Knives Out – A Movie Review
I saw this quite a while ago but never got around to reviewing it. However, now that I see it is available on demand, and because quite a few of us have a lot of extra time on our hands, I thought I’d share my thoughts. First of all, if you’re looking for a compelling…

Netflix’s Tiger King – A Few (Introductory) Thoughts
I’ve seen a LOT online about a documentary on Netflix called Tiger King. Even so, when I would notice the “poster” on Netflix, I always thought it looked ridiculous. It appeared as some sort of a mockumentary–I assumed it couldn’t be real. However, I listen to a radio program called The Dan LeBatard Show with…

The Mandalorian – A Few Thoughts
This is probably my favorite show of all time, so there is no excuse for just now writing about it months after it debuted. By the way, yes, I’m a Star Wars fanatic. And, no, I’m not capable of being objective when it comes to Star Wars. However, even with that being said, this is…

Let the Kids See You Read
Kids always take the lead from their parents (though they’ll never admit it). If you want your older kids reading at home, they need to see you reading books, too. Free time might be tough if you’re working remotely, but 20 minutes a day is plenty. Make it a regular reading date!

Netflix’s Dracula – A Few Thoughts
I watched this show on Netflix in early January when it debuted. It had two things going for it that definitely got my attention. First of all, it looked to be dealing with the real Dracula–Bram Stoker’s Dracula–my Dracula. Secondly, it was created and written by Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat, the talented creators behind…

Help Teens Stay In the Real World
Many of our teens are retreating into their phones during these difficult times. Make sure you pull them out of their rooms and talk with them. Get them off the screen for a while. Encourage them to call friends and family. Keep them in the “actual” world, not just the “virtual.”
