MY THOUGHTS

Thunder and the House of Magic is a fantastic movie for the entire family . 

I highly recommend this. 

I give this movie 5 out of 5

My Little Pony Rainbow Rocks Giveaway (Ontario ONLY)



My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks finds Canterlot High (CHS) hosting a musical showcase, and Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Fluttershy are going to be performing with their new band, The Rainbooms. But when The Dazzlings, a new girl group, arrive at CHS and convince everyone to turn the friendly showcase into a Battle of the Bands, tensions mount between the competing musical acts. A now-reformed Sunset Shimmer realizes that the Dazzlings may not be ordinary girls and are after something far more sinister than just being named Best Band at Canterlot High. The Rainbooms call on Princess Twilight to restore harmony to their world to help them perform a musical counter-spell so that they can win a battle that now determines the fate of the entire school!

CELEBRATE HALLOWEEN WITH ONE OF THE FUNNIEST FILMS OF ALL TIME

The scariest comedy of all time gets resurrected as Young Frankenstein: 40th Anniversary arrives on Blu-ray September 9 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. Comedy icons Gene Wilder, Peter Boyle, Cloris Leachman, Marty Feldman, Teri Garr and Madeline Kahn star in Mel Brooks’ brilliantly outrageous riff on Mary Shelley’s classic story of Frankenstein. After inheriting his grandfather’s castle in Transylvania, young Dr. Frankenstein (Wilder) follows in his ancestor’s freaky footsteps as he sets out to reanimate a dead body in Brooks’ “funniest, most cohesive comedy to date.” (The New York Times)

Young Frankenstein was nominated for two Academy Awards* and two Golden Globe Awards**. More than 40 years later, the film has stood the test of time, ranking at lucky number 13 on the American Film Institute’s list of the top 100 funniest films.

SOCCER PHYSICS Web Game review

Soccer Physics is the newest game by Otto Ojala, who we already know from hits such as Tug the Table and Wrestle Jump. This time, you have to beat your opponent (which can be another player or the computer) in a soccer game.

I have played Soccer Physics a few times these past few days and at first I thought it would be boring but after the first time I have played it I thought it wasn't so bad. I mean it is simple and I think this is a good time killer if you are bored.  The graphics are not the greatest but I like said it will keep you entertained for a bit . 







If this game isn't for you there are many other games at Crazy Games that will interest you. I spent a few hours playing a bunch of different games and found quite a few that I know I will be playing again and again in the near future.
