It’s a long, hot summer. Are you running out of things to do? How about homemade taffy? This is a super fun (safe-at-home) party activity, or just a nice change from baking bread. Making taffy is featured as a fun birthday theme in The Secret Dare to Dream. Instead of a fancy party with food […]
The Secret Dare to Dream review
The Secret: Dare to Dream seems to present itself as an inspirational film, but it doesn’t try very hard to inspire. Yet the minimal effort the filmmakers put into character and plot development are the least of its problems. We are at an important historical crossroads for moms and people of color. We are experiencing […]

Put on your crazy, colorful hair and get ready to smile. I recently had the pleasure of interviewing two starring voices of Trolls World Tour: Flula Borg, comedian, Youtube star, and DJ extraordinaire, and Ron Funches, actor, comedian, and game show host.

Hey there, everyone! I’ve missed you! I trust you’re all doing well. It’s true we have something of a problem in our world at the moment, but there are always problems, and we’ve (mostly) come through safely. Not to belittle anything anyone’s going through, but here’s something that’s helped me a lot in stressful times: […]
Sonic the Hedgehog movie review: Sonic’s perfect comeback, with Jim Carrey as the evil villain
Something works about the Sonic the Hedgehog movie for the five and under set. My son now only lets me call him Sonic. The “blue character,” as he calls Sonic, resonated with him. Kids can relate to Sonic because he’s small in stature, so he’s often underestimated. And he’s also got a secret super power—he’s […]
What to watch for families: The Healing Powers of Dude and Just Add Magic Mystery City
When you’re in middle school, making friends can be the biggest challenge you face. Many grownups look back at those years between sixth and eighth grade with a cringe. They are quite often the worst years of our young lives. I speak from experience. Those years were rough, but I’m glad I stayed weird. Middle […]
The Case For A Female James Bond
Oh hell, no. Ladies, let’s stop clamoring for a female James Bond. It’s not worth it. Sure, Bond is entrenched in our psyche as the epitome of hotness and kickass-edness. Lately, we’ve called for studios to allow women to be cast in iconic roles. Star Wars, Star Trek and Dr. Who have answered. But we’re […]
