****We absolutely love Victorious, it’s one of our favorite shows on Nickelodeon.  This dvd features some of our favorite episodes like Sleepover at Sikowitz’s where each of the kids has to improvise without breaking character. Tori dresses up as a cop who wears way to much red lipstick and is obsessed with raisin Bran. It is so hilarious.  This dvd also features our favorite Victorious movie: Freak the Freak Out.  where Tori, Cat and Jade trick two snobby girls into think Tori is a hideous girl, to win a singing competition.  If you have volume 1, you definitely need to add this volume to your collection.
Retail: $19.99 but you can find on Amazon for $13.99

Lion King Blu-ray Combo Pack GiveawayClosed

- brandy3 188 Comments

Even though Lion King 3D is in theaters now, It’s coming to dvd on October 4, 2011.

An unforgettable story, breathtaking animation, beloved characters and award-winning music sets the stage for “The Lion King”, a Disney classic that follows the adventures of Simba, the feisty lion cub who “just can’t wait to be king.” But his envious Uncle Scar has plans for his own ascent to the throne, and he forces Simba’s exile from the kingdom. Alone and adrift, Simba soon joins the escapades of a hilarious meerkat named Timon and his warmhearted warthog pal, Pumbaa. Adopting their carefree lifestyle of “Hakuna Matata,” Simba ignores his real responsibilities until he realizes his destiny and returns to the Pride Lands to claim his place in the “Circle of Life.” The all-star vocal talents—including Matthew Broderick, Nathan Lane, Whoopi Goldberg, James Earl Jones, Jeremy Irons, Ernie Sabella, Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Robert Guillaume, Cheech Marin and Moira Kelly—rip-roaring comedy and uplifting messages of courage, loyalty and hope make this a timeless tale for all ages.

I have one copy to giveaway to a US reader.
1 reader will receive the Lion King Blu-ray + DVD combo pack.

Quest For Zhu DVD Review and Giveaway Closed

- brandy3 48 Comments

 

The heartwarming tale of four lively young teens (who just happen to be hamsters) on a quest to find the Palace of Zhu, where they believe all their dreams will come true. Join the feisty and lovable Pipsqueak as she gets swept away to the other side of the Zhuniverse. On her adventure, she befriends Chunk, Num Nums and Mr. Squiggles, and when they arrive at the Palace of Zhu, they realize it is just the beginning of their remarkable journey. A mean-spirited and controlling reptilian creature, Mezhula, tries to stand in the way of making all of their dreams come true but, by working together, our true Zhu heroes save the day! Pipsqueak realizes she already had everything she ever dreamed of and all she really wants is to find a way back home.

**** Quest for Zhu was a bit different of a movie than I was expecting. I was expecting a movie that would go along with the Zhu Zhu playlets and such, even though I don’t know where that would go.  After Pipsqueak runs away from her owner she meets up with all the other Zhu Zhu and they head for palace of Zhu. When they arrive they find the palace has been taken over and have a bigger adventure to come and save the palace.

My kids loved this movie and even acted out the parts with their own little Zhu Zhu action figures.

Release date: September 27, 2011

I have 1 copy of Quest For Zhu to giveaway to a lucky US reader

BridesMaids on DVD Party

- brandy3
Bridesmaids Movie | Official Site for the The Bridesmaids Film Blu-Ray
Thirty-something Annie (Kristen Wiig) has hit a rough patch but finds her life turned completely upside down when she takes on the Maid of Honor role in her best friend Lillian’s (Maya Rudolph) wedding. In way over her head but determined to succeed, Annie leads a hilarious hodgepodge of bridesmaids (Rose Byrne, Melissa McCarthy, Wendi McLendon-Covey and Ellie Kemper) on a wild ride down the road to the big event.
my Party did not turn out the way it was suppost to with Just a few people showing up and the kids getting up interrupting the movie constantly.
According to my guests it was roll on the floor hilarious.It’s a funny chick flick, but it’s stupid funny.
To me the movie was kind of long, and a to more graphic than I thought it was going to be. I mean the movie starts out with a couple having crazy sex.  It actually makes me kind of glad I did not have an official wedding.  The movie ended on a happy note, and kind of tearful. I will say that this is not a movie to watch on a quest stomach and definitely not a movie to watch on a date.
Drink of the night for me at least:
Coke with just a pinch of jack!

Setting up for the BridesMaids Party

- brandy3

No I’m not getting married, BridesMaids is coming to dvd and blu-ray on Tuesday. I haven’t seen the movie yet but people have been telling me it’s hilarious.  20th Century Fox has given me the opportunity to have a BridesMaids themed party for me and a few friends. Things haven’t been going the way I want, but I still am going to try and make the best of it. The party starts tonight after the kidlets go to sleep. The movie is definitely not appropriate for them.

Some party prep, with the kids help.

 

I’m trying to keep things as healthy as I can, we are trying to eat healthy.

Streamers

Balloons, which my kids will not leave alone.

So I am setting up for the party tonight, hopefully everything goes as planned.

Disclosure: I received a gift card t help with party supplies.
