On-Set Interview with Elizabeth Banks – What to Expect When You’re Expecting

January 30, 2012 By 2 Comments

By: Ashley

imageWhen I was in Atlanta this September, I stood at the back of a huge convention room filled with hundreds of pregnant women… or were they? Sound crazy? That’s because it was! Thanks to an invite from Lionsgate, I was able to go on set as they filmed a pee your pants HILARIOUS scene from the coming soon movie What to Expect When You’re Expecting (this analogy might be funnier for those during pregnancy or suffering from a post baby bladder!). A few other bloggers and I had the chance to watch one of the stars, Elizabeth Banks, in action before we sat down and talked with her for a bit about her role as a mom both on and off the screen.

In the scene, Elizabeth Banks plays Wendy. This character is a mom who has a dream of what a breeze pregnancy will be since she has so much information and insight into the whole process. Wendy runs a specialty boutique in the heart of Atlanta called The Breast Choice where she is a proud supporter of breastfeeding and all things baby. According to Banks, Wendy, “learns that pregnancy is such a different experience for everyone,” and you really see her journey as “she learns not to judge.” I often write about all of those things I thought I knew before having my own son, so that is a character I think lots of moms can relate to!

Sitting in the hall of the Georgia World Congress Center, surrounded by women with baby bellies (both prosthetic and real), Elizabeth Banks graciously offered a few minutes of her time. I was amazed at how genuine and down to Earth she was (not to mention INCREDIBLY funny). Since Elizabeth had literally JUST finished filming another movie 4 days before she started filming What to Expect she talked about her life as a working mom. She works to spend as much time with her son as possible. She considers herself lucky that he’s able to come to work with her, but said she does like every working mom and does the best she can. In an interview with WhatToExpect.com Banks added that she wants Felix (her son) to know that she is passionate about something.

Among the wit, sarcasm, and off the cuff jokes that Elizabeth shared with us, one of my favorites had to be when she was asked about her favorite “go to” book for parenting advice. She adamantly believes that we “don’t rely enough on common sense!” I really agree with her attitude that things happen and you have to learn as you go.

When I asked Elizabeth what had changed for her since entering mommyhood, her response was one I think we can all relate to. “I am learning so much more about the capacity of joy. I didn’t know it was possibly to have this much joy in (her) life.” Sure we all have our not so great moments, but when it’s all said and done, isn’t that the truth? Our kids do bring us joy!

My experience visiting the set of What to Expect and meeting a Hollywood star was amazing. A big thank you to Lionsgate for inviting me and having us out for such a great adventure. Next stop? May 18 to see What to Expect when it lands in theatres! If Elizabeth Banks is ½ as funny on screen as she is off, you might want to make sure you don’t drink too much soda, if you know what I mean! ;)

 

 

What to Expect When You’re Expecting pops into theaters May 18 just in time for Mother’s Day.

Sneak Peek Inside the Movie: What To Expect When You’re Expecting

January 27, 2012 By 11 Comments

A Visit to the Set of What to Expect When You’re Expecting

By: Ashley

I have been hanging onto this information for so long that I can hardly believe I finally get to share it! I went to Atlanta in September. Why Atlanta, you ask? (As if the title didn’t give it away…) I was in Atlanta so that I could go ON THE SET of the soon to be released, Lionsgate Film, What to Expect When You’re Expecting! It was such an amazing experience and I learned so much about how movies are made, how much work it takes, and got some super sneak peeks into the world of what I’m positive is a laugh out loud funny movie! If you haven’t seen the What to Expect trailer yet, then you should definitely do that.

It’s a movie all about the joy, challenges, fears… and just moments of HILARITY that come with the process of becoming a parent. The movie shows the different paths 5 couples take to parenthood… 5 very different paths for 5 very different couples. Here’s a glimpse at the moms of What to Expect to get you ready.

Skyler (Brooklyn Decker) – The young, gorgeous mom who makes pregnancy look like a beautiful breeze. Also the trophy wife for her much older husband (Dennis Quaid).

FIN01_6263_1Sht_Brooklyn_P03_VF

Jules (Cameron Diaz) – A super busy fitness freak who “works out” a surprise pregnancy.

FIN01_6263_1Sht_Cameron_P05_VF

Wendy (Elizabeth Banks) – An author and baby know it all who discovers every side effect known to carrying a child. FIN01_6263_1Sht_Elizabeth_P04_VF

Holly (Jennifer Lopez) – A mom who can’t wait to meet her baby that she’s adopting from across the world. FIN02_6263_1Sht_JLo_P05_VF

Rosie (Anna Kendrick) – A food truck chef who has one of “those nights” and ends up pregnant.

FIN01_6263_1Sht_Anna_P02_VF

When I was on set, a group of bloggers and I were lucky enough to see the action in progress. (By the way, they really do yell “ACTION” when they start filming a scene.) We watched them film a scene based on Wendy (played by Elizabeth Banks), a baby-crazed author who thought she knew everything there was to know about pregnancy. I was amazed by how many times they shot the same scene over and over! There were tons of extras in the scene and everyone had to stay “in character” while they perfected the scene. What was even more amazing was how each take was so different! Watching Elizabeth Banks make small changes to her posture, her tone, and a little ad-libbing on her lines as she rampages on the dark side of pregnancy was HILARIOUS! I have to say that I honestly laughed at almost every take of the same exact scene!

We were even lucky enough to catch a quick word with the producer of What to Expect When You’re Expecting. He said that when he saw the title of the internationally known book, he just knew it would make a great film. I have to say that I could not agree more! I can’t wait until May 11 when What to Expect When You’re Expecting FINALLY comes to the big screen!

What to Expect When You’re Expecting… THE MOVIE!

December 18, 2011 By 26 Comments

By: Ashley

Do you remember awhile back I went on some secret mission in Atlanta? Well, I can FINALLY tell you what it was for! WTE_07407_CROP.CR2

There is an amazing movie coming out based on the international bestseller with the same title. The cast of What to Expect When You’re Expecting alone will blow you away: Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Lopez, Elizabeth Banks, Chace Crawford, Brooklyn Decker, Anna Kendrick, Matthew Morrison, Dennis Quaid, Chris Rock, Rodrigo Santoro, Ben Falcone and Joe Manganiello. See? Pretty impressive, right? You may wonder how such an information filled text can become a comedy. Well, if you know anything about pregnancy, people, or life in general, the transition is actual pretty natural! The movie follows the lives of several different couples (including reality TV stars, food truck rivals, and an older man with a “trophy wife”) through the trials, challenges, triumphs and smiles that happen as you welcome a child into the world. This star-studded cast makes this film a heartwarming comedy that is universally funny and touching all at the same time. Just watching the trailer (which has recently been released – YAY!) cracks me up!

 

Look for more coming soon to MomStart about What to Expect When You’re Expecting (coming to theatres in 2012).

Lionsgate From Book To Movie, The Hunger Games & One For The Money

September 14, 2011 By 12 Comments

I’ve noticed recently that Lionsgate is into turning books into movies. They transformed The Hunger Games from book to movie with the first one coming out March 23, 2012.  The Hunger Games is a very popular series by Suzanne Collins and is remarkably amazing. I read the first book in one week and book two and three took me a weekend. I can’t wait until this hits theaters. Check out this Hunger Games movie trailer.

 

And they’re turning Janet Evonovich’s books into a movie, One For The Money. I love these books, they’re the kind of books that once you start reading them you just can’t put them down. I’ve read at least seven of them, and then stopped for some reason. I’m going to have to pick them back up and start over in anticipation of the movie. I remember six or seven years ago when I started reading them, there was talk about a possible movie even then. It’s nice to see it finally come to fruition. It’s hard to find too many ACTUAL movie details on-line, I just googled it, but I do have a movie synopsis for you here.

Katherine Heigl brings Stephanie Plum – the popular heroine of Janet Evanovich’s worldwide best-selling sixteen-book mystery series – to vibrant life in Lionsgate and Lakeshore Entertainment’s ONE FOR THE MONEY.

ONE_1Sht_27x40_V16_RGBA proud, born-and-bred Jersey girl, Stephanie Plum’s got plenty of attitude, even if she’s been out of work for the last six months and just lost her car to a debt collector.  Desperate for some fast cash, Stephanie turns to her last resort: convincing her sleazy cousin to give her a job at his bail bonding company…as a recovery agent.  True, she doesn’t even own a pair of handcuffs and her weapon of choice is pepper spray, but that doesn’t stop Stephanie from taking on Vinny’s biggest bail-jumper: former vice cop and murder suspect Joe Morelli – yup, the same sexy, irresistible Joe Morelli who seduced and dumped her back in high school.

Nabbing Morelli would be satisfying payback – and a hefty payday – but as Stephanie learns the ins and outs of becoming a recovery agent from Ranger, a hunky colleague who’s the best in the business, she also realizes the case against Morelli isn’t airtight. Add to the mix her meddling family, a potentially homicidal boxer, witnesses who keep dying and the problem of all those flying sparks when she finds Morelli himself…well, suddenly Stephanie’s new job isn’t nearly as easy as she thought.

Starring Katherine Heigl, ONE FOR THE MONEY is a fresh, funny action-comedy directed by Julie Anne Robinson and also starring Jason O’Mara, Daniel Sunjata, John Leguiziamo, Debbie Reynolds and Debra Monk.  Lionsgate and Lakeshore Entertainment present a Lakeshore Entertainment Lionsgate Wendy Finerman production in association with Sidney Kimmel Entertainment Abishag Productions. Directed by Julie Anne Robinson.  Screenplay by Stacy Sherman & Karen Ray and Liz Brixius.  Based on the novel by Janet Evanovich.

I’ve also read rumors on-line about Lionsgate bringing What To Expect When Your Expecting to life in the theaters possibly in 2012. It’s being kept tightly under wraps right now.

For My Sister Lindsey The Last Unicorn is on Blu-ray Happy Dance Vlog!

February 16, 2011 By 8 Comments

imageI had to write about this because this is my sisters favorite childhood movie. I had a love of Rainbow Bright, I had to have the movie and I had to have all of my toys back when I became an adult. Sad but true!

My sister had to find a copy of this movie on DVD (and I saw that she has it in her collection) and now that it’s on Blu-ray I bet she’s going to do everything she can to get her hands on a copy of it. That’s right, my sister pictured on the left with my daughter two years ago loves The Last Unicorn.

So I dedicate this video to her:

The Last Unicorn originally came out in 1982 which means she wasn’t even born when it first came out. So I’m really not sure when she fell in love with it, but there is something magical to us girls about unicorns, Mia Farrow and Angela Lansburry. Lionsgate Home Entertainment digitally remastered The Last Unicorn in 1080P high definition widescreen featuring the voice talents of Jeff Bridges (TRON: Legacy), Mia Farrow (The Purple Rose of Cairo), Angela Lansbury (Nanny McPhee) and Rene Auberjonois (The Little Mermaid). You may wonder what the movie is about, I bet I have readers that are too young to remember this movie at all. Oiy!

So you get the idea there is the last unicorn right, well this unicorn seeks out others like herself through a mystical land of talking cats and magicians. I her search for other unicorns, she encounters adventure and dangers that she never imagined possible. Throughout her journey she learns of friendship, love and something about herself which is a lesson we all need sometimes. I’m sure the musical composition along with the animation is part of what captured my sister’s imagination as a child. Hey, I have Rainbow bright so I can’t begrudge her The Last Unicorn right?

Alpha and Omega Support Defenders of Wildlife Giveaway

January 22, 2011 By 439 Comments

AO_DVD_ocard_F1.inddMy little Zoe often talks about our recent excursion to The Great Wolf Lodge, She calls it the Great Woof Wolf lodge, it’s an awesome pronunciation and I think they should change their name. Winking smile Because of our visits their we’ve been talking about wolves, how they live and the sounds they make. So when we received a copy of Alpha and Omega from Lionsgate they were excited to see it.

The movie starts off with Kate and Humphrey playing together and having a great time. Then Kate has to go to Alpha school where she will learn how to lead the pack. When they are reunited she tries very hard to stay away from Humphrey because Alphas and Omegas are not allowed to interact. Humphrey just will not have that, so he works very hard to see her and in one of his attempts the two of them are whisked on a journey that changes their lives and the packs lives.

Full Synopsis:

Come along on the ultimate road-trip adventure that will leave the whole family howling with laughter! When Kate, a take-charge “Alpha” wolf, and Humphrey, a laid back “Omega” wolf get snatched by park rangers and relocated halfway across the country, the two must set off on an incredible journey home. With the help of a goofy golfing goose and his quickie duck caddy, Kate and Humphrey won’t let anything stop them – prickly porcupines, grumpy bears, even a speeding locomotive – from getting back to Jasper Park in time to help save their pack from rival wolves. And along the way, Kate and Humphrey learn that even though they are complete opposites, they make a pretty good team! It’s a thousand miles of fun in this wildly entertaining journey the whole pack can enjoy together.Adopt a wolf package

LeapFrog DVD’s The Amazing Alphabet Amusement Park and LeapFrog: Numbers Ahoy Giveaway

January 20, 2011 By 333 Comments

LF_AAAP_ocard1.inddI probably let my kids watch way too much TV. I grew up watching TV and so do they. But, we only watch DVD’s which allows me to have a huge amount of control over what they watch. One of my favorites out of all the DVD’s we have are from LeapFrog, so I get quite excited when they launch new DVD’s, games or video games. Earlier last week, two new DVD’s arrived on my doorstep courtesy of Lionsgate: LeapFrog: The Amazing Alphabet Amusement Park and LeapFrog: Numbers Ahoy. LeapFrog: The Amazing Alphabet Amusement Park and LeapFrog: Numbers Ahoy were released on January 18, 2011, for the suggested retail price of $14.98 each.  Both titles are also be available on Digital Download.

My kids really do learn from these DVD’s that LeapFrog puts out.

In The Amazing Alphabet Amusement Park the kids were singing little a, big a, little b big b. The other day, I put this on for Miles while Zoe was in preschool and he started singing and he looked at me and said, “Come on, sing with me”.

“Mom, sing!”

So, of course I had to sing with him!

LeapFrog Numbers Ahoy_BoxArtThe Amazing Alphabet Amusement Park (Ages 3-6): When their firefly friend, Edison, takes Tad, Lily and Scout to the place of his childhood dreams, the gang is shocked to discover that Alistair Alphabelly’s Amazing Amusement Park is… closed! To make matters worse, Edison has gotten himself stuck atop the Fantastical Ferris Wheel. The only way to save him is to turn on the rides in the park with the magic of the alphabet. Now the children must learn all of the letters, big and small, to save their friend, save the day and perhaps even meet the rhyme master himself, Alistair Alphabelly!

I actually didn’t watch this one, and Zoe kept saying: there is a bad guy on this one, but he’s not too scary, and I kept telling her she was wrong, then finally I realized he was a bad guy because he captured Scout, but he wasn’t too scary, just like Zoe said!

LeapFrog: Numbers Ahoy SYNOPSIS
Numbers Ahoy (Ages 3-6): Tad and Lily need a little number sense to help them get through a complicated game. So their magical firefly friend, Edison, takes them on a fantastical journey under the sea! When a pirate mistakenly captures their cute puppy pal Scout, they must use their new understanding of counting, grouping and estimating to rescue him. Join them as they navigate the deep and face foes such as sharks, crab henchmen—even Pirate Pythagoras himself—and begin to see numbers in a whole new way!

ALPHA & OMEGA in Theaters Friday September 17th Movie Giveaway

September 13, 2010 By 236 Comments

clip_image001We were invited to a pre-screening of the movie ALPHA & OMEGA this past weekend and were unable to attend because the kiddos were sick. I have been watching the previews and trailers on-line and in the theater for Alpha & Omega and it looks pretty cute. Alpha & Omega will be viewable in the very popular 3-D atmosphere if that’s something you are interested in but it will also be available on a normal screen too. We love movies with talking animals. The kids just enjoy it a great deal. I wish we would have been able to watch it, I guess we’ll just have to go when everyone is feeling better, or watch it when it comes out on DVD.

Trailer:

SYNOPSIS:

clip_image001[4]What makes for the ultimate road trip? Hitchhiking, truck stops, angry bears, prickly porcupines and a golfing goose with a duck caddy. Just ask Kate and Humphrey, two wolves who are trying to get home after being taken by park rangers and shipped halfway across the country. Humphrey is an Omega wolf, whose days are about quick wit, snappy one-liners and hanging with his motley crew of fun-loving wolves and video-gaming squirrels. Kate is an Alpha: duty, discipline and sleek Lara Croft eye-popping moves fuel her fire. Humphrey’s motto – make ‘em laugh. Kate’s motto – I’m the boss. And they have a thousand miles to go.

alpha Back home rival wolf packs are on the march and conflict is brewing. Only Kate and Humphrey can restore the peace. But first, they have to survive each other.

In Theaters Nationwide on Friday, September 17th

Starring Justin Long, Hayden Panettiere, Dennis Hopper, Danny Glover and Christina Ricci
