Curious George This one is a keeper. This is the first movie that I have taken my 2 and a half year old to see. I am glad we waited for this gentle introduction to the fun of the theater. The movie will appeal to the toddler crowd with little to get worked up about. There is a very mild reference to evolution, but it went completely over my children's heads. My son especially like the "peek-a-boo" sequence and the apartment painting scene. This should be a fun one that everyone can go to see. Even my seven year old liked it.
Narnia - The Lion the Witch and Wardrobe This is one we decided to let our seven year old skip until the DVD came out. I loved the film and it was brilliant on the big screen. We are huge C.S. Lewis fans. With a few exceptions, they stuck to the book. We felt it a bit too intense for our sensitive daughter in the theater. She has read the book, and we watched the DVD recently where she could control or mute the action. This approach worked well. She loved it! She did hide her eyes during the stone table scene. Otherwise, she was fine. This is a spectacular film for those old enough to handle the action.
Pride and Prejudice I loved this one! But, I always do! I loved the BBC version as well. It is hard to go wrong with Jane Austen. This was a lovely rendition of the classic, just don't get too worked up on the details. After all, they are taking a long book and condensing it to fit in a movie, not a mini-series. A great way to spend the evening! (Sigh)
Mission Impossible III Are you shocked to find this here?! Well, I put my son's recent movie, my daughter's recent movie, and my own. This is one my husband and I went to yesterday. Clearly, this one is pure special effects and adrenalin - literally - they shoot adrenalin into someone's heart in the beginning of the flick - yikes! and OUCH! Still, if you can handle the non-stop tension and the violence, maybe you could watch this one with hubby. Let's be clear that this is not a movie for children of any age. I found myself laughing out loud in the theater in inappropriate times - at the absurdity of the scenes. It is, of course, not a realistic story, but if you like the spy scene, it can be a fun ride. I went for the theme song. |
