My niece took my girls to see “Brave” last night while my husband and I went to another movie by ourselves. This morning I thought I’d get their thoughts on the film while it was still fresh in their minds… What did you think of the movie? Maya: What movie? Oh, that movie. It was [...]

Disney starts production on Maleficent

I was excited to learn that production began earlier this week on Walt Disney Studios’ “Maleficent,” starring Academy Award–winning actress Angelina Jolie!

Movie of the Week: Chimpanzee

I almost bought this little guy at the Disney Store this morning… The last thing we need is another stuffed animal, but he’s just so darn CUTE! I have a feeling my girls are going to love this movie, so we may just go back and ‘adopt’ him eventually. Everyone’s loving Oscar! The world is [...]

Movie of the Week: The Descendants

Ahh… George. I have to admit he’s the only reason I wanted to see this movie. I had no idea what it was about before popping the DVD in, other than the short clip I saw during the Oscars. Based on the best-selling novel by Kaui Hart Hemmings and set in Hawaii, THE DESCENDANTS is [...]

Movie of the Week: The Lorax

I fully intended to go see The Lorax yesterday with the girls, but we never even left the house! A relaxing, lazy weekend is needed once in a while. That said, it looks like a wonderful movie, and it’s definitely in our plans for this week. Have you seen it? From the creators of Despicable [...]

Movie of the Week: Beauty and the Beast 3D

I was only 11 years old when Beauty and the Beast was first released in 1991. I vaguely remember my mom taking me to see it. It’s kind of surreal to think that I’ll be taking my daughters to see the very same movie this weekend! Beauty and the Beast returns to theaters for the [...]

Movie of the Week: The Muppets!

The Muppets is a great new movie that has something for everyone to enjoy. It makes you laugh, think, and, for those of us who were Muppets fans in the 1980s, it will make you love the Muppets all over again. Overall, it was a funny, lighthearted yet an entertaining movie for all ages. My [...]

Movie of the Week: Happy Feet 2

Happy Feet 2 is hitting theaters later this week. Are you going to go see it? I think it looks really cute!
