Movies

What happens when two kids -- a boy and a girl from two different cultures who think they're destined for a boring vacation -- meet up with each other on a trip to an archaeology dig in China with each of their parents? That's the premise of The Dragon Pearl (2011), a family adventure mystery just released on VOD View on Demand and DVD and Blu-ray exclusively available now at Walmart with broader availability on DVD/Blu-ray on August 20, 2013.

Viewers will quickly learn this film turns out to be anything but an unexciting ho-hum sojourn. From Ketchup Entertainment, this picture stars Irish actor Sam Neill who Jurassic Park fans will likely recognize. The girl (Ling) and boy (Josh) are played by Li Lin Jin and Louis Corbett, respectively. 

As the adventure unfolds the two curious young teens find themselves in a mystical temple. According to an ancient legend this mythical Chinese dragon needs its life force, emanating by a sacred pearl hidden somewhere deep inside a dark and secret chamer. It's up to the youngsters, against the better judgement of their parents, to fight evil to find regain control over the magical pearl and then return it to who it really belongs to.

Watch this clip to see why this film is so enchanting and magical...

Teenager Summer Bucket List Teen Tuesday Post by Rebecca Elspas

Teen Tuesday

by Rebecca Elspas, Teen Blogger

We all know that one day every student looks forward to, counts down, and cannot wait to happen. THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL!! Mine, June 11^th, was the best day ever, walking out of my crazy hard chemistry final screaming “I’m done! No more pencils no more books, no more teacher’s dirty looks!” (Creds to Alice Cooper).

I said my goodbyes and hit the road to an entire two months of freedom, waking up whenever, going wherever I want with my friends, and finally getting a chance to do stuff I’ve always wanted to. So I let my inner OCD choose how to organize my summer. (I’m not the most organized person normally).

Recalling the movie The Bucket List from 2007, I felt like it was such a good idea to make one, but for summer, that I got to work right away. Pinterest helped me here. I finally made a board in my empty Pinterest account, naming it Summer 2013 Bucket List. You can check it out here.

With things like shop at a flea market, make a rainbow cake, get super flexible, have a glitter fight, a campfire cookout, and hiking somewhere really far up, just to name a few, I am steadily repining more and more fun ideas. I actually am so determined to do all of them! Already got a couple down.

Crushed it.
