My Review:
We are fans of Cars and Cars 2 so we were excited to be invited to an advance screening of Planes 3D. We really enjoyed it. Ten thumbs up from five of us! Planes is like "Top Gun" for kids :). The main character, Dusty (a cropdusting plane), dreams of competing in an international aerial race. But he's afraid of heights...go figure! With the help of his mentor, Skipper (a reclusive old naval aviator), and several friends (old and new), Dusty soars with courage to fulfill his dream. Challenge. Obstacles. Kindness. Integrity. Friendship. Adventure around the world. Determination. Cheating. Lies. Pride. Overcoming fear. Romantic pursuit. Fantastic computer animation. Interesting characters. For example, Sinbad is the voice of Roper, a hot-tempered race official full of sly remarks. Planes is filled with nonstop action, great music, and plenty of humor. And it's so cool to watch it in 3D; I felt like I was flying in the sky with those planes. Lots of fun!

DVD Review and Giveaway: A Mile in His Shoes

A Mile in His Shoes is a family-friendly movie (PG) about a young man diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome (a form of autism) and how his God-given talent (his amazing throwing ability) helps him and others. It's about overcoming challenges in life. It is based on the book "The Legend of Mickey Tussler" (a true story). It's directed by William Dear, the director of "Angels In the Outfield." It stars Dean Cain who plays Arthur Murphy, a baseball coach and Luke Schroder who plays Mickey, the main character. Excellent performances! My family and I enjoyed this movie. It spoke to my heart deeply because one of my kids has symptoms that are similar to Asperger's Syndrome but the doctors diagnosed him with anxiety disorder, instead. My son is very athletic and great with numbers like Mickey. He is also sensitive to noise and crowds like Mickey. When Coach Murphy sees Mickey (a farmer boy) throw apples at a bucket for his pigs, he knows that he has just fo
