(Gas Checker Performance)

(Didn't work)

I've had this Seju EZ Gas Check Portable Gas Detector for only a couple of weeks, but it seems to do the job well. It is very sensitive and I don't think it would miss detecting a gas leak. I've only tested it on propane and methane however. One thing I wish it did better would be to have a shorter start up time. From the time the "on" button is pressed, it takes about 6 seconds before it is ready to use. I suppose there is a calibration that it is performing in this time so maybe my wish is not easily accomplished. My 2 cents anyway.

I was interested in something that could help me verify gas connections, checking for leaks.

I removed the cap and turned on the detector, placing it next to the burner on my grill. Turned on the gas without lighting. Nothing happened. Let the gas run for a minute or more. Gas smell quite strong at that point. Detector showed green the whole time.

If it cannot detect gas when it is that strong, I'm sure that I or anyone else will be able to smell gas way before this detector picks up on it. I see no practical value of this detector and returned mine for a refund.
The Seju EZ Gas detection wand detects methane, propane, butane and liquid propane.

(Juvi's Reality Check bounced)

(Juvenile has grown musically, is back, and is better)

(One of the best Juvenile Albums)

(Sloppy)

(Good album from Juve!)

You might remember Juvenile for giving you great albums like Soulja Rags, 400 Degreez and Tha G Code. Juvenile has been down a slippery slope of wackness since Project English. Even though this album is not as bad as the previous two that came before it, its still a forgettable release. The album starts off good with Get Ya Hustle On where Juvi attempts to make a song of substance. Around The Way and Sets Go Up(feat Whacko)are pretty good too. Even though the hook is goofy as hell, I like Keep Talkin(feat Red Eyezz and Skip). I know You Know(feat Trey Songz) is a decent cut for the ladies that should have been the first single instead of Rodeo. Pop U features Ludacris and Fat Joe who along with Juvenile give a good performance. Holla Back might be effective in the club scene. The album has many songs that are weak though. Rodeo was a bad choice for a first single(that video is a cheap rendition of the movie Player's Club) and it was boring! Its not the only dull song on here though. Animal and Say It To Me Now(feat Kango)are bland tracks that will knock you out like shots of Hennessey. Addicted(featuring a hilariously bad performance by Brian Mcknight) is not even a song. Its just Juvenile talking; no not taking; WHINING about some girl stalking him. Even though Skip's verse was comical, Loose Booty(also featuring 8-Ball) is straight garbage. Who's Ya Daddy is plain stupid and so is What's Happening(D-list Sir Mix-a-lot rhymes over a A-list beat:Priceless). Bun B has a dope verse on Rock Like That but the track is still filler and Why Not feat Skip is Ha part 2. More Disposables: Way I Be Leanin(feat Mike Jones, Paul Wall, Skip and Whacko) and Break A Brick Down. Bottom Line: Juvenile's Reality Check is not his worst album(Hello, Project English anybody?)but its still a forgettable release that might not be reached for years to come like his first three albums on Cash Money. Standout Tracks: GET YOUR HUSTLE ON, AROUND THE WAY, SET'S GO UP, KEEP TALKIN, HOLLA BACK and POP U.
Even though I think "400 degreez" has more solid hits in the form of 3 songs (Back that a** up, Ha (and the Jay-z remix), Follow me now), I still like this album. Juve seems to have grown in his lyrics and musical style. He explores more music themes instead of that hot-southern sound from Mannie Fresh. He also sounds angrier- actually like his voice sounds like he's growling most of the time.lol. My fave songs: What's happenin, Pop U, Rodeo. I think the album is very listenable and has at least one or more songs anyone would like.
Get ya hustle on, get ya hustle on! This is the Juvenile album I liked the best out of all of them.
The songs on this c.d. are just plain wack. I loved the old Juvenile so i thought i may as well go ahead and buy this album. But I was wrong to do that. Juvenile's last album was hot and this album was nowhere near that. No creativity and the hooks sucked. Production was also awful. Sorry Juve but this album was not your best. Could have done a lot better.
Pretty good album. Only a few songs I didn't like but the rest were hot. Another great effort from Juve!

TOP TRACKS:
Get Ya Hustle On
Sets Go Up
Way I Be Leanin'
Rodeo
What's Happaning

Early hints seemed to suggest thatReality Checkcould be a turning point for Juvenile. Fueled by the destruction of his native New Orleans, Juve seemed ready to let the world feel his wrath. Instead,Reality Checkhardly breaks much new ground; even "Get Ya Hustle On," with its stark video filmed in the ravaged 5th Ward, is little more than another "cook crack" anthem even if he takes time to lash out at FEMA. It's not likeReality Checkwill disappoint old fans--the cocky swagger and brazen sexuality is still in full effect, especially on stripper pole anthems like "Rodeo," and "Loose Booty" or any of the electro-groovy tunes such as "Why Not" or the explosive "Pop U." Still, compared to former Hot Boy partner Lil Wayne, whose recentTha Carter IIfound Weezy pushing to a new level of artistry, Juve seems content to coast.--Oliver Wang
Featuring guest artists Ludacris, Trey Songz, Bun B, 8Ball, Mike Jones, Paul Wall, Brian McKnight and others, Reality Check is Juvenile's most well-rounded album to date. As for the album tile, Juvenile explains, "That's where I'm at right now in my life. I feel like everybody needs a reality check. I have em' all the time. Nobody's perfect." Then, smiling wide enough to show all his diamond-encrusted teeth, he finishes: "But I feel like I got the perfect album."

(A typical GUTTERMOUTH punk rock show)

Guttermouth at its best. The sound and the image are great. You'll see the band rocking with 20 of their best hits, old and new ones (only one from Gusto). There's also bonus footage. You'll hear Mark's and Ty's commentaries on the show and you'll see Mark and the bassist in a bar. If you're a Guttermouth fan and you've never seen them on show, buy this DVD and if you've seen them a couple of time like me, it will bring back good memories.

L.A.
Orange County heroes Guttermouth check all inhibitions at the door and give the crowd what they want: a live show chock full of obnoxious lyrics, rowdy mosh pits, and enough obscenity and debauchery to make Lenny Bruce blush. The 20 song DVD comes packaged woth a 20 song CD packaged in your choice of amaray case or jewel case! Tracks include "Asshole", "Derek", "Lipstick", Marco Polo", Bruce Lee vs. Kiss Army", "Chug-A-Lug Night" and more.

(BONG WATER STINKS! 1 1/2 STARS)

(Don't Drink the Bongwater)

(FUNNY movie)

(Soundtrack)

(CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!!!!)

Jack Black, Andy Dick and Co. do what they can in this pointless and goofy movie. As stoner films go this one just doesn't have many laughs or story for that matter. If you like stoner films, stick to the early Cheech&Chong films. Andy Dick made me laugh a few times, but that's about it. Black has a small role, but he makes his presence known as usual.
I don't get all the 4 and 5-star reviews for this movie. I watched it during a free preview weekend, and I suppose I got my money's worth. I like stoner movies as much as the next person, but this one isn't even in the same league as a Cheech and Chong movie or Half-Baked. It was not funny, and didn't really go anywhere - and what the hell was with the ending?

Jack Black was somewhat funny in his small role, but I didn't even chuckle until the last 10 minutes. The funniest part was the series of answering machine messages that played during the credits (which I missed part of due to annoying movie channel voiceover ads). Maybe one has to be stoned to find this movie funny. However, a good movie will be funny regardless of the number of tokes taken while watching it (watch The Big Lebowski for a good example).

I have to agree with the reviewer who said the movie's title was apt because the bongwater is the unwanted leftover. There are much better pot-themed movies out there.
GREAT pot-head, laugh fest movie. I thought my luck was bad until I saw this guy! Jack Black makes a small but FUNNY appearance as a trippin' farmer. A must have for any Cheech&Chong collector!
Does anyone know the soundtrack listing for this movie? The last song is great!
This movie was nothing but rubbish - it went absolutely nowhere. It wasn't even funny - I hardly got a chuckle at most.

I agree with everything the other people have said that have given this movie a 1-star rating.

DO NOT make the same mistake as me and buy this DVD - rent it first if you REALLY want to waste 2 hours of your time...

Very Fun Movie, Cute boys and an orangutan have a special bond.
Full of laughs and a sweet bond with their father.
My 10 yr old son has this movie&absolutely loved it, so I purchased it for my friend's children for Christmas. They loved it too! My friend was glad to get a movie the whole family could enjoy.
I was suprised that I actually liked this. Ape Dunston! It is warm, fun, and slightly zany, and seems not to take itself too seriously which is a good thing to me.

Oh, and "Lord Rutledge" that is a great freakin' name!
My grandchildren love this movie. There is one word that is said that I'm not pleased about being in it but it was subject for discussion about what is appropriate language. The laughter resounds through the house when we watch this movie.
High society gets a dose of monkey business in this family-friendly bit of simian slapstick. Less foul and more fun than Clyde from the Clint Eastwood comedies, Dunston is the practical-joking orangutan partner of foppish jewel thief Rupert Everett. Making his escape in a five-star New York hotel, Dunston lands in the protective care of 10-year-old Eric Lloyd, the high-spirited son of harried hotel manager Jason Alexander, and together they turn the snooty social event of the year into a zoo. Faye Dunaway is Alexander's overbearing boss just aching for a comic comeuppance, and Paul "Pee-wee Herman" Reubens dons a mauve tuxedo as Buck La Farge, animal-control specialist. Would you believe the monkey upstages them all? Though hardly the smartest comedy around, this is a cute, cuddly little barrel full of monkeyshines just made for the younger crowd. Rated PG for one (yelled) word.--Sean Axmaker

(For more than just baseball fans)

(Sugar-Coated Glurge)

(remember 9/11)

(The World Series the Yankees SHOULD have won...)

(parochial and myopic)

This is one of the best made documentaries by HBO. Among many things, it shows how baseball helped New York and America survive the shocking aftermath of September 11, 2001.
This ridiculous pile of maudlin crud would be funny if it wasn't so darned sad. First, the common theme is "New York NEEDED this World Series in it's recovery from September 11" and "New York DESERVED this World Series" and "It was America v. Arizona," etc. Never mind that the Yankees payroll was three times that of Arizona and that the Yankees had won four of the previous five October classics- nope, they were SUPPOSED to win this one because...um, well, because terrorists attacked New York, I guess.

The DVD also doubles as a campaign commercial for Rudy Giuliani, who manages to appear in WAY too many segments. One of the most unintentionally funny moments comes when the series goes back to Arizona and one of the Mayor's spokesmen talks about the "tough decision" concerning whether Giuliani should fly to Phoenix to be there- "what if we were attacked again in his absence?" Hmm, yeah, what if? I guess NYC would have had to get by without the Mayor wandering around the rubble looking for his command center with a bullhorn in his hand.

Another great moment comes when a Pwecious Wittle Girl reads a letter she wrote to Derek Jeter about how she weally, weally woves him and hopes he wins the whole thing. I had to pause the DVD and go brush my teeth after that part.

There's a lot more, but the message woven throughout the film remains the same- the people of NYC are Heroes who were Bent but not Broken, the New York Yankees ARE the city of NY, and it was Wrong and Bad for the Diamondbacks to win that Series. It was as if the Terrorists had Won.

Watch the DVD with some friends for a laugh, and supply plenty of booze. But don't invite any diabetics, this will send them into shock before the halfway mark.
the main reason i bought this video is because the price finally dropped. i happened to be at this - my first- world series. i watched games three and four in yankee stadium after making the long trek out from colorado in late october. i'm very experiential and had to visit ground zero. every time i'm in nyc i visit the same corner. jeter's november heroics are memorable and by kim's meltdown. he never really recovered from those home runs. kim was just traded from the colorado rockies to the marlins. unfortunately, the yankees lost that one on a luis gonzalez's bloop single off mariano rivera, but there was nothing like watching president bush throw out the first pitch, the wtc flag unfurled over yankee stadium and lee greenwood singing.
Being a Yankees fan, it always baffles me that the Yankees lost the World Series of 2001. If there ever, EVER was a year they deserved to win, 2001 was it.

I enjoyed the footage of the series as well as the interviews with the team and the family members who were impacted by the series. This documentary will make you laugh and cry. Above all, it will make you remember...
One of the most monumental events in the history of American sports, the 2001 World Series is perhaps more worthy than any other sports topic of a comprehensive, informed and inspired film document. This film is not that document.

The premise of the filmmakers is that the New York Yankees, because they chose to play after September 11 rather than abandoning the season, should be regarded as saints. They then maintain that it was the patriotic duty of the Yankees' opponents to roll over and lose in order to improve the moods of their non-playing interview subjects (all New Yorkers). Meanwhile, the players responsible for the most courageous and inspiring performance in baseball history are cast as villains, and the city that experienced the greatest moment of sports-inspired civic pride in American history is ignored.

Here are three reasons why this World Series will be talked about in 2051 that were barely, if it all, talked about in this movie:

1. There has never been a greater contrast in the backgrounds of the two participants in a professional sports championship: the most celebrated, decorated team in American sports history against one that was only playing its fourth season. The Yankees were fielding teams when Arizona was not even a state! I would make the argument that not only was this the most important event in Arizona SPORTS history, but by way of having so little traditionally defined history, this was the biggest thing ever to happen in Arizona period!

2. By virtue of becoming the first pitcher to win three games in one series since Mickey Lolich, Randy Johnson became the unchallenged star of the series. The most spectacular pitching performer since Nolan Ryan, this series marked his transformation from star to legend. While it's unfortunate that he did not make himself available for interviews that is no reason to be giving him passing mentions instead of prominent ones.

3. There is no more magical moment in sports than a bottom-of-the-ninth come from behind rally by the home team to win the seventh game of a World Series. What will place this in the realm of the greatest sports legends is that it occurred in the context of a blown save by the greatest relief pitcher in the history of the game.

For Pete's (and Pinnacle Peak's) sake let's all hope that fans from both of these cities someday get the film about this series that they deserve.

Short, well-made documentary showing how the NY Yankees vs. AZ Diamondbacks world series games, just a month after 9-11, provided welcome relief from the uncertainty New Yorkers, and the nation, felt about how to proceed with their lives. The Yankees, during the series, came to symbolize and re-strengthen everything that was, and is, New York... and America.
In the days following terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in 2001, sports might have seemed trivial and irrelevant. ButNine Innings from Ground Zerodemonstrates how New Yorkers, in fact, embraced baseball with a cathartic passion, turning Yankees and Mets games into spontaneous rituals of grief and showcases for resilience and the restoration of normalcy. Off the field, both teams found a way to comfort the city to the extent they could, visiting firefighters and relatives of the dead; the Yankees' Derek Jeter personally reached out to the young daughter of one of the pilots killed by hijackers. The Yankees' ride to the World Series that year is covered extensively here, and the team's up-and-down dramas playing against Phoenix coincide with such off-field horrors as an anthrax scare and more warnings of terrorism. Outstanding game footage and interwoven analysis of baseball action and real-world events makeNine Inningsunique.--Tom Keogh

(What Gene Kelly does to "Do I Love You, Do I" is...ah...memorable. Thank goodness for Lucille Ball and Donald Meek)

(Lucille Ball's Musical Debut!)

(Entertaining Musical)

(Reserved for rabid Lucille fans)

(Du Barry Was a Lady 1943)

"Be brave, my friend. You are dying for your country!" says The Black Arrow (Gene Kelly) to his pal, the grubby Taliostra (Zero Mostel), as the tumbrel bears them to the guillotine.

"Yeah," says Taliostra, "but I was born in the city." Expect much more of the same with Du Barry Was a Lady.

The 1939 Broadway smash starred two powerful performers, Bert Lahr and Ethel Merman, a first rate, innuendo-filled set of songs by Cole Porter, and lots of girls and gags. So what did MGM do when the studio bought the rights? Ditched Merman and Lahr and almost all of the Porter songs. (To be fair, a good many of Porter's lyrics would not have gotten past Hollywood's Code of Decency). MGM kept the girls.

MGM bought the rights for three reasons...to have a vehicle to showcase its up-and-coming comic lead, Red Skelton; the same with their newest knockout beauty coming to them from RKO, Lucille Ball; and to use Gene Kelly until they could figure out what to do with him. Skelton plays Louis Blore, a hatcheck boy at a posh New York nightclub who has a crush on May Daly (Ball), the club's headliner. But she wants security, not love. Still, we know she likes Alec Howe (Kelly), the nightclub's MC, dancer and songwriter, who loves her. When Louis wins the lottery, May decides to marry him. But then a mistaken mickey knocks Louis out and he wakes up as Louis XV, with May as Madame Du Barry and Alec as Black Arrow, the dashing fighter for freedom. All those comic relief employees of the nightclub, the likes of Mostel, Rags Ragland and Virginia O'Brien, show up as peasants or nobles, along with just about everyone else Louis had met in the nightclub, including Donald Meek. Things finally are resolved, with happiness all around, when Louis comes to and finds himself back in the nightclub with May, Alec and all his pals.

The movie has that smooth, unreal MGM Technicolor gloss that can make even genuine talent seem artificial. The best thing that can be said is that the movie has a few highlights and a great deal of barely imaginative but skilled professionalism. To substitute for the songs by Porter that were pitched, there is, in my view, a hodge-podge of mostly second-rate and facile Hollywood music and lyric writing. In place of Porter's clever, sophisticated and amusing songs, including the inventive and salacious "But in the Morning, No" where he comes up with some startling metaphors for sex in the a.m., we're stuck with "Madame, I Love Your Crepes Suzettes" and "I Love an Esquire Girl." Even Lahr wouldn't be able to make these lyrics funny. All Skelton does is mug and prance while he performs them.

If you like Red Skelton, you might enjoy Du Barry Was a Lady. He's in almost every scene, doing all of his unusual shtick. For me, Skelton was at his most appealing when he wasn't doing all the grab-`em-by-the-throat clowning, Give me the Skelton who was Wally "The Fox" Benton, master sleuth on radio, inept in real life, in Whistling in the Dark (1
