ETERNALS HEAD TO HOME VIDEO

 Disney provided ageekdaddy.com with a complimentary digital download of the movie Eternals

Have you been to a movie theater lately? To be honest last year because of pandemic concerns, my family only went to see two movies on the silver screen last year ... Cruella and Spider-Man: No Way Home. Unfortunately, seeing Marvel Studios' Eternals in a movie theater was a casualty of our aversion to catching COVID-19.

So, our family of Marvel superhero movie fans is geeked that Eternals is now available to add to your home entertainment library! Marvel Studios' Eternals is now available to stream on Disney+ or purchase to watch digitally on moviesanywhere.com. The movie will also be available on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD on February 15, 2022. 

Eternals is an adventure flick about a group of ancient heroes from beyond the stars who had protected Earth since the dawn of man. When monstrous creatures called Deviants, long thought lost to history, mysteriously return, the Eternals are forced to reunite in order to defend humanity once again.

This film has a fantastic ensemble cast which includes Gemma Chan, Richard Madden, Kumail Nanjiani, Lia McHugh, Brian Tyree Henry, Lauren Ridloff, Barry Keoghan, Don Lee, Kit Harington, Salma Hayek and Angelina Jolie. Eternals is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America and has a runtime of approximately 157 minutes. 

The Eternals originally appeared in a Marvel comic book series created by Jack Kirby that debuted in 1976. These characters are an offshoot of humanity known as Homo immortalis, created one million years ago by the enigmatic alien Celestials to defend Earth with their superhuman powers and abilities. Due to their virtual immortality, Eternals have largely secluded themselves from humans, with their god-like status forming the basis of various mythological figures around the world. A second-tier level of superheroes in popularity within Marvel comics, the movie studio is hoping to elevate their status through the cinematic universe much the same way they did with Guardians of the Universe.

I'm really looking forward to watching the home entertainment release of Eternals. Especially because along with the feature presentation comes the bonus content that comes with home video releases. Never before seen bonus content includes four deleted scenes, behind-the-scenes featurettes on the making of the movie and a gag real. 

It is time for a family movie night! For more information about this film head over to marvel.com

ART OF RACING IN THE RAIN

A Geek Daddy received a free Blu-ray from Fox Home Entertainment

Someone is looking forward to a family movie night watching THE ART OF RACING IN THE RAIN. While you may think it is our puppy because the star of the show is a dog, my wife is probably the most eager to see the movie because its leading man is Milo Ventimiglia. This actor has been in her two favorite television shows, Gilmore Girls and This Is Us. That is ok if he has peeked her interest in seeing THE ART OF RACING IN THE RAIN because she teases me about having a crush on Kate Beckinsale.

Based upon the best selling novel by Garth Stein, THE ART OF RACING IN THE RAIN is a heartwarming tale narrated by a witty and philosophical canine named Enzo (voiced by Kevin Costner). Through this dog's unique insights, Enzo (named after the founder of  the Ferrari automobile brand) helps steer his owners -- racecar driver Denny Swift (Milo Ventimiglia). his wife Eve (Amanda Seyfried), and daughter Zoe (Ryan Kiera Armstrong / Lily Dodsworth-Evans) through obstacles in life with a perspective about friendship, family and unconditional love from the point of view of man's best friend. From 20th Century Fox Studios, THE ART OF RACING IN THE RAIN is now available on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital. It is rated PG by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) for thematic material.



My dog loves to be a co-pilot when I go for a drive! This movie shares the story of how a dog serves as a family's co-pilot through life. Plus Enzo loves to be a co-pilot in Denny's racecar too! A heartwarming story of a dog who dreams of his good deeds leading him to be reincarnated as a human himself someday. It shows how dogs can be wonderful companions during both the ups and downs of people's lives.

The author of the novel this film is based on was a racecar driver himself. Garth Stein won the points championship racing in the Northwest region Spec Miata class in 2003 and actually left racing after crashing while racing in the rain. The title of the book and movie is based upon that crash as well as the family troubles another race car driver Stein knew during his professional driving career dealt with are experiences that are incorporated into the story providing a sense of realism to tale told by a dog. THE ART OF RACING IN THE RAIN is a refreshing drama for families to enjoy together for something to break away from the adventure flicks and comedies that so many of us tend to gravitate to viewing for a movie night at home.
