Little Women #Movie #MarchFamily #MovieReview

Sisters—and dreams—are unique in their ability to inspire, encourage and change the
world.
For 150 years, Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women has motivated women of all ages to dream together and celebrate family. Coming to theaters for the first time, a modern retelling of LITTLE WOMEN brings a new generation together with their mothers, sisters and friends.
From girls playing in the attic to women living with purpose, the March sisters—Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy—are committed to always supporting each other. Yet, growing up
sometimes means growing apart.
An aspiring writer, Jo leaves for New York determined to publish a novel. In the wake of rejected draft upon draft, her editor challenges Jo to write about something more interesting—her family.
When tragedy brings the sisters back home, sticking together takes on new meaning. As Jo comforts her sick sister, Beth asks for one thing: a story.
Jo knows the perfect one … by heart.
Starring Lea Thompson as Marmee and featuring a talented cast, including Lucas Grabeel and Ian Bohen, LITTLE WOMEN tells the story of the same beloved sisters to a new generation. Celebrating dreams, family and unconditional love, LITTLE WOMEN opens in theaters this fall.

Little Women is now out in theaters.

MY THOUGHTS


I have to admit that I have not read the book so I can't really compare the book and movie but I do know that this movie is a modern retelling so of course there will some differences. 

Anyway, I admit that I very much enjoyed the movie even though this is not the kind of movie I usually watch.  It is well done and it made me happy and sad. It was entertaining and kept me watching.  

Just after watching this movie I have added the book to my long to be read pile and I made the plan to read the book very soon. 

I am giving this a 4 out of 5 .

The Big Bang Theory - The Complete Eleventh Season #Review

Warner Bros. Home Entertainment provided me with a free copy of the Blu-ray I reviewed in this Blog Post. The opinions I share are my own.




Leonard and Sheldon are brilliant physicists – geniuses in the laboratory but socially challenged everywhere else. Insert beautiful, street-smart neighbor Penny, who endeavors to teach them a thing or two about the “real” world. Despite their on-again, off-again relationship history, Leonard and Penny have tied the knot. Even Sheldon has entered into a “Relationship Agreement” with neurobiologist Amy, and he recently took their relationship to the next level by proposing marriage. Will the possibility of domestic bliss alter the chemistry between these two extreme achievers? Will Leonard prove to be a brilliant writer? Will Raj’s search for new love rival his search for new stars in the cosmos? Will Howard and Bernadette’s growing family reach critical mass? Quantum comedy continues to converge in all 24 Season Eleven episodes of this laugh-out-loud megahit.

Own The Big Bang Theory on September 11th 

MY THOUGHTS

You may all already know that I do not usually watch comedy movies or tv shows. I used to but for the longest time there was nothing that would interest me and Big Bang Theory is the only comedy show I have been watching and yes I have been watching it since the very beginning. 

Season 11 of Big Bang Theory is one of my favourites. I like that they have "grown up".  You got to see Amy's family and more of Sheldon's family.  The story is good and it got me excited to see what season 12 has to offer.  

Not sure if you all know but season 12 will be the final season.  Like any show of course it had to come to an end and I am hoping they wrap up the show well.  

I give season 11 of Big Bang Theory 4 out of 5.

Young Sheldon Season One #Review

Warner Bros. Home Entertainment provided me with a free copy of the Blu-ray I reviewed in this Blog Post. The opinions I share are my own.





For the last decade on The Big Bang Theory, audiences have come to know the extraordinary Sheldon Cooper. Now, this single-camera, half-hour comedy gives us the chance to meet him in childhood, as he embarks on his innocent, awkward and hopeful journey toward the man he will become. Created and executive produced by The Big Bang Theory’s Chuck Lorre and Steven Molaro, Young Sheldon is also executive produced and narrated by Jim Parsons who plays Sheldon Cooper on The Big Bang Theory. The star cast features Iain Armitage (Big Little Lies), Zoe Perry (The Family, Private Practice), Lance Barber (The Comeback), Annie Potts (Designing Women), Montana Jordan (The Legacy of a Whitetail Deer Hunter) and Raegan Revord (Modern Family).

For nine-year-old Sheldon Cooper, it isn't easy growing up in East Texas. Being a once-in-a-generation mind capable of advanced mathematics and science isn't always helpful in a land where church and football are king. While the vulnerable, gifted and somewhat naïve Sheldon deals with the world, his very normal family must find a way to deal with him. His father, George, is struggling to find his way as a high school football coach and as father to a boy he doesn't understand. Sheldon's mother, Mary, fiercely protects and nurtures her son in a town where he just doesn't fit in. Sheldon's older brother, Georgie, does the best he can in high school, but it's tough to be cool when you're in the same classes with your odd nine-year-old brother. Sheldon's twin sister, Missy, who sometimes resents all the attention Sheldon gets, but also remains the one person who can reliably tell Sheldon the truth. Finally, there’s Sheldon’s beloved Meemaw, his foul-mouthed, hard-drinking Texas grandmother who’s supportive of her grandson and his unique gifts.

Young Sheldon: The Complete First Season includes 22 half-hour episodes:
  1. Pilot
  2. Rockets, Communists, and the Dewey Decimal System
  3. Poker, Faith, and Eggs
  4. A Therapist, a Comic Book, and A Breakfast Sausage
  5. A Solar Calculator, a Game Ball, and a Cheerleader's Bosom
  6. A Patch, a Modem, and a Zantac
  7. A Brisket, Voodoo, and Cannonball Run
  8. Cape Canaveral, Shrödinger's Cat, and Cyndi Lauper's Hair
  9. Spock, Kirk, and Testicular Hernia
  10. An Eagle Feather, a String Bean, and an Eskimo
  11. Demons, Sunday School and Prime Numbers
  12. A Computer, a Plastic Pony, and a Case of Beer
  13. A Sneeze, Detention, and Sissy Spacek
  14. Potato Salad, a Broomstick, and Dad's Whiskey
  15. Dolomite, Apple Slices, and a Mystery Woman
  16. Killer Asteroids, Oklahoma, and a Frizzy Hair Machine
  17. Jiu-Jitsu, Bubble Wrap, and Yoo-hoo
  18. A Mother, a Child and a Blue Man's Backside
  19. Gluons, Guacamole, and the Color Purple
  20. A Dog, a Squirrel and a Fish Named Fish
  21. Summer Sausage, a Pocket Poncho, and Tony Danza
  22. Vanilla Ice Cream, Gentlemen Callers, and a Dinette Set

Includes All-New Special Features:
  • Young Sheldon: An Origin Story (NEW Featurette)
  • Sibling Revelry (NEW Featurette)
Young Sheldon season one is now available in stores near you. 

MY THOUGHTS

Yes, I have watched Big Bang Theory over the years but when I had heard about Young Sheldon I wasn't really that interested in watching it. When the first episode aired my husband wanted to check it out so we watched it together and we both enjoyed it but unfortunately  after that episode we never got the chance to watch it again because we had another show that we liked that was airing on at the same time so when I received Young Sheldon season one on DVD we were happy to watch it.

We enjoyed season one. It is funny but I didn't find it as funny as Big Bang Theory.  It was entertaining and the lady who plays Sheldon's mother in this sounds so much like the lady who plays his mother on Big Bang Theory. (her acting is spot on). 

If we don't have a show at the same time as Young Sheldon airs I will continue watching season 2 .

I give this 3 1/2 out of 5.

Tag #MovieReview

The product(s) featured in this review were provided free of cost to me by the manufacturer or representing PR agency for the sole purpose of product testing. Opinions expressed are my own and are NOT influenced by monetary compensation. 




For one month every year, five highly competitive friends hit the ground running in a no-holds-barred game of tag they’ve been playing since the first grade—risking their necks, their jobs and their relationships to take each other down with the battle cry: “You’re It!” This year, the game coincides with the wedding of their only undefeated player, which should finally make him an easy target. But he knows they’re coming…and he’s ready. Based on a true story, this outrageous comedy shows how far some guys will go to be the last man standing.


MY THOUGHTS

Yes, I know this isn't the kind of movie I would watch. I don't usually watch comedies these days because I find them stupid but my husband wanted to see this one so I picked this one to review.

I admit I thought this one was going to be one that I was not going to like because it sounds stupid but sure it was a little stupid and childish but it actually had its funny moments.    I didn't find it to be hilarious but there were some parts that got me laughing and I did find the movie entertaining even though.  

I am giving this 3 1/2 out of 5 and my husband is giving this 4 out of 5. 

You can now purchase Tag online or in stores near you.
