Since I was a kid, I’ve never really liked Bil Keane’s Family Circus. I thought it was cute at best but really was a three-trick pony. The same three jokes just kept being rotated over and over and over again. There’s the Jeffy running through the maze of a neighborhood. The kids blaming things on “Not Me” and “Ida Know.” And then one of the kids misinterpreting mom or dad’s conversations. Sure there were a few …
If you went back in time and told 10-year-old Andrew that in a few decades he’d be taking his kids to the movies to see sequels for The Avengers and Star Wars movies, he’d think you’re out of your mind. Oh, and an Ant-Man film too. Ant-Man? Ant-Man?!? That one probably would’ve made me laugh until my head exploded. I still remember sitting in the theater with my buddy Ethan (we were there to see …

It’s no secret that I love Star Wars. It’s also no secret that I do my best to pretend the Prequels (that’d be Episodes I-III) never happened. But that just proves how insanely awesome Lego is, because they can actually make me enjoy (and yes, even laugh) at things like Jar Jar Binks. If you haven’t seen any of the Lego Star Wars movies (or played the video games), you don’t know what you’re …
