Ok, last studio album proper until I get to Green Day's newest release 21st Century Breakdown.  I think I'll tackle that before dealing with Bullet in a Bible or Shenanigans. Warning came as a surprise... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~474401377924 Thu, 18 Jun 2009 16:03:24 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_474401377924?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_474272599684?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author richco -

OK, This is it, kids.  The last Tomorrow People review.  It took a while but I finally got set three which encompasses seasons 5-8.  It was less about time this time out than it was waiting to find the set... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~474258968196 Wed, 17 Jun 2009 13:06:16 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_474258968196?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_472442637956?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author richco - The Full title here is The Wonderful World of Puss n Boots.  I don't know why it's not Puss AND Boots, but hey, whatever, right?I got this film because of the fact that it's one of the earliest works of Anime great Hayao Miyazaki who,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~472442637956 Mon, 1 Jun 2009 14:48:26 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_472442637956?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_470131445380?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author richco - Well, as we all know, Dookie came out and was a success all around.  It made our three favorite goofballs from Berkley pretty much bigger than life, MTV Darlings, and pin-up stars.  I'd say 90% of the bands in their place would release... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~470131445380 Tue, 12 May 2009 11:44:56 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_470131445380?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_470033469060?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author richco - Yes, the new Green Day album is on it's way, so here's my third review of the band's third Full length album part of my Green Day Review Project.  While I thought I might be able to complete the catalog by the 15th, I'm not so sure now.I had... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~470033469060 Mon, 11 May 2009 15:09:23 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_470033469060?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_469395672708?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author richco - It’s easy as pie to pick out the people who got into Green Day before Dookie, and those who got into Green Day after Dookie.  If you like the first two albums, you probably got into the band before... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~469395672708 Tue, 5 May 2009 18:58:40 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_469395672708?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_469278232196?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author richco - Ah, Green Day.  They are my favorite band, in case you didn't know.  So, on the cusp of the release of the first studio album since 2004's American Idiot, I thought I should try and rifle through the catalog and get them all reviewed... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~469278232196 Mon, 4 May 2009 17:56:18 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_469278232196?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_462987366020?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author richco -

So, for my first 2009 post I managed to finally polish off set one of the fondly remembered for being on Nickelodeon in the 80's Thames TV classic The Tomorrow People.  It's the second month of the year so it's only fitting I should review... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~462218694276 Thu, 26 Feb 2009 19:23:18 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_462218694276?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_458513157764?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author richco -

I got turned onto the Ramones by this dude called Rob who worked at Alwilk Records in Livingston Mall in, oh, 1987 or thereabouts. I had a weekly ritual where I&#146d go buy a new cassette tape, based on what new metal band put what out, or beefing up... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~433933749892 Mon, 16 Jun 2008 18:15:21 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_433933749892?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_432395423364?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author richco - This record seems to be a polarizing one for Ramones fans. It’s a love or hate proposition generally. I mean there are people who only like the first four albums and think everything else is crap, and then there are the fans that like everything... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~432395423364 Mon, 2 Jun 2008 19:10:27 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_432395423364?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_431916027524?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author richco - I picked this up Freshman year of college, so it was only 4 and change years old by then. I was excited to get some Agent Orange on CD as my cassette copy of This is the Voice was not playable on my radio show, and I really wanted something by... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~431916027524 Thu, 29 May 2008 19:10:57 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_431916027524?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_431889485444?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author richco - I remember watching The Benny Hill Show on public TV back in the early 80s. My parents, bless ‘em, had a rather skewed set of what I could and could not watch. Benny Hill? Sure? James Bond? Yup. Monty Python? No. Heck, I wasn’t allowed to see PG... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~431889485444 Thu, 29 May 2008 15:10:13 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_431889485444?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_431654211204?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author richco - Waaaaaay back in the 80&#146s my skater friends told me how much I&#146d like Agent Orange and I remember seeing a video of Mark Gator or somebody skating along to &#148The Last Goodbye&#148 and thinking it was good. Because this record was damn hard... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~431654211204 Tue, 27 May 2008 18:28:12 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_431654211204?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_431249985156?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author richco - OK, the title to this one is a little weak, but sometimes I just get stuck, OK? Anyway this is one of the restorations done by UCLA. It has been restored to almost perfect condition. I say “almost perfect” because there are some instances where the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~431249985156 Sat, 24 May 2008 10:57:26 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_431249985156?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_429061279364?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author richco - Listen kiddies, there’s HUGE spoilers in this review, because I can’t get into the nitty gritty without them. So, the missus and I went to see Iron Man this weekend. You probably want to know if it was any good.

They were playing live in the studio, and when they got to the song “Veronica Hates Me” I simply know I needed to get anything the band had out. The next day I promptly... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~428534304388 Fri, 2 May 2008 12:02:20 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_428534304388?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_428448255620?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author richco - Yeah, I know that title is awful. I know it full well, and I will not apologize for it. I intend to get to ten reviews this month, and so help me I will, awful pun-filled titles notwithstanding. I was first exposed to this show (which ran in the UK... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~428448255620 Thu, 1 May 2008 18:11:02 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_428448255620?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_428446289540?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author richco - I have seen this film more times than a sane man should have. I have seen too much. This anemic follow-up to the superb Cannonball Run (1981) used to be on HBO about as much as say, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, or Beastmaster. Although, really, has... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~428446289540 Thu, 1 May 2008 17:26:12 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_428446289540?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_423930531460?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author richco - If, like me, you like girl bands or bands with female singers, this is the band for you. The Unlovables hail from the little-known town called New York City*, and bring to you, dear readers, some of the most perfect pop-punk in the history of the genre... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~423930531460 Fri, 28 Mar 2008 19:29:12 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_423930531460?linkin_id=8003929
