Reviews

I like buying toys; not just for the baby. I like letting other people know when I find a toy I like, and also when I find something I don’t like. That’s why I created this page, so I could give you my opinion on a few of the things I’ve bought (or been given) and tried out. You won’t see any recipes here, coupon codes, or discounts for man purses either. I also really like movies and television, so what you will see are some product reviews, and some service reviews, and lots of movie reviews. You may not have time to watch many movies being a busy father, but if you do, make sure to check here first.

The Karate Kid – Movie Review

Of course not. That’s why I should have known better watching The Karate Kid (2010), directed by Harald Zwart as a re-imagining of [...]
