Mr. Peabody and Sherman Movie Review

Disclosure: We were invited a Mr. Peabody and Sherman press screening. As always, my posts are based on my opinions and experiences. The Dancing Hotdogs family had great opportunity to preview Mr. Peabody and Sherman before it officially came out in theaters.  Though it was based on a cartoon segment during the Rocky and Bullwinkle show.  Unfortunately, Rock and Bullwinkle out date D and I so we were going into the show totally fresh and unbiased, which gave us the chance to experience the movie without any preconceived notions.  Before the show, the director of the movie, Rob Minkoff, spoke about his reasons for choosing the matieral for the movie.  The thing that really got us excited was that he was the director for Lion King…yeah the Disney's Lion King.  After we heard that you had to believe that my Mickey Mouse shaped heart was skipping. Mr. Peabody (voiced by Ty Burrell, Emmy Award® Winner -Modern Family), the most accomplished dog in the world, and his mischievous boy … [Read more...]

Image courtesy of Beautiful the Carole King Musical Disclosure: We received press tickets to attend the show.  As always, my posts are based on my opinions and experiences. One of my favorite albums of all time is Carole King’s Tapestry.  I first heard Tapestry when I was 15 years old way past the original 1971 release and it just touched my soul.  Even now I will sometimes start singing to myself Beautiful lyrics; “You've got to get up every morning with a smile on your face and show the world all the love in your heart.”  Truer words have never been spoken but I had no idea the meaning and heartache behind the lyrics. When I heard a Broadway musical based on the early life of Carole King was being produced and I got those fateful press tickets I was ecstatic and terrified at the same time. I LOVE Broadway, however, what if I was disappointed? Fear not, my dear friends.  Beautiful the Carole King Musical is a bright light on Broadway.  The cast, the storytelling, the … [Read more...]
