The Hotness
We have been trying to totally move Ry-Ry away from having accidents in the urinary department for a long while now. It’s just he gets so enthralled in whatever he’s doing whether it’s video games, tv, or annoying his sister. I constantly have to ask him “Ry-Ry, did you tee-tee?” He says “no” and continues on with whatever he was doing.
After several hours of not asking or checking his undies, I ask him “Ry-Ry you gotta tee-tee?” and there was no reply. I say “ok…lemme check”. I proceed to check his urinary area and find it damp. I say “Ry…what is this? Why did you pee your pants?” He says “I didn’t Daddy…it’s just my hotness!”

Madeline’s Halloween And Other Spooky Tales Review
I am a sucker for characters that have holiday specials or episodes that center solely around certain events. So, when I was contacted by Shout! Factory to check out Madeline’s Halloween And Other Spooky Tales I got all giddy in anticipation of carving pumpkins, roasting pumpkins seeds, and watching Halloween themed animated adventures.
Inspired by the beloved classic books that introduced us to a delightful 8-year-old girl who lives at a French boarding school run by nun Miss Clavel, who live in an old house in Paris covered with vines, Madeline’s Halloween & Other Spooky Tales is full of spirited seasonal fun. This collection contains five spooky animated episodes, all making their DVD debut: Madeline’s Halloween; Madeline and the Mean, Nasty Horrible Hats; Madeline and the Mummy; Madeline and the Haunted Castle; and Madeline and the Spider Lady.
I have always loved Halloween. We treat it as a night that is fun-filled, imaginative, and memorable. This DVD is a great way to get your kids in the mood for trick-or-treating and make childhood memories…..or if you are an adult regret eating all of that candy and the chance to scare the crap out of little kids!
Ryan’s Rating: 6 out of 10!!
Pros: Kids love it, very young child centered, shows Halloween as positive experience.
Cons: No extras.

Beauty and the Beast
It was a late November in the year 1991. My junior high school rented out the local theater in my small hometown. They treated us to a day with Disney and let us all watch the movie Beauty and the Beast. I saw everyone in the theater that was my age all smile, laugh, and even cry to those moments in this movie that demanded all the emotions to come pouring out. For me, a person who grew up on Disney films, it made me feel so awesome and amazed that in this time so crucial in the social development in school that everyone was captivated by the magic of Disney.
Now almost twenty years later, I can share this film with my kids and start them out with one of my favorites Beauty and the Beast. On October 5th, Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment releases Beauty and the Beast: Diamond Edition on Blu-ray + DVD Combo Pack! The first animated film to ever be nominated for an Oscar, it features a cast of top vocal talent. Veteran stage actress and singer Paige O’Hara is the voice of Belle, one of Disney’s most beloved and independent heroines, and Robby Benson (TV’s “American Dreams”) delivers a powerful portrayal of the Beast. My daughter has loved Belle since she has been teeny-weeny. My boys loved the Beast and think that he was scary, but saw that he really was kind and had a heart of gold.
In addition, here’s a special coupon for $10 off the Blu-ray + DVD Combo Pack for this release from Disney Movie Rewards that you can find here!

Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue
This will be another movie added to our collection that I absolutely love. I am not ashamed nor afraid to admit that I am totally intrigued with a little world that is all about Fairies. This marks the third movie that features Tink and her world. Before she was ever introduced to Wendy and the Lost Boys, Tinker Bell met Lizzy, a girl with a steadfast belief in fairies. Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue begins in summertime in the beautiful English countryside. An enchanting encounter unfolds when Tinker Bell is discovered by Lizzy, and as their different worlds unite, Tink develops a special bond with the curious girl in need of a friend.
As her fellow fairies launch a daring rescue, Tinker Bell takes a huge risk, putting her own safety and the future of the fairies in jeopardy. This action-packed adventure takes the fairies of Pixie Hollow on a daring flight to London to save Tinker Bell and all of fairy kind.
My kids loved this movie. Yes of course my daughter loved it. She loves anything that Disney puts out. I love the fact though that my two boys were stuck to the screen like it was taylor made for them. There are so many aspects of the movie that appeals to all age ranges.
Blu Ray Bonus Features:
