Movie Night Under the Stars
Now that we’ve hit the midway point of August and summer is seemingly coming to a close, I’ve started to think about all the fun things I’ve got to do and experience with my boys this year. The fun is by no means close to being over, because here in California the heat is just kicking in, right?? We’ve got Indian Summers on the way… But yeah, one of the highlights has been our movie night under the stars.
The event we went to was put on by the Parks and Rec Dept. of the city we live in and they held it in a big field preceded by fun activities for all the kids before sundown and when the movie started. I had been back and forth a little if it was truly feasible for my kids to number one – sit through a movie, two – be manageable in an open field and three – could I carry all the “stuff” in myself. And by stuff I mean blankets, chairs, food, drinks and all the other essential “accessories” that every toddler toting mom keeps withing arms reach at all times.
Well, I am so glad to say that we did it! I packed up a big bag lunch with sandwiches and goodies for all of us, a big blanket and lawn chairs too. Pre-movie they had so many fun activities for the kids, namely a huge parachute for the kids to run around and under, hula hoops and to my surprise, playing tug-o-war with the big kids was one of their favorite things.
When the sun started to go down and they had got some of their energy out, we sat down to our “picnic spot” and ate together before The LEGO Movie took over the big screen. I think it was pretty helpful that my boys had already seen it, so they were familiar and were into it for the first 15 minutes or so….hehe! Yeah, we didn’t last too far into the flick, but that was okay, I noticed we weren’t the only family to make an early exit.
Nonetheless, movie night under the stars was a hit and my kids thought it was so cool to be out at “nighttime,” we had a picnic and they got to play tug-o-war. We’ll be looking forward to the next one.
Muppets Most Wanted: Kermit Interview
Kermit (the Frog) and company have a new movie hitting the big screen this Friday, March 21, 2014 in Disney’s “Muppets Most Wanted.” The film takes the entire Muppets gang on a global tour, selling out grand theaters in some of Europe’s most exciting destinations, including Berlin, Madrid, Dublin and London. But mayhem follows the Muppets overseas, as they find themselves unwittingly entangled in an international crime caper headed by Constantine—the World’s Number One Criminal and a dead ringer for Kermit and his dastardly sidekick Dominic, aka Number Two, portrayed by Ricky Gervais. The film stars Tina Fey as Nadya, a feisty prison guard, and Ty Burrell as Interpol agent Jean Pierre Napoleon. Disney’s “Muppets Most Wanted” is directed by James Bobin and produced by David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman. Bobin wrote the screenplay with Nicholas Stoller, who is also executive producer with John G. Scotti. Featuring music from Academy Award®-winning songwriter Bret McKenzie.
I was lucky enough to interview Kermit when he made a South Florida stop to promote his new movie. I got to sit down with him in a roundtable discussion and here’s some of what we talked about!
First off we asked him about his trip to South Florida…
Kermit: It’s almost like being home, only hotter! I’m from the swap, as you know, and the swamp is sort of more Northern Florida, right up my alley, very moist and damp and mucky and muddy.
And — he was quick to tell us who his favorite Miami HEAT player (of the “Big 3” – Lebron Jame, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh) is…
Kermit: I lean towards Lebron [James] because the way he can hop, he’s got like massively strong froggy legs! Anyone who can leap that far got my vote!
On Entertaining a new generation of children:
Kermit: It’s wonderful to see parents who I might’ve taught their ABC’s and now they’re bringing their kids around.
When it comes to matters of the heart and marrying Miss Piggy, after 35 years of dating:
Kermit: There’s all kinds of issues, not sure it’s legal to marry a pig, how it works for a frog to marry a pig…she’s got it figured out, still unanswered questions on this…
In Muppets Most Wanted he talked about starring alongside Tina Fey:
Kermit: [In the film] I end up in a Russian “gulag,” she is the warden of the prison and we got to know each other very well. We were friends before that, I had done Saturday Night Live when she was there and an episode of 30 Rock. She actually told me I was her favorite scene partner ever!
As for preparing for his “prison” role:
Kermit: I worked with Ray Liotta and Danny Trejo…nicest people in the world, but they can be pretty scary, so it gets you right in the spirit.
Right now Kermit is super busy promoting the film and traveling like crazy, but he has a couple tips that make it easier…
Kermit: Easy to get through TSA with no clothes (Kermit says he’s always in his birthday suit), or ship myself FexEx, guaranteed overnight!
Finally, he does plan to take a “break” after all this excitement…
Kermit: The best part about being in movies for me is I can go home, they say you can’t go home, but in the swamp you can go home…frogs accept you back!
Press play to watch the official trailer for “Muppets Most Wanted.” It truly is a fun film filled with all the action, excitement, music and cuteness you’d expect from the Muppets, entertaining for young and old alike! The Muppets are known for attracting all kinds of celebrities for cameo appearances….and their newest film is packed with lots of them. One thing that I love about Kermit and all the Muppets really is that to me they are “classic,” they were cool enough to entertain some 3+ decades ago and have the staying power to appeal to new audiences now. Kermit hasn’t changed one bit and he is sweet (and humble) as ever! One of my first memories of watching a movie in the theater was to see “The Great Muppet Caper,” and I remember watching “The Muppets Show” religiously as a kid, so it’s great to see them back in action, making people smile.

The LEGO Movie debuts in theaters this coming February 7, and if you’re like me, you have fond memories of your legos..building, creating and playing with them. Well, the building blocks have come a long way and now have their very own feature film.
Here’s the quick synopsis courtesy of IMDB:
An ordinary LEGO minifigure, mistakenly thought to be the extraordinary MasterBuilder, is recruited to join a quest to stop an evil LEGO tyrant from gluing the universe together.
The feature also has an great all-star cast of voices helping bring the characters to life. Morgan Freeman, Will Arnett, Will Ferrell and Elizabeth Banks are some of the big names who are lending their vocal talents to the movie.
