Pickled Wookiee

I got the chance to interview one of my favorite authors: John Flanagan, who wrote the series “Ranger’s Apprentice”. The series follows the story of an orphan boy (Will) who is enlisted in the mysterious force of “The Ranger’s”, the secret protectors of the kingdom.  (continue reading…)

This is the first full album I’ve ever bought on iTunes! Audrey truly has a wonderful voice and her songs are fun and catchy.  Her voice and style is very similar to to that of Colbie Caillat. Audrey’s songs are uplifting, and inspiring. Her brand new album is available to purchase at Amazon and iTunes. I would highly recommend buying it on Amazon, because with the purchase of the album, you are rewarded with $4.00′s worth of video on demand.

This 2010 remake of the Karate kid was surprising. Although it was different from the original, I found it enjoyable and more family friendly then the first. At first I was worried that Jaden Smith would act like an idiot and ruin the whole, but he actually did a pretty good job. I think the reason why its technically not “better” then the older one, is because the story was very ripped off, and had a lot of holes in it. The romance was way less believable and obnoxious, and some of the Kung Fu was played in rather long segments of slow motion.

On the good side though, it was a lot more family friendly then the original, it had its little laughs, and there were messages of respect, compassion and other good values thrown in. Go for the fun of it. It’s plot is a little holey, but its still a pretty fun movie. Parents Guide below. (continue reading…)

“Tangled” is Disney’s take on the favorite fairy tale “Rapunzel”. A story of a girl that has been locked up in a tower for years, but has yards and yards of beautiful hair. Although Disney has made several changes to the story (Rapunzel falls in love with an Outlaw, rather then a Prince) I think it could be a fun twist. The music makes it look kind of goofy, but the animation is really fun, and Rapunzel is beautiful. Watch it below: (continue reading…)

This movie surprised me.  It was actually pretty cute, and very inspiring. Although the ending brought some tears, it wrapped us pretty nicely, and I can still call it an enjoyable family movie. It was not only well filmed, it was squeaky clean. It’s hard to get both of those now a days.

Alice in Wonderland is an entertaining, exciting, and original tale with a darker tone. Although it isn’t a life changing, deeply moving film, I believe that Tim Burton has brought more meaning to the strange and weird story of Alice in Wonderland. It tips a hat to all of those who are or were called “crazy” at one point in our lives.

Funny Girl, starring Barbra Streisand is about a girl who rises to fame in New York. It follows her wish to preform on stage, and her crazy love life.  It is full of soaring songs, sung by the one and only Barbra Streisand. The Funny thing about this movie was that, over all, it wasn’t funny. When you sit down to watch a movie called “Funny Girl” you expect some good laughs; and sure, it had a couple little giggles here and there, but the wrap up of the movie was depressing. You watch a girl make a lot of bad choices, and have a pretty bad outcome from all of it. It’s realistic, and there’s a good moral to the story, but its nearly three hours wasted on a sad ending. The only things I can give it credit for? The music was amazing  and Barbra acted her role with feeling. You’ll also learn a good lesson when it comes to falling in love, and how cautious a girl should be. (continue reading…)
