Daddy Mojo reads: The End of Molasses Classes by Ron Clark

For people outside of Atlanta the name Ron Clark may solely be regulated to a television movie in 2006 that told the story of Clarks teaching experience in New York City. Ron Clark was Disney’s American Teacher of the Year in 2000 and has appeared on Oprah, CNN, The Today Show and others. In 2008 the Ron Clark Academy, a private school for students in grades 5-8, opened on the south side of Atlanta. In short, Ron Clark is the teacher that everybody wants to have for one reason or another. Continue reading Daddy Mojo reads: The End of Molasses Classes by Ron Clark

Dad spends a night in the mancave: Unknown

Sometimes an actor builds up such good will with their audience that they’re able to star in trite on wheels, but people will still see it and like it. Maybe they won’t ‘like it’, but they’re not going to go out and trash it, usually. Unknown tries to bank on this characteristic that exudes from Liam Neeson.

Dad spends a (family) night in the mancave: Who is Simon Miller?

Normally when Dad crawls into the mancave it’s by himself to watch something that may not be so family friendly.

To that end P&G has created Family Movie Night to showcase original, family friendly movies. Continue reading Dad spends a (family) night in the mancave: Who is Simon Miller?

Daddy Mojo at the movies: Cars 2

PIXAR has a high bar. No other movie company has such a consistently high bar to jump over for any of their releases. Cars was a good movie, but not a great movie, especially when looked at through the prism of what people expect from PIXAR. With this background established I saw Cars 2 with a key member of their demographic, a 4 year old boy and his father. Continue reading Daddy Mojo at the movies: Cars 2

Daddy Mojo at the Movies: Mr. Poppers Penguins

Jim Carrey is Mr. Popper. He’s a successful 30 something real estate developer in NYC who has a knack for acquiring impossible deals. One aspect of his professional success and personal demeanor is driven by the fact that his father didn’t spend much time with him as a child.

Dad wears a Land’s End Mesh Polo, giveaway and review

Prior to getting married I was a true slob. I cleaned my house with a leaf blower, only wore rock and roll concert t shirts, slept on a futon that was on the floor and took cold showers for months because I was too lazy to turn the hot water heater on.
