Last night I was reading an article that someone had written about children at the new Batman movie. Now they were pretty upset that at a midnight showing there were 5-10 year old’s. I also find that a little crazy for this particular movie. Yes it’s a treat for some, but at the same time does the kid want to see the movie or did the parents make them come because they wanted to?

this person had no problems with the children that were a little older as they knew how to behave, but the young ones don’t and at a midnight showing in a cramped theater they are tired and don’t car about the movie, personally I think anyone under the age of 10 should not have been there, there is a pg13 rating on it for a reason. No that does not me as long as the parent buys the ticket a 3 year old can get it. It means that your child should have the mental capacity of at least a 13 year old to see the movie.

I agree that parents now a days need a reality check when it comes to what movie ratings mean. G- everything is okay anyone can watch it.

  • PG- probably not good for little kids but okay for the 5 and up crowd.
  • PG13- explained earlier, but I will say it again, your child should have the mental capacity of at least a 13 year old to see the movie. (usually they don’t until they are at least 12)
  • R-Restricted, in other words unless your child is 16 they should NOT see this movie.
  • XXX- If your letting your kid watch this you are a bad parent.

Now that you know the rateing system, I have a story for you. I do movie audits where I count how many people watch a movie for a weekend. I audited the Sex and the City movie for 2 weeks. I saw a total of 9 kids 10 and under go into the movie and at least 17-25 that had to be 10-15. If you didn’t see Sex and the City and live under a rock, let me tell you a secret, there is a ton of nudity and sex in this movie. Something children of that age should not be seeing! I’m sure the one man who came to see it with his 9 year old sons will be wondering in about 3-5 years why his sons got a girl pregnant.

Anyway back to the Batman movie. This poster was told off in a few comments that some people can not afford a babysitter and a movie, well if that’s the case don’t see the movie because apparently you don’t have the money to spend. Wait a week or two and save so you can afford both, I know in this country saving is an unheard of concept, but come on! You really need to watch what your kids are watching. Oh and of course there is also the issue of the other 300 or more people that stayed up to watch the midnight showing paid 8-12 or more dollars to see it only to have a 5 year old kick them in the back every three minutes or have a child go running down the aisle screaming because the parent doesn’t want to watch them. In other words, think of the other people. I have personally told theaters that people are not watching their children and they have been kicked out because of it. Guess what parents, they can do that and I think more theaters should. That said if you can not get a babysitter and you must see the movie in the theater go during the day, when people expect kids to be there or at least wait a few days to go see it later at night.

This is my opinion, what are your thoughts?

There are a few good movies coming out this summer, but it seems that the really good movies are all a few years old. No I’m not talking about movies with weird looking equestrian clothing. I’m talking about good movies that keep you in suspense, make you laugh and make you feel good when you leave.

Tonight I sat down to watch one of my favorite movies, Armageddon. I have not seen it in a long time and I had forgotten how good that movie was. It was everything a movie should be with some fun and humor thrown into a very serious situation. Even though I knew the end I still was on the edge of my seat watching. I hate the end because I love Bruce Willis but I’ll be okay.

Anyway there have been a few other movies since then that have had the same effect, but it seems that around the time this one came out, there were a bunch of them that were like this. Maybe I just don’t get to see them, I don’t know. Am I the only one who notices this?

We went to see Indiana Jones IV today and I have to say I loved it! The movie was amazing though there were a few things I would have changed. They still managed to close up everything, it seems the movies are at their end.

As for the post I wrote a few days ago about a war starting from this movie. I still don’t see their point. Really what I got out of the movie is that the leading bad guy women is a little insane, but I don’t think that represents all communist at that time or ever. They believe what they believe and I believe what I believe end of it.

I loved the way they ended the movie, nope not going to spoil it for you, go see it if you want to know. I also like how they didn’t try to make the Indiana Jones character younger then what the actor is. He grew up and it still works.

I give this movie 5/5 and plan on adding it to my collection, I own all 3 of the other movies already.

After hearing my little brother whine for the last week about seeing the movie Beowulf my mother finally broke down and took him to see it. I tagged along since I had read the poem in high school and was curious to see what they did with it.

We saw it in 3D which was interesting. Of course the parts that were the best was when something sharp was pointed at the screen but thats to be expected. I now see that they have also gotten better with some other aspects of 3D viewing.

Now I’ll get to the story. I thought they did a good job of making the story interesting and long enough for a movie. That said, if you have read the poem and don’t like it when things change a little in the movie, then don’t go see this. They took the movie beyond the poem and made a decent storyline out of it. There is some sexual parts to this movie so I really wouldn’t recommend it for anyone under 13 unless you let them watch that type of thing, which in my opinion is wrong, but thats another post and again my opinion.

I found the movie very enjoyable. It was fun to watch and really had some interesting aspects to it. I personal like how they made it more realistic. Many reviews I have read were mad because they didn’t depict Beowulf as a selfless hero. Well guess what if this had actually happened, which it probably did in some aspect. He did do it for greed, trust me, the fairy tale hero has not, does not and will never exist. 

My rating of this movie~ A, It’s a good movie, take your teens to see it.
