Blue Man Group is a global entertainment phenomenon, known for its award-winning theatrical productions, iconic characters, and multiple creative explorations. I've had the pleasure of attending a few performances at Chicago’s Briar Street Theatre. This most recently attended performance was the first time my oldest was able to join me.

I love scary movies. They have been a favorite of mine every Halloween for years. It isn't often that I run into a kid-friendly one that I loved as much at Goosebump 2: Haunted Halloween.

You might remember us going to Navy Pier as a family back in October to meet Super Mario. Mr. Dude has been wanting to play Super Mario Odyssey™ at our home ever since. Luckily, Mario must have remembered us because he sent us a Nintendo Switch - Gray Joy-Con for Christmas! We knew ahead of time, but it was a surprise to Wes.
I grew up on pasta. Many of my fondest memories as a child revolve around family, the dinner table, and pasta. It is easily one of my favorite foods.

We're huge Netflix fans around here. It's on at our house every week. When they announced 10 ways to countdown to 2017 I had to watch them all.
My wife and I signed up for a trial of Netflix during the winter storm that shut down most of Chicago for a couple of days back in 2011. We were snowed in, had plenty of food and wanted to try something new. Five years later we're still using Netflix to pass the time with or without snow on the ground.
The Toshiba Satellite Radius™ 12 started from a dead power off to login screen in between 5-7 seconds in my unscientific tests. I love this PC.
I only recently realised what a fan of Simon Pegg I really am. Four of the six of these movies I only found out that he'd done thanks to Netflix. I can't pick a favorite but really enjoyed watching all of them. This list is a mix of adventure, hilariousness, seriousness, soul searching and a bit of violence. Don't watch these with the kids around, but make sure to enjoy them.
