Have a "Super Weekend"...

It's the weekend... time to kick back for a while and relax with family and friends. I know many will be attending church services, enjoying time outdoors, and many will be having Super Bowl parties.

Whatever you do - I hope you have a Super Weekend!

If you plan to watch the game - I hope you enjoy it. Let me know who your favorite team is or pick in the comments below. I don't have a fave team, personally - but my pick for this match-up, is the Giants. I'm not big on football, by any means, but I do think some of the commercials are fun, while others are too racy, in my opinion... especially for those, who like to watch TV, as a family.

If you have seen a sampling of TV Commercials to come for the Super Bowl, then you've probably heard about the Matthew Broderick Commercial that is a tribute to his popular Ferris Bueller character. As a movie buff, I loved the film references and found it to be extremely fun and clever. Too bad they didn't get Ben Stein to portray the parking attendant.

Here's the commercial, straight from You Tube. (It's the extended version)

"Matthew's Day Off":



If, perhaps, you would rather watch something besides football, then there's the annual adorable Puppy Bowl marathon on the Animal Planet. I just love watching them - they are soooo sweet. I just wish the kittens would get more than a half-time show, that only lasts a few minutes and there's streamers everywhere and crazy flashing lights - that must scare them. Don't get me wrong - I adore puppies, but why can't we also have a Cat Bowl?

Anyway, this year the Puppy Bowl has a new Ref, more puppies, a tweeting bird, and Pigs on the sideline acting as a piggie pep squad. Guess we'll have to see if they changed anything with their halftime show.

There will be other Special Shows and Marathons on TV this weekend - in addition to the Super Bowl on Sunday. On Saturday night, INSP will premiere the inspirational movie, The Lamp. On Sunday, there is a Dr Quinn Marathon on GMC, a Little House on the Prairie Tailgate Party on INSP (isn't that a clever title - oh, wait a minute... do wagons have tailgates?) and the Hallmark Channel will re-air the Hallmark Hall of Fame movie - A Smile as Big as the Moon. Plus, they will show their romantic comedy, A Crush on You as a special Family Movie Night with Hoops & Yoyo!

Check the Family Schedule to see times airing!

Enjoy your Weekend! Go Make it Super One!

Two Made-for-TV Movies Premiere this Weekend : for the Hallmark Channel & NBC

Let's start first with the newest film, in the Family Movie Night series of Movies.

The newest film is Field of Vision, starring Faith Ford (A Kiss at Midnight, Hope & Faith, etc...).

This time the Family Movie Night movie will air on NBC and the subject is about bullying. All the Family Movie Night Movies are geared for family viewing; however, I feel parents should always be the judge of that.

Video Clip:





Field of Vision airs Saturday Night, June 11, 2011 at 8 PM est.

*******************

The Hallmark Channel will also be premiering A Crush on You, Saturday night.

I'm not sure if this movie will be family friendly; however, it is Rated TV-PG. Most Hallmark Movies are decent enough for family viewing.


Video Clip:





A Crush on You  airs Saturday Night, June 11, 2011 at 9 PM est and repeats at 11 PM est. It also will re-air again on Sunday Night, June 12th, at 9 PM.

A Crush on You :) - Hallmark Channel Movie

MOVIE REVIEW

A Crush on You :)

Network: Hallmark Channel

Original Air Date: June 11, 2011

CAST:

Brigid Brannagh ... Charley Anderson
Sean Patrick Flanery ... Ben Martin
Christine Scott Bennett ... Chloe Anderson
Michael Clarke Duncan ... Big Jim Nelson

PLOT:

When Ben Martin e-mails Chloe, a beautiful mystery girl who keeps crossing his path, he sends a message to single mother Charley Anderson by mistake. Ben begins dating Chloe, but she never quite lives up to the e-mail relationship and anonymous friendship he develops with Chloe’s co-worker Charley.

Movie Review:

Okay, this was a refreshing romantic comedy... with no language, sex, violence, etc... There was some drinking, however. No one was ever drunk, though. If you listen closely, Ben tells Charley that he switched to 7UP.

It was a cute romantic mixed up comedy! Ben was attracted to Chloe Andersen because she was pretty to him, but in other ways, he became attracted to Charley Anderson, sharing the same interests in numerous things - music, food, etc... Well, in order to meet Chloe, Ben overheard her telling her e-mail address to a friend and he decided to e-mail her anonymously, as her secret admirer.

Instead of going to Chloe, the e-mails went to Charley and they started to connect anonymously on-line while sharing their thoughts and innermost feelings.

I loved watching the connection between Ben and Charley develop, not only on-line, but in real life, too... and I kept waiting for him to finally dump Chloe for her. In the end, though, Chloe dumped Ben, and after figuring out about the e-mails, revealed all the details to Ben & Charley. It wasn't until then, that Ben finally went after Charley. I think it took him long enough! He should've realized sooner that his attraction to Chloe was only skin deep! (Just my two cents)

All in all, though.... it's a very fun romantic chick-flick! So, next time it's on the Hallmark Channel- be sure to catch it with your girlfriends!

See, it's a fun and sweet romantic comedy!
