Hidden Talents and a Giant Surprise

Step-by-Step Guide to Converting Home Movies into DVDs
In the last 17 1/2 years since I got married and had kids, I’ve gathered up quite an extensive collection of home movies.

Tim Burton’s Frankenweenie – Fun Facts About the Movie
Frankenweenie is totally Tim Burton and completely one-of-a-kind all in the same breath. I admit that it wasn’t on my must-see movie radar…until I saw an extended sneak peek of the movie and talked with the Producer Allison Abbate when I was in LA last month. Frankenweenie opens in spectacular Disney 3D on October 5…
