WATERHORSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just took my grandsons, 7 & 8, to see the movie The Waterhorse. It is a true tale of the Loch Ness monster as told by an eyewitness to the events around the creature during the second World War. It is a fun story and has little that would discourage even the most protective parent from taking the kids to see. The boys were delighted and I enjoyed the afternoon contemplating monsters and magic!

THE SEVENTH VOYAGE OF SINBAD!

Kathrine Grant (Mrs Bing Crosby) grew up in the county where I was raised. When I was in grade school she came to our school to promote her new film, "The Seventh Voyage Of Sinbad". She told us about how they made her look only a few inches high; after a wizard had shrunk her as a curse. We learned how they made the Cyclopses move and how the Dragon was animated. We were fascinated by her talk, but the movie was a tremendous adventure for a little boy's imagination.

I have told the story of the voyage to my grandsons for years, as well as how I met one of the stars. Recently I bought a copy of the video tape and shared it with my 5 & 6 years grandsons. It is still a tremendous adventure for little boys, even though the special effects are no match for Star Wars or the Chronicles of Narnia.


Little boys, (and little girls), learn a great deal by listening to stories, I hope you will take the time to tell the stories and teach the lessons.

NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM!!!!!!!!!!!

I took my grandsons, 5 & 7, to see the Ben Stiller movie, Night at the Museum. I found the movie to be lots of fun; completely entertaining. I only found a couple of scenes that I wish had not been included, for the kid's sake. One was the monkey urinating on the guard. It was unnecessary and the movie would still have been funny without it. The other was when Stiller told the Roman Centurion not to be a kiss a**. It also could have been cahnged or eliminated without harm to the story.

But there were lots of things for everyone to laugh at. I loved the interchange between Stiller and the woman at the employment agency, who was played by Stiller's real life mother. I loved the work of Robin Williams and Dick Van Dyke and Mickey Rooney! If you go see the movie, you really should stay to watch the credits roll after the movie is finished, there are some really cute moments with the three old night guards!
