A few night’s ago I took my princess loving (almost) four year old to see Disney’s new live-action version of Cinderella. She has been on pins and needles ever since she saw the first trailer on her LeapPad a few weeks ago. Of course, she may have been most excited about Frozen Fever, the short that… [Read More]

Mockingjay lukewarm but still worth seeing (movie review)
When I read the Hunger Games trilogy two years ago, I remember being disappointed with the last book. So I was not surprised that I found the third movie installment lacking. Part of it is the nature of the plot line. Since they split the final book into two movies, we’ve only got half a story… [Read More]
Should I take my kids to see Big Hero 6? {movie review}
We have literally been waiting for this movie for months. Ever since the first sneak peek at a preview came out in early summer, my son has been asking when we can go see Big Hero 6. Well Wednesday was the night. We hit up our local theater for the advanced screening. Official Synopsis: Big… [Read More]
ALEXANDER AND THE TERRIBLE, HORRIBLE, NO GOOD, VERY BAD DAY {movie review}
Last night, I hit up a preview of Disney’s newest movie, Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. It was a rare, me only, movie experience. Since it was a later showing and not animated, I left Mr. A at home. I went it hoping for a cute, lighthearted family movie and… [Read More]
I am over the moon excited for Into the Woods {trailer!}
I wish… Once upon a time, there was a girl who loved theater. In her junior year of high school, she auditioned, as she did every year, for the high school musical. She assumed she’d be put into the chorus as she had the past two years. But low and behold, she was given a… [Read More]
Lucy will make you think {movie review}
The hubby and I haven’t had a date night in awhile so when we got invited to a preview of the new Scarlett Johanson movie, Lucy, I was pretty excited. I’m a huge movie fan – action, comedy, romance, drama, you name it. If it entertains me, I’m usually golden. I arrived expecting a major… [Read More]
Planes: Fire & Rescue will make the little ones happy
Planes: Fire & Rescue opened in theaters nationwide last weekend. The first movie, Planes, from Disney Toons, caught a little bit of flack. Of course, everyone compared it to Cars, and honestly, there’s no comparison. My son loved it and, to me, that’s all that mattered. The sequel did try to incorporate a little more… [Read More]
Begin Again: Perfect for a Girl’s Night Out
A few weeks ago, I saw a preview of a movie while I was waiting to sob through The Fault in Our Stars. Adam Levine? Um, yes please. Keira Knightley? I love her. The writer-director from Once? I’m sold. Begin Again is about what happens when lost souls meet and make beautiful music together. Gretta… [Read More]
The whole family will enjoy How to Train Your Dragon 2
I remember last summer when I first watched How to Train Your Dragon with my then four year old. Mr. A loved it! I was worried it would be a little advanced for him, maybe a little scary. But nope, he was entranced. To be honest, so was I. I thought the script was fabulous…. [Read More]
