What My Kids Love Now

Not 'Twilight'.

House Rules

I watch my own movies.

When the Kids Are Asleep…

This would actually apply if I HAD kids.

My Biggest Challenge Is:

Titles You’ve Reviewed

  • DVD: Star Wars: Episode IV: A New Hope

    I rate this titleonand give it5.0

  • TV: Danny Phantom

    I rate this titleonand give it4.0

    The first two season are more intelligent...

    Original and entertaining (depending on the episode). I really like how the early DP episodes had Danny/Sam/Tucker THINKING THROUGH their problems (it's nice to see a normally intelligent character ...
