Daddy Mojo reads: Finding Uri by Sandy Munro

Finding Uri is the true story of a father and son who never knew each other. Uri was a WWII pilot, shot down in action, leaving behind a wife and their three year old son, Sandy. A year after his mother’s death, Sandy receives a box that contained hundreds of letters that his mother and father had written to each other.

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.

Dad plays with WWE Defining Moments Mattel Figures-Giveaway!

Growing up I was very much into the WWF. I’m old enough to grow up when it was still the WWF and not the WWE. Now I would never confuse one of the highest spectacles of sports entertainment with an animal wildlife organization. As a mature fan of the WWE I can still embrace the sport and remember the entertainers that paved the way for the young stars today.

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

Jim Carrey is Mr. Popper. He’s a successful 30 something real estate developer in NYC who has a knack for acquiring impossible deals.

His father was exploring the world including the South Pole, from whence the penguins in the title come from. Continue reading Daddy Mojo at the Movies: Mr. Poppers Penguins
