January 13, 2015 by The Mom Jen Leave a Comment

Ant-Man Teaser Trailer #AntMan I’ll just go ahead and admit it, I love Paul Rudd. As a comedic actor he was hilarious as “Mike” in the Friends’ TV series, and I’ve seen everything he’s made ever since. When I heard he was going to be in a Marvel Studios movie, I was thrilled! Plus Evangaline Lily from one of my favorite shows of all time, LOST is in it, I can’t wait to check out Ant-Man this summer!

Here’s a little teaser trailer from the movie!

The next evolution of the Marvel Cinematic Universe brings a founding member of The Avengers to the big screen for the first time with Marvel Studios’ “Ant-Man.” Armed with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, master thief Scott Lang must embrace his inner-hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym, protect the secret behind his spectacular Ant-Man suit from a new generation of towering threats. Against seemingly insurmountable obstacles, Pym and Lang must plan and pull off a heist that will save the world.

Disney’s Club Penguin Epic Event: Members Suit Up as Marvel Super Heroes & Villains

April 29, 2013 by The Mom Jen 2 Comments

Perfect timing after spending last week in Hollywood promoting the Iron Man 3 movie premiere, I can come home and let my kids have their share of Marvel and Disney fun! Penguins are once again assembling as Marvel Super Heroes and Super Villains in Disney’s Club Penguin, the #1 virtual world for kids, for this year’s all-new Marvel Super Hero Takeover event. I just love how all these penguins represent something that means so much more to me now!

Now through May 7th, penguins will be called to defend the city of Penguintropolis and bring members dressed as Marvel Super Villains to justice before they take over with their destructive robots. After choosing sides, members can suit up in over 25 Marvel costumes like Super Heroes Iron Man, She-Hulk, Captain America and Sif or the more mischievous ensembles of Marvel Super Villains like the Mandarin and Loki. Having gotten to see Iron Man 3 before the general public, I know a little about the Mandarin and my insider view will keep me giggling to myself until the movie is out!

“Last year’s partnership event with Marvel was extremely popular, and at that time, became the most-trafficked event in our history,” said Chris Heatherly, Vice President and General Manager, Disney Interactive Worlds. “This year we’ve made the Marvel Super Hero Takeover Event even more epic for players with twice the amount of Marvel Super Hero and Super Villain costume options and deeper, more action-packed gameplay and storylines.”

During the Marvel Super Hero Takeover event:

Members can suit up in 27 different Marvel Super Hero and Super Villain costumes, while all players can dress as cops, robbers and civilians
Super Heroes can plan their defense strategy in the Hero Lab, while Super Villains can scheme in the Villain HQ, building eight different kinds of destructive robots
Members can buy new super igloos like the Secret Base, an impenetrable HQ perfect for Super Heroes, while Super Villains will feel right at home in the new Creepy Cavern
Marvel costumes feature characters from the new animated series “Marvel’s Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H.” including She-Hulk, A-Bomb, Red Hulk and Skaar. The series premieres August 11 inside Marvel Universe on Disney XD. Club Penguin fans of “Marvel’s Ultimate Spider-Man” can also dress up just like Iron Spider. And don’t forget Iron Man, Hulk, Captain America and Thor, who assemble in “Marvel’s Avengers Assemble” with a one-hour preview May 26 and launching on July 7 inside Marvel Universe on Disney XD.

My kids have been playing Club Penguin for over 5 years and I too have enjoyed playing it myself. I can’t wait to see the Iron Man suit on my daughter’s penguin!

Walking the Red Carpet: My Iron Man 3 Premiere Experience #IronMan3Event

April 28, 2013 by The Mom Jen 15 Comments

I’m still on cloud 9 after a whirlwind week in Hollywood. I was there to attend the premiere of Iron Man 3 at the iconic El Capitan Theater with 24 other fabulous bloggers and it was thrilling! Leading up to the event I purchased and borrowed dress after dress to finally decide on something a bit more formal.

From the moment I landed in Los Angeles, my excitement just grew and grew. Not to mention a little bit of anxiety. I dressed and headed down to meet the group. I grabbed a few friends, old and new, and we posed for some pre-event shots.Top right is Ashley from Crunchy Frugalista, middle pic is my photo buddy and #shortfriend Sarah from East 9th Street, and at the bottom is Crystal from Simply Being Mommy and Kas from Southern Bella’s Ways to Save!Our shuttles took us a block or two from the event, and wouldn’t you know it, Robert Downey Jr. drove right by with his wife in a convertible Audi surrounded with bike police with license plates reading STARK16! My starstruck mentality kicked in and I wanted to run screaming after the car but I kept it together and we started our walk to the red carpet as a mature group. My eyes bugged out and strained to see all the gorgeous celebrities gracing the carpet. Gwyneth Paltrow looked stunning in a part sheer number. Emily VanCamp from Revenge and Brothers and Sisters was adorable. Don Cheadle looked dashing, and I even got a quick shot Robert Downey Jr. signing autographs for his fans. Well, his eyes and hair made the shot.I had 30 seconds to pose, thanks to Sarah for snapping this shot and Laura from Wheel ‘n Deal Mama for the epic photobomb! 😉It’s like a photo from Where’s Waldo when we grabbed a press shot from FiOS. See me looking quite overwhelmed and confused? We finally made it into the theater, unfortunately we had to surrender our phones and cameras, but the energy was amazing and I tried to soak it all in. Until the beginning of the film we were able to watch a live feed from the carpet on the big screen. Here’s some of what we saw…(photos courtesy of Disney/Marvel)

The movie was brilliant and I’ll let you know more in my upcoming post. The night was something I’ll never forget, someone quick pinch me and let me know I was not dreaming the whole thing! Combine that with lasting friendships and special surprises my week was something people dream about! You have to see the film when it’s released this Friday, May 3!

My trip was hosted by Disney and Marvel, all opinions 100% my own.
