As far as violence, I do NOT like anything graphic at all, never really have. Call me shallow if you want, but give me a good comedy or love story any day. With that being said, however, I have to say I LOVED Avatar. (Sorry, but I really did! :o )

Great blog topic!

But even feel good movies have their inappropriateness for 5 yr olds, so I still wait till Charlotte is in bed. Know what you’re saying, Phoebe.

Stuff I don't have to monitor or explain the whole way through, or wait till after the kids are in bed to watch. Even when they aren't around I prefer a movie that will leave me feeling good rather than anxious or upset. I'm a fan of family friendly viewing.
