Now that we have our baby girl, I know we will be watching them all over again and I am thrilled to see the wonder and excitement as she watches each one of them!  ( I originally had most of them on VHS, but those days are long gone!  Time to start stocking up on Blu-Ray! )  While I did enjoy Snow White, I think I loved the dwarfs more than the Princess back then, so it will be interesting to see it now and see who I am drawn more to!  Available on Blu-Ray February 2nd, plan on adding this to your home library!   Forever enchanting and inspiring,  Snow   White  And The Seven Dwarfs embodies...

Opinions expressed are my own and are NOT influenced by monetary compensation.   Although I have  a son, I still love the classic Disney Stories.  I saw that they were releasing Cinderella and I was so excited to see it, but I did not have the heart to drag my son to the theaters to watch it with me. I was so excited when I was given the chance to review the Blu-Ray when it was released.   I started the movie while he was busy playing with his Army Men and Trains...  Something he heard caught his attention, so he started popping his head in from time to time to see what was going on.  Saying this to let you know that it might not be just a "princess story" and that kids of all ages could enjoy it. One reason I wanted to see the movie was because, hello, it was Cinderell...

I told you that we went to see the Book of Life when it was in the theaters and we loved it.  Well, since then, we have been eager to see it on our TV, meaning that we were ready to own it and be able to watch whenever we wanted!  (Marc even enjoyed this one, so it will be watched often!)   I am happy to say that we will be able to own it when it becomes available on the 27th of January! To add to the excitement, I get to host a giveaway so that one of you will be adding this great movie to your collection as well!   THE  BOOK   OF   LIFE  is a breathtaking animated comedy with a dazzling visual style unlike anything you’ve seen before. Torn between the expectations  o...

With all of this crazy weather, you don't know if you are going outside to enjoy a beautiful day or if you need to plan a day inside snuggling up and enjoying a couple movies.  Having said that, I wanted to share a couple movies that showed up in the mail.  I will be posting reviews later, just wanted to share in case you were looking for a movie to watch.   A Chorus Line A group of dancers congregate on the stage of a Broadway theater to audition for a new musical. After the initial eliminations, 16 hopefuls remain. As the film unfolds, the backstory of each of the dancers is revealed. Some are funny, some ironic, some heartbreaking. No matter what their background, however, they all have one...

Opinions expressed are my own and are NOT influenced by monetary compensation. Broxton and I were able to go see Turbo at the theaters this year... and love it, yes we did!!! I think his favorite part was when the snail ( voiced by Snoop Dog) says "Slow Motion Baby!"   Well....   Guess what?! Turbo is being released November 12th and I personally think that it will make a great gift idea for kids of all ages!   My problem is deciding what to do... save it for a Christmas gift, or go ahead and open it up now to watch again?  ( I tell you, we loved it!) SYNOPSIS: Laugh it up with the visually stunning, heartfelt comedy-adventure for fans of all ages this holiday season! “Fresh, fast and funny” (Lou Lumenick,  New York Post ) and garnering four stars from Shawn Ed...

Opinions expressed are my own and are NOT influenced by monetary compensation. We have never watched much  Spongebob here, but Broxton sure enough knows who he is... I remember his older brothers watching it when they were younger, so it is fun to see how things that they liked are still around...  We were recently sent a brand new Blu-Ray : It's A Spongebob Christmas! !!  I might just surprise Broxton with this as a gift this year...   I know this is one his brothers will watch with him!   Synopsis:   It’s SpongeBob as you’ve never seen him before – on Blu-ray for the first time, as part of this Blu-ray Combo Pack. You’ll see SpongeBob, Patrick, Plankton and all of Bikini Bottom in better quality for even more holiday fun. ...

Just a reminder of another "Adult Fairy Tale." SYNOPSIS: In this spectacular action-adventure, Kristen Stewart ( Twilight ) is  Snow   White , the only woman in the land fairer than the evil queen Ravenna (Oscar ®  winner Charlize Theron). Ravenna wants nothing more than to destroy her young rival, but she doesn’t know that Show  White  has been training in the art of war with a huntsman (Chris Hemsworth) the queen dispatched to kill her. Together with a handsome prince (Sam Claflin) enchanted by  Snow   White ’s beauty and power, they assemble an armed force to recapture the kingdom. This breathtaking new vision of the legendary tale from Joe Roth, the producer of  Alice in Wonderland  and acclaimed commercial director and state-of-the-art visualist Rupert Sanders is, in the words of Shawn Edwards, Fox-TV, “A film that soars with creativity, stylistic genius and amazing battle scenes.” Added Bonus for those that buy t...

I am not even going to lie...  I could have sworn that Jack Dawson was in my living room yesterday! You know... Jack Dawson... AKA Leonardo DiCaprio from Titanic!  I was so lucky to have the chance to review the latest from Titanic.. Titanic 3D.   A friend of mine kept laughing at how excited I was over this...  but I could have cared less, I was like a kid in a candy store or on Christmas morning... I mean, I was REALLY excited!  Let me tell you how it went... Well, let me back up and tell you that I am not tech savvy, so that was a start right there...  But then, I go and put my 3D movie in... Put my 3D glasses on...  I am ready to go... but nothing...  Come to find out, our blu-ray player needed updating first...  So, I am on the phone figuring this out... Then, the lady says " let's see if it is working now"  I turn it on and the menu screen about slaps me in the face!  It was IN 3D!  I...
