And we've got all these issues too: my husband loves aliens getting blasted to bits; my kids like thrillers and adventure films; I yearn to see something that is intelligent and sophisticated. <BR/><BR/>And just wait until you next go on vacation.

The child is way too little to sit through anything beyond Bee Movie. We didn't even take him to see Coraline, because the trailer "freaks me out, mom." <BR/>Plus, me & mister don't mind driving an hour or more to one of the big huge cities nearby to catch a film if it's only playing at a tiny little art house.Lily Catehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17732112345439595471noreply@blogger.com
