Yup, we love our movies!

In fact, Snoopy & Charlie Brown: The Peanuts Movie is out now on iTunes, and on Blu-ray and DVD on April 6, 2016. Here is the trailer of the very fun movie: Mini guests enjoyed Gelatissimo 'Doggie Gelato' (no fear - it is a human AND dog friendly gelato - quite delish) and lotsa party fare and food! A life size Snoopy came to our home party and entertained mini guests, and we had photos galore. Here are some, and see more @josiegags on Instagram:
Each guest took home merchandise from the movie: a baseball (of course, that was Charlie Brown's thing, remember!), a clever little post-it note and notepad dispenser, an ice cube tray with the Peanuts motif, and fun little party 'printable' activities which YOU too can print out and enjoy for YOUR 'Snoopy & Charlie Brown: The Peanuts Movie' party at home. Yes, you can create the magic in your home. You can wait for the DVD - it's available from this April 6, or download the movie right now on iTunes. Get it on iTunes HERE - immediate download.

'The Book of Life' - a wonderful movie Josie's Juice saw at the flicks with the kiddies - is out now on DVD. Available on Digital HD (from 9 September) and Blu-ray and DVD (from 23 September).
Josie's Juice has been invited by Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment to throw a 'The Book Of Life' party for my little family, and we did! We got into the spirit by setting up a traditional pinata, and used a face painting kit to create the hugely colourful 'Day of the Dead' faces on the kiddies, and then we sat down to revisit the movie we all enjoyed so much at the cinema.
You and your family can also join Manolo, Maria and Chuy as they embark on a journey that takes them on an adventure through the Land of the Remembered in 'The Book Of Life'. This culturally-based Day of the Dead themed animated feature is written and directed by Jorge Gutierrez and produced by Guillermo del Toro.
The PR blurb about the movie:
THE BOOK OF LIFE is a breathtaking animated comedy with a dazzling visual style unlike anything you’ve seen before. Torn between the expectations of his family and the desires of his heart, a young man named Manolo sets off on an epic quest, that spans three spectacular worlds, in order to reunite with his one true love and defend his village. Not your ordinary fairy tale, THE BOOK OF LIFE is a wondrous fantasy-adventure filled with magic, music and fun!
The film’s fantastical journey on Blu-ray brings the party into your home with unforgettable special features for parents and kids alike. Follow the adorable pig Chuy as he embarks on an incredible adventure in his all-new motion comic, or sing along with Latin-inspired versions of popular songs by Mumford & Sons, Radiohead, Elvis Presley, Rod Stewart and more!
Fans of this magical adventure can experience THE BOOK OF LIFE anytime, anywhere on Digital HD and will be available at digital stores including iTunes, Google Play, Xbox Video, PlayStation.

Did you catch 'The Longest Ride' at the cinema? Josie's Juice did, and took along two teens and an old school pal as guests.
They were keen as, seeing as it's a romaaaaantic story based on the Nicholas Sparks book. And every single Sparks book is brimming with romance ('The Notebook', 'A Walk To Remember', 'Safe Haven', need we go on?). In fact, his films have grossed over $740 million at the box office to date. YIKES!
As for me, and my same aged guest: we were... mouth agape at the breathtaking beauty of Scott Eastwood. Yes, I said 'beauty' in reference to a bloke. And when you clap eyes on Scott, you too will use feminine sounding words to describe him. And, he comes from great hunk o' spunk stock: Clint Eastwood, man of a gazillion roles and director genius of many screen gems.
'The Longest Ride' also stars the stunning Britt Robertson, and Oona Chaplin and Alan Alda.
Here is the trailer:
And now, the movie is released on DVD and YOU have chance to watch it online, via the FIVE DVD codes Josie's Juice is giving away (so, you'll be entering a comp to download it your device immediately).

It is SO much fun, a real treat for families, and the central theme really is all about family and home. See the wonderful trailer below.
Now available on DVD, and you can download instantly via iTunes right here, my family and I were lucky enough to host our own 'Home' DVD launch party… in our own home!
We invited my twins' friends and the gorgeous and very witty character 'Oh' (played so hilariously by Jim Parsons from 'The Big Bang Theory') made a wonderful appearance which delighted us all.
The best part is that it was a truly interactive experience, and one you can recreate in your own home.
Here is the downloadable 'toolkit' which you can grab and print right now, hosting your own 'Home' do in your abode, with popcorn and all the trimmings.
