How to Train Your Dragon 2 is a perfect parent/child bonding experience

How to Train Your Dragon 2 is a perfect parent/child bonding experience

How to Train Your Dragon 2 is heartrending, heartwarming, and even more exciting than its predecessor is.  In a theatre full of excited children there were cheers, and tears and not one perceptible ounce of disappointment.  I’m not really sure if you can measure the disappointment of children in ounces, I’m not really sure why […]

Big Trouble in Little China #1: The Return of Jack Burton

Big Trouble in Little China #1: The Return of Jack Burton

I really enjoyed the first issue of this series. I’ve been a big fan of Big Trouble in Little China, since I was a kid. I’ve always dug Kurt Russel flicks because he’s comfortable in front of the camera, and makes it fun to watch, and the Jack Burton character is a laughable tough-guy. So, […]
