Movie review thread...

<p>watched the 2nd one last night. not as good, but still alright i guess.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Also watched Revenge of the Sith last night. It's definitely the best of the prequels, but still far from perfect. My kids don't like it much, my youngest burst in to tears when Anakin turns bad, and then the eldest does when Anakin fights Obi Wan. </p> -

<p>Awesome that the Kids get into it though!</p> -
<p>my kids are fucking Star Wars nuts. The youngest, that's all he plays with, Star Wars toys. They've seen all the movies multiple times, and will actually request them for movie nights (legends). We often watch a bunch of the Clone Wars, or Rebels cartoons. And they have been on a countdown to the new movie for 3 weeks. At the moment, it is more important than Christmas. Legends. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I was worried about taking a 4 year old, but he would lose his shit if he didn't go, and probably wouldn't talk to me for a month, </p> -

<p>I have kid movie envy. If I have to watch Dusty Fucking Crophopper fight fires or race around the world one more time, I'm going to take every fucking orange and white plane around our house and smash them with a sledgehammer.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And don't even get me started on Lightning Fucking McQueen.</p> -
<p>nice rant!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>TR Jnr has been watching the Terminator movies, wants to watch Matrix and Mad Max, but IIRC there are some stuff in the Mad Max ones that are well beyond his age level appropriateness.</p> -
<p>Yeah I watched that one with him, is also a scene when Arnie goes to Sarah's flat, and her flatmate is in bed having sex, don't see anything but know what they are up to...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>IMDB have a pretty good parental thing on each movie telling you what happens, pretty sure I checked it for Mad Max, which is why I haven't let him watch that, with or without me.</p> -

<p>Dora the fucken Explorer..i win, i mean lose..</p> -
<p>I'm hoping to get the kids moved onto Minions or Inside Out over Xmas. Should be perfect watching for them whilst I snooze on the couch after a huge lunch.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Although little Miss MR is now approaching 2, and I suspect I'll be letting it go once or 55,000 times over the next 8 years.</p> -

<p>Some shows i can stomach ( i have 3 and 5 year old girls) like Peppa pig, Sofia, Handy Manny. Something about Dora that rubs me up the wrong way, i dont mean to sound racist but i suspect its all the Spanish...</p> -

<p>nah the sexual aspect of films is what I am more concerned with</p> -
<p>Oh and thanks to Netflix they discovered Barbie life in a Dreamhouse or something. Its actually not the worse, very dry humour (obviously aimed at older girls). Often filled with references to anything from Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Rocky etc.</p>

<p>Swiper no swiping!</p> -
<p>Swiper is a fluffybunny. He pinches stuff just to throw it away right in front of them. He's not a thief, he's a sociopath.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It's good that the 7 year old is in charge of the cartoon watching, so we get Cartoon Network stuff, although Mariner Jr the youngest still loves Paw Patrol and Little Einsteins.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>With the movies it's all good though. Recent watches are obviously Star Wars. The Avengers. Then Minions, Inside Out, Home, and we just watched Jumanji and Zathura, and they really liked Journey to the Centre of the Earth, and Journey 2. Jurassic World may have been a little much, but strangely the littlest one found it less scary than the elder. I have no idea what my kids should be watching..... </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Oh and TR my kids are loud as fuck. </p>
