To Mars

Music, dance, and an imagination that transforms their backyard into Mars, an ode to artsy martial arts movies, and a mad scien-tist's castle. Very engaging even to our five-year old professional movie watcher.

What I sing to my kids. Both heard "Yesterday" from before birth. It made them laugh and, more importantly, sleep.

I read this book in less than a day as a kid, and its Carnival left me breathless, so I read it again. And again. It is still my favorite book of all time.

Marketing gone amok. The Corporations have taken over, and a little death might be just the thing to market the latest in sneakerware. Reads like you're watching a fast-paced movie.

Yes, Casino Royale was wonderful, but Bond has nothing on this BBC MI-5 series. Your jaw will drop. Hey, you can't kill off a main character, can you? Damn, now I have to buy the next one to find out!




Fountains of Wayne

You probably heard "Stacy's Mom" and "That Thing You Do" (from the movie). Fountains of Wayne have actually been around awhile, and I haven't been disappointed yet. The sleazy anchor hitting on his co-worker with the line "oooh, we belong together/like traffic and weather" is a classic!

I am a sucker for Breakout-clones, and this is one of the better ones I've played. The game play itself is relatively easy, but the variety of creative powerups and surprises keep this one fresh.
