Captain Underpants Kit #Giveaway

TRA-LA-LAAAA! 

Get ready for a world of pranks, super villains, and your favorite underwear-wielding superhero in the Netflix original series DreamWorks The Epic Tales of Captain Underpants premiering July 13. George Beard and Harold Hutchins are two best buds who share a love of comic books and practical jokes – and a strong dislike for their cranky, fun-hating school principal, Mr. Krupp. When their over-the-top pranks get out of hand, the boys unleash their creative superpowers by transforming Krupp into the bumbling, briefs-baring superhero, Captain Underpants! The future of Jerome Horwitz Elementary is always in jeopardy, and it’s up to two prank-loving fourth graders and one goofy caped crusader to save it. What could possibly go wrong?

From Peabody Award and Emmy-winning executive producer Peter Hastings, the series is based on the epic novels by Dav Pilkey that have sold more than 70 million copies worldwide. Pilkey himself has praised the show saying "I binge-watched all of the episodes in one afternoon...I couldn’t help myself. Peter Hastings has totally captured the craziness and heart of the Captain Underpants multiverse and I hope everybody will love the show as much as I do.  Kids have been asking for more Captain Underpants books for years, and to me it feels like we are getting brand-new books--- except they’re animated!"

DreamWorks The Epic Tales of Captain Underpants stars both established and emerging voice talent including Sean Astin (Lord of the Rings, "Stranger Things", The Goonies) as the series' narrator, Nat Faxon ("Ben and Kate", “Married") as Captain Underpants/Mr. Krupp, as well as young actors Jay Gragnani and Ramone Hamilton who voice best pals, George Beard and Harold Hutchins. The lively cast comes together to bring Pilkey's classic, fun-filled creation to life. Below is a link to both opening credits and artwork for the release.

Bridge Of Spies on Blu-ray and Digital HD

Disney and Dreamworks invite you to take a step back into an era of espionage and Cold War. Steven Spielberg directs a dramatic thriller set against the backdrop of a series of historic events, Bridge of Spies tells the story of James Donovan (Tom Hanks), a Brooklyn lawyer who finds himself thrust into the center of the Cold War when the CIA sends him on a near impossible mission to negotiate the release of a captured American U-2 pilot. Bring home this high stakes  suspense story on Blu-ray™ Combo Pack and Digital HD February 2, 2016.



My Thoughts

I have always been a huge fan of Tom Hanks. Any movie that he stars is amazing, and this one is no different.   In Bridge of Spies, set in 1957,  Hanks plays an attorney named James Donovan. His firm appoints him to represent a suspected Russian spy named Rudolf Abel even though he is primarily responsible for insurance cases. Abel is a little old man who is  hard to dislike, and who could be facing the death penalty for the crimes he's been accused of. 

Despite his lack of experience in the field, Donovan discovers there was never a warrant issued. When he presents this to the judge, it seems like people aren't really interested in justice. Before long, Donovan finds his own family is in danger simply because he tried to present a fair defense. Never letting this deter him, he fights for his client's life.

This was such an exciting film, and what makes it even more entertaining is the fact that it's inspired by actual events. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. The acting was superb and the costumes and backdrops were very realistic. Any history buff or anyone who likes a well-written story will enjoy this film.

Ancient Egypt

This Halloween will have everyone walking like an Egyptian. The ideas are endless dressed as Cleopatra, King Tut and Anubis, or keep things under wraps with a
Halloween classic - a mummy!

Ancient Greece

Take a page from the history books as an ethereal Greek God or Goddess. You can also put those old sheets to good use with a characteristic toga or bring history to life as a Spartan warrior!

Renaissance Italy

A nod to the rebirth of culture, the renaissance was marked by some of the greatest poets, philosophers, sculptors, artists, architects and musicians. While the possibilities are infinite, some original costume ideas include the Mona Lisa, Leonardo da Vinci or medieval gowns and robes paired with wigs and jewelry. 

 

French Revolution

“Let them eat cake.” Whether you’ll be enjoying cake or candy this Halloween, the French Revolution is chock-full of fashion and extravagance - marked by gowns, jackets, headgear, stockings and quirky accessories.

Present Day

What better way to pay homage to Mr. Peabody himself than an adorable bow tie accompanied by black retro round frames? Add a little black face paint to the nose and some floppy white ears and you’ll have to do a double take! Of course some of those round frames, freckles and a pair of white sneakers would also make for a great Sherman.
