Moms and dads need entertainment and these posts, for one reason or another will do just that
Families want, and sometimes need entertainment. It’s obviously best if said entertainment is OK for everyone in the family. It’s in that spirit that Hatched is available on DVD. Hatched is a film that will most likely rocket to the bottom of your DVD stack. Unless you’re 6 years old and this is the second movie you’ve see it’s most likely the worst animated film that you’ve seen.

Imagine a snack party tray that has chocolate, bacon, vegetables, fruit, as well as, exotic new bites that you haven’t tried before. The second kindie version of this catch-all audio cornucopia is out with a ‘love’ twist. Heart Beats: Feel Good Songs for Families from Mighty Mo Productions takes 12 songs from kindie music artists for a near perfect sampling of music that’s great for all ages.

We were compensated for this post. All thoughts are our own and these shows really do rock. Relaxation is a prime commodity. There are some weeks where my wife and I don’t get any down time. More often than not we have to schedule the relaxation period. “44 minutes of relaxation?” is our query. I have my shows, she has her shows and we have our shows that we’ll watch on Netflix. It depends on who is able to relax. If I’m solo then it’s Luther, Continuum or other. She’s down with Gilmore Girls (shocker!) and together we really enjoy Person of Interest. There are a couple other shows thought that might just fly below your radar that are worth checking out on Netflix.

On the surface there isn’t much going for Norm of the North. Its theatrical release date is the middle of January, the traditional dumping ground for sub-par family films. The film was originally supposed to go straight to video and the plot goes over grounds that are fodder for animated films. I was prepared to hate it. At the end I was both surprised at the fact that I didn’t hate it and that my wife liked it and the kids loved it.

Raffi is not Zamfir. Before becoming a parent I confused the two. Having been a dad for several years now we know Raffi, still don’t know the master of the pan flute-but there’s still time for that. Both individuals have a specific niche that they cater to with a steadfast focus that makes Navy SEALS envious. For kids 7 and under there’s reason to gently celebrate, in a peaceful and mild mannered way, because the new CD from Raffi, Owl Singalong is available for young listeners.

Disney Playmation sounds like-and to an extent looks like, a toy that you’ve seen before. It comes in a big box that you’ll find in the video game isle. The box is big enough to look like it’s a separate console system, but Disney Playmation is a technology based game that encourages kids to stand up, play, use their imaginations, get excited and even get outside. It’s unlike anything you’ve seen before and if kids get the hang of it then it could revolutionize the way they ‘play’ with technology.

Peter Sellers is most famous for playing a simple, some would say dimwitted person. He was also able to work on the adult level by skewing pop culture in Doctor Strange Love and Being There. Dr. Suess wrote and drew on a very simple level that was aimed at children. Suess also has some fabulous art during WWII that worked on a more political, adult level. Both of these artists crossed my mind while reading Chocolate: The Consuming Passion by Sandra Boynton.

It’s mid January and you need a good family for the kids to go see. Those cold, winter days sometimes just yell for the comfort of a warm movie theater to quell the busy of kids, we get it. Norm Of The North is it. Our hopes are high for the film because it has Bill Nighy, Rob Schneider, James Corden and Ken Jeong, among others. The cast for Norm is deep and includes many other people, but those four actors have a good track record for being in things that we consistently enjoy.
