Daddy Mojo at the Movies: Mr. Poppers Penguins

Jim Carrey is Mr. Popper.  He’s a successful 30 something real estate developer in NYC who has a knack for acquiring impossible deals.  One aspect of his professional success and personal demeanor is driven by the fact that his father didn’t spend much time with him as a child. His father was exploring the world including the South Pole, from whence the penguins in the title come from. Continue reading Daddy Mojo at the Movies: Mr. Poppers Penguins

Daddy Mojo reads: Sgt. Rock, The Lost Battalion

As a kid I didn’t read St. Rock often.  A friend of mine had a big stash of war and western comics, like Weird War, Sgt. Rock and Jonah Hex; while I had Spiderman and Superman.  Mine were more mainstream and my friends’ comics had a historic feel like you were looking back at real events in time. Continue reading Daddy Mojo reads: Sgt. Rock, The Lost Battalion

Dad spends a (family) night in the Mancave: Field of Vision

Normally dad spends a night in the mancave by himself watching typical guy movies that the estrogen set find boring or juvenile.   However, on this occasion we were asked to preview Field of Vision.  Field of Vision is the latest entry into Family Movie Night on NBC.  It airs June 11 at 8:00 EST and is sponsored by Wal-Mart and P&G.

Dad spends a day in the mancave: The Mechanic & Ong Bak 3

A day in the mancave is a curse and a blessing.  On the positive side it can mean that dad has earned a truly lazy day to sit on the sofa, eat bacon and watch utter garbage without any guilt from camp estrogen.  On the negative side it can mean that dad is sick and has to lie on the sofa while watching utter garbage and relying on help from camp estrogen. Continue reading Dad spends a day in the mancave: The Mechanic & Ong Bak 3

Daddy Mojo at the Movies-Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

We stopped watching Pirates of the Caribbean after the second one.  Me and my then future wife saw it in the theaters and it was OK, a little long and ended as a cliff hanger.  Any movie that ends in a curt manner with a cliffhanger shall have a pox on their franchise in the Mojo house.  That includes Back to the Future Part 2, as well as, the upcoming Harry Potter and Twilight. Continue reading Daddy Mojo at the Movies-Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

Daddy Mojo reviews: BubCap for your iPhone or iPad

Ask anybody with a toddler and an iPhone or iPad and you’ll get the same response-“they won’t give it back”!  Our toddler is just 19 months old and loves, absolute loves our iPad.  The fact that he can control, learn and play with it makes his iPad time something he looks forward to.  Granted, he doesn’t know when iPad time is, as it usually occurs when he’s on the verge of a melt down or needs something to hold his attention. Continue reading Daddy Mojo reviews: BubCap for your iPhone or iPad

Dad spends a night in the man cave: The Revenge

Mom had a business trip to visit one of her clients.  While dad certainly misses his bride for the night, he would also welcome some time in the man cave.   This trip had been announced for a couple weeks and not so secretly, dad had been making a man cave short list of movies to watch.  Mom tried to help by saying that dad could watch two movies in one night.  However, in reality, the short list was actually a real list of short actors in movies he’d wanted to see.
