Spider Man Far From Home – Fun For the Whole Family

October 1, 2019 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

The other day I had a ton of fun watching Spider Man Far From Home with my family. We tried out a ton of fun activities (listed below) and even made a Mysterio Cupcake. Even better though, we got to spend time together as a family and take in a great movie that really moved the story along for Spider Man. As a lifelong Spider Man fan, I have loved seeing this character come to the big screen. There have been some versions that have been better than others, but for me Tom Holland and his portrayal of Spider Man has been the best of the movie Spider Man characterizations.

I have to say that I was excited to see the first Marvel release after Endgame and I wanted to see what would happen with Peter Parker and others coming back after being gone for 5 years. After watching this movie I have to say that it blew me away. The CGI and effects were amazing and the character of Mysterio is one that you have to question as you go through the movie. I felt that the writers did a good job at encapsulating the essence of Mysterio from the comics in this movie portrayal.

The Director did a great job in this film to tie in End Game and even some connections with past Spider Man movies. I also loved seeing Peter and MJ getting closer and finally looking at the relationship that they have. (I am trying not to offer any spoilers)

This is definitely a movie that I would highly recommend for all. The movie leaves you on the edge of your seat, and I, for one, cannot wait for Spider Man to return!

Pepper Goes Nuts For a Nine Lives Movie Night #CatHomeMovieNight #NineLivesInsiders

November 16, 2016 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

MEOW! These humans of mine seems to always watch movies, but none of them ever seem to catch my eye. I would rather take a cat nap myself usually. It was different this weekend though. My humans were acting a bit crazier than usual, and I did not know that there was going to be some fun for my brother and I too. So my dad who calls himself the Dad of Divas told me that this movie was about a guy who gets turned into a cat to right some wrongs. Sounds like something all humans would learn from, especially my humans.

My humans always think we have it so easy, but it is not that easy to be a cat!

About Nine Lives

Tom Brand (Kevin Spacey) is a daredevil billionaire at the top of his game. His eponymous company FireBrand is nearing completion on its greatest achievement to date – the tallest skyscraper in the northern hemisphere. But Tom’s workaholic lifestyle has disconnected him from his family, particularly his beautiful wife Lara (Jennifer Garner) and his adoring daughter Rebecca (Malina Weissman).

Rebecca’s 11th birthday is here, and she wants the gift she wants every year, a cat. Tom hates cats, but he is without a gift and time is running out. His GPS directs him to a mystical pet store brimming with odd and exotic cats- where the store’s eccentric owner- Felix Perkins (Christopher Walken), presents him with a majestic tomcat, named Mr. Fuzzypants.

En route to present his daughter with her dream pet, a bizarre turn of events finds Tom trapped inside the body of Mr. Fuzzypants. Adopted by his own family, he begins to experience what life is truly like for the family pet, and as a cat, Tom begins to see his family and his life through a new and unexpected perspective. Meanwhile, his family adjusts to life with an odd and stubborn cat, and his son David (Robbie Amell), steps up in ways Tom never expected.

If any hope exists of returning to his family as the husband and father they deserve, Tom will have to learn why he has been placed in this peculiar situation and the great lengths he must go to earn back his human existence.

Peppers’ Thoughts on the Film

As I said I usually fall asleep during movies, but this was a fun one. I loved seeing the cats ruling the roost in this movie and as I said, that guy learned his lesson by walking a few steps in a cats’ pawprints. It was not just me, but my sister and brother and even my humans seemed to like the film too. They were laughing and had smiles on their faces throughout the movie which I guess is a good sign. I tend to be a action freak and this movie delivered. I loved all of the action and even though there were some dogs (BOO) in the film. I give the film two paws up! Watch this with your family for a great night together!

Disclosure: As a Fox Home Entertainment Insider I was sent the film, information and promotional products. As always all thoughts belong to Pepper and have not been influenced!

Having A Home Best Family Movie Night Ever!

August 4, 2015 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

I was not lucky enough to see the movie HOME when it was in the theater (though the rest of my family did). However, in saying that I was very excited to see the movie, as I loved the actors who were selected in the movie and my family all raved about how funny the movie was and how I HAD to see it. That being said I was excited to be asked to have a viewing party with my family to have some fun together and get into the movie action, and I wanted to share our experience with you!
