PAN! (Movie) #Review

SYNOPSIS
Peter (Levi Miller) is a mischievous 12-year-old boy with an irrepressible rebellious streak, but in the bleak London orphanage where he has lived his whole life those qualities do not exactly fly. Then one incredible night, Peter is whisked away from the orphanage and spirited off to a fantastical world of pirates, warriors and fairies called Neverland. There, he finds amazing adventures and fights life-or-death battles while trying to uncover the secret of his mother, who left him at the orphanage so long ago, and his rightful place in this magical land. Teamed with the warrior Tiger Lily (Rooney Mara) and a new friend named James Hook (Garrett Hedlund), Peter must defeat the ruthless pirate Blackbeard (Hugh Jackman) to save Neverland and discover his true destiny—to become the hero who will forever be known as Peter Pan.

My Review:
I have seen most versions of Peter Pan. I really liked this one. I didn't think that I would, but I did. It's for adults and children alike, it's also rated PG. There was nothing scary about it. I think the reason that it's PG is because of a little name calling and it could be a little scary in the beginning for 3-5 year olds. But other than that, this movie was awesome! Unlike other Peter Pan movies, this one tells about how Peter Pan, became the Peter Pan that we all know and love, and how the lost boys came to be! I watched it recently with my three children ages 3 1/2, 6 1/2 and 8. My oldest is a boy and my other two children are girls, they all liked it. If your looking for a rainy or snowy day movie to watch, PAN is your go to movie! I can't wait to watch it again!

PAN is currently available to own on Blu-ray 3D Combo Pack, Blu-ray Combo Pack or DVD or on Digital HD!

Wonder Forge's "Who Shook Hook?" Game Review and Giveaway! (U.S.) Ends 3/21 (Rafflecopter)

The Today Show did a story last week about the "return of the board game." It's true! Board games are coming back in a big way. I think that it's because of our economy. But either way, it's great news for the old board games such as Monopoly, Uno, Life, Candyland, Clue, Scrabble, and others. But it's especially good news for New Board Games! My children LOVE playing board games! Spring Break starts next week for my son. They get two whole weeks off of school, and we will be playing board games inbetween our scheduled play dates!

They had so much fun playing the Who Shook Hook? game (based on the Jake and the Neverland Pirates show on Disney Jr.) from Wonder Forge, that they now want to play it every day. It's great for my five and a half year old son who is still trying to develop his fine motor skills. He needs to work the muscles in his hands to be able to write better and so that the muscles in his hands will be strong enough to cut things. The Who Shook Hook? game is perfect for children ages four and up. That's what the box says anyway. My three and a half year old daughter played this game with my son and I just fine. It doesn't require any reading, so it was perfect for her to count and play with us.

Who Shook Hook? game requires children to use small tools, tweezers, a sword, shovel, and a fishing pole to try to pick up objects off of the hammock that Captain Hook is sleeping on. It would be nice if the fishing pole was a little stronger and not come apart so easily, but I think that it was because my children both keep messing with it. Other than that, the game pieces and parts are very well made. It only takes a few minutes to set the game up too! Your children can help set the game up with you, or by themselves. As when Captain Hook and the barrels, treasure chests, etc. fall off of the hammock, it can lead to tons of laughter from my children. They think it's the funniest thing to push down on the hammock and send Hook and the game piece flying everywhere.

Check out more games from Wonder Forge on their website. The Who Shook Hook? game and others from Wonder Forge can be purchased on amazon, at Toys R Us, Target, Walmart, and more! Who Shook Hook and other games from Wonder Forge, are currently on sale at your local Target store! I found it for $14.99 yesterday!

Disney's (Tinkerbell) Secret of the Wings! (Comes out Tomorrow, Tuesday, Oct. 23rd!)

My children and I recently reviewed Disney's Secret of the Wings! Both my five year old son and my three year old daughter and I love Tinkerbell and her Fairy friends. We enjoyed the cute story about Tinkerbell meeting her sister. I don't want to give the whole story away. It's really hard not too. They call it the Tinkerbell in the Snow movie. This is one of the cutest Tinkerbell movies that I have seen. I don't mind watching it over and over again, as it's really cute and I notice something new about it everytime we watch it.

Disney's Secret of the Wings comes out on DVD and DVD & Blu-Ray Combo Packs Tomorrow, Tuesday, October 23rd! Sign up with Disney Movie Rewards online to print out a $5.00 off coupon for Secret of the Wings Blu-Ray Combo pack!
