Dad spends a night in the mancave: Rise of the Planet of the Apes

I love my wife. Having said that, it’s good to watch a movie when she’s not around; no judgments- just me, beer, cats on the sofa and dogs by the fireplace. On this occasion I finally got around to watching Rise of the Planet of the Apes. Continue reading Dad spends a night in the mancave: Rise of the Planet of the Apes

Low hanging gift fruit for the wife: A canvas photograph

Sometimes when I have to buy a gift for my wife I look like a deer in headlights. Gift cards to Soma, Michael’s, DSW or Home Depot can only go so far. If you go to the gift card well once too often you spoil the water forever. Sometimes a husband needs to plan ahead and really think about a gift for his better half.

Cavemen in Babyland is a fine primer for dads and moms-to-be

Kindred Howard is a friend of mine. When he sent me his book, Cavemen in Babyland, he told me that guys don’t normally read parenting books and that it was kind of aimed at women. Granted, he was probably just taking that information from marketing companies or perhaps his publisher. Continue reading Cavemen in Babyland is a fine primer for dads and moms-to-be

Mission Impossible 4 in IMAX is large and in charge action fun

Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol is the 4^th entry in the franchise and easily the most entertaining out of all of them. The movie takes advantage of the picturesque scenery in Moscow, Dubai and Mumbai to all but require watching the film in IMAX. I saw the film in IMAX and the difference in the scenes shot in IMAX and those that weren’t are like comparing an LP to an MP3 file. Continue reading Mission Impossible 4 in IMAX is large and in charge action fun

Dad spends a night in the mancave: Captain America

Last year I momentarily got my boxers in a bunch because Captain America was not going to be filmed in the U.S. The irony of not filming a movie called Captain America not in his namesake could only be distracted by a pregnant wife, crawling baby and work. Thankfully all three of those things happened to make me realize I didn’t have time to think about where some movie would be filmed. Continue reading Dad spends a night in the mancave: Captain America
