For Dads: Horrible Bosses #BlurayElite Review #SP

Horrible Bosses

As a member of Warner Home Video super exclusive Blu-Ray Elite team, I get access to some of the greatest movies ever made. My mission is to give you how these movies fit in the life of a Dad. Movie: Horrible Bosses Who wouldn’t want to kill an awful boss.  Horrible Bosses is an underrated comedy, while not ridiculously inventive or even great for that matter there is enough meat on the bones of this movie that I find the movie pretty re-watchable.  With outlandish performances from Kevin Spacey, Jennifer Aniston and Colin Farrell the movie has you rooting for our heroes to get their revenge. Dad Factor: High.  This movie was made for adults to watch.  This is a definite only for the scene with Jennifer Aniston as a inappropriate dentist.  Add in Colin Farrell with his Bill Murray from Kingpin style hair and tiger robes are totally unforgettable. Kid Factor: Not until they are a bit older (meaning when they are at least teenagers) and even that is a bit of … [Read more...]

For Dads: Inception #Bluray Elite Review

Inception_Blu-Ray

As a member of Warner Home Video super exclusive Blu Ray Elite team I get access to some of the greatest movies ever made. My mission is to tell you how these movies fit in the life of a Dad. Movie: Inception It's kind of funny that I recieved Inception along with The Matrix as my first taste of the Warner Home Video Blu Ray Elite progam.  Both movie kind of blow your mind away, this time Inception creates the ultimate heist movie but instead of stealing money from banks they are stealing ideas in dreams.  The concept is great but I think the execution is even better thanks to the genius of Christopher Nolan, when you add in the Batman movies and his earlier work like Memento you realize he has fashioned quite an impressive career for himself.  Dad Factor: High.  Great movie, though this is no mindless movie, be ready to put your thinking cap on...and ask yourself how deep you would go to see your own kids again? Kid Factor: Low. Way too high level thinking for the … [Read more...]

(Video) Xbox Kinect Rush: A Disney/Pixar Adventure Party & Giveaway Sweepstakes

Rush Disney Pixar Adventure XBOX 360 Kinect game

Update: This Giveaway Sweepstakes is Closed congrats to the winners!  What kid is going to say no to a party that includes Disney/Pixar favorites The Incredibles, Toy Story, Cars, Ratatouille and Up?  I definitely know what the answer was in the Dancing Hotdogs home.  When we found that we were going to have an opportunity to try out the new Kinect game Kinect Rush: A Disney Pixar Adventure (A actual review of the game will be coming up), we jumped at the chance.  We invited all the kids we knew and had a huge bash.  Honestly, I didn’t even know we knew so many children, I am pretty sure a couple just snuck in before we closed the door.  In order to accommodate the crowd we had to have playtime outside, and bring in the kids almost one at a time inside to play the game.  Any of you who have Kinect will agree how difficult it is to play with a whole bunch of children all at the same time.  You definitely run into the problem of people walking in the way or looking to … [Read more...]

My greatest NEW adventure: Stay at Home Mami

Rock and X

By Divina I am so excited to be typing up this post!  You read correctly, as of September 12th, I will be a Stay at Home Mami to my two beautiful sons Rock and X. Every mom has to make that fateful decision. Can I afford to stay home? Do I even want to stay home? Do I want to work from home? I have been an “out of home” full time working Mami for the past three years and it has been exhausting.  I was always running between work deadlines, daycare pickups/drop offs, laundry, dinners blogging and everything else just went to the way side. I loved having the extra income when it was just Rock but when X came along there was not that much extra left over after the cost of daycare for a toddler and a baby. But the cost of daycare for two AND preschool tuition!   My entire pay check plus some of Eddy’s would be going to have some strangers raise our children.  If you have met me, you … [Read more...]

PUR One Click Faucet Mount Product Review and GIVEAWAY

pur-one-click-package

By Eddy UPDATE!  GIVEAWAY CLOSED.  Winner selected by www.random.org was Rachel.  Congrats on the win.  You are going to love the One Click PUR Faucet. When it comes to water filter people tend to fall in two groups.  The first are those that wont drink tap water for anything, believing that it tastes weird or is unhealthy (this is Divina) and the other side doesn't really give a crap and feels that the water from the tap is as good as the one from the bottle (this is where I am...or was until I met my lovely wife).  Yet, it's proven that they are a number of unhealthy things in the water depending on where you live and how you get your water.  Therefore, I feel it's better to be safe than sorry, so we started to drink filtered water.  We started with the Brita water jugs, but I just got annoyed with having to fill and refill the jug all the time.  I just wanted to turn on the faucet and have my water...is that so much to ask? We started trying different brands of on … [Read more...]
