    Aaah, I love this F56! It's so simple but it's so true as well! As a child you're much more open to veering off the path, but as an adult you prefer sticking to the known. Man, I wish I was still a child sometimes! Thanks for hosting :) Hope you have a great weekend!

    Concise and to the point. I've heard good things about Neil Gaiman's writing, and I'm looking forward to reading this book.

Scooby Doo: The Sword And The Scoob

AVAILABLE ON DIGITAL NOW AND DVD MARCH 23!

REVIEW: It was weird starting off with a He-Man lookalike, Thunder the Barabarian), until I realized a character from the film was watching the cartoon in the airplane. Still, it was kind of cool to reminice about two cartoons from my childhood. So many great actors bring the film to life! What a fun story it was too! Although
