Those were magic names of my childhood, names responsible for Crusader Rabbit, Fractured Flickers, Hoppity Hooper, George of the Jungle, Super Chicken, Dudley Do-Right, Aesop & Son, Fractured Fairy Tales, Rocky and Bullwinkle, and…Mr. Peabody & Sherman. There have been movie attempts to recapture that magical style in the past (George came close), but now it’s time for Mr. Peabody & Sherman, a CGI-animated feature (also available in 3-D), directed by Rob (The Lion King) Minkoff.

When I first saw the trailer for The Lego Movie, all I saw was a cheap cash grab to sell more Lego sets. The idea of a movie about Lego’s just didn’t really work to me. As time went on and more info (and trailers) started coming out, the better and better the idea became. All of the sudden we had an all star cast and trailers that were really funny. It may not be a cash grab, but I guarantee that this movie will sell Lego sets.

When you hear the words “white” and “rapper” together, you probably think of Eminem, but the producers of Archer are looking to change all that with their new series, Chozen. When I first read FX’s official description, they said Chozen’s “music and lyrics take aim at the stereotypes of machismo misogyny that [are] synonymous with rap music,” so naturally, it piqued my interest.
