Alvin and The Chipmunks the Squeakuel soundtrack

- brandy3 1 Comment

I received Alvin and the Chipmunks The Squeakuel soundtrack and I immediately put it in my computer (I don’t have a stereo).  My kids were very excited to listen to this soundtrack, and were dancing around to some of their favorite songs. My daughters loved “Single Ladies”, they were singing along with the song.

This CD is great for getting your kids moving. If you would like to purchase your own copy please go here or to download some of the songs here

I was hired by the #WB to promote this CD, compensation will be received after full completion.

Synopsis: Based on the beloved best-selling book by Roald Dahl (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory), Fantastic Mr. Fox is family fun at its finest. Anderson employs a colorful supporting cast to bring his eccentric characters to life including Bill Murray (Lost In Translation), Owen Wilson (Marley & Me) and Willem Dafoe (Spiderman triology).  Packed with behind-the-scenes bonus features, including a special inside look at how stop-motion animation really works and much more.

Bonus features:

  • From script to screen
  • Still life, puppet animation

*****Fantastic Mr. Fox is funny and has a lot of child humor, but I do not think it is for young children. My ids did not really understand it. Still animation is wierd, it looked like a stuffed animal talking. Overall I thought the movie was okay, funny but wierd. It was very interesting to see how much  time and effort goes into Still animation.

*****My kids love iCarly, they think it is so funny. We’ve seen each movie and episode a bunch of times. Shelby Marx gets tricked by Neville a little boy with a crush on Carly, so she wants to really fight Carly. They show her the truth and everything goes good with the fight. iLook Alike they use three teens who they think look like them to trick Spencer and go to a MMA fight, things go bad and Spencer ends up getting knocked out by a MMA fighter. Date a bad boy was funny, Carly hates a guy then they end up dating. She thinks she has herself a real bad boy, but then finds out he collects pee wee babies.  the awards show was another one that was not really that funny. iCarly has an award ceremony and Spencer made one giant trophy instead of 10 little ones. so he rushes to get them done while the awards are being handed out.  My kids have watched this movie at least 20 times since we received it. they really like it!

Press Release – Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment today announced that it will launch director James Cameron’s history-making motion picture AVATAR on Blu-ray Disc and DVD on Thursday, April 22.

AVATAR on Blu-ray presents the ultimate high definition experience for home viewing audiences. Fans around the world will soon be able to discover every detail and relive every moment of James Cameron’s AVATAR in the comfort of their own home. Blu-ray is recognized for presenting optimal picture and sound, and now AVATAR’s masterful cinematography, art direction and visual effects will lend itself to awe-inspiring clarity when you become absorbed in the extraordinary all-encompassing experience in the living room.

Since its global theatrical release last December, AVATAR has continued to make motion picture history. Written by James Cameron and produced with his long-time collaborator Jon Landau, AVATAR stars Sam Worthington, Zoë Saldana, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, Michelle Rodriguez, Giovanni Ribisi, Joel David Moore, CCH Pounder, Wes Studi and Laz Alonso.

Oscar and Golden Globe® winning epic is the highest grossing film of all time, taking in over $2.6 billion in worldwide box office.  Director James Cameron takes audiences to a spectacular world beyond imagination, where a reluctant hero embarks on a journey of redemption and discovery as he leads a heroic battle to save a civilization.  AVATAR delivers a fully immersive cinematic experience of a new kind, where the revolutionary technology invented to make the film disappears into the emotion of the characters and the epic nature of the story.
