The Impact of Queen of Katwe - Review




If you have children looking to be change makers in the world we think that seeing this film may further inspire them to change the world around them. If you are looking to make a big impact, start with small project, be passionate about it and see where it will take you.  These are just some of the lessons in the Queen of Katwe film. 

Walt Disney Studios Canada is bringing Queen of Katwe to theaters.  We think this story will inspire families and give confidence to those wondering what impact they will have in the world. 

“Queen of Katwe” is the colourful true story of a young girl selling corn on the streets of rural Uganda whose world rapidly changes when she is introduced to the game of chess, and, as a result of the support she receives from her family and community, is instilled with the confidence and determination she needs to pursue her dream of becoming an international chess champion.

This movie will show you are realistic view of the hardships many go through that live in overseas countries.  Before taking your child to this film, be sure that they are ready to see this type of scenario on a large screen. 

See what the actors had to say about their roles in this film.

The Lone Ranger Review

Summer Movie Blockbuster


When Jerry Bruckheimer and Disney get together, that's when the magic happens for me.

Two of my favorite movies are Pirates Of The Caribbean and National Treasure so you can imagine my delight when I first heard that the two companies would be joining forces again to bring The Lone Ranger to the big screen!



Last month I was invited by Walt Disney Motion Pictures Canada to a screening of The Lone Ranger. I was very excited to see how Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer would tackle these iconic roles. There I was greeted with Western Style gift provided by Disney and the Calgary Stampede.
So for that moment I traded the tiara for a (would be) 10 gallon hat. I think a true 10 gallon hat would be way too big for my noggin, but I think this replica cowboy hat did the trick.



As for the movie I was thrilled.  The story was intricate and explosive all at once.  It was action packed and touched your heart as well. There are several comedic moments as well as very intense scenes.   The movie looks very realistic because it was not a back lot shot movie.  They shot on location and if you stay until the end you can see it takes a full screen to list all the stunt people in it. I suggest seeing it on the big screen to get enthralled in the Old West feel of the movie, but I am sure once it comes to DVD I will be seeing it in again in that format as well. I don't want to give away the plot so I'll move on to the audience. This film would be great for the older kids, I'd say older tweens to teens and adults will enjoy it very much. Did you see The Lone Ranger? Did you enjoy it as much as I did? Let me know in the comments below!
