I tried to go to bed at a decent hour, but HBO was showing Autism: The Musical. I stayed up and watched.
A:TM is a wonderful and powerful show that follows six kids and their parents in The Miracle Project, a charity started by one of the parents to give kids an opportunity to participate in [...]
When Dutch legislator Geert Wilders announced he was going to publish a film about Islam, his Internet provider, Network Solutions, asked to see the film first. He said no, and they denied it access. The movie was copied to www.liveleak.com and hosted from there. Liveleak has since shut it down, having been threatened [...]
In celebrating our anniversary, we saw National Treasure: Book of Secrets.
Secrets suffers a little bit from being a sequel, but it’s still entertaining. An ancestor of Benjamin Franklin Gates (Nicholas Cage’s character) has been besmirched, accused of masterminding Lincoln’s assassination.

Someone found three videos that I remember watching long before I understood them. I may have to try and find these on DVD for the kids.
Check out these 7-minute shorts at [...]
I enjoyed The Sixth Sense more, but Lady in the Water is a beautiful, awesome movie.
It is a clear exposition on discovering what you can do and using those abilities to help other people, rather than letting someone else tell you what to do. Some critics have complained that the viewer is beaten over the [...]
Some lighter fare today with the kids and some extended family. We went to see Over the Hedge, a cute Dreamworks CG movie about a racoon and a group of foragers who go exploring into a neighborhood that sprang up around them over the winter.
Kids will like the cute characters and some burp humor (the [...]
