When I first learned about the Marvel Universe of Super Heroes exhibit at the Museum of Pop Culture, I knew it was something I was going to have to check out. I researched for a bit and decided that my family and I would be taking a trip out to WA this summer to check it out. As huge comic book fans, how could we not?! The fact that Ann Nocenti is the Executive Producer? That is the icing on the cake. Ann has created some of my most favorite comic book character like Mojo, Longshot, and Typhoid Mary. She also wrote an amazing run of Daredevil. Basically, she is a super talented comic book writer, creator, and editor – and I got the chance to talk with her one on one.

Early Man is a movie that the whole family will love. In order to celebrate its home release, my family created our own claymation movie.
I just saw Deadpool 2 last night and, well, this Marvel fan was disappointed. Yes, there was some humor, yes, there were amazing cameos, but no, this movie was not good. Unpopular opinion perhaps but I could barely make it through this movie. In fact, I fell asleep twice. TWICE! During fight scenes! I will keep the first half of this review spoiler free, and then move on to spoilery stuff for those of you that have seen the movie, or just want to know what you are getting yourself into.
The first Deadpool movie was pretty spot on to the comic books, and I don’t expect the second to be any different. He is all about violence, bad language, breaking the 4th wall, and yes, even sex. In fact, one of my favorite story lines in the comics includes him carrying around a zombie head of himself from another time line. I highly recommend that parents know what they are getting in to when taking their kids to see Deadpool 2. Do your research and, if possible, view the film before letting them see it.
In this interview, Black Panther’s Executive Producer, Nate Moore, discusses Easter Eggs, casting, and so much more.
Did you know that when making an animated feature film, the crew has to create looks for every single background character? I guess I knew that, but I never thought much about how much work goes in to it. They have to design not only their clothes, but their hairstyles and body types. Of course, the main characters have to be styled as well. It could totally be argued that more work goes in to the costumes for animated films than live action films. While at Pixar, I was lucky enough to talk to the costume designers for Incredibles 2 and I learned so much about the whole process.
One of my favorite parts about Marvel movies is searching out the Stan Lee cameo. Any real Marvel fan knows that half the fun of the movie is waiting on the edge of your seat for him to appear. over the years, he has played many different roles.
Many of us are still processing Avengers: Infinity War, I know I am. I saw it twice and I still don’t fully know what I saw, despite having a background in the comic books. Going in to Infinity War, I expected death and destruction, I did. But seeing it. Seeing it right in front of my eyes, that is a whole new ballgame folks. I thought I was ready. I was not. Despite all the sadness my soul feels, I tried to put myself together so that I can bring you my Avengers 4 predictions.
One of my favorite things to do with my daughters is cuddle up and watch a good movie. Another one of our favorite things to do is garden together. So when those two things combine in to a fun filled family day, I am at my happiest. Recently, Sony Pictures sent me an adorable Peter Rabbit themed Mother’s Day package, which included a copy of the film, and so much more. My girls and I themed a full girls down around this, and had a blast! Peter Rabbit is available on blu-ray and DVD now, so be sure to pick up a copy!
Today is Star Wars Day (May the 4th be with you) and to help celebrate, I want to tell you about an amazing thing you can do. Lucasfilm and Star Wars: Force for Change have given us as a country a challenge – Roar For Change. Star Wars invites fans and families to share their own version of Chewbacca’s iconic roar. I know my girls were itching to do theirs – me, not so much. I just don’t have the skills for it. But for charity, OK, bring it on. This challenge could potentially earn up to $1 million for UNICEF, who do lifesaving work for children around the world. Why would you not put your Chewbacca face on and roar from the rooftops for that?!
