TMNT: Out of the Shadows Blu-ray DVD giveaway

The turtles hit the streets again! Did you catch Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows when it was in theaters? We saw it and were pleasantly surprised by how entertaining it was for us-and how great the film is for kids. Yes, Out of the Shadows is rated PG-13, but it’s on the softer side of that rating.

The Blu-ray DVD for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Out of the Shadows has two discs. One features the DVD feature film. The other one has the Blu-ray version, deleted scenes, music videos, ILM-The Effects Beneath The Shell and a recap on some turtle eggs that you might have missed. It also comes with a Digital HD Ultraviolet copy that allows you to view the film anywhere.

This giveaway for Out of the Shadows is fun viewing for kids 9 and up. Its PG-13 rating is earned through some language that’s used in the first 30 minutes of the film. The action sequences are fun and will entertain kids in that age range. Our 7 year old would’ve been a little scared, but the average 8 year old will watch the film and have a hoot of a time. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Out of the Shadows is available on video September 20, 2016.

Mooncop, is smart, wry, droll humor from Tom Gauld

Glib and droll are fraternal adjectives in the same family that are worlds apart. Glib is not funny. Droll is a curious joke that usually takes its time and is as dry as the surface of the moon. Mooncop is droll. It’s a great example of how to describe ‘dry’ in reference to a joke or sense of humor. This is the latest from Tom Gauld, a fabulously witty cartoonist whose foot print is similar to Matt Groening’s Life In Hell, mixed with Gary Larson’s The Far Side and The Oatmeal.

Monty The Dinosaur, a happy, must-see all ages comic book

Sometimes things get missed. Monty The Dinosaur from Action Lab Entertainment is a comic book that was on our radar, but somehow we missed its release date. Well, it came out the other week and it is utterly fabulous. Monty The Dinosaur has the soul of a comic strip in the packaging of a comic book. It delivers laughs for younger kids and has the timeless appeal that older readers will immediately recall from their favorite newspaper comic strips.

Monty The Dinosaur is just that, a dinosaur living in modern times trying to fit in. He tries silly disguises like fake moustaches in his effort to blend into society so that he can make friends. Unfortunately for him he’s huge, sneezes and proceeds to scare people off when they realize he’s a dinosaur.

Dragon Con cosplay photos, part 2

Here’s our second general block of Dragon Con photos. You won’t see any Star Wars cosplay because there was so much that it’ll be in its own post. Yes, there was that much. These Dragon Con photos were taken during the parade, walking around the hotels, photo shoots or catching them on their downtime. The costumes from Netherworld stand out, they’re frightful and really play to the crowds.

A photo review of Dragon Con, part 1

Dragon Con happens in Atlanta every Labor Day Weekend. It is a ‘con’ in every fan based sense of the word and then some. After speaking with reporters who cover Cons like this across the country I learned that Dragon Con has the biggest and best reputation for its cosplay. Cosplay is a shortened and combined word for ‘costume’ and ‘play’. There is an example of every costume based level on display at Dragon Con, from the low tech folks who simply cut up a cardboard box to those that created movie caliber makeup, costume and performance to sell the look.

Here are some of our favorite photos that capture the spirit of Dragon Con, the families, attendees and fun to be had. Some of these photos were taken during the Dragon Con Parade while others were taken around the hotels.

Licensed PJ Masks backpacks and lunchboxes, for school and beyond

Hey-we’re a PJ Masks Ambassador and received payment or product for this post. When is a school backpack not a school backpack? When it turns into a bag. I never liked that Bazooka Joe joke, but, to be clear, that is our reiteration of the joke that reared its head this week. Our kids went absolutely mental when they received the PJ Masks backpack and lunchbox. Per our kids sharing rule mantra, they got to pick one thing that would be theirs.

Children’s music, kindie and Beat Bugs of note on Netflix

We’re were compensated for this post. All thoughts are our own. Our kids have loved music since birth. As parents we’ve also been aware of the content that is in that music. Sure there will be a time when radio with its suggestive, violent or misogynistic lyrics will be a part in their lives, but that time is a couple years away. There are some cool avenues for music that are appropriate for children on Netflix. One show of note is Beat Bugs, a series that is intended for younger children and features some Beatles’ cover songs.
