I don’t watch TV often.. at all. It takes a very interesting pitch, or really great reviews from family and friends for me to actually sit down to watch a TV show or movie.  My sister recently got me to watch Modern Family and now I’m hooked. I only watch it on Hulu though and on my own time, when I have a few spare minutes.. like at 1:30 in the morning when I can’t sleep.

Despite that, I am so glad I took advantage of the opportunity to review Marry Me, a Lifetime movie staring Lucy Lui.  What a great movie.  Realistic?  No.  Fairytale?  Absolutely!

Lucy Lui plays a single woman who throughout the movie obtains three fiances which creates one big fiasco.

Rae Ann Carter, played by Lucy Lui, is a social worker who despite her rocky love-life past has three men who are trying to win her heart and ask her to marry them.  Rae Ann seems desperate to settle down but sabotages her relationship with the one fiance that truly loves her.  That’s all I’ll say, so I don’t spoil the movie for you.

Marry Me airs December 12th at 9m EST so get the kids to bed, pop some popcorn, pour a glass of wine, and enjoy the 1st part of this two part movie tonight!

Watch a trailer of Marry Me below:

It’s America’s new deadly obsession and millions of people do it every single day – texting, cell phones and driving. On Monday, January 18, The Oprah Winfrey Show presents an hour of television that could save your life.

You’ll hear stories of people who have lost loved ones in crashes caused by distracted drivers and also see what happens when drivers who text are put to the test.

It’s an issue that Oprah is passionate about. “Most people think they can text and talk on the phone and they can handle it, and it’s the ‘other’ people who can’t really handle it….Everybody thinks they can handle it. But you can’t. You can’t.”

Be sure to tune in on Monday, January 18th, to find out just how dangerous distracted driving really is, and how you can join the movement to stop it.

every battle.   every journey.    every adventure.    needs a hero

Just reading that gives me the shivers.  Delgo, an action packed, family-friendly (rated PG), romantic, and humorous movie is truly one-of-a-kind.  Delgo features a voice cast of Freddie Prinze, Jr. (Delgo), Jennifer Love Hewitt (Princess Kyla), Anne
Bancroft (exiled Empress Sedessa) as well as Chris Kattan (Filo), Val
Kilmer (Bogardus), Lou Gossett Jr. (Nohrin King), Michael Clarke Duncan
(Lockni Stonesage Council), Kelly Ripa (Kurrin), Burt Reynolds (Delgo’s
Father) and Sally Kellerman (Narrator).  Very impressive for a production not made in Hollywood.  Delgo was created by Atlanta based Fathom Studios with a small but extremely talented staff and is the first feature length CG film created outside of the studio system. 

Here is an exclusive image from the film, Delgo, thanks to Team Mom.

A mom's review (me) of Delgo – based on the trailers – The variety of character types includes fairy, dragon, dinosaur, and sea creatures. Delgo's characters are colorful, and their impeccably smooth motions bring them to life in a way that I've never seen in a computer animated movie before.  I can't wait to see the entire film!

Press release excerpt –
"The
story takes place in the magical land of Jhamora which is divided
between two cultures – the Nohrin, winged masters of the skies, and the
Lockni, the terrestrial tribe who harness the mystical powers of the
land. When Delgo, a reckless Lockni teenager, forms a forbidden
friendship with the spunky Nohrin Princess Kyla, hostilities between
the two peoples escalate, setting the stage for an exiled empress to
exact her revenge and reclaim her rule. Falsely imprisoned, Delgo and
his best friend, Filo, must put aside their differences to join forces
with a sworn enemy, Bogardus, and travel to the mysterious land of
Perran to rescue Princess Kyla. Here they encounter fanciful creatures
and discover more than just a kidnapped princess, they learn the value
of different cultures and the importance of working together."

Delgo teaches children about the need
for people to come together, despite their culture, history, and backgrounds, to
work for a better future for everyone and that it can be done.  Delgo is rated PG but there is violence in the form of a war.  As far as I can tell from the trailers, you won't see blood or other distressing signs of bodily injury.  

Delgo looks very sci-fi which I like because I think that gives younger children less chance of taking the characters as reality and holding on to the more violent parts of the film which are far surpassed by the funny, romantic, humorous parts.

Go to Delgo.com to watch two trailers for the movie and check out the Scrapbook while you are there.  It's really interesting.

I would love to get your feedback on Delgo after you've seen it!
