Movie Rating
A bright, colourful, well animated film about Penguins who surf! The level of detail in the film is amazing from the lighting, fur and the water look so real. It's enjoyable enough for the kids and the bigger kids to. It has plenty of extras on DVD as well!

Movie Rating
A good typical early 90's action film. A group of terrorists take hostages at the local boarding school where the kids have some very important parents. It has some good action scenes and a well assembled cast. If you missed this before it's well worth a watch.

Movie Rating
A fun easy going, enjoyable Rom-com. The location set in Hawaii and one of it's Aquariums look great with some good animal tricks performed. Original idea for the story as well. A little predictable but it makes for a fun laid back watch. Cool music as well.

Well written
Unique Game Play
I loved this game. This game is well written and plays like a detective movie. The facial animation in this game, used to decide whether or not someone is lying, makes this game great fun and can change your outcome.

Book Favorite

"There is something George Saunders said in an interview that I re-read many times while writing my novel. It’s too long for here but basically: characters don’t have to be articulate to be full human beings. He does this so well and I plan on doing it well"

Well the kids like it
Usually these kinds of things really annoy me, but the kids like it well enough. The only downside is the ridiculously catchy tune about a thingamajigga and that doesn't sound good when singing loudly in public. Otherwise the programme is informative, colourful and fun

Book Rating
Looking for a series or a good children book that may help with stress or stress-related things? Well, this book takes a look at a way to help your child or children. I love the way you can use yoga to help with emotions and stress.

This one is done well. It fun and enjoyable. Your child or yourself can learn from Little mouse adventure in the park. Your child or children will learn some good life lessons as well. Parents and grandparents will enjoy the book as well.

The pictures are fun. They are also enjoyable to look at as well. I see the problem solving throughout this book. The lesson taught in the book helps children learn a skill in their real world as well. Grandparents and parents alike will enjoy having the teaching of yoga and life lesson that children learn at a young age.

We know children get excited or scared. This book teaches about breathing and how to calm the mind in a fun and learnable experience.
  
I was so happy to read Martin Shorts story. But his story was definitely not as happy as I assumed it was. Why are comedians always so troubled??

Not that this makes it a depressing read, it's extremely interesting, very funny at times, and I learned a lot about Martin and Hollywood as well!

So glad to still have great comedic minds like Mr. Short alive and well and making us laugh. A very interesting bio well worth the read.

Good and Bad
Overall not a terrible movie. I think it did one thing really well and one not so well. The look at loneliness in space and the journey of a man to find the father who left him. These are powerful emotions and feeling that I personally relate to and I'm sure there are many others that also relate to this. This is what Ad Astra does really well. However, the overall story is rather lacking in depth other than that.
