We are entering month 12,049 of this pandemic and we’re staying home as much as possible. I know I’m probably not alone in saying my kids have watched more TV this year than their entire lives combined. I used to be so good at prescreening their show choices, making sure what they were watching had …

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. My family did another popcorn breakfast, this time with the addition of Scooby Snacks, and enjoyed a morning off …
Let’s talk Kids Shows on Netflix. The only time I know I will get to have a cup of tea and a cookie (or eight) in peace and quiet is when the magical black screen turns on. And while my kids would love to watch Ninjago all. day. long, I sometimes insist they watch something …
I don’t think I’ve ever been so excited for a new movie release, just for something to alleviate the tedium of being stuck inside my house for going on four straight weeks. My family made popcorn for breakfast and plopped ourselves down in front of the TV to review Trolls World Tour for you all, …
Disney Pixar has just released their latest film Onward. I have to admit the first preview I saw didn’t interest me all that much; fantasy’s not really my genre. But my family sees a lot of movies and the more previews I saw, the more intrigued I became. Which, of course, means we were there …
Well, it’s finally here: the last chapter of the Star Wars Skywalker story. Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker has been 42 years in the making; can it possibly live up to the hype and everyone’s hopes? (According to the headlines of the movie reviews I’ve been trying so hard to avoid, the answer is …
Disney’s Frozen was released in 2013 meaning Frozen II has been six years in the making; my family and I went in with some pretty high expectations. And we no idea what the plot was. That actually turned out to be a good thing, because while I didn’t know what to expect, I certainly wasn’t …
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 …
I have never read Madeline L’Engle’s A Wrinkle in Time, conveniently avoiding that assignment in fourth grade. With the release of Disney’s movie version, my husband was inspired to read the book himself, and then, despite the fact that he didn’t particularly enjoy it, he decided to read it with the kid. Fortunately, she has …
