Wreck It Ralph

Wreck It Ralph opens this Friday, November 2nd. My family was invited to see an advance screening at the amazing El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood this past weekend and loved it.

The set up of the story is a little slow but once it gets going it's really funny. There are lots of retro gaming jokes and other tid bit/easter eggs for the grown ups. It's really cute and has a nice message about not judging a book by it's cover.

Definitely appropriate for all ages.

I give it two tired gamer thumbs up!



If you are in Los Angeles try to see it at El Capitan. It is a beatiful theatre with live organ music preshow, not to mention all the amazing displays from the movie. It adds so much to the movie going experience.

Mad Men Season 6 Peek

Mad Men Season 6 is still illusive but there has been a little leak. A few pictures are surfacing. Just like last year's leak they feature Jon Hamm and Jessica Pare in bathing suits but this time they're in Hawaii. One would think this means their relationship survives, but than maybe they're just going through the motions on a trip with the kids???

Here's one shot of Don reading, what appears to be, Dante's The Inferno. It makes sense that Mr. Draper should familiarize himself with the circles of hell, since he so often finds himself in one or another of them.

What ever the scenerio, I would advise they stay away from tiki necklaces...

Meanwhile, IRL, you can pick up Mad Men Season 5 DVD now. I love listening to all the commentaries, especially while waiting for a new season to begin.

For all seasons recaps and news on Mad Men

The Graham Norton Show on BBC America

The Graham Norton Show is returning to BBC America Saturday, October 27, with Arnold Schwarzenegger.  The Graham Norton Show is my all time favorite talk show. He doesn't mess around with skits and long monologues. The entire show is just the guest interacting with him and one another, and most often fall off your seat hysterically.

This 12th season premiere episode also has Usher, and comedian Miranda Hart who plays Chummy on Call The Mid Wife (airing on PBS). I'm sure it's going to be another ridiculous season, that you shouldn't miss.



I love his orange loving set too!

Sound Shapes for PS3 and Vita

Sound Shapes is a new 2D platform music game from Playstation for the PS3 and Vita. Being a Playstation Family member my family was given codes to test them out, and boy did we. Actually I let my daughter go first and I'm still waiting for a turn. The game is great for music lovers and those interested in game design.

The game is visual appealing with design by Pixeljam, Capy, Superbrothers, and others. The music is by I Am Robot and Proud, Jim Guthrie and Deadmau5. 

With every stage you clear in the game you open more components to create your own stages and music. After my daughter had played for about an hour she had enough to create the stage below. My daughter is 8 years old and had no difficulty finding her way around. I will admit she is pretty familiar with Playstation and gaming in general.

I almost got a turn last night but then my husband got on. So let's watch this video and see what Playstation has to say about the game.

Vote For Doctor Who

As you all must know, I love Doctor Who. They're running a little campaign over at TV guide to vote for a show to be on the cover December 10th. I think it's my duty to spread the word, like a Whovian missionary. What better medium than my bible, The TV Guide.

So please vote early and often. No seriously you can vote as many times as you like!
