Coco , Movie Review

Image
Aspiring musician Miguel, confronted with his family's ancestral ban on music, enters the Land of the Dead to find his great-great-grandfather, a legendary singer. from imdb.com I was able to make it family movie day to watch Coco, one of the movies on my must see list. This movie is wonderful , classical and one of the best movies that families can see out there right now. Coco is not only colorful , musical and so family orientated. The landscape that they create within the land of the dead is beautiful , everything has so much details. These details make up a wonderful movie and I love it. You are often wondering if movies are good or not . This one is one that you will not have to worry about.  Which is something that parents worry about , although the ending is slightly dark because of the dramatic nature. So I rather not give the ending away nor most of the movie but believe me this is one of those movies that you dont want to see slip away!!  (these words are my own

Justice League Movie Review:

Image
Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman's selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy. from imbd.com This is one of the most anticipated movies that has been on my list. I have seen my fair share of superhero movies marvel and DC plus shows. I was able to see this with some friends within that I did make the mistake of watching this opening weekend . The movie theater was packed and full of people excited to watch the latest superhero flick. Although I do not want to spoil any of the movie for you I am going spare a few details. If you have not watched the last few movies , I believe although you will enjoy the movie , some of the jokes will be lost on you. As well some of the dialogue might have you a bit lost. So here I am thinking about the fans of the movie. I believe that you will be excited and not let down. I love this movie it is one of the better movies that DC has made and I bel

Daddy's Home 2 Movie Review

Image
"Having finally gotten used to each other's existence, Brad and Dusty must now deal with their intrusive fathers during the holidays." from imdb.com  Having watched Daddy's Home , and loved the first movie I knew I had to watch the 2nd version. As always I took my movie buddy with me so we could watch this movie since we had both watched the first movie together. Now not to ruin the movie for you. But its almost the same storyline but you are now throwing in the grandpa's of the family. And a few other guests that come into play. Although I really dont want to be the bearer of bad news. And I do have to say the movie was really funny. It was the same old story with almost the same jokes. Funny but kinda old , I dont see this movie going any farther than two movies at the same time I am surprised because movies I thought would not make it past the first two do make it to almost four or five movies. But with the Christmas season approaching , this is a great frie

ESV Illuminated Bible , Review and Thoughts

Image
Its the start of the Christmas season , everyone is out and black Friday shopping and hitting every sale that they have. Now if you are looking for that perfect gift for that special person in your life , such as your mother or sister or even girlfriend. Everyone has seen a bible , there are so many different worded texts and such. But so many different designs there are bibles with covers almost every color under the rainbow. There are bibles with verses pointed out for mothers there are bibles with added on things just depends on what you are looking for. I want to say about 2 years or perhaps a year ago bible journaling came about. There was now a market for art journaling bibles , those who wanted to doddle . Now could they could input or stencil this beautiful art to make for their own.Now there are so many different art bibles now on the market but I believe that this bible is set apart from the rest. This bible is beautiful , each book of the bible has a beautiful cover page

Tasha Cobbs Leonard).” Tasha Cobbs Leonard also released her own version of this song on the same day! The album also features Kierra Sheard, Guvna B, Madison Cunningham, and Kim Walker-Smith. Music is one of things that makes my world go around , in any day I feel like im listing to music mostly. In Most words as well music can be a comfort anyway you look at it. When I think about worship music , Hillsong and other bands come to mind. So im most words I am always open to listing to new music and giving it a chance. Each song on this album , is full of praise for our lord. A lot of people might recognize one of Matt's Songs 10,000 Reasons (Bless The Lord). I know That we sing that song almost every other week during our church service. I think once this CD releases we will find out new and old favorites. One Day , is a new

Patterns of Evidence : Exodus , Movie Review

Image
What is the validity of history found in the Bible? Is it fact or fiction? What does the hard evidence really have to say about the foundational story of the Old Testament: the Exodus out of Egypt? An in-depth investigation by documentary filmmaker Tim Mahoney searches for answers to these questions amid startling new finds that may change traditional views of history and the Bible.  -From IMDB.com It has been awhile since  , I have posted anything and I am sorry for that . Being in my last semester of school , I have let some of my responsibilities , slide and there is no reason for that. But today I bring you a wonderful movie , which is a documentary. I can honestly tell you I am not much for documentaries most of the time I actually find them quite boring. Unless its something that is of interest to me. About last year in the spring , we had a special guest speaker at our church he was actually a archaeologist that was seeking to find certain aspects or places from the bible.

Wonder Woman Movie Review!

Image
Before she was Wonder Woman she was Diana, princess of the Amazons, trained warrior. When a pilot crashes and tells of conflict in the outside world, she leaves home to fight a war to end all wars, discovering her full powers and true destiny. from imdb.com rated PG-13 First of all this is the top movie at the box office right now and for good reason. This is a wonderful movie, not just for women but for everyone young and old! Over the opening weekend , pictures flooded in with photos of kids especially young girls in awe of Diana. Seeing this woman on screen strong, powerful but yet had the emotions of a woman. Shows us that we as women and many others are able to show our strengths. There are so many scenes that I can talk about , the young Diana looking at the older amazon's trying to practice with them. The delight over ice cream that she never had tasted. The feeling of love , and the feeling of loss. I loved every single aspect of this movie. There is so much I could

Fate of the Furious , Movie Review and Thoughts

Image
"When a mysterious woman seduces Dom into the world of terrorism and a betrayal of those closest to him, the crew face trials that will test them as never before." -rated PG-13 from imbd.com  This is one of those movies that you will be wanting to see over and over again if you are a fan of the series. As Always I took my official car guy. My movie buddy as a treat to see this movie , he owns all 7 movies . He loves to collect all the cars in his dream "car collection" . We were not disapointed! This movie brought it and a whole lot more. He was cheering and excited for all the characters ! Fast and the Furious gang was recently given the generation award at the MTV movie and TV awards. This was a wonderful and outstanding award given to a series that has fans of all ages! With the chance , to see it twice now. It does not disappoint , Im not going to make this a lengthy review.   Nor im I going to ruin the movie for those who have not seen it yet. But as the s

Snatched Movie Review

Image
When her boyfriend dumps her before their exotic vacation, a young woman persuades her ultra-cautious mother to travel with her to paradise, with unexpected results. -Rated R from imbd.com  When I saw that this movie was coming out I was honestly curious. It looked like fun it looked like one of those movies that would surprise you. So in much fashion during mother's day weekend , I took my mother to see this movie. So on mothers day , we had a wonderful lunch at one of our favorite restaurants and then saw the movie afterwards.  So we buy our tickets and walk inside , well the crowd for this movie was slightly different there was actually mother's and other family watching as well. Well here is the verdict without spoiling too much of the movie. I loved it , so many funny moments and so many touching and laugh out loud moments between a mother and a daughter I loved it . And I can admit though my mother and me tend to have different forms of humor . She seemed to enjoy it

Beauty and The Beast : Movie Review .

Image
I was Just so giddy when they announced this movie , I often feel as if I could relate to belle in some sort of way. Feeling like the odd girl out in my town, I often can know how hard it is sometimes to truly fit in. With this comes a sense of wonder and longing to be outside and travels away from the small town that I call home . Or in belle's case wanting to know and see whats beyond and travel beyond her tiny village. So, yes I am 25 years old , but I truly felt like I was 5 years old again . The original Disney classic came out in 1991 , just about the year I was born. But as a child , I discovered it per usual , seeing it on VHS tape.  I loved the fact that belle loved to read books and she adored libraries . I did actually "meet" her when I went to the magic kingdom one Sumner and she was overjoyed to know that I loved books. Asked me where I got mine and everything let me as well say I felt like I was five again. Let us get back to the movie shall we? An ad

My Thoughts: In this season

Image
I guess I wanted to share my thoughts with all my readers as to the facts , everyone is gearing up for Easter. I can honestly say in my churches , time it is one of those holiday's that everyone comes out , in their Easter best . They may not have been to church all year but Easter is something that you will not miss. To be honest I am not here to criticize anyone, just noting things and my thoughts. I use this time before Easter to express , how in wonder I am with God in this season. He has shown me and taught me a few lessons that I will not forget. How to love , how to forgive , you cannot get everything at once. Patience with myself , learning from others. Time and effort on things , the list goes on and on and I dont think I have enough time to discuss it all. We live in a time where being a christian means you believe in fairy tales and things nor items that do not exist. While this is something , I do pray that those who believe do not loose hope. We are in a revival se

DVD Spotlight : Hacksaw Ridge , and Max Steel

Image
This week I am bringing you again a DVD spotlight , and reviews. As always , I did not receive any compensation for watching these movies. Now lets get down to business. Let me note , I am going to keep these short , as to not spoil as much of the movie . Max Steel- Rated PG-13  This one was challenging for the start , it started off way slow. Boy discovers that he emits some power and then tries out to find out why. He discovers a , small robot like alien called steel . Steel tells him about his father , and how he was sent to help and protect him. Did I mention this is a toy? and a tv series? Somehow I am not sure if its still running or not. But I digress , this movie started out sloww. . . I was almost to the point I was going to take the dvd out and watch something else. But I can honestly say steel , the alien saved it for me. So I would recommend for 6th grade kids and up. Nothing too scary , but superheros are always cool arent they? Hacksaw Ridge : -Rated R  This is a

Easter For Older Kids and Teenagers Ideas

Image
What do you do when , your child no longer a child but a teenager and isn't into all the Easter basket stuff? Or not into the usual candy and eggs stuff? Easter is sometimes hard because you dont know what to get them. You want to make sure that your kids are taken care of while enjoying the holiday. I  dont think you should overthink the perfect gift for Easter.  The next few ideas, I will share with you if you are looking for the perfect gift , or basket for your teens. First I would honestly ditch the basket , with older kids this would be just junk to them . They do not need it , for girls I would go for a purse they may have been eyeing or a pretty bag. Boys I would use a cap brand new , a popcorn bucket to use . Something that can hold items but they can use. As for items , with girls there is so much you can give them. gift cards , ex: visas , itunes , favorite items beauty items,ex: brushes , hair ties , hair items , makeup clothing  spring shoes , ex: flip -flop

50 Shades Darker : Movie Review

Image
I want to make this clear , completely clear , I am christian and I am not perfect. Sometimes you need an escape and then sometimes you just need to forget things. Yes, I know and have heard of all the talks , how horrible this movie is , the perversion that all Christians fall for.  Now to address the "domestic" violence, these are two consenting adults. While some survivors admit that yes this is a form of mental abuse. Which I can agree on with somewhat of a level. I do have to admit , I am a survivor and no my ex was no christian grey. But he upped the control and I allowed it. There is a form of control that I do have to admit I will allow but he went a bit too far. I digress this post is something that I wasn't going to get on my soapbox on . This is a movie review.. .. Lets get on with it. While Christian wrestles with his inner demons, Anastasia must confront the anger and envy of the women who came before her. from:imdb.com rated R I had to fight myself

Lego Batman Movie Review:

Image
Well this Review is For all the Families out there , Wondering about the New Batman Flick . And wondering if it is up to par with the rest of the Lego movies. But do not fear! I am here to give you a complete review from a kid and a "guardian " spotlight. What is Lego batman about? Bruce Wayne must not only deal with the criminals of Gotham City, but also the responsibility of raising a boy he adopted.from imdb.com rated PG This comes from the creators of the Lego movie and I can truly say this movie is for the kids and the kids at heart. IT is chalk full of corny jokes some adult and some that are a bit over done. I cannot say that the adults will have a wonderful time , but I know that the kids do, and I can truly say it is something that you can take the whole family too without much worry if there is going to be something you dont want them to see. Which is fairly simple at the same time , be prepared for some cornyness and some laughter it should be a good time for

XXX the return of Xander Cage , Movie Review and Thoughts

Image
Xander Cage is left for dead after an incident, though he secretly returns to action for a new, tough assignment with his handler Augustus Gibbons. rated : PG-13 from imdb.com So to be honest I am not much of a fan of these movies but at the same time I do love a good action flick. I took my usual movie buddy with me to watch this , and I have to say I was not disappointed. The action was wonderful but to be honest the movie fell kinda flat for me. I really liked certain actors and there was some funny one liners but honestly wasnt my usual choice but none the less made for a wonderful action flick to watch on a good weekend.  I dont want to give too much anyway to those fans who love this series. But I think that those who are true fans will be pleasantly surprised. a Short but worthy review  I was not paid for my words this movie review is on my own accord. Thank you

Happy 365 Planner Review and Thoughts

Image
Just recently , I have gotten into the planner craze  I am not sure if any one knew that there was one exactly . But I wanted to discuss my favorite brand of planner , there are soo many out there and so many choices that can go so many ways . But my brand is Called Happy Planner 365 , from the craft company Mambi. I have now since wanting to write this post have two planners in my possession. I own and bought a fitness kit since I am trying so hard to lose weight it is classic planner size. And recently a trip to another Store , I added a small mini planner , same brand but normal features. I love both , And have bought a lot! One of my huge goals for the semester and this year is to keep track of all the items and things I need to do! I have a lot of supplies now , and going strong , in keeping track of most of the things that I have to do. I love these planners and the flexibility that they have when it comes to planning and saving memories. I love my fitn

The Garden CD and Giveaway Kari Jobe

Image
Well Blogging world it has been forever , but now I am back with another wonderful review and giveaway! So please share with all Your friends and Family that You know.  Kari Jobe is one of the top female worship performers in christian music . From her last album called Majestic , and her top hits coming from the album which include Forever , and I am not alone . She uses music as a form of self reflection and inspiration from life's hardships and joys. From music for church , and music for personal refection you will find a song that you love.  I personally have been listing to my personal copy that was given to me by the company , and on spotify while I am at work. This is a beautiful CD with wonderful worship songs and others that speak on a more personal level. I believe my favorite since I have heard it so much is Here as in Heaven , which is duo with Cody Carnes. That song is played during Sunday services, and during the week during other church services.

Underworld Blood Wars: Movie Review and Thoughts

Image
Vampire death dealer, Selene (Kate Beckinsale) fights to end the eternal war between the Lycan clan and the Vampire faction that betrayed her.From imdb.com rated R For Fans of the Underworld series comes another chapter in the Saga of Selene the death dealer who has been betrayed too many times I think I have lost count. Now if you are unfamiliar to the underworld series , I would suggest catching up on the series and movies that have already aired. If you wish to be surprised well that works as well , but you might be slightly lost when it comes down to what is truly going on in the story. Let me as well add to the story , the end of this movie still does not bring closure so there is possibility for more movies.  But yet they may still leave us hanging in the balance of what is really going on. A lot of people mostly critics have already slammed this movie, poor acting , and a slightly shakey storyline. In going off that , if you do not like vampire lore, or slightly interested

My Latest TV obsessions:

Image
I am back post haste from my blogging two week break , though my numbers have suffered . I am back with new reviews and more of my life. So are you ready? Here we go! I wanted to bring you my latest TV obsessions. Now dont get me wrong , I love to watch TV at the same time I like to leave room for other activities. Now Some shows you may have heard of while others you have not. I love action , suspense and a bit of romance. It has to grab my attention in order to truly keep me watching.  Matt Murdock, with his other senses superhumanly enhanced, fights crime as a blind lawyer by day, and vigilante by night.-from imdb.com Daredevil , is on Netflix to those who remember how Ben A's Portrayal left comic book fans angry and the movie left somewhat of a hole in wondering what happened to all the characters. Now played by Charlie Cox , daredevil has a new face and new standards. This show though going into it I was bored over winter break and I thought I would give it a try sin

Hillsong DvD release review and thoughts:

Assassins Creed. Movie Review:

Image
When Callum Lynch explores the memories of his ancestor Aguilar and gains the skills of a Master Assassin, he discovers he is a descendant of the secret Assassins society. rated PG-13 from. imdb.com We work in the dark to serve the light .. we are assassins.. ~assassins creed Now this movie is a bit different than what I usually watch but honestly if you knew me more personally you would know that this is right up my alley. This is one of those movies despite the horrible ratings that other movies that were based on video games in the past have received. This is one of those movies , and what has been learned from in the past. Were based on the game at the same they did not try to base this movie on a character from the game rather base it on the theme and world from the game. Though there is something slightly different from the game in the movie now. The annimus , hopefully I spelled that right is different than the game. The annimus is a device that is used in the game to tap
