incredible fun
1 of 3 found this helpful How about a cartoon that works for adults and for children? How about technical wizardry that is good enough to ignore- because you really came for the cartoon, not to see how it was made?
This is a lot of fun.
You'll be glad you're watching on DVD, though, because you'll go crazy trying to identify the voice actors. That's Samuel Jackson as the cool super hero buddy, and Wallace Shawn as the yap-dog boss. Fans of NPR's THIS AMERICAN LIFE may or may not recognize Sara Vowell, but Craig Nelson and Holly Hunter are Mr. and Mrs. Incredible. Elizabeth Pena is the villain's seductive assistant.
Probably the best of all, though, are the James Bond cliches. Every one of them is there- down to the "monologuing" villains,the monorail, the rockets, the jungle hideaway. And, of course, that beautiful assistant.
This is a great film for anyone, not just kids or parents. Buy it, enjoy it. But don't lend it out, because you may not get it back...

out of your radio and onto your TV
4 of 6 found this helpful One of the cruelest things you can say about someone is that he or she has a face that is perfect for radio. Even though Garrison Keillor's Prairie Home Companion was never intended to be looked at, Robert Altman has given us something that is good both on the screen and in our ears.
This film is an approximation of Garrison Keillor's Public Radio show, A Prairie Home Companion and regular listeners will recognize the voices (and see the faces) of several PHC contributors. In order to make it interesting, they have added a handful of other performers, some of whom take the place of Mr. Keillor himself. They also add a little conflict, in the menacing form of Tommy Lee Jones, who represents Corporate Interests. And some blurring of real life and radio fantasy makes this is more than just a documentary of One Night On the Radio.
Like most Robert Altman films, there is a lot going on here. Maybe you will wonder, as I did, what Lindsay Lohan is doing in all of this, but maybe you can just sit back and enjoy Lily Tomlin and Meryl Streep, along with The Master Himself, Mr. Keillor, Kevin Kline as Guy Noir, and Woody Harrelson and John C. Reilly as the singing cowboys.
This is not an action movie. Its natural audience consists of Altman and Keillor fans. If you have never heard of either of them, this may not be the best place to start. There is more entertainment in Gosford Park, or at least fewer inside jokes. And chances are, you can listen to PHC on your radio this Saturday night. After you have, though, chances are you'll enjoy this quiet little film.

Way better than anything else out there
2 of 2 found this helpful The Vox DA5 is a great practice amp and a great busking amp in the tradition of the Pignose. Only it has about a zillion more features than a Pignose. It runs either on 6 C batteries or on its handy AC adapter. It features a wide array of effects ( wah, reverb, chorus, etc) and several different (digital modeling) voices. It costs a little more than the ubiquitous 10 watt practice amps, but the sheer fun of it makes it worth saving a little longer. Check it out. You'll love it.
