Family Movie Night
Looking for a cute, family friendly movie to add to your collection?
Put Disney’s Geek Charming on list!
In our house, we all consider ourselves to be a little bit of a geek.
Some….more than others. (That would mean me since I am fluent in HTML).
One thing I enjoy doing with my kids is sitting down and watching movies.
All kinds of movies.
Recently we had the opportunity to sit down together and review the Disney Channel’s latest original movie, Geek Charming.
Geek Charming stars Modern Family’s Sarah Hyland as Dylan Schoenfield, Woodlands Academy’s top girl! When Dylan accidentally drops her expensive handbag into the mall fountain, she is surprised that film geek, Josh Rosen (Matt Prokop), retrieves it for her. In exchange for rescuing her bag, Dylan must agree to be the subject of Josh’s documentary film. Dylan hopes the film will help her campaign for Blossom Queen – she claims that winning is her only life goal. Josh plans to make a hard-hitting expose about popularity, but, as he gets to know Dylan, he learns that the real Dylan is much more interesting than the persona she’s created.
Did I mention that the 2-Disc DVD (DVD + Digital Copy) also includes 10 episodes of the Disney Channel smash hit television show “Shake It Up,” plus a special collectible charm set.
The great news is, being the geeks we are, we are giving 1 lucky reader of The Megalomaniac Mommy their very own copy of Geek Charming on DVD!

This past weekend, I introduced my children to the story of Lady & The Tramp.
You know, classic tale of Dog meets girl. Dog falls in love with girl. Dog and girl share spaghetti in a super cute scene.
Yes, that movie.
Lady & The Tramp is a classic love story.
Lady, a pampered and pedigreed cocker spaniel falls head over heels in love with Tramp, a street smart pooch.
Although they have fun together on several dates, including the spaghetti dinner by moonlight at Tony’s restaurant, their relationship is strained not only by Lady’s loyalty to her human family and their newborn baby, but by Tramp’s devil-may-care attitude that eventually gets Lady in trouble and tossed into the dog pound. However, good-hearted Tramp redeems himself by saving the baby from potential harm and thus wins Lady’s love and
the affection of her human family.
For the first time ever, Lady & The Tramp is being released on Blu-ray with an array of bonus materials. After we watched the movie together, the kids and I flipped through the never-before-seen deleted scenes and checked out the never recorded song “I’m Free as the Breeze” along with “the Siamese Cat Song”. The kids also thought it was pretty cool to see the original 1943 storyboard version of the film. That is just a small sampling of the packed bonus features!!

As you have all heard before, Tatertot is a huge fan of all of the Air Bud / Buddies movies. Every time he sees a commercial for a new one all we hear about is how he wants it soooooo bad!
The latest movie in the Buddie’s series, Treasure Buddies, has arrived on Blu-ray and DVD. The 6th film in the Buddies franchise stars everyone’s favorite talking canine superstars Rosebud, B-Dawg, Budderball, Buddha and Mudbud, as the pup pack journeys to mysterious Egypt in search of the greatest treasure known to animalkind, the legendary Cat’s
Eye jewel, from the lost treasure of Cleocatra! Danger lurks around every secret sphinx, cryptic crypt and puzzling pyramid as Ubasti, a devious cat, schemes to possess the mystical jewel and use its powerful energy to rid the planet of all dogs! With help from new lovable friends Cammy, a baby camel – and a mischievous monkey named Babi – the gang and their new friends avoid booby traps, solve puzzles and explore a mysterious tomb in their most exciting and challenging adventure yet.
We sat down and watched this movie as a family earlier tonight and once again, Disney did not disappoint with the Buddies. Treasure Buddies is another adorable movie that sucks the little ones in with the dogs who ooze cuteness!
After the movie, we checked out the awesome bonus features, the little dude’s favorite was the “Roam” music video which made him dance and shake his little tush.
Plan a movie night with your family and enjoy Treasure Buddies along with these awesome recipes and activities!

Have you had one of those teachers who really made an impact on your life?
I did.
Here name was Mary Johnson and she was my 8th grade C.A. (Communication Arts) teacher. She was the one and only teacher who encouraged me to continue with my creative writing. I’m pretty sure if it wasn’t for her, I wouldn’t be writing this post right now.
In Dead Poets Society (one of my favorite flicks), Robin Williams inspires his students to think for themselves and live life to the fullest. This method of teaching is, of course, frowned upon by the faculty when an unexpected tragedy occurs.
The movie stars Robin Williams as Professor John Keating, Ethan Hawke as Todd Anderson and Robert Sean Leonard as Neil Perry. Oh, and if you watch the show The Good Wife, you will recognize a young Josh Charles (Will Gardner) as Knox Overstreet (he is in the clip below!) Tom Schulman won the Academy Award or Best Original Screenplay in 1989 for this film as well.
Here is a short clip from the film.
The Blu-ray is filled with awesome bonus features such as:
“Dead Poets: A Look Back” featuring interview footage with Director Peter Weir, Ethan Hawke, Robert Sean Leonard and many others; “Raw Takes;” “Master of Sound: Alan Splet” – interviews with David Lynch And Peter Weir; “Cinematography Master Class” – an intensive and inspirational lighting workshop with Cinematographer John Seale; “Audio Commentary” with Director Peter Weir, Cinematographer John Seale and Writer Tom Schulman; and the “Theatrical Trailer.”
I personally enjoyed watching the “Theatrical Trailer” again for the first time ever since the film came out when I was a mere 11 years old.
This is also a film that I was happy to introduce to my 2 older children (age almost 13 and just shy of 12). Both of the kids really enjoyed the movie and loved the message they took from it which as they summed it up was to think outside the box.
We gladly recommend this film for any home movie collection!
