Are you looking for something good to throw in your DVD player this week? We just might have something that will fill the bill. We started out our week with a look at “The Magic School Bus: Creepy, Crawly Fun,” which teaches children some basic principles of science in a fun, entertaining way.

We began the week with Lyn’s review of “The Adventures of Milo and Otis,” about a puppy and a kitten who become friends. Unlike other movies that feature animals as their main characters, Milo and Otis do not speak, but rather, a narrator provides a running dialogue for us. It’s an enjoyable film, but not one packed with a lot of action. Next, Valorie took us on a tour of “I am Legend,” which … Continue reading →
