In our zeal to review The Pout Pout Fish Goes to School we neglected to put up the giveaway. If you didn’t read the review, the book is great. It’s a nice bedtime book that has lots of rhyming, short sentences and a simple, positive lesson for children to learn.

The amount of British programming that our children watch almost qualifies us for dual citizenship. The latest cannon to enter our fray is Peppa Pig. It’s huge in the UK as it’s been the number #1 pre-school property for the past four years and is utterly charming, for certain demographics.

Well surprise surprise, I liked Guardians of the Galaxy. OK, that may not be entirely unexpected. What will be surprising to those that watch it is how much they enjoy watching it too. Guardians of the Galaxy is a Marvel movie, but it feels like a sci-fi/action movie. It’s easily the best movie that Marvel has done. The film is more fun than The Avengers and is the only one from Marvel that I’ve immediately wanted to see again.

Smithsonian Channel Aerial America: Southwest Collection takes five of the programs that aired on the Smithsonian Channel and puts them on Blu-ray. Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Colorado are featured in this DVD. It is presented in full widescreen with an aspect ratio of 16 x 9 and 5.1 digital surround sound. I’m no audiophile, but all that adds up to a gorgeous picture and immersive sound.

Planes is the kind of direct to DVD workhorse that most studios would love to have. In this case, as in the first Planes, it goes to theaters for a week or two and will be out on DVD in two months. It’s not a slam to say direct to DVD. However, it’s not at the same Frozen level of quality that families expect from the brand. Disney will make about 200 million in theaters and push it out on DVD. With all this in mind, Planes: Fire and Rescue is better than the first movie and has some genuine laughs in it.
