So when I saw she had another movie coming out, Life of the Party, I HAD to see it..especially when I saw the plot line. Being a mom myself that went back to college after having kids, I knew I would love this new movie of hers too!

And I was right! It had all the right parts - super funny, some serious, some sentimental and just overall the same old hilarious Melissa McCarthy doing what she does best - making people laugh while sending a good message - never give up on your dreams! If you need a mood lifter this week, for sure check out Life of the Party for some good laughs...and a trip down memory lane of your good ole' college days! 😉

When her husband suddenly dumps her, longtime dedicated housewife Deanna (McCarthy) turns regret into reset by going back to college…landing in the same class and school as her daughter, who’s not entirely sold on the idea. Plunging headlong into the campus experience, the increasingly outspoken Deanna—now Dee Rock—embraces freedom, fun and frat boys on her own terms, finding her true self in a senior year no one ever expected.

COUNTRY CRUSH

A CONTEMPORARY NEW MUSICAL STARRING JANA KRAMER

AND MADELINE MERLO COMES TO DVD MARCH 14

EXCLUSIVELY AT WALMART

Country comes to town when the new musical Country Crush is released on DVD on March 14 by Shout! Factory, available exclusively at Walmart.

Starring Jana Kramer, a finalist on last season’s Dancing With The Stars following the release of her latest chart-topping album 31, Madeline Merlo, currently touring in support of her album Free Soul, Munro Chambers, known for Degrassi: The Next Generation, and Sophie Tweed Simmons, as seen on Gene Simmons Family Jewels, this is a classic love story with contemporary themes and hot country music performances.

From director Andrew Cymek, this heartwarming, and sometimes heartbreaking, film tells the story of city-girl Nancy Taylor (Madeline Merlo), an aspiring singer who is struggling to launch her career and navigate a relationship with an opportunistic music producer. While on her way to a party out in the country with her best friend Ainsley (Sophie Tweed Simmons), her car breaks down and a good-hearted and handsome stranger named Charlie Bishop (Munro Chambers) shows up with a tow. Sparks fly between Nancy and Charlie, two young people searching for love, both unsure of the paths they’re on.

Charlie and his sister-in-law Katherine (Jana Kramer) have recently said goodbye to his older brother Cody, who has shipped out to the Middle East for another tour of duty. Katherine is facing all the love, worry and waiting that accompanies the deployment of a spouse while also being there for Charlie as he faces his own disappointments and loneliness. As Charlie decides to pursue a relationship with Nancy, and Nancy struggles with decisions about her career, Charlie sees with new eyes the importance in staying true to oneself, and begins to question his own choices. While their courtship is in turmoil, his brother’s sacrifices serves as a reminder of the price of love when it is lost.

With its themes of love, duty and strong family values, woven together with a dynamic soundtrack, this is a film that will appeal to multiple generations, and tug at the heartstrings of all families. Country Crush is sure to run away with many hearts.

I LOVE a good romance movie and I am also a big fan of Jana Kramer so this movie made me so happy! I also love the strong family theme because family means so much to me - this movie is a must see!

Warner Bros. Home Entertainment provided me with a free copy of the DVD I reviewed in this Blog Post. The opinions I share are my own.

Feeling nostalgic for one of television’s best-loved family comedies? The Tanner clan is back and they’re bringing laughter and good times to all Full House fans with the release of Fuller House: The Complete First Season, available on DVD on February 28, 2017, from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment!

Many people are loving the return of Full House and their squad and I am so excited that Fuller House will soon be available on DVD so I can watch the whole season over and over! :)

Twenty years have passed and the Tanner sisters are all grown-up. They’ve returned to their San Francisco home, where they’re joined by family and friends as they raise the next generation of Tanner kids. Fuller House: The Complete First Season is comprised of all 13 episodes from the show’s first season and will retail for $24.98 SRP. Individual episodes from Fuller House: The Complete First Season are also available to own on Digital HD via purchase from digital retailers.

On Fuller House, eldest daughter D.J. Tanner (Candace Cameron Bure, Full House, A Christmas Detour) is now a veterinarian and recently widowed mother trying to raise three boys on her own. She is joined by her sister Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin, Full House, Walt Before Mickey) and best friend Kimmy Gibbler (Andrea Barber, Full House, The Skateboard Kid 2) and Kimmy’s teenage daughter Ramona (Soni Bringas), who move in to lend their support and help raise D.J.’s kids. The Full House original cast, including Bob Saget (Full House, Entourage), Lori Loughlin (Full House, When Calls the Heart), John Stamos (Full House, Grandfathered, Scream Queens) and Dave Coulier (Full House, Robot Chicken), make guest appearances throughout the series.

The original Full House, which centered on three grown men raising three girls in San Francisco, premiered in 1987 on ABC and became an instant hit with viewers. The family friendly series became a pop culture phenomenon. It was praised by fans for its wholesome comedy, lovable characters and valuable life lessons. It aired for eight successful seasons and later aired in syndication. Fuller House premiered on Netflix in February 2016 and has already been renewed for a second season.

Fuller House earned two Teen Choice Awards in 2016. The series won in the “Choice TV Show: Comedy” category. Candace Cameron Bure earned the “Choice TV Actress: Comedy” award.

CONFIRMATION

Nominated for 2 Emmy Awards® Outstanding Television Movie &

Outstanding Lead Actress – Kerry Washington

DVD with Digital HD & Blu-ray® with Digital HD will street on August 2, 2016

Nominated for two 2016 Emmy Awards® including Outstanding Television Movie and Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Movie (Kerry Washington), the HBO Film will be arriving on Blu-ray and DVD August 2nd.

It only takes one voice to change history. HBO Home Entertainment proudly presents the June 27th Digital HD and August 2nd DVD with Digital HD and Blu-ray with Digital HD release of the critically acclaimed Confirmation. The film details the explosive Clarence Thomas Supreme Court nomination hearings, which brought the country to a standstill and forever changed the way we think about sexual harassment, victims’ rights and modern-day race relations. It looks behind the curtain of Washington politics, depicting a pivotal moment in American culture that became a turning point in workplace equality and gender politics. The HBO Film was nominated for two 2016 Emmy Awards® including Outstanding Television Movie and Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Movie (Kerry Washington).

In July 1991, President George H.W. Bush nominated Judge Clarence Thomas to fill Justice Thurgood Marshall’s seat on the U.S. Supreme Court. In October, during the final days of Thomas’ confirmation hearings before the Senate Judiciary Committee, both Newsday and NPR broke the story that one of Thomas’ former employees, law professor Anita Hill, had accused him of sexually harassing her ten years earlier. These revelations triggered a maelstrom of events, with both Hill and Thomas testifying about the allegations before a stunned and riveted television audience. The release includes brief discussions with Washington and Pierce on the historical impact of the hearings as well as “Character Spot” featuring cast members discussing the character they play.

Confirmation features “powerful” (Variety), “affecting and nuanced performances” (Los Angeles Times) from an all-star cast lead by Washington (Emmy® and Golden Globe nominee for Scandal), Wendell Pierce (HBO’s Treme and The Wire), Greg Kinnear (Oscar® and Golden Globe nominee for As Good as It Gets), Jeffrey Wright (Emmy® and Golden Globe winner for HBO’s Angels in America), Eric Stonestreet (Emmy® winner for Modern Family) and Jennifer Hudson (Oscar® winner for Dreamgirls).

It is very popular to make a weight loss resolution when the New Year rolls around. I know that is my resolution this year...gotta lose that baby weight and no better time to do it than NOW!

I am also a big advocate for at-home workouts! I have worked out at home for almost 10 years, lost baby weight two times before from working out at home and I never have to leave the comfort of my living room, pay for the kids to go to a gym daycare or head out in the cold of winter to go to the gym! I love it!

If you are looking for some great at-home workout DVD's to get your resolution started and lose those stubborn pounds, then check out these great new DVD's from the Element Yoga series and Just Walk series! They are great for all levels but I really recommend them if you are just beginning  an exercise routine!

It will help increase your muscle tone, boost your energy level, improve your balance and leave you feeling rejuvenated.

The Vinyasa flows can build strength and flexibility, while the Hatha poses focus on developing strong, proper posture and balanced alignment. The Conditioning Program combines standing and floor poses specifically selected to strengthen major muscle groups, firm the core and sculpt some of the often overlooked smaller muscle groups. Together, these two programs can help you experience the real difference that yoga conditioning can make both in the way that you look and in the way that you feel. BONUS meditation included.

I bet we all have fond memories of watching the animated Peter Pan as children and loving it! I know I did! Now you can enjoy the story as an adult in the new PAN!

Peter (Levi Miller) is a mischievous 12-year-old boy with an irrepressible rebellious streak, but in the bleak London orphanage where he has lived his whole life those qualities do not exactly fly. Then one incredible night, Peter is whisked away from the orphanage and spirited off to a fantastical world of pirates, warriors and fairies called Neverland. There, he finds amazing adventures and fights life-or-death battles while trying to uncover the secret of his mother, who left him at the orphanage so long ago, and his rightful place in this magical land.

Teamed with the warrior Tiger Lily (Rooney Mara) and a new friend named James Hook (Garrett Hedlund), Peter must defeat the ruthless pirate Blackbeard (Hugh Jackman) to save Neverland and discover his true destiny—to become the hero who will forever be known as Peter Pan.

#WarRoomMovie #Giveaway #FlyBy

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

Do the holidays bring about a feeling of stress? Are there family members or friends who are going through a difficult time? Do you desire your job to be something different? Are your children struggling? Is your marriage at a crossroads? Are you finding it difficult to make ends meet? Could you use a prayer "war room"? Let me introduce you to the movie WAR ROOM - a movie I pray can help you establish a battle plan of prayer for all of those things in your life that can weigh you down, especially during the holidays.

About War Room:

From the award-winning creators of Fireproof and Courageous comes WAR ROOM, a compelling drama with humor and heart that explores the power that prayer can have on marriages, parenting, careers, friendships, and every other area of our lives.

Tony and Elizabeth Jordan seemingly have it all - great jobs, a beautiful daughter, and their dream house. But appearances can be deceiving. Tony and Elizabeth Jordan's world is actually crumbling under the strain of a failing marriage. While Tony basks in his professional success and flirts with temptation, Elizabeth's bitterness only increases.

But their lives take an unexpected turn when Elizabeth's newest client, Miss Clara, challenges Elizabeth to a prayer "war room" and a battle plan of prayer for her family. As Elizabeth begins to fight for her family, Tony must decide if he will make amends.

As Miss Clara wisely says, "Victories don't come by accident!" A #1 movie in theaters, WAR ROOM is filled with more of the authentic characters loved by millions in previous Kendrick Brothers' films and a vivid reminder that prayer is a powerful weapon.
