The Testaments of Ann Lee and If I Had Legs, I’d Kick You
We are all busy people. Thank you for finding the time in your lives to read my film reviews. I’ve seen two films this week and I’m reviewing them together, in part, to save myself some time. So, let me save you some of that precious resource too and say that they are both good films, with excellent central performances. The Testament of Ann Lee got more stars (4.5) than If I Had Legs, I’d Kick You (3.5) on the spreadsheet I’m keeping for this year’s viewing. This means I would recommend them both, but as time is short for all of us, if you only have time to see one, make it The Testament of Ann Lee. But, for those who want to know more, please read on and you might discover which film would suit you best.

The Best SpongeBob SquarePants Episodes!
#1 - "Band Geeks" (Season 2, Episode 15) I love that stadiums and sports/concert arenas have begun attempting to recreate the SpongeBob anthem that rallied a generation. The Bubble Bowl is the SpongeBob equivalent of the Super Bowl, and honestly, Bikini Bottomites put on a better halftime show than the NFL. By a long shot.

Could Silver the Hegdehog be Shadow's Grandson?
Lately, I have been seeing comments on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube saying that Silver is Shadow the Hedgehog’s son. This could be true because there are some similarities between them. For example, the highlighted area around their eyes. Shadow has it red, while Silver is black.
