There are a lot of big name and big budget movies playing right now. Here is the Top Ten along with a short review if I saw the movie.

Avatar ………………………………………… $50.3M
Of course Avatar is number one – this movie was absolutely breathtaking and amazing! Yes the story is a little “recycled” (I’ve heard it compared to “Dances with Wolves”) but it’s still a good one. It’s got something for both women and men – it’s a love story, but it’s also a human-interest story that shows how nasty (and …

This movie was the most boring movie I’ve ever seen (aside from the cartoon version of the Hobbit of course). The only good part was the original ending. That part was pretty awesome. Other than that … don’t even waste your dollar at the Redbox …

My friend Christy posted this video on her Facebook and I HAD to share it! It’s absolutely adorable!

Gosh I miss my snuggly warm sling-baby … Almost-Five year olds are difficult to sling, lol

If you’ve seen me posting on Twitter you know that I am a huge fan of the Twilight saga. I’m “Team Jacob” too and even wore a homemade t’shirt to the movies the other night to catch New Moon with about six other “old ladies” (all over the age of 25 but under the age of 50).

If you are looking for a cheap date idea or just have a list of movies that you want to watch (that your hubby just doesn’t agree with) than you have to check out Redbox.

Redbox movies are usually new releases – but now they include older movies like Varsity Blues and Forest Gump (two “new” releases in my local Box) and have lots …

A couple girlfriends and I went to see the new movie “Zombieland” (which stars Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin). The film takes place within a post-apocalyptic world filled with zombies  (triggered by a virulent form of human adapted mad cow disease) and begins with narration by “Columbus” (Eisenberg) who is explaining what is going on and his “rules” for survival. By the end of the film the list has thirty-three rules with only some of them being mentioned.
Jesse Eisenberg (who was recently seen in “Adventureland” with …

I had the opportunity to get some freebie copies of three new DVD’s for my son, Xander to enjoy! We received two Sid the Science Kid DVD’s and a Dive Olly Dive DVD! Sid and Olly are both characters that I enjoy immensely – so I love to watch their shows when they come on PBS or Sprout. Lucky for me, Xander loves them also …
Both Dive Olly Dive and Sid the Science Kid debuted only a few months ago – but they both have already been nominated for Emmy …
