It’s a Miracle! The Appeal of The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

If you are like me and automatically reject 99 percent of what people recommend, you probably are already grimacing at the praise The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt has received. If you are like me, you probably didn’t even read the reviews, because you saw Netflix and Tina Fey and figured it would be edgy and a […]

The new Dreamworks animated film Megamind opened this past weekend, and encouraged by the delightfulness that was last year’s Monsters vs. Aliens, I decided to check it out. It turned out to be pretty enjoyable, sort of a Dr. Horrible’s Singalong Blog for the kid set. My review and a couple of mild spoilers below […]
