With his trademark happy hair and spirited band comes Dan Zanes in his first-ever DVD, a concert/video collection of sing along melodies blending rock, folk, and global rhythms into a homespun musical menagerie. Formerly with the Del Fuegos band and riding on the success of seven CDs, Zanes presents All Around the Kitchen! featuring nine musical selections performed live in concert at New York's Knitting Factory. Whether familiar songs such as "Hokey Pokey" and "Polly Wolly Doodle," or lesser known numbers like "Malti," Zanes takes traditional music, winsomely turns it on its head, and adds such diverse instruments as accordion, banjo, upright bass, mandolin, and ukulele. On the program's alternative track, viewers can choose among a half dozen music videos pulsating with kids, street scenes, dancing, singing, and jubilant acoustics. There is "House Party Time," "All Around the Kitchen," and "Hello" as seen on Noggin, as well as "Jump Up" and "Go Down Emmanuel Road" performed on Sesame Street. Zanes' soulful musicians, contagious enthusiasm, and all-inclusive approach to music make this a song-and-dance fest where everyone finds a voice. (All ages) --Lynn Gibson

Customer Reviews:
visually dull.......2007-05-25
The concert and videos are not visually appealing for the young ones. The image quality and footage of concert is a VERY small step above amateur. If your child is a fan of the colorful Dan Zanes videos on TV, this video is not the same.
Great Video.......2007-05-10
My 2 1/2 yr. old loves to dance around to this video and I enjoy watching it with her. It's a little bit hip (so you don't feel like you are watching Barney) but still kid friendly.
Dan Zanes Rocks!!.......2007-05-02
Well every time they play one of the songs on the Disney Channel my daughter goes nuts...so when I saw that he had a movie I thought PERFECT!!!! Well I was right my 15 month old daughter loves the silly songs and dances with Dan and his band. Very unique music... even I don't mind watching it. Everyone can get into Dan 's music. We love this DVD and hope he makes another one!!
ABSOUTLEY BRILLANT!.......2007-03-27
this is a masterpiece. Dan zans is not only my sons favorite but mine! we have such a blast and gavin actully like the concert better then the videos. His fav. song and my fav. song is ring the bell we love doing all the moations and singing along. i highley reccomend this dvd as well as all of his cd's we ar ehuge dan zanes fans!! A+++++++++
Love it!.......2007-03-19
I think Dan Zanes is just great. I can't stand the majority of kids' music, but Dan Zanes & a small handful of others are great. I don't get a headache & my kids love dancing and singing along. These videos are great--you feel like you are a part of them. We've played this at birthday parties. Every child is up & dancing in no time!

Far above "The Untouchables".......2002-07-15
Unfairly accused of being a shameless HK "The Untouchables" clone, First Shot rises far above the almost comic book feel of its supposed source material.
The story of the fight against widespread corruption in the Hong Kong police hierarchy in the 1970's, this film stars the estimable Ti Lung as "Tamerlane", an unflinchingly honest cop. Tamerlane is shot in the neck by one of his own men for his refusal to overlook the corruption of his colleagues.
After his release from the hospital, he is approached by Maggie Chung's Annie Ma who has been deputized to pursue and prosecute corrupt cops on the HK police force.
Assembling a group of fellow "incorruptibles"--including, paradoxically the very officer that shot him (Simon Yam's Sam Mok)--repentant and reformed Tamerlane and his secret squad go after "Faucet" (Waise Lee Chi Hung)--the triad boss who is the financial source of the widespread bribery, murder and mayhem.
The cast is universally excellent--Ti Lung is a strong, dignified--yet haunted Tamerlane. Maggie Chung is a strong female presence, the focal point who holds the group together when tragedy and treachery threaten its existence. Simon Yam has never been more appealing as the tormented but ultimately heroic Sam and Waise Lee Chi Hung plays the evil Faucet to chilling perfection.
For a compelling look into an anti-corruption squad with a story every bit as compelling as Ness's crew--forgo the big screen "Untouchables" and give "First Shot" a watch. You won't be disappointed.
Funny , action-packed HK flick.......2002-03-17
Ti Lung does it again with a terrific performance as a cop who
is wronged by corruption. The actor who protrayed the main crime boss is the kind of guy you love to hate (I think he was Sheng from A Better Tomorrow Part 1).
Anyway , on to the technical aspect. The subtitling is built into the picture and is a so-so legible quality. Half the time , some of subtitles are outside the viewable area , so I just zoomed out using my dvd remote. The subtitles are also replete with spelling and grammatical errors.
The sound quality is okay (though mono). It's better than some fake 5.1 mixes i've seen. The picture quality shows its age but is workable. For people who can speak Mandarin , there is a Mandarin dub.
The extras are rather lousy. They have a trailer for First Shot and some other flick. There's also some bios but nothing too fancy.
Bottom line , definetly worth a rental if you like HK action movies or Ti Lung. The main theme alone is worth a listen.
Solid, if unspectacular HK cop movie.......2001-03-26
Not electrifying by any means, but definitely a solid picture of police corruption in HK circa 1970. Ti Lung can do no wrong, literally, in his starring role. Simon Yam is fine as the bad-turned-good savior. Waise Lee comes through as the evil kingpin, and Ti Lung's 2 sidekicks turn in admirable roles, each with some flavor (one a Bruce Lee devotee, the other a vain gunman.) Yes, it is a very familiar Untouchables story, but told well, and with no plot holes or ridiculous moments. Well, one scene in a gay bar really pushes the boundaries of good taste, but it's over quick enough, and acts as decent comic relief. Though the film is formulaic, it will hold your attention throughout. There is some gunplay, some martial arts combat, and plenty of fast-paced action throughout. It keeps up a brisk pace, with some wry comedic bits (some of which are actually funny) and ends how it begins: predictably solid. Not an A, but a solid B of an HK cop movie.
Unoriginal, but action filled.......2001-03-25
Like much modern Hong Kong cinema, this film is wildly unoriginal, but has just enough action to keep you watching to the end. An accomplished cast makes the ride easier, but you have to wonder why so much talent appears in a film that cannot be described as anything more than mediocre.

Spectacular cinematography used in an innovative framework featuring noted actor and native Egyptian Omar Sharif provide a highly entertaining glimpse of ancient Egypt in this documentary from National Geographic. Sharif, playing a grandfather who is explaining the archeological wonders to his inquisitive granddaughter, does a fine job of explaining such puzzles as how the pyramids would have been built and what knowledge their builders must have possessed. The interludes between grandfather and granddaughter are handled well, but the star of the production is Egypt itself. Gorgeously composed shots linger over the pyramids, the Sphinx, and a plethora of temples, and a camera flown over the Nile provides stunning footage of the great river's meanderings. Reenactments of events, such as the building of the pyramids, the burial of King Tut, and the 1922 opening of his tomb, are presented intelligently. This production is sure to spark curiosity about ancient Egypt, and even without the careful handling of the history it would probably be worth watching just for the wondrous cinematography. A bonus at the end of the tape is a making-of documentary detailing how the film was shot on location. --Robert J. McNamara
