Did Jurassic Park need to get remastered and rereleased in 3D? No. Is it worth it? Sort of. Let me crack into the case a little. We get a 3 disc offering, with the first disc being a Blu-ray of the 3D version of the film. Then we get a second Blu-ray disc featuring the…
This blog post is directly inspired by this tweet: Sweet! Emma & I will be adding another state to the list next month. How many states and/or countries have you been in? — Britt Reints (@missbritt) April 24, 2013 This can sort of be seen as a companion to an earlier blog post…
Once Upon A Rhyme is the latest DVD compilation release from Nick Jr. – containing over 2 hours of pre-school oriented entertainment (and light education). This time around the theme centers around storytelling and fairy tales. Here’s the episode listing: Bubble Guppies – Who’s Gonna Play The Big Bad Wolf? Team Umizoomi – The…
The television series of “Curious George” is based on the 2006 movie, which in turn is based on the children’s book.

I went to the post office to send a package, and came away with a deeper appreciation for a children’s program.
Let me start out by apologizing in advance. This post is not only going to be one of my lesser efforts, it isn’t anything close to what I wanted for you on this momentous day. I’m sorry I couldn’t offer you better. Originally I had planned on flying out to Spokane to see you and take you…
My kids like LEGO – and Star Wars is almost always a welcome topic. The first video that combined the two entities went over well, and a sequel was inevitable. LEGO Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Out is the follow-up to LEGO Star Wars: The Padawan Menace, and where the predecessor presented a cohesive story…
