What My Kids Love Now

House Rules

When the Kids Are Asleep…

My Biggest Challenge Is:

Titles You’ve Reviewed

  • DVD: Hannah Montana: The Movie

    I rate this titleiffyand give it3.0

    The eight year old loved it but the six year old had trouble sitting through it. The believablility factor will annoy anyone over ten. But some surprise Disney type moves made it tolerable.

  • DVD: Marley & Me

    I rate this titleiffyand give it3.0

    My kids would watch it.

    I enjoyed it as an adult. It took me back to my first dog as a young married woman myself. We are now on our second dog as a family and it reminds me of how important it is to give the dog time to ...

  • DVD: Coraline

    I rate this titleiffyand give it2.0
    My concerns are:
    • Excessive violence

      Not for children!

      Not so much the violence but that frequently mentioned "creepy factor"!. I took four girls age 7-9 and they did not like it at all. We almost had to leave in the middle. The seven year old ended up ...

      • DVD: Bolt

        good movie for all

        Fun movie, nice story. I almost cried. I love the message of how important it is to include your pet as a family member and not abandon them. The little girl was just a little too perfect, but that ...

      • DVD: Race to Witch Mountain

        I rate this titleonand give it3.0
        My concerns are:
        • Excessive violence

          Yes there is a fair amount of violence, but I took the same children to see "Coraline" recently and they found that film much more scary, despite the animation. Personaly, I'd like to see a bit more ...

        • TV: SpongeBob SquarePants

          I rate this titleiffyand give it3.0

          Tiresome, and not for small children

          My six year old loves SpongeBob as I suspect many children do since Nick Jr. has it on a lot. The only thing I like about this show for my children is the main characters optimisim. Unfortunately ...

        • DVD: Nanny McPhee

          I rate this titleonand give it4.0

          Iffy for under five

          I took my six yr old and five yr old. the six yo loves TV and movies, and did wonderfuly her first time in a theatre when she watched "Finding Nemo" when she was three. This was our first attempt ...
