I laughed and laughed through Spies in Disguise. It was funny and smart, well made and with great music. Although good music may have become the new norm since Despicable Me, Sing and the Trolls movies. With Spies in Disguise, I get the feeling watching this that we’re watching the start of a “Bond” movie […]
Sonic the Hedgehog is out on digital and it’s fantastic. I love it. I could be biased because I played the game when I was younger and have recently played it with my son. Sonic the Hedgehog is funny, it’s got a solid cast and is true to its origin and has cool gadgets. My […]
I’ve put together this list of great movies for kids because if we’re going to stay home we need all the resources we can get to keep the kids entertained. In an attempt to retain my sanity I’ve prefer to let the kids watch a movie and not a tv show – I want to […]
We thought Dolittle was just lovely. And I was a complete sceptic. I’m talking about the Doctor Dolittle movie staring Robert Downey Jnr released in 2020. I wasn’t a sceptic because of the previous two movies starring Eddie Murphy (or maybe there were three). Nor was it because of the horrible reviews I’ve recently read, […]
We’ve been listening to the Frozen 2 audio book for a while now. A very long while… Thanks Big W for that! So after listening to it 4 times three days before we went to watch the actual movie I started panicking about how scary it would be. Little did I know that it would […]
The kids and I just went to see Angry Birds 2. It’s not my favourite movie of the year, it’s no Toy Story 4, but it was good enough to keep the kids busy, especially during a rainy day on the school holidays. I remember watching Angry Birds and being amazed at how the creators […]
Toy Story 4 was better than I could have imagined. It brought the gang back together with some HILARIOUS new toys and it feels like the story finally ended in the right way.
You’ll laugh, you’ll cry (if you’re like me) and you’ll probably love it.
It’s really a great great movie! Maybe even the best of the four.
I think Toy Story 3 is probably my least favourite but I’m not sure that my kids agree. From my perspective, Toy Story 3 introduces a mean mean toy, it also, until recently, meant saying goodbye to Woody and Buzz. It meant growing up and moving on. It epitomised the end of childhood. With the […]
Movies for Younger Kids It’s hard to find suitable movies for younger kids. I’m hoping that this list of recommended movies for young kids makes it a little easier to find thing that you’re happy letting your child watch. Despite my daughter’s unwavering love of Frozen, I actually haven’t included it in this list. I […]
During the last school holidays I took my 3 year old (nearly 4 year old) and 6 year old to watch Mary Poppins Returns. I loved Mary Poppins growing up. I’ve watched it thousands of times. I’ve even made my kids watch it and reviewed it. (Here is the review of the Original Mary Poppins.) […]
