Santa Buddies: The Legend Of Santa Paws & Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Choo-Choo Express | Review

Every year during the holidays, I like to play Christmas music and watch holiday themed-movies to get into the spirit.  I want to spread the tradition to my children so they are the same way, especially my four year old.  During the past two weeks, she’s seen the same two movies almost daily. I think I know every line and so does she. The first one is Santa Buddies.  Both of my daughters really enjoyed this one because they love dogs and of course, Christmas.  It’s about a dog named Puppy … [Read more...]

Boot Camp | Movie Review

My family and I are movie gurus. We watch movies all the time, especially on the weekends.  It's a great way to spend time with your family and save money too.

The Tiger’s Tail | Movie Review

It's Movie Tuesday!!! Last night, my husband and I saw The Tiger's Tail.  It's a drama-thriller type movie. It should not be seen with kids because of its rating (R). It truly is an adult movie. There's no sex (well, one sex scene but no nudity was seen)  or anything provocative, it's just that they wouldn't understand and they'll probably fall asleep anyway. The movie is based in Dublin, Ireland, starring Kim Cattrall (Jane O'Leary), Brendan Gleeson (Liam O'Leary), Ciaran Hinds (Father … [Read more...]

The Disappointment Continues.

It's just not fair to go through so many disappointments in one week.  It's not but I guess that's inevitable. So, I finally saw Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince last night.  It was OK.  I liked it but...ok, I have to be honest here....I really didn't like it.  I still feel the need to watch a Harry Potter movie.  This one left me wanting more and I didn't get that, unfortunately.  It's sad because my family and I are HUGE fans and the only one that really enjoyed it was my 12 year old … [Read more...]
