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 hands...

As a HUGE fan of The Little Mermaid (yes, in my thirties and I will still watch it like its the first time... ) I was so excited to hear that they had released a 2 movie collection of that lovable Mermaid!!! In the 2 movie collection, we have The Little Mermaid Ariels Beginning... and then The Little Mermaid II Return to the Sea. We watched the Ariels Beginning the other night...

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? As I said, we went to the Aquarium... and Broxton was immediately mesmerized!!! Getting a picture was like pulling teeth, he wanted to look the other way... Wonder why?!

I know that there has to be symbolism in there some way or another, but it was lost on me...   Besides that (and let me be clear, i
