Beyond the Lights Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack

Noni (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) is the music world’s latest superstar, but the pressures of fame have her on the edge…until she meets Kaz (Nate Parker), a handsome young cop with political aspirations who’s been assigned to protect her. Drawn to each other, Noni and Kaz fall fast and hard, despite protest from Noni’s Mother (Oscar® Nominee Minnie Driver*) and Kaz’s father (Danny Glover). However, Kaz’s love might be the missing piece that gives Noni the courage to find her own voice and break free to become the artist she was meant to be.

Annie In Theaters December 19th!!! Enter Our Giveaway To Win An Annie Prize Pack!!!

I remember seeing Annie in the theater when I was a kid and now it is on the big screen again starting December 19th with a few updates. Annie has the same hard knock life but she does not have her signature red hair. Annie is a young, happy foster kid who’s also tough enough to make her way on the streets of New York in 2014. Originally left by her parents as a baby with the promise that they’d be back for her someday, it’s been a hard knock life ever since with her mean foster mom Miss Hannigan. But everything’s about to change when the hard-nosed tycoon and New York mayoral candidate Will Stacks makes a thinly-veiled campaign move and takes her in.

Take a look at the movie trailer and clip below and you can also get the Family Study Guide HERE and resources for Educators and Librarians HERE. Visit the Annie Movie Website To See More.

“Against The Wild” DVD, Great Family Film Review & Giveaway!!!

TOGETHER THEY WILL FIND A WAY.

AGAINST THE WILD BRINGS THE UNFORGETTABLE WILDERNESS ADVENTURE OF TWO SIBLINGS TO AUDIENCES ON DVD AND DIGITAL DOWNLOAD – MARCH 11, 2014

AgainstThe Wild DVD

Families from coast-to-coast will come along on a breathtaking and uplifting wilderness adventure when Anchor Bay Entertainment unleashes Against the Wild on DVD and digital download for the first time. The action-packed feature film tells the dramatic tale of two siblings and their Alaskan Malamute, who must make an emergency landing when their small plane has engine problems. They find themselves in a beautiful but potentially dangerous natural environment that they must overcome together.

Written and directed by Richard Boddington, starring CJ Adams (The Odd Life of Timothy Green, Dan in Real Life), Erin Pitt (Silent Hill: Revelation 3D, Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam and the upcoming American Girl: Isabelle Dances into the Spotlight) and Natasha Henstridge (“She Spies,” The Whole Nine Yards) and co-starring John Tench (Tooth Fairy), the film makes its national retail and digital debut on March 11, 2014.

A gripping adventure for the whole family, Against the Wild (SRP $24.98) begins with siblings Zach (Adams) and Hannah (Pitt) traveling by seaplane with Chinook, their Alaskan Malamute, to visit their father (Ted Whittall of “Beauty & The Beast”) for the weekend. When their plane encounters engine trouble, the pilot is forced to make an emergency landing in the woods in the middle of nowhere. As they travel on foot to seek help, Zach, Hannah and their loyal companion come face-to-face with the challenges of the wilds – from wolves and grizzly bears to forest fires. Using all the wilderness skills they know – and with some help from Chinook, the siblings must work together to overcome each obstacle and conquer the ultimate goal – returning home again.

An exciting, fast-paced adventure with beautiful cinematography and a stirring musical score performed by a live 65-piece orchestra in Prague, Against the Wild will keep the whole family on the edge of their seat from start to finish.

If you are looking for an all around great family film to enjoy for movie night, Against the Wild is my top pick! Adventure that will keep the whole family entertained and excited is what you get when you pop this in your DVD player. My kids love animals and watching a movie with lots of adventures and kids they could relate to kept the glued to the big screen. I know without a doubt this will be a movie they will request to see again and again.

DVD Special Features: Outtakes and the Music of Against the Wild.

Against the Wild has been approved for all ages by the Dove Foundation, which awarded the film with 5/5 Doves, and recommends it as “a terrific film for the entire family!.”

“My Dog The Champion” DVD Review & Giveaway!!!

The Heart of a Champion Never Dies

MY DOG THE CHAMPION BRINGS INSPIRING STORY OF A CITY GIRL AND HER FOUR-LEGGED FRIEND TO FAMILIES NATIONWIDE

My Dog Champion

New Feature Film – Starring Dora Madison Burge, Lance Henriksen
And Cody Linley–– Bounds onto DVD for the First Time from
Anchor Bay Entertainment – February 4, 2014

We are a pet loving family and we especially love our 3 dogs, so my little ones were thrilled to see this DVD arrive. Ironically we had just been watching some videos on dog agility training and talking about how our Westie would love to do some of that. This is a great family movie that deals with all sorts of relationships. It shows how love and faith can go a long way in healing past hurts and how the heart of a champion never dies. If you are looking for a heartwarming, heart-string tugging movie you can enjoy with your whole family; My Dog The Champion should be at the top of your list!

LOS ANGELES, CA – From the city to the country, families from coast-to-coast will experience an uplifting coming-of-age adventure when Anchor Bay Entertainment unleashes My Dog the Champion on DVD. The inspiring story of an unlikely friendship between a born-and-bred teenage city girl and a cattle dog, the new feature film starring Dora Madison Burge (“Dexter,” “Friday Night Lights,” Cowgirls ‘n Angels), Lance Henriksen (Aliens, The Terminator, Aliens vs. Predator) and Cody Linley (“Hannah Montana,” Cheaper by the Dozen) makes its national retail debut on February 4, 2014.

A moving and meaningful story for the whole family, My Dog the Champion (SRP $24.98) begins when Madison (Burge), a spoiled city teen, learns that her mother is being deployed to Afghanistan. She is suddenly forced to uproot to the country and live on her grandfather Billy’s (Henriksen) cattle ranch – in the middle of nowhere. Facing the hardships of farm life and her feelings of loneliness, she befriends Scout, the farm’s old and “useless” cattle dog. The new companions quickly form a special bond. And when the family farm becomes threatened, Madison, with some help from Eli (Linley), a teenage dog trainer, trains Scout to be an agility champion and together they compete with the hope of saving their home. Side by side, the determined duo proves the heart of a champion never dies.

My Dog the Champion, a story of friendship, love, teamwork, and challenges, is a must-have release for families nationwide. The film is executive produced by Arthur E. Benjamin, the founder of the American Dog Rescue, an all-volunteer, non-profit organization that works to rescue and promote the health and well-being of dogs and other animals all across the world. In addition, Scout, the movie’s starring dog, is herself a rescue!
