SPOILERS FOR AVATAR in this podcast!
We went to see the movie “Avatar” in IMAX 3D, so I got John and the kids to discuss it with me while we were going over the river and through the woods to my grandmother’s house on Christmas Eve. The audio is not great, but I hope the fun content make it worthwhile. The kids really had a lot of good observations about the movie,and you get John’s philosophical take of the story. Also, check out this promo for the Friends in Tech Geek Christmas Story (in which I play the Mom)! And please have wonderful holidays!
Don’t forget to check out the 365 Days of Astronomy Podcast! We had a new show that went up on Dec. 8 about Kuiper Belt Objects!

The Tales of the Rad Panda – The Crime Cabal.
A book review by Darcy Low.
From the back of the book: “Even the united remnants of Toronto’s defeated underworld couldn’t resist the city’s masked protectors. But when they join with the murderous might of some of the masked man’s deadliest foes, can even the Red Panda match the strength of the Crime Cabal?”

Hi Guys,
Getting back to my reviews. This time around I got a great book that tells a old story, (or one that has been told before.) But in a very different way. I think you are going to like it. Many thanks to Summer for pointing my towards this series and the writer.
Worldweavers- Gift of the Unmage.
From the back of the book.

Instead, she has spent the last 17 years trying desperately to achieve something, anything, in her Ars Magica class at school. Thea has learned to live with her older brothers’ jokes about her lack of abilities, but what she cannot face is the look in her father’s eyes each time she tries to do magic and fails.

Hey guys!
Okay it’s time for me to get back to writing you up some reviews. Sorry I had to take some time off for the holidays and getting gifts for people. Hope you all had a great thanksgiving and a even better Christmas. My first review here is of a dvd I got from my Uncle Dave. He knows how much I love a good story and a great movie. This one fills the bill on both counts, you’re going like this one.
The Empress and the Warriors – A DVD review by Darcy Low
From the back of the DVD. ” In the tradition of Seven Swords comes the action saga of a kingdom locked in a desperate battle survival. Martial arts superstar Donnie Yen (Seven Swords)and Hong Kong film award winners Kelly Chen (Infernal Affairs) and Leon Lai (Seven Swords) team up as sword welding heroes on a quest to united a divided nation and wage a massive war against an invading horde. Created by the celebrated action choreographer and cinematographer behind Jet Li’s Hero and House of the Flying Daggers, An Empress and the Warriors takes epic action to new heights.”

I also include a quick review of Dungeons and Dragons Online- with the best price point of any game – FREE! We also have a voicemail show coming soon, so feel free to send in your comments!
