Who-Is-Simon-Miller

This Saturday, August 6th, Walmart and P&G present the newest Family Movie Night feature, Who is Simon Miller?, starring Loren Dean ("Bones") as Simon and Robyn Lively (regular on TV & half-sister of Blake Lively) as his wife Meredith. Simon's frequent business trips have created distance between him and his 18 year old honor student daughter Sarah and 15 year old video gamer Kevin. But this is no business trip, as Meredith and her kids learn when they discover a stash of passports hidden in a desk drawer, each with Simon's face but a different name. And then Simon calls, but only to tell them not to tell anyone he's gone, not even the authorities. Meredith, Sarah and Kevin band together to solve the mystery of who Simon is and where he has gone. Who is Simon Miller? is fast-paced and exciting while remaining family-friendly in keeping with the genre. I recommend watching this with your kids this Saturday night! … [Read more...]

This Saturday night, gather your family around the TV and tune in to Change of Plans, the third made-for-TV movie from P&G and Walmart. I  reviewed the two previous P&G and Walmart movie collaborations,  The Jensen Project and Secrets of the Mountain, and we really enjoyed both of them.  From what I've seen so far of Change of Plans, I think we're going to enjoy that one too! Starring Brooke White, Joe Flanigan and Phylicia Rashad, Change of Plans airs on Saturday, January 8, 2011 at 8/7c on FOX. Brooke White ("American Idol") plays  Sally Danville, a musician married to fighter pilot Jason (Joe Flanigan, "Stargate: Atlantis"). Sally and Jason are very much in love, very involved in their careers, and not at all prepared for what is about to happen. A phone call from caseworker Dorothy (Phylicia Rashad, The Cosby Show) surprises Sally with the news that her best friend from college has died in a tragic accident while serving in the Peace Corps, and that she has been … [Read more...]
