Aha! Movie Review: Saving Mr. Banks

First let me point out how much I love the movie poster for this film.  The shadows of Mickey and Mary are simply genius…..I adore this!

Secondly, I certainly spent more time with Mickey Mouse this year than any other year in my life.  Therefore, it was a pleasant surprise to receive such a wonderful lesson in Walt Disney history through the excellent story telling abilities of Tom Hanks (Walt Disney) and Emma Thompson (P.L.… Read More »

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire – Catch it this weekend!

My boys and I saw Catching Fire on Monday!  Of course I’ve read all the books and loved them.  I am always worried that the movie won’t do the book justice.  I should NOT have been worried.  This movie was a BLAST and just made me want to read Catching Fire all over again!  I asked the boys (ages 15 and 12) to rate the movie and they both gave it a resounding A!… Read More »

The motion picture will be released in March of 2014 and I always recommend reading a book before seeing the movie.… Read More »

Audra’s Review: The Book Thief – a must see movie!

I am so thankful my friend Nicole took her mother-in-law’s recommendation and chose The Book Thief by Marcus Zusak for our neighborhood book club selection circa 2005.  It instantly became one of my top 10 favorites of all time.  (Which says a lot because I’m quite the bookworm!) I jumped at the chance to see a preview of the movie last night and invited Nicole and all of my neighborhood book aficionados! … Read More »
