and this throws a few laughs in for the audience.
The most powerful character in this flick is the one with the least time on screen. That would be Jesus. John Turturro does a superb job of adding a lot of laughs in a small amount of time by playing a bowler with an overt attitude, and a nice surprise that makes it even funnnier.
The plot is nice and simple, but The Dude can't seem to keep up with it until it's too late. This adds to the entertainment as he tries to get his goal accomplished, but is hampered by his lifestyle and by Walter.
Some will say this movie is a waste of time with no story, but don't let others keep you from a winner. If you don't like it, or didn't like it the last time you saw it, you need to try it again as it gets better with time.

Disgusting piece of merde.  I turned it off after half-hour of gut wrenching revulsion!  Nouveau pseudo-artsy sophisticate, not water soluble or digestible to a sane person!  Amateurish acting by dah down low crowd in NYC lower East Side warehouse apt re-dos.  Ugh, white man true degenerate~Kemosabe!

This is 30 minutes of 5 Osmonds singing - apparently just after Donny's voice changed, because even at 15, he couldn't hit those high notes anymore. Yes, they are young and it should bring back memories for those who remember when. But the graphics are poor and overwhelm the "concert." The audience doesn't appear to speak any English, so they just sit there even when Donny starts kissing girls. Americans were a bit ... less subdued, so they've thrown in clips from "real" Osmond performances, where girls throw themselves wildly onstage. The whole show was so fake, it was almost as bad as watching the old Osmond cartoons. Also, if it matters to you, don't expect to see Jimmy - except in a montage of newspaper clips that runs right through the middle of a song and ruins it - even though he's on the cover. (And don't expect to see Marie at all.) Only for diehard fans who can't live without it. I was a HUGE fan, but this was disappointing.

The morons who were running Fox in the late 1980s really crippled this show.  It was fresh (not really a Mod Squad clone) with a fine young cast.  But the "suits" made their first big mistake by replacing Frederick Forrest after 6 eposodes.  The ridiculous explanation was that audience input indicated a need for a traditional top cop.  Audience input?  An audience of primarily teenagers who don't like or respect authority and would not mind a laid-back former hippie police captain?  Add a character who took so much time away from the young actors?  Just stupid!  Fox just couldn't let the show be that original!  No wonder Depp, Nguyen and P. DeLuise were happy to get off the show.  The upcoming movie version is not something for which I am holding my breath.  Maybe it will be a pleasant surprise?

Arguably the most laughable -  but not necessarily the stupidest TOS episode.  Kirk & crew are physically manipulated by telekinetic jerks to perform the most embarrassing acts.  Only one act surpasses Spock's depressing ode (singing) "Bitter Dregs" - and that is the sight/sounds of Kirk "winnieing" and rearing like a horse with a midget on his back.  I laughed so hard - I cried. Wink of an eye was marginally good - especially the alien blonde hottie in the skimpy outfit.  Aliens move so fast in time, it's like Kirk & crew are standing still.  Typical 3rd season mediocrity. But again, a must have for TOS purists!

When the JONNY QUEST DVD Box Set was finally released I was one  of the first  to buy it. The wait for these fantastic episodes was finally over. And what a long wait its been! What a shame it is then that the "politically correct" people at Warner Brothers found it their duty to EDIT, that's right, EDIT these classic cartoons! A typical EDIT from  DISC ONE "Pursuit of the Po-Ho" A purple Race Bannon  confronts the Po-Hos who have Dr. Quest held hostage with,"All right you ignorant savages, get a load of Aquizio you heathen monkeys!" The "REMASTERED" version is a watered down, "Get a load of Aquizio!" All the while Race's mouth is moving but no words come out! At least no words that some idiots at Warners find offensive. Who are they and how dare they think they can just EDIT someone elses work! What's even more outrageous is that for some reason they don't have a problem showing the UN-EDITED versions on their own CARTOON NETWORK! Get it together guys and RE-ISSUE the Jonny Quest Box Set UNTOUCHED, UN-EDITED, and truly REMASTERED as your packaging states! And the next time you think its "your job" to EDIT a classic cartoon, DON"T! Thank GOD your EDIT MONKEY kept his stinking paws off the LOONEY TUNES Box Set!

The Scooby Doo franchise has already been overdone with too many direct to video films but THIS?! This is the absolute worst Scooby Doo series or any part of the franchise I have ever seen! I myself am not a huge Scooby Doo fans because I already thought the characters were bone- dry but this show is AWFUL! The monsters are gruesome, the setting is dark, the gang is not traveling and stuck in a dumb town, the characters are mean- spirited, the dialogue is awkward, and when it isn't, it is stupid! The "dad" wants nothing to do with his son, too. Here's my biggest problem with the show; Shaggy having to choose between Velma or Scooby! Not only don't I like the torn between two things story, but when Scooby accuses Shaggy of " cheating" on him--it's just STUPID!!! You can't date a dog! What the heck?! Overall, I really hate this show.

i saw this family peform this weekend at 45 bleeker in nyc. please try and imagine 13 yr old rachel play a ukele badly while singing john bonham songs to the 4 yr olds sitting in the front row as ma-trachtenberg acted out the songs on a felt story board attached to a suitcase. i won't mention jason and his cast of friends that didn't really have a clue. the 4 yr olds really liked it but anyone over 5yrs old was so over it all!!! and if tina and jason didn't get it ... rachel is BORED with you all. she's your gimmick and she grown tired of you!!!

My son brought this home and put it on the 6.1 Surround system. I asked if "BAD" (You know, the song that 'made' U2?) was on the set list. He said: "no", I said: "Turn it off, take it out and throw it away." I don't want to see or hear anymore of Bono's egotistical jive. Either you ROCK in my house, or you're outta here! And this time...Thumbs down on this "loser" Concert DVD. Pure sell-out garbage. Go away U2. Quit taking up other people's air!

It's so hard for me to come down on this well meaning little homage to the great and not so great Universal Monster films I grew up with. Where do I begin?.....with the bad?...or the good? Well...since I would like to end on a positive note, lets start with THE BAD. Ron Chaney is a terrible actor, and he and a few of the black servants destroy what could have been a very enjoyable little tribute to the old fashioned horror films, even though the script is tedious most of the cast seem to be having fun with it.

I don't want to beat up on Chaney here, but he just doesn't seem to have a clue? He is so stiff and bizarre that it just takes you out of the entire fantasy. ditto the two servants there lines are so robotic, it just ruins the experience.

THE GOOD news is this film has atmosphere to spare, if you can forgive these three actors for being caught acting! The Monster make-up is very good and the final fight between Frankie and Wolfie is better than the original in Frankenstein meets the Wolf Man! .....sure it's a little hokey, but isn't it supposed to be? It's a shame because with a little bigger budget and some decent actors this could have been the best vintage horror release of the year!

Wow! This guy should have contracted with Saturday Night Live. Hokey, dorky, goofy, and banal...and I only listened to the clips. As a teenager in the eighties, I always hated that "Werewolves in London"; still think it's a reeker. This album is a good tension breaker. You can't help but laugh at a guy who has a serious approach to this platter of spam.

I cannot believe I am commenting but I feel compelled to.  BIG warning!!!  If you do not like obnoxious, ridiculous people who want to steal the show and totally be distracting do NOT buy this. Michael is a total TURN OFF!  I can barely do this video because of him.  I get nauseous watching him.  Love everything else but him.  What a major disappointment  I hope Leslie does not include him in any further videos.

How can you not like Andy? But yes  it was a "Shallow Year" out of what appears to be a shallow life.
It is a raunchy daily dairy  of countless self-indulging activities.  Besides the ice bucket challenge, what does
Andy do for others to justify his celebrity?  Some may count the "Housewives" or the WWHL, but who does that help?
Sorry Andy.  I do like you and wanted to like your book, but you disappointed in the "something for others" department.
I do like your doggie and your stories about him.  Oh yes, you did rescue him, so I will give you two stars.  That was very good, but it was just another activity you did for your own satisfaction.

Kanye is a sick man. He's insecure in his ways and now it's reflecting in his music.  He obviously was an outsider growing up and now he wants to have the last laugh when in fact no one is listening or even cares about him or his success. He's more concerned about being seen while his music is secondary. His vocal pitch comes off as arrogant and condescending making him PUFFY WEST. Yes, he's the new Puff Daddy. Kanye comes off as a diva that needs attention in order to survive. I can see him doing some harm to himself once he is considered as being a has been, which seems to be right around the corner.

He's a corny and cheesy lyricist and a narcissist. === HE IS BY NO STRETCH OF THE IMAGINATION THE GREAT J DILLA!!! === Kanye can't make a beat to save his life. This whole project sounds like the synthesizer on VAN HALEN'S "JUMP" and I wish Kanye would JUMP!!! This cd was made for teenage drunk and hot girls, not for hip hop heads. This cd is as soft as it gets and as hollow as it gets. Kanye didn't graduate; he got caught smoking in the boys' room. He should be expelled. His voice is antagonizing and his ability to chop up a sample is absent. There is no creativity with these samples. NONE.  Every sample is easily recognizable and the samples themselves aren't really great. He needs to dig in the crates a whole lot deeper. He should have let DJ Premiere produce this project. This is where Kanye ranks amongst the greater hip hop producers of all time.

1. J Dilla AKA Jay Dee
2. Madlib
3. Dr. Dre
4. DJ Premiere
5. Timbaland
6. The Bomb Squad
7. The Neptunes
8. Havoc of Mobb Deep
9. Organized Noize (formerly of Outkast)
10. Pete Rock
11. Just Blaze
12. 9th Wonder
13. DJ Quik

WOW! Kanye isn't even in the top 13! Is he Michael Jackson or PRINCE? Are you kidding me?!? How can he compare himself to those ICONS?!? What a vain and asinine statement! Common or Jay-Z need to pull this cat to the side and tell him to chill out on the feminine and childish outbursts. He's becoming a hated man by acting like a spoiled brat. KANYE'S GRADE IS INCOMPLETE...HE MUST ATTEND SUMMER SCHOOL.

Enter w/ caution, possums...  If you're expecting anything like her touring show performances, you won't be finding it here.  Although I've been a fan of Dame Edna for years, I was completely unfamiliar with "Neighbourhood Watch."  Now that I am, I can only say I was a bit disappointed.  As noted by others, the first episode was hysterical, poor sound quality aside; the second episode was funny; thereafter, it's mindnumbing and repetitive.  I watched it all the way through just to see if I could take it.  Go see her live or buy her book instead - this one's a rental at best.

Call me Pomery is about a lovable pig. Not an actual pig, just a pig of a person. Hes the ultimate anti-hero but hes funny!

He thinks too highly of himself, is obsessed with, uhm, himself. The story is basically of his hijinks to get attention and noteriety, ostensibly for his music but mostly for himself... when hes not in jail or about to go to jail.

Overall the story is well written, funny, and offensive, vulgar, raunchy. Read at your own risk and don't expect to root for the protagonist.
