TAR: Crazy Dancing

Amazing Race Let’s Name Our Chicken Phil One thing I wished with this show was that the teams would spend more time in one general area so there isn’t that much time spent in airports. The airport drama bores me since it hasn’t really changed since the first season....

TAR: Crying Over Spilled Milk

Amazing Race Please, Lord, Give Me Milk Lorena and Jason started off in first place when they found out they needed to fly over 3,000 miles to Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso in West Africa. There was the usual drama at the airport, but after so many seasons of that, there...

Night Watch

  Others are beings with supernatural powers and there has been a truce between the light and dark side until now. I read the book just before watching the movie. It is the first book in a trilogy. The book follows Anton as a worker in Night Watch, which...

Over the Hedge

It’s a goofy movie, but one to watch with kids that won’t make adults go insane. I didn’t read the comic strip enough to know how well it translated over. I did enjoy the completely spazzy squirrel, especially when he was given sugar for a secret mission. My other...

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Directed: David Yates Starring: Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson Harry is in his fifth year at Hogwarts, no one believes Harry’s story about Voldemort’s return. The Magic of Ministry isn’t helping things by trying to keep it all under wraps....
