Tinker Bell

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Specialty Stores
starring: Mae Whitman, Kristen Chenoweth, America Ferrera, Raven, Lucy Liu

October 28, 2008
I am a huge Disney fan but usually feel let down by their movies that go straight to DVD. Tinker Bell was a pleasant surprise! The characters are funny, adorable, and very easy for kids of all ages to relate to. It kept with the Disney theme that anyone can do anything if they put their mind to it! Learning the history and the roots of Tinker Bell was a fun journey to be a part of. i would tell anyone to buy or rent this DVD!

Great gift for the holidays!

Mario Kart Wii with Wii Wheel

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Specialty Stores
from: Nintendo

April 27, 2008
While not the best thing to look at in the graphics department (especially during multiplayer races), this game manages to be extremely fun. The control scheme(s) are great, and while I am better when using the Wiimote/nunchuch scheme, I find myself wanting to use the Wii Wheel most often because it adds to the fun. The bottom line here is that everyone can enjoy this game, and the multiplayer never gets old. The best thing I can say about this game is that I will be playing it for as long as I own a Wii. A definite must buy for the Wii.

The Dark Knight (+ Digital Copy and BD Live) [Blu-ray]

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Specialty Stores
starring: Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Aaron Eckhart, Michael Caine

December 09, 2008
The ruination of the Batman mythos continues. Some examples:

1. The heroine never dies even though she didn't belong in the first place.

2. Batman doesn't endanger innocent bystanders as in the high speed chase with so much destruction.

3. The Joker never ever fooled Batman pyschologically.

Batman is now just another vigilante. The movie is far too long, with too much violence. Cell phone networks are incapable of doing what Batman had it do. Whatever happened to his detective skills to figure things out or weren't writers smart enough to figure something out?

There probably isn't enough of the mythos left to sustain the franchise without looking like an empty shell. And there were ... Read More:

I want to start by saying i'm a HUGE pixar fan. I was there when they began and i grew up with their films, seeing every one of them in theaters and owning more than a normal amount of their merchandise. I was excited to see andrew stanton's sophmore directorial work at pixar and i was not dissapointed. this film is literally a masterpiece, you forget you're watching an animated family film after a while. it's dark, honest, and so absolutely beautiful, your jaw will be dropped and you will laugh alot. this film is funny and smart and is steering pixar in a whole new direction, now with that being said, i immediatley anticipated the dvd release of the film. after some lousy dvd releases for the last couple years (the incredibles being their last release to recieve ...

Wii Music

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Specialty Stores
from: Nintendo

October 20, 2008
there are some interesting parts to the game (cd covers / playback) however i think it more for younger kids. adults may find it a bit slow especially ones that have rocked out with guitar world or rock band. i could live with or without it. maybe i need to give it more of a chance.

Wild Planet Hyper Dash

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Specialty Stores
from: Wild Planet

August 01, 2007
I see there is now a "double" hyperdash and I think this may have made a difference for us. My kids just didn't get into it. Also, it stopped working after just a few uses. Still, I love the idea and think my kids may just be too young for it -- they are 6 and 3.

Wii Rock Band Special Edition

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Specialty Stores
from: MTV Games

June 22, 2008
Rock Band for Wii overall is a fun game, but if you also own one of the other consoles this game comes out on, I would recommend getting it for that system. It's not that the one for Wii isn't fun, but it doesn't include some things that the other console releases have. Here are some of the pros and cons.

PROS:
*Rock Band has a great variety of songs
*It has four instruments, allowing for the whole family to play.
*It has a great variety of old and newer songs, so some older people might enjoy the selection.
*The guitar is wireless, giving you more room to "rock"
*The instruments are very durable
*The guitar's strumming bar is smoother and makes much less noise than the Guitar Hero guitar.

CONS:
*The game is very hard to calibrate ... Read More:

When inputting letters/words the Nintendo doesn't accept my printing of words. Tried different ways to print the letters and they were not accepted as well.
