Last night to defuse a rising tantrum from my over-tired 5-year-old, I paused and said, “Do you know who I got to talk to on the phone with this afternoon?” And he said, “Who?” I said, “‘Belle’. From Beauty and the Beast. Isn’t that cool?” And I went on to tell him the (somewhat completely made-up fairytale) story of how [...]
Disney has released their entire movie lineup for 2012 and I’m going to give you a sneaky peek at it! I’m excited about it! They have something for you almost every month, so here’s the roundup followed by my extra-special commentary on each one. There are some amazing looking movies on here, along with some classics. January 13: BEAUTY AND [...]
The epic film adaptation of the children’s novel ”War Horse,” directed by Steven Spielberg, was released on Christmas Day and it truly is a must-see. The plot seems so simple: a boy and his horse become separated during the war as the British military begins to draft horses along with soldiers. But oh if it were that simple. The Plot A [...]
I’m on a roadtrip today! Headed off to see my sister and her beautiful new baby (hooray!) Blogging from North Carolina this weekend, but I’ll finish up movie week with “War Horse,” the new Steven Spielberg film, “War Horse” set to come out on Christmas day. I’m excited to see it! “War Horse” is a tale of loyalty, and hope [...]
My official review of The Muppets will be up today over at 5 Minutes for Mom (I will link to it when it goes live), but I have to tell you that the movie has received my “Outburst Seal of Approval.” Meaning, I outbursted, laughing, several times. I didn’t think they could pull it off, but they did. We saw it [...]
Oh how I love strong female characters or even ones who start out thinking they aren’t strong but find out how strong they are (and were the whole time). Females who refuse to “stand down” and females who question imposed limits. Girl power inspires me! This spring, Disney Pixar is coming out with a “brave” new lead female character (who [...]
It’s movie week! I’m in love with the line up of kids movies coming out soon and I’m going to post about them all week (yes there are that many!) Here’s one I am super excited about. From the makers of Ponyo, one of the cutest movies I’ve ever seen, comes a brand new movie called, “The Secret World of [...]
Just a short post today! I went to see The Muppets this morning with the kids and without spilling all of the details cameos by Chang and Jack Black and Whoopi Goldberg among others, it brought back a lot of memories. I mean, a lot. As in, I forgot how much I loved them. Anyway, The Muppets opens up in theaters Wednesday [...]
Saturday night was declared movie night in our house by my 5 year old who spotted the “Beethoven’s Christmas Adventure.” We love movie nights around here, especially ones that involve cute dogs and puppies. My 3 year old is in an obsessed-with-dogs phase and they both rotate between wanting a puppy and a sister (good luck with that.) So Beethoven’s [...]
Dolphin Tale comes out in theaters today, and let me tell you, there’s a lot of saving going on in this movie. The Clearwater Marine Hospital (which is called the “Clearwater Marine Aquarium” in real life) saves a dolphin. A dolphin saves a boy. A boy saves a dolphin back. And then both the boy and the dolphin do some more saving [...]
