MY THOUGHTS

Transformers Rescue Bots is a show geared more towards the younger transformers fans like my nephew and daughters ( but my son likes it too ).  The dvd is almost two hours of rescue bots which I know my nephew will love. 

My daughters previewed it first before I let my nephew watch it.  My daughters really liked it better than they do the other Transformers cartoons.  The dvd was not too long to lose their attention.  Actually it was a good length for them both and would be perfect for any young Transformers fans.

The dvd is available Tuesday nationwide where dvds are sold and at online retailers like Amazon.com for $ 13.44.  So be sure to grab a copy tomorrow for your little Autobot fan!

I AM GOING TO GET CAUGHT UP THIS WEEKEND...( I HOPE!)

So you may have noticed that I have been absent here lately or at least I hope you have noticed!  Lately I have been constantly running it seems like.  I am trying to get Holiday shopping done plus everyday chores and errands in between work and everyone's schedules.  Not to mention getting my upcoming Holiday Gift Guide in order.

SO my goal this weekend is to get caught up with everything!  Well, at least make a huge dent in my to do list that is beginning to look like a to do book (LOL).  So expect more posts from me over the next few days to get caught up and then hopefully I will not be absent again til Christmas time where I will be taking a short break for FAMILY TIME!

And of course thank you to my wonderful readers for being patient with me while I get my SuperWoman cape back out !

THE LITTLE MERMAID : DIAMOND EDITION blu-ray and dvd review

* I received the below mentioned product solely for review purposes.  The below mentioned opinions are completely honest and completely my own.




With unforgettable characters, thrilling adventures, soaring Academy Award-winning music (1989: Best Music, Original Score, and Best Music, Original Song, Under The Sea.), The Little Mermaid is one of the most celebrated animated films of all time. Now spectacularly transformed for the first time on Blu-ray with digitally restored picture and brilliant high-definition sound! Venture under the sea where Ariel, a free-spirited mermaid princess, longs to be part of the human world. After bravely striking a bargain with Ursula, a sneaky sea witch, Ariel embarks on the adventure of a lifetime. With Flounder and Sebastian at her side, Ariel will need all of her courage and determination to make things right in both her worlds.


MY THOUGHTS

The Little Mermaid is definitely one of my favorite Disney movies of all time if not my fav!  Unfortunately for my daughters we only had it on VHS tape and recently our VCR bit the dust so we can not watch our beloved VHS.  So when we received the Diamond Edition of The Little Mermaid, it came just in time.  My daughters were thrilled when they saw it since they love it as much as I do!

PHINEAS & FERB: MARVEL MISSION dvd review

* I received the below mentioned product solely for review purposes.  The below mentioned opinions are completely honest and completely my own.


Excelsior! The fate of the Tri-State area – and the world – hangs in the balance as Agent P and Danville's most dynamic duo team up with four of Marvel's greatest Super Heroes in one awesome full-length adventure. 

It's thwarted-business-as-usual for Dr. Doofenshmirtz – until a blast from his "Power-Drain-Inator" ricochets off of Phineas and Ferb's space station, hitting Spider-Man, Iron Man, the Hulk and Thor. Now the kids must restore the Super Heroes' lost powers before a group of dastardly super-villains destroy the planet! Fortunately, Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D. are also on the case, together with O.W.C.A.'s top agent, Perry the Platypus. Aren't Phineas and Ferb a little young to help avert a potential disaster? Yes. Yes they are! Bursting with original songs and six additional episodes, Phineas and Ferb: Mission Marvel is a must-own, action-packed event of heroic proportions.

MY THOUGHTS

I hate to admit it, but I did not follow Leverage when it first came on TNT.  Of course when I finally did start watching the show, I fell in love with it.  I loved the whole setup of the show and the characters of course.  So I was upset to hear that the show was ending after 5 seasons, but was really excited when I got the opportunity to review the 5th and final season on dvd.  I have to say they did not disappoint me from the last season.

I love to see what jobs they will do in each episode and how they will all play out.  I have to say that I was really impressed that the writers gave the fans a great series finale, but they also left it where there might be a possibility for future episodes.  ( So fingers crossed that maybe there could be more episodes and / or a movie ).

This dvd set has over 600 minutes of Leverage greatness so you can make it a weekend like I did with a bowl of popcorn.  Also the special features were fun to watch too.

I definitely recommend all Leverage fans grabbing the 5th season dvd set now!  I am also hoping to get the other seasons on dvd. The dvd set will make an awesome Christmas gift for any Leverage fan or you can grab this season and the others to create a new Leverage fan!

The dvd set is available now where dvds are sold nationwide and at online retailers like Amazon for $ 29.96 which is a great price for a tv season!  So be sure to grab a copy today!
