Freakazoid - The Complete First Season (2008) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you're a fan of the spontaneous humor of the Animaniacs, then you'll love this show. Dexter Douglas uses the power of cyberspace to become the superhero Freakazoid (this was in the early days of the internet, so it seemed like a mysterious thing at the time). Unfortunately, Freakazoid isn't your normal superhero. Yes, he has superpowers (the funniest being when he flies by stretching his arms out and making wind noises as he runs around). Yes, he has supervillains. But he's not Batman by any means! He's fun and frantic and full of humor.
Each episode usually had one skit running throughout the show, with tiny sketches built into it like little commercial breaks. One of the best was "Frenching with Freakazoid", in which he would teach a French phrase. Most of them wouldn't be something you'd use in a normal conversation however ("Who cut the cheese?"). The frenetic pace of the show keeps it from being boring, and I'm so glad to see it finally make it to disc.
Superman has Lex Luthor, Batman has the Joker, and Freakazoid has Mo-Ron (yep, just like it sounds). Like I said earlier, if you're a fan of Animaniacs and Pinky & The Brain, this show will be a perfect fit for you. Never boring!

Cyber nerd Dexter Douglas surfs the web one fateful night, gets swept into a digital techno-electro smash-up that bites him in the gigabytes and – ZAP! — goes from geek to freak. To Freakazoid!, that is, a smart- mouthing, butt-kicking, mega-voltage superhero with things to do (unless there’s something really good on TV). It’s Freaka-Me, Freaka-You fun!

Alvin & the Chipmunks - Meet the Wolfman (2000) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Everytime I watch this movie I like it more and more! It has both the Chipmunks and the Chipettes in it! Cool huh? It also has awesome songs in it too! Munks on a mission, The Monster is in you (I think that is what this one is called) and Everything is going to be alright. Everything is going to be alright is my personal favorite. The Chipmunks and Chipettes sing this one at a dance. I've played this song again and again. The only disapointment I had was there was only three songs. The Chipmunk Adventure had 8! But besides that this movie is AWESOME! I suggust buying it, if you love the Chipmunks and Chipettes! =)

Teen Titans - The Complete Fifth Season Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Teen Titans has always been a strong series. This fifth and final season is a particular favorite of mine in that it features the Doom Patrol and the Brotherhood of Evil (BoE is in a number of episodes throughout the season). Now, I was not a Doom Patrol fan prior. In fact, I've never even read a Doom Patrol comic. Regardless, I simply love the characterizations of the team in the show, especially Negative Man's deadpan delivery of his lines, as is so befitting his name.
Likewise, Brain having the Hawking'esque voice is beyond perfect. Here we have a brilliant and evil mind with no body to speak of that commands immeasurable power. I love the taunting coming from Brain sounding like a late 80's computer attempting to create speech. It has a menace to it that one wouldn't expect.
With the Brotherhood of Evil, and the Doom Patrol playing such a large roll in this season, the feel of the overall story arc feels a lot more Silver Age, DC Comics than the previous seasons, which for me is a good thing. While the Slade arcs are excellent, there is something I like about two super teams duking it out, 60's style. There's a grandness to that just feels, I don't know . . . heroic in that romantic, adventure movie kind of way.
There are some other really great episodes as well. In particular, I enjoyed "Go!," a prequel episode that details not only how Starfire came to Earth, but also how the Titans originally formed their team. It's great.
DC/Marvel has had an incredible run of quality animated hero shows, going all the way back to "Batman: the Animated Series" and this season of Teen Titans delivers as well. If your looking at a review for season five, I'm going to presume you've seen the show and like it, so I am probably preaching to the choir. It's great. You know it. What else is there to know?
BTW, why in the world doesn't every DVD box set/series in universe simply list the frickin' episodes in the description? It always falls to a reviewer to actually tell prospective buyers what the heck they are considering buying. Does this strike anyone else as a bit stupid?
To that end, here's a list of episodes contained within the series:
1. Homecoming Pt 1 (Intro the Doom Patrol and the Brotherhood of Evil)
2. Homecoming Pt 2
3. Trust
4. For Real
5. Snowblind
6. Kole
7. Hide and Seek
8. Lightspeed
9. Revved Up (This one seemed REALLY odd and jarringly outside the Titans Universe, but whatever)
10. Go!
11. Calling All Titans
12. Titans Together
13. Things Change

What's New Scooby-Doo, Vol. 7 - Ghosts on the Go (2002) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)In this fun and mysterious volume, Scooby-Doo and the Mystery Inc. gang go to Italy, Scotland, Greece, and France to solve four different and original enigmatic mysteries! Like all of the previous "What's New Scooby-Doo?" episodes, they are harder to solve cases, than most of the ones featured in the old Scooby-Doo television series. I enjoyed watching this DVD because it's clearly for all ages, literally. These episodes are not meant to be JUST for kids, because I would say that about 90% of the adults with the right mind also have fun trying to solve the mysteries. These episodes, in particular, are four of the best ones picked from the entire show. Scooby-Doo mysteries are also funny, and these ones are no exception. With a lot of red-herrings on their way, the cases aren't easy to solve! They actually make you think - that's what makes them good.
Scooby-Doo, Shaggy, Fred, Daphne, and Velma must unmask a ZOMBIE GLADIATOR in Italy, as well as an enormous DRAGON in Scotland, and a CENTAUR on their trip to Greece! Let's not forget the flying GARGOYLE statue that comes to life in France!
The episodes and the grade I give them are as follow:
- Pompeii & Circumstance: A-
- Large Dragon at Large: A+
- It's Greek to Scooby-Doo: A+
- Ready to Scare: A
To make my point, this volume of the "What's New scooby-Doo?" series is a must have for any Scooby-Doo fan. If you like solving puzzles, try to crack these cses with 87 minutes of mysrery, laughter, and fun! Scooby-Doo is the best, and these episodes rock!!!
