The Last Song on DVD and Blu-Ray

Available today on Blu-ray™ Hi-Def Combo Pack and DVD from Touchstone Home
Entertainment: The Last Song starring Disney's very own Miley Cyrus, A/K/A Hannah Montana and Greg Kinnear (Oscar®
nominee, Best Actor in a Supporting Role, As Good As It Gets, 1997, Little Miss Sunshine, You've Got Mail). If you're raising a teenage daughter, knows someone who is raising a teenage daughter, or face raising a teenage daughter in your future I would highly recommend this one! It is an emotional roller coaster. As the movie begins, Miley's character Ronnie is a complete and total spoiled brat who back talks her father and is mean to just about every single person she comes across. She's harsh and rude. As events unfold in the movie we learn why she has hardened her heart just as it begins to soften up. It is a great "coming of age" movie, to be very cliche. It will probably make you cry...well, it made ME cry. It is an awesome movie. I have not read the book, so before you ask me how different it was, I cannot say. The screen play was written by best selling novelist and screen writer Nicolas Sparks who also wrote The Notebook!

Bonus Features for The Last Song:
• Set Tour with Bobby Coleman – Audiences will have an all access pass to see how a
film is made through the eyes of the new up-and comer and star of The Last Song,

going on a seashell scavenger hunt.

• Making of the Music Video, “When I Look At You” with Miley Cyrus – Go behind-
the-scenes of the music video, “When I Look At You”. It will feature recording studio

video. Audiences will learn how the film’s motif, southern summer romance, is
incorporated into feel and theme of the music video.

Miley Can't Be Tamed and Should Be Ashamed!!

My 7 year old daughter has been a Disney fan all of her life. It comes to her honest. Before she was even a twinkle in my eye, I collected Disney VHS tapes. There was something about the magic of Disney that always enchanted me. Shelby has grown with Disney, from Mickey Mouse and Winnie The Pooh to The Suite Life, Sonny With A Chance, and Hannah Montana. What I've always enjoyed about Disney is that I could turn it on and not have to worry about monitoring what my children were being exposed to. The messages were positive and I've been known to enjoy watching the shows myself. When we learned that Hannah Montana was going to be a thing of the past, it was disappointing, but truthfully not a surprise to me. Miley can only be a "girl" for so long.

I was, however shocked to see her break out video for her new song, "Can't Be Tamed". I will not post a link to it here because it is completely and totally against anything I EVER want my children to see. It is disgusting and immoral. I cannot believe that her father would let such a travesty ever be produced. She is still under age (17!!).

It is sad to see one of Disney's brightest and most talented young stars go from being Hannah Montana, to a freakishly large bird in a cage (doing things that no young lady should be doing) who "Can't Be Tamed".

As for me and my house...we will NOT support the new Miley. Next time she comes to town, there will for sure be two empty seats that could have otherwise been filled by my daughter and I. But, then again who wants to watch a 17 year old girl pole dance anyhow?!

Today on DVD

The following titles are available on DVD today:

Old Dogs - John Travolta, Robin Williams, and Seth Green...need I say more? Well, okay I will say more. This movie is Laugh Out Loud funny! Dan (Robin Williams) and his best friend and business partner Charlie (John Travolta) are on the verge of the biggest deal in the history of their sports marketing firm when their lives are turned upside down by a surprise visit from Dan’s ex-wife Vicki (Kelly Preston). Vicki has big news for Dan—their ever-so-brief liaison produced twins Zach (Conner Rayburn) and Emily (Ella Bleu Travolta), now seven-years-old and in need of a dad to keep an eye on them for two weeks. With only high-living playboy Charlie for support, Dan’s bumbling attempts at “on the job training” in fatherhood result in a series of disastrously funny exploits that lead him to a new understanding of what really matters in life. You should add this one to your must see list because, my friends it is funny. When Dan and Charlie's medications get mixed up and you see the side effects it causes, I promise you that you will laugh. This is a great movie and fun for all ages. Check this clip out and see if it makes you laugh:

Hannah Montana: Miley Says Goodbye? DVD viewers will see the season finale before it airs on Disney. My daughter was just dying to know if Miley was moving back to Tennessee or staying in California. When she misses her horse "Blue Jeans" she moves him to California only to quickly realize that it was the worst mistake ever. Jackson also ventures out on his own only to realize that he's renting a "fixer upper" from the infamous Rrrrrrrrrrico! This DVD contains six episodes including the one hour Season 3 finale.

Bonus Episode:
• “He Could Be The One” – 1-hour episode with alternate ending

Bonus Features:

• Hannah Highlights – Pop-up trivia/facts on the episode “You Never Give Me My Money”

Martha Speaks - Martha Says It With Flowers - This DVD is based on the popular childrens book series by Susan Meddaugh, “Martha Speaks.” It contains eight episodes of the popular PBS Television Show including:
(1) Raiders of the Lost Art

Today on Disney DVD

Disney hit a home run at our house with this one, Wizards on Deck with Hannah Montana. My kids loved this one. It combined three of our favorite hit Disney programs all in one full-length adventure! Justin (Wizards of Waverly Place) wins a contest and embarks on a teen cruise to Hawaii getting to meet London Tipton. Justin has his work cut out for him as Max is trying to catch the attention of the heiress also. Cody tries to win Hannah Montana tickets for Bailey. Miley loses her charm bracelet and the Hannah wig, will her days as Hannah be lost with it? If you're a fan of any of these three shows, this one will surely be a hit. The laughs are non-stop and the pranks are funnier than ever. Someone turns Justin's ENTIRE body blue! This one is definitely an A+ film from Disney. Wizards on Deck with Hannah Montana is available TODAY for purchase on Disney DVD. Bonus features include: Justin’s Award-Winning Essay – the essay video that got Justin and his siblings on the S.S. TIPTON Teen Cruise! It’s A Suite Life Having Fun With Hannah & The Wizards – Hilarious bloopers and backstage interviews with the stars!

My daughter is 6 going on 17! She ♥s Jonas brothers. It cracks me up as we watch and she asks me who is my favorite. Just because I am in my thirties (we don't need exact numbers do we???) doesn't mean that I can't have a favorite Jonas brother does it? Shelby was glad to see Jonas: Rockin' the House on Disney DVD. This DVD contains five episodes of the smash hit Jonas Brothers show. These three boys are just trying to live a "normal" life but they have the most dedicated fans in the world and sometimes doing normal things like taking out the trash can call for extreme measures! These guys are always up to something and with their guru fashionista friend Stella at their side, they will be doing it in style, no doubt. Bonus features include two never before seen episodes, "Beauty and the Beat" and "Cold Shoulder". Also included in the Bonus Features is "You've Been Jo-Bro'd - A Funny Prank on their friend Chelsea. This DVD is available today from Disney DVD.

Win a Hannah Montana - The Movie DVD!!!

Today is the day that young girls have been waiting for since the debut of the movie, Hannah Montana. It is FINALLY available on Disney DVD today. The movie stars Miley Cirus and the cast from the hit television show in the first full length feature film. Miley goes back to her roots at the demand of her father. She goes back home to Tennessee where she learns that living a double life might be something she wants to leave behind. Could this be the end of Hannah Montana?

This movie is an awesome family movie. Of course, my six year old daughter LOVED it, but my four year old son, myself and my husband did as well. It is a great movie with a lot of heart felt moments, and great messages for children and adults alike. My favorite band, Rascal Flatts has a cameo and sing a couple of songs as well as Taylor Swift. The sound track for this film is awesome including The Climb, The Hoedown Throwdown, and Butterfly.

This movie is available in a Three-Disc Blu-Ray Hi-Def Combo Pack, Two-Disc DVD Set and Single-Disc DVD. There are also a slew of extras including bloopers, deleted scenes, music videos, and a step-by-step "how to" section in learning the Hoedown Throwdown.

I can assure you that if you know any young girl, she will want to watch this movie (if she hasn't already). She will more than likely ask to own it. If she does and you haven't secured your own copy, you're in luck. I am giving away a copy to one of my lucky readers! That's right, folks you can get your very own copy of the Hannah Montana DVD.

DVD Review - Bolt

Now available on Disney DVD & Blue Ray, the action packed thriller Bolt! This was a much anticipated release in our home. Miley Cirus (a/k/a Hannah Montana) is a household name and when Shelby (my six year old) found out that she was "in" the movie she had to watch it. Miley is the voice of Penny, Bolt's "person". Bolt is voiced by one of my favorite Hollywood personalities, John Travolta.

Bolt is the star of the biggest show in Hollywood, but the only trouble is that he is the only one who doesn't know it. He thinks the whole thing is real. He thinks he can super bark, shoot lazer beams from his eye, and is invincible. Unfortunately when he is accidentally shipped to New York, reality sets in. He must find his way home to save his "person", Penny from the evil "green eyed man". Along the way he meets a witty cat named Mittens and his #1 fan, Rhino a hyperactive hamster who teach him that he doesn't need superpowers to be a hero.

This is a great movie for the whole family and it's packed with extras, like the short film of my favorite character, Rhino. There's also deleted scenes, backstage Disney, and music videos. Stop by and pick it up now. For more information on this and other Disney releases, as always you can click over to the Disney website.

Upcoming Disney Releases

I am SO pleased to see that Disney's Camp Rock and Hannah Montanna The Best of Both Worlds 3D concert are coming to DVD! We have both of these recorded on our DVR and Shelby wants to watch them all of the time. She doesn't know how to work the DVR so that means I have to stop what I'm doing and go into her room and play them for her. The release date for the two films is Tuesday, August 19. We were lucky enough to get advanced copies of both films so Shelby is able to pop them in her DVD player, which she knows how to work, at her own leisure (or shall I say, mine!).

Camp Rock was a great movie. I really enjoyed the overall message that this movie relayed to kids that you can follow through with your dreams if you just believe in yourself AND that you should always be yourself no matter what. Newcomer, Demi Lavato plays Mitchie the main character in this film. She has a beautiful voice and catches the ears of pop star sensation Shane played by Joe Jonas. If you haven't heard of the Jonas Brothers then just ask your children, grandchildren, or turn on the Disney channel! I must admit that I am a fan and was pretty excited to watch this movie with my 5 year old daughter. I was not at all disappointed. It was a great family movie and I would highly recommend watching. It hits the shelves August 19th so pick up a copy for yourself or if you are doing your Christmas shopping a bit early (WHAT IN THE HECK IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?!) or need a birthday gift, this would make a perfect selection. You can find out more details over at Disney.com.

Many of you might remember the controversy that brewed when people waited in line for days to buy tickets to see Hannah Montana only to get to the counter and be told that the concert was SOLD OUT. There were many disappointed little girls all across the country because they could not be a part of this phenom! Those brilliant minds over at Disney figured out a way to please everyone. They televised this SOLD OUT Best of Both Worlds Concert. But, they had to go one step further with this and not just televise it, but they showed it in 3-D! We watched this event as it aired on Disney and we had to share the one pair of 3-D glasses we had. It was pretty cool. Half of the concert was Hannah Montana and the other half was Miley Cirus. Stuck right in the middle to entertain us during the transformation were the above mentioned Jonas Brothers. The DVD is cool because it has a sing along feature which my daughter LOVES. She grabbed her microphone and began to transform herself into Hannah Montana as she sang along with her favorite tunes. This was priceless. I'm sure if your kids aren't asking for this video yet that the chances are that they are unaware of it's release date on August 19th but when they find out you'll be heading to the store to pick up a copy. Trust me, you won't be disappointed! In the meantime, you can head on over to the Disney headquarters to find out more information about this and other upcoming Disney releases.

Live on Stage!

As you all know we didn't get Miley Cyrus tickets a/k/a "Hannah Montana" for her concert in Little Rock. It sold out so quickly that we didn't stand a chance. So, we did the next best thing. :)
We're going to go see High School Musical on stage. It's going to be a cool show and it just so happens to fall right after Shelby's 5th birthday, so we're going to give her the tickets as part of her birthday present. It should be great fun for the whole family. Dad's really excited. *wink*
