By Ken in Geek Dad on May 6, 2009 : : 21 comments

The new Star Trek movie is coming out this week. Finally. It’s been seven million years since the last Star Trek movie. I’m a big time Star Trek fan, but my kids are not exactly Trekkers.

My favorite song in Walk the Line is Time’s A Wastin (by Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon).

Super Heroes Are Coming Soon to a Theater Near You

By Ken in Geek Dad on April 28, 2008 : : 30 comments

As most of you know, my two oldest kids and I have a fondness for superheroes. That’s why we are looking forward to the upcoming superhero movies this summer. I doubt we’ll see any of them at the theater. Most of them are too long for my son. He starts fidgeting after about an hour. [...]
