Minions: The Rise of Gru

Posted on September 26, 2022 in 2022 Fall Gift Guide

Minion movies are my favorite, and this one was far above the rest. My kids sat with me, and watched Minions: The Rise of Gru for my birthday. It was such an awesome day, with an amazing movie. I will never forget this day, or the new Minions movies. Both made this day a special surprise.

If you’ve never watched the Minions movies, now the time to get started, with this super fantastic flick. It’s so great. I will forever cherish this movie. All the minion movies, I have watched, in the past, with my son. He’s 11 years old, and we love the Minions, and Gru! We never miss a film with them in it. Jacob bought me this Blu-ray for my birthday, and since my daughter was here for a visit, 25-year-old, Sarah, we watched it all together.

Long before he becomes the master of evil, Gru is just a 12-year-old boy in 1970s suburbia, plotting to take over the world from his basement. When the infamous supervillain group, the Vicious 6, ousts their leader, Gru attempts to join their ranks but soon finds himself the mortal enemy of the apex of evil. With Gru on the run, the Minions attempt to learn martial arts to help save him, and Gru discovers that even bad guys need a little help from their friends. Packed with the franchise’s signature subversive humor, Minions: The Rise of Gru features more thrilling action than any Despicable Me film ever before!

Posted on December 6, 2018 in 2018 Holiday Gift Guide

The Blu Ray Disc, Deluxe Edition of The Original Christmas Specials Collection is wonderful. It brings back so many memories, and now I’m making those memories with my children. Even though my daughter is in her 20s, she still loves to sit down and watch these animated flicks with my 7 year old, and me.

My favorite has always been Frosty the Snowman, while my daughter’s favorite is The Little Drummer Boy, and Jacob, my 7 year old, well he’s not sure which one he likes most. We’ve watched this Blu Ray about 15 times already, but I keep wanting to go back for more. And, it’s so cute, that I’ve ordered one for my best friend’s daughter, for Christmas.

There’s tons of bonuses on this Blu Ray, and the discs are inexpensive. Get yours in time for Christmas.

I can never stay up late enough, yes 8pm is late to me, to watch these on tv, so I now have the discs and can watch when we are ready.

‘Tis the season to enjoy the timeless holiday classics in The Original Christmas Specials Collection featuring five unforgettable stories. Produced by Rankin/Bass, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Santa Claus is Comin’ To Town and The Little Drummer Boy feature iconic “Animagic” stop-motion animation and Frosty the Snowman and Cricket on the Hearth are beautifully animated. Starring the voice talents of Fred Astaire, Jimmy Durante, Mickey Rooney, Danny Thomas, Burl Ives and many more, these favorites also feature some of the most beloved songs of the season and are sure to entertain audiences of all ages for generations to come!

The Glass Castle is a Fantastic Movie

Posted on November 26, 2017 in 2017 Holiday Gift Guide clip Movies

We watched The Glass Castle the other day, and it was fantastic. I really like Woody Harrelson, and adore Naomi Watts, so this was a no brainer, for me, to watch. And Brie Larson played an exceptional role. Even my 20 year old, daughter, got into watching it. She said she will have to read the book next. She always loves to compare the book to the movie.

An all-star cast shines in this inspiring film based on THE NEW YORK TIMES best-selling memoir. Jeannette (Oscar® winner Brie Larson) had a poor but wildly adventurous childhood, raised by her free-spirited father (Oscar® nominee Woody Harrelson) and her mother (Oscar® nominee Naomi Watts), an eccentric artist. But when her father’s behavior become erratic, Jeannette must find the courage to live on her own terms in this uplifting story of unconditional love.

The story line is super. You will really enjoy this movie. And, it’s a Real Life Drama.

BLU-RAY / DVD / DIGITAL HD SPECIAL FEATURES
* 9 Deleted Scenes
* The Glass Castle: Memoir to Movie
* A Conversation with Jeannette Walls
* Making of “Summer Storm” by Joel P West
* Scoring The Glass Castle
