After watching a recent episode of “The Simpsons” where Lisa buys a Wii for the senior facility where Grampa lives and all of the old folks actually get movin’ and have a blast (until a  nurse “acidentally” put it in the dishwasher because the residents became too active and demanding), I thought more senior centers and senior care facilities should have a Wii. But a playground? RAD!!!

M. Night Shyamalan’s “The Last Airbender”: the buzz is building on this one! I’m a long time fan of the Oscar nominated director and after seeing a trailer I knew I had to see this film based on the popular kids animated series “Avatar.” An effects and action driven adventure that is certainly a step in a different direction for Shyamalan, but definitely one I am very excited to be seeing.
