Taking Chance

    Deeply Moving, 5.13.2013

|
Reviewer: Shannon Woolley (Orem, UT)
|
Kevin Bacon plays Lt. Colonel Michael Strobl who volunteers to escort the body of PFC Chance Phelps home after he is killed in Iraq. I kept crying all through the movie as I watched the love and respect shown to our fallen soldiers. There's no exciting action in the movie, no battle scenes. All it is is the quiet respect and reverence of one man and a grateful nation as the body is taken home. This is one of the most moving films I have seen in a very long time. It will make you appreciate every sacrifice that is given by our military.

I have loved Peter Pan (who doesn't) since I was little and would never have thought it could get any better than when I first purchased it on video tape. But this is just the best set ever! The DVD / Blu Ray combo allows me to have one for the kids and one for my Disney collection. The Blu Ray is superb!

One Night With the King
|
    Makes You Feel Good, 5.6.2013
|
|
Reviewer: Beth (Eau Claire, WI)
|
Hadassah becomes Esther as she is taken into the palace as a candidate to become queen. She is beautiful, talented and Jewish, but she hides it at the request of her uncle. Soon, she becomes queen, but misunderstandings and treachery combine to tear her and the king apart. Then, as the Jews are about to be exterminated, Esther must act to help others. It's a simple story. The cinematography is good, and the acting is fairly strong for a religious movie. I liked the idea that faith triumphs. They showed a lot more of the way of life for the women, and I liked that. It's an uplifting story to watch as a family.

Holiday Inn (Special Edition)

    Cute for more than Christmas, 4.24.2013
|
|
Reviewer: Sidney B. (, CA)
|
I know this gets watched a lot at Christmas, but it's really good anytime. Bing Crosby plays Jim, who wants out of the entertainment business and plans to buy a farm and marry. Ted wants to stay in show business and steals the girl. When she runs off to marry someone else, they now both compete for another girl at Jim's new inn, the one that's only open on holidays. There's singing all through the year, for just about every major holiday. Romance wins in the end. It's sweet and fun, for Christmas or anytime.

Going My Way (Universal Cinema Classics)
|
    Sweet Bing Crosby Movie, 4.24.2013
|
|
Reviewer: Tina F. (, CT)
|
Bing Crosby is a priest assigned to a parish in New York that needs help. The old father is a bit cranky and old and losing his ability to keep up. They need to raise money too. One of the things I liked about this is that there weren't any easy fixes. Even when they do have some success, it's modest. There's nothing very flashy as Father O'Malley (Crosby) brings the boys of the neighborhood around, but he cares about all of the people around. He helps bring them all together in a sweet, quiet way. I also liked the end as he gets ready to leave and does yet one more thing for someone else, just to bring them happiness. It's sweet and uplifting and sure to make you feel good.

Swiss Family Robinson (Vault Disney Collection)

    Campy Fun with a Good Family Message, 4.12.2013
|
|
Reviewer: Eleanor (Provo, UT)
|
There are some things about Swiss Family Robinson that are horribly outdated. My husband and kids laughed to watch the styrofoam rocks and logs (the logs were bending as they were going over people). The movie, though, still holds up to the test of time when you talk about the good message of a family loving each other and working together. They grow to love the area they're in, even with its hardships. They work together to keep themselves safe, and they make the best of their situation. It really is a very sweet movie.

Alex Haley's Queen
|
    Violent Historical fiction but moving, 3.27.2013
|
|
Reviewer: Shannon (Orem, UT)
|
This is a violent movie that also has sex in it. Though I say that right at the outset, neither the sex nor the violence is graphic or gratuitous. Also, while Alex Haley has been denounced as not being entirely factual with his research, his stories are compelling.
Queen is the story of his grandmother, half white slave daughter of the master of the plantation, and her struggle as slavery ends and she is accepted nowhere. As far as violence, there is war fighting, mistreatment of slaves and rape. As far as sex, there's the rape and also sex between master and slave. There's no nudity, but some of that is artful cover-up and use of scenery. There is also a lot of language, but mostly of the racist talk. There is a lot of the 'n' word, but it's also because it's historically accurate.
There is a use to all of this, though. It's a story of slavery and the brutal treatment that blacks received. It's a story of how someone can overcome even the worst circumstances to the start they receive. I think there can even be a lot of value in watching this with older children who ought to understand this part of history. It's a moving story of slavery that can help us all understand our past.

I purchased this video for my 2yr. old grandson that loves Elmo. It has been a great investment, as he watches Elmo use the potty, he can also use the potty. The language used in the video is kid friendly, and on a kid level (ex: booboo). The price was also very affordable. Thanks Mommy Bear Media!

A Tale of Two Cities

    Dated, but Wonderfully Done, 3.22.2013
|
|
Reviewer: Tanya Conners (Cedar City, UT)
|
Ronald Colman is the very best part of the film as Sidney Carton. His obvious affection for Lucie Manette leads him to make the ultimate sacrifice for her happiness. His acting is superb, especially as he makes his plans. The French Revolution was a bloody time, and the movie does well with that. Some of the other people are slightly overacted by today's standards, and the movie is obviously dated.

    Love Conquers All, 3.15.2013
|
|
Reviewer: Ally H. (Jordan River, UT)
|
You know I saw the back talking about her workaholic ways getting in the way of their relationship, but someone obviously didn't see the movie. She's emotionally fragile and can't commit. He comes on strong because he's already lost in love once before. It's a nice story about how loving someone can help you heal and open your emotions again. It's nothing deep, but it is well acted. My main complaint is the normalness and casualness of living together and sleeping together so soon after getting to know someone.

Emma (2009 BBC Version)

    Absolutely Wonderful, 3.13.2013
|
|
Reviewer: Shannon (Orem, UT)
|
Being a Jane Austen movie fan, I can't believe I missed this for so long! I love the Gwyneth Paltrow version too (it's a bit lighter), but this has some great things that the other misses. With two discs, this has more detail. I particularly liked the beginning where they explain how Frank Churchill and Jane Fairfax left the Highbury area. The connection back was so much clearer and made their presence more understandable. This one also gives clearer clues to some of the growing feelings that might, otherwise, take you by surprise. This is definitely worth the time and money.

A family falls on hard times and has to leave Boston. They end up in Beulah, Maine in a home that the postmaster has given them permission to stay in, while the owner is away. They start fixing it up and have multiple adventures while they also find happiness. There's also the stuck up cousin to make things difficult. It's a sweet movie, and I finally realized why my mother liked Burl Ives so much. He's fun and enjoyable here. The movie is something to make you smile.

Like all Nicholas Sparks' movies, something stands in the way of their love, and like all of his movies, there's a mild sex scene. The problem with this one is that I just didn't think the two actually liked each other all that much. I think Channing Tatum was cast for how he looked without a shirt. It's still a decent romance, so it's worth the time.I have, however, seen better of his.

Eliza is a widow with two children, living with her father-in-law. When he dies, she's about to lose everything to foreclosure. Gabe is a homeless traveler who agrees to stay and help until the harvest. Together they find joy in life again. There's nothing particularly new or innovative about this movie. It's just a quiet affirmation of love and faith, even in the face of adversity. I liked it because it gave me a smile and a renewed sense of faith in the world around us.

Reviewer: Sandy (, UT)

The storyline is clearly ridiculous. Two guys who hijack the missionaries' car out in the middle of the desert then take their places. It's unbelievable, but the situations they get themselves in are humorous. Not knowing the difference between the Missionary Training Center and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir (both MTC) is funny. Watching people struggle through the cultural norms of the LDS church is funny. Watching people change is a bit too easily done but it is a feel good part of the movie. Don't expect realism, but have fun.

Reviewer: Adam N. (Orem, UT)
|
Spider-Man is back in another storyline. This is vastly different from the other stories while still being true to the story. First, we actually see Peter's parents before they disappear. Peter's father was involved in the research that would make Spider-Man possible later. Peter's identity becomes known or suspected to people. I'm not sure I like that, but the rest of the story is full of the excitement and adventure that we've come to expect. Yes, there's fighting, but otherwise it's clean. It's a fun bit of fantasy to keep things going. Of course, they left it so there will be more too.

McLintock is the cattle baron whose wife left him two years ago. Now, she's back, along with their daughter, and the trouble starts immediately. She never said why she left in the first place, and things are rocky. Turns out she thought he was cheating on her. It's a Western version of Taming of the Shrew, complete with a couple still in love but too stubborn to show it. I wanted a little more explanation at the end, but it was still amusing, especially the mud fight and then McLintock and Katie at the end.

I know not everyone will agree, but I really like these movies. OK, Star Trek Generations is hokey with the time travel, but I liked saying good-bye to Kirk and seeing him a hero. The rest of the movies are a far more even set of scripts than the original Star Trek crew got. Troi is still a bit overdone as always. I especially liked Insurrection and the fight to protect others against injustice. It's a great bit of adventure and fun.

Baseball seems to be a good metaphor for life.

As I am the mother of an autistic child, who is very sensory-sensitive, I am very careful with what I put on for him. These movies have proven to be very calming for him. One of the few dvds I can rely on to not cause a meltdown.
My only complaint is with a couple sections from the original. Mainly: be warned that the dinosaur themed one is quite violet (we skip that), and the last one depicts the devil (much too scary for little ones).
Other than that, they are great! No complaints with the 2000 version.

Reviewer: Ethel M. (Goose Creek, SC)

Shrek is lots of fun, as he goes to meet the in-laws. He's insecure and worried about being accepted. The fairy godmother isn't all she's cracked up to be. It's a fun roam through the fairy tale world.

Reviewer: Sarah (Des Moines, IA)

Shrek is one of the most clever movies in a long time. It's original and funny. My only problem with the movie is the adult stuff put in it. The innuendo and silly adult jokes are out of place. The great thing is that the kids don't get most of it, so it's great fun for kids.

Reviewer: Christy Maurer (Massillon, OH)

Benedict Cumberbatch is brilliant as a modern day Sherlock Holmes. He is snobbish, psychotic, and a royal pain to be with, but he makes you LOVE him. Women around the world are swoooooning for him. The humor in this series is amazing. The writing and timing are perfect. If you have not seen this series, you need to! The 3rd comes out in 2013 and I cannot wait!

I like that Jenna gets to see that what's she's spending her time wishing for may not be what she really wants in the end. Her whole relationship with Matt is darling. Some of the other stuff, as she realizes she's 30 now, is not appropriate for kids. With that in mind, it's a cute look at what it means to be yourself versus being cool.

This movie is a bit preachy, but it's still very uplifting to watch someone dedicate themselves to trusting God and the blessings. As he overcomes his anger and learns to trust in God, he becomes someone who helps others find faith. It's even more inspiring to realize that this was based on their real life story.

Reviewer: Meghan (Hartland, WI)

I actually liked this movie, and my absolute favorite was the first movie of the series too. I think that Bella and Edward are a good example of how to have a good relationship again alot of bad odds and how to overcome scary situations. They make some pretty hard choices but I believe they do the right thing and aren't always out for themselves. As a adult I think the Vampires are a little tame but that is because it is geared for YA. Just be sure to watch it with your kids if they have any questions!

This movie is about sacrifice, courage and loyalty. Trapped behind enemy lines, they must get information out to save lives. I like that the action is good, but there's humanity too. It may not have been really popular, but it is very well done. It shows that war is awful, but people can be good under any circumstances.

I love Audrey Hepburn, especially in this movie. Here she's a young princess on official tour. She wants to escape from the confines of her schedule and runs away. While the official story is illness, she's off playing and runs into a hardened newspaper man played by Gregory Peck. He's bound and determined to expose her at play. Instead, he comes to enjoy this interlude as much as she does. It's a bittersweet movie with wonderful acting and fun moments.

I love Denzel Washington in this movie. He's the coach who's given control of the team when they're forced to integrate. It's a win or die situation because he'll lose his job the minute he loses a game. The kids hate each other, and the tensions run high. It's an absolutely wonderful movie about learning to like those you previously hated, overcoming racial prejudices and fighting for the right thing in life. It's a great movie to teach kids about Civil Rights and that era.

Remy is a rat who desperately wants to be a chef. Linguini just doesn't want to lose his job. They team up, and it's simply beautiful. There's something about reaching for your dreams that this movie hits wonderfully. I also love the part with the food critic. I think it's beautiful to watch him eat this food. The movie is funny but brings out those simple truths of food, following your dreams and fun.

As long as you can handle pictures of people getting throats slit, the movie is quite entertaining.

Brad Pitt is Billy Beane, the general manager of the Oakland A's, who has no money to field a winning team. His good players keep getting taken by richer teams, so with the help of Peter Brand and statistics, he sets out to build a good, cheap team. His scouts and coaches hate him, but he eventually starts winning. Enough to change the way baseball recruits. It's a great movie about how someone can prove the system wrong.

Robert Duvall plays the local hermit who decides to throw his own funeral party before he dies so he can hear what people hear about him. People come to see what it's about. In the end, he finally admits what went wrong all those years ago that turned him into a hermit. It's quirky. Bill Murray is the funeral director that can't believe what's going on, but he goes along anyway. They're great actors, and the storyline plays to their abilities. It's worth the watch.

How do you get over a major problem in your marriage? How do you forgive each other when things are just about beyond repair? How does turning to God help things that you think can't ever be fixed again? Those are the questions that Fireproof asks, and it does a pretty good job of making the case for why we need each other and God together. The only thing I don't like is the acting. Kirk Cameron is a little overdone, but if you can get over that, the movie is meaningful and moving.

    Great Imaginative Movie, 1.27.2013
|
|
Reviewer: Natalie Wahl (North Las Vegas, NV)
|
My family loved this movie. Our son is 8, so the bogeyman wasn't too scary. Younger children might find him overwhelming. We loved the emphasis on using our own special talents and gifts to help and the emphasis on playing and fun in childhood. The graphics were great, and the storyline was sweet. I don't generally watch a lot of the same movies as my son, but I would purchase this and watch it again with him. The characters are all funny, or scary, and delightful. We went as a family "date" for my sons birthday, and I was pleasantly surprised.
This movie is based on a book written by the same man who wrote the book that the movie Meet the Robinsons is based off of. I think the other book is Bob the Dinosaur. He is a great author, and movies based on his books generally turn out amazing.

Gigi is a gawky young girl at the beginning of the movie that slowly turns into a beautiful young woman, and that's when she captures the attention of Gaston LaCheille. Her family ranges from a rich aunt to the loving grandmother she and her mostly absent mother live with. Some of the subject matter is a little mature (whether to become Gaston's mistress), but the movie is very clean. I loved some of the songs, especially, "Thank Heaven for Little Girls" and "I Remember It Well." It's one of the last great musicals, and it's well worth the time.

Freeway is a dog found on the side of the highway and becomes part of the family, especially when he leads the daughter to finding love. Then, he gets lost after the wedding. The husband, preoccupied with his own life, doesn't see how much this means and wants to leave. The wife is heartbroken and sees this as a statement on their relationship. As they and other house guests search for the dog, we get a glimpse into their relationships. There's a bit of crass language, hence the rating, but the story is still good and touching.

It also tears at your heart strings.

Jeeves and Wooster: The Complete Series
|
    Excellent, light comedy, 1.23.2013
|
|
Reviewer: Meg (N. of NYC, NY)
|
This British series is a gem! No sex (although Jeeves works for and lives with Wooster, it is clear they are loyal friends with a platonic relationship), no violence and still delightfully entertaining due to the various scrapes Bertie Wooster gets himself into, generally as a result of one lady or other attempting to steer him toward the altar. Jeeves manages to extricate him by creative means that still allow both to follow the rules of their courteous and sturdy code. The language is a highlight, with excellent verbiage sprinkled throughout, as well as quantities of dry British humor. This series is a wonderful watch for lighthearted, engaging humor.

The comeraderie between these two (not so talented) outlaws (Newman and Redford) is brilliant and humorous.

The Christmas Shoes

    Nice Christmas Story, 1.18.2013

|
Reviewer: Susan J. (Boise, ID)

If you've heard the song, then you know the story. Just like the song, this makes me cry. Robert is busy with his career, too busy for his family, and they suffer. His wife befriends Maggie who needs a heart transplant but isn't getting one. It will jerk at your heart strings, but it does help you remember what Christmas is for.

    Little bit silly but good message, 1.18.2013

Reviewer: Jane D. (Twin Falls, ID)

This story sends a group of missionaries on a 'treasure hunt.' I was kind of bothered about missionaries wasting their time. In the end, though, I liked the message it gave. It ended up being more about what we treasure in life.

I appreciated this movie for what it shows about how hard it can be in that position. I wish I had seen more of others around him, but it was still a moving story about how one can try to do the right thing.

Katherine Hepburn and Henry Fonda gave some of their best performances as old people struggling with their lives as they get older. Norman (Fonda) befriends the young Billy,and they learn about life together. There's something true and right about how they protray people getting older yet still loving each other.

Oliver and Company (20th Anniversary Edition)
|
    Sweet Cat, 1.18.2013
|
|
Reviewer: Ann D. (Rio Rancho, NM)
|
Oliver is the stray cat on the street who wants a family to love him. In true Oliver Twist style, he's taken in by street thieves, but these guys are musical. He's in and out of trouble trying to find it. While the story is mashed up here and there, it's still fun to watch all the singing and dancing, even if it is by cats and dogs.

Reviewer: Elizabeth G. (Walnut Creek, CA)

Dolly sets up meetings for everyone, and in that vein she's decided she's setting herself up with Horace Vandergelder. He's stubborn and stingy, so she can't be obvious. There's chaos and silliness and a lot of singing. It's fun to watch and see Dolly outwit Horace.

Based on a real life story, how would you try to escape Communist Germany? There's the suspense of whether they'll make it and how they'll avoid the police. It's a good story to show kids who don't remember the history of the cold war.

    More Museum Fun, 1.18.2013

|
Reviewer: Meredith G. (Las Vegas, NV)
|
This movie isn't quite as clever as the first. This time the museum is being sent off to storage at the Smithsonian. Larry is trying to find a way to save is friends and ends up running through the back rooms of the museum late at night to stop others from taking over. The story is, of course, silly. However, it's fun to see the new characters. I especially liked Amelia Earhart and her story.

This is such a fun movie for the whole family. Down and out, Larry ends up with a job as a night guard at the museum. Things aren't what they seem, though, when he realizes the whole museum comes to life at night. How to control everything is a little harder for him though. There's laughs and excitement as peril comes to the museum too. It's funny and cute at the same time.

Akeelah struggles in the poorest sections of Los Angeles and gradually unites the neighborhood as she studies and becomes a contestant in the Scripps National Spelling Bee. Keke Palmer is great and sweet in the role as Akeelah. It's uplifting to see her overcome her circumstances, work hard and accomplish something great.

|
There are parts of Mrs. Miniver that drag, but the love that she has for her family among the ravages of war is wonderfully acted. Done during the war, it gave courage to those fighting. It's a bit dated now, but the courage shown in the movie is moving, and the end leaves you in tears.

Mrs. Doubtfire (Behind-the-Seams Edition)
|
    Comic Masterpiece, 1.11.2013
|
|
Reviewer: Grace Sanders (St. George, UT)
|
Robin Williams is a disappointment as a father who loses time with them during a divorce hearing. To get around that he dresses as Mrs. Doubtfire, a loving British nanny. He's hilarious as he becomes an old woman and especially where he has to be himself and Mrs. Doubtfire at the same time. His care for his kids is amazing, but the sad thing is how would their marriage have been if he'd been that dedicated before? Still it's one of Williams' best movies.

    Mr. Smith is Wonderful, 1.11.2013
|
|
Reviewer: Joan K. (Ontario, CA)
|
Frank Capra made some of the most idealistic movies there are, but they work. That's what's so great about them. Jimmy Stewart is Mr. Smith, who goes to Washington as a replacement Senator who's supposed to be a puppet, but ends up trying to do good. His scene where he filibusters the Senate is so moving. This is a great classic to watch over and over again.

Mr. Magorium's shop is alive and full of wonder. He decides to leave the shop to Molly, but Molly and the shop are both uncertain. The wonders cease, and no one knows what will happen. The story seems silly when you tell someone yet the movie is magical. I watched it smiling.

This movie was absolutely awesome!! It has the excitement that one is looking for in a romance movie.

A must movie for anyone who loves a good romance ..

Into the Woods

    Broadway at Home, 1.10.2013
|
|
Reviewer: Ethel M. (Goose Creek, SC)
|
First of all, this is a film of the Broadway play. It's also pretty long. The first part shows all the regular fairy tales come together and have a happy ending. The second act is entirely different. There were a few times where I didn't like what they were doing with my traditional fairy tales. After all, I like the fairy tales. In the end, though, I was happy with what they did. I liked that people learned to think, care and love and be happy with what you have. If you can't go to Broadway, this is a good second.

Chocolat
|
    Enjoy Life, 1.10.2013
|
|
Reviewer: Ethel M. (Goose Creek, SC)
|
Juliette Binoche is Vianne, the chocolatier that shows up in a small French town one day with her daughter Anouk. They've been wanderers before this, and here they are to start over again. As Vianne opens her chocolate shop, she tries to awaken the villagers to the pleasures around them. Unfortunately, the mayor and comte of the town resists and tries to turn people against her and her shop. Then comes Johnny Depp as the wandering gypsy. OK, really who doesn't like Johnny Depp?
The movie strays in some parts, but the idea of loving life and not hiding behind an authority figure (who is repressed himself) is a good one. My only caution would be that the movie, while clean, celebrates more the physical pleasures of life. I was more moved by the woman who pulled her life together than I was by the idea of enjoyment without reason. How many times, though, do we examine who we are, what we are doing, and why? Make sure you have some chocolate on hand, though, because you'll be running to the cupboard for it halfway through.

On her wedding day, Susan gets hit with strange energy from the meteorite that lands in the church yard. Now, she's Ginormica and locked away with aliens and other monsters. But things prove that monsters can be just what people need. It's a great parody of sci-fi and superhero movies for kids. I like the way it laughs at itself.

    Great Family Movie, 1.9.2013
|
|
Reviewer: Emily@Dirt and Pearls (Russellville, KY)

Brad Pitt does an excellent job, as always. The main character, Beane has no money to buy the right kind of players that he needs to have a winning team. Beane hires Peter Brand as a scout and he finds a way to come up with a team within their budget. They take a different approach than other teams behind the scenes and it changes baseball forever. This movie is about making the most out of what you have and that’s what Beane does. It’s a very feel good movie to watch!

Reviewer: Emma T. (Bountiful, UT)

Gil walks the streets of Paris imagining what it was like in the 1920's when Fitzgerald, Picasso, and Hemingway were there. Suddenly he's finding himself with them each night. His fiance in the present is more interested in parties and wine, while he gets lost in the past. It's a comic romance about how we always appreciate the past more than we do our own time. It's a quiet comedy for when you want to relax.

Reviewer: Andrea Woodfield (Schenectedy, NY)

I don't quite know how to review this movie. Gil is in love with Paris, but his fiance is in love with fancy things and parties. How they're even engaged is beyond me because they talk at each other and don't seem to know anything important about each other. Then comes what one refers to as a gentle fantasy as Gil encounters people from the 20's in Paris. In the end, it's a sweet film about dreams and the love of literature.

Reviewer: Penny A. (Corvallis, OR)
|
Drew Baylor just cost his company money--a lot of it. Then he finds out his father died, and he needs to go to Kentucky, to a side of the family they aren't close to, to retrieve his body. He meets a quirky flight attendant on the way. It's a bit of a journey about how to find peace with life. There are good moments, and there are some that don't quite make sense. It's a nice show of how even the worst moments can bring something good.

Reviewer: P. Adams (Corvallis, OR)

What I remember most of this season is the story of Mary going blind. There are all sorts of good stories, but the trials that face the family this year are particularly memorable.

Eloise At Christmastime

Reviewer: Joy M. (Salt Lake City, UT)

I personally found a little bit of Eloise to be predictable and a little over the top. However, my kids love it, and it's really for them. Eloise is sweet, and in the end she saves the day for those at the Plaza and shows them the heart of Christmas.

Fantastic Mr. Fox

    Fantastic plot, 12.31.2012
|
|
Reviewer: Emily S. (Sandusky, OH)
|
Fox longs for the life of a chicken thief again. He gets the whole animal community in trouble when he lapses and starts stealing from the farms nearby. They all have to try to escape, and in the process his son, Ash, comes to the fore. At first, I thought it was a bit weird, talking foxes and such, but it grew on me, as they tried to rescue themselves.

Leap Year

    Sweet Romance, 12.31.2012
|
|
Reviewer: L. Willis (Shreveport, LA)
|
Anna's boyfriend fails to propose after four years, so she follows him to Ireland to follow the tradition that a woman can propose on Leap Day there. Unfortunately, bad weather forces the plane down far away from where she needs to be. Now she has to go cross country with Declan, and adventures ensue. If you can't guess the ending, then you don't know romantic comedy, but it's still a fun trip to get there.

This movie is so wonderful, with a beautiful ending! It is great for all ages, it has wonderful music, action, lovable characters, and some fun along the way! I honestly can't find one thing negative to say about this film, it has a couple sad parts, but is a wonderful movie with a great message!

Reviewer: Maggie V. (Medford, OR)
|
The great thing about Knight Rider in a family is that the boys watched it for the car, and the girls watched it for the cute guy. I don't think it's as great as I did as a kid (nor is he as cute), but it's still fun to watch.

Come September

|
|
Reviewer: Morgan Park (Jordan River, UT)
|
Rock Hudson is a wealthy American who comes every September to Italy and sees Lisa. This year he came early, and everything goes wrong. His butler has been using his villa as a hotel. There's a gaggle of girls, a group of guys tries to seduce them, and he loses it all. From the opening music to campy songs, it's great fun. For someone who's used to getting his way, this is a comeuppance on a great scale. I'm glad I got this comic romance.

Reviewer: Tom B. (Sandy, UT)

Jurassic Park is a wild ride, almost from the get go. The dinosaurs are life-like, the adventure is great. Just keep in mind that this isn't for kiddies who'll get scared. For the right audience, it's a great thrill.

How to Steal a Million
|
    How Fun, 12.28.2012
|
|
Reviewer: G. Long (, NE)
|
I forgot until I watched this again how much I like Peter O'Toole. I've always loved Audrey Hepburn, but this is a classic comedy that I had forgotten. Hepburn is Nicole Bonnet, and her father loves to sell off fake artwork he's created. He keeps going despite her protests, and then it almost falls apart when her father lends a sculpture and then accidentally agrees to an examination as part of the insurance procedure. Nicole recruits Simon Dermott to steal it back before the fake is discovered. Hepburn is wonderful, and O'Toole is deadpan and perfect. I also love Hugh Griffith as the kooky father. This is a perfect way to spend a few hours as far as I'm concerned.

Jimmy Stewart is wonderful. I love this movie and what it says about how much one person can matter. I love how Christmas is saved for the family when others step in. There's something classic about how this makes a person feel better about themselves.

Reviewer: Heather Davis (Everett, WA)
|
Hugo's father dies, and he goes to live in the train station with an uncle who mysteriously disappeared. He secretly keeps the clocks running and avoids the police in the station. He steals gears from the toy maker in the hope of getting his automaton to work, believing that it will have a message from his father. When he gets caught and works in the shop to pay his debt, he meets Isabelle, and they work together to solve the mystery of the automaton. The movie doesn't go the way I expected, but it's still a wonderful adventure with a good message.

This movie is revolutionary in how it steps back and shows us a bygone era in the medium in use then. You have to have time to watch it, unlike how we nowadays just sit back. This movie requires your mind and full participation, but it is well worth it to see. The movie is crisp and engaging. The actors are wonderful. The music is completely appropriate too. Get this, sit back and be amazed at how people used to watch movies.

    Harry Potter is Wonderful, 12.24.2012
|
|
Reviewer: Hannah (Eagle Mountain, UT)
|
Harry Potter is a magical world for kids and adults. There are scary parts, so I'm careful to watch it with kids, but the way they work together to help each other overcome great challenges is good for kids to see. I also like the struggle of good versus evil.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Single-Disc Widescreen Edition)

    Harry Potter is wonderful, 12.24.2012
|
|
Reviewer: Fern James (San Diego, CA)
|
I love the Harry Potter movies, not quite as much as the books, but I still love them. The detail that went into bringing the book to life in this movie is astonishing. I think they did a great job with casting the story too. There's lots of adventure. The only thing is that with my younger kids, it's what we call a pre-dinner movie. That way they can watch it, have fun, and wind down from the scary parts so they don't have nightmares.

Happy Feet (Widescreen Edition)
|
    Cute, but preachy, 12.24.2012
|
|
Reviewer: Lisa (Denver, CO)
|
Mumble can't sing like other emperor penguins, but instead he dances. Mumble leaves home, only to find a lot of other penguins who will accept him for who he is. It's an enjoyable movie to watch, but I did get a little tired about all the environmental stuff painting humans as totally evil. So, have fun watching, but take parts of it with a grain of salt.

Hachi: A Dog's Tale [Blu-ray]

    Man's Best Friend, 12.24.2012
|
|
Reviewer: Jana (Grand Rapids, MI)
|
It's hard not to like a movie with a loyal dog. There are parts of the movie that went slowly for me, but the idea of having something so dependable is sweet. Unless you're really hard hearted, be prepared to have a few tears come to your eyes, as Hachi waits and waits for his owner to come home.

Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (40th Anniversary Edition)
|
    Dinner Is Great, 12.21.2012
|
|
Reviewer: Classic Movie Lover (Bluffdale, UT)
|
Guess Who's Coming to Dinner has one of the best casts to portray the family when as the daughter comes home with a new husband who happens to be black. It was groundbreaking at the time, and it still stands up because of the story and the actors.

Groundhog Day

Reviewer: Melody Owens (Springville, UT)
|
What do you do when you have to live the same day over and over again? Bill Murray's weatherman gets laughs as he tries to figure out how to get out of his trap. It's funny, and he eventually gets one day in his life right.

Bill Murray is a weatherman doomed for some reason to repeat Groundhog Day. There is a bit that is crass, but it is still a funny movie with a good message.

I love the music from Grease. It's toe-tapping and infectious to sing and dance to. Sometimes I wonder about the storyline of turning the good girl into a greaser, but the movie is fun and cheers you up no matter what.

Gorillas in the Mist
|
    Extremely Memorable, 12.21.2012
|
|
Reviewer: A Movie Buff (Midvale, UT)
|
Sigourney Weaver plays Dian Fossey, the woman who studied and tried to save the gorillas in Africa. The acting is excellent, and the story is memorable. My warning would be that the violence involved in the gorilla trade is emotional and hard to watch. Dian Fossey was truly a great person who sacrificed so much, but this is a difficult to watch movie.

Gone with the Wind (Two-Disc 70th Anniversary Edition)
|
    One of Greatest Movies of All Time, 12.21.2012
|
|
Reviewer: Lisa (Denver, CO)
|
There's not a performance in Gone with the Wind that isn't wonderful. You're drawn into the characters and all their flaws--Rhett the scoundrel, Scarlett the spoiled and determined socialite, and all the others. The war scenes are well done, the family issues play out, and there are so many memorable lines. Worth a watch any time.

Brave
|
    Not my favorite Disney princess..., 12.21.2012
|
|
Reviewer: B. Sinclair (Ringgold, GA)
|
As always, Disney/Pixar have out-done themselves when it comes to realistic animation. The colors and graphics in this movie are amazing. The Scottish accent is fun too, and my kids have gone around imitating it for days making me laugh. However, I found myself cringing through the movie because of the attitude of the newest Disney Princess. She is certainly not the type of royalty I want my three girls emulating. Disobedience and disrespect to our parents doesn't always bring about the happy ending that is shown in this movie. These moments in the film do provide plenty of teaching opportunities that we took advantage of.

Reviewer: Grace (St. George, UT)

I know that Gilligan's Island is campy and silly, but I still love to watch them annoy each other, come up with improbable inventions, and fail to get off the island no matter how many strange people come to visit. Sit down, suspend disbelief, and laugh.

|
Reviewer: Mary Mudd (Clarkson, Kentucky)

This is a fantastic movie about Vampires and Werewolves. They lead seemingly normal lives. Edward, one of the main characters, a Vampire goes to school and meets Bella, and they instantly fall in love. But the, theres Jacob, a Werewolf, her best friend, who thinks hes in love with Bella, too, and is very jealous of Edward, and hates him because hes a Vampire, and it causes alot of problems. Watch how they work together to make sure Bella stays safe. Lots of action, also a love story, and a great plot. And the best movie Ive seen in a long time.

Arsenic and Old Lace
|
    Great Comedy, 12.19.2012
|
|
Reviewer: R Ford (Elkhart, IN )
|
I ordered Arsenic and Old Lace from Mommybear because of the availability and price, but the delivery was very fast, even by USPS. Our family enjoyed seeing what we think is one of the best comedies of the B&W era. This DVD had the remastered, very clean video version. Cary Grant is at his comedic best, along with Boris Karlof and Peter Lorre. In fact, the entire cast was fabulous. We found ourselves laughing throughout the movie.

Frosty the Snowman

    Frosty Fun, 12.19.2012

|
Reviewer: Fern James (San Diego, CA)
|
Frosty is one of those classics that you love to watch with your kids. The selfish magician who doesn't see that miracle of Frosty, but only the money that it could bring him. Then there's the trusting Karen who wants to help Frosty and risks herself. It's a sweet story of belief and Christmas.

Gary Cooper is stuck in the middle of the Civil War as a Quaker who doesn't believe in returning violence. Then his son chooses differently, and he has to stand by and allow him his actions. Not only is it a beautiful story, but it also shows Quakers with compassion. A great story about how people treat each other.

I loved the Flintstones and the jokes and how Wilma and Betty always get the better of Fred and Barney when they try to sneak something past them. Some of the Marvin the Martian ones are great too. It's fun and clever. As added fun, the Flintstones is full of clever word plays with the rock themes.

Forever Strong
|
    Forever Strong, 12.17.2012
|
|
Reviewer: Wendy Howard (West Jordan, UT)
|
Forever Strong shows just how much teamwork can do to build someone up. It's about how one man almost throws things away but is given a chance to redeem himself. It's even better that it's based on the winning Highland team. It's not so much a movie about rugby, as it is about learning to overcome your mistakes.

Dance is outlawed and the new guy can't let it go. This one is so much better than the new version. There's something infectious in their rebellion and in their dancing. Sometimes it pays to keep trying.

    Unconditional Love at its Finest, 12.17.2012
|
|
Reviewer: Sarah Edwards (Des Moines, IA)
|
The movie takes unexpected turns, but I did like the idea of caring for someone and accepting them under any circumstances. Leo loves Paige even when she can't remember him, and even when she rejects him. I also like that a person's inherent nature doesn't change. It's a difficult but heartwarming story for those who believe that love means something.

Reviewer: Morgan Park (Jordan River, UT)
|
Fiddler on the Roof always moves something inside of me as I see people struggle with their traditions and beliefs and the love of family. Tevya is so good because he chooses love. There's so much to watch, the changing politics in Russia, the changing cultures and the way to go forward. This is one of the best movies.

Ferris Beuller is one of the smartest comedies to come out of the 80's. Ferris does what every high schooler wishes they could and is popular because of it. One of my favorite movies from the 80's.

Knowing the movie bombed, I wasn't sure what to expect. I really enjoyed it, and I'm not certain why it didn't do better. It's not Oscar-worthy, but this should have made Disney money. Watch it when you want an action movie and don't let the bad press put you off.

I probably should give it 3.5 starts, but I like John Wayne. I was surprised by some of the language, given the rating, but it was still very clean. I like this one better than the newer one because it's nowhere near as graphic with the violence, and the story is still well done.

This is hands down the funniest (clean) Christmas movie out there. Seeing the real world through Buddy the Elf's naive point of view makes for a good time. The storyline is also very original. There are a few words I wouldn't want my little ones repeating so it really does earn the PG rating, but other than that this movie rocks.

Reviewer: Kathleen Manthey (Hollister, CA)
|
I saw the movie because I had read the book. As is the usual case, the book is better than the movie. Now, I'm not saying it was bad. Hunger Games was indeed a good movie. However, unless you've read the book first, I think the movie will be lost on you. The story moves along and holds your interest, even speeding up your heartbeat a bit on the more intense scenes. I DO NOT recommend this movie for children. The kid's killing of one another is too violent in my opinion.

Columbo always surprises with his ability to get to the bottom of any mystery while seeming like a bumbling idiot. While it is a little old, the mysteries and Peter Falk are still as great as ever.

The new movie Wreck It Ralph is wonderful. I took my kids and grand kids and we all loved it. There are 7 of us ranging from 7 to 55 years old. It is a great story about a character that feels unappreciated, changes his life, only to realize how much everyone needs him to just be himself.

Ginger wants a better life away from the farm and certain death. Rocky comes in with his cocky ways and helps them finally make it. This is one of those movies that surprises you with how clever it can be. It's funny and sweet (also a little irreverent). Who knew chickens could be so smart?

I like old movies like this. This one isn't quite as good at Cheaper by the Dozen, but it's still sweet as Lillian Gilbreth leads her family after the death of her husband. She goes into a man's world and keeps her family together under hard circumstances. A feel good movie when you need a pick me up.

This has got to be one of the best retellings of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. Gonzo plays Charles Dickens with Rizzo the Rat as his side-kick. Kermit is Bob Cratchit and of course Miss Piggy is his wife. I have been watching this every year, probably since it first came out. It is so heartwarming. If you haven't watched this yet, do it this year!

I love Audrey Hepburn, and this is one of her best movies. It keeps you guessing the entire time as she tries to escape people bent on hurting her without knowing what her dead husband left behind. Is Cary Grant really helping her, or is he out for himself too? It will keep you guessing all the way to the end. A perfect blend of suspense and humor.

Best friends end up with weddings at the same time and place when an accident with the wedding planner happens. Instead of figuring it out, they go to all sorts of lengths to sabotage each other. The comedy is good, but I kept wondering when the wedding became more important than friendship or the commitment being made. In the end, the movie pulls it off, but it left me kind of sad about society.

I saw this for the first time on an airplane and was a little embarrassed to get all teary in front of other people. I know that movies based on actual events are often overdone, but I still liked this. I liked how people could come together and accomplish something so monumental for so little payback. There are few times that so many people act for the greater good that even if this is overblown, I still like the message.

Josh hates getting picked on, so he wishes to be "big," but he gets more than he bargained for when he turns into a 30 year old. There's something so funny and delightful about this movie. I was disappointed, though, by the whole relationship. It always struck me that no one thought there was anything wrong with a child falling in love, and more. I still love to watch the movie, I just skip past that part. I do like the idea of not rushing who we are too.

I still like this season of Bewitched, but it's obvious that the show is losing steam. A lot of the characters that made Bewitched so fun aren't around as much, but it does have a few episodes that I still really like. Worth getting, but the earlier ones are still my favorites.

All three of the main actors are people I love to watch cast together in one movie! Aidan Quinn is Benny, the older brother taking care of his sister, Joon, who has mental and emotional problems ever since their parents died. He struggles and wishes for his own life, and then one day Joon 'wins' Sam in a poker game. He comes to stay with them, and he's just as oddball, in his own way, as Joon. Sam helps Joon, and they start to fall in love. Benny doesn't think it's good for June, though. I've never seen anything else quite like this movie, but it's heartwarming, realistic and fantastical all at the same time.

My big problem with Jane Austen movies is that we know so little about what actually happened in her life to fill in details like this. I really liked the movie. The acting is first rate, as is the story. Sometimes I just get bothered by how much they assume to make the story. Watch it; enjoy it for the really good movie it is; but don't entirely believe it.

Reviewer: Shannon Woolley (Orem, UT)

This is the movie that got my girls hooked on all the Barbie movies. Barbie is Princess Genevieve, one of the twelve princesses of the kingdom. King Randolph loves them all dearly but worries about their lack of a guiding feminine hand, so he invites his cousin, Rowena, to teach them manners. Rowena has her own plans to take over, though, and the girls must save the day by working together (and with a little bit of magic). Sweet and entertaining; it's our favorite Barbie movie of all time.

Melody tells them how she ended up in the mirror when the evil muse, Lydia, tried to take over the Diamond Castle. Now the girls are on an adventure to see if they can save the Diamond Castle. I like the songs in this one, but sometimes Barbie movies go overboard with the villains. This is one of those. Other than that, the message that friends can accomplish anything together is a good one.

Barbie is both the princess and the pauper here in a case of mistaken identity. While I think the barking cat annoys me, the movie is a great way to show girls that fairy tales, where the boy saves the day, don't need to be. The girls can fix things themselves and figure out how to save others along the way. Of course, like most Barbie movies, it's a little overdone, but I won't complain when the message for girls is so strong.

My daughters have made me buy just about every Barbie movie made, and I've seen almost all of them at one time or another. While this isn't my absolute favorite, it is one of the better ones. Ro is shipwrecked as a young child and learns to talk and sing with the animals on the island. Years later she's rescued by a handsome prince and taken to the mainland. The prince falls in love with her, but there's the betrothed and her evil mother to contend with. Suffice it to say, things work out in the end, but what I did like is that Ro is strong and true to herself.

Reviewer: Christine Williams (American Fork, UT)

Baptists at our Barbecue is a sweet, but very silly, comedy about Mormons and Baptists in a small town. They're evenly split population-wise and split on everything else. Tartan (I can't blame them for the name since it came from a book) comes to town to escape his mother and become the new ranger. He also just wants to get along. It is a bit ridiculous and stereotypical at times, but it's also fun.

I love the movie. The whole idea of traveling back in time to fix your life is great. Everything about it is funny and fresh, even 20 years later. It's still as original as I remember it as a teen. Just realizing that at one time your parents might have been someone other than what you see now is worth it.
I had forgotten that the language and a few of the suggestive looks from his teenage "mom" were things I wouldn't want my very young kids to watch (hence the four stars instead of five).

Some of the Mars scenes were filmed at Lake Powell in Utah which is close to my heart. But overall, the movie had good acting and good humor. Best suited for older kiddies and adults.

This doesn't affect their enjoyment of the film, but they do think I am weird when I laugh at parts they don't. I do wish that the quality didn't get watered down with each film and considering this trend, let's hope they don't bother with a Madagascar 4.

I would recommend this movie to anyone looking for an entertaining film for the whole family.

    Soul Surfer Review, 10.15.2012
|
|
Reviewer: April (West Baden Springs, Indiana)
|
Soul Surfer is an inspirational film for the entire family about overcoming obstacles and turning tragedy into triumph. It features an all-star cast including Helen Hunt, Denis Quaid, Craig T Nelson, Kevin Sorbo and AnnaSophia Robb. It's encouraging to see such big Hollywood names doing such an inspirational family movie.
This movie is based on a true story, and shows how Bethany learned some valuable lessons in life through her tragedy. She now uses her courage, confidence, and kindness to inspire people around the world who have disabilities, and may have given up or lost their faith.
My whole family loved it. If this movie does not inspire you, I don't know what will.

    Review from a guy, 10.15.2012
|
|
Reviewer: A guy who reviews chick flicks (Removed, VA)
|
I saw this movie ages ago with my mom and sister, when I was a teenager. It was my introduction into classic, romantic period pieces (a.k.a. Chick Flicks). It is about a woman who attempts to play matchmaker with little success (drama ensues). I actually enjoyed the movie, even though I maybe had a little crush on Gwyneth Paltrow at the time. After watching this, I was able to move on to other classic period pieces and enjoy them as a guy (although I recommend subtitles). This movie has aged very well over the last 16 years, as it was well crafted and based on a timeless story. Even though the characters speak in the same dialogue as classic English literature, the director was able to give the characters life, and all characters are surprisingly very human (instead of cardboard caricatures of people from that period).

    Don't let the title fool you, 10.15.2012
|
|
Reviewer: A guy who reviews chick flicks (Removed, VA)
|
While on a visit to my family, I was bullied into watching this in theaters, even though I did not want to. The title makes it sound like a chore to watch. Do not let that fool you, this movie is excellent, so excellent in fact, that I ended up buying it. The story is very touching and mature, and it is a great message for slightly older kids. Oh, and the 3d was possibly better than Avatar (yes, I said it).

Pride and Prejudice
|
    Quite possibly a perfect movie, 10.15.2012
|
|
Reviewer: A guy who reviews chick flicks (Removed, VA)
|
There are very few movies ever created that I would consider "perfect." This version of Pride and Prejudice is one of them. Somehow, the director was able to weave an enormous amount of dialogue and storytelling into a two hour movie. If you've ever watched the 5 hour BBC version, this movie was able to encapsulate almost the entire story in less than half the time. This is the perfect Jane Austen movie, with high production values and great acting. Most who compare this to the BBC version claim that Colin Firth was the perfect Mr. Darcy. Yes, you are absolutely right, but the other pluses of this movie more than make up for that. I actually prefer this to the BBC version (gasp). The ending is not completely faithful to the original story, but it does not take away from the story.

    Really like this movie, perfect PIXAR special effects, 10.15.2012

Reviewer: A guy who reviews chick flicks (Removed, VA)
|
Don't let the negative hype fool you, this is still a good movie. It is based on a very old novel about a civil war soldier who is accidentally transported to Mars to become involved in a war. There is action, romance, adventure, and the special effects were perfect (pixar). The story lags in a few parts, but overall, the ending is so satisfying, that most people walk away from the movie feeling pretty good about it. I recommend it to others, as long as the expectations are not too high. Oh, and the music is fantastic, and the movie is more enjoyable on the second watch.

Jane Eyre

    High production values similar to the new Pride and Prejudice, 10.15.2012
|
|
Reviewer: A guy who reviews chick flicks (Removed, VA)
|
This is a great movie, with higher production values than most period pieces. Unlike most "chick flick" period pieces, the director keeps this interesting by weaving a pseudo mystery element to it. The acting is superb, and Michael Fassbender was perfect as the tormented Mr. Rochester. The ending was good, but I wish it would have mirrored the end of the book more, to give it a slightly happier ending.

As I watched the series, I remembered why I loved it so much. This show does a great job blending kid-like antics with real-life troubles. Within the first three shows, topics such as death of an acquaintance, class differences, job loss and job fulfilment are all covered. The producers make the problem real enough to drive home a point, but not overwhelmingly so. It would be a great show for preteens to watch with their parents or older kids to watch on their own.

Reviewer: Jen Rodrigues (LUDLOW, MA)

I loved this movie so much it was amazing. It's one of my favorite movies and Sandra Bullock deserved an Oscar for her performance in this movie. She played a mother and even thought Michael was not her blood she treated him as if it was her own son. She helped him graduate high school and go to college and become a professional Football player. Great story.

This movie shows the struggles between a mom, a stepmom and two children as they learn to navigate the realities of sharing children. Julia Roberts is the young stepmom trying to win the children over and Susan Sarandon puts in an excellent performance as the mom protecting her rights. In the end the friendship of the two is heartwarming.

As a young adult I loved this movie. The music is wonderful. The love that transcends time is a theme explored in a different way here. Christopher Reeves and Jane Seymour are excellent, the scenery beautiful. It DOES have a premarital sex event that is not shown, but known. SO as a mom - would not let my kids see it too young.

This movie had some really cute aspects, machine coming alive - endearing those who work to save it. I had not seen it in years, got it out so show my younger children and took it out due to the language. If your kids are old enough to learn to ignore and not repeat the bad language or if you can filter them out with ClearPlay it's a great movie

Reviewer: Sylvia Carroll (Suches, GA)

This movie shows the incredible journey of a poor black lab tech working for a rich white doctor as they discover medical advances that will ultimately save hundreds of lives. This movies shows the 'pre-civil rights era' of inequality due to skin color with the humble attitude of Vivien Thomas and without the anger so often portrayed in those situations. Seeing success in their life saving techniques and seeing the black man finally recognized for his contribution to this advancement - great moments.

Reviewer: Taryn (allentown, pa)

My daughter loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, so I thought it would be a great movie to have in the house for whenever she's in the mood. She laughed and clapped throughout the movie. I honestly was bored, I've seen 2 out of four episodes quite a bit. However, I didn't pick the movie for me, I chose it for her. Overall, I'd say she was very happy. It's not an easy thing to keep a child entertained through a whole movie. For an eight month old, my child is very attentive. All she did was watch the dvd for the whole hour and a half.

    One of My All Time Favorite Family Movies, 9.3.2012

Reviewer: Kathryn (Spartanburg, SC - South Carolina)

This movie is about a father, George, dealing with the fact that his little girl, Annie, has grown up while she was away at college. She comes home and tells Mom, Nina, and Dad that she has met the one and she is getting married. Dad has a terrible time dealing with that news but figures out that there is nothing that he can do about it. An over the top wedding planner is hired and the wedding is on. George sees his bank account dwindling. Annie is finally married and George comes to terms with the marriage. Part II focuses on George learning from Annie that he is going to become a grandfather. No sooner than he learns that he is going to be a grandfather, Nina tells him he is going to be a father again. Wow! Lots of laughs and tears in this movie that was a remake of the 1950's movie Father of the Bride starring Elizabeth Taylor and Spencer Tracy.

Spirited Away

    Spirited Away, 8.27.2012
|
|
Reviewer: Kelly Stilwell (Bradenton, FL)
|
Spirited Away is one of the most beautifully animated films of all time, and is also a family friendly movie.
In my daughter's words, "It is imaginative, inspiring, and fun for the whole family. It follows a ten-year-old girl named Chihiro as she embarks on a fantastic journey to the land of the spirits, a haven for the characters of Japanese folklore. Along the way, she makes life-lasting friendships in the most unlikely places, and learns about virtues, love, growing up, and finding the good in everyone."
Though my kids loved it, there were parts I didn't understand. My daughter tells me it is because I don't know anything about Japanese mythology. She would be right about that! Because of this, she suggests watching My Friend Totoro first.
Though it is not one of my favorites, my kids adore it. Anytime teenagers are excited about family time, I'll take it!!

I'm a purist and believe they shouldn't mess with mythology and mix things up. This movie gave mixed messages on who Percy Jackson really is. I haven't read the books, so I don't know if that issue was handled differently.
I believe this movie is too scary for young children and is really geared more towards teens.

Reviewer: Kim Croisant (Justin, TX)

I loved the ended!!! It was a sweet movie. I had to watch it again just to make sure, b/c at the beginning their was some fighting among the dinosaurs. Brody liked it much better the second time around and his favorite was all the little dinosaurs. He even told me that the "long neck" dinosaur was NOT T-Rex....and when he saw T-Rex, he said "that's T-Rex". Brody is not yet 3.

Reviewer: Daisy (, UT)

We give this movie 5 out of 5 stars! It was cute that throughout the movie, my toddler frequently said, "Look! Look! Race Car!" We all enjoyed it, but it is by far, my son's favorite movie. We love seeing him so happy and that he excitedly tries to communicate with us to tell us how cool this movie is!

I watched this movie over and over again as a kid. I drove my parents crazy. I knew every word by heart, I probably still do. The VHS went bad years ago so I bought the DVD. The movie is still funny today, but it may be slightly too dark for younger kids.

Gnomeo and Juliet is a funny, family friendly spin on the classic Shakespeare novel. The movie kept us laughing throughout the story, and it was interesting to see life from a gnome's point of view. I recommend this to anyone looking for a laugh!

Reviewer: Luke Trout (Cottonwood, AZ)

This movie is a cult classic, which means you either love it or hate it, there's no in-between. Give it a chance for reasons such as the Orange-soda loving island dwellers, and Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks with their famous on-screen chemistry. You might not like it, but then again, you might have just found a new go-to movie!!

I watched this as a teenager, and thought it was so funny, but recently watched it again and was SOOO disappointed. This is NOT a kids movie, Michael Keaton is so vulgar in this movie. The only funny part is the "Banana Boat song" scene. It's fine for adults, but not for kids.

Reviewer: Kim Trout (Cottonwood, AZ)

This is one of my favorite Disney cartoon movies, even though the production value is not up there with Aladdin or Beauty and the Beast. Goofy is always fun to watch! Goofy and his son Max's relationship is very strained, and as my daughter gets to the teen years, I can understand this! I love how they gradually start to enjoy each other's company...very cute movie.

This is one of those physical slapstick comedies that my kids (and my husband) find super hilarious! It's an oldie, but it's got the sweet Christmas feel, not to mention the lesson of a family learning not to take each other for granted. It's always fun to watch this movie at the holidays.

    Mary Poppins: Practically Perfect in Every Way!, 8.13.2012
|
|
Reviewer: Leila (Chandler, AZ)
|
Mary Poppins is a rated G musical starring Julie Andrews, Dick Van Dyke, Glynis Johns, Karen Dotrice, Matthew Garber, and Ed Wynn.
(Did you know that the actor who voiced the Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland is also in Mary Poppins?)
We love the music and the dancing!
I am a huge fan of Dick Van Dyke and who doesn’t love Julie Andrews!?
One of my favorite parts is when Mary Poppins, Michael and Jane jump into one of Bert’s paintings. The movie becomes real life and animation and it truly is amazing and entertaining!
Another favorite – and my kids agree – is the laughing scene!
Mary Poppins is a great family movie with songs that I promise you will be singing and humming for days after!

I watched them all in 1 week. I love the show! If you haven't seen it, Gimore girls is a great family show.

From first boyfriends, starting a new school, to fighting with your best friend, there is a scenario everyone has had to deal with

Moneyball

    Great family movie!!, 8.11.2012
|
|
Reviewer: Emily@Dirt and Pearls (Russellville, KY)
|
Brad Pitt does an excellent job, as always. The main character, Beane has no money to buy the right kind of players that he needs to have a winning team. Beane hires Peter Brand as a scout and he finds a way to come up with a team within their budget. They take a different approach than other teams behind the scenes and it changes baseball forever. This movie is about making the most out of what you have and that’s what Beane does. It’s a very feel good movie to watch!

I think this movie got a bad rap. My husband and I loved this movie. I don't think I would allow my daughter to see it (6 years old) for another couple of years, but wonderful story line, great action, cute love story, and lots of eye candy (CGI). This is a definite recommend for action and adventure loving pre-teen, teens and parents.

A definite great buy for a Barbie loving little girl and a good movie for one who hasn't seen any Barbie movies to get her hooked!

My son was thrilled when we received Disney's Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Mickey's Storybook Surprises. He squealed with delight when he caught a glimpse of Mickey. We cuddled up to watch all 96 minutes of this DVD. Daddy even joined us half way through.
Mickey's Storybook Surprises offers 4 episodes Minnie's Mysteries, Donald The Frog Prince, Minnie Red riding Hood and Sleeping Minnie. All 4 episodes are cute. My son loves that he can get involved with the cartoons and learn about problem solving. I love that there is no questionable content and that this is a fun and cute form of entertainment for my little one.

A man gets the chance to see what his life would have been like if he had not made the choices he did. It has a religious viewpoint, but not in a heavy handed way.

I only gave it 4 stars, because I felt it dragged just a bit in the middle, but over-all, this is a great and inspiring movie.

This is an excelent kids movie. Some may be turned off by how negative and depressing this movie is. This was one of my favorite movies as a child. Sure, maybe I was a little aloof to what was really happening, but I found nothing depressing about the film. Yes, it's sad and yes the happy ending isn't a disney-type happy, but I'm sure that doesn't really matter to most kids.

    Good Until You Think About It..., 8.2.2012

|
Reviewer: Megan (Columbus, OH)
|
When I saw the movie in the theater, I loved it - the acting was great and the story really engages you. It wasn't until I got home and thought about how the movie portrayed Michael Oher as not a very bright guy who had to be saved by Sandra Bullock's character that I started to feel a little icky. I feel like the filmmakers could have gotten their point across while portraying him a little more realistically - and honestly, less stereotypically. If you can get past that, it is still a very well-made movie - but that's a big "if".

I choose this movie as a Premiere Blogger for Mommy Bear Media to review. I knew my girly wanted it and I have enjoyed all the other Barbie movies we have seen. I love the theme of friendship and working together to reach your goals that flows through each Barbie movie. This one had the same theme and message. It was also cute and while it did have some scary parts the scary parts didn't seem to affect my very sensitive girly. Cute movie with a good message, you can't beat it.

I love My Fair Lady. I always have. What a fun story. I just love Audrey Hepburn in this movie. The way she portrays the feisty Eliza Doolittle just makes me laugh and smile every time. I had forgotten how wonderful the music is. It has been stuck in my head for days and I’m not bothered a bit.
As far as the Blu-ray goes it is wonderful. While there are a few small hazy parts in some of the sides of the film, It is 100% better than my VHS has been. I know…it had better be. But that is all I can compare it to.
This is one of those classics you can watch again and again and again!

The Cosby Show - Season 1
|
    LOVE This Show!, 7.27.2012
|
|
Reviewer: Brandy Nelson (Cuyahoga Falls, OH)
|
Bill Cosby is such an iconic talent, and I love watching the antics of the lovable Huxtable family. My 2 year old also loves this show, and dances to the theme music along with her favorite cast of characters.
The thing I love the most about The Cosby Show is that it breaks common stereotypes surrounding African-American families. Rather than portraying them in a negative light, the Huxtables are a loving, successful, professional family who have the same struggles as the everyday family raising a house full of kids. I love the humor in the show, and the realistic situations depicted.

    Very funny classic film, 7.27.2012

Reviewer: Vere Maffet (FORDS, NJ)

This made Andy Griffith a star. First on Broadway, then NBC showed it live on television, then this wonderful movie. Naive country boy gets drafted into the Air Force with hilarious consequences. My dad grew up on a dirt farm in West Virginia joining the Navy in 1946 and thought this film was a riot. Great cast really makes it work.

    Not as innocent, from a Christian perspective, 7.26.2012
|
|
Reviewer: Shannon (Lagrange, GA)
|
I was surprised at the amount of witchcraft in this movie. I didn't notice it in the previews nor in the reviews that I read online. The cleavage mentioned in this review was also a bit overwhelming, especially when one of the toddlers dove into her breasts. It didn't show this directly, but it was quite obvious what was happening. I felt this was too much for children, and myself. It was definitely aimed at the older audience. It was an ok movie, if you don't mind the sexual content, and the witchcraft...which I do. I would have preferred more of a warning from Christian sites. That is my biggest complaint.

    A surprisingly good movie, 7.25.2012
|
|
Reviewer: Tara (Mapleton, Utah)
|
My husband and I like to indulge in Christian films now and then because we know they will probably be clean. My initial reaction to this film was that they were dealing with some pretty heavy situations - like suicide and teen drinking. That is my only reason for the 4 stars. But we were both actually quite surprised by this movie in that we did enjoy it. It was worth watching. The acting was pretty good and the message was great. I'd suggest it!

Our family loves this movie. It is perfect for the whole family. It is only about an hour, which is the perfect length for our Tigger obsessed toddler. There is also enough humor that it makes my husband and I laugh even though we've seen it at least a dozen times now. I love that the filmmakers copied the original, authentic Winnie the Pooh feel. The animation is whimsical and the music is wonderful.

This is my favorite adaptation of Emma. It is even quick moving and humorous enough that my husband will watch it with me, which is nothing short of a miracle considering it is Jane Austen. Gwyneth Paltrow is adorable as Emma and this movie may have the most hilarious Miss Bates ever. I would recommend this even if you are not a Jane Austen fan. A very fun movie.

Reviewer: Michelle P. (Garland, Utah)

While it may not be the most accurate in terms of following the novel, it does a great job at telling a gripping story. I saw this in the theater with a group of friends, some who read the book, some who didn't and I must caution: if you are not familiar with the book, the movie may be difficult to follow at first. The acting is excellent in this adaptation, although I had to stop thinking about how much Mr. Rochester looks like Abraham Lincoln. :) As a Jane Eyre connoisseur I highly recommend this version.

This is a story that will stay with you. As a young girl with an active imagination, I related to Anne in many ways. She is smart, determined, and independent which makes her such a wonderful heroine for girls. The scenery is also so beautiful that it might make you want to move to Prince Edward Island.

This movie has gorgeous animation. Those owls are, well, gorgeous. It's not as "exciting" as some of the more brightly colored, silly kids' movies, but more along the lines of Labryinth or something like that. A little more subdued, so it's probably great for kids that are a little older (and their parents).

    A classic family movie!, 7.8.2012
|
|
Reviewer: Christine Tolhurst (Missoula, Mt)

Although this movie is no where near a new release, I have to say that I love it!
The movie stars Robert Downey Jr as a fast paced, fast talking lawyer. He had some "lost souls" attached to him all his life and could hear them as a child but no longer does as an adult. The film is about the souls' discovery of why they are attached to him along with his character, Thomas' journey to find love and appreciate life again and is heart-warming and great family entertainment.
Acting in this film is wonderful and I love movies like this that make you feel like you are "behind the scenes" of the other characters in the film. I also love when a film has a range of emotions an audience will feel. I felt joy, sadness and laughter all through the movie.

We love the baby giggles, so we rewind and replay that part just to see him giggle. This DVD also has a CD along with it that we listen to in the car. He loves, loves, loves it!

I loved the cast, especially DeNiro as a cross dressing pirate. I laughed out loud at his scenes. The costumes and effects were great. This is definitely not for the younger kids, I'd say 8 and up. There was a lot of death and violence that may not be suitable for little kids and some scenes with the witches might be a little scary. Overall, I think it is a great family film full of imagination and I'd give it 3 out of 5 stars.

We had a pizza and movie night so he was a happy camper with his pepperoni pizza and Shrek movie. He has a limited vocabulary, but he now says "Shek" (without the 'r') and "Donkeeeey" (long 'e'). He wants to tell everyone that he meets about this movie. It so cute. We now need to go back and see the other Shrek movies!

This movie brought back so many memories and I was so excited for my kids to fall in love with Pollyanna (Hayley Mills) just like I had so many years ago.

If I were playing The Glad Game, I would say it was worth watching and fun to all be together as a family.

This movie reminded my father of where he grew up in Austria. You can use it as a soft explanation about the history of earlier World Wars. Julie Andrews sings wonderfully.

Julie Andrews character also takes a long time to fall in love with the father which also teaches children that love takes a long time to develop (you don't see that in movies anymore.)

Beautiful music Disney style.

Highly recommend this family friendly movie!!

My kids (2 & 5 year olds) both loved it, no foul language or inappropriate behavior. Just lots a laughs for both the kids & parents alike!

Don't get me wrong. I love Twilight. I'm a 32-year-old mom and I love Twilight. In fact, Edward is my favorite part. Maybe that's why I don't care as much for this movie - because Edward is not in it as much. I'm not a Jacob fan, but if you love Jacob, you will probably love this movie. Overall well done, but I prefer the first and third movies.

I probably shouldn't have read the books firs but at the same time I am. I thought the books were so much better but then, they almost always are. I love the books though and the story line. I watched this in the theatre when it first came out and I am sure I will watch it again on dvd. I just liked the books so much I'm gonna have to give the movie a second chance when my expectations arent as high. I did not think this movie was bad at all. I just preferred the books.

Megamind (Single-Disc Edition)
|
    Great Family Movie!, 6.23.2012
|
|
Reviewer: Andrea (Atlanta, GA)
|
We were able to see Megamind when it came out to the theater and it was a hit with our family. It's very funny - even for the adults. I liked that it isn't loaded with crude humor as so many animated movies are now. It's an enjoyable story with good animation and a great cast.

Pride and Prejudice (Restored Edition)
|
    Must see for Jane Austen fans!, 6.23.2012
|
|
Reviewer: Andrea (Atlanta, GA)
|
The BBC version of Pride and Prejudice is certainly a movie for any Jane Austen fan to see. It's true to the novel - the story covers more of the novel than other versions, as it is longer, but it was very well done - quite enjoyable. The acting is great, also!

Sense and Sensibility (Special Edition)
|
    A movie I can watch over and over!, 6.23.2012

Reviewer: Andrea (Atlanta, GA)
|
There are so many productions of Jane Austen's novels, I haven't been able to watch them all yet, but this version of Sense and Sensibility would be hard to beat! The acting is wonderful - a great cast - and it doesn't drag out needlessly long as some historical type dramas can. It's one of my go to DVDs when I have the chance to watch a movie by myself.

Tangled
|
    A new favorite princess!, 6.23.2012
|
|
Reviewer: Andrea (Atlanta, GA)
|
I have two girls and the three of us really liked Tangled. I would have to say Rapunzel has replaced Belle as my favorite Disney princess. The movie is funny as well as sweet and charming. The story moves along at a good pace. I wasn't sure how they'd play out the story of Rapunzel since the original fairy tale is a little bit more harsh for Disney standards but they turned it into a enjoyable story with enough action for little brothers to enjoy as well!

Winnie The Pooh
|
    Wonderful family movie!, 6.23.2012
|
|
Reviewer: Andrea (Atlanta, GA)
|
A big fan of the original The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, I was a little bit skeptical of this movie before we saw it at the theater. Based on the quality of the recent Winnie the Pooh movies and tv shows, I set my expectations low. However, I was happily surprised to really enjoy this movie. It is just as good as the original - sweet, funny, endearing, silly, classic Hundred Acre Woods charm - all in one. I really appreciated the theme of true friendship. My kids were 9, 7 and 2 when we saw it and we all truly enjoyed it - even though the older ones probably would have thought it'd be "too preschooler" for their tastes. Our family recommends this movie for any Winnie the Pooh fans and families.

This show was a favorite of mine growing up and I was glad to get the fourth season. As the season's progress, the material becomes a little older, but that is to be expected. I was a little surprised at how much Cory and Topanga kissed for being a family show, but the show is full of good family values. Respect for parents, good work ethic, caring for friends, listening to the advice of elders -- these are all common themes woven throughout the show. Very worthwhile watching!

What an inspirational movie! My 6 and 8 year old girls wanted to see this movie so bad, but I was worried about the shark scene. The movie is so much more of an inspirational story about this brave girl. The shark scene is less than a second and focuses on her bravery and not the fact that she lost her arm. Her faith and wonderful family gives her the strength to accept it and move on with her life as if nothing ever happened. I was happy to have my girls watch this movie, to show them that you can overcome almost anything.

Where the Wild Things Are
|
    Great Animation, long Build up to plot, 5.30.2012
|
|
Reviewer: Christine Tolhurst (Missoula, Mt)
|
We watched "Where the Wild Things are". I had loved the books as a child and was excited to hear they made a movie based on them.
I have to say, I was somewhat disappointed with the film. Now, It hasn't been that long since I read the book, but it was not what I remembered.
The most disappointing part I think was how long the story dragged on and how long it took to get to the plot. I have a hard time following movies that have a long lead into a plot. "Where the Wild Things Are" was unfortunately one of those.
On the plus side, the computer animation of the monsters was wonderful. The special effects were excellent. The cinematography was great.
It could be that I just was disappointed with the long intro to the characters that I didn't care for it, but in any case, this might be a good movie for a younger person. I admit my ability to engage my imagination is a bit rough.
I am always glad when there are more family-friendly movies made, though. They are getting hard to find.
