ICE AGE: Continental Drift DVD

Ice Age Continental Drift Movie DVD

Ahoy, matey! Blue Sky Studios unveils a brand new chapter in one of the most successful film franchises of all time. Bringing together the visually epic and the emotionally powerful, ICE AGE: CONTINENTAL DRIFT sets sail on Blu-ray™ 3D, Blu-ray™, and DVD from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment on December 11, just in time for the holidays.

Sub-zero heroes Manny, Diego, and Sid embark upon a high-seas adventure after their continent is set adrift. Using an iceberg as a ship, they encounter sea creatures and battle pirates as they try to reunite with their herd. In the wake of these upheavals, Sid reunites with his cantankerous Granny, and the herd encounters a ragtag menagerie of seafaring pirates determined to stop them from returning home.

Showcasing the coolest cast of all-time, ICE AGE: CONTINENTAL DRIFT, stars Ray Romano (“Everybody Loves Raymond”), John Leguizamo (Moulin Rouge), Denis Leary (“Rescue Me”), Queen Latifah (The Secret Life of Bees), Seann William Scott (Planet 51), Josh Peck (“Drake & Josh”), and Simon Pegg (Shaun of the Dead). Joining the familiar Ice Age family for this newest franchise installment are some of the entertainment world’s brightest talents including Jennifer Lopez (“American Idol”), Aziz Ansari (“Parks and Recreation”), Peter Dinklage (“Game of Thrones”), Wanda Sykes (Monster-in-Law), Heather Morris (“Glee”), and hip hop sensations Nicki Minaj and Drake.

Overflowing with treasure for the whole family to enjoy, ICE AGE: CONTINENTAL DRIFT 3D is filled to the bow with bonus material including an all new coloring app with enhanced Blu-ray features, interactive features such as “Party with a Pirate!” mode, sing and dance along songs, music videos, deleted scenes, exclusive featurettes, and more! In addition, fans can watch the film in sign along mode with American Sign Language interpretation from actor Sean Berdy (“Switched at Birth”). Prebook is November 14.

Our Review: We received a copy of the new Ice Age: Continental Drift to review for all of you. A few days ago we popped a large bowl of popcorn and sat down to watch this DVD for our family movie night. From the start of the movie until the finish…we were all glued to the TV screen!

Princess Gia (the 3 1/2 year old) LOVED this movie! She loved seeing all of the different characters (hmmm animals) and would laugh and sing during different portions of the movie. The storyline of this movie is really cute and one that both adults & children would enjoy. I even caught my hubby laughing at different parts in the movie too!  Princess Gia’s favorite character is of course Sid and since receiving this movie, she got a new plush Sid doll too!

With the holidays just around the corner, Ice Age – Continental Drift would make a great movie for you to sit down & watch with your family. (or) Pick up a few copies of this DVD and give them as family gifts to the loved ones on your holiday shopping list!

Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure Blu-ray DVD

Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure Blu-ray DVDHow many of you remember the movie Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure? I can remember my husband watching that movie on VHS, over and over and over again…when it first came out! Well guess what? The movie has just been released onto Blu-ray DVD! As soon as I found out about it’s release, I knew I had to have it for my husband.

Movie Synopsis:  Bill (Alex Winter) and Ted (Keanu Reeves) have spent so much time forming their rock band that they’re flunking history. Ted’s dad threatens to send him to military school if he doesn’t pass. Luckily, Rufus (George Carlin), a guardian angel from the future, has a time-traveling phone booth to take them into the past to learn about the world. Their journey through time turns out to be a blast…but will they learn enough to pass their class and keep their rock band together?

The movie is rated PG and has several special features:

* The original Bill & Ted: In Coversation with Chris & Ed
* Air Guitar Tutorial with Bjorn Turoque & The Rockness Monster
* One Sweet & Sour Chinese Adventure to Go
* Radio Spots
* Theatrical Trailer

The subtitles are in English, Spanish & French and the approximate running time is 90 minutes.

Our Thoughts: We sat down last weekend and watched the DVD and let me tell you, it’s better than ever! Having it on blu-ray format really brings it to life. Hubby and I laughed and laughed while watching the movie and it was a great reminder of things past (when we used to go on movie date night to the theater often, back then).

The Blu-ray DVD was released on November 13th, 2012 and would make the perfect holiday gift for anyone on your gift-giving list who loves the classic comedies.
