Being Elmo is about the puppeteer of Elmo, Kevin Clash. I would highly recommend it to anyone who grew up liking Sesame Street. The movie talks about Kevin when he started making puppets as a kid and doing shows in high school. How he got his first break on TV and ultimately reached his dream of working with Jim Henson. One fact that I found interesting is Elmo was someone else’s puppet first and he got tired of him because he couldn’t find his niche. After he had enough he tossed Kevin the Elmo puppet and told to see if he could do something with him. Kevin then turned Elmo into one of the most beloved puppets on Sesame Street.
If you got some spare time and you are looking for something interesting to watch with the family I would say give this a watch.

After hearing most of my friends talk about this show I finally watched the first season of Breaking Bad. If you haven’t heard of this show it’s about a school teacher who finds out he has lung cancer and will not live much longer. This gets him thinking about how he wants to leave live his pregnant wife, soon to be born daughter, and son setup with some money. Which I think most of us think about and would like to be able to do. However he decides the best way to do this is to start cooking Meth, since he is a Chemistry teacher he does now how.
I might would of given up on this series after the first couple of episodes if it wasn’t for my friends pushing me to continue. I’m not saying that they weren’t interesting but it didn’t hook me at first. After finishing the season thought I’m hooked. Most of the first season was like watching a train wreck, you want to look away but you can’t. The decisions he makes and the trouble he gets into because of hiding things is interesting to watch. To make things even more interesting in the story his brother in law is a cop and his job is going after drug dealers.
The series is on Netflix streaming so I would recommend checking it out. I will say this there are some disturbing things that you see you if you are easily bothered or upset I might would stay away from this one. The show comes on AMC so there is some cursing but they don’t get carried away with it. Overall I liked the first season and since the next two seasons are also on Netflix I will be checking those out as well.

Frozen is a movie about three people on a weekend ski trip, two long time friends and a girlfriend. You soon learn that these weekend getaways were something that the friends did often as guy time and one of the friends doesn’t really like the idea of the girlfriend being around. Even though he gives his buddy a hard time about it, he does try to be nice to the girl.
When the ski resort has to close early because of bad incoming weather the trio talk the ski lift operator into letting them on for one last ride, that was a bad mistake. Because of several miss communications the ski resort turns off the ski lift and closes with the three still on the lift. At first the three thinks the operator is having some fun with them but soon realize that they are stuck. To make it worse they realize that it’s Sunday and the resort doesn’t open back up until Friday. That’s when the fun starts. They are high enough that jumping is a big question but if they stay there they will freeze to death.
Overall (2/5)
This movie is entertaining and you could do much worse but it’s not a must see by any stretch.
Questionable Content (4.5/5)
There is a fair amount of cursing in this movie and some graphic scenes. The graphic scenes were bad but they could of been much worse. I had to turn my head a couple of times fearing that it was going to get pretty gross.
