Frozen is the shit! My girlfriend and I watched it the other week and just bawled our eyes out because it's so good. No jokes. I'm going to be crying during every goddamn movie when I hit 40.

Or when you're watching Frozen for the millionth time.

I've actually been lucky in that regard. My kids have seen Frozen twice, and only once at home. The soundtrack is on all the time, but at least the movie isn't.

I will say that I am surprised by how Disney movies are scary for kids. One of my girls is a huge Little Mermaid fan despite never seeing the movie. So we went to watch it, and had to turn it off about 20 minutes in. There was the dad getting mad at Ariel, the evil octopus witch girl, the boat crashing in a storm and the prince almost drowning. Pretty heavy.

Even Frozen is like that. The first 20 minutes, Anna gets her brain frozen, Elsa becomes a scared lonely girl, the parents die in a shipwreck, Elsa and Anna don't talk. They just did a good job hiding it in catchy songs.

Disney has always been like that. Snow White scared the crap out of kids.

Man of Steel - 7/10
The Perks of Being a Wallflower - 9/10
The Way Way Back - 9/10
Mud - 8.5
Adult Children of Divorce - 7/10

can you tell me what you liked about the way way back? I seen it on a plane, and I thought it was an empty movie. Not funny, no good characters, bad acting. I didn't get the point of that at all. But sometimes on airplanes movies are different for sure. So interested to read your thoughts

I remember watching Toy Story 3 a few years ago, and wondering how that ever got a G rating. I read that parents were storming out of theatres with their kids. Besides the bad toys angle, you also had the fire pit scene that went on and on. Apparently, a lot of kids were bawling at that one.

So, true.
I think that most people in the film industry aren't necessarily the model of parenting.
OK kids, I'll be gone for most of my life... don't misbehave or our graphics team will be back to digitally scare the shit out of you with some CGI monsters & dinosaurs... ok, love you!

My kids had some angst while watching that film, but they also loved it.

Okay, so I watched Heaven is for Real, and The Book Thief last night (and this morning)

I'll start with Heaven is for real:

I am not religious, but the concept sounded interesting. Watching the movie though, I thought it was incredibly stupid. No real attachment to the characters, not a great story, not great acting. Just a meh boring kinda show. Wouldn't really recommend it. Did some searching on the "true" story online after, and still didn't wow me after. Perhaps if you are religious you like it I don't know. I'll keep my religious opinion to myself cause I don't want to start a debate lol.


The book thief:

I absolutely loved the movie with the exception of the end. I felt they rushed the end. They could have done another 30 minutes or an hour and finish it properly. The time flew by, and it captivated me every moment.
I do love WW2 movies/stories a lot.

The girl in the book thief was fantastic, and hope to watch many more shows with her in it. great acting all around, and during the movie I felt pretty privileged not to have lived during that time. I can only imagine...

Definitely recommend that one if you are at all interested in ww2 movies.

And because I love those movies a lot, I'll give a list of some of my must watch movies on the topic.

Schindler's list (obviously)
The Grey Zone
The Pianist
Valkyrie
Hitler: The Rise of Evil
Black Book (one of my favorites)
The boy in the striped pajamas

If you have any recommendations for that genre, I would gladly hear them.

I hope you've seen Life is Beautiful Dutch. One of my favorite movies and connected to that time period as well.

My expectations were extremely low when i saw the cast and they did a lot better than i thought they would. That probably pushed the ranking a little high.

Watched Divergent lats night with my wife. It was awfully meh. Maybe the books are better or something. 5/10

i watched it last night too, wish i hadn't. in most cases i can't take a movie serious if a kid is the main actor, she wasn't that bad but the movie kinda seemed like a spy kids x hunger games mash up.

Just watched "The Raid 2" last night. Amazing.

For those who are unfamiliar, The Raid is a smaller budget independent Indonesian action/martial arts series that involves your typical cops vs. bad guys storyline. Except the directing in both movies is very impressive and the fight scenes are insane.

If you don't mind reading subtitles and enjoy the occasional kung-fu movie then you'll really dig these two movies.
