Someone tried to convince me that the upcoming Disney film, The BFG stood for The Big Fat Giant, and I almost believed them. Despite being born in the 1980’s, I have never read Roald (not misspelled) Dahl’s book, The BFG. We saw the preview for the movie while watching Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and my son was mesmerized. It’s definitely on our watch list for this year. You can read more about what “The BFG” stands for below and watch the trailer above. You can also check out The BFG movie Facebook page here. Do you want to read the book before you see the movie? You can find it for purchase here.

Call me a country girl, but I love a good cowboy flick; when you combine this with a Nicholas Sparks novel, I have a reason to get excited. On April 10, The Longest Ride will hit theaters. The storyline involves two couples who were born decades apart, but who both had to figure out if their love was worth the sacrifice they would have to endure.

We love to go to the movies, and that is why I love partnering with Fandango. I can remember the first movie that I ever took Gabe to, but he will never remember it. Shamelessly, I couldn’t miss seeing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows-Part 1, so I took my 8 month old son to the movies with me. From that day forward, he and I have shared a love of going to the theater. We even had a movie routine for a year or so. He and I would go to Saturday 5pm mass, grab a bite to eat, and go catch a movie. It was fun spending time together, doing something that we both enjoyed. Do you love to go to the movies? With the help of Fandango, I thought I would spread a little holiday cheer. I’m giving away one grand prize $50 Fandango gift card, and two $25 Fandango gift cards to three lucky winners. Are you feeling lucky?
