Review: Despicable Me 2

July 31, 2013 By Brian Mohsenian Leave a Comment

Crew standing with his arms crossed and many Minions in the backgroundBest family movie and funniest animated film of the summer!

Those cute little yellow guys are everywhere, and make Despicable Me 2 such a fun film for all ages! The rambunctious and unpredictable Minions, along with their evil master Crew and the children he has adopted, make for a funny and heartwarming film.

Doing extremely well at its release, the Universal animated sequel took in $82.5 million during opening weekend. It completely trounced Disney’s The Lone Ranger. While perhaps a surprise at the box office, it will be no surprise when this film becomes a favorite of this hot vacation season.

Although full of all the characters we grew to love from the first film, Despicable Me 2 is nothing like its predecessor. The first film introduced us to Crew and his plans for becoming the evil mastermind, one-upping another evil villain known as Vector. The first film ended in a warm and happy way that showed Crew’s good side. What started out as an nasty trick to infiltrate his enemy’s lair, turned out to be best decision Crew ever made as he finally accepted his growing love for his newly adopted children.

The storyline from the original Despicable Me made for a nice transition to this next film. In Despicable Me 2, the same caring but still evil Crew is now retired from the wicked mastermind business, and is trying to become more of a family man. Unexpectedly, however, a mysterious woman captures Crew for surprising reasons, and swiftly pulls him right back into the center of all the action.

With well-known actors, such as Steve Carrell, Kristen Wiig, Miranda Cosgrove and Russell Brand playing the voices for these lovable characters, this movie is a hit. It’s an adventure full of love, secret agents, salsa, jam and both crazy purple and yellow Minions. Despicable Me 2 will leave you happily-surprised that a sequel could be as good, if not better, than it’s predecessor.

Get to Know Your Parks Series: Mequon Community Park

July 23, 2013 By Elizabeth Braatz Leave a Comment

View of Mequon Community Park with trees, picnic tables and playgroundRead a book, slide and swim. The Mequon Community Park is a vital resource for our community, as it links the Mequon-Thiensville library, public pool, Ozaukee Interurban Trail and a fantastic park for families.

Picture this fun summer day . . .

Meet your friends and their kids at the Mequon Community Park for a playdate on the tot pirate ship playground. Munch peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for lunch at one of the shaded picnic tables. Then, walk across the lawn to the Frank L. Weyenberg Library for Story Time and some coloring in the kids’ room.

Next on the agenda . . .

Splash and swim in the Mequon Community Pool, conveniently located just across the parking lot from the library. Hungry kids? The Dive Snack Stand adjacent to the pool is the perfect place for a mid-afternoon ice cream treat.

And, if you still have some time and energy . . .

Catch a baseball game at Rennicke Field, where teams from all over Mequon and Thiensville come to play ball.

Location, Location, Location

This 16 acre park is located right next to Mequon City Hall just off of Cedarburg Road. It’s a central meeting area for many residents and a perfect place to meet a friend for a chat. It’s also a popular spot for a birthday party. The kids can play, have cake and ice cream at the picnic tables — and, you don’t have the hassle of hosting anything at your home.

The Mequon Community Park is also a great in-between destination for runners with young kids. Put your child(ren) in a jogger, hop on the Ozaukee Interurban Trail (which runs right behind the park) and run over to the park to play. When you’re done, run home. You get your workout and the kids get their playtime.

There’s no other park in Mequon which offers this many activities in such close proximity — the Weyenburg Library, Mequon’s Community Pool, Rennicke Baseball Field, Ozaukee Interurban Bike Trail and the park itself. You name it. This park has a lot to offer Mequon families and children, especially during our beautiful summer season.

The Best Way to Cool Off This Summer: The Mequon Pool

July 18, 2013 By Brian Mohsenian Leave a Comment

Mequon pool with lifeguard on tower watching swimmersGrab your swimsuit and goggles. The Mequon Community Pool is open and in full swing for the summer!

It’s not as fancy as the newly renovated River Club Pool. Nor does it have the water spouts and slippery slides like the pool in Cedarburg. But, what our Mequon Community Pool does have is convenience, low cost and social cache. It is THE place to meet your school friends and reconnect during those hot and humid summer days.

Not One but Two Pools

The Mequon Pool is actually two pools. The large main pool includes a shallow and deep end, two diving boards the kids can’t seem to stay off of, and a swimmer’s lane for those who want a healthy cardio workout.

In a separate enclosure, just feet away from the main pool, there’s a zero-depth kidd pool that accommodates parents and their toddler swimmers.

Top-Notch Lifeguards

With a kind and personal staff, the Mequon Community pool does a great job providing a safe and carefree environment. There are usually four trained lifeguards on duty at a time, with one dedicated to working the kiddy pool. Rules are strictly enforced. No running, no flotation devices and no leaping from the diving boards until the swimmer in front of you has cleared the area.

On hot summer days, the pool is flooded with kids. But don’t worry . . . there’s always Adult Swim. During certain times of the day, lifeguards will clear the pool of anyone under 18 and adults can cool off for a bit without having to worry about the little ones.

The Dive for Snacks

After taking a dip, stop by The Dive, a mobile snack bar just outside the pool entrance. They offer tasty grub and icy drinks, but most people come for the 24 flavors of ice cream. In a dish or on a cone, nothing beats a cold creamy frozen dessert after a hot day at the pool. Choose your favorite treat (mine’s an ice cold root beer float) and relax at the picnic tables just outside the pool.

Reasonable Prices

The prices for the pool are really quite reasonable. For Mequon residents ages 3-12 it’s $3.50 daily, and for ages 13 and above, it’s $4.50. Thiensville residents pay a bit more. Anyone under the age of 3 is free.

The real money saver for Mequon families is the $100 Family Pass which covers all family members to age 18. Thiensville families pay $135.

The hot and humid days of the season are here for a while, so stay cool and enjoy all that the Mequon Community Pool has to offer! Open seven days a week, 12:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. from June to late August, when most of the college-aged lifeguards head back to school.

Superman Brings New Hope

June 29, 2013 By Brian Mohsenian Leave a Comment

Close up of Superman in Man of Steel with cape flowingBringing another great hero story from DC Comics to life, Man of Steel flew into Mequon’s Marcus North Shore Cinema on June 14th.

It raked in a massive $116.6 million, making it the highest weekend gross for the month of June.

Besides The Dark Knight Trilogy and the 2011 Green Lantern film, Superman is only the third DC comic to get a movie reboot, and it did an amazing job at re-introducing the character to a new generation of viewers.  It did so in a new way for Superman; it was dark, more dramatic, and had a much more intense ambience.

In this sense, Man of Steel was very similar to the prominent Dark Knight Trilogy, also produced by Christopher Nolan. I personally have a deep appreciation and admiration for Nolan’s work and I am hoping that he will have a hand in all the DC Comic films yet to come.

Starting out as an origin film, Man of Steel really focuses on Cal El’s (aka Superman’s) childhood, revealing how and why he came to Earth from Krypton, his home planet.  For me, the beginning of the film was so powerful and inspiring. We witness the struggle Cal goes through, growing up as Clark Kent trying to fit in as a human when he is obviously not of this world.  He wants to be normal, wants to fit in, yet he needs to accept who he is and what he was sent to Earth to do.

As Superman is just beginning to understand his world and his place in it, one of his greatest enemies starts to tear it all down around him. General Zod, another Kryptonian almost as powerful as Superman, arrives to retrieve something he believes was taken from him when Cal left Krypton.  General Zod desires to make a new Krypton out of Earth and in the process, destroy all humans. Superman has a choice to make — between the world he knows and the world he comes from. The hero in him must emerge if he is to save this world from annihilation and become the symbol of hope for all mankind.

Henry Cavill, an upcoming actor and soon to be big star, does an incredible job playing the humble but courageous Superman.  A little known actor as of yet, this role is sure to take Cavill’s career to a new level.

The adept Russell Crowe plays the wise Jor-El, Superman’s father, and Michael Shannon is the sadistic, evil General Zod.  The beautiful Amy Adams as the iconic love of Superman, Lois Lane, makes for some very emotional scenes between the two in the midst of all the action.

Zack Snyder, the film’s director, was clearly trying hard to not do the regular, cliché Superman story. Still, the film had some original Superman characteristics to it, adding to its success.  Snyder brought Superman down a notch, and really made him seem human and more vulnerable than other films’ depictions of the hero.

Some critics have problems with some of the transitional scenes between the exhilarating action and spectacle that it provides.  And although I do understand their commentary, I will say this: Man of Steel blew the most recent reboot, the 2006 Superman Returns, out of the water! Hands down, Man of Steel is the best Superman film yet. It’s inspirational, dramatic and intense. It really sets the bar high for future Superman films.

Review: Star Trek Into Darkness

June 24, 2013 By Brian Mohsenian Leave a Comment

Star Trek Into Darkness movie banner

“Space; the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. It’s continuing mission – to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations. To boldly go where no man has gone before.”
~ Captain Kirk, Starship Enterprise

And this film definitely goes, in epic proportions, to where no Star Trek film has gone before!

For original Star Trek fans, such as myself, this film was a spectacle of the series, something to truly enjoy and relate to. I was overwhelmed with the film from start to finish. There were many connections to past subjects of the original series such as humorous references to classic creatures. Leonard Nimoy, from the original series, made yet another appearance as Spock. It’s nostalgic and poetic to have him in these new films.

As the plot unfolds, those of us Star Trek geeks realize the movie takes place before the original series begins. We are introduced to Captain Kirk, his crew and a villain known as Khan. None of the Star Trek fleet know about Khan, or his crew, and do not know what to expect. Kahn may not be what he seems, and may just turn out to be the critical factor in the fate of the Enterprise . . . you will have to see the film and find out for yourself.

If you have not seen the original series nor any of the Star Trek films from the 80’s, you’ll be especially surprised with the many sharp twists and turns in this exciting film’s plot. It will keep you on the edge of your seat the entire night.

Although violent, Star Trek: Into Darkness is a movie for all ages, sure to entertain the young and the old. Full of action, suspense and humor, this science fiction gem can appeal to just about any demographic and be exciting for any viewer — especially if seen in 3D. You’ll feel as if you’re right there on the Enterprise going at warp speeds, in the midst of battle, dodging phaser beams and fighting for Starfleet Command with Kirk and his crew.

I recommend the film for everyone to see. It’s an adventure you do not want to miss out on!

The Best Date Night on the Big Screen

June 17, 2013 By Elizabeth Braatz Leave a Comment

Zaffiro's front view in Mequon at North Shore Marcus TheatreHow hard is it to get out without your kids? It’s almost impossible, especially when they are really young.

If you are looking for something special to do as a couple when you can steal a moment away, consider dinner and a movie. Marcus North Shore Cinema, located on North Port Washington Road, has transformed into quite the destination. In addition to the 11 newly refurbished auditoriums and the 3 story tall UltraScreen®, Marcus North Shore has several fantastic dining options.

Picture this . . . while the babysitter is home with your kids, you’re in Zaffiro’s, the popular Italian restuarant adjacent to the Marcus North Shore Cinema lobby. You’re settled into a cozy booth sharing a large “E.B.F.” (“Everything but Fish (Anchovies)”) pizza featuring Zaffiro’s impossibly thin and outrageously crunchy crust. For dessert, there’s Molly’s Guinness Cake, a chocolate cake made with Guinness stout and served with a scoop of vanilla Häagen-Dazs® ice cream.

When dinner is over, you head upstairs to the Take Five Cocktails & Lounge to savor one last glass of wine before the movie begins. Take Five is specifically for lounging; there are comfortable couches and over-stuffed chairs set in intimate groupings. The perfect place for pre or post movie drinks and conversation. There’s nothing better and the cost of this evening won’t send you over the edge.

Upscale Concessions

Running late and there’s no time to sit down and eat before your movie date? Not to worry . . .

Now you can enjoy a pizza, salad, sandwich or dessert during the movie. The Marcus concession stand features food straight from Zaffiro’s kitchen. Just step right up and order.

If you’re looking for something light, consider the Kitchen Sink Salad, with mushrooms, onions, green peppers, black olives, tomatoes, pepperoncini and mozzarella cheese on a bed of iceberg with Italian dressing. Or, try the Meatball Torpedo, a French baguette stuffed with four meatballs, topped with parmesan cheese and served with a side of marinara. Zaffiro’s Express Menu is specifically geared for those who want to grab a bite to take into the theatre. Of course, the concession stand also serves traditional movie-going fare like popcorn, slushies and Junior Mints.

So, next time you pony up for that babysitter and head out for a date, consider Marcus North Shore Cinema. With Zaffiro’s, Take Five Cocktails & Lounge and plenty of movie options, it’s the perfect one stop date night extravaganza.

Epic: A 3D Dive Into the Natural World

June 10, 2013 By Brian Mohsenian Leave a Comment

Line of animated characters from the movie EpicNot being a huge fan of animated films myself, I was a little hesitant to comply when my 10 year old sister asked me to see the new release Epic at our own Marcus North Shore Theater. And although the trailers looked promising, it still seemed like a movie solely targeted at children. Reluctantly, I did agree to go and was happy that I did so; the film was fantastic.

Loosely based on William Joyce’s children’s book The Leaf Men and the Brave Good Bugs, Epic is about a girl named Mary Katherine who loses her mother, and is forced to go live with her father. Her father is an eccentric but smart inventor who strongly believes in an advanced society of little people who live in the forest. These little people move far too fast for humans to see. Mary Katherine’s father will stop at nothing to prove that they exist. Soon enough, Mary Katherine is sucked into her father’s work more than she ever thought she would be, going on an adventure of a lifetime.

Packed with action, this animated film was very realistic in its humanistic appearance of the non-human characters. The characters were fun and humorous, and with a great cast of well-known actors, such as Beyoncé, Josh Hutcherson, Amanda Seyfried, Colin Farrell and Christoph Waltz executing the voice-overs. The film does a creative and colorful job incorporating nature and living creatures, and is especially vivid in how nature takes its course in a forest. It really brought life to the screen, especially when seen in 3D.

The film surely puts things in perspective when it comes to humans and their involvement in the natural order. I think the meaning behind this film is an important one, especially for children to begin learning, and for adults to be reminded of, just how precious and vulnerable nature can be.

For an animated children’s film, Epic covered a lot of different aspects that make a film well rounded and very entertaining for all ages. It’s a great film to take the whole family to see, and one the kids will really enjoy. Epic possesses such a refreshing element and a silver lining that will open the eyes of any viewer to the wonders of nature.

Indoor Playland With All the Bells and Whistles

May 31, 2013 By Elizabeth Braatz Leave a Comment

Boy and girl playing at table in play centerIt is often a parent’s worst nightmare . . . it’s 3 p.m. on a snowy day in mid-February and your child hasn’t taken take their regular nap. Everyone’s a little stir-crazy. What are you going to do?

There have been many days like this for local Mequon moms and fortunately there’s a little secret in our community that is great for just such situations – the Logemann Community Family Playcenter.

Located just inside the Logemann Community Center on Mequon Road (across from Piggly Wiggly), this play area is a child’s dream-come-true. There’s something for every child’s interest. For the dramatic, there’s a mini kitchen, dress up clothing, tap shoes, baby dolls and toy strollers. For the builders, there’s Lego, wooden blocks, marble tracks and a train table. Plus, there’s a safe tot area for the pre-walkers.

For parents, there is plush seating and wifi. So while your children play, you can relax, read a magazine or check your email. For working parents, it is a great place to get things done while your children are entertained and contained.

History

The Logemann Community Family Playcenter was once home to Pride and Joy Preschool run by Joni Monfre. Unfortunately, Monfre was diagnosed with cancer in 2011 and had to formally close her operation. At that point, the Logemann Community Center Board of Advisors opened up the playcenter to the public. Monfre is now cancer-free and has returned to serve as the activities director. She’s an integral part of the playcenter, overseeing its day-to-day operations including birthday parties and private events.

Bonus Features

Outside of play time, the Logemann Community Family Playcenter is home to a weekly story time with Miss Joyce and Mooshie (formerly of Next Chapter Bookstore), art classes, music time and gatherings by local nonprofits, such as the MOMS Club of Mequon. Monfre also opens up the large, main room of the center for kids to ride outdoor toys, especially during the colder, winter days. She calls it the “Running Room”, and encourages little ones to get their sillies out by running, riding toys and engaging with others.

Funding & Membership Fees

The Family Playcenter recently had a re-launch called “Say Yah to Play” to raise awareness about its amenities and need for donations. Since the center is a nonprofit, it relies soley on donations and membership dues to stay afloat. There are several ways to join.

  • An annual family membership for unlimited vists costs $120 for Mequon-Thiensville residents and $150 for non-residents. You can pay upfront or opt for monthly auomatic payments to your credit card.
  • Alternatively, you can “Pay As You Play” on a daily basis. Cost is $4 per child per visit for Mequon-Thiensville residents and $6 per child per visit for non-residents. Babies up to 6 months are free. There’s an easy iPad check-in system that makes paying by credit card stress-free.

Regardless of the payment option you choose, the price to play is lower than other comparable playcenters located in the North Shore area.

If you have not had the opportunity to visit this Mequon gem, do so now. Your children will love the fun activities and you’ll love the break, especially on those snowy February winter days.

Splash Into Summer Fun at the JCC

May 29, 2013 By Elizabeth Braatz Leave a Comment

Girl in swimming pool holding on to edge with tennis ballThere are many options for swimming during the summer in Mequon. Whether you’re a member at one of the country clubs or frequent the Mequon Community Pool, you have plenty of choices for splashing around. However, do you want somewhere exceptional to swim with your kids?

Look no further than the Jewish Community Center (JCC) Water Park hidden behind the Sarah Chudnow Center, just off Mequon Road. This luxury pool is available to JCC members only, but you may find the water park to be so great, that a membership is in your future. In fact, a JCC membership gives you access to first-class fitness classes (spinning, yoga, personal training to name a few), fantastic youth sports programs, adult events and, of course, an awesome water park.

The Hy & Richard Smith JCC Water Park opens the beginning of each June and closes just after Labor Day. And there’s something for every water-loving member in your family.

  • A safe, zero-entry splash pad for the little ones, where they can experience the water without the intimidation of the older kids
  • An activity island with slides and spurting water fountains to cool you off
  • Water basketball hoops, water walk lily pads and a climbing wall
  • Plenty of space for lane and open swim. There’s special time dedicated to adult lap swim too.

Other Amenities

If swimming is not on your agenda for the day, try out the full-sized basketball court, sand volleyball court, tetherball, ga-ga pit. Or just relax in the sun under an umbrella.

One of the kid highlights, of course, is the full-service snack shop which offers pizza, pretzels, hummus, veggies & dip and New York-style kosher hot dogs — (somewhat) healthy, yummy and convenient. The JCC also hosts swim events for tots, corn roasts, face painting, basketball tournaments, ice cream socials, dodge ball and so many more fun things.

Summer Birthday?

Sometimes it’s hard to find a destination that is perfect for a summer party for your kids. The JCC Water Park is a great place to have a birthday bash for any water-loving kid. Their 2 hour party packages vary in price (from $180 up) and usually include your own private party room, an ice cream cake with candles, paper goods and soft drinks for up to 12 children. Plus, the bonus is the fun-loving staff who run the birthday activities for the kids.
