		<description><![CDATA[“Treasure Buddies” is another fun-filled adventure. ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="size-medium wp-image-5587 alignleft" title="Artwork" src="http://www.joreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Artwork1-253x300.jpg" alt="Artwork" width="253" height="300" />The Buddies are back for a new adventure. This adventure centers around Mudbud and his owner Pete Howard (Mason Cook). Pete is suppose to be going on a camping trip with his grandpa Thomas (Richard Riehle), but when an amazing archeologist mystery can be solved he decides to travel to Egypt. Taking his grandson along for the amazing discovery.</p>
<p>Upon arriving in Egypt they are in a search to find Cleopatra&#8217;s tomb. Pete and his grandfather are unaware that they are being misguided and the treasure is in danger from Philip Wellington (Edward Hermann). Not only is Pete and his grandfather in danger, but so are all the buddies. Wellington&#8217;s evil cat is on a mission to find Cleopatra&#8217;s tomb as well. Once discovering the tomb she is hoping to find the magical necklace that she will use to make cats rulers of the world.</p>
<p>When Mudbud discovers her plot to take over he calls on his brothers and sister to head to Egypt and save the day. All the buddies hitch a ride and make new friends along the way. Babi a local pick pocket monkey helps the buddies find Pete. Half way into the mission they meet another friend Cammy, a baby camel who is looking to be reunited with her family. Since it seems the buddies and Cammy are all heading the same direction they trek on an adventure in the desert to find their loved ones.</p>
<p>With many dangers along the way the buddies will be there to save the day. “Treasure Buddies” is another fun-filled adventure. This latest installment will be for the older kids, especially with the dialogue used. The visual effects lacked quite a bit and made it hard to watch at times. Fans of the buddies will enjoy “Treasure Buddies”, but might find it missing the magic the others have. Look for it to be released on DVD Tuesday, January 31st. Bonus features include a tour of B-Dawg&#8217;s crib and an all new music video.</p>

<p><strong>Synopsis</strong>: A classic love story unfolds in the best Disney tradition as a lovely young pedigreed cocker spaniel named lady, who lives a pampered life, finds herself falling romantically for Tramp, an amorous street-smart pooch without prospects.  Although they have fun together on several dates, including a sentimental spaghetti dinner by moonlight at Tony’s restaurant, their relationship is strained not only by Lady’s loyalty to her human family and their newborn baby, but by Tramp’s devil-may-care attitude that eventually gets Lady in trouble and tossed into the dog pound.  However, good-hearted Tramp redeems himself by saving the baby from potential harm and thus wins Lady’s love and the affection of her human family.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[For the holidays it does come packaged very well and kids will love the idea of living in the backyard of a zoo, but for some adults it misses the mark.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="size-medium wp-image-5510 alignleft" title="we-bought-a-zoo-movie-poster" src="http://www.joreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/we-bought-a-zoo-movie-poster-201x300.jpg" alt="we-bought-a-zoo-movie-poster" width="201" height="300" />Matt Damon has become quite the family man in “We Bought a Zoo”. Benjamin Mee (Damon) is recently widowed and seems to be struggling in his new role as a single parent. It seems Benjamin use to be the man of adventure and his life has been forever changed. As he is having troubles adjusting so are his kids. His young daughter seems to be growing up before her time and doing what she can to help him out. Meanwhile his son is having troubles in school and winds up being expelled.</p>
<p>Looking for change that will be best for the family he makes an insane choice to move his family away from the city and onto a zoo reservation. The house sits on the reservation and after seeing his daughter’s reaction to the zoo he knows that this may be the best investment for his family’s future. Not knowing much about zoo upkeep and the animal’s well being he is taught a lot fairly quickly from the zookeepers. Kelly Foster (Scarlett Johansson) is the head of the zookeepers and has some frank advice for the dad in his latest adventure.</p>
<p>Kelly is sure to let Benjamin know his journey could turn into a disaster and they all depend on his dedication for the zoo and its staff to survive. There are a lot of heartwarming moments in this film, <img class="size-medium wp-image-5509 alignright" title="618w_we_bought_a_zoo_1" src="http://www.joreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/618w_we_bought_a_zoo_1-300x199.jpg" alt="618w_we_bought_a_zoo_1" width="270" height="179" />but it crosses the line between realistic and ridiculous.</p>
<p>Benjamin’s choice to improve a situation at home does not make sense. I find it hard to understand how buying a zoo will better their lives. If anything that type of investment would hinder one’s ability to do that. “We Bought a Zoo” makes an attempt to be enjoyable, but has a few flaws that are hard to look past. The one delight you will get from this film is the adorable Maggie Elizabeth Jones (Rosie Mee) who captures the audience with her adorable charm. For the holidays it does come packaged very well and kids will love the idea of living in the backyard of a zoo, but for some adults it misses the mark.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="size-medium wp-image-5502 alignleft" title="PL" src="http://www.joreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/PL-210x300.jpg" alt="PL" width="210" height="300" />The time to be festive is here and holiday movies are the perfect way to get in the spirit of things. “Prep &amp; Landing” is an event the whole family can enjoy. Now out on DVD gather the kiddos around and enjoy a quiet evening at home. This short story is an adorable animated comedy. Wayne is an elf with the prep and landing crew and has been putting in many years of work and is very excited for what he thinks will be a promotion offered to him.</p>
<p>Disappointment quickly sets in when Wayne learns his partner received his promotion and he has gained a new rookie partner Lanny. Lanny is eager and filled with holiday cheer. Wayne has become a bit of a scrooge and has forgotten the importance of being on the prep landing crew. When Christmas is almost ruined for a child Wayne takes responsibility and suits up to make the impossible possible.</p>
<p>Wayne with the help of Lanny will save Christmas for one little boy and be reminded of what the holiday is all about. “Prep &amp; Landing” is a special film that can be enjoyed by the entire family. The gadgets these elves have are so hi-tech and make the film very fun to enjoy. The whole prep and landing crew will fill children with the spirit of Christmas and answer all those questions about how Santa delivers all those gifts on Christmas day. “Prep &amp; Landing” is available on DVD now and is loaded with extras. Be sure to get your stocking stuffer and make a little one’s holiday a little brighter!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[If you are looking for a family fun holiday weekend then “Happy Feet Two” is for you.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.joreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Happy_Feet_Two_Poster.bmp"><img class="size-full wp-image-5442 alignleft" title="Happy_Feet_Two_Poster" src="http://www.joreviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Happy_Feet_Two_Poster.bmp" alt="Happy_Feet_Two_Poster" width="292" height="432" /></a>It&#8217;s time to get the Happy Feet gang together again. In “Happy Feet Two” Mumble&#8217;s (Elijah Wood) son Erik (Ave Acres) is discovering who he is in the Penguin world. His struggle with his identity will need a quick resolution when his family and friends face a new threat.</p>
<p>Opening up with a gang of penguins singing and dancing it does not seem there is much of a threat coming. That is until an avalanche leaves much of the penguin population trapped without food or means of escaping.</p>
<p>Erik is scared for his mother Gloria (Pink) who is on of the trapped. With the help of his father Erik will prove to have the courage to save his friends and family. Gathering together other penguin nations including the Mighty Sven (Hank Azaria), the only penguin who can fly they will bring hope to those trapped. Setting up an assembly line of fish for those trapped to ensure all are being fed.</p>
<p>When things don&#8217;t look promising for an escape the penguins must think outside the box to find an escape and new home. With the help of a few new friends they will dance their happy feet away to a new life. “Happy Feet Two” was an adorable family film. It is in 3D and offers a few moments of great effects, but the bubbles you can pop at the ending credits were by far the best.</p>
<p>The storyline lacked the comedy and charm the original had. More suitable for the older kids this film can be enjoyed but won&#8217;t be the one that will wear out on your DVD player at home. If you are looking for a family fun holiday weekend then “Happy Feet Two” is for you.</p>
