I recently received glowing reviews for my book, Glazed Man & Rat Girl that I am proud to share with my blog readers. These 2 reviews are especially meaningful because they come from two people who are complete strangers to me. One of them is even one of the Top 500 Reviewers for Amazon. YouContinue reading “Reviews for Glazed Man & Rat Girl”

6 Movie Characters Who Are Great Role Models
The kids of today are more influenced by fictional characters than in any time in history. That’s because our society has somehow come to the conclusion that in order for our children to grow up properly we must give them their own personal viewing device (cell phone), at the earliest sign of puberty, so thatContinue reading “6 Movie Characters Who Are Great Role Models”
The Flash
The CW Network TV series, The Flash plays like a classic superhero tale that the whole family can enjoy. My daughters (13 and 11) and I watched several episodes together this past weekend and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. As a superhero story it has everything going for it that one would expect. It’s about aContinue reading “The Flash”
Woodlawn Inspires
The first couple of times I’d heard of Woodlawn, and even the first time I saw the trailer for it, I was not at all excited about seeing it. “Another football movie about a racially divided school?” I thought. “We’ve seen it all before.” In my mind, the best movie in this category would alwaysContinue reading “Woodlawn Inspires”
The Martian – Movie Review
The Martian, the movie, gets a STAR from me for several reasons. My first reason goes back to my review of the book a few months ago (read it here). Although I considered it one of the best books I’d ever read, I was not able to give it a full endorsement because of the over abundance ofContinue reading “The Martian – Movie Review”
New Mary Poppins Movie
Disney has just announced that they are developing a “new original live-action musical film” about everyone’s favorite magical nanny, Mary Poppins. I’m relieved to tell you that the new movie will not be a remake of the original. That movie, from 1964, is one of the greatest movies of all time and it would be veryContinue reading “New Mary Poppins Movie”
The Auschwitz Escape
The Auschwitz Escape by Joel C. Rosenberg was a fun yet thought provoking read that I recommend to anyone, age 13 and up. The story, though fiction, is based on several true accounts from survivors of the Auschwitz concentration camp during World War II. It centers around a young Jewish man named Jacob who is forcedContinue reading “The Auschwitz Escape”
War Room – An Important Movie
The new movie War Room isn’t a summer blockbuster. It isn’t even a Labor Day blockbuster. There were no car chases, no explosions, no big name stars, no c.g.i. effects, and it’s production budget was very conservative by today’s standards. None of that matters because, in my opinion, War Room is probably the most importantContinue reading “War Room – An Important Movie”
Straight Outta Compton, Movie
Not all rap music is full of explicit language, violence and degrading depictions of women, but much of today’s rap music is. The new movie Straight Outta Compton is a biopic about the group of five rappers known as N.W.A. who had a huge influence in popularizing rap music that is filled with hate, violence,Continue reading “Straight Outta Compton, Movie”
Penguins – Zany Fun
The Penguins of Madagascar movie (2014) is an action-packed comedy bonanza that was largely overlooked in the theaters. I, like most people, missed it during its theatrical run, but I caught it a few nights ago on Netflix. My kids and I thoroughly enjoyed this well-written story of the scene stealing Penguins from the Madagascar movies. TheContinue reading “Penguins – Zany Fun”
