We love “Phineas And Ferb” at my house. The crazy antics are a hit with the kids, and I love the positive energy. There is some classic comedy stylings as well as music, some intrigue with Secret Agent Perry, and just about everything. “Phineas And Ferb” seems to be a sort of “kitchen sink” show…

I was recently struck with not just how different my life is now from before I had children, but how different I was as a person. There are times I wonder if the 22 year old me would recognize himself in the me of today at 45 years old. Back then I smoked, but…
To summarize the plot of Les Miserables can be a daunting task. This version is a film of the musical based on the Victor Hugo book, but the plot is effectively the same. Without going too far in depth, if you’re not familiar with the basic premise, the next paragraph is for you. Hugh…
I’m a fan of the way Saturdays used to be. I would get up early, watch “Scooby Doo”, “Super Friends” and “Hong Kong Phooey” then after Saturday morning cartoons were over and the regular programming turned to sports, I’d switch the channel to something with double digits and check out a monster movie or a…

I wrote this review and then it somehow disappeared. My original review was better written and I put off rewriting it because I knew it wouldn’t be as good. My sentiments are the same with regards to the game. I’m just not happy with this review. Corpse Party: Book Of Shadows is a Japanese…
Sunday mornings were very different years ago. I was struck by this recently as my 2 (soon to be 3) year old came running in to bring me a piece of paper. Years, no – decades, ago, Sundays were for sleeping in and sleeping off. I would wake at some late hour on Sunday,…
“I don’t need to go potty!” I’m putting my toddler down for nap. We arrive home from dropping off Ciárán at preschool and Xavier knows the routine well. Shoes and coat off, go to the bathroom, diaper on, then upstairs for story and nap. As we approach the bathroom, Xavier begins protesting. Well, he was…
I’ve been playing a lot of Zen Pinball 2 on my PlayStation Vita lately thanks to a few new virtual tables. Over the last few weeks I’ve been playing Marvel Civil Wars, Star Wars: Boba Fett Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. Each of them are housed within the…
