Just got out of the theater. Don't get me wrong, I was entertained throughout the duration of the film. But I rarely got any belly laughs out of it. And I just wanted it to be...well, smarter and funnier.
The animation and production values are awesome. Just seeing Springfield and all the characters on the big screen is enough to make this movie worth going to. But I was rather let down in terms of the comedy. It seemed like it was dumbed down to give it more mass appeal and that's disappointing. I also had annoying little kids sitting around me and their father refused to shut them up...which somewhat ruined the experience. The first 45 min are good, then it dips in humor.
In conclusion, while the South Park movie took advantage of the new medium by pushing the envelope and producing hilarious, brilliant satire...The Simpsons Movie seems to do the opposite, getting watered down in the process.

I'm not particularly into concert DVDs, but this one really is a classic. SRV colorfully demonstrates his genius by putting on a really soulful performance in his home state. Stevie Ray's music is rare in that it's nearly as fun to watch as it is to listen to. Watching him just get possessed and become one with the guitar is really something.
I remember a lot of people in college (in Austin) would always throw on this DVD at parties and get-togethers, just to have on in the background if nothing else.
Voodoo Chile and Texas Flood are masterfully done.
Highly recommended. This guitar prodigy was taken from us way too early...you won't regret owning this little piece of Stevie Ray.

I gotta say I love this show. It really indulges your inner curiosities about a WIDE range of subject matter. What on the surface would sound like some documentary on a lackluster topic you'd watch in grade school, Modern Marvels makes fascinating.
Whether it's guns, engines, shipping, mining, plastics, or something as seemingly mundane as plumbing, Modern Marvels presents an entertaining and well-organized program taking you from the subject's origins to where it's likely headed in the future. This insightful program is highly recommended for those who have even the slightest curiosity, and who desire an understanding of the things that create our society.
