Transformers 3 Dark of the Moon Trailer 3 Official (HD)



Of all the Transformer movies, this is our favorite one! It has kept the flavor of the older movies yet it has enhanced them by explaining loose threads from the other movies. Definitely a PG-13 movie, due to sexual situation and topics, language and some action scenes. Excellent movie!

5 out of 5 Stars.

Gnomeo and Juliet

Excellent family film. Funny, and original, no profanity or rude humor. Story follows the lines of Romeo and Juliet but has a happy ending. Two thumbs up. Lots of Elton John music.

4.50 out of 5 Stars.

Beastly Movie


The new Beastly movie is a modern adaptation of Beauty and the Beast. My teenagers liked this movie version because it is how their world is now in high school. We thought it had excellent music and a great script. We give it two thumbs up. Rated PG-13 due to some violence and profanity. Great movie for daughters and mothers.

Mr. Popper's Penguins


This movie was a very interesting interpretation of the children's book by the same name. Jim Carrey plays Mr. Popper. Some funny scenes but overall a disappointment for our family.  The trailer doesn't help to promote it. Rated PG because of some profanity and rude humor. Family friendly.

Skyline


Saw this movie with my 19 year old son. Terrible acting. The movie takes place in one building and was a waste of my time and money. Profanity and alien gore. No defined plot. Rated- PG13.

Rango


Rango, Johnny Depp, is a chameleon that is searching for a way back home after getting lost on a family trip. Some rude humor and some profanity, hence the PG rating. It seemed like an adult cartoon. Rango is the haphazard good guy.

3 out of 5 Stars.

Rio


Very cute movie about the last two blue macaws.
My nine year old loved the music. Family friendly movie. Rated G.

4 out of 5 Stars.

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides


Captain Jack Sparrow, Johnny Depp, searching for the fountain of youth. This pirate movie was definitely full of swashbuckling action and adult humor; hence the PG-13 rating. The mermaids in this movie are definitely scary and more like sharks!  Some violence and scary scenes. Not the best movie of the series.

'Green Lantern'


Being a fan of the DC and Marvel comics, my older son who is 19 and I really enjoyed this science fiction movie. Although I thought it was inappropriate for my nine year old son because of scary images, profanity, and an improper adult sexual situation; we gave it two thumbs up! PG-13
