WOW!
I LOVE "Iron Man 3"!
Usually, I am not the type of person to enjoy Superhero movies, but I LOVE Iron Man!
Part of it has to do with the fact that Robert Downey Jr. is amazing, and nice to look at. But more than that, is the way the movie is written to be almost plausible.
Iron Man makes mistakes, VERY stupid Human mistakes. Those errors, combined with the humor in the script, make for superb entertainment. Even for someone like me, who does not really care for the action-packed superhero genre.
There is a young boy in the movie, who reminds me a bit of my own children, and he really creates a human-breakthrough feel for Tony Stark. I love how the writers played off Iron Man's fame, and created some humorous moments in the movie, where the awestruck fans of Iron Man approached Tony Stark and really came across as many Americans do around celebrities.
I HIGHLY recommend "Iron Man 3" to all of my readers.
Please keep in mind that Iron Man 3 is Rated PG-13!!!
It is NOT suitable for younger children. I might take my 9-year-old to see it, if she really wanted to go, but not my 6-year-old, or 5-year-old!

God Created Animals ~ Kids LOVE Animals!
My children ADORE animals!
My daughter loves horses, kittens, and mice.
My oldest son loves giraffes and elephants.
My youngest loves anything that lives under the sea, but especially whales and hippos.
As you can imagine, we love to visit zoos and aquariums, and can't get enough of any pet store or animal encounter!
We love to watch nature shows and movies too!
They have seen the previews for the new movie "Disneynature’s CHIMPANZEE" and keep asking to see it!
Since "Chimpanzee" does not hit theatres until April 20, we are making due with the what is on the web!
Here is my boys' favorite photo from the movie promotional material so far:
The newest feature is the music video below - "Rise" by the McClain Sisters. I hope you enjoy it as much as my children and I do!
“Rise,” written and performed by McClain Sisters after being inspired by Disneynature’s feature film CHIMPANZEE, is the latest Disney Friends for Change anthem. With the motivating lyrics “Together we can do anything,” the song captures the central message of the program: when kids and families work together, they can inspire each other and their communities to make a lasting, positive change in the world. “Rise” is the fourth Friends for Change anthem to be released with a benefit back to the Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund. This contribution marks nearly $1 million awarded through the music campaign to charities working to protect the planet and conserve nature for future generations.
We are looking very forward to the movie premiering in theatres, and will be first in line to see the beauty of "Disneynature's Chimpanzees" on April 20, 2012!!
"So God created the great sea creatures and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarm, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good." ~Genesis 1:21
"Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” ~Genesis 1:26

Movie Review: "John Carter"
I had the pleasure of taking my eight-year-old daughter on a date night at the movies!
We saw the new Disney film, "John Carter".
She absolutely LOVED this movie!
The Mommy in me found the movie to be entertaining, yet predictable. The music was wonderful. The special effects were well done. It was a typical science fiction story crossed with a western, with a love story woven in, and tons of action.
Good beats evil, and the good guy gets the girl.
I was surprised that she liked it so much, since it is rated PG-13, and exhibited some action with violence and strange scenes.
The premise of this movie involves space and time travel, aliens, and a love story, all wrapped up and neatly presented in true Disney fashion.
I was reminded quite a bit of Star Wars, but on a much smaller scale.
The historical features of the movie (New York City in the 1800's) clashed with the stark, almost robotic, world of the Planet Mars.
I must agree with my daughter that Woola, the ugly martian "dog", had an endearing and cute personality that saved the humor throughout the movie.
We also loved how the movie approached the change in gravity, from Earth to Mars (Barsoom) - allowing John Carter to jump beyond normal human capacity.
The humor in having the Tharks (Martians) call John Carter "Virginia" because of the language barrier.

While we both enjoyed the movie, I must say that I would recommend this film for the preteen and teen audience.
Please enjoy this trailer of the new Disney film, "John Carter":

My daughter can't wait to see this movie again, and has already asked to buy it when the movie becomes available on DVD!
