Shiver Me Timbers! A Glow in the Dark Sticker Book
$3.99
My 19-month-old loves this book. We read it over and over and over again, and honestly, Mommy & Daddy could use a little break from this fine book. We got this as a gift way back when our son was an infant and tried introducing it when he was around 9-months-old. Didn't work, as all he wanted to do was tear at the pages. Seeing as how they're really high-quality pages, we put it away till last week, and now he just loves it. Pours over it quite often. He loves to point at the firemen sliding down the pole and at the things that the firemen have saved from the fire. It's very engaging for a young toddler; I highly recommend it.

Surf's Up, SpongeBob! (Spongebob Squarepants)
$3.99
SpongeBob learns to hang ten in this rad surfing-themed story that ties in with the primetime movie event airing in April 2009! SpongeBob eagerly accepts Sandy's invitation to go surfing at Goo Lagoon--until he realizes he doesn't know how to surf! What will he do? It's Patrick to the rescue as he shows SpongeBob how to ride the waves, right in their backyard. When he meets Sandy the next day, SpongeBob nervously makes his way out into the water and tries to break his surfboard so he wouldn't have to surf. But then he gets caught up in a huge wave, and he has no choice but to wipe out--or does he?

Shadow Beings
$19.95
This was my first low or no budget film. I have seen many since that time because of this movie. The first thing that got me hooked on this film was the opening music; it draws you in and starts you on the path of the film. The movie is part Sci-fi, part conspiracy, with a little bit of supernatural thrown in to keep you from trusting the shadows in your own room. The movie is gray in mood and even in parts of characters triumph, you have the feeling it is just the beginning of the worst to come. Acting was good some better then others, but no worst than some of the blockbuster hit I have seen for $10. If you like to see movies with sole and made by people that still care for the true art of film making then you need this one in your collection or if you want a break from the Hollywood cookie cutter big budget movies.
