My family looks forward to Family Movie Night and it just so happens that it is taking place this Saturday night!! We are all so excited to grab our popcorn and pile up to watch the new family friendly movie that will be airing on NBC at 8 PM EST on June 11th. It just so happens that it is also Tate’s birthday which makes it an even better reason to celebrate.

I had the privilege of getting to watch an early screening of the new family movie that is made possible thanks to P&G/Walmart and let me just tell you , this is the best one yet! I say that with each and every movie that they come out with but they truly do just keep getting better and better. I actually watched this one twice…back to back. It is really that good and I can’t wait to watch it again on Saturday. I hope you will join me and my family as we watch…

FOV Poster

Through mysterious footage captured on an old malfunctioning video camera, Sinclair High School’s star quarterback, Tyler McFarland, learns that some of his teammates have been bullying Cory Walker, a troubled new transfer student.  Aware that sharing this information with the coach might get his friends kicked off the team and ultimately cost the school the state championship, Tyler must choose what’s more important: winning or doing what’s right.

As these events unfold, the camera also reveals more surprising footage to Tyler’s kid sister Lucy… She learns that Cory has a secret past, unknown even to him.  Now Lucy must convince her mom (Faith Ford, Murphy Brown) and family that the camera’s revealing insight is not a product of her imagination as she enlists their help to find the answers Cory so desperately needs.  It’s a compelling and intriguing story that shows both the challenges and rewards of doing the right thing even when it’s tough to do.

 


As I said, the premiere of Field of Vision is on Saturday, June 11 on NBC at 8pm ET/7pm CT. You won’t want to miss it, you will laugh, you will cry and you will love being able to watch a movie with your whole family and not have to worry about the content being shown. It is appropriate for ALL ages. You can learn more about Family Movie Night on their website and Facebook page. That way you never have to miss another Family Movie Night with P&G/Walmart again!

Truth Be Told

We have all done it. Told what we perceive as a little “white” lie. We make ourselves believe that it is for the benefit of others. Or that no one will really ever know. But, there comes a time we have to ask ourselves…when is it really ever ok to lie? Where’s the line between a little one or big one? When is it white? And would we approve if our kids told a lie?

The new P&G movie “Truth Be Told” is on Saturday, April 16th on FOX at 8pm/7ct. I can’t emphasize enough how great this movie is.  I had the privilege of previewing the movie and was so touched. The P&G movies have become a family favorite here at The Post-It Place and I know they will in your home as well. So gear up for a great Family Movie Night on April 16th thanks to P&G and Walmart for a movie starring Candace Cameron Bure, David James Elliot and Ronny Cox that is not only family friendly but features family friendly commercials…and is FREE! No spending a fortune to go to the movies together. You can do so right from your living room. And if you stock up on popcorn and drinks that makes it even better!

 

When leading marriage counselor Annie Morgan (Candace Cameron Bure) is offered an opportunity to host a relationship talk show, she jumps at the chance. But fearful that being single might ruin her big break, she conspires with an old college friend and recent widower, Mark Crane (David James Elliott), to pose as a married couple with kids. Their story starts to unravel when Annie and Mark join her eccentric soon-to-be boss (Ronny Cox) for a weekend at his ranch in New Mexico. Comical misunderstandings mark the event as Annie struggles to keep up the ruse, finding herself emotionally invested and conflicted by her own conscience. Will she confess the truth about her marital status and her feelings for Mark… and will the truth set them free?

Change of Plans (GIVEAWAY)

Change of Plans

I am soooo excited!! On January 8th, 2011 the next Walmart/P&G movie will hit the air!! You are going to LOVE this movie. It has extra special meaning to me for many different reasons…one of which is the fact that I had the privilege of being on the set while part of it was being filmed. I got to meet the actors and actresses along with a ton of the behind the scenes people. It was the trip of a lifetime and one that I will never forget.

“Change of Plans” is a humorous and heartwarming story that shows us just how fulfilling life can be when you look past your own plans and invest a little in the lives of others. You know…give back a little.

Up to this point, Sally Danville’s life has played out just as she hoped it would.  As a beautiful and free-spirited musician, she and her fighter-pilot husband, Jason, live life on the go, free of domestic responsibilities.  But with a single phone call from Child & Family Services case worker, Dorothy (Phylicia Rashad, “The Cosby Show”), she learns that things don’t always go according to plan.  Sally (Brooke White, “American Idol”) is met with the news that her best friend from college has died in a tragic accident on a Peace Corps mission and has named Sally the legal guardian of her four kids – 3 of them adopted from third-world countries.  Now Sally and Jason (Joe Flanigan, “Stargate Atlantis”) must quickly learn to parent this instant family and help the kids deal with the culture clash of life in America.

While I was in Toronto on the set of “Change of Plans” Brooke White had a moment to talk to me about the movie :

As with “The Jensen Project” and “A Walk in My Shoes” music mogul Randy Jackson produced the soundtrack for “Change of Plans” with tracks from some of today’s hottest artists including Brooke White!

So…grab a blanket, grab the popcorn and tune in on January 8th at 8/7 c on FOX to watch “Change of Plans”!

Thanks to Walmart and P&G you can enter to win a “Change of Plans” viewing kit that includes the DVD/CD soundtrack bundle! a “Change of Plans” fleece blanket as well as all the P&G/Walmart family movies to date. That’s 3 family movies: “Secrets of The Mountain”, “Jenson Project” and “A Walk in My Shoes”. Unfortunately, the DVD for “A Change of Plans” will not be hitting the shelves until later this spring, so we cannot include it in the giveaway. For those that have already entered I apologize for the change, there was a mix-up at the time of my posting that couldn’t be avoided.

To Enter: Simply leave a comment stating whether or not you are where you planned to be at this point in your life.

All entries must be received by January 8th, 2011 AT 11:59 pm. All entries must have a valid US  mailing address. Winner will be selected randomly and  will have 3 days to respond to the verification e-mail before another winner will be chosen.

The Jensen Project (GIVEAWAY)

jensen project promo

Recently I had the wonderful opportunity to go to New York for a preview of a new family friendly movie that will show on NBC on Friday July 16, 2010 at 8:00 EST/7:00 CST. It is such a fabulous movie! You may already be seeing the commercials announcing the movie, I know I am. My whole family can’t wait until the 16th. They have heard me rave about the movie so much.

The Jensen Project 1

“The Jensen Project”  follows the overwhelming success of “Secrets of the Mountain”, if you haven’t seen that movie…you really should. These movies focus on providing quality entertainment that the whole family can enjoy without “the lunge”. What’s the lunge? Oh, you know…the lunge is where you have to lunge for the remote to change the channel or mute the TV really quick because of a non-family friendly scene or language.

The Jensen Project 2

Walmart and P&G have done a fabulous job through their commitment to deliver quality family programming. I am so thankful that they recognized this need and acted on it. We like watching movies as a family but there aren’t many out there without horrible language or some form of nudity and if they are family friendly, they are usually cartoons.

The Jensen Project 3

“The Jensen Project” has a thrilling and fun science fiction plot that focuses on the Thompson family, who are reintroduced to The Jensen Project – a secret community of geniuses conducting advanced underground research to solve the world’s most difficult problems. The family finds themselves forced into a frantic pursuit to keep a potentially dangerous technology from falling into the wrong hands. As the family races to stop the group’s rogue faction, they rediscover the importance of honesty, courage, and being there for one another.

My family is going to love all the technology, gadgets and gizmo’s that this movie offers. We are huge Sci-Fi buffs and this seriously appeals to our tastes. My favorite part? The plane ride. You will just have to watch it to see what I am talking about…I don’t want to post any spoilers. It is Laugh Out Loud Funny because it is so much like something my Tate would do/say.

The Jensen Project 4

I adore Kellie Martin(ER, Life Goes On) and was thrilled when I heard that she plays one of the leading characters in the movie. Also in the all-star line up is Brady Smith (ER, NCIS), Justin Kelly (Saving Grace, The Latest Buzz), Levar Burton (Star Trek, Roots), David Andrews (Hannibal, Terminator 3, Apollo 13,), Patricia Richardson (Home Improvement, West Wing), and Alyssa Diaz (Ben 10, CSI:NY).

I hope that you will all plan to tune in on July 16th to watch “The Jensen Project”. And to make it even more fun for 2 lucky readers…you can enter to win:

The Jensen Project Gift Pack

Complete with a tote bag, calculator, popcorn, light-up ball, and a copy of “Secrets of the Mountain”

Walmart and P&G provided me with transportation to preview The Jensen Project and with a gift pack to enjoy. They are also providing the gift packs for this giveaway. This has in no affected my positive opinion of The Jensen Project. It is a great movie that families can enjoy watching together with a great cast and quality content. All opinions stated are those of my own and were in no way influenced by any outside source.
