The LEGO Ninjago Movie Review – Not Just for Kids

LEGO is everything. And everything, yes, everything is awesome. First came The LEGO Movie. Then LEGO Batman. And now… The LEGO Ninjago Movie! At this point, LEGO can do no wrong. Everything they touch is… well, awesome. While the LEGO Ninjago movie sneaks into theaters this weekend, I was actually lucky enough to get an invite to an early screener of the movie!

Move Over Star-Lord, Andrew’s Awesome Mix Tape Takes Center Stage #GoTGVol2

by Andrew Kardon

Music was always a big part of my childhood. Back in the Stone Ages, we played things called “audio cassettes” that we’d put in “tape players” to hear our songs. I know, I know. That sounds crazy.

by Andrew Kardon

It happens to the best of them. Michael Jordon. Tiger Woods. Mickey Mantle. Joe Montana. The superstars of yesteryear face the end of their careers, as the brash, young newcomers take centerstage. Why would we expect anything different from the star of Cars 3: Lightning McQueen?
