Fishy Field Trip

Sunday, August 3rd, 2008

Fishy Field Trip Reviews: Ms. Frizzle’s class has been working for days to prepare presentations for the school’s big assembly for Ocean Awareness. It instructs students on “how important it is to respect how everything in nature works together” and “that things are not always what they seem.” Tim and his classmates learn so much [...]

Law School Trip

Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008

Law School Trip Reviews: I start law school in about a month, and have read several law school prep books. Most of them made me want to run away from law school when they weren’t boring me to death. The Law School Trip is just the opposite. I couldn’t put it down. Every time you [...]

The Magic School Bus and the Electric Field Trip

Monday, June 30th, 2008

The Magic School Bus and the Electric Field Trip Review: It is more than obvious that Joanna Cole and Bruce Degen had the time of their lives bringing this book to fruition.

But this book seems to take the worst combination; dumbed down story with too-hard words. That [...]

National Lampoon’s Senior Trip

Monday, June 30th, 2008

National Lampoon’s Senior Trip Review: It’s because I have a particular taste for this. I love this film. I’m a huge Kevin McDonald fan and the role he plays is just priceless. So, seeing that this film finally came to DVD, I’m not overjoyed, I’m ecstatic. The film is simple. Really bad class make a [...]

Old School Vs. New School

Monday, June 30th, 2008

Old School Vs. New School Review: I was looking for a breakbeat compilation and found this. A few tracks have some sweet breakbeats, but there’s so much more funk that can’t be contained by just one musical subgenre. These new school remixes have taken these already great tracks and transformed them. There are a couple [...]
