It’s an inspirational tale for the whole family!
Soccer superstar Alex Morgan scores her movie debut with Warner Bros. Home Entertainment in the full-length feature film Alex & Me on Blu-ray & DVD June 19, 2018. Also featuring Nickelodeon star Siena Agudong (Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn and the upcoming Star Falls), the film follows the uplifting story of a young female athlete who learns how you need passion, determination and self-worth to make all your dreams come true.
Teenager Reagan Willis (Agudong) has one dream – to play soccer like her hero, Alex Morgan. Her bedroom is a shrine to all things Alex, including a life-size poster of the Olympic gold medalist. Yet in the Willis house, Reagan lives in the shadow of her prep football superstar brother, Logan. When Reagan fails to make the cut of the premiere local soccer club team and is humiliated by her rival Claire, she’s certain her ship has sailed. But after accidentally hitting her head, Reagan’s poster of Alex Morgan suddenly comes to life and everything changes!
An Olympic Gold Medalist and FIFA Women’s World Cup champion with a penchant for goal scoring, Alex Morgan is one of the top soccer players on the planet, currently playing forward for the United States Women’s National Team and the Orlando Pride of the National Women’s Soccer League. Away from the field, Morgan is also an accomplished author of “The Kicks” series, a collection of chapter books filled with wonderful messages of empowerment for young girls. The first The Kicks book, “Saving the Team,” debuted at No. 7 on the New York Times Best Seller list.
Eric Champnella (Thunderstruck, Mr. 3000, Eddie) wrote the Alex & Me screenplay and is also making his full-length feature debut as the film’s director. Alex Morgan serves as co-producer. Producers are Mike Karz (Blended) and William Bindley (Mother’s Day). Todd Williams (The Illusionist) is the executive producer.
Jerry Trainor (iCarly) also stars as Nigel, a less-than-reliable youth soccer coach, alongside Matt Cornett (Bella and the Bulldogs) as Reagan’s brother, Logan; Colin Critchley (Legends of the Hidden Temple) as Reagan’s soccer-playing pal, Ben; Chuiti Tiu (Nashville) as Reagan’s mother, Ann Wills; and Jim Klock (True Detective, Scream Queens) as Reagan’s father (and biggest fan), Joe Wills. Jessica Treska (HBO’s upcoming Sharp Objects) plays Reagan’s arch-rival, Claire.
Alex & Me will be available on Blu-ray (SRP $24.98), DVD (SRP $19.98) and Digital (SRP $14.99).

Warner Bros. Home Entertainment provided me with a free copy of the Blu-ray I reviewed in this Blog Post. The opinions I share are my own.
AYSO Soccer is how all my kids started playing soccer and it’s a great way to introduce them to the sport. Getting together in the community and playing soccer is fun for the parents and the kids, they had great coaches and made lifelong memories playing a game that showed them early on how to work as a team.

My preschool age son is a sports fanatic. At a year old he was playing basketball and by 2 he was dribbling like a pro and making baskets in a full size hoop in the driveway. It’s no wonder when we were expecting his little brother that we did his new “big boy” room in a sports theme. Recently I was contacted by 3D Light FX about a new product line of sport themed lighting. It was a no brainer that I would jump at their offer to review the lights. I choose the basketball light, which is no surprise. It arrived quickly and was super easy to install. The first thing was to put the decal template on the wall. If you have ever put up a vinyl wall decal, this is very much the same process. You simply peel the paper off the tacky part of the decal and affix to the wall. Then you rub the paper covering the front of the decal so it transfers from the paper to the wall. I wish they had included a plastic tool that comes in other vinyl decal kits because that would make it easier for someone who has never done this or does not have a tool like that. I have one but I ended up using a small board book of my sons as a tool to smooth the paper and transfer the decal. Then you carefully start at a corner and peel back. If you see that any portion is not affixed to the wall, just put the paper back and rub that part and then lift the paper.
When you remove the paper you will have a nice decal with a template for the light. You install the batteries in the light and then install the anchor screws where shown to attach the light to the wall. Simply switch it on for a neat effect in any room. The light comes in soccer ball, basketball, football,hockey puck and baseball styles. If you are looking for a great accent light for a sports nut or little boy or girl’s room, this light is perfect. I also think these lights would be perfect to mount on the wall with bunk beds so that they can each have a light that is close for them to turn on and off and creates a cozy light. Great in a game room or Man Cave as well.
