February 1, 2010 January 30, 2010 The Tooth FairyThe Tooth Fairy is a movie that is heavy on message, and full of silly gags that give it several funny moments. That said, unfortunately they were unable to offset the “does this tutu make my butt look big”, … December 28, 2009 InkheartThe movie Inkheart, which is shockingly rated ‘PG’, should be rated at least PG-13. It is goulish, and gruesome, with slavery, weapons, violence, and monsters galore. Alvin and the Chipmunks: The SqueakquelWe were really looking forward to seeing Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel, and for the most part we weren’t disappointed. However there are some scenes that were entirely inappropriate, and language that was disappointing, neither of which were … November 26, 2009 Old DogsThe mainstream reviews of Old Dogs, starring Robin Williams and John Travolta, have been extremely mixed. This is a movie that reviewers either really don’t like, or really do. Put us in the latter camp. November 1, 2009 Where the Wild Things AreI had high hopes for the movie Where the Wild Things Are, as the previews were awesome. So, sadly, we were really disappointed - the movie was much darker (thematically, not illumination-wise) then I’d expected, and it left me … September 2, 2009 Aliens in the AtticAliens in the Attic has a funny gimmick: aliens using video game controllers to control humans (they first have to shoot a mind control plug into the back of the human’s neck, and it only works on adults). Unfortunately, … ShortsShorts was pretty much exactly what you’d expect from the previews (whether you think that’s a plus or a negative), with the added layer of a contrivance that we - including the child with us, found really annoying: the … February 4, 2009 Bedtime StoriesI was absolutely disgusted by Bedtime Stories, a movie that I had been told by someone whose judgement I (once) trusted, was completely appropriate. January 18, 2009 Hotel for DogsThis is a review of the movie “Hotel for Dogs” for parents. We were very pleasantly surprised by this movie, as given the subject, we’d expected a lot more potty humour than there actually was. Yes, there is … January 2, 2009 Marley and MeI’m going to tell you right off the bat that we have not gone to see Marley and Me (although I have read the book), and I’m going to tell you why. December 29, 2008 The WatchmenThis was a HORRIBLE HORRIBLE movie! It is really really NOT appropriate for people of any ages in my opinion. The violence was over the top gratuitous, including violence involving a child, a rape attempt and shooting of a pregnant … July 19, 2008 July 17, 2008 July 15, 2008 December 31, 2007 September 15, 2007 August 22, 2007 Firehouse DogA parental review of “Firehouse Dog” - not as bad as I’d heard, and with a somewhat sweet storyline! August 4, 2007 July 23, 2007 Hairspray (2007)Review of “Hairspray” (the 2007 version) starring Nikki Blonsky, John Travolta, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Christopher Walken June 25, 2007 June 22, 2007 May 27, 2007 Charlotte’s WebA review of the new “Charlotte’s Web”, with Julia Roberts, Steve Buscemi, Dakota Fanning, Robert Redford, John Cleese, and Oprah Winfrey |
