Win INSIDE OUT advance screening passes! #InsideOut #Toronto

June 8, 2015 by Wendy S

INSIDE OUT opens in theatres everywhere on June 19th!

Inside Out comes to theatres June 19th!

From an adventurous balloon ride above the clouds to a monster-filled metropolis, Academy Award®-winning director Pete Docter (“Monsters, Inc.,” “Up”) has taken audiences to unique and imaginative places. In Disney•Pixar’s original movie “ Inside Out,” he will take us to the most extraordinary location of all—inside the mind.

Growing up can be a bumpy road, and it’s no exception for Riley, who is uprooted from her Midwest life when her father starts a new job in San Francisco. Like all of us, Riley is guided by her emotions – Joy (Amy Poehler), Fear (Bill Hader), Anger (Lewis Black), Disgust (Mindy Kaling) and Sadness (Phyllis Smith).

The emotions live in Headquarters, the control center inside Riley’s mind, where they help advise her through everyday life. As Riley and her emotions struggle to adjust to a new life in San Francisco, turmoil ensues in Headquarters. Although Joy, Riley’s main and most important emotion, tries to keep things positive, the emotions conflict on how best to navigate a new city, house and school.

Enter to win!

You can see it before everyone else!!

Guardians of the Galaxy is awesome! #GuardiansOfTheGalaxy

July 31, 2014 by Wendy S

Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” finds space adventurer Peter Quill the object of a bounty hunt after stealing an orb coveted by a treacherous villain, but when Quill discovers the power it holds, he must find a way to rally the quartet of ragtag rivals hot on his trail to save the universe.

 

Surprise at the screening

Earlier in the day, I was looking all of the photos and videos being shared on Facebook and Twitter.  Dave Bautista had appeared on several TV and radios shows that morning.  I casually mentioned to Craig, “wouldn’t it be neat if Bautista was at the screening.”

When I arrived at t the theatre, there was a line up of media cameras and media people with microphones.  I confirmed that Dave Bautista was going to be there!

My review:

That. Was. Awesome!!!!!!!! #GuardiansOfTheGalaxy

— Wendy [mapsgirl] (@mapsgirl) July 31, 2014


It was awesome!  It really was!

The graphics were fantastic, the characters were amazing, costumes and make-up were phenomenal and the story was funny/moving/exciting/thrilling/awesome!

Did I mention it was awesome?

Marvel's Guardians Of The Galaxy

Bautista as Drax

It’s so hard to talk about the movie without giving anything away!  There were so many quotable one-liners or things that the characters do that I want to tell you about, but it would ruin the experience for you!

I will say that it’s probably not a good movie for young children.  It’s rated PG-3 due to the violence and language.  But also following the storyline could be difficult for smaller children.  Rachel, who’s almost 10, I think would enjoy this movie and would get most of the jokes.  Lauren, who’s 7, might get lost trying to figure out the characters and the storyline.

As will all movies, I’ll check with Common Sense Media to see what they have to say — read their review here.

 

Press release:

From Marvel, the studio that brought you the global blockbuster franchises of Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and The Avengers, comes a new team—the Guardians of the Galaxy. An action-packed, epic space adventure, Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” expands the Marvel Cinematic Universe into the cosmos, where brash adventurer Peter Quill finds himself the object of an unrelenting bounty hunt after stealing a mysterious orb coveted by Ronan, a powerful villain with ambitions that threaten the entire universe. To evade the ever-persistent Ronan, Quill is forced into an uneasy truce with a quartet of disparate misfits—Rocket, a gun-toting raccoon, Groot, a tree-like humanoid, the deadly and enigmatic Gamora and the revenge-driven Drax the Destroyer. But when Quill discovers the true power of the orb and the menace it poses to the cosmos, he must do his best to rally his ragtag rivals for a last, desperate stand—with the galaxy’s fate in the balance.

Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy,” which first appeared in comic books in Marvel Super-Heroes, Issue #18 (Jan. 1969), stars Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, featuring Vin Diesel as Groot, Bradley Cooper as Rocket, Lee Pace, Michael Rooker, Karen Gillan, Djimon Hounsou, with John C. Reilly, Glenn Close as Nova Prime and Benicio Del Toro as The Collector.

James Gunn is the director of the film with Kevin Feige, p.g.a., producing. Louis D’Esposito, Alan Fine, Victoria Alonso, Jeremy Latcham, Nik Korda and Stan Lee serve as executive producers. Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” is written by James Gunn and Nicole Perlman and releases in theatres on August 1, 2014.

Celebrate Earth Day with Disneynature Bears

April 2, 2014 by Wendy S

Celebrate Earth Day with Disneynature Bears - Advance Screening Giveaway #Toronto

Disneynature Bears – In Theatres April 18th

In an epic story of breathtaking scale, Disneynature’s new True Life Adventure “Bears” showcases a year in the life of two mother bears as they impart life lessons to their impressionable young cubs. Set against a majestic Alaskan backdrop teeming with life, their journey begins as winter comes to an end and the bears emerge from hibernation to face the bitter cold. The world outside is exciting—but risky—as the cubs’ playful descent down the mountain carries with it a looming threat of avalanches. As the season changes from spring to summer, the brown bear families must work together to find food—ultimately feasting at a plentiful salmon run—while staying safe from predators, including an ever-present wolf pack. “Bears” captures the fast-moving action and suspense of life in one of the planet’s last great wildernesses—where mothers definitely know best and their cubs’ survival hinges on family togetherness.

 Directed by Alastair Fothergill (“Earth,” “African Cats” and “Chimpanzee”) and Keith Scholey (“African Cats”), “Bears” is in theatres April 18, 2014, to celebrate Earth Day.
