Despierta America Brings Alvin & The Chipmunks ChipWrecked To Youth Co-Op
Alvin! Simon! Theodore!
Can’t you just picture your kid screaming that at the top of their lungs à la Dave Seville? Don’t look at me like I’m crazy. You know EXACTLY what I’m talking about.
The Chipmunks!
I grew up on those furry little creatures and always got a kick out of the mischief they got into. Now, years later, my son is able to share in mommy’s trip down memory lane with a newer, hipper Chipmunks adventure…Alvin & The Chipmunks Chipwrecked out just in time for Christmas.
Returning to theaters on December 16th The Chipmunks are joined by the Chipettes on vacation aboard a luxury cruise liner. However, their fun comes to a halt when they become shipwrecked on a remote island. As they try to find their way home, Alvin and friends discover that the island is not as deserted as they think!
Sounds like lots of fun for the little ones and with stars like Jason Lee, David Cross, Jenny Slate, Justin Long, Matthew Gray Gubler, Jesse McCartney, Amy Poehler, Anna Ferris and Christina Applegate it’s sure to be a hit with moms & dads too. You can check out the trailer here.
I’m also glad to hear about their recent stop in Miami, Florida where they joined Despierta America‘s very own Karla Martinez y Poncho de Anda. They held an advance screening for more than 60 children from Youth Co-Op, a not-for-profit organization with a mission to promote the social well-being of South Florida youth and families through education, employment and empowerment, and by the looks of this picture it seems as if the Chipmunks impacted the children in a very positive way. The smiles say it all.
Now in honor of the new film hitting theaters on December 16th and Mami 2 Mommy‘s 12+1 Days of Christmas Countdown (12 more days to go!), you now have a chance to enter to win (1) copy of the DVD of the second Alvin & The Chipmunks: The Squeakquel movie.
It’s a great gift or stocking stuffer for your child that can’t wait to share in the Chipmunks adventures or an adult who could sure use a favorite childhood memory to make their Christmas just right. So Enter Below and Good Luck!
Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax Halloween Pumpkin Stencil
I’m sure you can tell that I’m totally ‘ciked about Halloween. As Shaunsito gets older we can do so much more to celebrate which hubby and I love! Thanks to some friends I found a Halloween Pumpkin Stencil from the upcoming movie Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax. Very cool! Here’s hoping that when we carve our pumpkin I don’t lose a finger. I’m not that great at it. Perhaps hubby should take over the honors this year.
Anyhow, enjoy the stencil, have a wonderful Halloween and wish my fingers luck!
Lorax Pumpkin Stencil
The 3D-CGI feature Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax is an adaptation of Dr. Seuss’ classic tale of a forest creature who shares the enduring power of hope. The animated adventure follows the journey of a boy as he searches for the one thing that will enable him to win the affection of the girl of his dreams. To find it he must discover the story of the Lorax, the grumpy yet charming creature who fights to protect his world.
Danny DeVito will lend his vocal talents to the iconic title character of the Lorax, while Ed Helms will voice the enigmatic Once-ler. Also bringing their talents to the film are global superstars Zac Efron as Ted, the idealistic young boy who searches for the Lorax, and Taylor Swift as Audrey, the girl of Ted’s dreams. Rob Riggle will play financial king O’Hare, and beloved actress Betty White will portray Ted’s wise Grammy Norma.
Hits theaters March 12, 2012.
The Help - Review & Giveaway
—-GIVEAWAY CLOSED—-
Winner Chosen #4 - Mirna. Congrats!
I had the opportunity to preview the movie “The Help” a few weeks ago and when I say that this is one of the best movies I have seen in a while I am not exaggerating in the least. I don’t know if I laughed or cried more but I know that there wasn’t one second that I wasn’t feeling something. And now you have the opportunity to check it out because it comes out today, August 10th, 2011!
Based on one of the most talked about books in years and a #1 New York Times best-selling phenomenon, written by Kathryn Stockett, “The Help” stars Emma Stone (“Easy A”) as Skeeter, Academy Award®–nominated Viola Davis (“Doubt”) as Aibileen and Octavia Spencer as Minny—three very different, extraordinary women in Mississippi during the 1960s, who build an unlikely friendship around a secret writing project that breaks societal rules and puts them all at risk.
From their improbable alliance a remarkable sisterhood emerges, instilling all of them with the courage to transcend the lines that define them, and the realization that sometimes those lines are made to be crossed—even if it means bringing everyone in town face-to-face with the changing times. Deeply moving, filled with poignancy, humor and hope, “The Help” is a timeless and universal story about the ability to create change.
[easyreview title=”The Help” cat1title=”Acting” cat1detail=”This amazing cast proved exactly why they were chosen for this movie and their talents were so full of emotion that they truly transported me back to a time that I wish had never existed. Emma Stone was charming, Viola Davis an extremely bold and powerful - yet powerless - character, and Octavia Spencer was just plain hilarious!” cat1rating=”5″ cat2title=”Plot” cat2detail=”This all revolves around a time in Mississippi where not only the help is powerless but so are all the women in general. Battling what the world thinks they should be doing or having to stay in the box that society has put them in, all these characters share that similar characteristic…the need to heard, to have a voice. But at what cost will these women be willing to risk telling their stories? You’ll have to watch the movie for the answer to that!” cat2rating=”5″ cat3title=”Scenery” cat3detail=”Quite honestly I’m not the best person to ask if scenery is authentic to that time period or even Mississippi. But because I had behind-the-scenes info I found out that filming indeed took place in Mississippi AND many locals not only came out as extras but brought family possessions to make some scenes more authentic. Aside from that I thought the scenes were beautiful and captivating, just perfect.” cat3rating=”5″ cat4title=”Movie vs. The Book” cat4detail=”If you are an avid reader like me you may sometimes worry when they try to make a movie out of your book. In all honesty I read the book after the movie but that did not change my opinion in the least. As we all know the story being told in a book is hardly ever completely kept intact when making the movie version. It does not translate the same. Trust me, you want the director to delve in a little deeper or maybe even take you down the road of a character that you had never thought to go down. After not only seeing the movie but also hearing the director speak about this it made it very clear to me that the director, Tate Taylor, put his heart and soul into directing this film (also writing the screenplay) and did a darn good job of it.” cat4rating=”5″ Summary=”Grab your friends, a box of tissues, and sneak in some sweet tea for this sure-to-be Oscar winner!”]
