Road Show: Art Cars and the Museum of the Streets Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Expression is not bound by rules and ignoring these rules is a way of life for some. "Road Show: Art Cars and the Museum of the Streets" is a unique book discussing cars and how they have become a medium of artistic expression all their own. Discussing the history of the automobile and its evolution, authors Eric Dregni & Ruthann Godollei provide much in the way of intriguing thoughts and show many examples of people using their vehicle to say their message. "Road Show" is a must for those who have a shared appreciation for the automobile and modern art.

The automobile has long been a symbol of status, power, and autonomy, and ever since King Tut rolled through Egypt on his golden-wheeled chariot, artists and drivers have dreamed up mobile masterpieces. A striking photographic tribute and social history, Road Show navigates a path across high and low art, showing how people around the world are transforming their vehicles into stunning folk art, obsessive collections, social commentary, and visionary performances. In this fascinating showcase, we see how Henry Ford\'s motto, "Any color as long as it\'s black," has been hung out to dry. From the Wienermobile to a hand-carved wooden Ferrari that drives in the canals of Venice to a giant red stiletto heel, Road SHow brings the "museum of the streets" to life.

Eric Dregni has written thirteen books, including Follies of Science, Weird Minnesota, Midwest Marvels, The Scooter Bible, Ads That Put America on Wheels, and Let\'s Go Bowling! He lives in Minneapolis where he teaches Italian and creative writing and plays guitar in the mock-rock trio Vinnie & the Stardusters.

Ruthann Godollei is a professor of art at Macalester College in Saint Paul, Minnesota, and her artwork has been exhibited internationally. She has participated in and organized art car events for over twenty years and drives a 1985 Volvo covered with thousands of printed green gears.

BOWLING FOR SCREAMS Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Sometimes, even Monsters need a break! When players join one eyed Mike Wazowski for a action packed game of bowling, they won't want to stop playing. The game also has great graphics and two difficulty settings-Scary and Horrifying.
In order to make a strike, you'll need to guide your ball. Obstacles such as ramps and pinball style bumpers are all over the bowling alley, so be careful! You can also collect cool power-ups, like one that can make your ball explode upon impact with the pins.
I had SO much fun while playing this thing, and I think anyone who liked the movie will have a blast with this. I really hope Disney will make arcade games as good as this one for some of their other movies, like "The Emporer's New Groove".

Penny Racers Party: Turbo-Q Speedway Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Bought this game for my little brother (he is 7 and an avid Mario Kart player). This game has several strong points going for it: great pick up and play game play with the Wii wheel for all ages (he is 7, I am 22 and it presents challenges to the both of us), also there are many, many cars from such as real models (NSX, Skyline, Lancer Evo, etc) to comical fake models such as a bowl of ramen noodles and monster trucks. Also the ability to customize and tune your car is a wonderful addition when compared to the static karts in Mario Kart. You can unlock something with a first place in most every race so right from the get go, the game gives you motivation to keep playing.
The game lacks in a few areas when compared to Mario Kart however. The weapons are not as fun or as diverse as in MK. Also, the graphics are a bit rougher but not by too much. Lastly, the track selection is not nearly as vast as in Mario Kart, but I have not unlocked all of them so that could change in the days to come. Still, most races take place on a few tracks, but are just run on different circuits or in different directions to keep things interesting/challenging.
All points aside, Penny Racers is a great game and when used with the Wii Wheel it makes for an enjoyable experience for all ages.
