Sisters Alexia (Katherine Heigl) and Hayley (Danielle Harris) are total opposites; Alexia is a pretty, popular high school senior who seems only concerned with maximizing desirability and getting into a decent college, and her sister Hayley is more academically driven and into green energy! One night, Hayley observes a shooting star and makes a wish to have her sisters life, and the next morning that wish comes true in a most unexpected way: the sisters switch bodies!

The Movie ConnectionDCS: TomorrowlandThis week we watched the unapologetically optimistic, sci-fi adventure film starring George Clooney and Britt Robertson, "TOMORROWLAND."
This one really flew under the radar and was met with middling response from audiences and critics alike, but overall it is a fun ride from start to finish. The lead character Kasey (don't worry, we talk about it), is a bright-eyed and intelligent kid with aspirations of making the future a better place for all. "Kasey acquires a mysterious pin that shows her a utopian, futuristic world of tomorrow and she seeks out the aid of someone who has b...

The Movie ConnectionDCS: My Favorite MartianThis week we watched the out of this world, outrageous comedy "My Favorite Martian" starring everybody's favorite creepy uncle: Christopher Lloyd.
A Martian crash-lands on Earth and must try to remain incognito long enough to repair his ship and return home without being discovered.

Starring Amy Adams in the role that established her as a dynamic acting force to be reckoned with: Giseslle, who is basically all of your favorite classic Disney princesses rolled into one. She sings beautifully, she talks to animals and has a talent for dressmaking and falling from high places. This is also at the height of Patrick Dempsey's renowned role as Dr. McDreamy in Grey's Anatomy, in this he is playing a jaded New Yorker and pulling it off! We also have James...

The Movie ConnectionDCS: Baby's Day OutIn the Battle of the Babies, you voted, we listened and this week we are watching and reviewing "BABY'S DAY OUT."
This 90's movie staring an adorable baby, played by twins who would never act in movies again, which, given the path many kid actors end up on may have been a very smart move. Regardless, we are treated to a off-the-wall comedy that pits a infant child against a trio of bumbling kidnappers Eddie (Joe Mantegna), Norby (Joe Pantoliano) and Veeko (Brian Haley.) who have to track down the little guy as he crawls his way...

Starring some of the most adorable muppets ever (Rugby the Tiger, Mew the mouse) and some of the most horrifying muppets ever (Apple.) al together in one delightful playroom.

The Movie ConnectionDCS: BeetlejuiceYou voted, we listened, and the winner was: "Beetlejuice" which is one of Tim Burton's early classic's before he got all Tim Burton-y. The director is not the only one in top form, we get a manic and memorable performance from Michael Keaton as the titular trickster himself and the music is beautifully executed by Burton regular, Danny Elfman.

This was the long awaited installment following a extended hiatus that saw the changing of many leaders in the Disney company including one of the producers behind the original Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy. Perhaps it is changing of the guards and the EXTREME trimming of the budget (made for 100 Million dollars LESS than At World's End.) that makes this film feel like it's...missing something.Though we are missing a Will Turner and a Elizabeth...Turner, we...

The Movie ConnectionDCS: Kronk's New GrooveThe podcast gets a new groove in honor of today's movie:"Kronk's New Groove" The sequel to the energetic Disney animated feature starring David Spade. This movie contains just as much energy and crazy humor as the original and finds a charming character the lovable oaf, Kronk, but it also seems to use a familiar Disney Animated Sequel format by stringing together three distinct stories into one "narrative." But it is still fun from beginning to end. Kronk has to prepare for the arrival of his judgmental father and comes to terms with what his father expects to what appeals...
