An African-American woman becomes the unwitting pioneer for multiple medical developments, such as the Polio vaccine, when her cells are harvested to create the first immortal human cell line. Her story, previously lost in history, is brought to life in HBO® Films’ The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks.

It will be available to purchase at major retailers nationwide in addition to online at Amazon.


Movie Synopsis:

In this adaptation of Rebecca Skloot’s critically acclaimed, bestselling nonfiction book of the same name, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks is told through the eyes of Henrietta Lacks’ daughter, Deborah Lacks (Winfrey). The film chronicles her search, along with journalist Rebecca Skloot (Byrne), to learn about the mother she never knew and understand how the unauthorized harvesting of Lacks’ cancerous cells in 1951 led to unprecedented medical breakthroughs, changing countless lives and the face of medicine forever. With a supporting cast that includes Renée Elise Goldsberry, Reg E. Cathey, Courtney B. Vance, Ruben Santiago-Hudson, Leslie Uggams, Reed Birney, Rocky Carroll and John Douglas Thompson, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks is a story of medical arrogance and triumph, race, poverty, and deep friendship between the unlikeliest of people.

The A-list, ensemble cast includes Tony Award-winner Renée Elise Goldsberry, Reg E. Cathey from HBO's The Wire and Oz, and Emmy® winner Courtney B. Vance. The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks is directed by George C. Wolfe, and executive produced by Oprah Winfrey and Alan Ball, the creator, writer, and executive producer of the HBO hit series, True Blood and Six Feet Under.

Our Thoughts:

Having now seen The Immortal Life Of Henrietta Lacks, I absolutely have to go and read the book! Fantastic portrayals of these characters by Oprah Winfrey and Rose Byrne in this true story! The movie's largely told from the journalist's point of view and also showcases Winfrey in one of her best roles yet, playing a complicated woman willing to face down any obstacle to bring her mother's truth to the world. Highly recommend watching it - I plan on reading the book soon!

Book Review - Shattered by Helen Hardt - Release Day Blitz #sponsored #steelbrotherssaga

“The featured product was provided free of charge to facilitate my review, but all opinions are 100% the opinion of the Coupon Savvy Sarah family.

Shattered (Steel Brothers Saga #7) by Helen Hardt

Release Date: 29th August
#steelbrotherssaga


Buy the book here: Paperback | Kindle

Synopsis:

Ryan Steel is known in Snow Creek as the handsomest Steel brother with the most jovial personality. Now that his busy grape harvest and winemaking season is over, he's happy to spend time with his family and help his brothers, Talon and Jonah, celebrate their impending nuptials. The Steels are taking a well-deserved break from the conspiracy surrounding them...until an unlikely woman and a long-buried secret shatter Ryan's world.

Detective Ruby Lee has been on her own since she was fifteen. When her past collides with the Steel family's mysteries, she's determined to find the truth. She has her own issues, and she's not looking for a relationship, despite her all-consuming attraction to Ryan Steel. The gorgeous dark-haired man gets under her skin anyway...and he needs her.

Together they explore both of their histories, but those pasts could cost them a future.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Our Thoughts:
Shattered is the 7th book in the Steel Brother Saga and is not a stand alone book. I have read all the 6 prior books and they have brilliantly left off with a cliffhanger, plot twist or surprise leaving the reader wanting more. Shattered continues on the story of the 3 Steel brothers with Ryan at the forefront of this book telling the story from his perspective and then Ruby's perspective, a detective that crosses paths with Ryan and becomes his love interest. Shattered manages to leave off with 2 "oh my goodness" moments at the end for both Ryan and Ruby....I cannot wait to get my hands on the next book Twisted when it comes out in December.

Star Wars Rebels: Complete Season Three delivers all 22 action-packed episodes of the hit CG animated series’ third season, plus exclusive, never-before-seen bonus material on Blu-ray and DVD! The story threads begin to tighten in this thrilling season of Star Wars Rebels, drawing connections to The Clone Wars, Rogue One and the original Star Wars trilogy into the series’ epic storyline.

Season Three Synopsis:

Having established a secret base on Atollon, the Ghost crew, now led by a more powerful Ezra, strengthens the Rebel fleet by acquiring new resources and recruits eager to stand against the Empire. However, the Imperial efforts to eliminate the Rebellion are now being led by the coldly analytical Grand Admiral Thrawn, whose strategic, tactical and cultural insights make him a threat unlike any they have faced before. Ezra and Sabine must take on new roles and challenges as the Rebels prepare for their biggest mission yet – a direct assault on the Empire.

Here is the Star Wars Rebels: Complete Season Three Trailer:



Our Thoughts:

What we really loved (especially us adults) is that as this series has progressed, it has "improved with age"! The characters that are now well established with fans are drawing us closer to the original Star Wars that my husband and I grew up with - plus it starts to tie in with Rogue One (which we loved as well)! If you are a Star Wars fan - you must check out this series!

“The Lion King” Roars into the Walt Disney Signature Collection on Blu-ray Aug. 29! #Sponsored #TheLionKing #Disney

“The featured product was provided free of charge to facilitate my review, but all opinions are 100% the opinion of the Coupon Savvy Sarah family. Please note that your experiences with products featured here may vary from ours. This post may contain affiliate links and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on my links.”


It was announced recently at D23 Expo that one of the biggest animated films in history — “The Lion King” — joins the highly celebrated Walt Disney Signature Collection. The coming-of-age masterpiece, filled with humor and heart, breathtaking animation and soul-stirring Academy Award®–winning music (1994: Best Original Score and Best Original Song, “Can You Feel the Love Tonight”), arrived on Digital on Aug. 15 and on Blu-ray and DVD on Aug. 29. You will be able to purchase this Signature Collection Edition at major retailers nationwide in addition to online at Amazon.


Audiences will fall in love all over again with the treasured classic, and a new generation of fans will laugh with Timon and Pumbaa, cry with Simba and Mufasa, burst into song, and find their place in the “Circle of Life.” The Walt Disney Signature Collection release includes over three hours of classic bonus material and exclusive, brand new features inviting viewers to sing along with the film’s award-winning music, observe recording sessions, step inside the story room, witness the evolution of a villain, and join Nathan Lane (voice of Timon) and Matthew Broderick (voice of Adult Simba) for an extended conversation regarding the legacy of “The Lion King.”


The Lion King” follows the adventures of Simba, a feisty lion cub who cannot wait to be king, as he searches for his destiny in the great “Circle of Life.” The film earned a Golden Globe® for Best Motion Picture—Comedy or Musical and inspired a Tony Award®-winning Broadway musical that is currently the third longest-running musical in Broadway history. In 2019, a reimagined live-action film, helmed by Jon Favreau, will delight audiences with the thrilling retelling of the original tale utilizing groundbreaking technological advances—as only Disney can do.

Our Thoughts:

I remember watching The Lion King the year I graduated high school. I loved it then and I love it even more now as a parent rewatching it with her teenage daughter who is slowly coming of age and learning life's lessons. The bonus features like the sing a long version were so cute - my nieces loved them (And yes I may have sang along too - Hakuna Matata and all). If you don't already have The Lion King in your movie library - I highly suggest buying it now with all the special bonus features that come with it!
