Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Chipmunk Adventure (1987)

I used to watch Alvin and the Chipmunks when I was a little girl. With the release of the new film “Alvin and the Chipmunks,” a whole new generation is being introduced to the furry little singing rodents. My kids were thrilled when I brought home “The Chipmunk Adventure.” Although animated and not live action, like the new film, they enjoyed learning more about Alvin, Simon, and Theodore. Dave is getting ready for a long trip to Europe for business. Alvin really wants to come along, but Dave tells him no. He’s hired Miss Miller, an eccentric elderly lady, to … Continue reading →

Wallace and Gromit: Three Amazing Adventures (2001)

We as a family fell in love with Wallace and Gromit when we saw “The Curse of the Were-rabbit.” Last night we sat down and watched “Three Amazing Adventures.” While we weren’t as enthralled as we were with “Rabbit,” we did enjoy the movie quite a lot.

He lives with his faithful dog Gromit who basically keeps him on track and is the brains behind the operation, although he never speaks. In the first of our three adventures, Wallace discovers that he’s out of cheese. This is a … Continue reading →

Alvin and the Chipmunks (2007)

We met them first as cartoons, but now Alvin, Simon and Theodore become real. Well, as real as singing, talking chipmunks can get. In this 2007 movie “Alvin and the Chipmunks,” we meet Dave Seville, a man who’s in advertising but really wants to be a song writer. After suffering a humiliating defeat, he’s not quite prepared for what happens next, but it happens all the same. Three chipmunks ride home from work in his fruit basket. They came from the forest and were transported to the city in a Christmas tree, found themselves in unfamiliar territory and were lured … Continue reading →

Movies Review – May 6th-May 17th

Combining the last two weeks, here’s what we’ve been up to in Movie Reviews! First off, we took a closer look at the classic movie, “How Green was My Valley.” Roddy McDowall had his first large role in this film about a boy who grew up in a Welsh mining town and experienced both hardship and joy. “The Ultimate Gift” is the story of a spoiled young man who goes on a journey of self-discovery to earn his inheritance, only to find that the lessons he learned were more valuable than any amount of money could have been. “Enchanted” is … Continue reading →

Movies Week in Review – April 7th – 12th

I found some fun movies this week. Would you like to hear about them? First was the new DVD release, “Alvin and the Chipmunks.” These little guys have been around for a long time, but they’ve never had their own full-length movie before. When Alvin, Theodore, and Simon are brought from the forest in a Christmas tree, they find themselves being taken home in a food basket. Dave Seville, wannabe songwriter, is the owner of that basket and the house they proceed to trash. When he discovers they can sing, he writes a song for them which launches them all … Continue reading →

Kids Choice Award Nominees

I guess since I have a preschooler, I should begin paying more attention to this stuff. But frankly, unless the Backyardigans or Wonder Pets show up, I think Will could careless about these awards – for now at least. But, I am sure my time is coming! Nickelodeon announced the nominees for its Oscars yesterday – the 21st annual Kids Choice Awards. Who received the most nominations? Shrek the Third received four nominations – Favorite Animated Movie and three nominations for Voice from an Animated Movie (for Michael Myers, Eddie Murphy, and Cameron Diaz). Miley Cyrus, who seems to be … Continue reading →
