Droll is such an odd word to use in review. Droll means funny, just in an odd or unusual way and that’s very appropriate for The Big Bad Wolf Goes on Vacation. This is not a laugh out loud funny book, but it brings a smile to your face when you think about the concept, doesn’t it? Continue reading The Big Bad Wolf Goes on Vacation is droll, imaginative fun for kids

Fast and Furious is the brother from another mother of The Expendables. In a number of years we’ll be saying ‘really, there are 5 Expendable movies now’? By then Fast and Furious will be on their 10th movie, will make hundreds of millions of dollars and be a guilty movie experience that people will semi enjoy.

So now that you and your kiddo have seen Iron Man 3 they may be talking about which toys they want. The folks over at Hasbro sent us a couple of the new Iron Man 3 toys to play with and wreck havoc on lesser toys in casa de Mojo.

Dad Spends a Night in the Mancave: Sherlock is top notch
I love my Roku. We disconnected cable many months ago, purchased one and live off NetFlix, the occasional Hulu and sometimes live TV. The benefit of this is that we’ve discovered dozens of new shows. I finally get Doctor Who now, which in turn led me to Torchwood (even better) and the new Star Trek movie led me to Sherlock. Continue reading Dad Spends a Night in the Mancave: Sherlock is top notch

Star Trek: Into Darkness-strong villain+classic cast=great
How to review a Star Trek movie, there are many ways, do I explore the mythos of the franchise and how the reboot treats the characters in their second outing? I could just look at Into Darkness as if it existed in a vacuum and ignore the history. It’s kind of like Christmas songs. Just because someone records a Christmas song doesn’t mean it’ll be great, even if I love Christmas. Continue reading Star Trek: Into Darkness-strong villain+classic cast=great

Book review: The Spark, A mother’s story of Nurturing Genius
This is a book that I accidentally read. How does one ‘accidentally’ read a book? You scan over the title, read the synopsis, pick out words that you’re interested in and ignore the rest. In my case I read “mom-nurturing-genius”. Well I want my child to be as smart as he can possible be, this is a book I must read. In reality, and thankfully, The Spark is not the book I thought it was; it’s much better, uplifting, inspirational and all but mandatory for parents of autistic children.
