Entourage The Movie – Review

07/10/2015 By All Mum Said Leave a Comment

Entourage The Movie

I will admit, I never watched Entourage when it was on TV. For some reason it never appealed to me. That and the fact I never really knew what the show was about, beyond some famous guy and his entourage.

So when I put the Entourage The Movie into the DVD player, I didn’t really know what to expect. I had no idea whether I would even know what was going on as I had never seen the series. I must say, I was pleasantly surprised.

The star packed cast creates a comedy that has been highly anticipated, especially after the success of the TV series. Reuniting the show’s original cast and introducing some extra Hollywood favourites, Entourage is back in action!

As years have passed, so have their ambitions for life but this doesn’t make them any less exciting. Vincent Chase (Adrian Grenier) amicably ends his marriage after 9 days and believes that he rushed into it because he is looking for something more meaningful in life. This is when he realises he wants to not only act but also produce his next film. Not thrilled on the idea, his super agent-turned-studio head, Ari Gold (Jeremy Piven) reluctantly agrees. The team goes over their $100 million budget which forces them to navigate the cut throat world of Hollywood.

With a sex tape, pro fighter, failing career, baby daddy’s, billionaire rednecks and of course the making of this film; the long-time friends have adventures galore.

I can honestly say I really enjoyed this movie! What I was expecting and what I watched was two completely different things. The movie makes me want to bulk watch the TV series!

Cast includes: Kevin Connolly, Adrian Grenier, Kevin Dillon, Jerry Ferrara, Jeremy Piven, Haley Joel Osment, Ronda Rousey, Emily Ratajkowski, Billy Bob Thornton, Piers Morgan, Jon Favreau, Pharrell Williams, Liam Neeson, Kelsey Grammer, Mark Wahlberg, David Spade, Jessica Alba and many more!

Released: 16 September 2015 * Rated: MA

Sex & Secrets – The Little Death + DVD Giveaway

31/01/2015 By All Mum Said 58 Comments

The Little Death. The impression I get from the name of this movie is so far from what it actually is. The Little Death is not actually about death at all; it is moment the French call ‘la petite mort’ or better known as an orgasm. Yep that’s right orgasm. This Australian comedy about relationships, sex, love and everything taboo will have you in stitches from laughter. If you enjoyed Love My Way and Offspring then you are going to love The Little Death.

Orgasms and fantasies are not often talked about out in the open but The Little Death has you wanting to know more. The taboo topics are laid out for the world to see and what we see, we love. From the first 5 seconds of this movie I was hooked, it doesn’t tip toe around issues and confronts them head on. This laugh out loud comedy looks at the sex lives of 5 ordinary couples living in suburbia and you will be shocked, surprised and moved by their relationships. While it is humorous, it also has a sense of realism. These five couples could be your neighbours, brother, co-workers or even yourself.

Foot fetishes are only the beginning of these sexual pleasures. When a dangerous fantasy is shared by Maeve, her partner Paul struggles to make it a reality for her. Another woman Rowena can only find complete sexual pleasure when her husband Richard is in pain. Phil has an affair with his own wife Maureen without her even knowing! Monika the call centre operator for the deaf gets caught in the middle of a dirty sex chat call while Dan and Evie try to reignite their spark through role play. And it wouldn’t be complete without the attention diverting new neighbour who connects them all.

With an incredible cast you will see some familiar faces: Josh Lawson (Anchorman 2, House of Lies, Any questions for Ben?), Bojana Novakovic (Rake, Charlie’s Country, Satisfaction), Damon Herriman (The Water Diviner, Candy), Lisa McCune (Blue Heelers, Sea Patrol), Patrick Brammall (Offspring, The Moodys), Kim Gyngell (Full Frontal, The Librarians) and Lachy Hulme (Offspring, Howzat!, The Hollowmen).

The Little Death is available on DVD and Blu-Ray from 23^rd January at JB Hi-Fi and can also be purchased here from JB Hi-Fi Online. If iTunes is your preferred option you can rent or own The Little Death by downloading it from here.

To stay up to date with new movies check out Entertainment One on Facebook and Twitter.

The little Death explores why do we want what we want? How far will we go to get it? What are the consequences of that fleeting moment of erotic ecstasy? It is an absolute must see movie for men and women everywhere. This adults only quirky comedy is full of dry humour, fleeting sexual moments and clever exchanges between characters.

Disney fairies turned pirates + GIVEAWAY

04/07/2014 By All Mum Said 90 Comments

We’ve all seen the adverts for the new movie Tinker Bell and the Pirate Fairy and it looks great. I love seeing transformations like this happen. The pretty little Disney fairies that flutter around being all girly and petite get to experience the more boy related journeys and get dirty. Not to mention as a mother of boys and girls it makes for a nice that they can all enjoy the same movie. Haven’t heard about the movie? Well here is the run down. When a misunderstood dust-keeper fairy named Zarina steals Pixie Hollow’s all-important Blue Pixie Dust, and flies away to join forces with the pirates of Skull Rock, Tinker Bell and her fairy friends must embark on the adventure of a lifetime to return it to its rightful place. However, in the midst of their pursuit of Zarina, Tink’s world is turned upside down. She and her friends find that their respective talents have been switched and they have to race against time to retrieve the Blue Pixie Dust and return home to save Pixie Hollow. While the movie may interest everyone the gorgeous fully poseable 9 inch fairy pirate dolls I’m about to show you are obviously more centred around girl interests.

As many of you know I have 2 boys and a girl. The girl being only 1. This means we have only begun to experience the girly toys; dolls, fairies, princesses, etc but Little Miss is discovering what she likes already. She absolutely loves her pirate fairy, she has Tinker Bell and while she isn’t quite old enough to understand that she can pose their bodies she does adore the beautiful shimmer fashion and sparkly wings. *Just quietly, I’m loving her boots!* Rocking their new pirate looks are: Tinker Bell, Rosetta, Periwinkle and the new misunderstood dust-keeper Zarina. Available from Big W, Target & Toys R Us for $20.99 ea.

**************

Does your daughter love fairies? Maybe pirates? Maybe you have seen the movie already? Well have got a giveaway for you.

Enter below to win: 1 of 2 gorgeous Disney Fairy prize packs. Total prize pool: $83.96

Each Prize includes: 1x Disney Fairies Pirate Fairies fashion doll, assorted character, RRP $20.99ea and 1x Disney Fairies Celebrations fashion doll, assorted character, RRP $20.99ea.

I am a self confessed movie buff – everything from horror, action, comedy, romance (or otherwise known as chic flicks), drama to family and kids films. Let’s just face it they are as much for us as they are for the kids these days.

I have been watching on repeat for the past 2 weeks now a movie that will hit the shelves on September 26^th2012. I was fortunate enough to be asked to review Big Miracle and thanks to Universal Sony Pictures I have x5 to giveaway as well. This movie has an amazing cast – Drew Barrymore, John Krasinski, Kristen Bell, Ted Danson, Dermot Mulroney and Vanessa Shaw.

Now more about the movie itself! It is a heart warming story about how the rescue attempt of a family of gray whales that get trapped in the Alaskan ice and how it united the world, different cultures, countries and people. This drama is based on an incredible true story that moved millions around the world. It involves everyone from reporters/journalists, green peace, natives, Russians, Americans and the oil companies. There are quite a few very touching scenes in this movie that are so passionate and sweet, yet sad. I loved this movie from start to finish and recommend it to all families. It is PG rated so the whole family can enjoy the amazing rescue adventure film of the year ~ Big Miracle!
