TGIF - What Will You Watch This Weekend?

Hi ya Gorgeous
Hello to a Friday post! Oh the weekend! Such sweet relief from the mega school commute.  Is it summer vacation yet?



I write today to ask you what will you and the fam be watching this weekend? So I have an invitation for you as well as a movie review for you today in this post.

First, if you are in the Tri-State area of Kingman/Bullhead City/ Needles/ Laughlin - come join me on March 28th for a sneak peek screening of Unplanned.  Oh this is going to tug some heart strings! It's a true story based on the life of Abby Johnson. She was once the rising star of Planned Parenthood until she saw what happens behind the curtain! It is a must see!




Unplanned film goes nationwide on March 29th - BUT - there are hundreds of sneak peek screenings happening nationwide, like mine, in Laughlin Nevada at the Riverside Resort and Casino Cinemas at 7 pm on  Thursday March 28th.  Come early at 6:30 pm for prayer in the theater before the screening starts.

To find a sneak peek screening near you - or, even to schedule a theater buyout and screen for your group, friends and family, find what you need here on the Unplanned film website.

So that's what you are watching next week but what are you watching this week? Well, I have a review of the Christopher Robin movies. Yes, plural, movies as in more than one.



There is the new Disney version, Christopher Robin starring Ewan McGregor and then there is the more biographical film, Goodbye Christopher Robin film starring Margot Robbie, Domnhall Gleeson and Kelly Macdonald by Gasworks Media.

As a child, I loved Winnie the Pooh, and Tigger too! All the friends of the 100 acres woods were "friends" of mine and I loved the books and stories and shows. Oh such beautiful memories. If you too have children, it's possible that they have seen, heard or read Winnie the Pooh. So that's where the mix up comes in. Both of these films ar every adult in tone and nature. Sad. Depressing.  Nothing that you would show a child and think that they would find joy and delight in, like Winnie the Pooh himself.



Goodbye Christopher Robin deals with the life of the child growing up during the war and his father writing the stories and them becoming famous. As the film tells it, Winnie the Pooh's success made life very difficult for young Christopher Robin.

I did like the film, but it's not something that I would want my child to watch.

I did not know enough about the Disney version of Christopher Robin and when my son saw the avatar on Netflix, he of course wanted to watch. I said yes, expecting a fun silly kid movie about live action Pooh bear, Piglet, Owl, Kanga, Roo, Eeyore and Tigger.


No. No not at all. It's a sad tale of a man overworking, ignoring the family and being absent in his life. 90 % of the film is sad and a harsh tale of life and then 10% in the very end is the rallying of adult Christopher Robin to his young daughter and wife with the help of the 100 acres wood gang of friends.

Just not family material.  Which brings me to close - next week's screening of Unplanned, is, family material. It's a chance to heal for those affected by abortion and find hope.  The film has an R rated, so please, bring your youth groups, young people and sit through the film and be available for discussion afterwards. You'll be glad you were the one to teach them about life instead of the world shaping their opinions for them!

See you at the movies!


These are few of my family's favorites!

SpongeBob Squarepants Out of Water movie review: thumbs up fun for the family

Hi ya Gorgeous!
How is your Saturday? My weekend is amazing and doing the things the family loves; hiking, dune buggy riding and now grilling steaks for an outside picnic dinner.

If you and your family are thinking of a movie to go see, it's ok and worth the time and money spent if you go see the new SpongeBob Squarepants "Out of Water" cartoon movie.






Mancub and I saw it yesterday and we both laughed out loud.

Something to know (spoiler alert) the movie posters shows the SpongeBob Squarepant show characters "out of water" and in their super hero states. Note to parents: this happens at the end of the movie. So if you are like me, and sitting there thirty minutes in waiting for the 'real' movie to start-you are in for a wait.



It's a really funny animation movie that is beautiful to look at. The television cartoon didn't skimp one bit on rendering those blocky forms from the tv on to the big screen.

There is no cussing. No potty talk of any kind. No real violence, only some mild cartoon violence. There are several Easter egg adult humor dialogue moments that will go over a kid's head but a parent will catch and snicker at. I think it's to keep the parents entertained and interested in the movie.



My nine year old loved it. Wanted to go back in and see it again. Seriously?

The majority of the movie is like a long tv episode but it's definitely worth it.

The LEGO Movie: Everything is Awesome!

Oh Gorgeous!
If you like LEGO you have got to see this movie! It's the first full length LEGO movie and it is so darn good you need to see it right now!

My son had a half day at school and it was perfect timing because we peeled out of the school parking lot and off to the movie theatre!

In tow for our The LEGO Movie viewing are Chima Laval and Old West Emmet from the movie cast.

 We stopped to pick up snacks on our way into the theater. My Mancub has been looking forward to this movie so much! He has already set aside  some of his allowance to purchase the mini figure set that goes with the movie.


 One of our favorite thing about seeing The LEGO Movie is the soundtrack created by Mark Mothersbaugh.
The title song sang by Tegan and Sarah is a fun, upbeat electronic pop song that neither of us can stop singing-and we are out of the movie! Everything is Awesome!

 My son was saying that his favorite thing about The LEGO Movie was not just about the LEGO and the master building, but the unique mini figure characters that were introduced, (can you say UniKitty?) and how all of the characters were taught to work together to defeat the bad guy.

As a parent and an adult sitting in the movie, yes there was ample amount of kidness included in the show, but there was also a fair amount of adult conversation and a tiny bit of innuendo that a kid wouldn't pick up buy an adult will.

The LEGO Movie has enough action to keep both kids and adults entertained. There is a very fun twist to the plot towards the end of the movie that I think the parents and adults will get a big laugh out loud from when they see it.

 Bottom line, if you are thinking about taking your 8 year old to see a movie, you can feel good about spending your time and money on The LEGO Movie. And, if you happen to be considering buying the 3DS game to match, I did, and it came with a Old West Emmet mini fig. The game so far is good says my son, but the movie is better. Enjoy!
