Bike Glow...Review!

I can't believe summer is coming to a close.  I have mixed feelings...I am so sad to see summer go but I am also excited about the arrival of my favorite season to arrive.  I love the fall with its' crisp evenings, back to school shopping and falling leaves.  It also brings with it darker skies earlier in the evening (hooray for no more-"I know the sun is still shining sweetie but it IS bedtime"!).  I was recently sent a product to review that is the perfect companion on those darker, back to school evenings....the Bike Glow!  Here is the scoop...

Description: A bike safety light product, the brightly colored BikeGlow™ Safety Light will dramatically increase your bike's side visibility when it's wrapped around your frame.

•  10 ft. flexible light tube uses electroluminescent technology and features bright colors for increased visibility from side

The Bike Glow is such a fun product.  A&W loved seeing their bikes glowing and flashing...they think they are pretty hot stuff with their bikes all aglow!  Even more important that the fun factor is the safety factor.  The Bike Glow makes your child super visible in low light conditions which is so important.  When the kiddos are out and about on their bikes we want them to be safe which, in the evening, makes the Bike Glow a no brainer!  Let your kids appreciate the fun factor while you breathe a little easier as they are out riding.  By the way-the Bike Glow is NOT just for kids.  I am thinking of getting one for me  and my Pee Wee Herman style pink bike...now THAT is cool!  Buy the Bike Glow by clicking HERE.  Happy Riding!

Waiting For Forever...Review!

Are you all looking for a good, new movie to watch?  If a nice "chick flick" or love story is what you are searching for, be sure to check out Waiting for Forever!  Here is the scoop on this just released (May 3rd) flick...

Rachel Bilson (Jumper, The O.C.) and Tom Sturridge (Pirate Radio) lead an all-star cast in this unforgettable love story. Sturridge creates a mesmerizing and unforgettable character in Will, the quirky street performer with a free spirit and a heart of pure gold. The object of Will's lifelong affection is Emma (Bilson), the beautiful young actress whom he has never stopped loving since they were childhood sweethearts. But when they reunite, and Will gets swept up in Emma’s complicated past, his innocence and all-consuming passion could cost him everything he’s ever wanted.

WAITING FOR FOREVER also stars Richard Jenkins (Step Brothers), Blythe Danner (Little Fockers, Meet the Fockers), Nikki Blonsky (Hairspray) and Jaime King (Sin City, Pearl Harbor).

This is SUCH a sweet movie.  I am a fan of Rachel Bilson's from The O.C. but Tom Sturridge was new to me but he is a great actor.  He really made Will come to life and made him SO endearing and had me completely rooting for him.  This is a super movie to pop in with a few girlfriends or when you want to throw your cozies on and have some "me time".  I give this romantic movie a big girlie thumbs up!  You can pick up your copy today on Amazon....

Casino Jack....Review!

A new movie came out from 20th Century Fox last month and I was lucky enough to review it from the RBM couch....love it!  Casino Jack was one I really wanted to see in the theater but, alas, after the kiddos go to bed I am generally too tired to leave the house!  I was thrilled to get the chance to see it on my own home theater...I even popped some popcorn.  Here is what Casino Jack is about in case you have not heard (where have you been??)...

SYNOPSIS
Catch Kevin Spacey in his Golden Globe-nominated performance as a megalomanical lobbyist in CASINO JACK, which arrived on Blu-ray and DVD on April 5th from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment.  The critically acclaimed film based on a true story tells the tale of one of DC’s most lucrative lobbyists, who used his power and influence to create an extravagant lifestyle that included private jets, exotic cars, and even an offshore gambling business.

Two-time Academy Award® Winner Kevin Spacey delivers a “bravura performance” (The New Yorker) in this “uproarious, riveting and wickedly hilarious” (Elle) film inspired by a true story. Spacey stars as Jack Abramoff, the real-life Washington power player who resorted to jaw-dropping levels of fraud and corruption. High-rolling excess and outrageous escapades are all in a day’s work for Abramoff, as he goes to outrageous lengths to promote the Indian gambling industry, earning him the nickname “Casino Jack.” But when Jack and his womanizing protégé Michael Scanlon (Barry Pepper) enlist a dimwitted business partner (Jon Lovitz) for an illegal scheme, they find themselves ensnared in a web of greed and murder that explodes into a worldwide scandal.

CASINO JACK is a cautionary tale that showcases the best and worst of Capitol Hill intrigue, and also stars Barry Pepper (True Grit), Kelly Preston (Old Dogs, Death Sentence), and Jon Lovitz (Saturday Night Live, The Producers).



The Scoop from RBM:  I loved it!  Truth be told, as soon as I saw Kevin Spacey was in it, I knew I would probably like it.  I think he is an incredible actor and he did not disappoint...he nailed the main character role.  I also thought the supporting cast was great as well.  I really enjoyed the fact that this was based on  a true story (crazy!) and even though I am not into politics (shameful, I know!!) I still enjoyed this flick.  It is about 2 hours and generally I would fall asleep at least once during a movie this long (thank you Baby R!) but this one was interesting, funny and I did not sleep a wink and that, readers, is saying a lot!  I give 2 thumbs up to Casino Jack!  You can pick up your copy today on Amazon (perfect for a date night!)...
