MICKEY’S CHRISTMAS CAROL: 30th Anniversary Special Edition Available on Blu-ray Combo Pack

I’ve always had a special place in my heart for Mickey Mouse! I was very excited to share this movie with my kids a few weekends ago. Every Saturday night, we have a Family Movie Night, providing we don’t have other plans, of course. Even though this movie starred the cute and adorable Mickey, the story line still remained a bit dark for my kids’ liking. They are very sensitive to “scary” or “darker” movies. This fear includes any “bad guy”, regardless of the outcome. Hubby and I enjoyed this movie as it is a classic tale, and I thought … Continue reading →

The Internship is a comedy about two friends Billy (Vince Vaughn – from what feels like every “guy” comedy of the last 15 years from Swingers to Dodgeball) and Nick (Owen Wilson – best known to most parents as the voice of Lightning McQueen) who find themselves unemployed and seemingly unemployable fortysomethings after the watch company they work in sales for unexpectedly closes down. They decide to apply for, and eventually obtain, a position for an internship at Google, where they have to compete with recent college grads for a full-time position.

While the movie, The Little Mermaid was originally in theatres back in 1989, over 20 years ago, the story is just as appealing to my 8 year old daughter as it was to me when I first saw it (and I was in grade 9). The Little Mermaid was one of the first (if not THE first) movie that I was allowed to go see by myself (well, with friends, unsupervised). I can’t wait to watch it over and over and over again with my children. The Diamond Edition of The Little Mermaid, Blu-ray Combo Pack comes out TODAY, October … Continue reading →
