GIVEAWAY: The Perfect Summer on DVD, ends 7/13

The Perfect Summer is now out on DVD, and I have a copy for one of my lucky readers to win.

About the movie:
In The Perfect Summer, fatherless teenager Jake (Adam Horner) is happy living in Chicago, until his mother (Sydney Penny) decides to uproot them to a small surfing town where her estranged father (Eric Roberts), Jake's grandfather, lives. The transition isn't easy for anyone and it seems everywhere he goes, Jake manages to make enemies, including the town bully, Tyler (JD Banks), who doesn't like the new interloper or his interest in young surfing prodigy, Kayla (Katie Garfield). Stuck in the beach town with no friends and no knowledge of surfing, Jake has nowhere to turn until Cody (Jason Castro), the local surf shop owner, reveals that Jake's grandfather is a surf legend. Tired of feeling like an outcast, Jake asks Lou to teach him about surfing. Jake learns to face his fears, push through inhibitions and realizes that winning the respect of his new peers - and Katie's heart - might mean facing the biggest challenge of his life.

Movie Review: This is Where I Leave You

Image
Continuing our string of books-to-movies this week is This is Where I Leave You , based on the novel by Jonathan Tropper , who also wrote the movie's screenplay. I have not read the book, but I was hoping that, based on its cast alone, the movie would be a mix of funny and serious elements - a dramedy, perhaps. Unfortunately, the film could have been funnier, and I wasn't that impressed with it overall.  Judd Altman (Jason Bateman) is having a rough year. He discovered his wife, Quinn (Abigail Spencer), cheating on him with his boss, radio personality Wade Beaufort (Dax Shepard), and he moves out of their beautiful loft into a small bachelor-esque apartment. His sister, Wendy (Tina Fey), then calls him to say that his father has passed away, so he leaves NYC to head back home to sit shiva with his mom (Jane Fonda) and his other two brothers, Phillip (Adam Driver) and Paul (Corey Stoll). While back home, he reconnects with an old crush, Penny (Rose Byrne), which throws a wren

*Disclosure: I received something of value in exchange for this post. The opinions expressed here, however, are my own. I saw The Menu in theaters a few weeks ago, going in mostly blind, although I knew there was a twist ending. I did NOT correctly guess the twist, and it's a movie I've still been thinking about now, almost two months later. The movie is now available on digital and will be available on Blu-ray and DVD on January 17. It's also currently streaming on HBO Max. Two of my lucky winners will win a digital code for The Menu ! Read below for more details.  About the movie: From Searchlight Pictures and director Mark Mylod (Succession) comes the satirical thriller The Menu . This outrageous tale of fine dining has been celebrated by critics as “gloriously twisted” (Chris Evangelista, Slash Film) “wildly entertaining” (Alan Cerny, Vital Thrills) and “undeniably fun” (Brian Tallerico, RogerEbert.com). The film is C

Review and GIVEAWAY - Jurassic World: Dominion, on digital {ends 8/23}

Image
Jurassic World: Dominion is officially out on 4K, Blu-ray, and Digital today, and one of my lucky readers will win a digital Movies Anywhere code for themselves! About the movie: Four years after the destruction of Isla Nublar, dinosaurs now live and hunt alongside humans all over the world. This fragile balance will reshape the future and determine, once and for all, whether human beings are to remain the apex predators on a planet they now share with history's most fearsome creatures. My review: I saw this movie both in theaters (actually in 3D, which was a little bit scary, haha!) and via digital a few days ago.  I stand by my initial review of 4 out of 5 stars: if you're a fan of the Jurassic World franchise, Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard are back in this installment. And, if you're a fan of the original Jurassic Park  movies, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, and Sam Neill are back for this one, so it was a fun mashup of both the original cast and the newer cast.  The p
