There aren't many women that I have met that don't LOVEEEEE Little Women -whether it is the book, movie or both!

Little Women holds a very special place in my heart because I have 5 sisters and we have had many of the escapades that the sisters in Little Women have. My sisters and I have always loved to sit together and watch the original Little Women so when I saw that a modern day Little Women was coming out and I could get a chance to see it early, I was ecstatic!

I love that they have brought this movie back for new generations of sisters and close friends to enjoy and hopefully get them to read the original book if they haven't!!

My overall thoughts of the movie??

Well, I have to say it doesn't beat the original Little Women movie, sadly. I had high hopes but it just didn't cover all the story lines that we have come to love and expect from the book and original movie.

However, it was still funny - I laughed out loud at many parts - and still took me through the many emotions that Little Women always does - sadness, nostalgia, happiness, and laughter! But at the end, I just didn't feel quite content. The actresses didn't quite reach the bar set by the first one and the storyline just seemed lacking and jumped around between time periods in the girls' life too much.

Overall, I still recommend the movie to all because it is just one of those things that you MUST experience in life with a mother, sister or close friend! But afterwards, definitely go watch the original and read the book!

ABOUT THE FILM

Sisters—and dreams—are unique in their ability to inspire, encourage and change the world. For 150 years, Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women has motivated women of all ages to dream together and celebrate family. Coming to theaters for the first time, a modern retelling of LITTLE WOMEN brings a new generation together with their mothers, sisters and friends.


From girls playing in the attic to women living with purpose, the March sisters—Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy—are committed to always supporting each other. Yet, growing up sometimes means growing apart. An aspiring writer, Jo leaves for New York determined to publish a novel. In the wake of rejected draft upon draft, her editor challenges Jo to write about something more interesting—her family. When tragedy brings the sisters back home, sticking together takes on new meaning. As Jo comforts her sick sister, Beth asks for one thing: a story. Jo knows the perfect one … by heart.

ALL THE WAY

Nominated for 8 Emmy Awards® Including Outstanding Television Movie &
Outstanding Actor – Bryan Cranston

“Until justice is blind to color, until education is unaware of race, until opportunity is unconcerned with the color of men’s skins, emancipation will be a proclamation, but not a fact.” -- Lyndon B. Johnson. 

Following its critically acclaimed, award-winning Broadway run, All the Way (starring four-time Emmy® winner Bryan Cranston who reprises his Tony Award-winning role, is a riveting behind-the-scenes look at President Lyndon B.

The film follows LBJ during his early administration, as he stakes his presidency on what would be an historic, unprecedented Civil Rights Act. Johnson finds himself caught between the moral imperative of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the expectations of the southern Democratic Party leaders who brought Johnson to power. As King battles to press Johnson while controlling more radical elements of the Civil Rights movement, Johnson navigates the bill through Congress, winning a landslide victory against Barry Goldwater, but causing the South to defect from the Democratic Party.

Co-starring with Cranston are Anthony Mackie (Martin Luther King, Jr.), Melissa Leo (Lady Bird Johnson), Bradley Whitford (Hubert Humphrey) and Frank Langella (Sen. Richard Russell). Additional cast members include Joe Morton (Roy Wilkins), Stephen Root (J. Edgar Hoover), Marque Richardson (Bob Moses), Aisha Hinds (Fanny Lou Hamer), Todd Weeks (Walter Jenkins), Mo McRae (Stokely Carmichael) and Spencer Garrett (Walter Reuther).

ALL THE WAY is nominated for 8 Emmys--more than any other TV movie--with one of the categories being Outstanding Directing for a Movie and Outstanding TV Movie. In the film, Bryan Cranston, who is also nominated, reprises his Tony Award-winning role with a riveting behind-the-scenes look at President Lyndon B.

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). The film was written by Susannah Grant (Oscar® nominee for Erin Brockovich) and directed by Rick Famuyiwa (Dope).

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.

Some of my favorite memories growing up were our yearly summer vacations and road trips. It was always a little stressful, but the bonding, laughter and memories has stuck with me over many, many years! Now, I am making my own family memories with my family of five on our yearly summer road trips!

That is why I am so excited for the newest Alvin and The Chipmunks movie: The Road Trip! Sounds like a lot of fun and laughter!

ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS: THE ROAD CHIP

Through a series of misunderstandings, Alvin, Simon and Theodore come to believe that Dave is going to propose to his new girlfriend in Miami…and dump them.
