Finally, one of my kids has turned out to be a Calvin & Hobbes fan and was excited when I offered to pass my Calvin & Hobbes sweatshirt to her. This is my sweet daughter, Alyssa wearing the sweatshirt that has great sentimental value to me, and now to her. Not only is it depictingContinue reading “My Calvin & Hobbes Sweatshirt”

Ariana Grande & the Pop Star Machine
Why is it that talented young actresses that get their start on Nickelodeon and Disney Channel almost always go off the deep end as soon as they hit adulthood? One day they’re clean-cut and wholesome and the perfect role-model for our kids, and then they turn 18 or 21 and turn into partying-hard, overly-sexualized pop stars who careContinue reading “Ariana Grande & the Pop Star Machine”
Once Upon A Time
Honestly, I don’t watch much TV because of a lack of time, and because there is almost always something better I can be doing. And, my kids don’t watch much TV because we encourage reading over screen watching as much as possible. But, if you’ve read my blog at all you will know that I’mContinue reading “Once Upon A Time”
The Boxtrolls
Update Friday, Sept. 26th The Boxtrolls comes out today and the reviews have revealed that it’s not the “family friendly” movie that I imagined in my post below. At least it’s not friendly for the traditional family. I’m referring to the choice the film makers made to weave in a message about the positive virtuesContinue reading “The Boxtrolls”
The Lego Movie – My Review
The Lego Movie has been out since March of this year, so I’ve had plenty of time to read reviews and talk to people who have seen it. All reports have been overwhelmingly positive. You can read a sampling of the reviews here, on an earlier post from my blog. Normally when I’ve heard so manyContinue reading “The Lego Movie – My Review”
Does God Exist? True-U
I am currently going through this DVD series with a group of teenagers at my church. The series is called True-U, Does God Exist? I give it a big STAR and I highly recommend this series as well as the other two True-U sets, “Is The Bible Reliable” and “Who is Jesus?”. It’s professionally made andContinue reading “Does God Exist? True-U”
Robin Williams
Robin Williams, 1951 – 2014 He was one of the great comedians and actors of our time. He had so many great roles in television and movies such as the DJ in Good Morning Vietnam, The Genie in Disney’s Aladdin, Peter Pan in Hook, Mrs. Doubtfire, Patch Adams, and Teddy Roosevelt in Night at the Museum. I lovedContinue reading “Robin Williams”
HOW TO DAD – Funny & True
I know it’s only a Cheerios commercial, but I love this video. Not because it’s clever and funny, although it definitely is that. I love it mostly because it portrays Dads in a positive light. It shows them as smart and cool and as an important part of the family. I get so tired of allContinue reading “HOW TO DAD – Funny & True”
“Hood”, A Fresh Take on Robin Hood
The official name of the series is The King Raven Trilogy, by Stephen Lawhead. That name makes sense within the story, but it’s much easier and accurate to say this series is an action-packed, fun retelling of Robin Hood. Although the 3 books are fictitious, they are all grounded in extensive research done by Mr. Lawhead into the actual roots of the story.Continue reading ““Hood”, A Fresh Take on Robin Hood”
Guardians, Not The Same As Avengers
The new movie, Guardians of the Galaxy is about a group of heroes, adapted from a Marvel comic book series, much like another group of heroes from Marvel Comics, The Avengers. I have yet to see Guardians, but it’s receiving high praise from critics with a 91% at rottentomatoes.com. For the sake of comparison, The Avengers receivedContinue reading “Guardians, Not The Same As Avengers”
