Disney's Tomorrowland Coming To The Big Screen

As long as I can remember, Tomorrowland at Walt Disney World was always a place where families connect.  Whether it be relaxing on the Tomorrowland Transit Authority People Mover



or singing along to the Carousel Of Progress Theme reminding us that there is a "Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow, And Tomorrow Is Just A Dream Away"



Now Disney is bringing TOMORROWLAND to the big screen and lets just note that there are DREAMERS WANTED

"Dreamers need to stick together." Meet Athena. Your invitation is waiting: TakeMeToTomorrowland.com

From Disney comes two-time Oscar® winner Brad Bird’s riveting, mystery adventure "Tomorrowland," starring Academy Award® winner George Clooney.

What If The F Word Showed Up On This Blog

Keeping It Clean

Being a family friendly blog, the mention of The F Word on this post might have you second guessing this blog. What If I told you it's all okay and more about a great Parents' Night Out?

Last week we found ourselves at the screening of The F Word here in Waterloo Ontario. Now if you are a reader from the USA you would know this film as What If.

Meaning of The F Word

For the purposes of this film The F Word is referring to "friend" and the movie is about being the "the friend zone" and wondering What If the circumstances could be different. It stars Daniel Radcliffe as Wallace who wants to be more than friends with his new best friend Chantry played by Zoe Kazan.

Why You Should See The F Word

As you know from earlier posts, romantic comedies are more Diane's genre than mine, but this film had all the elements for me to thoroughly enjoy it.

• They show the best part of The Princess Bride (the best movie ever)
• The dialouge was extremely funny
• Toronto was the back drop for film
• Elvis's famous sandwich, aka Fools Gold is explained and in my opinion Fools Gold is the other F Word that makes this film great

We think this would be a great movie for a A Parents' Night Out or a night out with your Best Friend.

If you see it, let us know in the comments your thoughts on it and any Toronto landmarks you recognized!

Guardians of the Galaxy - Grabbing Our Spot At Galaxy Cinema Waterloo

Wednesday night we had the opportunity to attend the screening of the new Marvel film Guardians of The Galaxy thanks to Walt Disney Studios.  Where would be the best place to see it in Kitchener-Waterloo? Galaxy Cinemas of course!

Makings of the new Marvel Franchise

I am a long time fan of the Marvel Movies! I'm talking XMEN, Spiderman with Toby McGuire,  and even Daredevil (yes I know many didn't see Ben Afleck as the superhero, but I enjoyed the film).  When Marvel upped their game and began Marvel Studios the Marvel Universe became open territory for all of their comics to come to the big screen.  This included the lesser known heroes the Guardians of the Galaxy.

The Time For Action

I have been a long time action film fan, but this is a genre Diane is new to.  Earlier in the year we went to Need For Speed and with that she was able to see why I have a fondness for the "over the top-ness" of action films.  Now that she was being introduced to Marvel it gave her a taste of what happens when action meets superpowers.  I had let her know how Marvel tends to link their films


and that a few past characters will pop up in this film (click here for the spoiler). I also let her know with Marvel movies you need to stay after the credits for a teaser of their next film.

Guardians of the Galaxy Is A GO!

We mean it! Go see this funny, futuristic and full of action film!

Post by Guardians of the Galaxy.

Need more reason to see it? They reference KEVIN BACON in the movie!

 *Warning there is a bit of Foul language, but I believe it wouldn't be anything your tween or teen has not heard before. 
We really enjoyed the movie and we waited for the post credit sceen and...... nothing.
While I was bewildered by this Diane pointed out that I was not the only one, as more than half of the theartre stayed as well.
Of course I had to get to the bottom of this and on this post it is explained that the premieres did not have the post credits sceen but there is one (with the spolier of it).

What More Could There Be?

While we thought it was great to be watching Guardians of the Galaxy @ Galaxy Cinemas our friend Wendy of the Mapsgirl Blog was at the Toronto screening and David Bautista, who plays DRAX in the movie made an appearance!

Post by Marvel Canada.

She even got a selfie with him!

Our review of Million Dollar Arm
This film brought America's pastime to a world wide audience.  It showed that while baseball is very popular in North America, there are several parts of the world that do not know how the game is played.  The film also showed that when cultures collide there can be many misunderstandings but choosing to do your best in any situation will help see you through the difficult times.  We also suggest that you watch the credits of the film to see how this movie based on a true story took shape.  If you are looking for a family friendly film with a great message, you should watch MILLION DOLLAR ARM.
