A brand new rendition of Freaky Friday was released Sept 25, and this time it’s a Musical. While there are several different versions of Freaky Friday out there, the creators of this newest form decided to go vastly different and create it with a cast that can sing. With the popularity of musicals, why not.

Those who know the theme of Freaky Friday know that it usually features a mom and a daughter who are unable to get along and can’t see life from the other’s perspective. Some magical wooshing happens and they eventually switch places. Thus the movie follows their lives as each discovers that their mother/daughter’s life may not be as easy as originally thought.

While this is a classic comedy, it is fun to watch with the girls and sing along to the songs. In fact, Thanks to Disney, My Sister and nieces made a day of it by having an awesome spa day and watching Freaky Friday. What a great way to spend time with the girls!

To pull off this fantastic mother/daughter spa day you will need:

Be sure the tote bag will hold all the spa day items so that everything is in one place and can be grabbed at a moments notice. There is no need to have a stressful search for something that is supposed to inspire relaxation.

Now that you have a bag of holdings and all the items are inside it is time for that much anticipated spa day.

Have a relaxing bath with some fun bath bomb bombs, use a face mask to exfoliate, make those nails shine, and keep those lips glowing. Then you and your daughter(s) sit down and watch Freaky Friday. Trust me when I say, the daughters will love the pampering as much as you do. 🙂 I mean just look at my happy nieces.

Once the Expanded Universe became Legend, many questions faced us Star Wars Fans: What incident caused the Millennium Falcon to look like a hand flying through space? How did Han meet Chewbacca and is the Life Debt still in play? What is so special about the Kessel Run? Thankfully Solo: A Star Wars Story actually highlights many of the questions about our beloved fandom. Today, Solo: A Star Wars Story is released digitally, and it will be released on DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K Ultra HD September 25.

FYI, there will be SPOILERS below, so don’t read if you have been holding out for months waiting to see the film.

As a die-hard fan for all things Star Wars…Yes even the pre-trilogy… I couldn’t wait to see the new Solo movie. I wanted to see where Han Solo came from, how he met Chewbacca, and just what choices led him into deep water. Solo: A Star Wars Story did not disappoint.

The movie starts with Han on Corellia, stealing in order to survive. It isn’t long before he and Qi’ra plan an escape, which goes completely wrong. No surprise there, we are talking about Han after all. This theme of failed attempts at escaping flows well into the original trilogy with Han. Word of advice…Never follow Han in an escape plan. It a;ways winds up with the Empire and a certain amount of pain. Or ending up down a space slug’s throat. Han certainly never has a dull moment.

Han and Qi’ra attempting to escape Corellia

Of course the connection to the original trilogy doesn’t end there. Once Han swears to come back and save Qi’ra, He goes on a massive introduction to the original trilogy adventure. We find Han becoming an imperial officer, finding Chewie, joining a band of galactic smugglers, meeting Lando, falling in love with the Millennium Falcon, and even making the Kessel run. To top it off, we even have a surprise guest at the end.

Making the Kessel Run

I enjoyed the movie Solo: A Star Wars Story immensely. It brought back so many feeling of my childhood when I first sat down and watched A New Hope. I found myself Laughing, crying, and totally immersed in the Star Wars Universe. Solo truly feels like a Star Wars story and it belongs in the movie lineup to be watched right before the Original Trilogy begins. Who could ask for more when it comes to Star Wars? I give it a well deserved 5 stars!

Actually, I know exactly what us fans can ask for…how about some hilarious concept art. I think Chewbacca may need a hair cut in some of these. hahaha

BURBANK, Calif. (Sept. 6, 2018) — It’s not a stretch to say audiences have missed their favorite family of Supers over the past 14 years. Disney•Pixar’s “Incredibles 2,” the sequel to 2004’s beloved Oscar-winning “The Incredibles,” received a mega-strong reaction from critics and audiences — earning a 93 percent critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes, rocketing atop the list of highest-grossing animated films, and surpassing $1 billion at the global box office. Fans can reunite with this incredible family of Supers instantly on Digital in HD and 4K Ultra HD and on Movies Anywhere on Oct. 23, and on Blu-ray 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, DVD and On-Demand on Nov. 6.

Family members of all ages will be hypnotized by hours of delightful entertainment, with never-before-seen “Incredibles 2” bonus material highlighting the beloved characters in the film and the filmmakers who bring them to life. When audiences instantly bring home the film two weeks early on Digital, they will receive additional exclusive featurettes, including two SuperScene Breakdowns and Samuel L. Jackson discussing his character Frozone a.k.a. “The Coolest Guy in Show Business.” Overall bonus includes an all-new mini-movie “Auntie Edna,” which gives a glimpse of fashion visionary Edna Mode’s all-night endeavor to design a suit to best harness baby Jack-Jack’s expanding super powers. Also included are an inside look at the impressive production team at Pixar Animation Studios; documentaries highlighting the film’s relatable characters and stand-out scenes; 10 never-before-revealed scenes; filmmaker commentary; the touching theatrical short “Bao” and a corresponding featurette about how the dumplings sprung to life; and much, much more.

“Incredibles 2” is packaged and released in several different ways, offering families the flexibility to watch the movie instantly and on a variety of devices of their choosing, including Digital 4K Ultra HD, HD and SD and physically as a 4K Ultra HD Combo Pack (4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and Digital Copy), a Multi-Screen Edition (Blu-ray, DVD and Digital Copy) and a single DVD.

In “Incredibles 2,” Helen (voice of Holly Hunter) is called on to lead a campaign to bring Supers back, while Bob (voice of Craig T. Nelson) navigates the day-to-day heroics of “normal” life at home with Violet (voice of Sarah Vowell), Dash (voice of Huck Milner) and baby Jack-Jack—whose super powers are about to be discovered. Their mission is derailed, however, when a new villain emerges with a brilliant and dangerous plot that threatens everything. But the Parrs don’t shy away from a challenge, especially with Frozone (voice of Samuel L. Jackson) by their side. That’s what makes this family so Incredible.
