Knowledge is Power – Decades
Wish Studios has brought out another edition of their Knowledge is Power game that they introduced to the PlayLink family less than a year ago. If you’re not familiar with the series, it’s an obnoxious game show format, where players answer trivia via their phones from the comfort of their living room. It can have up to four people at a time playing, and it’s a different take on what is esse...[Read More]
Chimparty
NapNok’s Chimparty has made it to the PlayLink family and with it the first installment of a Mario Party-esque gaming experience. Is it as good as Mario Party? It’s tough to live in that shadow of greatness, but Chimparty does enough to create a quick party gaming experience that is fun for anyone with a phone. Without anymore monkeying around, let’s dig right into it. Tell me if you heard this on...[Read More]
Fraggle Rock: The Complete Series – 35th Anniversary Collector’s Edition
I’m a huge fan of Fraggle Rock. I’ve been a huge fan since its inception in the 80s when it premiered on HBO. It featured a lot of material that related to children that focused on insecurities, and generally made anyone who watched it feel good about being unique. It also provided a lot of laughs, which is what you want with polite preachiness. It’s the same type of theme that has been present in...[Read More]
The Boxcar Children: Surprise Island
While you may have read many of Gertrude Chandler Warner’s The Boxcar Children books as a child, you probably didn’t know that the first two adventures of the Alden children had been turned into movies. Both films received a limited release and relatively little marketing. The Boxcar Children (the first movie) came out in 2014, and the sequel, The Boxcar Children: Surprise Island, was released ear...[Read More]

Hocus Pocus – 25th Anniversary Edition

The movie runs 109 minutes and stars Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon, Mindy Kaling, Levi Miller, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Zack Galifian...[Read More]
Paddington 2
Okay. Honest truth here. I didn’t expect much from Paddington 2. It seemed like a potential cash-in on an adorable character that has survived the test of times. I wrongly assumed and expected something similar to the Marmaduke and Garfield movies with this film, where the antics were the driving force instead of the story. This is what I thought and I’m a bad reviewer for having thought these thi...[Read More]
Father Figures
Father Figures is a lackluster family comedy that delivers a stale and unoriginal plot filled with cheesy and unnecessary cameos. Father Figures stars Owen Wilson and Ed Harris as two twins who are set on finding who their real father is. The movie is unenjoyable due to the plot being unrealistic and contrived. Father Figures has a terrible way of doing cameos. In Father Figures, the inclusion of ...[Read More]
Ferdinand
Ferdinand is a loveable kids movie that deals with animal brutality issues in a honest morally-driven way. Based on a children’s book called “The Story of Ferdinand” written by Munro Leaf and illustrated by Robert Lawson, the book was banned by Adolf Hitler and Francisco Franco and loved by Ghandi and Eleanor Roosevelt. Ferdinand is about a bull who rather look at flowers than fight in the ring ag...[Read More]
Far Cry 5 Preview Impressions
What struck me in my first moments in the open Montana wilderness of Far Cry 5 was how at-home I felt. No, it wasn’t the occupation of Eden’s Gate throughout the world or the outlandish dialogue and action sequences you’d find it a Far Cry game. In fact, growing up in rural Kentucky, what stuck out most to me about Far Cry 5 is how truly realistic every aspect of the “mundane” country life is repr...[Read More]
