When Disney announced they were doing a remake of Pete's Dragon I was pretty excited. This is a movie from my childhood and I couldn't wait to share it with my daughter. While the movie is amazing there are a few parts I feel parents should be made aware of. The first 5 minutes of the film can be intense for our young audience. You are transported to the 70s, Pete and his parents are on a road trip. It's a bright sunny day, they are traveling down a road through a heavily wooded area, Pete ...
Movie
Ice Age Collision Course
Can you believe they released Ice Age 5? It's the 5th installment in the Ice Age franchise. It seems like just yesterday the first Ice Age was released. I love the tagline for this Ice Age - Kiss Your Ice Goodbye. But the real title for the movie is Ice Age: Collision Course. So what happens in this Ice Age? Well, Scrat is still chasing that silly acorn. And, like every other movie, that silly acorn gets Scrat in a heap of trouble. This time, Scrat ends up chasing the acorn into ...
Bad Moms
Have you made it out to see Bad Moms? If not, I highly suggest you make some time and do it now! Bad Moms is a hilarious comedy about motherhood and how we, mothers, do way too much. I've seen it once but I'm already thinking about going back and seeing it again. It was that good. At the start of Bad Moms we meet Amy, Mila Kunis. Amy is a real go getter. She works outside the home, car pools her two kids, makes them breakfast and basically runs the household. She is a mom that does it all. ...

The BFG
Disney's The BFG opened nationwide on Friday. Peyton and I had a chance to see it and we are going to share our thoughts with you. This was a first for Peyton. Typically, we see animated movies or movies based on princesses. The BFG is based off a book by Roald Dahl and adapted to the big screen by Disney with the help of Steven Speilberg. It's an imaginative story about a little girl, Sophie, who becomes friends with a giant, BFG. Through their friendship, Sophie learns all about Giant ...
Finding Dory
Finally! Finding Dory is here. After all those years of waiting and wishing for a movie just about Dory, it's arrived. Peyton and I took in Finding Dory a few days before opening night and we were knocked off our feet impressed with how spectacular it is! Rarely, can a sequel stand on it's own or surpass the original. Finding Dory does just that. Be sure to get to the theater early so you don't miss the opening. There is the most adorable baby seagull story you will not want to miss. Here's ...
