Where have some of the most popular toys of old gone? Well many of them are still around and have been fixed up for the youngsters of today. (With even more lead paint!)

Just in time for the holidays, here's some toys you may remember that are still around and a few that aren't.

Today on the veg - Jay Mohr as Peter Dragon in Action

(one of the best "cancelled after one season" tv shows ever)

Im a little late on this, but I just watched the season finale of Curb Your Enthusiasm, and it's probably one of the best episodes of television I've ever watched. If you haven't seen it, I wont spoil it. But I will tell you the majority of the episode focused on Larry's anus, so that should tell you something. And there's a montage at the end of the episode I swore was going to end with a "Bobby Ewing in the shower" moment. But what it did do is leave the door open for next season being even funnier.

The second reason for this post is to give props to the funniest mother f'er I've watched in years. His name is J.B. Smoove (really?), and all season he played Leon Black, a member of a displaced Katrina family that stayed with the Davids while their new home was being built. Long story short...Leon was AMAZING, as the following clips will demonstrate.

One more thing...the final clip after the jump is the ending montage I mentioned earlier. It's obviously a spoiler for those who didn't watch. But so what, it's really good.

"Enchanted" *** (out of four): Simple, relentlessly charming fairytale conjures some old-fashioned Mouse House magic – and a star-making turn from Amy Adams.

The opening sequence of Disney’s “Enchanted” is a typical piece of Mouse House fluff. The fair maiden Gisele (voiced by Amy Adams) sings a song about finding “true love’s kiss”, calling upon her animal friends to help construct a mannequin of her dream prince. It’s classic, kid’s-movie hokum, animated in the throw-back, hand-drawn style of “Snow White”, "The Little Mermaid" or, more recently, straight-to-DVD-animated-sequels. But something feels different about the scene. The onscreen characters, as they go through their cutesy jumping about, seem oddly self-aware - as though they realize “you just can’t make ‘em like this anymore.” And the old school animation has a soothing quality – like a balm for the rampant CGI of our time. Of course, Gisele’s animated world isn't all dwarves and singing chipmunks. There's the obligatory wicked Queen Narissa (Susan Sarandon, having a blast) bent on keeping Gisele from marrying Prince Edward (James Marsden, amazingly playing this part for the first time) and stealing her crown. In order to keep the two love birds apart, Narissa casts Gisele into a strange, mysterious world full of all manner of wondrous creatures: New York City.

For the past two weeks, i've been munching os a HUGE slab of "Caramellow", a new chocolate from a company called Hotel Chocolat who've recently launched in the US after establishing themselves in the UK. As some of you may remember, I'm a bit of a Milk Chocolate snob, having written a lengthy review of my favorite Milk Chocolates. So - even though I got a free sample to review - I decided I was going to tell the truth whatever that may be.

The slab they sent me - and slab is the word, a huge block almost Letter sized, of Caramellow - looks like it's been swirled while melted with caramel, and toffee, and - well, i'm not sure. But it's decadent, and luxurious, and I have to say - EXCELLENT milk chocolate. Creamy, sweet, with a hint of coffee and nutmeg. Almost a little smoky, but without the bitterness of a dark chocolate. Stating the obvious, this is a pretty good Secret Santa gift.

Actually to be honest, I wish they'd sent me some of the Liquid Chocolate or the Purist range, which i would liked to compare to the vintage single bean bars that Chocolove make, and got my highest score last time. But nevertheless, highly recommended.
