DVD Review: Curious George 2: Follow That Monkey

Way back when, when my son was just a wee little baby, my husband and I fell in love with the original Curious George movie, starring Will Ferrell as Ted, The Man in the Yellow Hat. I remember secretly hoping that my son would love it, too. I was in luck – George is a [...]

DVD Review: Wizards of Waverly Place The Movie
