I’m a sucker for a good family film, and throw a cute dog into it, and I’m totally sold. We missed A Dog’s Purpose when it was in theaters, but I’m excited to check it out with the family now that it’s launching on BLU-RAY May 2nd. The gist of the movie is this. A… [Read More]

Fall in love with Dory all over again with Disney’s Finding Dory
I don’t remember the first time I saw Finding Nemo, but I do remember the first time I got to watch it with my son. We fast-forwarded through the beginning (because hello TRAUMATIC!) and then got swept away in the adventures of Marlin and Nemo.

It’s out! It’s finally out! The Mockingjay Part 2 hit theaters across the country today. How was it? Is it totally awesome? Well yes and no. See here’s the thing.

Does the whole family need to see Inside Out?
The answer is yes. Yes they do. Monday evening, the husband, two kids (ages 6 ad 4 if you’re new to this blog) and I hit up our local theater for a screening of Disney Pixar’s Inside Out. We’d watched the trailers for weeks and I was eager to see if the movie would meet… [Read More]
