Suzanne Collins’ Hunger Games book series has, so far, produced three top-selling books and two successful movie adaptations. I read The Hunger Games 3 or 4 years ago. Ever since then I’ve had a keen interest in this series. In my opinion it’s one of the most intriguing premises I’ve ever come across in books or movies. We’re givenContinue reading “The Hunger Games, Books and Movies”

My Top 5 Patriotic Movies
In honor of the 4th of July, I decided to post my favorite patriotic movies. I did some searching on the internet to see what movies other websites came up with and I was surprised to find how few patriotic movies there actually are. There is almost nothing about the Revolutionary war, except my #1 pickContinue reading “My Top 5 Patriotic Movies”
Walter Mitty, A New Classic
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, the 2013 version with Ben Stiller, was fun and adventurous and a flat-out great movie. I watched this movie a few nights ago with my entire family (that includes me, my wife, and four kids ages 9, 11, 22, and 24), and I’m happy to report that all 6 ofContinue reading “Walter Mitty, A New Classic”
Maleficent Movie Review
Maleficent takes an old fairy tale and magically turns it into a modern masterpiece. I saw it last night with my 10 year old daughter. We both gave Maleficent high marks. For anyone who is not already aware, Maleficent is the name of the evil witch that casts the sleeping spell on Sleeping Beauty. InContinue reading “Maleficent Movie Review”
Avengers Spoof
The Avengers is one of my favorite movies of all time, but I also love a good spoof. I couldn’t resist watching this Honest Trailer of The Avengers. It’s very funny and most of the jokes are pretty much right on. I laughed all the way through it. Watch and enjoy … and then goContinue reading “Avengers Spoof”
Earth To Echo & Maze Runner
Two New Movies for Young Sci-Fi Fans, Coming Soon! EARTH TO ECHO Coming out July 2nd. This one is exciting to me because it’s a rare science fiction movie that’s actually rated PG.

The Hobbit and Smaug
The Desolation of Smaug, Part 2 in Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit trilogy, gives us more of the same with a really cool dragon added in to keep us watching for the full 161 minutes. There were so many pointless plot threads added to this movie (I presume to make it long enough to be a trilogy)Continue reading “The Hobbit and Smaug”
PRINCE, no more Profanity
Prince is no longer using profanity in his music. In the June edition of Essence magazine he said, “Did you ever hear Muhammad Ali curse? Would you curse in front of your kids? To your mother? Marsha (Ambrosius), Lianne (La Havas), Janelle (Monae), they’re all my sisters. We shouldn’t curse at them. We need to treat allContinue reading “PRINCE, no more Profanity”
