Movie Review – Ron’s Gone Wrong
—
Ron’s Gone Wrong was a cute little film. It had a great moral to the story, which every child that has their own phone can certainly relate to. Social media has done wonders for communication but on the flip side, it’s so much easier now to bully. It happens every day and kids need to…

Children’s Book Review – Bunnicula
I’ve been doing a little light yoga reading routine each morning. I put my legs in the air for 10 minutes, before I even get out of bed, to take me from sleepy to wakey in a gentler fashion. Hey, it’s Doctor Approved! I decided to take this daily time to read through some kiddie…

Movie Review – The Croods 2
This is definitely a young kids movie. There’s lots of super saturated bright colors and silly cartoon antics that the characters almost constantly go through. In that light most young kids will probably like it. However, I wonder if they’ll like it anymore than just watching any old cartoon movie again for the 12th time…

Indie Movie Review – Emily and the Magical Journey
I have to admit to feeling a bit like Groucho Marx over this film… “Why, a four-year-old child could understand this report. Run out and find me a four-year-old child. I can’t make head nor tail out of it.” It’s a family film aimed at feisty, imaginative young girls, and I am far from being…

Everything is Awesome – Video and Lyrics to The Lego Movie Theme Song
Last Thursday, while I waited in my theater for “The Dog Movie” to start, I was thrilled to catch two cool trailers: one for a fresh new Men In Black sequel (with Chris Hemsworth!), and the newest Lego film, called, appropriately enough, The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part. It also reminded me of that…

The Weirdest Moments in Classic Christmas Specials
Old Christmas TV specials can be downright bizarre. I grew up watching the animated cartoons like Frosty the Snowman and The Grinch, and eagerly lapped up the clay stop-motions like Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer, and The Year Without a Santa Claus. Joyous holiday fun, right? Yes. And no. They’re enjoyable shorts, but as an adult I’m…

In Defense of the Grinch (1966)
—
To start with, the Grinch doesn’t seem all that bad. He doesn’t like a lot of dissonant noise. That’s hardly a crime. I don’t know why he seems to hate Roast Beast, but maybe he’s on a diet. And he’s never directly mean to anyone. Look how sweet he was to Cindy Lou Who. He…

Movie Rewatch Review — Dr. Seuss’ How The Grinch Stole Christmas (1966)
I don’t know if you can technically call a 26-minute television Christmas Special a movie, but let’s go with it, since it’s almost Christmas, and I owe the nice people who like sappy holiday shows a kind-hearted review. Filmed in 1966 and based off the classic 1957 children’s tale by the beloved Dr. Seuss (who…

Quiz – Mary Poppins
These questions are taken from the 1964 Disney movie of Mary Poppins. I’ve made this quiz fairly easy, keeping in mind that the movie is over a half a century old. Best of luck![quiz-cat id=”11982″] With The Return of Mary Poppins this Christmas, expectations are high — Emily Blunt will probably rock the role. We…
