Delgo - In theatres December 12th

December 10, 2008

Delgo is a fun, animated action/adventure movie coming to theatres December 12th, 2008.

Delgo features the voices of Freddie Prinze Jr, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Anne Bancroft (in her last performance), Val Kilmer, Michael Clarke Duncan, Chris Kattan and more.

The story takes place in the magical land of Jhamora which is divided between two cultures – the Nohrin, winged masters of the skies, and the Lockni, the terrestrial tribe who harness the mystical powers of the land.  When Delgo (Freddie Prinze, Jr.), a reckless Lockni teenager, forms a forbidden friendship with the spunky Nohrin Princess Kyla (Jennifer Love Hewitt), hostilities between the two peoples escalate, setting the stage for an exiled empress (Anne Bancroft) to exact her revenge and reclaim her rule.

Falsely imprisoned, Delgo and his best friend, Filo (Chris Kattan), must put aside their differences to join forces with a sworn enemy, Bogardus (Val Kilmer), and travel to the mysterious land of Perran to rescue Princess Kyla.  Here they encounter fanciful creatures and discover more than just a kidnapped princess, they learn the value of different cultures and the importance of working together.

Delgo is rated PG and has a running time of 90 minutes.

Fly Me to the Moon DVD Review

December 7, 2008

We recently received the new movie, Fly Me to the Moon, the first-ever animated movie created for 3-D!

Fly Me to the Moon is now available on DVD and features the voice talents of Kelly Ripa, Nicollette Sheridan, Christopher Lloyd, Tim Curry, Ed Begley, Jr., and the legendary astronaut Buzz Aldrin.

My daughter was ecstatic when she found out we were getting a copy to review, she calls this movie “Bugs in Space” and knew more about it then I did.

The cool thing about this movie is that it comes in both 3-D and 2-D (regular version) so you are not limited to just watching a 3-D movie.  The only negative thing I can say about this DVD is that it only came with 2 pairs of 3-D glasses,  I think it should come with 4, so the whole family can watch together. We worked it out and took turns watching the movie.

We really enjoyed this movie and the animation is wonderful. I can only imagine what this looked like in the theater.

The basic storyline is about a young housefly Nat, who is looking for adventure and hatches a plan to jet into outer space with his two best friends, I.Q. and Scooter. In their homemade space suits, they take a wild ride aboard Apollo 11 all the way to the moon. As their families watch at home, the three flies become the first insects ever to journey into space… but this is no ordinary thrill ride. After a potentially disastrous mechanical problem, these daredevil flies must save the day.

Fly Me to the Moon would make a great gift this Holiday Season for children both young and old.

Rating: ★★★★☆ Only because of the 3-D glasses, the movie is wonderful!

Gumdrop Cookie Shop Cookies Review

December 3, 2008

Who doesn’t love cookies? Especially unique ones that not only taste yummy, but are fun too!

Recently we got to try some cookies from the Gumdrop Cookie Shop (Love the name!) and among our goodies we sampled the Van Gogh Gumdrops.

Van Gogh Gumdrops are blank sugar cookies that come with markers that are certified food color edible. This is where the real fun comes in! You can actually draw on your cookies and design them any way you wish with this special edible ink that is tasteless.

What a great idea for birthday party favors, a unique gift idea, or personalized cookies for Santa!

Here my daughter made a practice cookie for Santa (he he!)…among her drawings are a Christmas tree, gingerbread house, and a reindeer-All on one cookie!

Also included with our sampler was one of Gumdrop Cookie Shop’s Super Fudge Brownies. OMG. This was delicious. This brownie melts in your mouth and has a fudge consistency. A truly decedent treat.

Each of Gumdrop Cookie Shop cookies are hand-made to order. Cookies can be personalized with any photo, image, or design. Your possibilities are endless with what they can create. These cookies are also great for wedding, showers, birthdays, and even advertising.

Cookies are also beautifully individually wrapped in cellophane and packaged in a glossy white box with raffia ribbon.

You can order your own Gumdrop Cookie Shop cookies by visiting www.GumdropCookieShop.com
