Win sneak preview passes to Incredibles 2 in Atlanta

Incredibles 2 arrives in theaters on June 15 a full 14 years after the original. It’s different in the fact that the sequel takes place immediately after the first film. The on-film animated characters have only aged a couple of hours and the Parr family is at home eating dinner. One of the bigger plot differences between the two films is that Mr. Incredible is the one staying at home with the kids. Jack-Jack is a toddler and discovering his superpowers while Violet and Dash are busy growing up and being sassy teens or tweens. And Mr. Incredible still has his superpowers and will most likely be roped in to help Elastigirl who was recruited to save the world.

This is a film that we’ve been hot for since the first one came out. To us, it was the most obvious one for a sequel that made sense as a film in the storytelling sense and we’re really looking forward to seeing it.

We’re giving away 5-four packs of tickets to the sneak preview of Incredibles 2 in Atlanta. The sneak is Monday, June 11 and winners will have the tickets emailed to them. To enter just RT this:

Win a pair of ticket to the Death Wish sneak preview in Atlanta

To some, Bruce Willis is finally playing the character that they have been waiting for him to portray. Paul Kersey, the titular character in the classic movie series Death Wish is back, with a shaven head and more of a grin than you last saw the character in Death Wish 4: The Crackdown. When that film came out in 1987 it was a creaky franchise that had countless puns about its aging character. The year after that a little film called Die Hard came out that changed the landscape of action films. The sneak preview is Wednesday, February 28 in Atlanta at Atlantic Station. The giveaway ends Tuesday, February 27 at 9 PM. We’ll email the tickets to the winners that night. To enter just leave a comment on this post or on the YouTube video.

It was also about that time of year that the vengeance sub-genre of films faded away. Clint Eastwood owned that genre for years and the Paul Kersey character is indeed Dirty Harry’s kindred, non-law enforcement kindred spirit. When you see Death Wish you will see lots of violence, bad guys getting their cumupins and several well placed puns.

Death Wish is back with Eli Roth taking control of the camera and Chicago acting as the template for Willis to enact revenge. This film is rated R for bloody violence and language. The sneak preview for Death Wish in Atlanta is Wednesday, February 28 and we’re giving away three pairs of passes.

A conversation with AMA Supercross rider Weston Peick

Have you or your family ever been to Supercross? It’s madness, controlled chaos and looks like scenes that were too dangerous to put in Mad Mad: Fury Road. AMA Supercross can also be a little confusing for those first timers. Admittedly, I had no idea what structure the race had or how the racers knew exactly what to do. Even for those that know nothing about the sport, this fact is clear: Supercross is an event that the whole family will enjoy.

To get me up to speed on exactly how a Supercross race works I spoke with nine year veteran of the circuit, Weston Peick. Peick races for Joe Gibbs Racing, has 8 career top-five finishes (450XS) and many other career highlights. Our interview with Weston Peick provides a general overview of Supercross, his non-traditional path to the sport and what it takes to succeed.

You’ve heard the radio commercials, seen them on television and watched countless parodies-including our favorite, “Bart the Daredevil” from episode 8, season 2 of The Simpsons. Monster Jam is a ritual in our house and we were pumped to interview Jim Koehler. Koehler drives Avenger, is part of Team Scream and is a legend in the Monster Jam circuit. He’s been competing since 1997, loves to drive on two wheels and is a class act, as you’ll hear in the interview.

What is Monster Jam? What changes have been made since last year? What’s his favorite part of the race? If you’re a Monster Jam novice this interview will answer all of those questions. If you’re a diehard fan of Jim Koehler then you want to hear the enthusiasm in his voice as he talks about one of the best family events you’ll attend all year.

Bonus: at the Monster Jam website you can find coupons to upcoming races, as well as, videos, stats or all level of information for any fan.

Win 4 tickets to Monster Jam in Atlanta

I was like some of you too regarding my opinion of Monster Jam. I don’t like racing. I don’t have a truck. A crowded, noisy environment is no place that’s going to be family friendly is what I thought. I was wrong. Our first Monster Jam visit was a couple years ago; we’ve been back every year since then and it genuinely marks one of the things we look forward to each season it comes around.

We’re giving away a family 4-pack of tickets to Monster Jam in Atlanta at Mercedez-Benz Stadium on February 25, 2018. This is a fast giveaway, we are picking the winner 11:59 PM on February 11, so enter quickly. Entering is simple, just leave a comment on the video and we’ll pick one winner who will get the four tickets.

Monster Jam really is incredibly family friendly. Hint: go early so that you can walk the field area. Everyone will be fascinated by the size, scope and detail that go into these vehicles. Kids can sit inside the wheels of the monster trucks, touch the wheels and more. Some of the drivers will also be down there to sign autographs, take photos and meet the fans.

Another bonus of Monster Jam is that it’s amazingly affordable. For example, when Monster Jam is in Atlanta tickets are as low as $32. Ticket prices vary according to where you live, but regardless of where that is, this can be six hours worth of entertainment that do not disappoint.

Win a family 4-pack of tickets to a sneak of Peter Rabbit in Atlanta

One of the most anticipated family films of the year is Peter Rabbit. The books from Beatrix Potter are timeless classics about the playful; some might even say rebellious rabbit who just wants to get into the farmer’s garden. Peter Rabbit has the voices of Margot Robbie, Daisy Ridley, Rose Byrne, Sam Neil and James Corden as the main rabbit himself.

We’ll review the film in full once we’ve seen it. The trailer looks like the kind of stuff that elementary kids will go ape over. It has lots of animals goofing around and a cartoonish villain. I’m interested to see it for Domhall Gleeson also. He plays a young Mr. McGregor in this film and he absolutely stole every scene in the last film he was in, The Last Jedi. In Peter Rabbit you’ve got General Hux and Rey, reuniting, all be it in rabbit and human form.

The sneak preview for this showing of Peter Rabbit happens February 3 at 10:00AM in Atlanta. We’re giving away two 4-packs of tickets so that you can bring all of the kids, or invite a young friend or two. To enter just leave a comment below and you’re in it to win it.
