Solo: A Star Wars Story follows the journey of a young Han Solo as he begins to be a smuggler. Along the way he meets Chewbacca and Lando Calrissian, and flies the Millennium Falcon for the first time. It’s a story of adventure, love, and betrayal. There was a lot of hate for this movie, and I honestly don’t see why. It was a decent film. Granted, it wasn’t on the level of Rogue One…and backstory for Han really wasn’t needed. But it still didn’t deserve the amount of negativity it received. Donald Glover knocked it out of the park as Lando, and it was a huge treat to see Darth Maul. For me, the only issue was trying to figure out how old Han was through the movie. The plot covers about three years of his life, and it never actually says how old he was. I had to look it up while watching, and according to official Star Wars sites he is 19 at the beginning of the move and 22 after the time jump. Overall, it wasn’t a bad movie. It was entertaining and enjoyable. I really hope ...
TV Review – The Flash: The Complete Fourth Season
Warner Bros. Home Entertainment provided me with a free copy of the Blu-ray I reviewed in this Blog Post. The opinions I share are my own. The Flash: The Complete Fourth Season picks up with Barry still trapped in the speed force. When Central City is threatened by a new powerful villain, Cisco works to free him. With Barry free, Clifford DeVoe, aka The Thinker, begins a deadly game with Team Flash and is always ten steps ahead. Will they be able to outmaneuver him? Season 4 was full of action and I really enjoyed it. Hartley Sawyers portrayal of Ralph Dibny (aka The Elongated Man) made the entire season. It was spot on the comics. The Thinker was great too, though I didn’t think much of Marlize DeVoe. A lot of her scenes came off as forced and she could have at least gotten a decent villain outfit that didn’t involve her looking like she had greasy hair. Cecile's sudden telepathic abilities were hilarious, especially once she started truing into everyone. And Danny Trejo ...
TV Review – Arrow: The Complete Sixth Season on Blu-Ray
Warner Bros. Home Entertainment provided me with a free copy of the Blu-ray I reviewed in the Blog Post. The opinions I share are my own. Arrow: The Complete Sixth Season picks up after the explosion on Lian Yu at the end of Season 5. Oliver must now embrace a new role: being a father. Juggling this new responsibility along with being mayor and the Green Arrow will put Oliver to the test as enemies close in on all sides. Arrow season 6 is a wild ride with a lot going on. It’s a bit hard to keep up with at times, but worth watching the entire season in one go. There was a lot of Oliver/Felicity going, with the two of them finally getting married at the end of the Legends, Flash, and Supergirl cross over event (which was awesome, even though they killed off half of Firestorm). Personally, I’ve gotten a little sick of Olicity so I’m hoping that the darker tone of the upcoming season will tone that down a little. I was sad to see Paul Blackthorne leave at the end of the season, ...
Product Review – Cave Tools BBQ Grill Pan
A few weeks back, I was asked to try out Cave Tool’s new BBQ grill pan. This flat pan has two sections: one that’s solid and one that has slats for grill marks. It’s made of durable stainless steel and measures 15.3 by 13 inches. We recently bought a new charcoal grill after our gas grill finally wore out (replacement parts cost more than a brand new grill!). This pan is large enough to cover a good portion of the grill rack, and is excellent. So far we have cooked steaks, fish, burgers, and more. Nothing has stuck to it yet, and it easily cleans off. It still looks brand new even after over a dozen uses. The cool thing about this pan is that it’s very similar to those flexible grill mats that are popular right now, but more sturdy. You can pretty much cool anything on it, even eggs and bacon. We are really looking forward to using it on our next comping trip. Overall, I can’t point out how awesome this bbq grill pan is. You can purchase the grill pan on Amazon or from the ...

Big Hero 6: The Series Review and Giveaway [ENDED]
Disney’s Big Hero 6: The Series – Back in Action takes place just before the end of the hit Big Hero 6, following Hiro Hamado as he rebuilds Baymax and works to protect San Fransokyo with his friends. This collection of episodes includes the first 7 episodes of the series and also 6 shorts featuring Baymax and the team. I loved Big Hero 6 and have been super excited to see the series when they announced it last year. The series is every bit as enjoyable as the movie and my daughter and I both love it. I think our favorite episode is Food Fight, where Aunt Cass gets addicted to competing in underground cooking competitions. It was a hilarious take on Iron Chef and there is even a nod to Gordon Ramsay. In a reversal of roles, Aunt Cass sneaks out at night to compete, with Hiro having to be the responsible one and go out to find her. Overall, the series is off to a great start and I can’t wait to watch more episodes. I really hope that they will make a sequel movie soon as well. Big ...
