'Ernest and Celestine' and Mom's Night Out'

Today I have two trailers to share! They both look good but one of them is really making me excited! I'm going to save the best for last and start with ' Mom's Night Out'. Here is the trailer. That looks like some good clean fun to me! I don't think it's going to be Earth shatteringly good, I think it will be enjoyable. A nice way to spend two hours after a long day. That's what that trailers says to me! The fact that is has both Sean Astin and Patricia Heaton also gives me a lot of faith in the movie! Hopefully, I'll be right! Now it's time for 'Ernest and Celestine'. This movie is hand drawn. That immediately caught my attention. It's absolutely gorgeous! Take a look! It looks so cute, creative, and heartwarming! I love it! I know it came out a few years ago in France and that it's nominated for an Oscar now. Sometimes I really wish the international release dates weren't so incredibly delayed! We should have acces...

Monsters University ~ Good Fun for Everyone

Happy Monday movie lovers! Yesterday I had the great joy of watching 'Monsters University'. Yes, I am a fully grown adult and I went to see a children's movie without any kids. That's just the way I am! What can I say, I'm young at heart. The detail of Sully's fur never ceases to amaze me! 'Monsters University' is the highly anticipated prequel to 'Monsters Inc.' If you think about it it's really quite genius. 'Monsters Inc.' came out 12 years ago. Say you were 6 when the movie came out, the story would relate to you personally because it's all about a small child. Now, 12 years later, all the 6 year olds are now 18 and getting ready for college and BLAM! 'Monsters University' is there to relate to all your fresh new adult situations. Clever clever Disney-Pixar. On to the movie itself. 'Monsters University' follows the two protagonists from 'Monsters Inc.', Mike and Sully,  as they adventure the...

Here Comes the Boom

What can I say about 'Here Comes the Boom'? This movie is not what you expect! If you have seen any of Kevin James' other work you probably think that it will pretty much be like that. It's not. This movie has a very serious attitude. Yes, there are comedy elements and humour throughout, but the primary storyline it taken entirely seriously. 'Here Comes the Boom' is a movie about a schoolteacher, Scott (Kevin James), who decides to take up MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) to help bridge the gap in the school's budget and save his friend's job. He is, naturally, a middle-aged school teacher who has only some college wrestling as experience. Through some connections he manages to find a trainer/coach and he is off to the cage. I expected some comical cage fighting but I was wrong. There are several, hardcore, bloody-faced, 'Rocky' Style fight scenes. Men will like this movie. The balance for that is a heartwarming story of self improvement and renewed ...
