I saw him on Ellen a while back, promoting the newest movie, The Wolverine.  I did not give it much thought, until he was talking about how much physical work was put into it...  When you look at the front of the case, you know he wasn't sitting around eating candy bars every day!!! So - it arrived just in time for me to be able to watch it with one of the boys... We decided to make a movie night the other night and I tell you what, this is one ACTION PACKED movie.  I will say that I have no idea anything about wolverine, besides the fact that this character has been around for what seems like ages and all I knew about him was that he had knife type things coming out of his ...

The other night, Broxton and I had an amazing time!!! We were invited to the Georgia Aquarium to work with the release of the latest Percy Jackson Movie Blu-Ray / DVD  and team up with Project Linus and UPS!!!   What happened?
