Friendship has the power to change the world. I’m a firm believer that many of our world’s problems could be solved if we just treated each other as friends. I generally prefer documentaries over fiction but when I was offered the chance to review Alfred Uhry’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play Driving Miss Daisy, I couldn’t resist. […]
What happens when you combine two slackers, an intergalactic warrior, and a Timenado? You’ll have to watch Regular Show: The Movie to find out. Cartoon Network’s Regular Show: The Movie, the first full-length feature from the Emmy Award-winning series, will debut on DVD in the US on October 13, prior to its network premiere this […]
I have always wanted to see the seven wonders of Brazil. Brazil is a country that has always fascinated me because it is so rich in history and culture. Brazil is a mix of Portuguese, African, indigenous Indian, and southern European influences. Since it’s doubtful I’ll get to visit the Seven Wonders of Brazil, this […]
I love TV and I spend a fair amount of time unwinding at the end of the day in front of my favorite television programs. I’m one of those people that loses themselves entirely in a program. I jump when I’m startled. I cry when I’m sad. I picture myself in the program. The Showrunners […]

If you remember, a few months ago, I posted about a book I enjoyed by Ted Dekker called A.D. 30. I was very excited what I was asked to review the next book A.D. 33 A Novel. I enjoyed the way that Ted Dekker wove a story in A.D. 30 so I knew A.D. 33 […]
Video games are a big part of my life. When I was a child, my father worked in the computer section of AT&T. I remember him bringing home the very earliest “computer game” and spending hours playing it. My husband is a huge World of Warcraft and Everquest fan. Both kids are avid gamers. In […]
The civil rights movement is still very much alive today. I was born in the sixties and I didn’t really know much about the civil rights movement except for what was taught in schools. I’ve never seen a sit-in or a march or a demonstration. It’s more important to me what type of person you […]
