LEGO DC Super Heroes: The Flash

LEGO DC Super Heroes: The Flash is an entertaining family comic movie. I understood many of the jokes as a non-comic fan. There were several that went right over my head too. New and seasoned fans of LEGO and DC Comics will enjoy this new flick.

Aliens Ate My Homework (2018)

I'd never heard of the Bruce Coville's book series until this movie crossed my path. And I was only interested in seeing it because William Shatner voices one of the aliens. Now I'm glad I have been introduced to the Aliens Ate My Homework universe.

Disney / Pixar’s “Coco” (2017)

I was skeptical about the Trolls movie before I saw it the first time. I then fell in love with the whole idea (music and all) once I saw it. Dreamworks found a magic formula that worked with audiences around the globe. I think they've done it again with the new animated series on Netflix. Just take a look at the opening credits...

Learn How To Be Each of These Professions by Watching These TV Shows on Netflix

Disclosure: I’ve joined the Netflix #StreamTeam and have been compensated for writing this post. I was often told that I could do anything I wanted when I grew up. Then I found out college and its associated costs would make this endeavor more difficult than I had imagined. Netflix, fortunately, makes it easy to get […]

A Podcast About My Friends & Me

I’d wanted to start a podcast of my own for years, but never took steps to do it myself. Thanks to my phone, Adobe Audition, WordPress, and the Seriously Simple Podcasting plugin I started one.
