Mary J Blige Records Song For The Help

- brandy3

Based on one of the most talked about books in years and a #1 New York Times best-selling phenomenon,  “The Help” stars Emma Stone (“Easy A”) as Skeeter, Academy Award–nominated Viola Davis (“Doubt”) as Aibileen and Octavia Spencer as Minny—three very different,
extraordinary women in Mississippi during the 1960s,  who build an unlikely friendship around a secret writing project that breaks societal rules and puts them all at risk. From their improbable alliance a remarkable sisterhood emerges, instilling all of them with the courage to transcend the lines that define them, and the realization that sometimes those lines are made to be crossed—even if it means bringing everyone in town face-to-face with the changing times. Deeply moving, filled with poignancy, humor and hope, “The Help” is a timeless and universal story about the ability to create change.

Pirates Of The Caribbean GiveawayClosed

- brandy3 41 Comments

Pirates Of the caribbean is #1 at the box office and has been great reviews. I can’t wait to see it!

Produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and directed by Rob Marshall, “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” captures the fun, adventure and humor that ignited the hit franchise—this time in Disney Digital 3D. Johnny Depp returns to his iconic role of Captain Jack Sparrow in an action-packed adventure. Crossing paths with the enigmatic Angelica (Penélope Cruz), he’s not sure if it’s love—or if she’s a ruthless con artist who’s using him to find the fabled Fountain of Youth. When she forces him aboard the “Queen Anne’s Revenge,” the ship of the legendary pirate Blackbeard (Ian McShane), Jack finds himself on an unexpected adventure in which he doesn’t know whom to fear
more: Blackbeard or Angelica, with whom he shares a mysterious past. The international cast includes franchise vets Geoffrey Rush as the vengeful Captain Hector Barbossa and Kevin R. McNally as Captain Jack’s longtime comrade Joshamee Gibbs, plus Sam Claflin as a stalwart missionary and Astrid Bergès-Frisbey as a mysterious mermaid.

I have a Pirates of the Cribbean prize pack to giveaway to one US reader:

Winner will receive a Adult t-shirt, bandana and tattoos.

To enter: Tell me your favorite Jack sparrow moment from any of the Pirate movies? Mine is when he saves elizabeth and says “Clearly you’ve never been to Singapore.”

    Mickey Great Outdoors With Mickey Mote

    - brandy3

    Join Mickey and all his friends as they explore the great outdoors!

    Episode List:

    • Never before Seen: Fish Story– Daisy wants to find a fish friend for her goldfish Goldy-and we help her find her goldfish in the Jungle where we’re aided by mysterious conga drummin Jungle Pete! Boom-boom-bap-boom.
    • Mickey’s Camp Out- Today Mickey and his friends are going to earn clubhouse camp out badges by completing two tasks-setting up camp and fishing for gummy fish. Everyone is planning to camp with a tent buddy, but Donald decides to camp by himself and he soon learns that camping with friends is more fun than camping by yourself.
    • Mickey and Minnie’s Jungle safari– Minnie is determined to snap a photo of a rare Hula Hibiscus that only blooms once a year. So the sensational gang go off on a jungle safari and explore new territory to find the legendary flower.
    • Daisy in the Sky– On balloon day, daisy grabs a large batch of balloons and gets literally carried away along with Minnie and Pluto, who couldn’t hold her down. Mickey Donald and Goofy kick into high gear to save their friends: they use a giant candy cane to rescue Pluto, a party horn to warn animals out of the way, a piggy bank to help weigh down one side, and a toy hammer to fix the ferris wheel.
    • Daisy’s Grasshopper-Daisy has a new pet grasshopper named Wilbur, but the playful hoppin fella hops away-and we help all our clubhouse friends hop after him and find him before the end of the day. Boing-boing!

    I love that the kids can interact with the movie, The Mickey Mote allows kids to answer questions during the movie and so the kids actually have to pay attention. The questions are visual and also educational. We have 3 Mickey Motes now so all my kids sit and answer the questions even though only one mote is turned on. My kids want to go camping now that they see how much fun Mickey has had outdoors camping! Plus it was a great change of tune that this dvd has an unseen episode. We usually watch the same episodes over and over again on TV.

      This is a fun kids film on a great classic. I love Romeo and Juliet, but it’s hard to introduce it to the kids because of the violence and death. This a great storyline for the kids, It’s not exactly correct with the original storyline but very close.   There are not a lot of funny parts in the movie, but there are some. At the end Gnomeo and Juliet are trapped by  lawnmower that attacks Juliet’s tower. Everyone thinks they are dead, but they make it through and live happily ever after!     One of my kids favorite parts was when Gnomeo and Juliet first meet and sing. I personally think that adding a gnome with barely any clothes on skipping through through the garden while singing was a hilarious perfect touch to the movie.

    ***This movie is the best Disney Teen Movie that features singing, Better than Sharpay, High School Musical and Camp Rock. 5 teens all in detention come together to start a band, through it all they have so many struggles. Fear, family and competition hold them back a little, but they stand up for what they believe in and in the end make it big. The songs are so catchy they get stuck in your head for days.  I love the Rock along feature, because you can sing along with the band and the lyrics are even posted for you.
