When I first saw the trailer for the new Disney live-action The Jungle Book, I wasn’t sure it was something we were going to see. It didn’t seem to be up my alley, but, of course, my seven year old was totally stoked. So when we got invited to a sneak preview, I decided we… [Read More]
The Good Dinosaur Goes Straight For Your Heart #GoodDino
I watched the trailer for Pixar’s latest film, The Good Dinosaur, a few days ago. I’m going to be honest. I had NO CLUE what it was going to be about. But regardless, we love Pixar, so I gathered up both kids and we drove over to the screening last night. Oh my heart! I didn’t… [Read More]
Will I be satisfied with the final Hunger Games movie? Mockingjay Part 2 review
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]
Disney’s Cinderella – a delight for all ages
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]

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]
