If you are a Disney fan like I am and are in the Sacramento area, this weekend you will want to go see Disney On Ice at the Golden One Center if you haven’t already!

This brand-new immersive ice skating experience brings the magic closer to fans than ever before through engaging elements that take place on the ice, in the air and in the seats.  An exciting participatory adventure delivering compelling storytelling through multi-leveled production numbers that immerse fans into the fantastic worlds of Disney-Pixar’s Coco, Frozen, Moana, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Toy Story and The Little Mermaid, 

On Thursday I was invited to a pre-party with my kids at the arena where we got to do some fun Coco inspired crafts, eat some snacks and do a meet and greet with Minnie Mouse! After the party was the first night on Disney On Ice that I was excited for. It has been a few years since I went to one of these shows and since I am a big Moana and Coco fan, I couldn’t wait to see them on the ice in Sacramento! …

The wait is finally over! The POPULAR anime series FLCL: Progressive and FLCL: Alternative is NOW available as a Blu-ray combo pack from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment that you will want to add to your collection. This highly anticipated sequel to the 2001 original FLCL: Progressive tells the story of 14-year old Hidomi and her classmate Ide, as the war between Medical Mechanica and Fraternity continues…

FLCL: Alternative, the third and final season centers on the misadventures of 17-year-old Kana and her friends, Mossan, Hijiri and Pets. Living a seemingly normal life, the group’s lives are flipped upside down when Mecha falls from the sky and arrives with the guitar-wielding Haruko Haruhara. Once again determined to take out Medical Mechanica, Haruko works to awaken Kana’s N.O. channel before the relentless iron takes over the world.

In addition to receiving a copy of this blu-ray combo pack, I also received this Haruko Funko Pop vinyl figure that I happily added to my Pop collection.

Last night was a fun night! We got to see the Monster Jam event at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento which I always look forward to going to. Normally when we go to Monster Jam are hoping for the Grave Digger to win (like always) but last night there was a couple trucks that I hadn’t seen before and I think the Earth Shaker might be one of my new favorites!

Last night we seen the following trucks…

• Grave Digger® driven by Brandon Vinson  (2018 Rookie of the Year)
• El Toro Loco® driven by Elvis Lainez
• Zombie™ driven by Bari Musawwir
• Megalodon® driven by Austin Minton
• Soldier Fortune™ Black Ops driven by Tony Ochs  (Winner Arena Freestyle 2019)
• Scooby-Doo™ driven by Myranda Cozad
• Monster Mutt® Rottweiler driven by Tanner Root
• Earth Shaker driven by Tristan England

Last night they had different events for the trucks to compete in and everyone in the arena with a smartphone could vote by using the www.JudgesZone.com website which was really neat. I didn’t vote but my daughter Hannah had fun using the app to cast her votes.

This past weekend my kids attended a screening that I was invited to for the new movie Dolittle that is playing in theaters NOW! My son is a huge fan of animals movies so I knew this would be a movie he would enjoy watching with a bucket of popcorn. I was right! I am always a fan of watching movies with Robert Downey Jr even though I normally prefer watching him in a superhero costume along with Captain America!

Robert Downey Jr. electrifies one of literature’s most enduring characters in a vivid reimagining of the classic tale of the man who could talk to animals: Dolittle.

After losing his wife (Kasia Smutniak) seven years earlier, the eccentric Dr. John Dolittle (Downey), famed doctor and veterinarian of Queen Victoria’s England, hermits himself away behind the high walls of Dolittle Manor with only his menagerie of exotic animals for company.

But when the young queen (Jessie Buckley, Wild Rose) falls gravely ill, a reluctant Dolittle is forced to set sail on an epic adventure to a mythical island in search of a cure, regaining his wit and courage as he crosses old adversaries and discovers wondrous creatures.

The doctor is joined on his quest by a young, self-appointed apprentice (Dunkirk’s Harry Collett) and a raucous coterie of animal friends, including an anxious gorilla (Oscar® winner Rami Malek), an enthusiastic but bird-brained duck (Oscar® winner Octavia Spencer), a bickering duo of a cynical ostrich (The Big Sick’s Kumail Nanjiani) and an upbeat polar bear (John Cena, Bumblebee) and a headstrong parrot (Oscar® winner Emma Thompson), who serves as Dolittle’s most trusted advisor and confidante.

This movie is FULL Of animals big and small! It also has a queen who is in need of being saved. It definitely has a fun story line of a doctor who can talk to animals.

Ever since I was a kid I have enjoyed the idea of super heroes! I was a fan of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and watching The Incredible Hulk on the big console TV was one of my childhood past times. I  now kind of lean more on Captain America as my favorite and the Joker, was a supervillian that I always found interesting. This month I finally had the opportunity to watch Joker. I received a copy on Blu-ray and now that the holidays have finally past I got a chance to watch the movie and see what everyone was talking about.

When I first heard about this movie when it came out in the theaters I had a totally different perception of what it may be about. After watching the Joker I have a different feeling towards the character. The movie had me feeling a little sad for the evil character…

“Joker” centers around the iconic arch-nemesis and is an original, standalone story not seen before on the big screen. The exploration of Arthur Fleck (Joaquin Phoenix), a man disregarded by society, is not only a gritty character study, but also a broader cautionary tale.

If you haven’t seen the movie or the trailer, take a peek here…

Joker is available on Blu-ray, DVD and on Digital too!
