Best of Fest :: Review and Giveaway
In May, I was contacted by Best of Fest and asked if I wanted to review the family and kids packs of DVD's. I had no idea what Best of Fest was, so I did a little research.
Their tag line is: The Best Films You've Never Seen.
Every year there are hundreds of independent films made. We see only a fraction of the films made come to the theaters.
Best of Fest takes the very best films shown at film festivals and puts them together into DVD sets for us!
I have deliberately waited a bit before doing this review for 1 reason. My kids get really excited about new movies and then within a couple of weeks the newness wears off and they move on to something else. I wanted to see what the staying power of these movies were.
Seth had to grow his hair out this summer so he could look like the boy in For All the Marbles (that movie also started a new craze of marble playing in my house). Seth also decided he needed to have a poncho, mask, holster and cowboy hat like Tommy the Kid and would ride his bike around the neighborhood on the lookout for danger and unsightly hooligans.
Amelia pretends to be Ruby, or one of the girls from the Frog movie.
They love these movies and ask again and again to watch them. I don't mind letting them either. Every film shows initiative and makes the kids think. There is a lesson to learn, a story to tell, and lots of laughs.
I love that these are not the typical cartoons or kid dramas that we see in the theater. It is something new, something fresh, something to get my kids imaginations going and I adore that.
The great folks at Best of Fest want to give one of my lucky readers a box set of their choice!!!
