The 4th Of July forecast is a little iffy in places. So, if you find yourself with a few indoor hours, Netflix has a list of items which are headed to the streaming service this long weekend. Here are some of the highlights:

Make no mistake, Netflix has changed the way we consume media. Ten years ago, we were going to Blockbuster less often, and ordering DVD's for mail delivery. Then, as streaming popularized, we weren't even leaving the house to find our favorite (or impulse choice) movies. A few years later, and their original programming forever changed the game. Upon the launch of House Of Cards, I thought "w

Former Vice President Joe Biden gave a wonderful commencement speech at Colby College this weekend, but sorry Joe... You have been topped. Actor Bill Pullman, who as the President, gave one of the best speeches of all-time in the movie, 'Independence Day', turned those famous words around for graduation day!

It might be a tale as old as time, but audiences have proven there’s still a few petals left on that old flower. Despite being projected to open at somewhere between $214–245 million worldwide, Beauty and the Beast knocked the pants off those projections, eclipsing $350 million at the international box office and setting a March record for domestic releases along the way. Let’s take a look at how things shook out this past weekend with some of the expected grosses.

Hillary Clinton. The Atlanta Falcons. "La La Land." All know too well just how crushing losing can be. But which defeat was the worst?

The infamous mask, made popular by the silly 'Chewbacca Mom', has become the must have toy for Star Wars fans.  The mask makes the funny roar associated with Chewbacca from Star Wars.  My husband HAD to have one.  So, I found one for him and got for his birthday.

If you have ever closely watched a Pixar movie, you probably have noticed that they are always packed with cool "Easter Eggs" to link it to other movies from the studio. If you haven't noticed, don't worry, Disney has posted a cool video showing how these movies connect to each other.

This is an old story...but with only 29 days left before the new movie premieres.  Wondering if  you should see it?  Here's what we have to say about the first movie.  I finally ventured out last night and watched the movie of the year...50 Shades of Grey.  I have read all 3 books and have been anticipating the release of this hot steamy flick.  So, I have high expectations when it comes movies ba

It’s telling that Rogue One’s best character is a robot.

What a gem! This is a promotional video for the Maine Department of Economic Development from the Northeast Historic Film YouTube page. With 1950's footage of basically every tourist destination in Maine, this is like something out of Back To The Future...

It's hard to believe that Thanksgiving is a week from Thursday. After the Thanksgiving Day parades, NFL Football, a huge dinner with family and friends and a trek to the living room to relax, what's next when the tryptophan kicks in and no one wants to move from the sofa...

As far as Halloween light displays, this one outshines all others.

What started out as a throwaway joke on a final-season episode of the NBC comedy "Parks and Recreation" could end up being a mind-blowing prediction, as one character casually mentions the Cubs winning the World Series.

Another fake "news" story about Maine has gone viral. Always check the source before you share!

I took my daughter, Chloe, to see The Secret Life of Pets yesterday afternoon.  Cute movie, by the way.  I understand when you go to a children's movie, there's going to be chatty kiddos.  Kids not sitting still.  I can accept that.  It's a children's movie.  But here's what I don't understand.

Originally made in 1977, Disney has remade the classic movie "Pete's Dragon".  My personal opinion is 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' and I will probably always be a fan of the original movie.  But, for my kids, I'm certain they are going to love this movie.
