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.

    I really like coming of age movies and it's nice to see Eric Roberts on screen again. I've always liked him and I'm glad he seems to be getting his life together again.

Young Adult

There has been lots of buzz that Young Adult could be a "dark horse" Oscar contender, and I was interested to see it, especially at an early screening. I generally like director Jason Reitman's movies a lot ( Juno, Up in the Air, Thank You for Smoking , etc.), and he worked with writer Diablo Cody on Juno , which is one of my favorite movies. Unfortunately,  Young Adult  ended up not really being "my cup of tea," though perhaps others will like it better. Mavis Gary (Charlize Theron, Hancock ) is a ghostwriter of a young adults series, Waverly Prep, which has just been canceled. She needs to write the last book in the series, however, and she has no inspiration for it. Sick of the random guys with whom she's been having one-night stands, she convinces herself that her high school sweetheart, Buddy Slade (Patrick Wilson, TV's A Gifted Man ), is the one she is meant to be with, even though he is married with a newborn daughter, and so Mavis returns to h

Movie Review and Digital Code GIVEAWAY: Let Him Go {ends 2/7}

*Disclosure: I received a copy of this movie for reviewing purposes. The opinions expressed here, however, are my own. Last night, my parents and I watched Let Him Go , with Kevin Costner and Diane Lane. It was released in theaters and on VOD recently. Read on to see how you can win a digital code for the movie! Official movie synopsis: Following the loss of their son, a retired sheriff and his wife leave their Montana ranch to rescue their young grandson from the clutches of a dangerous family living off the grid in the Dakotas. (courtesy: Google) ^ To say any more would spoil the plot of the movie. I will say this: this movie starts off very slowly, with the death of a retired sheriff's son (Costner in the sheriff's role), and later the son's wife remarries. The man she chooses to remarry isn't a good guy—Lane's character sees him slapping the wife and also the child around—and later he and his wife abscond with their grandson.  My parents and I actually really li

Movie Reviews and GIVEAWAY: Mulan (1998) vs. Mulan (2020) - ends 11/22

Image
*Disclosure: I received a digital copy of Mulan for this review. The opinions expressed here, however, are my own. Recently I received a digital code of the new Mulan , which was released earlier this year on Disney+ but at a premium price for subscribers ($30). I had seen the older Mulan , from 1998, but not recently, so yesterday I watched both that version (on Disney+) as well as the new version. Read on for my thoughts, and also enter to win a digital copy of the new Mulan  movie! Mulan (1998) This is a beloved Disney movie, and I was curious to see if it would stand up to my memories of it. This one is a musical (the 2020 one is not) and also has some fun characters like Mushu, voiced by Eddie Murphy, and Cri-Kee, a "lucky cricket" belonging to Mulan.  Overall, the songs here were great, including my favorite, a toe-tapper called "I'll Make a Man Out of You" (although prior to Googling, I thought the name was "Let's Get Down to Business," as t
