From the makers of global blockbusters; Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, and The Avengers, Marvel is bringing in a new team to town to save the day–the Guardians of the Galaxy. An action-packed, epic space adventure that is sure to marvel audiences everywhere. With stars such as Chris Pratt, Vin Diesel, and Zoe Saldana it was a no brainer to attend the junket and learn more about all the fun and hard work that went into making this film. Disney and Marvel hosted the press junket for Guardians of the Galaxy. Director James Gunn and actors Chris Pratt (Star-Lord), Zoe Saldana (Gamora), Dave Bautista (Drax), Vin Diesel (Groot), Benicio del Toro (The Collector), and Michael Rooker (Yondu), answered our burning questions.

Million Dollar Arm: Dreams, Second Chances, & More.

By Erin

*I attended a media/press junket for the purposes of this post. All thoughts and opinions are my own.*

When I first heard about the movie, Million Dollar Arm, I didn’t know what to think or expect. Another baseball film based on a true story…. ok… Oh!! Jon Hamm is in it? Sure! I’ll go see it! I was pleasantly surprised and blown away by this film. It is not just another sports movie. It is also about relationships, family, second chances, and making dreams come true. Now, come with me to Beverly Hills and let’s see what the stars of the show had to say about Million Dollar Arm. In attendance was Jon Hamm (“JB Bernstein”), Lake Bell (“Brenda Paauwe”), the real JB Bernstein, the real Rinku Singh, Joe Roth (Producer) and Gordon Gray (Producer).

First we chatted with the producers of the film. When discussing about how it is more than just a sports movie Gordon Gray had this to say.

Gordon Gray: I mean for us this is a movie really about JB as a fish out of water going to India with his crazy scheme, leaving a single guy, a bachelor having a fun life and then through the evolution of this development with the players, becoming a surrogate father and ultimately opening up his heart to find love and marriage.

Joe Roth was asked what attracted him to this project.

Joe Roth: Everything attracted me to this project. And I love the second chance stories and I love fish-out-of-water stories and I, I love the idea that I’m sitting in a movie theater and I’m thinking wow if these two guys can accomplish that, I can get up out of here when the lights get on and I can accomplish almost anything.

The Muppets are Here! Muppets Most Wanted

By Erin

It’s here! It’s here! It’s finally here! The new movie, Muppets Most Wanted has finally arrived in theaters today! I had the chance to see a press screening of the movie and here’s what I have to share about this wonderful film.  There’s so much to love about the Muppets, you won’t want to miss this one.

The entire gang is back, heading out on a global tour, selling out grand theaters all throughout Europe. Of course, it doesn’t take long until trouble finds them wrapped up in an international crime caper. Kermit has a doppelgänger, named Constantine, who is the World’s Number One Criminal.

There is so much to love here. There is comedy, a caper, new lovable songs, cool cameos, an awesome cast and a possible muppet wedding!

*The Cameos* 

In the grand fashion of the muppets, the film hosts an array of cameos that will leave you wondering who will pop up on the big screen next. A few you can look forward to seeing are: Usher, Celine Dion, Christoph Waltz, Sean Combs and Salma Hayek.
