Groovin’ With Ken

Just because our children are a little older than when Toy Story and Toy Story 2 were released, don’t think that we won’t be lining up to see Toy Story 3 when it’s released later this month. I’ll drag the kids if I have to but I’m not missing out. (Something tells me that Emily and James will still be more than happy to catch up with Buzz, Woody and the crew.)

The creators of the beloved Toy Story films re-open the toy box and bring moviegoers back to the delightful world of Woody, Buzz and our favourite gang of toy characters in Toy Story 3. Woody and Buzz had accepted that their owner Andy would grow up someday, but what happens when that day arrives?

In the third instalment, Andy is preparing to depart for college, leaving his loyal toys troubled about their uncertain future. Lee Unkrich (co-director of Toy Story 2 and Finding Nemo) directs this highly anticipated film, and Michael Arndt, the Academy Award®-winning screenwriter of Little Miss Sunshine, brings his unique talents and comedic sensibilities to the proceedings.

While you’re waiting for June the 24th to roll around, you might enjoy the above video. It’s an exclusive interview with the one of the world’s most celebrated dolls. Is Ken really a “man’s man” or just a “Barbie accessory”? Enjoy the interview.

Times are hard. Money is tight. So now’s the time to spend more cash.

It seems that the rising cost of living and increases in interest rates have forced retailers to dramatically reduce prices and plan for long term discounting to lure us back to the cash registers.

DESPERATE retailers are slashing prices to the bone at mid-year sales starting today in an effort to lure spending-shy shoppers into their stores.

Despite news that retail sales rose in April for the second month running, the deep discounts are set to continue all the way to Christmas. –

I feel for the retailers, I really do, and I’d love to help them out, but rather than being enticed by shiny things I don’t really need at lower than normal prices, I think I might just try to concentrate on putting food on the table for my family.

I think I’ll just have to ask them to get back to me when they’re offering everything free.
