Fight for What You Deserve

Who said Chick Flicks couldn't be wild? African Cats is a movie that reaches out to help preserve the life of animals in need while still being a Chick Flick. African Cats follows the life of lions, lionesses and cheetahs as they fight to stay alive. It is hard not to fall in love with the young cubs like Mara. Mara is the only daughter to Layla, the oldest and most experienced lioness. Layla is an independent lioness who fights until the end to protect not only her daughter but the complete pack. As the protagonist in the film, Layla leads by example by displaying her never ending courage and strength. She is a single mother who is able to take on the role as a leader and overcomes many struggles. The independence, challenges and loss captured in this film make it a qualified Chick Flick.

Not only does African cats motivate young females and gives hope to single mothers who are facing their own challenges, but it raises money to preserve the wildlife and wild lands of Africa. Disneynature has joined effort with The African Wildlife Foundation (AWF) and the people of Africa, to ensure these animals will have a place to live forever. Disneynature has pledged to donate 20 cents per ticket sold during opening week (April 22-April 28) to AWF,with a minimum of $100,000 pledged to this program.

Also, Walt Disney Records pledged to donate 20% of net proceeds received from the sale of the Jordin Sparks' single "The World I Knew" to the African Wildlife Foundation for each single sold between April 12, 2011 and April 12, 2012. The song coincides with the movie perfectly as it encourages individuals to get through the bump along the road they are bombarded with. "No matter what your age, if you have that one person or support system, you can make it through anything," explains Jordan Sparks, in an interview with Artist Direct, about her song. This film is a great entertaining film with many lessons and educational learning opportunities as well as a way to support a cause in need.

What happens when you combine the movie experience with a comedy stand-up? You get the perfect creation of Kevin Hart’s LAUGH AT MY PAIN . This movie captures Kevin Hart’s most successful comedy tour yet and takes us behind the scenes to where all his creativity began. He grew up in a bad neighborhood in Philadelphia with just his mother, as his father was a drug addict who wasn’t welcome at the home. Despite his father’s addictions Kevin was still able to have a relationship with him. Their relationship wasn’t what most would call normal, but regardless it definitely played a key role in LAUGH AT MY PAIN. Even as a successful comedian, Kevin is one to proudly state he can’t flaunt as if spending money isn’t a thing to him. He portrays his endless scenarios of when putting up large sums of money becomes a pr...

Chick Flicks Make History

What does the term chick flick mean to you? Are you into chick flicks? What have chick flicks done for the film industry? Have chick flicks always been called chick flicks? When I think of a chick flick I think of a movie I can see with all my girlfriends on a Girl’s Night In.
