A Christmas Carol IMAX

Disney’s A Christmas Carol, a multi-sensory thrill ride re-envisioned by Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Robert Zemeckis, captures the fantastical essence of the classic Dickens tale in groundbreaking 3-D motion picture event.

Ebenezer Scrooge (JIM CARREY) begins the Christmas holiday with his usual miserly contempt, barking at his faithful clerk (GARY OLDMAN) and his cheery nephew (COLIN FIRTH). Scrooge later encounters the ghost of his dead business partner Joseph Marley, who’s paying the price in the afterlife for his own callousness.

Marley hopes to help Scrooge avoid a similar fate and tells him he will be visited by three spirits. But when the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come take Old Scrooge on an eye-opening journey revealing he’s reluctant to face, he must open his heart to undo years of ill will before it’s too late.

Parental guidance is suggested. Some material may not be suitable to children due to scary sequences and images.

Erica was slated to review UP!, but it accidentally got shipped to me instead. I had really wanted to see UP! in the theaters, but time just flew by, (pardon the pun,) and I didn't get to it.

When Jackson arrived home from school yesterday, I said, "Guess what arrived in the mail today? UP!"

He hooted with excitement, jumping up and down, begging, "Can we watch it right now?!?"

So I popped some popcorn and Jackson, Olivia and I sat down for a mid-week movie treat. And what a treat it was!

UP! is another Disney•Pixar masterpiece, weaving brilliant storytelling with incredible animation and laugh out loud humor that appeals to all ages.

Jackson roared with laughter during UP!, but he also was moved by the touching story of Carl Fredricksen, a retired balloon salesman, grieving over the loss of his beloved wife and their unrealized dreams of adventure.

Russel, an overeager eight year wanna-be Wilderness Explorer accidentally ends up coming along for the ride as Carl sets his house sailing through the skies to finally visit Paradise Falls in South America.

UP! has all it viewers, old and young, soaring right along with Carl and Russell, growing, laughing and learning that "sometimes life's biggest adventures aren't the ones you set out looking for."

The making of animated movies fascinates me.

In UP!, I especially love eight year old Russell. Here is a video clip with director Pete Docter showing how he helped first time actor Jordan Nagai "become" Russell.

On November 10, 2009, UP! will be available in a Four-Disc Blu-ray Combo Pack, and a Two-Disc DVD, which both include DisneyFile, a digital copy of the movie that can be viewed on an array of electronic devices, as well as a ton of fun bonus features.

We have one Four-Disc Blu-ray Combo Pack of UP! to giveaway. (Approximate value $45.99)

The Encyclopedia of Immaturity Volume 2

This book is a lot of fun. While I initially thought that it was targeted right to boys (and immature can't-grow-up men), my 11-year-old daughter found a lot to like in here, including how to make a diamond ring (dime-in-ring out of a dime and a dollar bill), hand faces, do some magic tricks and play the spoons.

When we received the box in the mail, my six year old immediately popped up, his eyes wide and bright. "What are those?" he asked all full of wonder and awe.

And when I spread them out on the floor, he immediately set to work building and creating. Then I joined in on the fun, looking through the book that came with the blocks and building some of the creations they had mapped out inside.

Needless to say, he and I had to take turns because we both got so into our creations.

According to their website, "ArchiQuest is an open ended, creative and intelligent building system that taps into the wellspring of youthful imagination and learning."

Beautifully carved and handpainted, each set of ArchiQuest blocks come with a hard back book that gives building suggestions and also gives some background on the different sets they offer.

I love these blocks not only for the imagination they spur on in my son, but also because he and I have both learned something new from them. We've learned about the ancient architechs of a time long gone. It's mysterious and exciting for my son to imagine himself as a mighty builder, creating art out of mere shapes.

Sold by Kobold Toys, a company dedicated to products that spur on a child's imagination and creativity, the ArchiQuest blocks are a great gift for any imaginative child.

And today, one lucky reader will have the opportunity to win a set of ArchiQuest blocks.

According to their website, the ArchiQuest blocks are described this way: Each ArchiQuest set includes handcrafted wooden blocks in simple and elegant shapes and an educational, hardbound book. Each block is fully illustrated with beautifully painted, original artwork inspired by some of the world's most famous architectural masterpieces. By arranging your blocks in different ways, you can create hundreds of different architechtural designs. In many ways, ArchiQuest is alike a unique puzzle combining two-dimensional artwork and three-dimensional shapes to tease and challenge our creative intelligence. While ArchiQuest tests your mastery of space, proportion, symmetry, scale, and other architectural properties, it also requires having fun and a playful mind.

To enter to win a set of ArchiQuest blocks from Kobold Toys, please leave a comment below.

This giveaway is open to US shipping addresses only and will close on Friday, November 13th. We will announce our winner on Saturday, November 14th.

Before I sat down to write this review I asked my son what he liked best about his new blocks. "Well, it's cool to build huge towers and knock 'em down then start again," he said. Then I asked him if there was anything he didn't like about the blocks. "Uh, well…" he thought. "I really hate it when Bubba knocks them over and takes them while I'm building."

So, you know, watch out for pesky little brothers and all should be good.

Enter to win today!

*Thank you to Kobold toys for providing me with a set of ArchiQuest Building Blocks to review.*

The problem with shopping online is finding a quality product at a good price. That is why I love Red Envelope. Red Envelope offers unique and personalized gifts for every occasion — from jewelry to centerpieces to holiday treats. And they have one of the cutest line of Baby Gifts that I've ever scene.

I was so excited to welcome home my best friend's new son with the Little Froggy Gift Basket. The green gingham lined wicker hamper was packed full of everything a little one could need (washcloths, onesies, burp cloth, hooded bath blanket, etc.), plus an adorable plush green frog. I was pretty partial to the little frog embroidered on the onesie!

The Baby Gifts at RedEnvelope.com also includes keepsakes for any baby occasion, personalized storybooks, photo frames and growth charts, blankets, and the cutest animal cuddling mats! You really have to visit their site to appreciate all they have to offer. I loved receiving personalized gifts when I had my girls. They are items that I will hold on to for a long time!!!

Red Envelope's pricing is just as amazing as the quality and variety of their products. I know that if I had gone to the store and purchased everything that was in the Little Froggy Gift Basket, I would have been spending well over $75. And I don't think the quality would have been even close to the quality of the items I received from Red Envelope.

If you're looking to purchase a gift for someone special or maybe to treat yourself (because you're special, too!), I would definitely recommend shopping at Red Envelope!!!

Because we like to spoil our fabulous readers (you deserve it, after all) we are giving away some of these amazing products from Red Envelope's new Baby Gifts.

I tend to like all types of music but, when I'm working or wanting to relax, I'll choose an instrumental CD every time! And right now, I'm listening to Kristina Reiko Cooper's new CD, Stone and Steel!!!

Stone and Steel is a beautiful combination of the ancient and the modern as Kristina puts a fresh spin on some old classics — Gregorian chants, songs from composer John Dowland, and Dido's Lament.

I absolutely love the combination of cello, piano, and percussion. The music is relaxing yet inspiring. And, the woman behind the music is even more inspiring!

Kristina Reiko Cooper is not only a renowned musician, frequently performing at such venues as Carnegie Hall, Jerusalem's Henry Crown Hall, Toronto's Roy Thompson Hall and Kioi Hall of Tokyo, but she's also a new mom!!!

Kristina received her bachelors and masters degrees in music and her doctorate of musical arts from Juilliard and now tours the world with her music. But her cello isn't the only thing she's bringing with her on those tours. Kristina also takes her one year old son with her as she tours.

Taking my girls to my parents' house 3 hours away is enough work for me…I couldn't image a world-wide tour! So, I'm going right to the source and finding out how Kristina manages to juggle being a professional musician, a world-wide tour, and being a mom…while still looking so gorgeous!

Who are your musical inspirations?

I have been very lucky to have many wonderful people in my life, —-who have fostered in me, a great love of music—for what I do.  First and foremost, my parents.  My mother is a wonderful violinist, and my father is a beautiful pianist.  I grew up surrounded by great music.  My father used to wake me up every morning, when we lived in Paris for a year, with the Bach 4th Partita!  It used to annoy me no end  as I did not necessarily want to wake up at that moment, but oh–what glorious music, and it was so beautifully played.
  
I was also extremely fortunate to have studied for 6 years in a row, at The Juilliard School, with Robert Mann, the first violinist of the Juilliard String Quartet for 50 years.  He is not only one of the most amazing musicians in the world, and an intellectual thinker on an extremely high level, but he is so "alive"!  Every moment of his life is infused with curiosity and and zest for life.  He would make every moment of music making for me,  tangible, visceral and magical, and perhaps most importantly, immediate.  I hope to one day, imbue my existence with even a modicum of his passion.

What has been the biggest obstacle to overcome having your baby on tour with you?

Logistics, pure and simple.  Traveling with a cello (which has its own seat on a plane), a baby, a nanny, a stroller, car seat, diaper bag, baby bottles and food, diapers,toys, breast pumps, etc. — is a NIGHTMARE!!!!!  So many plane tickets — multiple hotel rooms, ordering of cribs, bottle sterilizers, vaccinations!!! Wow!  People actually laugh at us in the airport when we come by. In the Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris, France, they don't let you take a stroller past check-in.  Imagine that!
 
My husband, my nanny and I have ALL thrown our backs out in the last couple of months.  Imagine why!!!  Our plane was 8 hours late the other day, which meant that we had to spend the night in the Denver airport, after having flown the night before from Israel. After all of that, I had to go straight from the airport to the stage for a sound check — NOT fun.
 
That being said, there is nothing more amazing than coming home (well, back to your hotel) after a concert, and seeing that beautiful, incredible face, peeking out from under the covers — and smelling that magical little creature that you still can not believe is your baby.
 
Oh, did I mention dealing with a baby with jet-lag???

What are your secrets for making it all work — performing, recording, and being a mom?

I am not so sure that I have any secret at all — I am a major stress-ball a good part of the time.  Just ask my husband.  However, I am incredibly fortunate to have a very supportive spouse — that means everything.  Our nanny, Dina, is also a wonderful girl that loves Zack very much, and what I do would not be possible without her.  Also, I never let it enter my mind, that I would become something or someone that I am not, just because I became a Mom.  I am a cellist — a musician and artist, and always have been.  Now I happen to be a cellist/musician/artist/incredibly blessed Mom.
Also, I don't sleep anymore!!!

Stone and Steel is an amazing CD and I know you are all going to love it! Everything about the CD is beautiful, from the music to the disc art itself. Stones and Steel is currently available at Amazon and on iTunes. Also, check out Kristina's website to see if she'll be coming your way on her tour. I'm excited that she will be in my area this February!!!

We are excited to be giving away FIVE copies of Kristina Reiko Cooper's Stones and Steel here at 5 Minutes for Giveaways. Trust me, you want to win this CD! To enter simply leave a comment on this post by Friday, November 6th. The FIVE winners will be announced on Saturday, November 7th.
