Inside Creedence Clearwater Revival (2005) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Because if I ever hear of one that's out on DVD, I will be the first one to buy it. Frankly, I don't get it. I know people filmed them, and I know that people can remaster image and sound. I know that The Band, Crosby, Stills, and Nash, and even Hendrix has an access of footage that exists. If anyone is holding back on us fans, please cease. Anyway, this DVD is not as essential as you might think (well, the CREAM DVD is, it is full of nice info. and hilarious interviews), but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't buy it if you are a true fan. A musician here shows you how to strum and fingerpick a couple of Creedence tunes, although this is not a tuturial. I just wish the other band members, including its author John Fogerty, would've allowed themselves to be interviewed. Plus, I know there is studio footage somewhere. But in the meantime, just enjoy this "inside" look--it is a good film and it's nice to see Stu Cook today, but don't expect a great archive of unseen material and in-depth liner note-style comments. The film is more like an appreciation of them--but how can they help it? It is very difficult to slam a group that played this well and wrote so many wonderful and timeless songs.

Brainy Baby - Peek-A-Boo (2004) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My now 20-month-old has loved this video for several months, since he became obsessed with peek-a-boo. It's not non-stop peek-a-boo but enough to satisfy his need. The music and acting is pleasant and realistic, not overly dramatic or annoying for grown ups. It shows scenes of babies and toddlers playing peek-a-boo, parents singing to their kids (e.g., wheels on the bus, you are my sunshine, etc.), cartoon segments, and nature scenes (which don't really fit with the theme of games/songs/play but what the heck, my son loves it all).

Hamtaro - Hamtaro and the Ham-Hams (Vol. 1) (2002) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought my first Hamtaro DVD as a present for a friend who has a sweet tooth for cute little animals, and then got a copy to satisfy my own curiosity as an anime fan (plus the DVD was on special). I must say I enjoyed what I saw.
First of all, it IS cute, but not absolutely disgustingly cute - it's just a visual style that you quickly get used to.
Second, even though it is technically a "kids' show", it's not exactly mindless. Just as in more "mature" anime, there are story threads that continue through the series, the characters (while being stereotypes) have some complexity in their relationships, and, thanks to the normal human characters and good background art, there is a sense that the show takes place in (a nice part of) the real world, rather than some airy-fairy cartoon utopia.
Third, visually this show is superior to any US children's cartoon show I've seen recently, especially in the directing (i.e. frame composition & editing) and the painted backgrounds. And, finally, while I would have liked the option of Japanese language and subtitles, I think this DVD is that rare thing - a pretty good dub of a Japanese anime.
The great thing about Hamtaro is that, although it's for kids, it's not as "dumbed down" as some shows, which means that adults (parents and, er, *ahem* others) can enjoy it too, and parents don't have to worry about their kids being treated like morons.
The downside: with only three episodes per disc, you only get an hour for your money. Also, due to some quirk with the sound mixing, your ears may suffer from some fatigue after half an hour of Ham-Ham adventuring.

Baby's First Impressions 10 DVD Box Set (2007) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I WAS GIVEN TWO OF THESE ON VHS BY A FRIEND, HER KIDS WERE TOO OLD FOR THEM. I LEFT THEM IN THE BOX OF ODDS AND ENDS FOR MONTHS.
I CAME ACROSS THEM ONE DAY AND THOUGHT I WOULD PUT ONE IN.
MY DAUGHTER LOVED THEM, THEY ARE SIMPLE, ALMOST ON THE CHEESEY SIDE. BUT MY DAUGHTER COULD NOT GET ENOUGH, I JUST BOUGHT THE WHOLE SET AND MY SON IS NOW HOOKED.
THEY ARE A GREAT BUY AND I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM.
