Brenda, I haven't see it yet, but I think it's rated PG. There are several sites that give parental movie reviews that will list anything that may be objectionable to anyone. Screenit.com is one of them. Commonsensemedia.org is another. I sobbed at the end of the book and I've read reviews that indicate everyone cries at the end of the movie. Not sure if that is too much for a 6 year old. I am looking forward to Inkheart when it comes out next month. I loved the book. I see Brendan Frasier is the dad in the movie. I'm not sure he is the best for that part.

Thanks Happymom. We are going to skip Marley and me. If we want to watch a dog die, we'll rent Old Yeller. LOL. At least I won't have to watch Rachel, I mean Jennifer, for 90 minutes. Isn't it interesting how two movies are coming out that seem to have a similar plot thread? Bedtime stories and Inkheart?? how do they do that? I think we'll see Bedtime Stories although the reviews are not great. I think Inkheart looks like the better film of the two.

Bedtime Stories was not that good. Very predictable.

WARNING! Do not spoil Dear Zachary for yourself before seeing it. The front page of the above link is safe but don't investigate further. I've already spoiled it for myself. In fact to be safe don't read any reviews. Just see the film. You may thank me later.

Dear Zachary is being shown tonight on MSNBC at (I think) 10 pm. While I know it is going to be sad (I peeked at the page), I am definitely interested in seeing it.

Revolutionary Road: not a coming attraction as it is now out. Has anyone seen it?? DiCaprio is very impressive in this film. I think my one problem is the Kate Winslet character is not very likable.

Just got done watching "Dear Zachary" on MSNBC. While I was spoiled about the general idea of the documentary, I was not prepared for the big twist at the end. It was a very well done film. Obviously the family is WELL loved. It brings up some very valid points concerning trials, bail and responisbility. I would highly recommend the movie to others, but have a box of kleenex available since you are going to need it.

I was a teen in the 80's and even then the 1972 movie "Last House on the Left" from 1972 was still one of the most disturbing movies we ever saw. Well, they remade it and it's out this year http://www.upcominghorrormovies.com/uhm/showthread.php?t=42842 The original of this movie is worse than any nightmare. It's terrifying. I couldn't sleep.

Revolutionary Road: not a coming attraction as it is now out. Has anyone seen it?? I haven't seen it but heard two reviews of it saying it is one of the best movies. It is funny because as I listened, I thought the movie sounded dismal and boring. Those two critics thought it was fantastic and gave it their highest ratings. Well, one of them is not a critic, he is a radio personality.

Man, I bet Natalie Portman is KICKING herself for turning down Amy Adam's part in "Doubt" because she "couldn't wrap her head around the thought of celibacy" LOL There goes all those Golden Globes noms she could have gotten hahahahaha Article

Revolutionary road is rather dismal, and sad. But there are moments when it's also quite funny. But overall a downer. Still, some fantastic acting. I didn't find it boring at all. Gosh I wish Natalie Portman would get to work! LOL! Seems like forever since I've seen her in something interesting.

Next month the remake of the original "Friday the 13th" will be released. I bet it's a box office hit (meaning 50 mil or more). http://www.upcominghorrormovies.com/movies/f13prequel.php

Is anyone planning on seeing "Taken"? I'm anxious to hear the reviews - looks good to me.

I saw one review that said it was Jack Bauer + Jason Bourne. It was apparently released in asia last April.

There is a film coming out this friday here called Polytechnique. If this film comes to your town I recommend you go see it. It is a true story about a guy who went into a university and killed female students. It happened over 20 years ago in Montreal. It is a very powerful film. I will be seeing it but my hubby says I should not. I cry at movies often. With this one I cry at the preview.

A friend of mine saw Taken last weekend and LOVED it. I saw Hotel for Dogs (life with an 11-year old) and I thought it was very cute.

The Watchmen is coming out very soon, based on a graphic novel. I read it in college; a forward-thinking prof had it as required reading. I remember it being quite remarkable. http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/Movies/02/25/ew.watchmen/index.html

I've never read the story but I have met Patrick Wilson more than once as have several friends of mine. I've also seen him on Broadway and in all of his other films. He just finished up at stint on Broadway with John Lithgow, Katie Holmes and.....ack, the other actress escapes me just now. I think it was Diane Weist. Patrick is the nicest guy I've ever met. Very gracious and down to earth. His wife is the same way. Anyway, he was on Good Morning America this morning with Billy Crudup and Jeffery Dean Morgan. Patrick plays The Owl. The guys had a good time on the show this morning and I cannot wait to see the movie. GMA Watchmen Cast
