Bedtime Stories comedy
Bedtime Stories, starring Adam Sandler, is an enjoyable family oriented comedy. It won’t win any Oscars, but it’s one you feel fairly safe watching with your kids. There is some very mild bad language, but it’s pretty tame even for its PG rating. My one biggest complaint (Spoiler alert) …

13 Ghosts is a movie about 13 Ghosts in a special house, trapped away until…yeah, that’s the clencher…until someone and something comes along to provoke a very special event. 13 Ghosts was really hard for me to watch because it moved so quickly and the ghostly visions were here …

Star Wars: The Clone Wars
The term “childhood rape” is thrown around a lot nowadays. It seems like every movie now in some way, shape, or form rapes somebody’s childhood. People threw it around when Bay’s “Transformers” came around or when Lucas made the prequel trilogy. I myself felt the epitomy …
