Live in the Los Angeles area and looking for something fun to do this weekend? How about attending the red carpet premiere of Escape From Planet Earth with your  niños! Escape From Planet Earth is about an admired astronaut named Scorch Supernova (Brendan Fraser) from the planet Baab. Scorch, along with his brother Gary (Rob Corddry) who is head of mission control at BASA are heroes in their planet for the many dangerous missions they take on. When BASA’s chief Lena (Jessica Alba) tellsRead More ...

In December 2011, I was on my trailer app on my iPad and saw the trailer for The Hobbit. I was so excited! I love director Peter Jackson. He directed The Lord of the Rings trilogy. The Lord of the Rings is about a hobbit named Frodo Baggins and his quest to destroy a ring. It’s not just any ring. When you put this ring on, you turn invisible and become obsessed over it. Think about it – Wouldn’t it be fun to turnRead More ...

  “Finding Nemo” is one of our all time favorite Disney movies!  I am not sure if it has to do with our love of the ocean, marine life, or the touching story of a father’s search for his son; this is a movie that we can watch over and over again. Disney-Pixar’s “Finding Nemo” was first released in theater in 2003 and went on to earn the Oscar for Best Animated Feature Film.  It remains the fifth highest grossingRead More ...

These short films are perfect for preschoolers, and native Spanish speakers will enjoy them just as much as beginners. Each video combines real-life footage of children and their parents with animated scenes of Little Pim. While she narrates, theRead More ...

I didn’t watch the original Santa Paws movie, but after watching Santa Paws 2: The Santa Pups, all I can say is, puppies.  Puppies that were so insanely cute that to me, the plot was almost irrelevant.  I watched the movie with my sons and it put us right in that (Disney assisted) Christmas mood.  (Spoiler alert: the puppies save Christmas!) My boys’ favorite part?  They couldn’t stop laughing while watching the dogs bust Mrs. Claus out of jail (theRead More ...

On Sunday I took my daughter to the movies and was surprised to see a huge movie poster for the documentary “Hecho en México” with a picture of musician Carla Morrison on one side and of the band Kinky on the other – two Mexican artists I listen to all the time. I immediately went online to find out what this was all about and found this trailer: Now, I can not wait for November 31st to come around becauseRead More ...

During the holiday season, I enjoy watching holiday movies. This year I kicked off the season by going to the Mann’s Chinese Theater in Hollywood to see an advanced screening of the DreamWork’s film Rise of the Guardians. Rise of the Guardians is filled with countless movie and television stars as the voiceover actors – such as Chris Pine as Jack Frost, Isla Fisher as the Tooth Fairy, Alec Baldwin as North (a.k.a Santa Claus), Jude Law as the BoogieRead More ...
