Napping Or Not
At 21 months he is not really needing both morning and afternoon naps. Depending on when he wakes in the morning, either the morning or the afternoon nap has been good, with the other being … well, a challenge. One day last week I put Xavier down for his morning nap. I turn on the monitor and hear him playing. This goes on for about a half hour, which is normal. Then it gets quiet. I ...Expanding Lime’s Alpha

Hazel, for those of you who didn't know, was a very popular sitcom during the early to mid sixties that was based on a character from Saturday Evening Post comics. The show focuses on Hazel (played by Shirley Booth), the live-in maid for the Baxter family who acts as the sensible hub of this squeaky clean 1960's family. Without her you get the idea that the family would descend into drinking, bloodshed and ...
Nathan Fillion JLA Q&A
Nathan Fillion continues to look good in green.
The star of ABC Television Network’s hit series Castle, and fanboy/fangirl idol for his role in Joss Whedon’s Firefly, Fillion returns to the super hero fold to voice Green Lantern/Hal Jordan for JUSTICE LEAGUE: DOOM, the next entry in the popular, ongoing series of DC Universe Animated Original PG-13 Movies. The film is available everywhere today – Tuesday, February 28.
Fillion returns to the DC Universe after two successful ...
Tales Of The Abyss
Tales Of The Abyss is a port of the PS2 role playing game on the Nintendo 3DS. Not having played the original, and only having a working knowledge of the franchise, I knew what I was in for, but it wasn’t like I was playing the game again, or revisiting a familiar friend. Still, it’s a good RPG on a system that doesn’t have the genre well represented as of yet.
As with most Japanese role-playing ...
Justice League: Doom
The latest DC animated movie, Justice League: Doom, takes its inspiration from a story run in the JLA comic about 10 years ago. Instead of Batman’s enemy Ra’s al Ghul as the mastermind behind the coordinated attack against the Justice League, it is Vandal Savage, an immortal man who possesses great intelligence – and a massive stockpile of wealth. He is using a number of villains to do some deeds, the ultimate goal of which ...
Mandrill
When you think of cinema from South America, invariably the first country one might think of is Argentina because of its significant and numerous contributions to world cinema. Perhaps Brazil, because of its size, and the fact that it too does have a decent film culture. Other countries too have been producing films, though not nearly as prolifically or with much technical savvy.
Mandrill is by the Chilean writer/director Ernesto Diaz Espinoza, and other than a ...

Rosenbaum brought his own playful, gregarious, sometimes sarcastic personality to Flash for the Justice League and Justice League Unlimited animated television series, setting the standard as the voice behind the “fastest man alive.” Rosenbaum ...
Puss In Boots
One of the best additions to the whole of the Shrek storyline after the first film was the character portrayed by Antonio Banderas now with his own starring feature. Puss In Boots acts as a prequel to the character’s appearance in Shrek 2.
After watching Puss In Boots, I can understand why it was nominated for Best Animated Feature at this year’s Academy Awards. It’s a good film with solid characters, a decent plot, and the ...
The Double
The Double, on the surface, is a story about a CIA retiree (Richard Gere) coming back to catch a Russian agent, Cassius, that eluded him before. He is partnered against his will with an up and coming FBI agent (Topher Grace) who has based his career on Cassius. The movie follows the two as they get closer and closer to the truth. Left at that, The Double would have been a much better ...
Sinners And Saints
Sinners and Saints takes the idea that guns make even the weakest story better and runs with it. Like the wind! It stars Johnny Strong (Black Hawk Down, The Fast and the Furious) as a war vet turned detective Sean Riley working to clean the post-Katrina mess of New Orleans. Between gun battles and coming upon the scenes of brutal murders he learns the meaning of friendship and facing the past thanks ...
Nickelodeon Favorites: Dance To The Music
Another season, another Nick Jr. collection. This time, we get Dance To The Music, and the most obvious two shows are missing – “Yo Gabba Gabba” and “The Fresh Beat Band” (maybe they are simply too popular now).
Here’s what is included:
“Dora The Explorer”
La Maestra de Musica
“Team Umizoomi”
Butterfly Dance
“Bubble Guppies”
We Totally Rock
“Go Diego Go”
The Iguana Sing Along
“Wonder Pets”
Save The Beetles/Save The Fiddler Crab On The Roof
“Ni Hao Kai-Lan”
The Ants Dance

Phantom Of The Opera 25th Anniversary Celebration At The Royal Albert Hall
I wouldn’t say I’m a fan of Andrew Lloyd Webber, but I also wouldn’t dismiss his works outright either. I’ve seen Cats on the stage and enjoyed it. Watched the filmed version of Evita (willingly) in theaters. Productions of Joseph And The Technicolor Dreamcoat and Jesus Christ Superstar are now standards of musical theater. What I think gets lost in all of the talk about these productions was Webber produced the music, not the lyrics ...
Dream House
When the studio puts the plot of the movie, including some pretty big spoilers, into the trailer, you know that you should save yourself a few dollars. Dream House's trailer tries to sell it as a horror movie, but that doesn't seem to be what I just watched. Instead it feels like one of those generic thrillers that fill HBO's lineup.
Director Jim Sheridan apparently clashed with the production company, and even went so far as ...
Underdog: Complete Collector’s Edition
Some days just suck. No matter what you’re doing, noting seems to go right. I was having one of those days when the DVD set for “Underdog” arrived, and my day turned completely around. I grew up watching “Underdog” – not when it was first broadcast, but instead as a syndicated Saturday morning offering, back when local stations would pick up other cartoons to pad out their weekly animation block.
“Underdog” takes me back to my ...
