Directed by James Bobin, Dora and The Lost City of Gold is how I pictured Dora the Explore’s first movie. Though, I don’t see the map in the movie trailer.

Rightly so, Dora, played by Isabela Moner, spent most of her life exploring the jungle with her parents, played by Eva Longoria and Michael Pena, nothing could prepare Dora for her most crazy adventure – High School.

While on a High School field trip Dora and her friends get kidnapped because her parents are looking for a lost city of gold, and the kidnappers think Dora is their way of finding her parents.

L-r, Eva Longoria, Isabela Moner and Michael Peña star in Paramount Pictures’ “DORA AND THE LOST CITY OF GOLD.”

Dora is self-sufficient with her backpack and always the explorer. She quickly finds herself leading Boots, her best friend in the cartoon series – a monkey, Diego, played by Jeff Wahlberg, a mysterious jungle inhabitant, played by Eugenio Derbez, and a ragtag group of teens on a live-action adventure to get away from the kidnappers, save her parents, and solve the impossible mystery behind a lost city of gold.

In this clip, we see her parents trying so hard to protect Dora from city life.

Moner is known for her singing career and her performance in the movie Instant Family, where she wrote and sang the movie’s theme song “I’ll Stay.”

The second trailer shows us plenty more of what to expect from Dora with a quick short cut to the Swiper. It looks like the movie is following some of Nickelodeon‘s series.

“Angry Birds 2” Trailers, Clips & Posters

Directed by Thurop Van Orman, Angry Birds 2 looks cold and silly. The domestic movie trailer shows a conflict of sorts between tropical birds in paradise and a tundra bird being miserable.

Peter Ackerman wrote the screenplay, and the little dialogue I can hear in the movie trailer appears not for kids’ ears. The storyline is not clear. The sequel seems to have a bigger voice cast with new and returning talent.

The studio promises the flightless birds, and scheming green pigs take their beef to the next level. I doubt the movie will be as addicting as the app.

The movie entertains kids of all ages. The competition we see in the app happens on the screen. The more powerful birds get the accolades as seen in this movie trailer.

I haven’t played the app game in a very long time. These posters are so cute, and the bird expressions are priceless.

The studio is calling this the fifth trailer, so enjoy. It is funny and cute.

The two clips are silly but funny. The bathroom clip is hilarious.

Two more movie clips that show how cute and silly these birds can get when they set their minds to it. The first clip is my favorite.

The “Sus Sis” clip is too funny and doesn’t help me understand this movie at all.

The next two clips show how the movie is ridiculous.

“Overboard” Delivers Enormous and Monumental Laughs

comedy, romance, ,

Co-written and directed by Rob Greenberg, Overboard follows Leonardo, played by Eugenio Derbez. He is a selfish, spoiled, rich playboy from Mexico’s most affluent family and Kate, played by Anna Faris, a working-class single mother of three hired to clean Leonardo’s luxury yacht.

Leonardo unjustly fires Kate and refuses to pay her. He falls overboard when partying too hard and wakes up on the Oregon coast with amnesia. Kate shows up at the hospital and, to get payback, convinces Leonardo he is her husband and puts him to work – for the first time in his life.

At first miserable and inept, Leonardo slowly settles in. Eventually, he earns the respect of his new family and co-workers. With Leonardo’s billionaire family hot on their trail and the possibility of his memory returning at any moment, it makes for a fun and entertaining movie.

The Blu-ray and DVD are available with streaming video happening as well. Each disc package contains special featurettes, including an audio commentary with the writer and director Rob Greenberg.

Watch the trailer promoting the Blu-ray and DVD. You might find yourself wanting to see the movie. If you have already seen the movie, you might find yourself wanting to see the film again.

Interestingly, Overboard is a cross-culture movie. With the Anglo-Saxon playing the excellent and thoughtful lower-income character and the Hispanic playing the wealthy and arrogant nature.

Watch the trailer and get a sense of the old Hollywood movies where the audience is in on the gag. This movie clip shows why Kate is putting him through the wringer.

This movie clip makes the joke seem believable. It’s beginning to look like a decent movie.

The second trailer tells us more about the film. It’s kind of cute and funny.

“How to Be a Latin Lover” Trailer

comedy, romance, , , , ,

Directed by Ken Marino, How to Be a Latin Lover stars Eugenio Derbez in the cross-culture movie with more of a Latin flare than a true American comedy. Eugenio plays a very handsome and very young Maximo who dreams of being rich without ever having to work a day in his life.

Having made a career of seducing rich older women, he marries a wealthy woman more than twice his age. 25 years later, spoiled and bored from waking up next to his now 80-year-old wife. He gets the surprise of his life when she ends up dumping him for a younger car salesman.

Forced out of his mansion and desperate for a place to stay, he must move in with his estranged sister, Sara, played by Salma Hayek, and her nerdy but adorable son, Hugo, in their small apartment. Eager to return to the lap of luxury, Maximo uses his nephew’s crush on a classmate to get to his new target-her grandmother, Celeste, a widowed billionaire.

As Maximo tries to rekindle his powers as a Latin lover, he bonds with his nephew Hugo, and he learns that being a Latin lover means that loving money isn’t as important as the love of your family.

Here is another trailer. The boy is hilarious.
