  • Transformers: The Last Knight Premiere and Review

    Last week the Fandads were invited to the U.S Premiere of Transformers: The Last Knight.

  • Wonder Woman review and giveaway.

    It is kind of crazy when you think about it, but Wonder Woman has not had a big screen appearance in all of her 75 years until Batman v Superman came out last year.  The movie itself was decent, but when the chords from the electric cello drops and she appears on screen you sat…

    As most children, my daughter goes through phases with her Disney movies. Most parents know this routine. One movie is played constantly on a loop until they find another movie to replace it.

  • Peppa Pig: Sun, Sea and Snow DVD review

    The one cool thing about cartoons is that they get recycled with your children. You spend countless hours watching one show with your child and when they grow out of it, you find yourself back watching the same how with your second child years later.

  • Long Way North Movie Review

    It’s always great when you watch a movie with your daughter that has a strong female character in it. In a world where we see more princesses becoming independent, it’s great when a movie comes along that shows a character finding her independence and gaining strength from it. In the movie LONG WAY NORTH, we…

  • Kubo and the Two Strings review

    From the nods to Ray Harryhausen and Akira Kurosawa, KUBO AND THE TWO STRINGS is an instant masterpiece that will please all who watch it. Now I know that sounds like a big claim to make, but this movie is a breath of fresh air.From the opening scene you can see all the hard work…

    So it is no surprise that DEADPOOL is coming to the theaters in a week. I mean if you have not seen the posters, commercials, or online videos then you obviously have not been paying attention and I would be on the look out that DEADPOOL doesn’t get you for not noticing his ads. Thanks…
