One of the most quoted movies of the 2000s races back into theaters in celebration of its 20th anniversary! TALLADEGA NIGHTS: THE BALLAD OF RICKY BOBBY will have a three-night theatrical re-release at select locations across the United States on June 28, June 30 and July 1, 2026. Columbia Pictures invites audiences to revisit the world of stock car racing on the big screen in this action comedy starring Will Ferrell.
NASCAR stock car racing sensation Ricky Bobby (Will Ferrell) is a national hero because of his "win at all costs" approach. He and his loyal racing partner, childhood friend Cal Naughton Jr. (John C. Reilly), are a fearless duo -- known as "Thunder" and "Lightning" by their fans for their ability to finish so many races in the #1 and #2 positions, with Cal always in second place. When flamboyant French Formula One driver Jean Girard (Sacha Baron Cohen) challenges "Thunder" and "Lightning" for the supremacy of NASCAR, Ricky Bobby must face his own demons and fight Girard for the right to be known as racing's top driver.
This 2006 film is rated PG-13. This limited engagement release will not include any additional or enhanced footage or bonus content, but it will provide a chance to see a flick that many people have probably only seen on television as it was originally filmed to be seen on the silver screen of a movie theater. Shake & Bake! I'm looking forward to a family movie night at a theater to see this!
I love the comedy-style JUMANJI movies starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Kevin Hart and Jack Black that were a parody of action/adventure films. So, I'm geeked that Jack Black is heading back to the jungle, this time joined by Paul Rudd and Steve Zahn, in a spoof of horror flicks! ANACONDA slithers into movie theaters at Christmas.
Doug (Jack Black) and Griff (Paul Rudd) have been best friends since they were kids, and have always dreamed of remaking their all-time favorite movie: the cinematic "classic" Anaconda. When a midlife crisis pushes them to finally go for it, they head deep into the Amazon to start filming. But things get real when an actual giant anaconda appears, turning their comically chaotic movie set into a deadly situation. The movie they’re dying to make? It might just get them killed!
With the release of the ANACONDA trailer, the countdown has begun for the film's release. Do you think the movie will be big hit or a giant flop?

I made a big mistake drinking a large ICEE during a three hour plus movie that submerses its audience into watery settings and not think having to escape the theatre for a pee break would be inevitable. Fortunately, I can see the scenes missed while in the movie theatre bathroom plus three more hours of bonus extras now that AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATERis available on digital to add to home entertainment video libraries. This science fiction flick that received four Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, is available from all major digital retailers including Prime Video, Apple TV, Vudu and Movies Anywhere.
To celebrate the digital release of Avatar: The Way of Water, fans can continue to participate in the “Keep Our Oceans Amazing'' campaign, which launched with the theatrical release of the movie. This initiative supports The Nature Conservancy (TNC) and its work to protect 10 of our oceans’ amazing animals and their habitats, connected to the beauty of Pandora. From now through July 31, 2023, fans can create their very own Avatar-inspired ocean creature. For every creature created in the Virtual Pandoran Ocean, Disney U.S. will give $5 to TNC U.S. to help them achieve their global goal of protecting 10 percent of the ocean by 2030.
Avatar: The Way of Water reaches new heights and explores undiscovered depths as James Cameron returns to the world of Pandora in this emotionally packed action adventure. Set more than a decade after the events of the first Avatar film, The Way of Water launches the story of the Sully family (Jake, Neytiri, and their kids), the trouble that follows them, the lengths they go to keep each other safe, the battles they fight to stay alive, and the tragedies they endure. All of this against the breathtaking backdrop of Pandora, where audiences are introduced to new Na’vi cultures and a range of exotic sea creatures that populate the majestic oceans. Nominated for numerous Academy Awards® including Best Picture, the James Cameron-directed film became the third highest-grossing box office film of all-time and set a new benchmark for visual effects.
AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for sequences of strong violence and intense action, partial nudity, and some strong language. It has a runtime of approximately 192 minutes. Bonus content for the home video digital release include:

IMAX-exclusive 1.90 aspect ratio, which provides up to 26% more picture. In addition to more picture, Lightyear in IMAX has been digitally re-mastered into the image and sound quality of The IMAX Experience® with proprietary IMAX DMR® (Digital Re-mastering) technology, coupling crystal-clear images with IMAX’s customized theatre geometry and powerful digital audio, making for an incredible moviegoing experience.
A sci-fi action adventure and the definitive origin story of Buzz Lightyear (voice of Chris Evans), the hero who inspired the toy, “Lightyear” follows the legendary Space Ranger on an intergalactic adventure alongside a group of ambitious recruits (voices of Keke Palmer, Dale Soules and Taika Waititi), and his robot companion Sox (voice of Peter Sohn). Also joining the cast are Uzo Aduba, James Brolin, Mary McDonald-Lewis, Efren Ramirez and Isiah Whitlock Jr. Directed by Angus MacLane (co-director “Finding Dory”) and produced by Galyn Susman (“Toy Story That Time Forgot”), “Lightyear” releases June 17, 2022.

Belgian sleuth Hercule Poirot’s spectacular Egyptian vacation aboard a river boat becomes a terrifying search for a murderer after a picture-perfect couple’s honeymoon is cut tragically short.

Death on the Nile: Novel to Film – Explore the new vision for Agatha Christie’s classic novel DEATH ON THE NILE, and how Kenneth Branagh and screenwriter Michael Green collaborated with Christie’s estate to bring a new twist to this story of love and murder.
Agatha Christie: Travel Can Be Murder – The story behind the book connects with Christie’s own love of travel, and especially Egypt and its secrets. Her legacy continues through her family and new generations of filmmakers and actors, all at once contributing to the immortality of her novels.
Design on the Nile – The setting, the costumes, the photography, all contribute to the Agatha Christie touch. We take a fun tour of this “ship of suspects” and learn details about the overall look and design of everything from the characters to the environment.
Branagh/Poirot – Kenneth Branagh is a one-of-a-kind artist who can switch hats with exceptional skill, playing Poirot one moment and directing the next. This piece pays tribute to Branagh’s ability to stay connected to his cast and creative team through it all.
Universal Pictures Home Entertainment provided ageekdaddy.com with a free digital code to view SING 2. Opinions expressed are honest and my own.
My family really enjoyed SING, the 2016 animated movie from ILLUMINATION (the studio also behind Despicable Me & Secret Life of Pets) about a struggling theater owner who assembles a loveable group of misfits to compete in a talent competition with the goal of raising enough money to save the building from having its mortgage foreclosed by the bank. We are GEEKED that a sequel has been released and is now available to add to your home entertainment library; but really have six years gone by already?! Wow how time flies!
In 2022's SING 2, The act that has arisen from the SING talent show is the talk of the town. Moon Theater is the most successful entertainment venue in Calatonia. But that isn't enough for its owner Buster Moon! He wants his singing troupe to be world famous by performing in the glamorous theaters of Redshore City's glamorous theaters. So, they hit the road to take their act to a new level of sucess.
Just one problem ... they need a state to perform on. Buster Moon though has an answer for that by talking a casino mogul to sponsor their show at his theater in Redshore City. There is a hitch though, Moon promises that Clay Calloway a reclusive rock star who hasn't performed in decades is in the cast even though the ever-optimistic koala has never met him. Will the show go on?!
SING 2 is filled with comedic moments and a delightful musical soundtrack complimenting an entertaining story making this all ages appropriate flick an excellent selection for a family movie night. I was particularly geeked about the energetic sci-fi themed musical that Buster Moon is attempting to stage. This science fiction fan appreciated the astronaut and alien themes we see as Moon's crew plans and performs their Broadway-style show. That show along with the exploits it takes to get it on stage earns SING 2 a Geek Daddy nod of approval.
SING 2 is available now on Digital and debuts March 29 on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD. The movie is rated PG by the Motion Picture Association of America based on rude material and mild peril/violence. The show has a runtime of one hour, forty-nine minutes and forty seconds.
Of course, as home video releases are known for SING 2 includes bonus content in addition to the theatrical release. Added content on the Digital, 4k Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD includes 2 never-before-seen mini movies with some of your favorite characters, sing-alongs to the hit songs from the film, a dance-along with renowned choreographer Sherrie Silver, outtakes with the star-studded cast and more interactive fun. There is a lot of praise to be sung about the home video release of SING 2.
The cast of SING 2 includes Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon, Scarlett Johansson, Taron Egerton, Bobby Cannavale, Tori Kelly, Nick Kroll, Pharrell Williams, Halsey, Letitia Wright, Jennifer Saunders, Nick Offerman and Bono and the movie features an original score by Joby Talbot.

In Marvel's Eternals movie, the heroic Gilgamesh is not only one of the most powerful warriors in this team of superpowered beings but also their best cook. In addition to seeing him battle the monstrous Deviants, the movie highlights him baking a pie. Courtesy of the Feast of Fiction cooking show, hosts Jimmy Wong and Ashley Adams share with us how recreate Gilgamesh's blueberry pie recipe as seen in Eternals.
Gilgamesh is a kind soul, but someone you absolutely don't want to mess with. Kinda reminds me of the Best Man at my wedding! Anyhow with his extraordinary strength combined with the ability to utilize cosmic energy to create a powerful exoskeleton around his arms and fists Gilgamesh is a force to be reckoned with. He is someone you much rather would have as your friend than a foe.
`
Eternals is now available on Digital, 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD. Gilgamesh's Blueberry Pie would make a sweet treat to snack on while enjoying Eternals for a family movie night. Enjoy the recipe!
An unexpected tragedy forces the Eternals, ancient aliens who have been living on Earth in secret for thousands of years, out of the shadows to reunite against mankind's most ancient enemy, the Deviants.

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
