When I first shared with you all that I would be heading to L.A. for some Disney/DreamWorks/Marvel fun, I didn’t really know how the trip could get any more amazing.  We were going to be catching a sneak peek of the upcoming DreamWorks movie Delivery Man, and then after we were going to be interviewing Vince Vaughn and Chris Pratt, two of the cast members.  I’m not really a star-struck type of person, but I’m pretty sure we’ve seen every Vince Vaughn movie ever made, so I was excited to know I was going to get to meet him face-to-face.

Delivery Man L.A. Premiere

A few days ago, though, we found that there would be a slight change to our itinerary.  The L.A. premiere of Delivery Man was being moved up and we were going to attend that, also!  Yep, now we’re walking two red carpets.  Fortunately I had picked up two dresses so I could choose my favorite.  Now I’ll get to wear both!

I can’t believe there are just two more days before I head to L.A. for the Thor: The Dark World red carpet premiere.  (As I write that, the lyrics, “Lea-ving, on a jet plane” popped into my head and will likely be there for hours.)  There’s some fun new Thor: The Dark World information I want to share with you before I get lost in packing, though.

Thor: The Dark World London Premiere

Thor: The Dark World recently had it’s London Premiere.  These two photos from that event will give you an idea of what we can expect to see at the L.A. Premiere!  Doesn’t Tom Hiddleston (who plays Loki and whom we will be interviewing) seem like such an awesome guy?

ARTHUR

I received a copy of Alpha and Omega 2: A Howl-iday Adventure in order to facilitate my review.  No additional compensation was received and all words and thoughts are my own.

The Alpha and Omega series is expanding just in time for the holidays.  Alpha and Omega 2: A Howl-iday Adventure continues the adventures of Kate and Humphrey, who now have three pups of their own: Stinky, Claudette, and Runt.  Snow is just about to fall and Christmas is coming, and all the wolves are getting ready to celebrate winter together.

Unfortunately, some rogue wolves, intent on taking down Kate and Humphrey’s pack, wander into the area.  They cause a distraction and make off with Runt, the smallest of the cubs.  Now they must journey across the wilderness to find and rescue Runt before the winter snow blocks their way home.

Thank you to Disney for providing us with a copy of Phineas and Ferb Mission Marvel in order to facilitate my review.  All words and opinions are 100% my own.

When you take two separate things and combine them together, it can either be really good or really bad.  Oil and water, they don’t mix so well.  A twist cone of soft serve vanilla and chocolate, those combine pretty well.  And when you take Phineas and Ferb and add in the Marvel Universe, well, that’s just good times.

Phineas and Ferb Mission Marvel DVD #Review #Disney #Marvel

And that’s exactly what has happened in the new DVD Phineas and Ferb Mission Marvel.  Some of the Marvel super heroes suddenly find themselves without their powers, and after calculating the source of the beam that hit them, they find the source to be Danville.  Apparently Dr. Doofenshmirtz’s latest scheme has had an unintended consequence and Spider-Man, Iron Man, Thor, and Hulk find themselves teaming up with Phineas and Ferb to try and get their powers back.
