The Christmasaurus was wonderful book mixing the children's magic of christmas with dinosaurs, two things kids love. This, the second book in the series doesn't let the magic go, if anything this is a better story. Tom Fletcher manages to weave a complicated story about magic and time travel and yet still make it suitable for children and the illustrations make it even more gorgeous. This series has the potential to be made into a movie and become some of the best love Christmas characters in the world. My daughter loved this book, so did i. She is 8 and I am 40.

Just remember 143

This documentary is about a man i watched all the time when i was a child. I have learned many life lessons from him. I have showed my own children some of his shows. I this reminds me you have to talk to kids as a kid. If you grew up watching him or have kids watch it and learn why he was a great teacher. I found it very moving documentary.

And when you watch it you will learn why the header to this is 143.
Now if you know song sing it with me
A beautiful day for a neighbor
Could you be mine?
Would you be mine?

It's funny (2 more)

It's one of a kind

It has some seriously catchy music

Not enough people have seen this!

Not many people I know have seen this so I tell everyone to give it a go.
A kids film, completely off the radar, as it's not branded (not pixar or disney etc) it's a German, Danish and Irish creation, about 3 children that take get into all sorts of problems. It bombed at the box office but it definitely didn't deserve the bad press, it's about family, loyalty, the importance of intelligence and a hint of magic.
It has funny, scary (for young kids anyway) , tense, lovable scenes that everyone can enjoy.

A good backstory

Although not officially Moore-approved, this six-issue collection gives a glimpse of the glitz and glamour of the original group of superheroes, before Watchmen. We get a short introduction to the members of the crew (most of which have their own volumes in the "Before Watchmen" series), and how they came about and interacted. Some amusing fails from their early attempts to foil justice (remember these aren't superheroes, these are guys who donned a costume and went looking for trouble), leading up to a case involving the kidnapping and murder of children.
I'm not a huge fan of the artwork here, being quite cartoony, but it seems to fit the era OK.

I don't think this movie was as terrible as most of the reviews said it was. It's a kids' movie, about a sibling relationship, and basically, playing with a lot of the Playmobil sets together, as kids do. It was corny and dorky at times, but that's what made it fun. The "acting" was over the top at times, but it was how kids play with the characters. It definitely was silly, but I don't think it was awful. I laughed quite a bit. You just have to accept the play world of children when you watch it. It wasn't the best movie that I've seen, but it was still fun to watch.

Twisted Fairy Tale

Gretel & Hansel - is a decent movie, it has good scaries, good suspense, good thrills, good psychological espects and thats pretty much it. I mean the story is decent, but it could of been better.

The plot: When their mother descends into madness, siblings Gretel and Hansel must fend for themselves in the dark and unforgiving woods. Hungry and scared, they fortuitously stumble upon a bounty of food left outside an isolated home. Invited inside by the seemingly friendly owner, the children soon suspect that her generous but mysterious behaviour is part of a sinister plan to do them harm.

Sophia Liillis was good, the source matteral was decent. I just wish this movie was better.
