Beast Machines: Transformers Complete Series Set
Beast Machines is a program that I enjoy but also dislike. I enjoy the show because it has some entertaining and well-crafted story arcs and pretty impressive CGI animation. I dislike the program because it is supposed to be a continuation of Beast Wars - a favorite show of …
Trapped - CBBC Childrens Game - Online
My son is now 6 and very familiar with my laptop, so it’s a great way for him to play some games online without the need for a console as we spend so much time outside anyway. He is also allowed to play on the computer at school sometimes …
Lipitor
Lipitor reduced my high cholesterol. I took it the same time, every day, with or without food. I took it without food and at night. Lipitor takes a long time to work but well worth the effort to lower your high cholesterol. If you don’t take care …

The price was all right. It was really …

When we were in Arlington, Texas for a week and we had to fill in our days and evenings. My brother and his family and my family decided that one night we were going to go midnight bowling. What a hoot. We my brother, sister in …
Disney World
Disney World is billed as a place where magic happens, and believe me if you have never been there then you will find out that this is not far from the truth. The “World” is a name for the layout of Disney because it is layed out in various …
WrestleMania XXIV
The SuperBowl of Sports Entertainment labeled as WRESTLEMANIA delivered what’s expected of it this year. This annual mecca of wrestling stayed true to its name by creating a frenzy and delivering one of the best shows ever seen on pay-per-view. Held at the Citrus Bowl, …
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad located in the Frontierland portion of the Magic Kingdom was the first roller coaster I ever went on as a child. The theme of the ride is that you trapped on a runaway mine car. While most roller coaster aficionados will think of …

Tower of London Ice Rink
Racking my brains for places to take my date, ice skating ranked top. I had been to one other ice rink in London-Queen’s Ice and Bowl-frankly not a romantic hotspot, more of a cheesy family ghetto.
Skating underneath the stars was more what I had in mind and Tower …
Nu Metro Cinema Movie Theater
I rarely go out to the movies and much rather prefer to rent out a DVD and watch it in the comfort of the confines of my couch, but I recently went out to the Nu Metro Movie Theater as I was dragged along by a bunch of close …
FYI Zone
When we first noticed the FYI Zone at the Heritage Mall in Beaver Dam WI, we thought it was going to be overly expensive for what it had to offer. But, our daughter really wanted to go there so we gave in and gave it a try.
We’ll be going …
Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights - Hollywood, CA
Before going to this event, I read amazing reviews about Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights. I heard that their mazes were so disgusting and just the best mazes in southern California. I had super high expectations for this event. In the end, it was good, but it didn’t meet …
Chewbacca Mini-Bust
I picked up this little item recently with a boxed set for the graphic novel Clone Wars Volume 1. The Chewbacca Mini-Bust is, well, a miniature bust featuring everyone’s favorite wookiee, Chewbacca. They do mean mini, it is only about 2 inches tall, or so. It …
2008 Swan City Car Show
Normally the annual Father’s Day Car Show at Swan Park in Beaver Dam is a great event to take your family to. However, I have to say this year’s show was a bit of a disappointment.
In past years, nearly every inch of the park would be occupied with classic …
2010 Race into Summer
This past weekend was Memorial Day Weekend. Unlike a lot of people, we don’t go anywhere special over the holiday. But, that doesn’t mean we didn’t manage to have some family fun this weekend.
Sunday was the annual Race into Summer event. My wife and I have been attending it …
Riparian Preserve of Natural Resources
I visited the Riparian Institute last week with my children and had a great time. At first I did not think the Institute would have that much to offer as it is a designated outdoor area that houses many different types of wildlife, mainly many types of birds. The …

City Club of Lafayette is a great establishment that offers a great reception center for weddings, anniversary parties, and any other major type of party. Recently, my family had a wedding here, and we were very pleased by the service and quality of the establishment. Though the …

Camp Hill, PA The Coliseum
I went to The Coliseum a few times after it had first opened and found that it hadn’t really attracted a whole lot of customers. The arcade section upstairs was only half full most of the times I went there the winter after it opened and downstairs where the …

Buffs Club Mount Isa
I would have to say that the “Buffs Club” was the best entertainment venue in Mount Isa, Queensland. I loved the gaming area that they had. It had a large selection of poker machines and hyperlink jackpot features such as trains and Harly Davidson feature. One time I one …

Billy Joel/Twyla Tharp’s “Movin’ Out”
I caught a national tour performance of the Billy Joel/Twyla Tharp show “Movin’ Out” - originally a Broadway production, this show’s national tour is pretty new.
This show is quite well done. I’m not sure why they call it a “new musical” because it isn’t a musical: it’s …
28 Days- Kid Indestructible / Live Performances
28 Days are one of my favourite Melbourne bands and well renowned to be from Frankston a suburb of Melbourne. They would at shows give Frankston a plug and the lead singer would even wear I love Frankston t-shirts.
I’m reviewing the rare 5 track Kid Indestructible CD and in …

Fat City Entertaint Mall
Fat City is marketed as a mall but when I went there I would that it was not actually a mall but a center in which you can keep yourself entertained. There is a full bowling lane, mini golf course, video game arcade and a party section for a …
Pearl Nightclub - Tucson, AZ
I have been to Pearl Nightclub several times since it has been called Pearl, and also when the club was under its previous name, The Key’s. I can’t say I notice much difference besides drinks costing more, and the crowd is even more pretentious. This, apparently, is what the …
MTV Music Video Awards
I can remember when I used to be interested in this programme that was aired by MTV when I was in high school. It was usually the talk of the day or morning when we all returned to school the next day. There would be talk of which artistes …

TNA stands for Total Non-stop action wrestling and the company has just hit brand new heights! I think the brand new TNA is awesome now that they brought Hulk Hogan, Flair, Mr. Anderson, Jeff Hardy and the Nasty boys into the wrestling organization. TNA needed a facelift in their …
Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium: Tacoma, Washington
This zoo is an extremely good zoo to visit, especially in the summer months. I volunteer at this zoo in the summer and they have exceptional educational opportunities for kids and adults alike. They have interpreters outside a lot of the exhibits, standing there to answer your questions, provide …

Gulf World Marine Park in Panama City Beach

All in the Family The Complete Fourth Season
In my opinion, the fourth season of “All in the Family” is when the show really hit its stride. What helps make this season so memorable as well as comical is the introduction of George Jefferson played by Sherman Hemsley, as well as Irene Lorenzo played by Betty Garrett …
Six Flags Great America (Chicago, Illinois)
Six Flags Great America is the largest amusement park in Chicagoland. Containing over fifty rollercoasters and rides, it is a great choice for a family outing, a party, or even just a day of thrills. Personally, I have been to Six Flags Great America at least five times, and …
Studio Fun Nazareth, PA
My daughter went to a party there and had a complete blast! It was great for kids who are a little older and they don’t feel like babies with animated characters walking around. It’s a lot more interesting than a video game place and she’s really proud of …

We showed up and the applause was deafening. I loved the fact the audience was excited, …
Chabot Space and Science Center
This is a nice place to go with your family. It is in the hills in Oakland, so the drive there was scenic and full of twists and turns. It ended up being a little difficult to find, but after asking a few hikers, we managed to find it, …
