Four Timeless Marketing Lessons from the Lego Movie

May 9th, 2014 · No Comments · General Marketing, Movies, The Joy of Fatherhood

A few weeks ago, I took my Lego-obsessed 9 year old son to see the Lego Movie, and thus claimed the title of World’s Most Awesome Dad (at least until my son’s bedtime rolled around). The Lego Movie was awesome. I don’t think it’s in theaters anymore, but if you missed it, I recommend you […]

Netfix Rocks

October 25th, 2008 · No Comments · Movies

While I’m no movie guru, or Siskel and Ebert, I decided I’d start a “movie” category to let you know when I see a movie that I think is worth seeing (which is probably 1 out of 3 or 4 movies that I see). When I see a movie that I think is worthy of […]
