Are you planning to go see Hotel for Dogs? It looks like a really cute family movie, especially if you have a dog fanatic in the family. In our family the dog fanatic is me:-)

The movie is about two kids that adopt 9 stray dogs and keep them in an old abandoned house. Here’s the trailer:

If you check out the movie stop by and leave a comment on what you thought. Hopefully we can go see it this weekend, but the temps have been below zero. It may be a stay at home and stay warm weekend.

The Beverly Hills Chihuahua may not be bow- wowing the critics, but it’s stomping the competition this weekend at the box office. I suspect however harsh the critics are, the movie will still find a spot in the hearts of children and dog lovers.

The movie is about a Chihuahua named Chloe (voiced by Drew Barrymore) from Beverly Hills (of course), who runs into trouble while she’s in Mexico.

I haven’t seen the film yet, but every time I see the movie trailer, I’m reminded of the talking Chihuahua on the Taco Bell commercial several years ago.

If you saw the movie feel free to sound off on whether it’s worth the watch. We may go see it next weekend.

The Water Horse – Legend of the Deep premieres on DVD today.  The movie’s based on the novel by Dick King-Smith. It tells the story of a boy who finds an egg, and raises a water creature, which eventually becomes the legendary Loch Ness Monster.  It’s an enchanting story for both children and adults.

Watch as the water horse grows from a cute little hatchling, to the giant water horse of the deep. The antics, and trouble he gets into in between are a fun refreshing change to some of the other children’s movies out there today.
