Spirit Untamed Movie Night, Fun For The Whole Neighborhood!

September 5, 2021 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

Spirit Untamed is the next chapter in the beloved franchise full of adventure, family and friendship. Free-spirited Lucky Prescott moves to Miradero to join her estranged father. She is decidedly unimpressed with the sleepy town until she discovers a unique tie to her late mother, who was a fearless horse-riding stunt performer. She quickly forms a bond with a wild mustang named Spirit and makes two new pals who love horses as much as she does. When a heartless wrangler plans to capture Spirit and his herd, Lucky and her friends set off on an epic journey to rescue the horse who has given her an unbreakable connection to her mother’s legacy.

Due to the abundance mosquitos that tried take us away, our outdoor movie night was turned into a garage movie night. Add a little popcorn, friends and a good movie and you can enjoy a movie anywhere.

We settled in with the light-hearted, animated movie, Spirit Untamed. This film follows a strong-willed girl, named Lucky, through a whirlwind of adventure. After her mother’s passing, Lucky and her aunt go to spend the summer with her estranged father. Along the way, she encounters a wild stallion, she properly names Spirit. Their connection is instant, quickly becoming close. Although Lucky’s new friends, Pru and Abigail, teach Lucky her way around a horse, her father has many concerns about his young daughter and a wild horse. Especially considering her mother died in a horse-riding accident. Soon, Lucky learns of a broke, callous wrangler who threatens to snatch Spirit and his herd and sell them at auction. Fearing for Spirit’s freedom, Lucky and her friends, set out to rescue Spirit and his herd. The adventure shares the strength that bonds friendship and the ability to be fearless!

This movie was enjoyed by the kids and adult alike. Although, definitely appropriate for all ages, this film targets an adolescent demographic. The diversity in the characters, music, sweet story, and of course, the horses made this movie a fan favorite for our little viewers!

Marvel Movies Your Kids Need To Watch This Spring

April 27, 2021 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

As a parent, one of the biggest challenges you face is entertaining the kids while they are at home. From giving them books to read, a craft table to play with, or bringing them to the park for football – there are many choices you can make but many of them involve active involvement.

If you are looking for a way to keep the kids entertained while you do other things around the house this week – TV is a great idea. There are various types of gadgets your kids can enjoy throughout the day but TV is always a great way to keep them calm and out of trouble while you do things around the house.

Today we want to talk specifically about Marvel Movies and the MCU. If your child has never seen a Marvel movie before – we have some great choices to start them off with that will introduce them to key characters, teach them important moral lessons, and provide them with entertainment.

Avengers Assemble

The first film you should get your children to watch this spring is Avengers Assemble which came out in 2012. This is the first team-up for the titular team and will allow your children to get to know some of the best superheroes around in a fun story that has many layers. This movie features Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, Thor, Hawkeye, and Black Widow and is a brilliant action and adventure film all around.

Iron Man

Iron Man is a film that came out in 2008 and is the birth of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Iron Man, or Tony Stark, is a selfish billionaire who learns throughout the film how to become a hero and put others first. There is some amazing action in this film as well as humor making it a perfect choice for the kids at the weekend.

Captain America: Civil War

Steve Rogers is perhaps the most stereotypical hero in the whole MCU. His courage and good heart make him the perfect role model for your kids. This third installment in his trilogy features the biggest cast of superheroes before Infinity War and it also introduces the world to Spider-Man and Black Panther for the first time. You child will love the epic airport battle as well as seeing all of their favorite heroes interacting together for the first time.

Ant-Man

Ant-Man might have a silly name but this film is not only funny but also an example of a brilliant heist movie. Your kids will love the playful way that Paul Rudd portrays Scott Lang and you’ll be able to see some hilarious action sequences including a giant Thomas the Tank Engine toy. It is a great movie to watch for a laugh as well as a relatable superhero that shows anyone is capable of greatness if they just work for it and believe.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is known for its epic films as well as the intricate plot that weaves through every film. But as well as this, each hero has a story, and lessons are learned throughout that your children can also learn positively from.

Movie Review – Upside-Down Magic

December 17, 2020 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

About the movie

In Upside-Down Magic, when 13-year-old Nory discovers she can flux into animals and best pal Reina can manipulate flames, they enter the Sage Academy for Magical Studies. But Nory’s wonky magic and tendency for turning into a “Dritten” – a half-kitten, half-dragon – lands her in a class for those with unconventional powers, and she and her classmates must prove that their upside–down magic beats right-side up!

Cast

Izabela Rose as Nory Boxwood Horace;
Siena Agudong as Reina Carvajal;
Kyle Howard as Budd Skriff;
Max Torina as Andres Padillo;
Elie Samouhi as Elliot Cohen;
Alison Fernandez as Pepper Paloma;
Vicki Lewis as Headmaster Knightslinger;
Yasmeen Fletcher as Chandra;
Callum Seagram Airlie as Phillip;
Cynthia McWilliams as Professor Argon;
Elaine Hao as Professor Han;
Amitai Marmorstein as Professor Lewis

My Take on the Movie

As someone that has read the book, I will say that the storyline and characters of this movie mostly don’t follow the book. There are a number of extras and the storyline is a bit different, with new characters that were not in the book itself. That being said though the movie was still a fun movie for the whole family to watch together.

The movie had a very diverse cast which was great to see. Whether you have read the book or not, I would still recommend the movie as a family friendly movie. If you have read the book, go into watching the movie with a clean slate. Enjoy the movie, the characters and the plot and you will find that it was a fun way to spend some quality family time.

Playing With Fire – Available Now

February 15, 2020 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

Playing with Fire

In Playing with Fire you find John Cena and others as fire jumpers showing a super masculine, organized atmosphere that gets turned upside down when they rescue three kids from a cabin fire. I can say that my family and I did not know what to expect in this film but we found that it was a fun family movie that was heart-warming, funny, action-filled and more. I loved the “family” that you see in the fire station in the movie and how this family embraces the kids, even when the kids throw their world into a bit of chaos. This is a really feel good movie and of course teaching a lesson, family even not blood related, can be just as happy as a normal family. And no this will not be a normal family which works for all of them. This is a great movie for the whole family!

About the Movie

Called “fun for the whole family” (Mark Pacis, Nerd Reactor) and “full of laughs” (Jamie Mariano, The Movie Elite), the hilarious family comedy PLAYING WITH FIRE debuts on Digital January 21, 2020 and on Blu-ray, DVD, and On Demand February 4 from Paramount Home Entertainment.

The Digital* and Blu-ray releases deliver even more laughs with wildly funny bonus content. Sit down with Captain Jake (John Cena) as he reads a bedtime story with an amusing twist; see what you missed in theaters with deleted scenes and laugh-out-loud bloopers; plus, enjoy behind-the-scenes featurettes with the cast.

When firefighter Jake Carson (John Cena) and his team (Keegan-Michael Key & John Leguizamo) rescue three siblings in the path of a wildfire, they quickly realize that no amount of training could have prepared them for their most challenging job yet – babysitting. While trying to locate the children’s parents, the firefighters have their lives, jobs and even their fire station turned upside down and learn that kids – much like fires – are wild and full of surprises.

BONUS FEATURES ON BLU-RAY COMBO & DIGITAL*

Spooky Fun With the Adams Family #Giveaway

October 10, 2019 by dadofdivas 6 Comments

Just in time for Halloween, The Addams Family and Addams Family Values will be released on Blu-ray in a 2-movie collection. As someone who grew up watching the Adams Family, I have loved watching the movies, the musical and I am excited to see the new animated movie that is coming out soon too. I know that some have differing opinions on both the these original Adams Family movies, but for me, they both were fun in their own way and the actors did a great job embodying their characters. If you have never seen these films and are fans of the television series, the films are rated PG-13 and contain “spooky” humor.

THE ADDAMS FAMILY Synopsis

When long-lost Uncle Fester (Christopher Lloyd) reappears after 25 years in the Bermuda Triangle, Gomez (Raul Julia) and Morticia (Anjelica Huston) plan a celebration to wake the dead. But Wednesday (Christina Ricci) barely has time to warm up her electric chair before Thing points out Fester’s uncommonly “normal” behavior. Could this Fester be a fake, part of an evil scheme to raid the Addams fortune?

ADDAMS FAMILY VALUES Synopsis

It’s love at first fright when Gomez (Raul Julia) and Morticia (Anjelica Huston) welcome a new addition to the Addams household — Pubert, their soft, cuddly, mustachioed baby boy. As Fester (Christopher Lloyd) falls hard for voluptuous nanny Debbie Jilinksy (Joan Cusack), Wednesday (Christina Ricci) and Pugsley (Jimmy Workman) discover she’s a black-widow murderess who plans to add Fester to her collection of dead husbands. ADDAMS FAMILY VALUES is debuting on Blu-ray for the first time.

As mentioned this DVD with both movies was perfect for Halloween. I got to get into the action with some a fun kit, that let me start getting into the action and releasing my inner Fester. I still need to find some other clothes to wear, but the bald look doesn’t look too bad!

It was great to be able to have both movies in one place and even better to binge watch them as the new Adams Family movie hits theaters very soon, so I wanted to watch these to get my Adams Family fix on!

Yesterday – Soul Mates Bonus Feature Clip

In this clip from the bonus feature, “Soul Mates,” stars Lily James and Himesh Patel chat about the close friendship and romance between their characters Ellie and Jack in Yesterday.

My Take on the Movie

I was excited to see this movie as I am a big Beatles fan and we were interested to see how this movie would not only portray the songs but also a world where no one knew who the Beatles were and their songs had never been written.

Himesh Patel is not an actor that I had ever seen before but he does a great job not only in portraying his own character, but also singing all of the Beatles songs. He has a great voice that allows him to bring new life the the Beatles songs that are presented in the film. Both the music and the story were strong and really make you think about how you would react if you were in a reality like this and whether you could or would give up a chance for everlasting fame, riches, wealth and more to hold onto your soul.

The movie had so many great songs throughout the movie. There were others I had wishes to hear but they could not have all of them.

All-in-all this was a great movie, with a great story, great music and an overall great message.

If you have not seen this movie, you should!
