Dang. 9 years old. It’s been a year for you. 3rd grade. And while that went well it was all that other stuff you started doing. Irish dance for instance. Then there was gymnastics which you kept with and not only that but you advanced to the next level of competition. And Girl Scouts. Sheesh….
Motel Hell is a B movie and everybody involved knows it. It takes 18 minutes before any blood is shown, and even then it is done in a way that intentionally elicits laughter. Actually there are a lot of moments that are played up for comedic effect. One could almost think this was a comedy…
August and Dela came home yesterday well after lunch time and they were hungry. I pulled out the bread to make sandwiches and Dela said “No sandwich for me.” I opened the cabinet and pulled out the Nutella. “Okay! Sandwich please!” “You already said you didn’t want a sandwich.” She stared at me dead in…
Without Warning a low budget science fiction horror film. It looks like a made for cable film (those don’t look like theatrical credits). There’s something about the film though, maybe it’s that it is so low budget that it isn’t constrained to “normal” filmmaking and storytelling conventions and it just tells its story without getting…

Where the…
This is a bit of a long post. You can skip to the last three paragraphs if you want to get to the point of the whole thing. I think I’ve seen The Mighty Mighty Bosstones 8 times. The more I see the band and listen to their music the more they become one of my…
“Sofia The First” is a bit of a surprise in my house. The Disney princess genre has gotten a nice twist with this series aimed at young kids, but has appeal much greater than you might think. While he might be embarrassed to admit it to his classmates, my 11 year old son enjoys watching…
Muppets: Most Wanted, as a film, lived up to expectations, but as a Blu-ray release it fell short. Picking up right after The Muppets ended we see the gang getting ready for a sequel and bandying about ideas. Enter Ricky Gervais as Dominc Badguy (pronounced “Ba-jee” because it’s French). He offers to help the gang…
