I grew up loving the book and Disney cartoon version of Dumbo so I am so excited to see the new movie! It looks so good. Check out the teaser trailer.
ABOUT THE MOVIE
From Disney and visionary director Tim Burton, the all-new grand live-action adventure DUMBO expands on the beloved classic story where differences are celebrated, family is cherished and dreams take flight. Circus owner Max Medici (Danny DeVito) enlists former star Holt Farrier (Colin Farrell) and his children Milly (Nico Parker) and Joe (Finley Hobbins) to care for a newborn elephant whose oversized ears make him a laughingstock in an already struggling circus. But when they discover that Dumbo can fly, the circus makes an incredible comeback, attracting persuasive entrepreneur V.A. Vandevere (Michael Keaton), who recruits the peculiar pachyderm for his newest, larger-than-life entertainment venture, Dreamland. Dumbo soars to new heights alongside a charming and spectacular aerial artist, Colette Marchant (Eva Green), until Holt learns that beneath its shiny veneer, Dreamland is full of dark secrets.

I am a 80's / 90's kid and I love sharing the toys and shows I used to watch with my kids. I am so glad my kids love watching these old movies and shows with me too. As a kids my favorite cartoon was Woody Woodpecker so when I found out they were doing a live action/ animated film I was so excited! I used to love the humor and trickery this bird always showed in each cartoon. His iconic laugh is something I will never forget. So I had to share this with my kids.
We got a advance copy of the dvd and I couldn't wait to sit down with my kids and watch it. We ll loved the pranks and humor in the movie. There was the perfect amount of action and comedy to keep us all entertained. Our age group varied from 72 down to 9 and everyone was entertained for the entire movie. There wasn't too much violence or anything so I would honestly say it is great for all ages. It is rated PG but I am guessing because of the mild violence from the poacher shooting tranq. guns and the all but honestly I really could see it rated G for all ages; it really isnt that bad. My girls thought is was hilarious and me and my husband laughed just as much as the girls. It has a great storyline with a happy ending that made us all smile. This would make a great family movie night movie. We all gave it 5 stars; 2 thumbs up! So check it out on February 6, 2018 on DVD, Digital and On Demand. http://uni.pictures/WoodyWoodpecker

Valentines is just around the corner so what's your plans? Are you going to fight the crowds and go out or just a queit night at home? I prefer a quiet romantic night at home. My perfect Valentines would be a nice candle light dinner, music, dancing and cuddle up with a good movie. Thats why I am going to tell you about 2 great movies out just in time for Valentines.
The first one is called Im in Love with Church Girl
Synopsis:
Miles Montego (Atkins) is a retired high-level drug trafficker who has gone legitimate—though he has not yet left his old friends and his old lifestyle behind. When he meets Vanessa (Bailon), a “church girl” in every sense of the word, he is drawn to her spirituality even though she’s nothing like the girls he’s used to dating. As Miles struggles to stay on the right side of the law, both he and Vanessa find that their faith in God— and each other—is tested to its limits.

The second movie is Be My Valentine

Firefighter lieutenant Dan Farrell (William Baldwin), a widower and single dad, has no interest in a romantic relationship at this point in his life, but when his team responds to a fire at a local florist shop, Dan cannot help but notice the beautiful owner, Kate (Natalie Brown). Inspired by his son Tyler’s (Christian Martyn) budding romance with another firefighter’s daughter, Dan starts to open up his own heart to Kate and asks her to his station’s annual Valentine’s Day Firefighter’s Ball. Just as he starts to fall in love, Dan is faced with an unexpected emergency call when Kate’s ex-boyfriend, Gavin (James Thomas), returns to town to win her back with a marriage proposal.

Being a mom of 6 kids going out of the house anywhere with them all can be a adventure. There has been times I had to take all 6 with me to doctor appointments and dentist appointments. It is completely crazy! Then top it off with taking that many kids camping or on vacation. Most people think am I crazy and I think probably haha. I must say though Comcast Xfinity On Demand Summer of Kids has been a huge help this Summer with everything we did!
What is this amazing Comcast Xfinity On Demand Summer of Kids thing I am talking about? Well it is this awesome program where you can download your kids favorite movies and shows onto you mobile devices like iPod, iPad, tablets, Laptop, etc. and then while your out your kids can watch them and it keeps them busy while your busy. This is great for long trips and for long doctors appointments. So you want to know more?
Comcast Xfinity has tons of Children's programming available on multiple screens and devices. We use it alot on our iPods and Laptop and Tablet. It is easy to use that my kids navigate through it by themselves. Best part is since I have teenagers, kids and toddlers there are shows for all of them. They can watch Dora, Blues clues, Nickelodeon, Disney and much more. This is wonderful for me!
Comcast On Demand's Catalog has over 1000 downloadable kid-friendly shows with Xfinity Digital TV and Streampix subscriptions. The Xfinity APP helps take the kid-friendly shows on the go during family trips or appointments or food shopping etc. This is great because we have been going camping, fishing and we have had alot of doctors appointments and still have more. Plus my niece is getting married soon and we will be driving 12 hours to go see her so this will come in so handy because there is only so much I Spy and counting cars and alphabet game you can play in 12 hours. We even tried coloring and other car activities but the kids get bored and watching their favorite shows keeps them entertained so they are not asking are we there yet? So where can you learn how to download this Xfinity TV Player APP well right Here.
One more great feature is Common Sense Media is integrated with Xfinity TV, providing a media ratings system based on child development guidelines so you can make informed choices about the entertainment you choose for your family. This means you can filter shows by categories like age and most-watched shows. I’m pretty picky on what my kids are allowed to watch even with my 12 and 14 year olds so I love knowing what they are watching and making sure they are not watching something they are not allowed to. So check out Comcast's Parental Control site to learn more about controling what your kids are watching.
So if you need a new way to entertain your kid or kids while out of the house, appointments, long trips, dinner out or whatever check out everything www.Xfinity.com/summerofkids has to offer you and your little ones. You will be glad you did! Also stop by and check them out on Twitter and Facebook.
