While on the set of Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2 last May, I was completely blindsided with a Kurt Russell interview! We thought he would have already been wrapped from filming, but as we were finishing up lunch we were whisked away quickly with no idea what was going on. We were told to follow and that is what we did. We ended up in a blue room where filming was clearly going on – and then were told “you are going to be interviewing Kurt Russell in about three minutes.” What, did I hear that right? KURT RUSSELL? My fellow bloggers and I gasped and took about 5 seconds to freak out before we started wracking our brains for questions to ask a legend in the film industry.

My husband and I love to take my girls to see movies in the theater. We try to go once a month because we always have so much fun. It is a great bonding experience as a family and my daughters just love it. We recently went to see Sing in theaters and it was one of our favorite movies ever! So when we were offered a chance to throw a Sing party to celebrate the Blu-ray and DVD release – we jumped at it! This movie comes home TODAY (March 21) and I could not recommend it anymore! It is truly fun for the whole family! We loved watching all of the awesome bonus features as well – and honestly, this disc was packed full of them!

My girls and I are huge fan so the Ice Age franchise. I remember going to see the first one in the theater when I was younger, and now I take my daughters to see each new one as they come out. I was really excited to hear that Ice Age: The Great Egg-scapade was coming to DVD in time to be included in my daughters’ Easter Baskets! I just know they will be really happy to see that the Easter Bunny included a copy for them in their basket of treats. This is a short film (about 22 minutes) in the film franchise but still includes all your favorite characters! The DVD also includes a lot of bonus features that are fun for the whole family to watch.

My daughters love LEGOs. They love to build with them, to play with them, and of course, to watch the LEGO movies and TV shows. One of their favorites is LEGO: NINJAGO: Masters of Spinjitzu. My 5 year old especially has taken to this series. My husband and I really enjoy watching it with her as well. It is filled with action and humor – and it a great show to watch all as a family. We were really excited to see season six coming out on DVD. We love to binge watch our shows and this is a great way to do it. Not to mention, my daughter likes to take the DVD in the car to watch during long drives. This DVD is packed full with 10 episodes for hours of LEGO fun!

When I was vacationing with my family in Disney World last November, we were lucky enough to see Moana a few days before it came out. We actually watched it on the beach at the Polynesian Resort – and despite being an uncharacteristically cold night in Florida, it is a great family memory of ours. We all loved the movie so much that my husband came home and immediately got HeiHei and Pua tattoos! We are also planning to get matching Mini Maui tattoos soon. So of course we were thrilled to hear that Moana was finally coming out on Blu-ray and DVD! It recently became available on Disney Movies Anywhere and Digital HD/3D. We actually rented it from a hotel when we were on vacation a couple weeks ago. But Moana is coming home on Blu-ray and DVD on March 7 and it is jam packed with amazing bonus features!

If you know anything about me, you know I am a HUGE Star Wars fan. I am also a huge Han Solo fan (I mean, how can you not be). When the Han Solos solo film (see what I did there) was announced, I was thrilled. I can not wait to delve deeper into one of my favorite characters in the Star Wars universe! I just found out that principal photography has begun on this film and it is becoming more real to me now! The actors involved are amazing – Donald Glover anyone? I LOVE him! He is going to be the perfect Lando! I am thrilled that I only have to wait until May 2018 to see this movie – I am so used to Star Wars movies coming out in December. Buckle up guys – this is going to be an amazing ride!

Rock Dog hits theaters a little later this month, February 24th. My husband and I take our daughters to the movies at least once a month, so we love when family friendly movies are out. This one stood out to us because it centers around a wide-eyed Tibetan Mastiff dog named Bodi – and we have two dogs of our own. We have a pug named Khaleesi and a puggle named Sansa and they are part of our family. I cannot imagine a house without a dog or two. I always had a dog growing up and I am excited that my girls will know that companionship as the grow older as well.

My husband and I went to see Doctor Strange in theaters and were blown away. We loved everything about it. I am a huge Marvel fan, so I was really excited for this movie. To be honest, Doctor Strange is not one of my favorite characters from the comic books, so I was a little nervous going in. But after watching the movie, I have even started enjoying his character in the comics more. Benedict Cumberbatch was incredible – as were all the actors.
