It’s been a while since I have done movie of the week, so here it is. This week I am showcasing Julie Andrews. I mentioned her previously in “Movie of the Week: The Sound Of Music” and I have to reiterate what a fantastic actress she is. I find her so elegant and mesmerizing. So today I recommend both an…

Like I said, this is combined with the book selection for this week. Now I know that this movie is still in theaters…but why not spend a family day out of the house as well. I saw this movie recently with my two kids and they both sat enthralled. My only regret is not having read them the story before…

I haven’t suggested a movie in a while so here are two of my all time favorites. Both of these movies combine animation with real people for an adventure that is out of this world. I think that growing up I was one of very few of my friends who would call these favorites. Most people I know say movies…

This week’s movie of the week is a natural progression from the last. However, although I recommend “The Sound of Music” for everyone, I suggest using caution when showing “The Wizard of Oz” to very young children. The witch can be scary and the flying monkeys gave my friend the creeps. Yet, if your children are old enough or that…

I was shocked to find out that my husband has never seen “The Sound of Music“. To me this is one of the all time greatest movies around (for children and parents). I remember so many nights at home watching this and singing along. I mean how can anything with Julie Andrews not be fantastic?! She is one of the…

This week’s movie is a new one that is sure to be a classic in my house. “Enchanted ” is a new release on Netflix.com but in my home it is already a favorite. We have it already and my kids ask to watch it everyday. They love the singing and the cartoons, but they also get a kick out…

This week’s movie of the week is one that I loved as a child. My sister and I still watch it all the time. “The Brave Little Toaster” is a movie about bravery and friendship. When five appliances (a toaster, vacuum cleaner, electric blanket, radio and bedside lamp) find themselves discarded they begin feeling dumped. So they set off to…

This weeks movie is a remake of an oldie. The Parent Trap is one of my all time favorite children’s movies. The remake stars Lindsey Lohan and is almost as good as the original. For those who never saw the Parent Trap, it’s about two strangers who meet and discover that they are really twins separated at birth. Just like…

The Chronicles of Narnia – The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is a beautiful movie based on the book. I loved this book growing up and Disney has done a phenomenal job of bringing it to life. Everything about this is just so well done from the music and characters to the fantasy effects and scenery. It really is…

This is going to be the start of a new series. Once a week I will recommend a great movie for parents and children to watch together. Movie night can be a nice way for everyone to unwind together but choosing a movie can be a big hassle. So I am hoping that this will help. For those, like me,…
