It's been a long time since I reviewed anything or posted any comments here. That is going to change. I'm trying to rearrange my time so that I can post her more often.

Movie Review – Toy Story 3

July 17th, 2010

Wow! This movie is great. This afternoon, I took my daughter to see Toy Story 3. I don't know exactly what my expecations were. Not really high and not really low.

Turns out then went with the documentary approach Read More...

Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck Vol 1 – Comic Review

April 25th, 2010

Scrooge McDuck has long been one of my favorite of the Disney Duck family. He's cantankerous, rude, and cheap. But he does have a heart and can be kind at times. Its pains him to be kind and thoughtful but it doesn't last. This volume spans 6 eras of Scrooges early life. It was originally written in the mid-nineties by Dan Rosa and it won him the Eisner Award, which is comic worlds equivalent to the Oscars Read More...
