The Virginian available TODAY on Blu-ray and DVD!

I received a copy of The Virginian on DVD for the purpose of this review.



Grammy Award® winning country music artist Trace Adkins (The Lincoln Lawyer) and Golden Globe® winner Ron Perlman (“Sons of Anarchy,” Pacific Rim) star in the all-new gun-slinging western The Virginian, will be locked and loaded on Blu-ray and DVD exclusively at Walmart and Sam’s Club, as well as digitally everywhere, January 7 from Cinedigm and Nasser Entertainment.  Based on the long-running classic television series “The Virginian,” this all-new adaptation is directed by Thomas Makowski (WWJD: What Would Jesus Do?) and also features Brendan Penny (“Supernatural”).

A riveting and action-packed western, The Virginian tells the story of a handsome and enigmatic enforcer (Adkins) for a cattle baron (Ron Perlman) in Wyoming, who took him in after his parents were killed.  Set against the backdrop of the Old West, the story of the Virginian’s past unfolds amidst a wealth of corruption, deception and gunplay, and the drama lays bare an unwritten law of the times: justice is a loaded gun. Packed with rustlers, romance and revenge, The Virginian rides onto Blu-ray and DVD for the suggested retail prices of $19.97 and $14.93, respectively. The film will also be available digitally everywhere.

Awesome Baby Monitor!



This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of VTech Communications for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

A new baby is amazing, but it can be really hard to leave them alone out of sight. One thing that I was super nervous about was bringing home Luke (who was in the NICU). I wish I would have had a great video baby monitor like the VTech VM333 Safe & Sound®!

Most baby monitors offer a way to listen in on your baby. While this is helpful, nothing beats seeing your little one sleeping safely. The VTech VM333 goes even beyond being able to see your baby. This monitor allows you to move the camera remotely so you can see exactly what you want to see as well as allow you to zoom in to get a closer look! And, I can't forget to mention that you can see just fine in the dark as well!
This monitor also allows two way communication. You can actually let your baby know you are on your way when s/he wakes up! The voice clarity is surprisingly good, and you can actually tell who is talking (our children can clearly tell who is speaking from the parent unit). This is great because I have used other monitors that are more "walkie-talkie" sounding and less realistic.



The parent unit can connect with up to four cameras. We only received one camera, so I didn't get to try out this feature, but I can definitely see how it would be valuable to have one in the nursery and one in the family room, or wherever the baby may be.

The only issue we have run into is when it is darker outside and the light isn't on inside. The light from the window is enough to switch the screen to full color while angled near the window, but when we turn it away from the window it suddenly flashes and blinks between night vision and full color. This stops of course when we turn on the light or close a curtain.

Another thing to note is that you cannot hear what is going on when you are speaking to the child (or pressing the buttons to move the camera). The incoming audio is muted during that time so if you want to hear what the child is doing be quick with the buttons and don't hold them down longer than needed.

Overall we have been very impressed with the Safe & Sound® monitor and we even plan on getting another camera unit in the near future!
