All opinions are mine alone. #Disney #VillainDescendants #CollectiveBias My girls are big into Disney Princesses.  We've seen all the Princess movies, several times.  We all have our favorite Princess, even my husband does!  But why is it the Princesses always get the credit?  Some of the villains have very important roles in the movies.  I mean if it weren't for the villains, there wouldn't really be a story! My favorite Disney fairytale villain is Maleficent.   She was a favorite of mine even before her movie came out.  I think she's a misunderstood villain because all she really wanted was for someone to love...

Disclosure: I received an all expense paid trip to Los Angeles California for the #DescendantsEvent and #AntManEvent Press Junket.  All opinions are my own and were not swayed by any outside sources! When I first heard we'd be interviewing Kenny Ortega, I had no idea who he was so of course, I looked him up!  I was pretty surprised I hadn't heard his name before because I've watched a lot of the shows he's worked on and so have my girls!  This guy has talent and he's worked with some amazing actors and actresses.   He's mostly known for directing movies like High School Musical 1 and 3, Hocus Pocus, Michael Jackson's This is It and if you are in my age group you may remember Xanadu?  Yeah...

ANT-MAN Director Peyton Reed & Producer and President of Marvel Studios Kevin Feige

Disclosure: I received an all expense paid trip to Los Angeles California for the #AntManEvent Press Junket.  All opinions are my own and were not swayed by any outside sources! Last month as the press junket for Ant-Man, we also interviewed Peyton Reed and Kevin Feige.  They walked in together and immediately I got the sense that they were  good friends.  I imagine they probably are at this point after working closely together on Ant-Man.

Hear what Corey Stoll thought about the Yellow Jacket Suit in Ant-Man #AntManEvent

Disclosure: I received an all expense paid trip to Los Angeles California for the #AntManEvent press Junket.  All opinions are my own and were not swayed by any outside sources! Every action movie has to have a bad guy or a villain. It's what makes the plot exciting and what keeps the audience on the edge of their seat.  While this bad guy or villain isn't always the popular guy in town, he's still an important part of the movie.   He also needs to have a good, strong actor behind him, if he wants to be effective.  You'd think that the person who plays the villain drew the short straw.  But that is not the case for Corey Stoll who plays Darren Cross a.k.a. "Yellow Jacket" in Ant-Man.  "I...

Read what Michael Douglas has to say about being in a Marvel movie in this Exclusive Interview #AntManEvent

Disclosure: I received an all expense paid trip to Los Angeles California for the #AntManEvent press Junket.  All opinions are my own and were not swayed by any outside sources! Michael Douglas plays Hank Pym in Marvel's newest movie Ant-Man.   Who is Hank Pym?  Marvel comics first introduced Hank Pym in 1962 in “Tales to Astonish #27”. Pym became Ant-Man after discovering a chemical substance —The Pym Particle — which allowed him to alter his size and possess superhuman strength. With the development of another of Pym’s technologies, Ant-Man also had the ability to control armies of ants. Hank Pym is much older now and needs to pass the Ant-Man suit onto some one else.  He carefully...

Last month, I was invited to Los Angeles for the Ant-Man press junket.  I was excited and honored to be invited to a Marvel event but I was especially excited over the awesome cast of the movie - Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly and Michael Douglas - to name a few!  Way back when I was in my early 20's I saw a movie called Clueless.  Perhaps you've heard of it?  No, seriously I'm sure most of my readers remember this movie and if you were about my age, you certainly remembered the adorable Josh play by Paul Rudd.  I...
