Since the summer began, I've seen several movies... (mostly kiddie shows)

Over the Hedge

Cars

Ice Age

Lake House

Over the Hedge was AWESOME!!!!! I laughed as much - if not more - then then kids. Its a great show.

Lake House (with Keanu Reeves & Sandra Bullock) was a total thumbs down. Mike thought it was OK - but kept reminding me that I picked it out! It didnt make sense. Very big dissapointment considering the actors in it.

What about y'all...

seen anything good lately?

I wanna bring the kids to see Shaggy Dog - is it any good?

My little girl is a huge car fan is did very well with CARS. We go to the drive in because it just isn't worth the fighting with my child and strangers at a theater. CARS played with THE WILD which was pretty stupid. My DH and D fell asleep and I was jealous! It was MADAGASCAR with a little LION KING thrown in. I suppose they wanted to show off the graphics.

I can understand the NEMO thing, but we have worn out a movie called ELMO IN GROUCHLAND. When Soren fell big time for the little red one, my husband found the DVD in the discount bin and brought it home. I can quote it at will and perform all of the songs.

I mean seriously, it will barely play and freezes in the last 10 minutes! Thats OK, I can do the big finish solo...

We NetFlix and love it! Less than $20 for three movies at a time. We barely watch TV anymore. Which is good because TV programming isn't fit for children. We either watch PBS or movies.

LAKEHOUSE is on our wait list, as is OVER THE HEDGE.

My husband watches MadTV, I heard one of the characters say that WALK THE LINE was RAY for white people, you know what? He was right!

Drugs, infidelity, high profile music career...

i hear ya on the tv programming for kids. Although we do not do PBS we definitely do not watch cartoon network. It is way too violent, and I hate most of the cartoons on there. When we lived in washington there was this great channel called boomerang that was owned by the cartoon network. It was all the old cartoons like flintstones and popeye and tom and jerry and yogi bear. The kids loved that. But we don't have that here. Nickelodeon is ok for most of their shows. Nicktoons channel has more of the adult and gross shows that sometimes I don't like my kids watching. But the channel they really love is Noggin. Their slogan is "its like preschool on your television" and they are pretty right on. Great educational shows, and the kids really love them.

I actually have a fear of Elmo. and I am dead serious, although I think every mother has a slight tinge of this fear. but i have had horrid nightmares of that little red freak and can't stand to even hear his voice. LOL So we do not watch pbs.

We are going to see Nacho Libre (sp?) today. We LOVE Jack Black - School of Rock is on our Top 5 list.

Ill let everybody know how it turns out.

I am cracking up - out of total sympathy. I LOATHE Thomas the Train Engine. Trains shouldn't have faces, there, I said it! *shivers*

As for Noggin, it sounds like a good reason to invest in cable. I have been skipping it since I don't want to support my TV habit. I figure Barney is as good a deterrent as any. Although I actually enjoy Big Big World.

Saw Superman Returns yesterday. What made it even more AWESOME is that we saw it on the IMAX screen AND some of the scenes were in 3D...

COOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!

Superman flew right AT me!!! lol.

I looooved the movie...prob more so being on the Imax!!

Yoda - I thought aobut you yesterday!
