Phone Home a Hit with The Movie- ET #Review

 When I was younger... much younger... I have been told that the first movie I ever went and saw in the movie theater was ET.  I actually don't remember that, but I do remember that I had a little ET doll when I was younger.  It was made out of this leather type material and had a red finger tip and everything.. I have tried getting my kids to enjoy movies that I liked when I was younger, but they really never put forth the effort to try and amuse me... I am crossing my fingers that they enjoy a piece of my childhood with ET!!!

We were sent ET for review. I was a million percent excited about watching the movie... Lining up a movie night with the kids to watch it now!   I wish I would have planned ahead and we would have had pizza and Reese's Pieces, but I was just excited to have them home watching a movie with me!  The hustle and bustle of things really speed up for us starting in October... We have all the different Halloween functions, then Thanksgiving.. then everything getting ready for Christmas! While we have all this going on and school and work and everything else, I am making it a point to have movie night at least once a week during this time for us to SLOW DOWN and ENJOY EACH OTHER! This time doesn't last that long!  Throw it under the tree for a loved one to either experience it for the first time, or to have a trip down memory lane and share with others!!!

Were you a fan of ET?  Do your kids like it?

To kick off the release of Parental Guidance on March 26, 2013...  Here is a list of Ten Funny Extended Family Movies... Be it holidays or reunions, there is bound to be a laugh or two!!!! 10. The Great Outdoors The Craigs and the Ripleys couldn’t be more different! The Craigs’ patriarch is know-it-all investment banker Roman Craig (Dan Akyroyd) and fun-loving Chester (John Candy), better known as “Chet,” sits at the helm of the Ripley clan.  When the Ripleys decide to explore the great outdoors on vacation and are spontaneously joined by the Craigs, hilarity follows. 9. Dark Shadows Although there is no shortage of places to lay the blame for the drama within the Collins family, the most recent addition to the clan, Barnabas (Johnny Depp), is largely responsible for the family’s misfortune. He manages to bring the brood’s dysfunction to a boil in this enjoyable remake, when he rejoins the family after a 196-year absence and lengthy stay in a coffin following his torr

Just in time for Halloween!!!! Join in the fun with a double play of cute movies! If you are having a Halloween Party or just want to get into the "spirit" of it all... You will love this! We were sent the Dreamworks Party Pack for review and Broxton was so excited. Not only did we receive the movies for review, we also enjoyed the Halloween Pack that was included!!!! We enjoyed: Shrek Candy, Shrek Trick or Treat Bucket, Shrek Hands and Ears and Popcorn. See how cute the candy is? Ha ha! Look at their names! Daddy feeding Broxton the "swamp slugs" with the Shrek Hands! We (the older boys, my parents, Marc and I)love the Shrek movies, so I thought Broxton would like this Halloween take on it... Not so much. He was scared by it. The movie has Shrek and his buddies go to an old abandoned place and tell scary stories to see who is the bravest one there. I laughed, but Broxton wasn't having it... He ended up playing with his toys while I watched it, but
