I am a huge fan of Arthurian Legend. I have read so many books on King Arthur and the knights of the round table. I’ve even thought that “What if a modern day King Arthur story was told”. I’d love to see a story where an ordinary kid from now find the sword, Excalibur and in turn rebuilds the Knights of the Round table and they battle evil. Well, I think someone was reading my mind because they have mined the King Arthur legend to create a new movie that is being released in 2019 called The Kid Who Would Be King. The movie stars Louis Ashbourne Serkis, the son of Andy Seriks famed Mo-Cap actor and full on actor in his own right. I am interested in seeing what this movie will do and if it is good will it spark the desire for my kids to want to learn more about the legend off King Arthur? If so, then I have a library of books awaiting them. Continue reading Movie: The Kid Who Would Be King→

I am beyond thrilled to see the new She-Ra and the Princesses of Power trailer for many reasons. I watched the original show back when I was a kid and the nostalgia is great. I am enjoying the jokes I see in the trailer. Eva and Andrew watched the trailer with me and they were excited. I love finding shows that the three of us can watch together and the last and most important reason is Aimee Carrero, the voice of She-Ra. I met and interviewed her four years ago when she was doing promo for Young and Hungry. She was wonderful to talk to and I even took a photo with her that day. I am excited to see what she does with the character.
The New York Comic Con is happening and during it the new trailer for the show debuted and there were a few actors and actresses from the show on hand along with the show’s creator Noelle Stevenson. Below is a press release about what is happening at the She-Ra booth and what happened at the panel. I am going to have to take exception to what was reported regarding that the crowd was shouting. The release scrambles the battle cry of He-Man and She-Ra into one. He-Man says, “By the Power of Grayskull!” She-Ra says, “For the Honor of Grayskull!”. The press release says that the crowd was shouting “For the Power of Grayskull”. Nope, that did not happen, not with a whole room full of She-Ra fans. No way! Watch the trailer below and you will know She-Ra’s battle cry. I for one am still trying to figure out how they are going to explain Grayskull in the show when there is no He-Man, Eternia, The Sorceress or Castle Grayskull.
