For awhile now it has been one of my favorite pastimes to read a novel with the motivation of watching the movie adaption once I’m done. From classics to new releases it’s so fun to read and imagine the characters and worlds and then see how directors and actors brought the same story to life. …
Warner Bros. just released their latest animated film Scoob! for both video-on-demand or ownership—another fun home release to break up the monotony of stay-at-home orders and the disappointment of no new movies at (currently closed) theaters.

With the blustery weather of December there is nothing better than snuggling up on the couch with Christmas treats and a family-friendly movie. So, whip up some peppermint hot cocoa and a holiday cookie (these are my favorite!) and queue up a Christmas film! …
Can I tell you something? I absolutely hate The Secret Life of Pets. That fact makes me sad because the teaser trailer made that movie look absolutely hysterical. And if it had just been about the relationship between a dog, his owner, and the new dog his owner adopts, it probably would have just been …
Do you remember the UglyDoll toys that came out way back in the early aughts (2001, according to Wikipedia)? Well, now in 2019 there’s a film about them. The family and I went to see it tonight, so here’s my movie review for you. The film is about one of these toys, an UglyDoll named …
My family had never watched the How to Train Your Dragon movies, but after catching a preview for newest one, I decided we had to see the first two because the new one looked pretty good! So, we introduced my daughter to How to Train Your Dragon, and we squeezed in a screening of the …
We’ve been waiting five years for this, folks (no, really!), but The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part is finally here! My family has always enjoyed the first movie as one that’s a great mix of kid and adult humor with some heart-string-tugging thrown in. I mean, seriously, as we learned tonight, we’ve been watching …
