Frozen 2: a surprisingly delightful sequel

Frozen 2: a surprisingly delightful sequel

My eight-year old and I went to see an advanced screening of Frozen 2, and I’m delighted to say that we both give it a hearty two thumbs up. In fact, to quote my daughter, “It was amazing! Everyone should go and see it. It’s such a good movie.” Synopsis: Why was Elsa born with magical powers?… [Read More]

One mom’s thoughts on Ralph Breaks the Internet

One mom’s thoughts on Ralph Breaks the Internet

Full disclosure: I went into the screening of “Ralph Breaks the Internet” blind. I hadn’t watched the trailer. I hadn’t read a bunch of reviews in advance. I just knew I’d enjoyed the first film and was looking forward to an outing with my almost 10 year old son. I’m not a harsh critic. I… [Read More]

What my 9-year-old and I thought about SOLO: a Star Wars Story

My son loves Star Wars, so as soon as I knew SOLO was hitting the theaters, I asked him if he wanted to go to the screening with me. There was never ANY doubt in his mind; he was going. I enjoy Star Wars, but I’m not a fanatic. I do think the reboot and additions… [Read More]

Yes, you should take your kids to see A Wrinkle in Time

As a child, I wasn’t into science fiction or fantasy type books. I was given a set of Madeleine L’Engle’s books, including A Wrinkle in Time and they just sat on my shelf. Last month, my mother stumbled upon them and brought them over, thinking maybe Mr A would like to read the first in… [Read More]

Black Panther: a must see for all Super Hero fans

Holy smokes, you guys. I went into the movie screening for Black Panther with absolutely no expecatations, knowing very little of the back story. I was just hoping for a good flick and a night out with my husband. IT WAS AMAZING! It is my favorite Marvel movie to date, hands down. Seriously, it was that… [Read More]

Walt Disney Studios Movies for 2018

You guys! I just got the slate for Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures for 2018 and I am STOKED. I had no idea they were doing a Wreck It Ralph 2 and we’ve been on pins and needles for Incredibles 2 for ages. Who else is ready for some awesome Disney movies? I want to… [Read More]

Pixar does it again with delightful family film, COCO

I had a hard time knowing where to begin with my thoughts on this movie. I left the theater feeling completely overwhelmed by my feelings and had to sit with them awhile before I could put words down on the screen. Official COCO Synopsis: Despite his family’s baffling generations-old ban on music, Miguel (voice of… [Read More]

The Man Who Invented Christmas: a holiday film review

November 21, 2017 By Erin L. Leave a Comment

I have a confession to make. I’ve never read “A Christmas Carol”. Of course I know the story. I’ve seen at least four different film versions and a stage adaptation or two. But I’ve never read the book. Nevertheless, when I had an opportunity to attend an advanced screening of the a movie based on… [Read More]

CARS 3: a fun, family outing

When I saw they were coming out with a Cars 3, I must admit I was a little worried. We loved the original. Mr. A spent many, many hours watching and playing with Lightning, Mater, Sally and the gang. But the second one was underwhelming. I was disappointed with the spy theme and thought the… [Read More]

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2: I laughed AND cried

As we drove to the screening of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, I turned to my husband and said, “Whoops, I totally meant to rewatch the first one or at least read about it before we went. I don’t remember hardly anything about the first one.” Turns out, it didn’t really matter. Guardians of… [Read More]
