Mid-October Media Round up

Movies and more movies! Seems like there’s a whole new exciting batch each week and it’s hard to keep up.
Okay so this week’s biggie was the re-release of Sleeping Beauty. Deb did a special review of it when it came out on Tuesday; it’s the 50th anniversary (seriously?!) and get it while you can and while it’s out of the vault.
It’s been awhile since this one was available. I tried to get my boys to watch it – tried the whole selling point of “there are bad guys! And a prince who has to do some fighting!” But they saw through my ruse. So there I sat, sitting alone watching Sleeping Beauty. Some things don’t get old, even with age. Anyhow, buy it on Amazon for $14.99.

And okay so it’s not a kids’ movie but it’s such an awesome saga and seeing that this awesome restoration was coming out, I had to feature it. There’s a new release of the Godfather series – the Coppola Restoration. It released September 23th, 2008.
