Storybook “Rabbit” Comes To Life
One of the World’s most popular children’s books by English author Beatrix Potter has made its debut to theaters and is expected to finish in second at the box office just behind the Fifty Shades finale.
Peter Rabbit follows the adventures of the lovable yet mischievous young rabbit as he seeks to get into Mr. McGregor’s Garden. When the old man (played by Sam Neill) finally passes away, Peter and all the animals think they have won and move in on the territory, that is, until Young Mr. Thomas McGregor (played by Domhnall Gleeson) discover’s his long lost Uncle’s property and moves in to get ready to sale it.
But there’s a catch, the next door neighbor, and long time friend to the rabbits, Bea (played byRose Byrne) comes over and sparks up a slight romance with the new McGregor. Now, it’s time for Peter and his family to lay claim to what is theirs and try to drive this new McGregor out.
At just 1 hour and 33 minutes kids and adults alike will be entertained with the adventures of Peter Rabbit (James Corden), his sisters: Flopsy (Margot Robbie), Mopsy (Elizabeth Debicki) and Cottontail (Daisy Ridley) and their cousin Benjamin Bunny (Colin Moody) in this live action/ animated fused movie about a tale from their childhood books.
Overall, the film stayed true to the book by including all the familiar characters. It brought life to a rooster as it painted a picture and answered a question as to why the rooster crows every morning, which added a comic relief to the mischief that the rabbits go into in the garden.
Peter Rabbit came out in theaters February 9 and currently is playing in a theater near you.
“The Chipmunks” Are Back
In their fourth installment, the chipmunks return to the big screen with one goal, as always to save Dave, this time from proposing.

The film also brings back, their female counterparts, the Chipettes voiced by Christina Applegate (Brittney), Kaley Cuoco (Eleanor) and Anna Faris (Janette) though this is truly a journey for the Chipmunks as they try to keep dave from proposing to his new girlfriend, Samantha (Kimberly Williams- Paisley), in order to keep from gaining a terrible step-brother (Josh Green).
Overall, The Road Chip is full of family friendly laughs, adventure and of course great musical performances as they travel from Hollywood to Miami, on the greatest trip of their lives that will ultimately be the best decision that Dave has ever made.
At 1 hour 26 minutes, it’s a great movie for families and anyone who wants to get away from the mob of Star Wars Fans this weekend. Though Star Wars: The Force Awakens is expected to take top at the box office this weekend, it’ll be a close race to see if Fox will beat Universal for the number two spot.
