Four day weekend coming up. So I figure I’ll cruise into the Blockbuster and pick up a plethora of movies. But I’m not sure what I want. We haven’t rented movies in ages… HEHE
So I figured… I’ll post it in my blog and see if I can get some people making recommends.
My rules for movies:
1. No porn
2. No gratitious sex, violence, language (OK Terminator is violent but OK… I just don’t want 98 minutes of hack and slash.. ok??? Or blood and gore for 98 minutes… get the picture? Action=OK massive death and grossness=Not OK)
3. Kid movies welcome and appreciated as I’ll have kidlets too
4. Movies that will be good for hubby a plus but I don’t mind one or two for ME.
Basically? I’m a big movie buff. I really really like movies. And unless it is extreme I’m probably going to enjoy it. I don’t go by ratings because the rating system is a load of BUNK. I’ve seen R rated movies that are fine and I’ve seen PG 13 movies that are offensive!! I really am not into really really gratuitously stupid humor either. So Dumb and Dumberer.. don’t’ bother. But I love sci fi, thriller, comedy, romantic comedy, drama, fantasy, action…

My bro is good at this with all his kidlets.
I’ve watched a few lately, Rabbit-proof Fence, The Hole, Femme Fatale, The Pianist, and Cynthia’s Journey (not Cynthia the name escapes me at the moment)
However, none are for kidlets. Quite a few of these sure put me through the ringer. I’d let an older child watch Rabbit-proof Fence, in fact I’d insist. lol
OH! Have you seen the Spy Kids movies. I enjoyed the 2nd, of course Antonio. ha.
What about Bowfinger? Steve Martin and Eddy Murphy, one of the funniest I’ve seen.

Look at this clip for Spy Kids 2 – director is Rodriguez, the thing with these movies is that adults enjoy them too b/c they’re done well. I really enoyed the 2nd one, didn’t see first.

Bowfinger isn’t specifically for kids, but I think they’d enjoy it. Steve Martin plays a 2nd rate movie director who wants to cast a big star. Since they can’t get one he and his film crew set out to film a big name actor, Murphy, w/o his knowing. It’s hilarious as they attempt to fit him into scenes while he has no idea what the heck is going on with these wacky people that keep popping up. Lots of laughs.
Rabbit-proof Fence is an Aussie production. There’s also a book based on this true story. Such a good story but a very emotional watch. The children in it are amazing!

I meant Felicia’s Journey, directed by Canadian Atom Egoyan but takes place in London. Not a kids movie. Although there’s no violence onscreen, it’s what we find out. Felicia a young woman sets out from Ireland to London to find her boyfriend. She meets an older gentleman who seems to want to help her. Chilling parts.

Spy Kids is good.

I went with a friend. We got 7 movies. I rented four (one was free because of a coupon) and she rented three.
I’ll make an entry later… 🙂
