The summer of 2014 has officially begun with the opening of The Amazing Spider-Man 2, in theaters everywhere this weekend. I’ve read many reviews on it and it looks like I’m going to have to give it two different grades. In the area of morality and appropriateness for younger audiences, I’m giving it a definiteContinue reading “Amazing Spider-Man 2”

Rat Girl & Glazed Man
Yesterday was National Superhero Day. What can I say? I was inspired to create a new image of my two favorite superheroes. DC comics fans might recognize the pose as being similar to one struck by a certain bat and a cat. No dis-respect to those two great comic book characters, nor the original artwork thatContinue reading “Rat Girl & Glazed Man”
My TOP 10 Funniest Supporting Characters in CG Animated Movies
INTRODUCTION – Long before computer animation came along, it was a given that every G-rated animated movie would have at least one goofy sidekick character injected into the script to keep the audience laughing. That’s because dangerous situations and evil villains are as necessary in kids’ movies as they are in movies for adults. Therefore,Continue reading “My TOP 10 Funniest Supporting Characters in CG Animated Movies”
GODZILLA – Old & New
The New Godzilla movie will attack theaters on May 16th. At the bottom of this post is a trailer for the new movie, but first, let’s take a quick look at Godzilla over the last 59 years.

Kirsten Dunst – Honest Comments
Actress Kirsten Dunst; “I feel like the feminine has been a little undervalued… We all have to get our own jobs and make our own money, but staying at home, nurturing, being the mother, cooking – it’s a valuable thing my mum created. … And sometimes, you need your knight in shining armor. I’m sorry.Continue reading “Kirsten Dunst – Honest Comments”
GOD’S NOT DEAD – A Must See For Teens
I highly recommend that every parent of middle school or high school age kids watch God’s Not Dead with their kids. It’s not a perfect movie by any means, but it’s message is important and needed for today’s youth. Besides the great message, God’s Not Dead is enjoyable for its little-guy-takes-on-the-big-establishment theme. My family and IContinue reading “GOD’S NOT DEAD – A Must See For Teens”
Star Wars VII News
What’s going on with the new Star Wars trilogy? I did some checking around the web to see if anything definite is known so far. It’s important to keep up with this topic because, after all, when Star Wars: Episode VII hits the theaters in December of 2015, directed by none other than J.J. Abrams,Continue reading “Star Wars VII News”

As the 2nd Captain America solo film, Captain America: The Winter Soldier prepares to launch this weekend, I thought it would be fun to see how this most patriotic of Marvel heroes has progressed throughout the years in film.

NOAH – The Reviews Are In
I’ve spent the morning reading reviews of the new Noah movie. Here is a spattering of what’s being said. Jump down to the bottom for my personal comments. PLUGGEDIN.COM – “Director Darren Aronofsky offers a spectacular and often moving story, but it’s obviously not the story of Noah. There’s more Tolkien than Torah here, really, and moreContinue reading “NOAH – The Reviews Are In”
WONDERSTRUCK – A Visual Treat
One of my favorite authors for young readers is Brian Selznick. He is the author and illustrator of the book that inspired the 2011 movie, Hugo. The book’s full title is The Invention of Hugo Cabret (2007). When I read that book back in 2009 with my daughter I was in awe of it from start toContinue reading “WONDERSTRUCK – A Visual Treat”
