Finally, a family comedy that’s funny, clever, well acted, clean for the most part, and full of that old-fashioned Disney Magic. Crosswalk.com says this … If not for the omnipresent iPhones, the otherwise delightfully retro Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day could pass for something very early Disney, like maybe TheContinue reading “Alexander’s Bad Day”

Pixar’s INSIDE OUT – First Trailer
This is the first trailer released by Pixar for their upcoming movie, Inside Out. The movie’s not due out until June 19th of next year, but I’m excited about this one and I know many others are excited because it’s the first original (not a sequel) Pixar movie since Brave in 2012. In my opinion, Pixar moviesContinue reading “Pixar’s INSIDE OUT – First Trailer”
Fifty Shades of Sesame Street
In a recent Ernie and Bert sketch on everyone’s favorite educational kid’s show Sesame Street, there is an obvious allusion to the Shades of Grey book. Bert is sitting on a park bench and reading a book that clearly shows the title “Fifty Shades of Oatmeal”. He addresses the camera and then reads the book. He says,Continue reading “Fifty Shades of Sesame Street”
My Calvin & Hobbes Sweatshirt
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”
