Morning,
Well! I might have mentioned a few days ago how I was going to play hooky and escape from the daily Mom demands. My husband was taking care of the kids, and I decided to watch Beowulf in 3d. And I lasted a whole! 8! minutes!
My gosh! The gore! The violence! The undeniable ickyness! While I’m sure it must appeal to the gamer audiences, for me….it was just too disgusting. Give me Transformers any time! I walked out after 8 minutes, came home and did my circle walk. At least I got something good out of that evening!
And during the weekend, I took my kids to see Enchanted. Now THAT was a super feel-good movie – the whole family enjoyed it thoroughly.
I will confess – I have zero desire to see any blood/guts/gratuitous violence movie and am rather proud that I’m raising my family the same way. When you see such things again and again, I believe you get inured to them…and violence becomes the expected way of dealing with problems.
“Blah!” is all I have to say regarding that.
“Enchanted” is a super family film – I highly recommend it.
Enjoy,
Barbara
ps – some enchanted goodies!
