Disney’s Million Dollar Arm (Trailer) #MillionDollarArm

December 26, 2013 by Stefani Tolson 13 Comments

The Million Dollar Arm is inspired by a true story that follows the journey of an aging American sports agent that attempts to save his failing business by traveling to India and recruiting a cricket pitcher to play in the major leagues.

Synopsis:

In a last ditch effort to save his career as a sports agent, JB Bernstein (Jon Hamm) concocts a scheme to find baseball’s next great pitching ace. Hoping to find a young cricket pitcher he can turninto a Major League Baseball star, JB travels to India to produce a realityshow competition called “Million Dollar Arm.” With the help of a cantankerous but eagle-eyed retired baseball scout (Alan Arkin) he discovers Dinesh (played by Madhur Mittal from “Slumdog Millionaire”) and Rinku (played by Suraj Sharma from “Life of Pi”), two 18 year old boys who have no idea about playing baseball, yet have a knack for throwing a fastball. Hoping to sign them to major league contracts and make a quick buck, JB brings the boys home toAmerica to train. While the Americans are definitely out of their element in India — the boys, who have never left their rural villages — are equally challenged when they come to the States. As the boys learn the finer points of baseball — JB, with the help of his charming friend Brenda (Lake Bell) — learns valuable life lessons about teamwork, commitment and what it means to be a family.

The Million Dollar Arm opens in theaters everywhere on May 16, 2014!

Kidoodle.TV – Shows Just For Kids

December 23, 2013 by Stefani Tolson 10 Comments

“I participated in a Blogger Activation on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Kidoodle.TV. I received a promotional item and a free trial as a thank you for participating.”

A couple months ago I decided to give up cable TV. I didn’t give up watching shows, I just gave up the big bill that I dreaded paying each month. We now use Hulu Plus and Netflix when we want to watch a movie or catch up on the latest episode of one of our favorite shows.

With the kids now on holiday break from school they are going to be looking for shows to watch. Good thing we found Kidoodle.TV that has shows just for kids. Kidoodle.TV is accessible from most Internet-connected devices, including iPad, Mac, PC, laptops, tablets, and smartphones, and will be expanding to gaming consoles, smart TVs and other devices. Right now my kids are using the service on our desktop and I am looking forward to seeing the service on the smart TV platforms.

When you create an account, you then can setup different profiles for each of your children (up to 5 profiles). When you setup each profile you put the age range and select different shows that your child likes. When you login and select a profile, you will see a dashboard with some of your child’s favorite shows.

One thing I really like about Kidoodle.TV is that it features content that is appropriate for its audience and is free of advertising within the service. I also like that that there are parental controls. You have access to age category filtering and title selection and de-selection that allows parents to tailor available content to each of their child’s needs.

This service is normally $4.99 a month but right try Kidoodle.TV for FREE and enter by December 31, 2013 to WIN 1 of 10 tablets or 1 of 10 Kidoodle.TV year-long subscriptions! To enter the giveaway, go to Kidoodle.TV to sign up for a free trial. Follow the on-screen directions and submit!

Mary Poppins 50th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray Combo Pack Review

December 19, 2013 by Stefani Tolson 7 Comments

Disclosure: I received a copy of Mary Poppins in exchange for a post about the film. All thoughts and opinions are my own. This post does contain affiliate links.

When I was little I remember watching the movie Mary Poppins and wishing she lived at my house. She seemed so magical and I loved her songs, especially “A Spoonful Of Sugar”, it has always been one of my favorites and sometimes you will catch me singing it, not even watching the movie.

I am sure that many of you have already seen this classic, but now it is available in Blu-ray format with digital restoration. With the combo pack you can go behind-the-scenes as Julie Andrews (Mary Poppins), Dick Van Dyke (Bert), Karen Dotrice (Jane Banks) and composer Richard Sherman reminisce about their time making this movie.

Watch this video clip featuring Julie Andrews, Dick Van Dyke and Richard Sherman as they remember how kindly they were treated on this film and even break into song and dance.

I was excited to add this classic to my Disney movie collection. This would be a great gift for any Mary Poppins fan. I already watched the movie as soon as I received it and will be watching it again with the kids in the next week when they are home from school on break. I want to see if they love watching Mary Poppins just as much as I did when I was young.

Right now Mary Poppins: 50th Anniversary Edition (Blu-ray + DVD + Digital Copy) is on sale on Amazon for only $29.99 (regular $39.99).
