Ready, Set...

SURPRISE!! I've decided to do a Film Friday along with Tune Tuesday. Ok, so it's probably not what you had in mind when I said I had a surprise, but that's all I got.

I have two movies to start with, both of which are amazing for any age. I'll start with the one I saw first.

Ramona and Beezus starring Joey King and Selena Gomez. Also featuring John Corbett, Ginnifer Goodwin, Josh Duhamel, and Sandra Oh. I won't give you a full synopsis because I want you to see the movies for yourself, but I'll give you a general overview. Ramona is a free spirited little kid that gets into a lot of trouble. She's sweet and adorable, but she seems to always get in the way or irritate the people around her. The movie deals with the relationship between the two sisters-Ramona and Beezus, their parents and the financial problems many adults face, and growing up at different ages. I love this movie not only because of the actors, but because it kept my interest the whole time. It caters to kids, teens, and adults very well.

Toy Story 3. I am so happy that this movie was made. The whole trilogy fits together so perfectly, and that doesn't happen often. In short, Andy is headed to college and the toys end up in a day care under the watch of a fluffy pink bear. The toys soon realize the day care is not where they are supposed to be, and plan a break out. The movie doesn't drag, and is quite funny in parts, suspenseful in others, and even has sad moments. It's hard to pick, but one of my very favorite scenes is the one at the end with Andy and the little girl. It is so precious and innocent. I think everyone can relate to this movie because no matter how ready you think you are to grow up, it's still hard to leave the childish things you loved, behind.

These two are so well made and really are family friendly movies. Go check them out. I hope you love them as much I as do!

God bless.
