With a cast of Uma Thurman, Minnie Driver and Anthony Edwards, a straight-to-DVD release for this film seemed highly unusual. After watching Motherhood, I understood why a nationwide theatrical release wasn’t in the cards. Motherhood, the film, is much like 24, the TV series, only with helicopter moms, status obsessed […]
The Jimmies are HUGE in my house. They’re probably the Bear’s fave band. Nary a day goes by without her belting out “Everyday’s a holiday with you!”, rustling her hair along with “Bedhead”, or crooning to “Taddy” while the Mouse strums her air guitar and bounces around the living room […]
Dan Zanes is amazing. His hair, the leg slide thing he does, his raspy voice, the musicians he surrounds himself with – all of it practically perfect in every way. The Fine Friends Are Here!, his latest live DVD release (on the delayed heels of 2005’s fine All Around the […]
My girls really dig the Scholastic video library we’ve amassed in our home. From Arnie the Doughnut to Where the Wild Things Are, there’s nothing on TV better than what the Scholastic Storybook Treasures DVD series offers children. A Very Brave Witch and More Great Halloween Stories for Kids is […]
Recess Monkey “Field Trips with Recess Monkey” DVD The Sound: Beatles influenced (heck, who isn’t) goofy, witty pop perfection. In the Cafeteria, They Sit With: Billy Kelly, John Vanderslice, Robbert Bobbert, and of course, per their contract, Mayor Monkey. Best Moments: The trike race on Rainbow Road that ends inside […]
For the first time in my life, I’m so very glad not to reside in the Big Apple. Enrolling my children into a preschool program was a breeze. Toured ’em, asked ’em some questions and picked the one that looks the best and is geographically convenient. Done. Oh, to have […]
Wow, this looks crazy and a little frightening (for some kids, like mine, at least). The trailer doesn’t excite me as much as Where The Wild Things Are, but still…should be quite a film.

Some of the most enjoyable children’s television we’ve ever watched hasn’t been television at all. Scholastic Storybook DVDs have a special place in our hearts and have served as our commercial free alternative to Noggin, PBSKids and the like. Even the character-filled intro to each DVD is greeted with applause […]
