Album Notes: Reverend Horton Heat: Jim Heath (vocals, guitar, ukelele, harmonica); Scott Churilla (vocal, drums, percussion); Jim Wallace (bass). Additional personnel: Tim Alexander (piano, accordion). Recorded at Dallas Sound Labs, Dallas, Texas. On his fifth album, the reverend of warped rockabilly takes his reverb and tremolo-drenched guitar down a road that leads dangerously close to radio-ready modern-rock. Whether this is a good or a bad thing will depend on your particular purity requirements, but there's no denying the catchiness of the stop-start power-chord guitar rhythms in "Lie Detector" or the nearly rapped verses of "Revolution Under Foot." This is a man exploiting his commercial potential and having a blast at the same time. And lest you forget why they call him Reverend, SPACE HEATER has blissful guitar instrumentals like "The Prophet Stomp" and the spaghetti-Western-tinged "Pride of San Jacinto" and redneck garage-rock anthems like "Baby I'm Drunk." Some things, happily, never change. The token surf-guitar song on an earlier Horton Heat album was called "I Can't Surf"; this time around he tries an NRBQ-styled raveup about the kind of surfing he actually can do--"Couch Surfin'."
Advantages: hilariously finny! Disadvantages: childish humour at times!

...Horton Hears a Who?
Horton Hears a Who is the new animated film adaption of the Dr. Seuss book of the same name. Jim Carrey stars as Horton, an elephant who leads a pretty nice life in the jungle. One day he happens upon a dust speck that lands on a clover. In credibly he thinks he hears a voice coming form the speck, and lo and behold, he is right. It is the voice of Ned McDodd the Mayor of Whoville. Whoville is a small, microscopic I guess you could call it, town with lots of inhabitants. The mayor alone has 96 daughters and one son. The mayor is played by Steve Carell (he played the part of David Brent in the US version of the Office and was also in the movie 40 year old Virgin) In my opinion he is really good in this role and makes the character believable. I think Jim Carrey is great though as he always plays an outlandish part...

Advantages: Great fun family film, excellent animation, good story Disadvantages: None
...Horton Hears a Who is a film which has been based on very popular book by Dr Seuss. As my 6 year old is a fan of the books I decided to treat him to the film. I will admit I have now watched it twice as I wanted to watch it on my own with no interruptions first!
The film stars an elephant named Horton, voiced by Jim Carrey, who lives in the jungle of Nool. He has many friends and spends his day teaching the children. One day when he is having a bath in the river he hears a noise which seems to be coming from a tiny speck. Horton follows the noise and manages to catch the speck on a flower. No one believes him when he tells them and tells him to stop being so silly and to stop making the children believe daft things.
Horton knows he is right and soon he managed to talk to one of the people on the speck. The speck is home to Who...
