INTO THE WOODS – In Theaters December 25

pic2

We recently attended a screening of Disney’s “Into The Woods”, which will be in theaters soon.  My son and I love the theater, and have seen local productions, so I was nervous about seeing the movie.  (You know when you LOVE a book, and the movie isn’t what you thought it would be?  Or when they remake a classic movie and you are horribly disappointed- same goes with sequels.  “Dirty Dancing, Havana Nights” made me want to egg Hollywood.  Somebody should have put the director in the corner.)

However, I am pleased as punch to say we loved it!  All four of us did- my son and I, who were familiar with the play and songs, and my good friend and her son, who had never even heard of it before.  I figured it would be good to get all views, right?

We all thought it was great- funny, the music was great- and thankfully, the actors could actually sing.  Unlike some Broadway shows made into movies where they cast for star-power and not singing ability (cough, Les Miserables) I was thrilled that all the actors could sing- and well!  Yay!  There is nothing worse for a moviegoer and music lover then to have to sit through tragic singing, LOL. Not only are the stars in the movie bright (Hello?  Meryl Streep?) but they are talented actors AND singers, which this musical requires.

Jingle All The Way 2 Movie Party #JingleInsiders

This past weekend, we had a movie viewing party of the new Jingle All the Way 2, starring Larry the Cable Guy.  We were sent some fun crafts and movie goodies for the kids (OK, and some of the adults) to have a fun time while watching the movie.

The kids had a great time coloring ornaments for the trees

IMAG0604and we made them peppermint hot chocolate in Jingle All the Way 2 mugs.  How cute are the mustache straws?  They loved them- but I think the adults had fun laughing at the kids almost as much.  (Oh, sorry, with the kids?  That’s what I’m supposed to say, yes? Haha.)

pic5The kids also had fun with the activity pages.  They were able to follow a maze, make a list for Santa, and color holiday pictures in their own frames.  They also did quite a few “Mad Libs” style joke sheets- I think those were everyone’s favorites.
