Suffragette Brings to Light Women’s Fight for Equality
Last week I was asked to attend the theatrical release for the Focus Features movie Suffragette at The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences in Beverly Hills.

The movie was released today, October 23rd, in selected theaters in Los Angeles and New York with a full release Thanksgiving week.

And be sure to bring your tween, teen, sister, mother and/or friend because this is a movie everyone young (and young-at-heart) should see! I…

Poster Revealed Today to Kick Off Countdown to Trailer Release Tickets to Star Wars: The Force Awakens Go on Sale Everywhere Following the Trailer Launch Star Wars was the first movie I remember watching as a kid.

“Seeing characters become larger than life always brings me joy.” ~ Eric Goldberg One of my favorite parts of the Tomorrowland Media event a few weeks back was our meeting with Greg Goldberg, the Supervising Animator for Genie at the Disney Studios.

You could tell how much he cared for Robin when he told stories about making the movie. Here are some of our favorite parts of the interview.

Family :: Tis the Season for Some Downtime
It seems like every mom I run into these days has a look of “oh, boy, the holidays are almost here!” This time of year can be so hectic between shuffling the kids to hockey games, helping solve their quadratic equations and giving the little ones their baths, that you might skip doing the things that help keep you in a balanced and calm state. Why not take a walk with some friends? Or head out to your favorite breakfast sans kids and read a book while enjoying a hot cup of coffee. Or maybe catch up on some missed episodes – if not full seasons – of some your favorite shows. Did…
