Movie Review: Finding Dory

Opening Date: Friday, June 17

Rating: PG
Running Time: 95 minutes

Thirteen years after Finding Nemo, I was looking forward to watching Finding Dory and I was not disappointed. In Finding Dory, we get to see Dory (voice of Ellen DeGeneres)'s backstory. As a young fish, she lives happily with her loving & understanding mom (voice of Diane Keaton) and dad (voice of Eugene Levy). But her short term memory loss has always been a challenge throughout her life. Forgetfulness can be frustrating and frightening. She gets separated from her parents and grows up without them. All of a sudden while living in the coral reef with Marlin (voice of Albert Brooks) and Nemo (voice of Hayden Rolence), Dory remembers that she has a family and is determined to go find them. Dory, Marlin, and Nemo journey across the ocean to California's Marine Life Institute (MLI), a rehabilitation center and aquarium. Some people may miss the fish tank gang from Finding Nemo. Well, you will enjoy meeting the new interesting characters at MLI: Hank the Octopus (voice of Ed O'Neill), Destiny the Whale Shark (voice of Kaitlin Olson), and Bailey the Beluga Whale (voice of Ty Burrell). Finding Dory is a fun, inspiring, & heart-warming film. Parents with a special needs kid will be able to relate. It's a beautiful story about family, friendship, parenting, unconditional love, encouragement, memories, struggles, strengths, hope, and perseverance. Awesome animation! Lots of laugh-out-loud moments! Check out the unforgettable adventure of this funny, friendly, forgetful fish!

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...
