Happy Halloween!!!

Happy Halloween!  Do you have plans for this holiday?  Are you dressing up and going trick-a-treating? Are you going to a party?  Will you be staying home and watching Halloween movies?  Well, if you are staying home we have a suggestion for you.

This year why not watch the movie Fun Size. It is a cute Halloween theme movie. This 2012 movie stars Victoria Justice as  Wren a high school senior. On Halloween she and her friend April (Jane Levy) are so excited when they get invited to Aaron Riley’s party (Thomas McDonell). He is the popular boy. Wren’s mom has other plans for her.  Her mom Joy (Chelsea Handler)  is going to a party with her much younger boyfriend Keevin (Josh Pence) and tells Wren she has to take her little brother Albert (Jackson Nicoll) trick-a-treating. Wren reluctantly takes Albert. Albert gets into all sorts of trouble stealing candy from the neighbors. Later that night they take Albert to a haunted house.  That is where he goes missing.  Wren and April go to look for him with the help of their friend Roosevelt (Thomas Mann) and  Peng (Osric Chau).  You will need to watch the movie to see what happens.

You can watch this movie while enjoying your fun size candy that you may have gotten this Halloween.  What is your favorite candy,  Hershey’s Candy Bars, M&M’s, Snickers, Milky Way’s, Three Musketeers, etc?

Holiday Movies, Cookies and Hot Cocoa

 

Here we are in December and it is holiday time.  For the people of the Jewish faith this week they are celebrating Chanukah. That is the festival of lights and lasts for 8 days.  Next week people of the Christian faith will be celebrating Christmas.  That holiday remembers the day Jesus was born.  Then before you know it the New Year is here.  In this hectic time we think you should take a few hours to yourself and curl up on the couch, watch some holiday movies and have cookies and cocoa.  This could help you relax.

It wouldn't be the holiday season if you didn't watch at least one holiday movie and why not a classic movie.  We have chosen "Miracle on 34th Street" but the 1994 version. "Miracle on 34th Street" is a time honored holiday movie watching tradition at this time of year. The 1994 version is the second remake of the original 1947 movie. That movie starred Maureen O'Hara and Natalie Wood.  The first remake was for TV in 1973.  That star David Hartman, Jane Alexander and Sebastian Cabot.  USA Network sometimes still airs that version.

In the 1994 version of the movie you will notice that Macy’s and Gimbels are no longer the stores that are mentioned, the reason for this is because Macy’s wouldn’t grant permission to use their name and Gimbles went out of business in the 80's. It stars Richard Attenborough as Kris Kringle, Elizabeth Perkins as Dorie Walker, Dylan McDermott as Bryan Bedford and Mara Wilson as Susan Walker. This movie is about and we are quoting a line from the original 1947 movie when Fred Gailey who was Kris lawyer in that movie says, “Faith is believing when common sense tells you not to. Don't you see? It's not just Kris that's on trial, it's everything he stands for. It's kindness and joy and love and all the other intangibles.”  Faith is something science can't prove. Sometimes you just have to go with your gut feeling.  This movie will at most will give you a good feeling. If you want to know more follow this link.
