Superman Unbound Blu-ray

Superman: Unbound is the latest DC animated direct to video film to arrive, and in some ways it is the most surprising. It is rated “PG-13” and certainly earns it. You might be tempted to pick it up and let the kids watch it, but there might need to be some parental supervision and intervention….

Up And Down And Up And Down

Dear Xavier, I love you. I really do. But this is getting ridiculous. I sort of understand the issues about not wanting to go to sleep and getting out of bed, and you’re not the first kid to do that. You get out of bed, I put you back. We do this several times until…

Curious George Swings Into Spring

The television series of “Curious George” is based on the 2006 movie, which in turn is based on the children’s book. The deviation from the source material could have been a bad thing, but the spirit of the curious little monkey is captured very well in this PBS series. Switching back and forth from urban…

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic – Princess Twilight Sparkle

The more I watch “My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic” the more I am getting drawn in to it’s world of whimsy, friendship, magic, and fun. While largely appealing (and geared) towards girls, the way it is written has generated a much broader appeal. Sure many of the characters are fairly stereotypical, but there are…

Earth Day? No Thanks!

By |

I don’t celebrate Earth Day. Does that make me a jerk? Maybe, but I’m comfortable with what I do and who I am. Allow me to explain. To me, one day isn’t effective. I was in Fred Meyer this morning and they turned off some of the lights “in honor of Earth Day.” Why not…

It’s been a couple of weeks, I know, but nothing much has happened. Life is normal, so much so that as soon as Spring Break ended and the kids went back to school I took 2 of them to the doctor’s office that morning. Nothing serious, but it’s just life. Here’s a silly picture of…

For Kyle At 21

Let me start out by apologizing in advance. This post is not only going to be one of my lesser efforts, it isn’t anything close to what I wanted for you on this momentous day. I’m sorry I couldn’t offer you better. Originally I had planned on flying out to Spokane to see you and take you…

LEGO Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Out

My kids like LEGO – and Star Wars is almost always a welcome topic. The first video that combined the two entities went over well, and a sequel was inevitable. LEGO Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Out is the follow-up to LEGO Star Wars: The Padawan Menace, and where the predecessor presented a cohesive story…
