Rock Stars DVD Review

"Rock Stars" was released August of 2012 and can be found at Redbox locations, Target, Walmart, and Amazon.com.  It is rated PG and runs about 78 minutes.  This move features the voices of Glee's Jane Lynch and is nominated for the Robert Award of Best Children/family film of 2012.  In the film, viewers learn that it's not easy being a lowly earthworm.  Gloria and Barry live at the bottom of the food chain.  But one day an old disco record turns Barry's life upside down as he decides to make the worlds' greatest disco band.  Gloria Joins in on the fun and rises to stardom as a singing sensation.  They have no arms and no rhythm, but earthworms can boogie too!  My Review: I truly enjoyed this animated kids movie.  I don't ever recall watching a movie that star worms for characters.  Who would have ever thought a worm being so vibrant when they don't have feet or arms.  The movement of the worms wa...

Smitty DVD Review

About the Movie: Smitty was released in July 2012 and stars Peter Fonda, Mira Sorvino and Louis Gossett Jr., the movie tells the story of thirteen year old Ben and his struggling, single mother who has had enough of her son's mischief. Ben is sent to spend the summer in Iowa on a farm with his estranged grandfather, Jack.

Between the dog and a friendly neighbor, Ben soon learns life lessons about friendship, family and responsibility. Smitty is rated PG and can be found at Redbox locations, Target, Wal-Mart, and Amazon.com. My review: To be honest through out the movie I kept thinking I have seen this movie before, which I have not but the story line is so similar to many movies I have seen.  So it might be a bit predictable but it was still a fun movie to watch.  I suggest the age perfect for this movie would be 8-12 year-olds.  There is some violen...

The Avengers Review

Yes I know that this movie debuted weeks ago but to be honest we do not go to the theater very often, but since everyone was talking about this movie and it was our anniversary we thought we would go and enjoy it!  And we both did!!!   The night before going to The Avengers  we found Thor on netflix.com   I do have to say that both movies were great and I am glad I watched them in order.  :)   Everyone has heard that this movie grossed 200 million dollars it's first weekend in the box offices so it is no surprise that I felt I was the last one to see it.  LOL  So what did I like most about it?  First, let me just say that the car ride home with my husband we were discussing all the parallel links to the movie and the Bible!  :)  Very neat!  One line that I absolutely loved hearing was "There is only one God, Ma'am, and I'm pretty sure he doesn't dress like that."   The other line I liked w...

"Rango" Review

The family and I made Friday night a movie night.  We picked out "Rango" but never read any reviews we just assume another kids movie. I was highly disappointed in this movie.  There was some minor swearing and bad adult humor.  All in all I thought it was distasteful and it lost my daughters attention which was fine cause it was a movie I would never have her watch again.  I did not realize the movie was PG and not G so that would explain some of the above.
