Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel” is available on DVD, Blu-ray and Digital Download at retailers all over the US. You can buy it now here! There is also a fun bonus disk that comes with the DVD. It is called, "The Squeak Along."



The movie "Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel" is about the adorable little chipmunks named: Alvin, Simon and Theodore. Just like the Alvin and the Chipmunks movie, the music is strangely appealing and the characters are very cute, the action is comical, and the life lessons are what real kids may run into while growing up. I remember watching Alvin and the Chipmunks at my grandma’s house, and loving their Christmas songs as a child. Now it’s my daughter’s chance to get to know them.

I’m thinking about buying the double DVD pack for my kids, my kids loved the first Alvin and the Chipmunks and they loved this one as well and I know that your kids will as well. I also found a fun website http://www.munkyourself.com where you can create a chipmunk, dress them up anyway you want and attach a song to it, then watch it perform! Also visit More Munk Mayhem your kids will love it.

It’s time for your kids to have the kind of fun that you had as a child with Alvin, Simon and Theodore! Do not forget to visit http://www.foxfamilyflicks.com for more fun.

Karthik speaks on Raavan!

By now, we all know that yesteryear heart-throb Karthik is making a comeback in Mani Ratnam’s much-awaited Raavan. “I was absent from the big screen for quite some time and I was looking forward to doing a film with a good director. That’s when I got a call from Mani’s office. I heard the story over the phone and immediately accepted the project. I wanted to concentrate only on Raavan and didn’t want to sign any other film until its release,” the Agni Natchataram actor said to a leading English daily.

“But when I was shooting in Mumbai, Prabhu met me and asked if I could do a role in A. Venkatesh’s Maanja Velu with Arun Vijay. He also screened Malai Malai for me and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Meanwhile, P. Vasu also approached me for Puli Vesham. Before I realized what was happening, I had signed three beautiful projects! In the Tamil version of Raavan, I play a jovial character, which Govinda will be playing in the Hindi version. In Maanja Velu, I play Arun Vijay’s brother and in Puli Vesham, I play an encounter specialist,” he added.

“Mani and I go a long way back. He’s my brother’s friend and when we did Mouna Raagam, our bond strengthened. In fact, I was a last-minute addition to the cast. I shot for just a week and that too, after the entire film was wrapped up. I still can’t forget the fun I had while filming the Mr. Chandramouli scene, which was shot in a small restaurant in Nungambakkam. People often recalled that dialogue when they had to introduce me on stage at events. When Mani signed me for Raavan, I told him it was my big comeback and thanked him for the opportunity. And Mani shot back, 'Are you crazy? You belong here,' ” the actor recalled.

“I was going through an emotional and financial crisis. I was a complete wreck and couldn’t concentrate. It was partly my fault too. But now, I want to put it all behind and start concentrating on my future. I read reports that my son Gautham will debut in the remake of Alaigal Oivathillai with Radha’s daughter Karthika. But, he’s still in college and has no experience or exposure yet,” Karthik said.
