Witch Mountain  

They just released them on DVD, so you can buy them online, and maybe they are available at Netflix or Blockbuster online.

I looked at them at Best Buy, and almost bought them Friday. But then the lady the worked there told me she had heard that when this movie came out on DVD Disney was going to do a boxed set with the original and the remake together. If this is the case, then I'm going to wait, because that's something I'd like to have.

Hey that sounds great. I haven't been to the Redbox to see what new movies have come out lately. I am hoping to be able to see this one soon.

Both of my girls have been to see the remake and tell me that it is really great. Kristen said the graphics were just amazing. She hasn't seen the original. I think we're going to see if Movie Gallery has a copy of it that we can rent. I'm waiting to see if Disney does a collector's set before I purchase it.

Both of my girls have seen the remake and said it's a great movie. We were going to rent the original this weekend, and they were all gone from our movie gallery near the house. The lady said since the new movie had come out she couldn't keep the old one in the store!

Lauren has read a the books. Kristen isn't much of a reader. They have not seen the originals. We were going to get it this weekend, and three video stores were sold out of it!
I am thinking of going to the library and renting the books and re-reading them. It's been a long time since I have.

I'm a big fan of Alexander Key. Probably my fav is The Forgotten Door.

Here's a list of the books he wrote:

The Red Eagle (1930)
Liberty or Death (1936)
Sprockets: a Little Robot (1963) (read it)
Rivets and Sprockets (1964) (read it)
The Forgotten Door (1965) (read it)
Bolts: a Robot Dog (1966)
Mystery of the Sassafras Chair (1968)
Escape to Witch Mountain (1968) (read it)
Return From Witch Mountain (1968) (read it)
The Golden Enemy (1969)
The Incredible Tide (1970)
Flight to the Lonesome Place (1971)
The Strange White Doves (1972)
The Preposterous Adventures of Swimmer (1973)
The Magic Meadow (1975)
Jagger, the Dog from Elsewhere (1976)
The Sword of Aradel (1977)
The Case of the Vanishing Boy (1979)

I can't honestly say I read the later ones, because I was out of school and in college and then getting jobs and stuff.

They have not seen the old ones. We have talked about renting them and watching both. I wonder if Disney will film a remake of Return to Witch Mountain as well?

I watched a remake of Disturbia Thursday night. My grandmother and I used to watch Alfred Hitchcock every Friday night together. Talk about creepy. My husband came in and started watching, only I neglected to mention that it was Hitchcock. He gets to the end and of course it ends strangely. He went no way!

My husband and I were trying to decide if we want to do a date night and go see this one, or if we want to eat in and rent Marley and Me. I love Owen Wilson, so I definately want to see this one as well. I don't know what we'll do. We're not one for actually going to the movies. It's too expensive.

We just rented Marley and Me last night. It was SO good! Not only was there extreme humor, it was a very heartwarming movie in some ways. It is not a 'chick flick' type movie (in my opinion); I know my son in law really enjoyed it. I laughed so hard lol. I'm an Owen Wilson fan too, and he's really shown a whole lot of different sides to his personality in this one hahaha. As much as I want to see Witch Mountain, I'd watch this one in a heartbeat again! I know what you mean about going to the movies, it's just so danged expensive anymore.

I was surprised that my girls went to see it. Since they're all grown up. They're counting the days down for the new Hannah Montana Movie! Not only them, but their boyfriends as well. I think the four of them are planning to double date and go see it on opening night. You just never know.

I can't say anything to them though. When Monsters Inc, first came out, my husband and I were the only ones there with no children!

im the same way. i love some of the disney movies still. and the picar. (i think thats the new name) im still into dolls and paper dolls. i think thats another reason why i love pogo so much. the minis are like paper dolls guess this old gal never grew up.
