Universal Pictures Home Entertainment provided ageekdaddy.com with a free Blu-ray of COPSHOP
Arriving on Blu-ray and DVD today is COPSHOP a shoot 'em up style thriller filled with shocking twists and turns that take audiences on an exciting journey with non-stop action and intense stunts from start to finish. Rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for strong/bloody violence and pervasive language, COPSHOP has been "Certified Fresh" on Rotten Tomatoes. Directed by Joe Carnahan (A-Team), the movie stars Gerard Butler (Greenland; Angel Has Fallen) and Frank Grillo (The Grey; The Purge: Anarchy).
Screaming through the Neveda desert in a bullet-ridden Crown Vic, wily con artist Teddy Murretto (Grillo) hatches a desperate plan to hide out from lethal hitman Bob Viddick (Butler). Murretto sucker-punches rookie officer Valerie Young (Alexis Louder) to get himself arrested and locked up in a small-town police station. But jail can't protect him for long; Viddick schemes his own way into detention, biding his time in a nearby cell until he can complete his mission. When the arrival of a competing assassin (Toby Huss) ignites all-out mayhem, mounting threats force Viddick to get creative if he wants to finish the job and escape the explosive situation.

If you've read the Harry Potter novels or seen the movies, you must have dreamed of taking a ride for yourself on the Hogwarts Express to get to the fabled school of witchcraft and wizardry that these stories revolve around. My kids were so geeked to be able to ride this steam engine during a visit to the theme parks at Universal Orlando Resort. All aboard for a Harry Potter themed train ride!
Universal Orlando Resort has created a trolley that replicates the Hogwarts Express from J.K. Rowling's Wizarding World of Harry Potter. While it looks like a great big locomotive this is actually an electric powered cable car that transports riders between two of the resort's theme parks (Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure). Thanks to the magic of special effects though riders are provided with the look and feel of going on a train ride across the English countryside.
Your ticket to riding the Hogwarts Express is purchasing multi-park passes so you can visit both Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure theme parks in Orlando, Florida on the same day. Without the multi-park pass you can visit either Diagon Alley (Universal Studios) or Hogwarts Castle (Islands of Adventure) in the theme park you have passes for but you can't traverse between the two via a Harry Potter train ride. So if you want to ride the Hogwarts Express be prepared to visit both Universal Orlando Resort theme parks in the same day.
You can hop on the train from either King Cross Station or the Hogsmeade Station located in the village at the base of Hogwarts Castle. I recommend starting off in Universal Studios because it provides the most immersive experience to make Harry Potter fans feel as if they are part of the Wizarding World and replicates the pattern of events from the stories. Pay a visit to Diagon Alley to get your school supplies and some delicious snacks. Then disappear into Platform 9 ¾ to catch a ride on the Hogwarts Express.
A lot of people miss this special effect but you can actually take pictures and videos of walking through a brick wall to catch the train. For those not paying attention it appears you are just walking through a hallway on your way to the train platform. But between markers for Platform 9 and 10 is a nook off to the side of the ride queue line that provides a view of people walking through a brick wall to get to Platform 9 ¾. If you snooze you lose so don't miss out on this magical photo op available at the Kings Cross Station. Remember if you only have time to ride the train once during your visit and depart from Islands of Adventure going to Universal Studios there won't be a chance to have your own Platform 9 ¾ moment.
Here are a few other interesting tidbits about the Kings Cross Station at Universal Studios theme park in Orlando. Pre-pandemic there would be street musicians entertaining folks in the queue lines just like you might come across in a real London train station. Hopefully they will return when things get back to normal. Plus the train schedule posted at Kings Cross Station with actual scheduled travel routes taking place that day in England. Oh and keep an eye out for an animatronic Hedwig while waiting to board the train to Hogwarts.
Once you are on the Hogwarts Express you can look at the window to view a fantasy landscape go by. The windows are actually video screens that make it seem as if you are a part of a Harry Potter story. Pulling out from the urban train station Hedwig the Owl soars down to fly next to the train as it rumbles through neighborhoods of London townhouses.
As the owl flies off, Dementors begin chasing the train for a scary experience. Passengers dodge them though as the train goes through a tunnel. Then comes some comic relief when Arthur Weasley’s car, the Flying Ford Anglia, crashes in front of your eyes. Finally Hagrid zooms in on his motorbike to escort you into the train station as you are provided a view of Hogwarts Castle in the distance. Exit the train for fun experiences at the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry including what has become my favorite ride at these theme parks Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure roller coaster.
Guess what?! If you head back on the train to Kings Cross Station there is different imagery to take in through your passenger cabin windows. As you depart Hogsmeade Station, Hagrid is on the platform waving goodbye and then Buckbeak flies by the train. The Weasley twins escort you for awhile and provide a fireworks show. Then the Knight Bus whizzes about the train to guide you into the London station.
Don't just look out the windows during the entire ride though. Because if you look at the door to your train compartment during your trip it is likely you will see the shadows of Harry, Ron and Hermione as they walk by. Listen closely and you can even eavesdrop on their conversation. Harry Potter fans are sure to appreciate this close encounter with these characters as if they were really right next to you.
Yes it cost some extra money to take a Harry Potter train ride but the smiles and sounds of delight from my children made it absolutely worthwhile. They were ecstatic about our Hogwarts Express experience. It really made them feel like they were part of the Wizarding World as they sat with their wands out ready to ward off any Dementors or Death Eaters that might slip onto the train. If you have friends or family who are big Harry Potter fans like my kids are they will be geeked to take part in this train ride.

LEGO Dimensions has brought together two powerful wizards from very different worlds -- Harry Potter from J.K. Rowling's wizarding realm and Gandalf from Lord of the Rings to introduce its Fantastic Beasts Story Pack in a new Meet That Hero! video.
In the video, the highly respected Gandalf attempts to introduce the main character from the Fantastic Beasts Story Pack, Newt Scamander, but things quickly go awry when no one is able to differentiate Gandalf from his fellow wizard and white-haired doppelganger -- Professor Dumbledore. This is a clear case of mistaken identity that Gandalf the Grey shall not let pass! The video shows off some game play sequences from Fantastic Beasts plus highlights a few of Dimensions' other fantastic beasts including the Velociraptor and Unikitty who find themselves facing off against some creatures, like Niffler, from J.K. Rowling's wizarding world.
These Meet That Hero! videos are always a fun way to learn about new additions to the LEGO Dimensions video game. With many more expansion packs scheduled to come out soon to further enhance LEGO Dimensions keep an eye out for more of these amusing and humorous Meet That Hero! videos to introduce new characters and levels to fans of the video game.

My daughter always has a "berry" good time watching the Strawberry Shortcake videos that are released by Fox Home Entertainment. So when we got our hands on the newest one, "Strawberry Shortcake: Berry Hi-Tech Fashion," she couldn't wait to jump on the couch with her Lemon Meringue rag doll and a bowl of popcorn to enjoy herself watching the DVD. This 66 minute animated presentation is divided into three sweet adventures that have Strawberry Shortcake and her friends showing off their stylish sides while demonstrating the importance of always trying your best in the challenges life throws your way.
When I was a kid, all the girls in my neighborhood collected Strawberry Shortcake dolls that smelled like each character's personality -- blueberry muffin, lemon meringue, raspberry tart, and of course strawberry shortcake. These were all the rage with my sister and all her friends as we grew up in the 80's and now parents can share these same dolls that provided so manygreat playtime memories thanks to The Bridge Direct Inc. They've created special reproductions of these classic dolls from the 1980s that include all the original details -- including their berry sweet scents -- in both the vintage action figure and rag doll designs. These Strawberry Shortcake dolls are available at a variety of retail locations across the United States including Kmart, meijer, RITE AID, Spencer's, Target, Toys R Us, Walgreen's and Walmart.
The Bridge Direct's rag dolls are great for little girls to snuggle while enjoying a Strawberry Shortcake video from Fox Home Entertainment. After watching one of these videos, my daughter likes to reenact or expand upon the adventure she watched on DVD or Digital HD by playing with her classic Strawberry Shortcake dolls. These dolls with the original 1980's design also have some fun accessories available (The Berry Bake Shop, Berry House Playset & Strawberry Shortcake Scooter) which can further immerse children within the world of Strawberry Shortcake as they play.
Children can help Strawberry Shortcake create delicious cakes and pies with The Berry Bake Shop. What treats will your child want to imagine making and baking in the playset's oven with the included mix and match cakes and pies kitchen accessories? A vintage inspired sweet-scented doll is included to inspire kids imaginary baking creations.
Take Strawberry Shortcake's pet cat Custard for a spin around Berry Bitty City in the scooter created for these classic dolls. Safety first so make sure the rider is wearing the included helmet. A Custard cat figure with the strawberry themed scooter. Dolls to ride it must be purchased separately.
Party like it is 1980 with the Strawberry Shortcake Berry House playset. This retro-inspired doll house is not just great for inspiring kids to be creative in playing with their Strawberry Shortcake dolls but is a convenient way to store them as well. It includes party accessories like balloons, cakes and drinks. Plus it comes with a classic Strawberry Shortcake doll in a party dress along with a cat figure of her pet Custard.

During The Toy Insider'sHoliday of Play event unveiling their annual hottest toy selections, each of the members of the Parents Panel were asked to spotlight a favorite toy from the list. My selection is Play Monster'sRoominate Cotton Candy Carnival. I'm a big fan of toys that combine educational components with entertaining elements so that kids are learning and having fun at the same time. Roominate construction kits fit that mark perfectly as they are specifically designed to inspire girls to have an interest in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math) concepts through being able to construct doll houses, vehicles and in the case of theCotton Candy Carnival playset actual working amusement park rides.
Using circuits, motors and modular building pieces, girls can build and
create their own unique and original structures or vehicles that can be
joined together or taken apart and remade into something completely new
and different every time they play with Roominate toys. As the father of a daughter whose aspirations and dreams I want to be limitless these toys that inspire girls creatively and intellectually are appreciated. Roominate construction kits let girls build the world they want to play in!
I had the opportunity to meet Alice Brooks at The Toy Insider's Holiday of Play event, who along with her Stanford roommate Bettina Chen, created Roominate toys. The two engineers met while earning their Master’s degrees and they found that their interest
in engineering had mutually been born out of their love of toys. The two women
created Roominate to inspire girls to maintain an interest in building,
innovating, and learning about the STEM fields as they grow up. They pitched their idea on the television show Shark Tank and gained a new partner in their efforts as Mark Cuban invested in their company. Cuban assisted with selling the women's company to established toy company Play Monster which has established Roominate products as its own designated toy line within the company.
With the Roominate Cotton Candy Carnival, kids can design and build amusement rides for the two included dolls, Bettina and Jenna, to enjoy. An enclosed motor that doesn't allow its parts to be exposed for safety and durability reasons, allows children to build battery a powered functional carousel, giant swing or ferris wheel for Bettina and Jenna to ride on. A personality profile for each of the dolls is also included, which features the
character’s hobbies and favorite foods, as well as favorite scientists
and career aspirations to give girls a nudge towards being interested in a STEM-based field. Stickers are included so that kids can decorate and personalize their Cotton Candy Carnival that in addition to the dolls and amusement rides also allows for a game tent and snack booth to be built.
While Roominate toys are marketed to girls, my son also really enjoyed joining his sister in playing with the Cotton Candy Carnival. This fun carnival theme and demonstrates to kids that, while
riding a ferris wheel or carousel can be fun, so can the experience of
being involved with building these attractions. For introducing STEM topics in an amusing way, the Roominate Cotton Candy Carnival gets gets A Geek Daddy nod of approval.
The Roominate Cotton Candy Carnival is available at Amazon, Fat Brain Toys, Kmart, Toys R Us, Walmart, and through playmonster.com. It requires 2 AAA batteries that are not included. The toy is recommended for children 8 years old and up. From our experience parental involvement may be necessary in assisting younger children with building some of the more advanced projects within Roominate construction kits. In addition to the fun of playing with this motorized toy set, kids will equally appreciate the satisfaction that they built the functioning carnival rides themselves.

Adventure card games can often be daunting and time consuming but that is not the case with 5-MINUTE DUNGEON from the award-winning game publisher Wiggles 3D. In this game, two-to-five players join together as fantastic heroes to battle monsters and overcome obstacles as they must conquer a dungeon and defeat a level boss within 5 minutes. There are five dungeon levels to choose from and with randomly selected cards determining the encounters and challenges faced each time you play the game it is a unique, entertaining experience. With easy to grasp rules and a short time span, 5-MINUTE DUNGEON is a great way to have fun with family and friends.
I liked that instead of competing against one another, players have fun cooperating with one another working together for a victory. It was really great to have my kids spending time having fun working together instead of feuding when playing a game. The game doesn't drag on as the five minute time limit to complete a dungeon level has players racing against the clock. With no time to form a carefully-considered plan, and no
predicting what dangers lie ahead, communication and teamwork are the
name of the game, crucial to surviving the 5-MINUTE DUNGEON. The great artwork and humorous illustrations for the creatures and obstacles you'll encounter in the dungeons such as "A Cactus That Wants a Hug," "The Carpal Tunnel," and "An Overpriced Merchant," also provide a light-hearted, giggly atmosphere. I'm sure you'll enjoy playing this game as much as my family has so I'd encourage you to check out Wiggles 3D Kickstarter campaign that is launching on November 1, 2016 to support distribution of the game.
The Kickstarter campaign rewards financial backers with access to Early Bird Copies like the one A Geek Daddy received, Collector Editions, exclusive content and more. As the campaign proceeds, Kickstarter contributors will also unlock some great stretch goals which include linen-coated cards, high-quality game mats, and collectible figurines. Contribution levels range from $5 for a print-and-play copy of the game to $26.25 for a Standard Edition of the game that also includes all the stretch goals unlocked during the campaign to $45 for the Standard Edition + a Dungeon Master Edition which will have a more stylish box and higher quality components. This really is an affordable Kickstarter campaign to participate in for a great product.
To start off 5-MINUTE DUNGEON each player selects a hero character that has its own card mat, special attributes, and deck of symbol and action cards. Which will you choose to play as?
Next pick a Dungeon level to play and place its mat on the table with door cards stacked on top of it. Flip over the top door card and start the timer! You have 5 minutes to defeat every monster, person or obstacle that lurk on the other side of the door cards....plus the dungeon boss too!
Defeat each door card by matching the symbols on it with symbols printed on the cards in players hands selected from their hero's deck. Or instead of a symbol card you may want to use one of your action cards which depending on its special feature may allow a player to instantly defeat a monster or overcome an obstacle.
There are NO TURNSsoanyone can play the cards needed to
defeat the challenge presented by a door card. After you’ve dealt with all the door cards, it’s time to take on the big
boss himself whose symbols players need to match are displayed at the bottom of a Dungeon mat.
In Dungeon Level 1 for example, you have to battle Baby Barbarian! Bosses take a lot more resources to
defeat than any door card. Once the big boss has been defeated the dungeon has been conquered and you can play it again or move up to dungeons with a higher level of difficulty. To stay on track with the 5 minute deadline, there is a FREE timer app available on both iOS and Android as an accessory to the game.
You WIN if your team conquers a dungeon. There are three ways though the dungeon can get the best of your party. If time runs out before your team defeats the Dungeon Boss, if all the players during the game run out of cards, or if your party is unable to match the symbols of a door card in the dungeon and cannot use a hero ability or action card to move past it then you LOSE the game. Well actually no one really loses because even if you can't conquer the dungeon everyone will still enjoy having a fantastic time playing this game.
I really recommend 5-MINUTE DUNGEON as a family game night selection or for kids to play with their friends because it is a short, fast-paced, exciting game where you won't have to worry about children getting bored or losing their attention span with. Great for casual gamers and advanced players alike, you are sure to have a good time battling your way through the humor-filled fantasy world of 5-Minute Dungeon. To learn more about this adrenaline-fueled adventure card game, please visit 5MinuteDungeon.com and I truly hope that you'll consider supporting Wiggle 3D's Kickstarter campaign.

The newest installment of the popular children's video game franchise SKYLANDERS® arrived on store shelves this week! Toys for Bob, the company that develops SKYLANDERS for distribution by Activision Publishing Inc., annually introduces new characters and elements to expand upon the game play continuously making it bigger and better than the previous installments. SKYLANDERS IMAGINATORS allows players to unleash their imaginations like never before by for the first time giving them the power to customize and create their very own Skylander that can be played as a primary character in an all-new adventure that features compelling storylines, puzzles, battles, and a new lineup of heroes and villains.
Portal Masters, as SKYLANDERS players are known as, can utilize the game's Skylander Creator option to design their own personalized characters with an extraordinary amount of options for available powers, abilities, catchphrases, appearances, and much more. The make your own Skylander characters, which are called Imaginators, can be saved on Creation Crystals. A Creation Crystal comes with the SKYLANDERS IMAGINATORS starter pack and additional ones can be purchased separately. Players can create one Imaginator character per Creation Crystal.
SKYLANDERS hasn't abandoned its Toys-to-Life figures, that have always been a sensation with fans of the video game franchise, for Creation Crystals though. The game will also feature a variety of toy-to-life figures for a new character class called Senseis, that like the Creation Crystals, can be purchased separately from the SKYLANDERS IMAGINATORS starter pack and incorporated into game play as primary characters. Each Sensei is a master of one of 10 powerful Battle Classes (e.g., Knight, Sorcerer, Brawler and more). Being the master of these Battle Classes, only Senseis have the ability to unleash Sky-Chi – the ultimate Battle Class super move. Skylanders Senseis have a master-to-apprentice relationship with newly created Imaginator Skylanders. This is supported in-game through the Sensei unlocking of unique Imaginator weapons, the increase of Imaginator level caps, providing access to special areas in the game, as well as the unlocking of new Secret Techniques for Imaginators of the same class.
Skylanders Senseis include 20 new characters and 11 former villains, including Kaos and the return of Crash Bandicoot and Dr. Neo Cortex. SKYLANDERS IMAGINATORS also has an all-new Crash Bandicoot-inspired level -- Thumpin’ Wumpa Islands -- which is steeped in nostalgic gameplay that will be appealing, especially to moms and dads who many were probably kids themselves when Badicoot first appeared in a video game, for getting the whole family interested in playing together. Thumpin’ Wumpa Islands is packed with TNT boxes, crabs, hazards, temple ruins, Wumpa Fruit, exploding crates and more. It also includes special Crash Zones that bring back the classic massive boulder chases from the original Crash games. The Thumpin’ Wumpa Islands level will be available to players who purchase the SKYLANDERS IMAGINATORS Starter Pack featuring Crash Bandicoot for PlayStation consoles at launch and will be available as an add-on adventure pack for everyone else available during the holiday shopping season.
This incredible box just arrived at our house! Activision generously sent A Geek Daddy a SKYLANDERS IMAGINATORS starter pack along with a great selection of Senseis and Creation Crystals for my kids to have fun playing with. To say my kids are enthusiastic to start playing the new SKYLANDERS IMAGINATORS video game would be an understatement!
SKYLANDERS IMAGINATORS is compatible with PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and Nintendo Wii U. Parents who have purchased toys-to-life figures for previous editions of the game will also be pleased to know SKYLANDERS IMAGINATORS supports the 300+ character toys from all previous Skylanders games -- including Skylanders SuperChargers, Skylanders Trap Team, Skylanders SWAP Force, Skylanders Giants and Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure -- that kids can enjoy both as toys to play with in the real-world as well as characters they can use in the virtual game world.
