Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue Review

September 16, 2010 By Elizabeth

Following up on the successes of 2008's "Tinker Bell" and 2009's "Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure", Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment will release Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue (Two-Disc Blu-ray/ DVD Combo) on September 21, 2010. Kaitlyn loved the first two movies, so when the PR firm I work with asked if we wanted to review Great Fairy Rescue, I replied back YES PLEASE! What it's about: Before she met Wendy and the Lost Boys in "Peter Pan", Tinker Bell met another human! It seems that in the summer, the fairies gather for a sort of summer camp in the English countryside. While searching for something to "tinker with", Tink happens upon an automobile, and ends up trapped in a Fairy House created by Lizzy, a 9 year old girl living with her Father, who is very busy and unfortunately tends to brush off Lizzy's attempts at a relationship.. Lizzy very much believes in fairies, but her Father only believes in what he can see with his eyes. Another fairy, Vidia, sees … [Read more...]

December 11, 2009 By Elizabeth

When the lights go off, the battle is on! Night At The Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian arrives in a Blu-ray Disc/DVD Combo Pack (Blu-ray, DVD and a Digital Copy) and for a limited time only a “Monkey Mischief” double DVD on December 1 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. We received this on Blu-Ray from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment for review, and it was as funny as I thought it would be! This is a terrific movie for families to watch together. If you didn't see it, here's the description: History is larger than life — and twice as funny — in this monumental comedy sequel. Ben Stiller (Meet The Parents, There’s Something About Mary) stars as Larry Daley, a former night watchman at the Museum of Natural History, where the exhibits come alive after dark. But now Larry’s nocturnal friends are being retired to the archives of the Smithsonian Institution, luring him back for a hilarious, all-out battle against a cranky Egyptian Pharaoh who plans to … [Read more...]

Watch This: How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days Deluxe Edition

August 28, 2009 By Elizabeth

I had forgotten, until I got this movie on Blu-ray to review, just how freaking funny it is. Kate Hudson is a natural-born comedic actress (seriously, with Goldie Hawn for a Mom? Kate was a shoo-in), and Matthew McConaughey also displays a talent for comedy in this romantic and hilarious tale of the battle of the sexes. Hudson plays Andie, a magazine writer looking to impress her boss (the terrific Bebe Neuwirth) by writing a piece on "how to lose a guy in 10 days". She's going to find a guy, do everything that women do wrong when they are dating, then dump him at the end. Meanwhile, McConaughey is Ben, an ad agent who will land a huge campaign if he can make a woman fall in love with him in 10 days. They meet, they each try to set their plan in motion, hilarity ensues. The HOW TO LOSE A GUY IN 10 DAYS Deluxe Edition DVD and Blu-ray feature new bonus material including “How to Make a Movie in 2 Years”, “Why the Sexes Battle” and “Girls Night Out”, as well as … [Read more...]
