TV Review: Sleepy Hollow

I have a new paranormal fantasy show!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 I saw the previews for this show last summer, but I hesitated to watch it for two reasons. First, and most importantly, it’s on FOX. They like to cancel things. In fact, I only decided to watch the show this weekend, after learning that […]

Movie Review: Frozen

I have been anxiously waiting to see Frozen for at least three months, but as I have trouble getting to the theater, I was forced to wait for the DVD. I saw glowing reviews, my five-year-old’s friends at school couldn’t stop talking about it, the whole family was psyched. This weekend, it was even available […]

Book Review: Eternal Rider

In this book we branch away from the Demonica books into the stories of the four horsemen of the apocalypse. They’re not evil really, not unless their seals are broken. Unfortunately, Pestilence’s has. Now his brothers and sister need to stop him from destroying the world. This is the story of Aries, whose seal ends […]

TV Series Review: How I Met Your Mother

There are plenty of shows about single, usually career-driven 20-somethings fumbling through relationships, but between the setup and the chemistry of the group, […]

Movie Review: The Croods

This movie is available for streaming through Netflix. This could have been a cute movie, but it wasn’t. Frankly, it was just too bizarre and often for no good reason. The whole thing was a bit of a farce, but not particularly funny. I also found the moral of the story to be heavy-handed to […]

A Chocolate Tour of Kansas City

I’m a chocolate snob, which isn’t an easy thing to be at a grocery or department store. Top end on a store shelf will be Lindt, Godiva, or Ghirardelli (which is better for baking). For the chocolate snob on a budget these are good, solid, everyday choices. But one wonders if, perhaps, for a special […]

Movie Review: Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters

In a word: Awful. In a few worlds: Really truly actively bad from beginning to end. But my kids (5 and 8) really liked it. I guess because there was a lot of action, the good guys won, and there was no ambiguity. I reviewed the first Percy Jackson movie last week. This week, I […]
