New Movie Releases for the week of 8/22/17

We received these movies free in order to review them. All opinions are our own.

We are excited to share our favorite movie releases that came out today so you can go pick them up – or get them on digital. One is Supergirl: The Complete Second Season and the other is Shimmer and Shine: Magical Pets of Zahramay Falls. Both of these are great shows, so keep reading to learn more about them and how you can get them.

Supergirl is a fun show to watch with my girls. It helps them understand that they can do great things and be amazing, just because they want to and by working hard. I also love that they are integrating Superman into the episodes as well as many other great characters that you will fall in love with! Season 1 and 2 are available to buy and are great additions to your collection.

Supergirl: The Complete Second Season – Own on Blu-ray^TM and DVD 8/22

Having left the safety of being Cat Grant’s assistant at Catco Worldwide Media in order to figure out what she really wants to do, Kara Danvers (Melissa Benoist) continues to work with Hank Henshaw aka Martian Manhunter (David Harewood) and her adoptive sister Alex (Chyler Leigh) at the DEO as Supergirl – protecting the citizens of National City and searching for her missing father Jeremiah (Dean Cain) and the secret research lab Cadmus. Along the way, she will team up with her Kryptonian cousin Kal El – aka Superman (Tyler Hoechlin) – to battle new DC Super-Villains both terrestrial and extraterrestrial, as she strives to balance her personal life with friends/allies James Olsen (Mehcad Brooks), Winn Schott (Jeremy Jordan) and more with her busy life as a new Super Hero in SUPERGIRL Season Two.

My kids have already watched this a couple of times. My 5-year-old loves the cute tales of Shimmer and Shine and even named one of her new stuffed animals Shimmer. The two genies and Leah are fun to watch and keep you entertained through all of their adventures.

Shimmer and Shine: Magical Pets of Zahramay Falls 

The fascinating pets of Zahramay Falls come out to play in the new DVD – Shimmer and Shine: Magical Pets of Zahramay Falls. In this magical DVD collection, viewers are introduced to Shimmer and Shine’s exotic animal friends including a rainbow tiger, a color-changing fox and more! Fans can join their favorite genies-in-training and their fur-ever friends as they compete in a talent show, rescue stolen jewels and swing from vines to cure a case of Dragon Pox. No matter the circumstances, Shimmer and Shine are ready to use teamwork to solve any problems that come their way.

• Untamed Talent – Leah’s Fox, Tala, Nahal, and Zayne all compete in the Zahramay Falls Pet Talent Show to win a wish from Princess Samira. Zeta enters Nazboo in the talent show and cheats to help him win so that she can have the prize for herself, but her plan backfires.
• Pet Bedroom – When Tala and Nahal accidentally get loose in Zahramay Falls, Leah and Parisa must track them down before Shimmer and Shine notice they’re gone.
• Zany Ziffilon – Zac offers to pick a pet for Kaz and wishes up a Ziffilon (part lion, part eagle). The pet isn’t exactly what Kaz imagined; he’s huge, he’s clumsy, and worst of all, he pounces on everything!  When the Ziffilon runs away, the gang must venture out to bring him back before he causes any trouble.
• Now You See Her – After Zeta captures a rare Zahramay fox with color-changing fur, she uses the fur to make an invisibility potion so that she can steal gems from Samira. Now, it’s up to the girls to save Samira’s jewels and give the fox a new home.
• Dragon Pox – Nazboo is sick with a case of Dragon Pox and the only thing that can cure him is a magical dragon pepper from a dragon pepper tree. Leah, Shimmer and Shine must use some clever thinking to get the tree to give up the goods.
• Bungle in the Jungle – Samira sends Shimmer and Shine to find the legendary Jungle Gem which is hidden in an abandoned temple deep in the jungle. Once in the jungle, Leah, Shimmer and Shine, along with Tala and Nahal, find themselves dealing with glittery quicksand, colorful insect creatures and a giant tiger as they hunt for the hidden gem.
• Potion Control – When a potion mixing lesson goes awry and Samira is nowhere to be found, the girls turn to Zeta for help.
• Boom Zahra-Mom – When Zeta accidentally grabs the wrong egg for a potion, a baby bird hatches and thinks Zeta is her mama. The girls must help Zeta return the bird to its nest before the bird’s real mom finds out.
