“The Best and the Brightest” kept me laughing the whole time! It goes to show parents will do just about anything to find the best education for their child . The cast did an amazing job with their crazy antics and lines. However, Bridget Regan stole the show! She did a fantastic job as the “crazy ex-girlfriend”! I believe Bridget showed us how diverse she can be in her roles (Robin is very different than Kahlan). Any Bridget fan (or any comedy film lover) will immensely enjoy this film! Go get it! (Thanks again to Lindsey for mine!)

Many thanks to Jess for her infinite patience with us! There is a bit of a story that led to her not getting the DVD ahead of time as I had intended, but instead a few days after it was released. The best laid plans and all that.

Secondly, we have another copy of The Best and the Brightest to give away! As we promised, this contest is only open to non-US residents. (See? We didn’t forget about you.) Want to win? Leave a comment below telling us what project you’d like to see Bridget take on in the future be it more comedy, Wonder Woman, or something else entirely. Contest will close Monday September 5 at midnight and we will announce the winner on Tuesday.

For those of you without a DVD, how would you like to win a copy and do a little press for the movie as well?
Step 1) Follow us on Twitter: @hbe
Step 2) Simply tweet the following: “@BestNBrightest starring @BridgetRegan is out today on DVD! Want to win a copy? Follow @hbe and RT! http://bit.ly/nzJw17″ Or click here to have the status filled in for you.

The contest will end on Wednesday night, 8/17, at midnight central US time and we’ll notify the winner via DM as soon as we can. Contest is open to anyone currently residing on planet Earth. (The shipping to Mars is WAY too expensive. Sorry Martian peeps.) Good luck and happy tweeting!

To enter, simply leave a comment below, one entry per person. We’ll leave the comments open from now until midnight Saturday, July 30, and we’ll announce the winner on Sunday. Because there is a time issue involved, this contest is open to US residents only. (We’ll do another giveaway for our international peeps at a later date.) Good luck!

Our runner up, who’s entry we also loved, will be receiving one of the Legend of the Seeker cards from last year. From Zhang:
Till death do we part.
You are my hope and my strength
Confessed, I oblige.

Thanks to all who entered, they were all awesome!

So, go to movie’s Twitter, which is located here : BestNBrightest or their Facebook here: The Best and the Brightest and check out the stills, decide if you want to use them, or come up with your own entirely original idea. Then send them a message on Twitter or Facebook with the link to your creation. The winner will be voted on by fans and will be posted on the Best and Brightest website as well as being displayed in the lobby for the premier! Good luck, you creative graphic design people out there!

All right people, this will be our last Legend of the Seeker Season 2 DVD contest. All you have to do is write us a Season 2 Haiku. A haiku is a poem consisting of 17 syllables in a 5-7-5 syllable structure.

For example:
Mother Confessor
Never without her Seeker
Always together

I do understand that it’s a bit hard to be season two specific with so few words, as long as it’s generally LotS themed it’s ok. You can post your haiku here in the comments or you can send it to contests [at] herblueeyes.com. The contest will run until Sunday September 26 at midnight central. We’ll announce the winner that Monday so we can be sure to get their DVDs shipped out on Tuesday. As always, if you’d rather have the Amazon gift certificate equivalent or a certificate to download the season from iTunes we’ll happily oblige you. Good luck!
