Disney is releasing Hannah Montana: The Movie on Blu-Ray and DVD, and Pete’s Dragon: High Flying Edition on DVD on August 18th. I’m not a big Hannah Montana fan, but I guess the movie was cool. Basically, in the movie, she can’t be both Hannah Montanna and Miley Cyrus at the same time. Ginger and Maya liked it a lot, but Maya didn’t want to do the review. I guess she didn’t have to because she’s only 5.
I haven’t watched Pete’s Dragon yet so all I know is that there is a dude named Pete and he has a dragon, and I think the dragon’s name is Elliot. It’s a very old movie. It might be good. I think people who like really old movies would like this one. I guess I might like it because I liked Marry Poppins…I don’t know…
Coraline is a 3-d movie about a girl whose parents ignore her and are very boring, then she finds her “other mother” and thinks she is exciting and fun but she’s not, she is actually very creepy and evil. And the other mother kidnaps, or should I say adultnaps, Coraline’s parents and Coraline has to try to defeat the other mother to get her parents back. The only special feature was the commentary by the director, Henry Selick, and composer, Bruno Coulais.
The movie is based on the book called Coraline by Neil Gaiman. I reviewed that here. I liked the movie better except for the part where Wybie saves the day. In the book, Coraline does it all by herself.
A super interesting and cool thing about the movie is how small everything is. Here’s a video that shows how tiny:
And here is my favorite creepy trailer for the movie. It’s Neil Gaiman!
Coraline comes out on DVD and Blu-Ray tomorrow, July 21st.
Bedtime Stories is a really funny and good movie about this guy named Skeeter who has a niece and nephew who at the beginning didn’t really know about him and didn’t really like him, but when he started telling them bedtime stories, they started to like him and the bedtime stories seem like they come to life, but only a little bit about them is different. And my whole family thought it was funny. There’s a funny guinea pig in it named Bugsy, too.
If you’re into funny comedy family movies, you’ll like this movie. It came out on Blu-Ray April 5th and will come out on DVD April 7th (close to my birthday. And Easter). Or, for a little while, you can get the combo pack with a regular DVD and a Blu-Ray DVD AND a digital file copy for your laptop.
My darling niece, Taylor, says you all will love Marley and Me, which is available everywhere now! She saw it in the theater and when I offered her the chance to review it for us she said, “Heck yes my gosh! I totally will!” because the movie is just that lovable.
