Today’s is Veteran’s Day, where we thank the soldiers who came home from war and were lucky enough to survive. For this year’s tribute posting I found a cute little video from Elma Elementary School in (if my weak research was right) Elma, Washington. While they could use a better editor, it’s good to see teachers having kids pay honor to our men and women in uniform.

Late To The Movies review: Godzilla (2014)

Well, I finally got to see the Warner Brothers/Legendary Pictures version of Godzilla last night, seeing on sale at Target earlier in the week.

However, I was entertained for two hours and that’s the important part. Then again I was entertained by Tri-Star’s attempt for different reasons so just my review as you will.
