ThunderCats - Ho!

I just found out that one of my favorite 80's cartoons, ThunderCats, is being remade and premiering on Cartoon Network at the end of the month. And while I wasn't as into the cartoon as these guys, I'm still pretty excited about it.







Here's a link to a leaked preview. The animation looks really great.

War Horse Book Review

War Horse by Michael Morpurgo

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


I stumbled across this book and thought I would like it (I can't resist a horse or dog story even though I'm always afraid that I'll have to deal with them dying at the end), then I heard that it's being made into a movie and that it's a Broadway play that won a bunch of Tonys.

It's not as moving as I thought it would be; it didn't get as emotional as Black Beauty but I still enjoyed it. This would be good for a younger teen. I'm very curious how it translates to the stage and screen.
