When The Levee Broke
This review is on the recent release from founder and frontman of the progressive band,The Hoax.As ex-drummer lyricist and vocalist of this band it prompts me to give my opinion of what think of it.First of all, feel that ever since The Stream,The Hoax has been like an elastic band,being pulled by the talented chemistry in the band.Even if The Stream was not considered as one of my favorites,at least it had moments of true spirit of art.The musical strings in the band have been pulled too far apart for reconciliation,thus I find myself performing in a band as a drummer and a SOLO artist.

The Hoax 2008,as it is prelimanarily called ,has reached the point where Ranbone always wanted,melodic,still and sappy.Over-orchertrated and too repetitive.The Mannheim Steamroller on snooze.Funny how The Hoax started out as a rock band with character that set itself apart from other local bands.We were a band who made fun of other groups (parodies) Dramatic,technical ,melodramatic, but never corny.We created great symphonies of new prog-rock.But when the “caractature got pushed ,the creative differences were too strong and the once mighty Hoax has become an entertainer for dentist offices and surgery rooms.

Perhaps as RickWakeman once said that the egg once starts at the same point and then divides into two extremes,so maybe daniel and Randy will be able to create magic as in their Golden Years.For now,The Hoax is in yet another experimental stage.For me,I prefer not to be on that badd acidd tripp!!!

That,my boy,is a rap

Patriotic? Oh yes it is!
I purchased this cd for two reasons. First, cause I’m patriotic and second because I’m a fan of “Mannheim Steamroller”. This cd is great!!! This cd is certainly going to be played on July 4th. from now on and of course when I’m feelin my American Spirit. Buy this one, it’s good. Enjoy:)

I liked it
I liked the CD overall. The choral numbers build very nicely and Home on the Range is a unique item done in this style.

Almost as Good as the Christmas Music
I love Mannheim Steamroller’s Christmas music, so I’ve been collecting their music for other holidays as well. I wish they’d avoided the occasional speaking parts in this but I love most of the musical parts. They did a good job on the Aaron Copland piece! I’ll be listening to it other than on July 4th.

GREAT ALBUM! Not quite as BIG as Trans Siberian but still a keeper!

    Good cable, many uses
    Good cable that works, at a very good price. We use these 25′ and 50′ cables for everything from extending the distance between computer speakers, to extending the reach of head phones plugged into the TV for late-night viewing without disturbing others in the house. My daughter uses one of these cables for extending the reach between her earbuds and her iPod docking station when she is in her room. Sure is a lot cheaper than wireless headphones.

    I need to move to Australia
    This is the perhaps the best movie I have every seen. It is informative and yet it somehow will make the viewer laugh throughout. I saw it in a class and had to come home and buy it. All I can say now is that I want some Australian friends.

    Cane Toads - campy but informative
    Somebody else said it was Monty Python meets Marlin Perkins. Throw in a little of “The Far Side”, and you’ve got it. A decent documentary. It *does* demonstrate invasive species in action and highlights the perils of introducing animals or plants we don’t understand into new envirmmonents.

    Environmentally sound!
    This movie, although a cross between Monty Python and National Geographic, is a must for EVERY environmental student. I show this to my high school environmental classes every year to demonstrate how intoduced invasive species can decimate an ecosystem.

    Funny, informative, and ridiculous
    I saw this on T.V. a few weeks ago really late at night. I really just wanna go to Australia with my pellet gun and waste these things after watching this. I’m not gonna go into detail and spoil the funny parts, but it’s definitely worth the hour or so it takes to watch. Also through some research I’ve found that Cane Toads- An Unnatural History is completely factual despite its humor.

    The truth is stranger than fiction
    This documentary is factual, hilarious, and very Australian. It provides interviews with different individuals, who relay their experience and opinions of the Cane Toad, an introduced species that is basically wiping out the Australian ecosystem north of Sydney. See the Canadian scientist with the slight flinch in his eye while he tells you of the toad induced death of his prized endangered cat. See the Aussie bloke in the Combi Van who likes to run over them (”if you get ‘em just right, they go pop ….”). Fascinating info on the toad itself, as well.

    Luckily, this is so warped and funny, that you hardly notice the environmental catastrophe. EVERY AUSTRALIAN SHOULD SEE THIS.

    This is your greatest hits CD, Johnny G was a master
    Ignore all the compilations and “Best of Johnny’s”, because Ganster of Love and 3 Hours Past Midnight are your definitive recordings. Oh, my, this man smoked ‘em out of the hall every time he picked up a guitar. You can hear Johnny’s licks in most rock and blues played after this, but he played with style. I’m not a big fan of the 70’s funk scene that he took part in, but his blues and rock & roll are all-time hits. It’s right here. And get 3 Hours Past Midnight, another top-ten all-time rockin’ & rollin’ blues recording you’ll wonder how you lived without. These two Cds never find their way back to the shelf in my house.

    Pretty and action-filled, but a little flat
    Beautiful scenery? Check. Good fight sequences? Check. Compelling action? Check… sort of. Good characters and a solid plot? …well, you can’t have everything.

    Sure, I know there was a plot. Left-behind Viking boy saves adopted family from complete annihilation by another wave of Viking warriors. But that’s it. That’s all there was to this story. There’s no in-depth characterization. Nothing to make you root for the good guy other than the fact that, well, he’s the good guy! No emotional connection to the characters, or between the characters. Yes, we know they respect (and maybe even love) each other, but it doesn’t come through the script or the acting. It’s simply two-dimensional. And while the action scenes were exciting enough, getting to them felt like wading through treacle. I spent a lot of the movie was spent with the ‘all right, get on with it!’ feeling.

    I suppose it’s fine as far as mindless action flicks go - as I said, it’s very pretty to watch - but I’d rather spend my time watching *funny* mindless action movies. My guess is, if you loved 300 (which I’d rather have watched on fast-forward, just to get most of it up to regular speed) this would be a movie for you. But if Bad Boys is more your ‘blow’em up action movie’ style, give this one a miss.

    Perfect ( I think ) for the video game generation
    Good grief. Vikings were certainly as mean and nasty as , say, the Mongols, though I think for body count of innocent victims the Mongols would win hands ( feet, and heads ) down.

    After 15 years this boy remembers his native tongue perfectly. He also managed somehow to learn expert swordsmanship and Viking style fighting by the age of 7 or so….all of which he remembered as he practiced by himself over the years.

    The movie answered once and for all the question of nature vs. nurture. I realize most video gamers never heard these terms or understands what they mean. It’s mostly nurture it turns out.

    This movie is definitely entertaining. I learned a lot. I didn’t know more Vikings appeared as the original ones were killed off….no matter the attrition rate up until the end their numbers stayed pretty constant…spontaneous generation of full grown full of hate Vikings? Maybe.

    I also would never have guessed that Vikings were in the game just to kill and maim etc etc. I thought they were after loot too….but nothing seems to interest them as they rummage around villages they as they destroy them.

    I was also surprised that the Vikings would cross giant mountain ranges just to kill easy to kill natives….and come to think of it why didn’t the natives loot the wrecked Viking ship for swords and other useful stuff? Like maybe portable GPS gear? I mean, your average gamer probably doesn’t realize they didn’t have such technology.

    Anyone who takes this movie as seriously factual is in need of further education if he/she is over ten years of age. It’s great fun and worth ten bucks. Glad I didn’t pay more. If you want to learn anything about native american culture, viking culture, or history you best not get this movie. If you know anything about these things keep it to yourself as you watch….

    And just exactly what breed of dog did those natives have??????

    Edge of My Seat
    I thought it was a very good movie. It kept me on the edge of my seat and the action throughout was great. Jay Tavare and Karl Urban were great foes and allies to each other.

    FANTASTIC MOVIE!
    IF YOU LIKED 13TH WARRIOR, BRAVEHEART AND GLADIATOR, THEN YOU WILL LIKE THE EXTENDED UNRATED VERSION. THE ACTION KEEPS YOU ON THE EDGE OF YOUR SEAT FROM THE START TO THE FINISH. MY WIFE ALSO LOVED IT. NOTE: MY WIFE IS NOT A FAN OF VIOLENT MOVIES. HOWEVER, THIS PARTICULAR MOVIE HAS MANY REDEEMING QUALITIES. IT INSPIRES A SENSE OF JUST DO THE RIGHT THING. DO NOT BE INTIMIDATED TO GO ALONG WITH THE EVIL YOU MAY SEE ALL AROUND YOU. DO NOT BE AFRAID TO STAND UP AGAINST EVIL WHEN YOU SEE IT. THE COSTUMES ARE EXCELLENT. THE BATTLE SCENES ARE VERY REALISTIC AND EXCITING. IT MAKES MY ALL TIME TOP TEN LIST OF MOVIES IN THIS GENRE.

    Arch liberal, white people are bad movie.
    The following is a sarcastic review of a stupid movie

    white viking child adopted by Native Americans. 10 years pass by: The child is now a man, but not exactly considered a great warrior. Then the Vikings return to slaughter the Native Americans (for no reason, except that white vikings get a kick out of slaughtering non-white foreigners). The Indians are beaten like government mules, and than our white hero arrives. Of course, the Vikings don’t attack him. After all why would they slaughter a white guy? He chops their heads off, drowns them in Ice water and they continue to trust and follow him. Why would they trust him after he kills them. god, don’t ask such stupid questions. The answer is obvious: he is white.

    Did anyone else notice that the Native Americans spoke English, and the Vikings spoke their foreign language. It really drove home the point about who was really here first. pure genius….

It is very high quality. I not only have the bedding set but also the laundry hamper, the lamp shade and the wall hangings. My daughter loves staring at all the animals,especially the panda bear. Great product.
