Disney’s Wreck-It Ralph Movie Scoop & Prize Pack Giveaway

by 77 Comments

I don’t know about you, but I am really looking forward to seeing Disney’s new film Wreck-It Ralph that will be in theaters next month. I have seen the trailer multiple times and think my kids and I are going to love it.

About the film:

In Wreck-It Ralph, arcade-hopper Ralph is tired of being overshadowed by Fix-It Felix, the “good guy” star of their game who always gets to save the day. After decades of doing the same thing and seeing that all the glory always goes to Felix, Ralph decides that he is TIRED of playing the role of the bad guy and takes matters into his own massive hands. Ralph sets off on a game-hopping journey across the arcade through every generation of video games to prove that he has what it takes to be a hero too!

On Ralph’s quest to be a hero, he meets the tough-as-nails Sergeant Calhoun from the first-person action game Hero’s Duty. But it’s the feisty misfit Vanellope von Schweetz  from the candy-coated cart racing game, Sugar Rush, whose world is threatened when Ralph accidentally unleashes a deadly enemy that threatens the entire arcade. Will Ralph realize his dream and save the day before it’s too late?

For my social media junkies, be sure to….

“Wreck-It Ralph” crashes onto the big screen on November 2, 2012, in Disney Digital 3D™ in select theaters.

Disney’s Frankenweenie Movie Review + Mr. Whiskers Trailer

by 14 Comments

For months I had been wanting to see Disney’s Frankenweenie that just came out in theaters on Friday. I was lucky and got to take my daughter Hannah to a pre-screening of the movie before it hit the theaters. For a movie that is in black and white, it was pretty darn good!

I like that this film is also in 3D that makes it even better. My daughter loves wearing those silly glasses in the theater and I love the 3D effects.

From creative genius Tim Burton (“Alice in Wonderland,” The Nightmare Before Christmas”) comes “Frankenweenie,” a heartwarming tale about a boy and his dog. After unexpectedly losing his beloved dog Sparky, young Victor harnesses the power of science to bring his best friend back to life—with just a few minor adjustments. He tries to hide his home-sewn creation, but when Sparky gets out, Victor’s fellow students, teachers and the entire town all learn that getting a new “leash on life” can be monstrous.

For a movie that deals with the death of a little boy’s dog, the storyline is pretty good and it has a great ending. I thought my daughter Hannah wasn’t going to like it, but she was giggling throughout the movie. I love the cast of characters too, especially Weird Girl and her cat Mr. Whiskers.

I want to share with you one of my favorite parts of the movie.

 
Frankenweenie is currently playing in theaters right now! If you are looking for a movie to watch with your children, this might be something you will want to see.
