My husband was in the U.S. Navy so he is really into anything that has to do with the water. Any Navy or Coast Guard film that comes out is a must see for him. He has been looking forward to The Finest Hours for quite some time because it is based on a true story – one of the most daring Coast Guard rescue missions in history. From the second he found out that it was being made into a film, he has been waiting to see it. As soon as I heard the list of actors involved (Casey Affleck, Ben Foster, Chris Pines…), found out Disney was doing it, and saw the first trailer – I was hooked! Of course since I grew up in Massachusetts and this is set there, I am excited about that as well. Just check out the clips and featurettes below and try to tell me you don’t want to see this film. You won’t be able to do it! It looks so good. The Finest Hours hits theaters everywhere on January 29th and we plan to go see it this weekend, will you be going?

I am a HUGE fan of Snoopy, Charlie Brown, and the rest of the Peanuts gang! Every holiday, I search my TV Guide frantically to find out the air dates of the specials. Believe me, I have them all on DVD, but there is something about watching it on TV with my daughters like I did growing up that really adds to the holiday. It just wouldn’t be the same if we didn’t make popcorn and sit on the floor in front of the TV to watch them as they air. Well, I have found out when the Peanuts Valentine’s Day Specials are airing and I wanted to pass the information on to you guys! Be sure to set your alarms (or your DVRs) and enjoy!

But when the supernatural villain Kai begins to sweep across China defeating all the kung fu masters, Po must do the impossible — learn to train a village full of his fun-loving, clumsy brethren to become the ultimate band of Kung Fu Pandas!
I absolutely love the Peanuts gang! I grew up watching Snoopy and the crew, as well as reading the comic strips. For me, a holiday is just not a holiday without watching a Peanuts special. I was thrilled when my girls became old enough to really watch them. Don’t get me wrong though, even when they were babies we watched them, but now they ask questions about the characters and are in to the story line. I am passing down my love for Peanuts and I could not be prouder.
I must have read The BFG at least 50 times when I was younger. I was one of those kids that could always be found in a book. I read several books a week and reread my favorites – The BFG was one of those. I can vividly remember sitting under my covers and reading it many nights (kind of perfect, isn’t it?). When I heard that Disney was going to be making The BFG into a film, and directed by Stephen Spielberg no less, well, let’s just say I was excited. And then I was thrilled when Disney Studios sent me a copy of the book because I could start reading it with my daughters. Every night we have been reading a chapter or two since it arrived and we are nearing the end. My 4 year old has been so enthralled with it – and already asked if we could read it through a second time when we finish. I was talking with her earlier today when I got a notification for an email. I opened it up and what I saw was so perfect, so visually stunning, so amazing – Disney unveiled the poster for The BFG and all I can say is WOW. My daughter looked over my shoulder and yelled “Hey, that says The BFG! Like our book! I love that.” and when I told her that it was a movie poster the look on her face was priceless. She asked if we could go see and I told her that she can bet on the fact that we will be at the theater the day it opens.

This may sound silly but this morning, I stood in the kitchen with my cup of coffee – and I cried. I was reading article after article about Alan Rickman and all the great roles he has played and tears just streamed down my face. Now I know it might sound strange because I didn’t know him personally, but on some level, I feel like I did.
If you know me, than you know what a big movie lover I am. My husband and I almost always spend our one date night a month at the movies and we take our young daughters at least twice a month to a movie. Every week we have family movie night. I am so excited for this upcoming year of films – can we just talk about Marvel movies for a second? Captain America Civil War and Doctor Strange! Eeek – this Marvel fangirl cannot wait!!
