Watch This With Your Kids – Who Is Simon Miller?

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...]

"Secrets of the Mountain" is a new family movie airing tomorrow night on NBC, brought to you by Walmart and P&G. I received a disc containing the trailer, and having watched just that two minute peek, this is definitely the kind of movie I want to watch with my kids! The movie stars Paige Turco as Dana James, a single Mom who feels her kids are pulling away from her and each other. When she gets a letter from an attorney offering to buy a mountain property she inherited, she rallies the kids to take the road trip with her to see what shape the house is in. When they arrive, they find surprises around every corner. Soon, the whole James family is caught up in an ancient secret, a treasure hunt, and a treacherous journey that will teach them to work with each other instead of against each other. It kind of reminds me of "National Treasure" but with kids. Other stars include Barry Bostwick and Shawn Christian. "Secrets of the Mountain" airs on NBC tomorrow, April 16th, at 8pm … [Read more...]
