Prima Princessa Presents Swan Lake DVD review

- brandy3

Product Description: Put your dancing shoes on, and enjoy the show! Prima Princessa features the world-renowned Paris Opera Ballet performing excerpts from Swan Lake, narrated by the adorable Prima Princessa, herself! Between acts Prima Princessa guides you through ballet steps performed by School of American Ballet students so you can become a Prima Princessa ballerina too!

****My daughters were really excited about this movie as they want to be dancers/ballerinas. Watching The Paris Ballet perform Swan Lake was exciting, but the student excerpts were a little fast and confusing. My girls couldn’t keep up with the dvd, which was a little upsetting. It was fun to watch though, and made my daughters even more interested in ballet.

Disney’s Old Dogs DVD/Blu-Ray Review

- brandy3

OldDogs3DiscComboPackBluray.jpg

Description:John Travolta and Robin Williams star in Old Dogs, the hilarious family comedy that will have you howling. Two best friends have their lives turned upside down when they’re unexpectedly charged with the care of seven-year-old twins while on the verge of the biggest business deal of their lives. The clueless bachelors stumble in their efforts to take care of the children, leading to one debacle after another, with a gorilla and some pecking penguins — and perhaps to a newfound understanding of what’s really important in life. Featuring a riotously funny supporting cast including Seth Green, Kelly Preston, Matt Dillon and Lori Laughlin, Old Dogs is a laugh-a-minute comedy filled with heart.

Bonus Features:

  • Bloopers and deleted scenes
  • Audio commentary
  • Every little step- music video by John and Ella Bleu Travolta

Bonus on Blu -ray

  • you’ve been a friend to me-music video
  • Young dogs learn old tricks

****I didn’t think that this movie would be that funny, but it is, It has it’s boring parts too. The gorilla enclosure scene is hilarious, and i think Seth Green did a great job in that part. I also liked when Robin Williams and Kelly Preston were having dinner and he totally has the wrong idea of the conversation, just to be hit with a bomb shell.  I really like that me and hubby can enjoy a funny movie without having to worry about the kids walking around the corner and seeing or hearing  something inappropriate. This movie is for the whole family and is only rated PG.
