One Dad's Quest to Regain Control of his Kingdom
Rick and Morty: Season 4. (Stars: Justin Roiland, Chris Parnell, Spencer Grammer, Sarah Chalke). America’s favorite crazy scientist and his grandson return for more misadventures when the latest season of Adult Swim’s hit series Rick and Morty: Season 4
(Stars: Diahann Carroll, James Earl Jones, Lawrence-Hilton Jacobs, Tamu Blackwell, David Kruger). Diahann Carroll is radiant in an unforgettable, Oscar-nominated performance as Claudine, a strong-willed single mother, raising six kids in Harlem, whose budding relationship with a gregarious garbage collector (an equally fantastic James Earl Jones) is stressed by the difficulty of getting by in an oppressive system. Directed by John Berry, this romantic comedy with a social conscience deftly balances warm humor with a serious look at the myriad issues—from cycles of poverty to the indignities of the welfare system—that shape its characters’ realities. The result is an empathetic chronicle of both Black working-class struggle and Black joy, a bittersweet, bighearted celebration of family and community set to a sunny soul soundtrack composed by Curtis Mayfield and performed by Gladys Knight & the Pips.
(Stars: Brandon Routh, Caity Lotz, Victor Garber, Dominic Purcell, Matt Ryan, Tala Ashe, Lisa Marie DiGiacinto, Veronika London, Jes Macallan, Amy Louise Pemberton, Mathias Retamal, Shayan Sobhian, Adam Tsekhman, Jasmine Vega, and Arthur Darvill). As we reach the conclusion of season four, a demon named Neron has possessed the body of Ray Palmer (Brandon Routh), leaving John Constantine (Matt Ryan) to wrest Ray’s soul from the hands of Astra Logue (Olivia Swann), the “innocent girl” he failed to rescue from Hell years all those long years ago. Meanwhile, up in our world, Sara Lance (Caity Lotz) and her girlfriend Ava Sharpe (Jes Macallan) must deal with a magical creature-fueled paranoia. Harvesting souls via an insidious Palmer Tech app, Neron is poised to “Make Earth Hell Again.”
To make matters worse, Sara’s Timeship has been turned into a Noah’s Ark for various unruly monsters and magical creatures. Oh, and Ava’s Time Bureau was taken over by an evil Fairy Godmother. To defeat Neron, the Legends realize in the end that they will have to sacrifice one of their own. But it gets way worse…
In attempting to change her future, Zari Tomaz (Tala Ashe) will accidentally change not just the past she shared with Nate Heywood (Nick Zano), but fundamentally change who the Legends are in season five. Can our team go back to who they were next season? Can a reformed arsonist turned romance novelist Mick Rory (Dominic Purcell), a half-werewolf named Mona Wu (Ramona Young), and a punk rocker shapeshifter named Charlie (Maisie Richardson-Sellers) stop the literal Hell that Astra unleashes on the world in the finale? And what happens when the Legends awaken the original guardians of Time (no, not the Time Masters, sillies, that was season one!) who wish to erase everything the Legends have “screwed up for the better” over the past four seasons?
If you are a football fan, you know how exciting of a time of year it is.

CINDERELLA opens in theaters everywhere on March 13th!
The story of “Cinderella” follows the fortunes of young Ella (Lily James) whose merchant father remarries following the death of her mother. Eager to support her loving father, Ella welcomes her new stepmother (Cate Blanchett) and her daughters Anastasia (Holliday Grainger) and Drisella (Sophie McShera) into the family home. But, when Ella’s father unexpectedly passes away, she finds herself at the mercy of a jealous and cruel new family. Finally relegated to nothing more than a servant girl covered in ashes, and spitefully renamed Cinderella, Ella could easily begin to lose hope. Yet, despite the cruelty inflicted upon her, Ella is determined to honor her mother’s dying words and to “have courage and be kind.” She will not give in to despair nor despise those who mistreat her. And then there is the dashing stranger she meets in the woods. Unaware that he is really a prince, not merely an apprentice at the Palace, Ella finally feels she has met a kindred soul. It appears her fortunes may be about to change when the Palace sends out an open invitation for all maidens to attend a ball, raising Ella’s hopes of once again encountering the charming Kit (Richard Madden). Alas, her stepmother forbids her to attend and callously rips apart her dress. But, as in all good fairy tales, help is at hand, and a kindly beggar woman (Helena Bonham-Carter) steps forward and – armed with a pumpkin and a few mice – changes Cinderella’s life forever.
A live-action feature inspired by the classic fairy tale, “Cinderella” brings to life the timeless images from Disney’s 1950 animated masterpiece as fullyealized characters in a visually dazzling spectacle for a whole new generation.
Directed by Academy Award®-nominee Kenneth Branagh (“Thor,” “Hamlet”) and starring Academy Award-winner Cate Blanchett (“Blue Jasmine,” “Elizabeth”), Lily James (“Downton Abbey”), Richard Madden (“Game of Thrones”) and Academy Award-nominee Helena Bonham-Carter (“The King’s Speech,” “Alice in Wonderland”), “Cinderella” is produced by Simon Kinberg (“X-Men: Days of Future Past,” “Elysium”), Allison Shearmur (“The Hunger Games: Catching Fire”) and David Barron (“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows”). The screenplay is by Chris Weitz (“About a Boy,” “The Golden Compass”).
“Cinderella” will be released through Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures on March 13, 2015.

I remember the first time I went car shopping to buy my first car. My wife and I had been married for a bit and one of our cars had recently gotten into an accident (not our fault). Our car shopping process ended up getting placed into overdrive and we had to start looking everywhere. We looked online, in local car selling magazines (as this was before Ebay and Craigslist). J-Mom and I did do our research online through cars.com (as the site was active) and by talking to people at car dealerships too. We looked at a lot and came to decide upon buying a 2002 Ford Escape. While the vehicle we found was used, it was in great shape and had everything we were looking for, so we were definitely happy with the find, and the price.
We have had this vehicle for the past eleven years and it has been a great vehicle. It currently has over 140,000 miles on it. Saying this, I have recently started to look for a new vehicle to replace this one. I drive a bit to work every day and this vehicle just does not get the gas millage that I want. Also, so many cars of a similar make are getting such better gas millage now that I really want to make sure that I am getting this too and thus saving money on gas in the long run.
In jumping into this search my wife and I followed a very similar pattern as the time when we purchased the Escape so many years ago. We looked online (even more than before) and did go out and check out the cars we liked at the dealer too. We went back and forth on whether to purchase new/used or lease. We ended up deciding on purchasing a new car (even though I have to be indebted to anyone).
We also explored many different makes and models. There are a number of ones that I could be happy in, so at this time, though I have yet to select a car, we still are having a tin of fun trying out cars as well as learning more about them too. Now, I have to take the time to learn even more and start to decide things like: Do I buy foreign or domestic; car safety; cost, room inside the vehicle, standard features versus optional upgrades and other things like this!
I am so looking forward to the day when I too have a new car that I can call my own!
As I am going through this car search I am having some fun too with the Cars.com newcarface contest. This is a fun contest that allows you to show your new car face with everyone. There are some very cool examples from other people that have entered the cars.com contest that might even give you some motivation as you take your own #newcarface photo! So enter today and see for yourself, it is so much fun!
