CENTURY CITY, CALIF. – Emmy® and Golden Globe® winner Kiefer Sutherland (TV’s “24”) comes face-to-face with the ultimate forces of evil in Mirrors, the deadliest horror film to look you in the face from the renowned director of The Hills Have Eyes, available on DVD and Blu-ray Disc (BD) January 13th from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. Dealing with post-traumatic stress syndrome, a former cop takes a job as a night watchman at an old luxury department store that was burned in a large fire. Soon after taking the job, he is haunted by horrific visions in the large mirrors of the store. Beyond projecting gruesome images of the past, the mirrors appear to be manipulating reality. As he investigates the visions, he realizes the malevolent, otherworldly force is using reflections as a gateway to terrorize him and his family. If he has any hope of saving his family, he must uncover the truth behind the mirrors. Written and directed by Alexandre Aja (The Hills Have Eyes, P2, High Tension), Mirrors also co-stars Amy Smart (Crank) and Paula Patton (Déjà vu, Hitch).
Featuring one of the most iconic, shocking and gory “kill scenes” ever put on film, the Mirrors DVD unleashes a new fear with a bloodier unrated cut of the film too terrifying for theaters. Additional DVD bonus features include an in-depth look into the myths and mythology behind mirrors, behind-the-scenes making-of featurette, deleted scenes plus a new chilling alternate ending. The Mirrors Blu-ray Disc features all of the standard-def DVD content plus BD-Exclusive elements including picture-in-picture director commentary, animated storyboard sequence, revealing character backstory featurette and a Digital Copy movie file for portable media players.

With young kids I feel patience and understanding and making a concerted effort to take an interest in their activities.
spend as much time as you can with your kids, that’s what they really want!
Do lots of different projects, games, crafts, baking, playing dates with your children to create memories.
Open your ears, listen, be there but don’t be a shadow, let them learn their mistakes with guidance not demandness.
Listen, Take an active role in their schooling and sports, and to just be there with them.
Spend time with them. Listen. Be a part of their lives and mainly LOVE them
You should listen and talk to your kids with wisdom and compassion. Please accept my entry. Thank you.
You should participate in your child’s life more, and don’t be so quick to judge. Always show an open mind and heart to your children. Love is the ultimate answer to all of their questions, so be easy on them. Most important of all, be their friend and NEVER betray your child’s trust.
I think we all want to be better parents than our parents were, and for me that means participating more in my child’s life. Encouraging their interests and actually talking to them and making them feel like they are an important member of the family.
Do what’s best for your kids, even if you think it’s makes you the bad guy.
Take an active role in your childs education
My son & I really want to see this. We watch all movies and tv together so they can ask questions.
don’t be afraid of being the parent. You don’t have to b their best buddy all the time but you do have to be the praet.
Here’s a tip – stay out of the mirror – don’t worry so much about your appearance, and spend time with your kids, and please teach them not to spend too much time looking in the mirror making sure every little hair is in place. This is such a detriment to them when they’re older.
Don’t forget, they are the kids and you are the parent.
Just be genuine. Talk to them, not at them.
Show an interest in what your kids are doing and let them know you love them most of all. Try to give them the freedom to make their own choices to an extent, but keep a watchful eye on what’s happening and don’t be afraid to say no when you really know you need to place some limits for their own safety. It’s a hard balancing act. Take the time to enjoy your kids too. The time goes all to fast and before you know it they are grown and gone. So don’t be afraid to let some dust collect and go on adventures with your children. The dust will wait, but your kids will not. Make many good memories for them to carry with them for a lifetime.

Stay involved in your child’s personal life!!
A good parent…always has time for their children, “tries” to listen before, passing judgement, gives unconditional love and support-but can’t lose sight of the fact-that they are a parent, not a child’s friend! When it comes to life’s important desisions.
Listen to your children
Listen and love!
you have to listen
To be a better dad, listen to them. Really listen and take in what they are saying and feeling. Nodding your head and saying yes rolls right off them.
I think it’s important to treat your children as individuals, and to give them what they need without shorting yourself.
Stay interested in what they’re doing
Listen to your kids- even when you don’t necessarily FEEL like it.
I would love to see this!
Take time to be there for your kids. When they eed you, and when they think they don’t.
Very a very hands-on parents…love them, listen to them!
Have an open line of communications with your children. Take time every day tio talk to them about their day, their schoolwork and their concerns.
Always be there for your kids. I raised my kids by myself and I was always there for them np matter what they were involved in. And when they grow up they will remember how you were there for support, love, and understanding.
Some days, like today, I’m just happy to survive. Honestly take the help that is offered. You are not superwoman/man.
Men, don’t try to don’t try to do two things at one time when you are watching the kids. It just doesn’t work for you guys. spend a lot of time w/ the kids to make memories
Make the time to have individual time with each child. Listen because they have a lot to say and you benefit more than they will.
Listen to your kids and treat them with respect.
spend time with your kids
In today’s modern age… discipline is what kids need. We’re raising a generation of brats that feel entitled to have the world handed to them on a silver platter.
be there- that is the start to being a great parent and listening to what th kids say and do
Take time to listen to your kids.
listen to your kids.
Take an active role in your children’s lives. Be there for them through the good times and the bad.
Listen to your kids. Don’t sweat the small stuff and enjoy every moment. Time flies!
Time, what every kids NEEDS is not. Not matrial items, not extra cirricular activities, they NEED time!
Take the time each day to talk to and listen to your children. Most of all, enjoy them. They grow up way too quickly.
Thank you for the giveaway!
more one on one quality time
I’d like to spend more quality time and lose my temper less often.
hear what your children are saying and watch what they are doing
Spend time and I don’t just mean watching a movie together, but getting out and doing something even if it’s just going to the park for a couple hours.
Make it a point to know your children’s friends, what they like about that person, etc. Refrain from any criticisms, but if you are uncomfortable about your child’s association with a particular child or thier family, try to see if your concerns are truly justified – if so, take the time to express those concerns to your child (if appropriate) and listen carefully to your child’s feedback.
Let the kids know that you are willing to talk to them about anything and that you are not there to judge them. You must start this when they are very young. And be consistant with your answers.
Show your interest in what they have to say from day one, the babbling turns to words and you need to listen.
Listen and talk to your kids.
my husband and i want our kids to know that they can ALWAYS come to us.
we want to just be there for them, always.
listen!
