Contest winner and movies
Congratulations to Lorraine who has won the Finn on the Fly DVD. It's a quirky Canadian family movie that I enjoyed watching with my kids. I hope you like it, too, Lorraine.
Speaking of movies ... I confess that I haven't been to any 'adult' ones this summer. (You know what I'm talking about.)
I was hoping to catch "The Time Traveller's Wife" because I loved the book so much. (I know, the movie is never as good as the book). Has anyone seen it?
It's a sad reality that my summer theatre experience has consisted of ... drum roll please ... Harry Potter, G-Force and Ponyo. All kid flicks. I must say, though, that Ponyo (a Japanese animated movie with an English-speaking voice cast) is very charming and a refreshing departure from much of the kid fare we, mums, are used to.
What movie (kid-oriented or otherwise) are you dying to see? And what are your all-time favourite family flicks?
Talk to you soon, Kathryn

congrats Lorraine!
I am dying to take my daughter to see G-Force (I know she'd enjoy it). I haven't seen My Sister's Keeper yet and would like to as well.
I don't have one favourite movie; however, I never miss an Audrey Hepburn movie.....for the family I love "The Sound of Music".

Thank you very much! My kids will enjoy Finn on the Fly for sure, they love animal movies. Their favourite movies to date are The Aristocats and Super Dog. My favourite family movie is "The three lives of Thomasina" Gives me goosebumps when the little girl is out in the rain calling for her cat.

I did see the movie "My sister's keeper" and it's a tearjerker if you go see it, bring a lots of kleenex. But my all time favourite is "I am Sam" with Sean Penn and Dakota Fanning I wouldn't mind seeing it again. My favourite family movie would be "The Polar Express" 2004, starring Tom Hanks
