Our family loves movie night – there’s nothing better than snuggling up and watching a great movie or show (and eating treats, of course!). Over the past few weeks we’ve had the opportunity to check some new ones out, and I wanted to share them with you!
Kate and I enjoyed watching “Harriet the Spy, Blog Wars” together. Kate knows Jennifer Stone from “Wizards of Waverly Place,” so she was excited to see this movie. It’s about two girls (Harriet and Marion) who are competing to be their official class blogger, which I thought was awesome because I only wish there was an official class blogger when I was in school! It’s a cute story with a good lesson, and is entertaining for the whole family. Perfect for family movie night!
A movie with a familiar character, “Marmaduke” is a cute movie about a family who moves into a new neighborhood with their giant dog. Needless to say, the dog gets himself into all sorts of situations, which makes for a pretty funny movie.
I must admit that I did not watch “Glee” during its first season. All I knew about it was that it was about a high school glee club… and that every time it was on, it was all people could talk about on Facebook and Twitter. And now that season one is out on dvd, I can see why. I was hooked at the first episode! The band geek in me could really relate to those kids, and everyone loves a show you can sing along to!
Modern Family is without a doubt my favorite show on television. My husband and I look forward to it every week, and we absolutely crack up at every episode. The show depicts a family that is not, uh, traditional, and it is both hilarious and heartwarming at the same time. If you don’t watch it, you MUST get season one on DVD and then start watching season two on television IMMEDIATELY. If not sooner. You can thank me later.
I’m always on the lookout for great movies and shows – what are your current favorites?
