Riding High in the GMC Sierra Denali


Photo-A-Day #2978

I was given the chance to test drive a GMC Sierra Denali for a week and tell you what I think of it. Opinions are 100% my own.

I got home from work today and caught a couple of hours of sleep before the GMC Sierra Denali was dropped off at the house. I was very excited to get the delivery of the truck. I’ve been looking forward to driving this truck for a while. It is always fun to try out a new vehicle for a week and see what you like about it. It is certainly much more useful to learning about the vehicle than just a simple test drive.

Eva's Excited

The truck arrived before Eva got out of school so she was super excited when I rolled up in “Ironhide!” I love that she knows her Transformers even if it was the movie version. Actually the movie version of the character is a GMC Topkick and is way more Heavy Duty than the Sierra Denali. I tend to think of this version of the vehicle Ironhide’s civilian clothes.

I’ll be telling you more about the truck as the week progresses.

Monsters, Inc. 3D Blu-ray Ultimate Collector’s Pack Review

Monsters Inc Ultimate Collector's Edition Pack Shot

We missed Monsters, Inc. when it returned to theaters in 3D. Luckily the TV I won last year is a 3D TV and with our 3D Blu-ray player we were able to experience a movie that we love in a whole new way. Monsters, Inc. is one of those wonderful fun and imaginative movies that turns a known concept on its ear. In this case it is monsters under the bed or in the closet in this case. The monsters who are scaring kids are doing a job and like any job there are on the job perils and big time corporations looking at the bottom line instead of what really matters. In this case the corporation believes that children are toxic to monsters and try and keep anyone quiet who learns otherwise. Our heroes not only learn the truth but learn that the laughter of a child provides more energy for Monstropolis than even the highly sought after screams.

It was nice to see Mike and Sulley up to their antics in a whole new way, 3D. There are also tons of great extras in the DVD set including the 3D Blu-ray, the regular Blu-ray, DVD and Digital copy. With this set you are completely covered for any type of media playback device you might have. There are also a bunch of fun extras including a funny sneak peek at the upcoming Monsters University movie where we will see how Mike and Sulley met. More info below.
