Movies

All the movies nowadays are a big change from the old ones that my parents used to watch. They all seem to include gunfights, swordfights, or hand-to-hand combat. Every movie now has gotten one step closer to being "more real" and each one has a great love scene that makes me cringe.
Every other Friday I get to go rent a movie to watch with my little brothers while my parents go to dinner or a movie. I'm always told that I have to get something apropiate for a five year old and a seven year old, and that's getting extremely hard now. Don't get me wrong, I love watching young kid movies with my little brothers like Winnie the pooh, the heffalump's adventure, or Herbie, fully loaded, but you have to draw the line somewhere. There are some great PG rated movies that my brothers and I really like, for example The Incredibles, or National Treasure. Sadly enough, movies like these are very few in number.
I can hardly find any good movies to rent anymore, and my brothers and I have to find some other form of entertainment. Almost every movie coming out is rated R or PG-13, which isn't very good for families like mine that go to theatres every other week. I'm fine with watching Pg-13 when I'm with my friends or my older brother, who's 16, but when my parents are there, It gets really uncomfortable. If the movie is a bad one, afterwards my parents tell me that they have to see the next one before I can go to it.
Overall, I think that they could make movies a little less bloody, or leave out the cuss words next time. If they did that, they'd have a wider audience-span, and believe it or not, they would make more money!!!

I completely agree. I'm fine with most movies, but if it has a sex sceen then I feel TOTALLY uncomfortalbe, esspecially if I'm there with my family. Oooh yes, and I agree Patti. I wish they would go back to the good ol' days of Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin.

I personally loved Madagascar! I also think that if movies were more decent, they'd be more popular. Great job on your blog, Tanner. I don't think you know who I am, but oh well!
