Dad spends a day in the mancave: The Mechanic & Ong Bak 3

A day in the mancave is a curse and a blessing. On the positive side it can mean that dad has earned a truly lazy day to sit on the sofa, eat bacon and watch utter garbage without any guilt from camp estrogen. On the negative side it can mean that dad is sick and has to lie on the sofa while watching utter garbage and relying on help from camp estrogen.

Daddy Mojo at the Movies-Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

We stopped watching Pirates of the Caribbean after the second one. Me and my then future wife saw it in the theaters and it was OK, a little long and ended as a cliff hanger. Any movie that ends in a curt manner with a cliffhanger shall have a pox on their franchise in the Mojo house. That includes Back to the Future Part 2, as well as, the upcoming Harry Potter and Twilight. Continue reading Daddy Mojo at the Movies-Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

Dad spends a night in the man cave: The Revenge

Mom had a business trip to visit one of her clients. While dad certainly misses his bride for the night, he would also welcome some time in the man cave. This trip had been announced for a couple weeks and not so secretly, dad had been making a man cave short list of movies to watch. Mom tried to help by saying that dad could watch two movies in one night. However, in reality, the short list was actually a real list of short actors in movies he’d wanted to see.

The Tooth Fairy took my man card

The other night Mommy Mojo and I were relaxing at home. It had been an exhausting day and we decided to rent something from our shortlist queue of movies that aren’t too objectionable for either of us. The Tooth Fairy was on that list.

Dwayne “Can you smell what The Rock is Cookin” Johnson, plays an almost over the hill hockey player who is infamous for knocking out other player’s teeth. He’s dating a single mom (Ashley Judd) with two children, the younger of which is losing some teeth. Hockey player casts doubts on the tooth fairy, has to serve time being one-while occassionally playing hockey and being a daddy role model to the Judd’s older son.

Hilarity, romance ensue, cue the suprise casting by Seth MacFarline and Billy Crystal, fade out with a lesson learned for everybody involved. The Rock was good for what it was, as was, Ashley Judd-who was almost unrecognizeable, did she have plastic surgery or something? She didn’t need plastic surgery, if she had it as she was always super cute and fun to watch in any of her damsel in distress movies with Morgan Freeman. Bottom line, The Tooth Fairy was a semi enjoyable, Lifetime movie masquerading as a vechicle for The Rock that could’ve easily been shown on any number of cable networks.

There you go dads, I just saved you rental fee and ninety minutes. Having said that, this was my first time seeing such a movie now that I have a child.

So lets look at the movie from the perspective of a father Continue reading The Tooth Fairy took my man card
