More about the movie:

 For the Tibetan Mastiffs living on Snow Mountain, a dog’s life has a simple riff: Guard a peaceful village of wool-making sheep from the thuggish wolf Linnux (Lewis Black) and his rabid pack. To avoid distractions, Mastiff leader Khampa (J.K. Simmons) forbids all music from the mountain. But when Khampa’s son Bodi (Luke Wilson) discovers a radio dropped by a passing airplane, it takes just a few guitar licks for his fate to be sealed: Bodi wants to be a rock ‘n’ roll star. Yet that means defying his father’s wishes, heading to the city, and locating the legendary – and reclusive – musician Angus Scattergood (Eddie Izzard), who needs to write a new song and fast. If Bodi can put a band together, help Angus with his song, and defeat the wolves’ plot to take Snow Mountain, his life will be in tune. Bodi will become what he’s always dreamed of being: More than a dog … more than a Rock God… he’ll be a ROCK DOG!

In the irreverent spirit of fun that made “The LEGO® Movie” a worldwide phenomenon, the self-described leading man of that ensemble – LEGO Batman (Will Arnett) – stars in his own big-screen adventure. But there are big changes brewing in Gotham, and if he wants to save the city from The Joker’s (Zach Galifianakis) hostile takeover, Batman may have to drop the lone vigilante thing, try to work with others and maybe, just maybe, learn to lighten up.

Here is more information about the film:

From the creators of Shrek comes DreamWorks Animation's Trolls, a smart, funny, and irreverent comedy about the search for happiness, and just how far some will go to get it. This hilarious film transports audiences to a colorful, wondrous world populated by the overly optimistic Trolls, with a constant dance in their step and a song on their lips, and the comically pessimistic Bergens, who are only happy when they have trolls in their stomachs.  

After the Bergens invade Troll Village, Poppy (Kendrick), the happiest Troll ever born, and the overly-cautious curmudgeonly Branch (Timberlake) set off on a journey to rescue her friends. Together, this mismatched duo embark on a rescue mission full of adventure and mishaps - trying to tolerate each other long enough to get the job done. 

Utilizing music to further the film's narrative, the Trolls soundtrack is produced by Justin Timberlake and features five original songs including songs by Justin Timberlake and Gwen Stefani in addition to a number of classic hits from the 60's - 80's.

We loved The LEGO Movie so I knew we would have fun at a media event at LEGOLAND Discovery Center Boston at Assembly Square, Somerville to introduce The LEGO Movie 4D A New Adventure.  A cool new movie and playing with LEGOs!  Evan and his friend couldn't wait to go!  Plus I am giving you a chance to win a family 4 pack of tickets to go to LEGOLAND Discovery Center Boston and see the new movie!  Everything is awesome!

Emmet was there visiting walking the red carpet for his new movie's premiere.

The new movie was great.  It is a continuation after the original LEGO Movie.  All of your favorite characters are there in larger than life 4D!  The excitement is all around you with some exciting surprises.  Just be aware that there will be some water and bubbles involved.  The kids were loving it!

More about the movie:

Written by Adam Pava (writer of “The Boxtrolls”) and co-written and directed by Rob Schrab (director of the sequel to “The LEGO Movie" debuting in 2018) “The LEGO Movie 4D A New Adventure” is bringing back some of the original voices including Elizabeth Banks (Wyldstyle), Alison Brie (Unikitty), Nick Offerman (MetalBeard) and Charlie Day (Benny) and will introduce a new villain, “Risky Business,” voiced by Patton Oswalt. 

“The LEGO Movie 4D A New Adventure” follows a new journey for Emmet, Wyldstyle, Unikitty, Benny and MetalBeard after they receive a mysterious invitation leading them to a new theme park where all of the rides are based on the characters’ adventures in “The LEGO Movie.”  But not all is as it seems as the heroes are once again thrust into the middle of an evil secret plot, only this time, it will be up to the audience to use their Master Builder skills to help save them! Using elements such as wind, water and special lighting effects, the larger-than-life experience brings the film’s main characters, Emmet and Wyldstyle, back together with their friends for another awesome adventure.

There are a few different LEGO movies that run every half hour continuously.  The movie is about 14 minutes long.  Here is a quick trailer:

While we were there we could explore all of the LEGOLAND Discovery Center.  My favorite part is exploring in Miniland.

It was super cool as the characters from the LEGO Movie had invaded Miniland.  You could find scenes from the movie all throughout Miniland.

The Kragle!

We also tried out the Ninjago Training Area.  This has a maze with lasers that you need to go through after picking your level.

This is the main Discovery area where there is so much to do.

Evan and his friend spent the most time making LEGO Racers.  They loved it!  They kept changing their vehicles and racing them again.

Of course there are log of LEGO people all around.

There is also a Duplo Farm area for little kids.

Another cute area with Karaoke and play area.

The kids also love this play area.  Make sure your kids wear socks as you need them for this area.

The kids could really spend an hour in here.  They loved it!

Plus there are two rides.  We went on Kingdom Quest which allows you to shoot at villains as you play through the game.  I beat both of the boys!

Here is another ride called Merlin's Apprentice Ride.  You pedal to go up in the air. 

There are also facilities for parties.  Here is the inside of one of the rooms.  They have two rooms.

I highly suggest going there for some fun!  Just watch out your kids might turn in to LEGO people.

Enter below to win 4 Tickets! The winner will receive a Family 4 pack of tickets to LEGOLAND® Discovery Center Boston, including two single-entry children tickets valid for ages 3 to 12 years old and two single-entry adult tickets valid for ages 12 years and older.

12/16/15: Star Wars The Force Awakens Review

Yesterday I had the privilege of seeing an advanced media screening of Star Wars The Force Awakens.  Yes you read that correctly, I got to see the most highly anticipated movie of the year 3 days before it releases to movie theaters!  

Go see it when it opens December 18th.

First off I am going to admit it, I am not that in to Star Wars.  I know you are now throwing things at the screen.  Despite the fact that I am not someone that is a Star Wars fanatic I really did love the movie.  There were so many funny moments and I could follow the whole story.  My son has actually been watching the films in the order they were released in preparation for this movie.  I think he is going to love it and I think my husband will love it too.  

It really is a great movie for all ages.  There are no real scary parts for kids.  There are a couple of scary looking creatures that they might look away from the screen when they see but overall nothing too scary for children.

I found even if your kids did not see the other movies they would follow what was going on.  I loved the new stand out actors in the film Finn and Rey.

When they get together they need to get away quickly.  They end up riding in the Millennium Falcon which Rey calls "garbage".  When another ship is blown up they must use this "garbage" to get away.  When you realize what they are going to ride in there is a chuckle from the audience.

It was a nice combination to bring back the nostalgia of having Han Solo and Princess Leia.  I like when Han Solo first sees her and says that she changed her hair.

They had some funny scenes between them and you could sense the chemistry.  See if you can spot Carrie Fisher's daughter in the movie.

Everyone cheered when they saw C-3PO and R2-D2.

I liked BB-8.  It is always amazing to me that even a robot can evoke emotion.  I liked his movement too rolling around.  I love when BB-8 was interacting with R2-D2.

It is a great story of good versus evil.

You will find out who this guy is. 

He has a cool light saber. 

Such beautiful images throughout the whole movie and outstanding music. 

I love these images from the World Premiere Red Carpet event.  Here is the man behind it all.

Everyone is looking great on the Red Carpet.

Love this!

The dream team together.

Storm Troopers everywhere.

What a great movie!  Go see it when it comes out!

The whole family will love it!
