Celebrate the Release of Bad Moms on Blu-ray and Digital HD by Hosting Your Own Bad Moms’ Night In-Giveaway

November 1, 2016 by Kathryn 129 Comments

This past summer, I had the chance to travel to sunny Los Angeles with eOne Films and attend an exclusive premiere of the hit comedy Bad Moms. The movie hit all the right notes in showing off the fun, frustration and outright hilarity of being a mom, and I laughed to tears more than once as I watched. When Bad Moms hit theatres, the response was just as enthusiastic as mine had been and women of all ages celebrated their own inner bad mom!

Now, the hottest comedy of the summer is out on Blu-ray and Digital HD, and eOne Films is encouraging you to celebrate the release by enjoying your own #BadMomsNightIn! Pour a glass of wine, call up your mom squad and pop in the movie for a night that’s sure to be full of fun, laughter and plenty of reminiscing about your own “bad mom” moments! [Read more…]

Experience the Magic of eOne Films Kubo and the Two Strings with Your Family This Summer-Giveaway

August 19, 2016 by Kathryn 70 Comments

Finding a summer movie that that truly captivates everyone that watches it certainly isn’t easy, but this summer’s must-see animated movie has managed to do just that…and it’s in theatres today! Kubo and the Two Strings is a movie with music, magic, heart and an unlikely little hero with one eye. Created by Laika Entertainment and distributed in Canada by eOne Films, it combines stop-motion animation and CGI into a gorgeous cinematic adventure that you won’t want to miss seeing.

A little over a month ago, I had the chance to fly to Los Angeles for an advance screening of Kubo and the Two Strings. With popcorn, soda and my 3D glasses in hand, I grabbed a seat in the busy theatre and sat down to experience the movie for myself. Since my boys weren’t with me, I was curious to see what I would think of the movie from an adult perspective. Within minutes, I was caught up in the magic of the story and the absolutely stunning animation. Stellar voice acting by Art Parkinson, Charlize Theron and Matthew McConaughey added depth to the story but it was the twisting, turning plot itself that really won this movie for me. I was almost scared to blink because I didn’t want to miss a single moment.

Get a Little Bad with a Bad Moms Prize Pack from Chatters Salon and eOne Films

July 28, 2016 by Kathryn 105 Comments

Being a mom. It’s exhausting, frustrating and often thankless. There are days a mom can’t help but feel like she has no idea what she’s doing. There are days that a mom just wants to drop everything, grab a few good friends and run away from the responsibilities of parenthood…if only for a few hours. But then there are those moments when we look at our children, feel our hearts swell with love and pride, and know that becoming a mother was the best decision we ever made.

Still, taking time for ourselves is important. It helps keep us focused, relaxed and able to deal with the many frustrations that parenting brings. And a few weeks ago, Entertainment One gave me the chance to recharge my own mom batteries with a trip to Los Angeles to attend an exclusive premiere screening of Bad Moms, this summer’s hit comedy that will have moms across North America laughing, bonding and connecting like never before.

Ignite Your Child’s Imagination with Dino Dan and Stella and Sam-Giveaway

April 13, 2012 by Kathryn 36 Comments

If there’s one childhood characteristic that I want to nurture in my boys as much as I possibly can, it’s imagination. And so I love finding shows for my children that inspire imagination. The two latest children’s DVD releases from eOne Films do just that and I was very excited when I got to check them out with my boys.

The first DVD we watched was Dino Dan: Ready? Set? Dino! My boys are big fans of Dino Dan already so they were very excited to watch a new collection of Dino Dan episodes. Here’s a brief synopsis:

dino dan ready set dino box art

Follow the adventures of a palaeontologist–training Dan Henderson as he imagines dinosaurs into the real world! Combines live action with CGI dinosaurs! Join Dan as he races a T-rex and a Spinosaurus to see who’s a faster carnivore, makes dancing in gym class fun using different dinosaur movements, and learns all about teamwork from his dinosaur pals. Dan uses the scientific method to gather clues and solve mysteries. Ready? Set? Dino! is an action-packed adventure full of discovery!

The DVD features eight great episodes and as usual, my boys were enraptured by every one of them. Zackary especially loves this show; he really enjoys documentaries and the combination of a boy that imagines dinosaurs in the real world and the true facts about dinosaurs that the episodes always contain are a winning combination with him!

Stella and Sam was a new show for us and we couldn’t wait to check it out on the new Stella and Sam: Follow Me DVD. The story of a fearless big sister and her slightly less outgoing little brother sounded like lots of fun for my own pair! Here’s a synopsis of the disc:

Independent, brave, adventurous, Stella has something to say about everything – the best kind of big sister…especially when your name is Sam and you’re eager to explore the world and learn all that it has to offer! When Stella explains things to her little brother, what she says can be plausible or preposterous. And whatever it is she says, you can be certain that it will make you smile. What as Stella, the irrepressible redhead, and her slightly apprehensive little brother Sam take on the wonders of the world and explore the endearing, intimate scenes of young childhood.

I instantly fell in love with this series based on the books of Marie-Louise Gay and my boys enjoyed it too. They loved the way that Stella could take an ordinary problem or situation and find an extraordinary solution for it! Whether the kids were creating their very own circus or building with boxes, they were always having fun and using their imaginations while they did!

If you’re like me and you haven’t had the pleasure of watching Stella and Sam before, why not check out this great video about the behind-the-scenes adventures of Stella and Sam? It’s so cute to see how the talented children that create the voices of Stella and Sam make the characters come to life!

These titles are great for both older and younger children and are sure to inspire some great imaginative play. If you’ve been looking for a new DVD collection for your own little dreamer, check out these fun new releases from eOne Films for yourself!
