Ok, so the movie is filth and sexually charged dealing with premarital sex, abortion, smoking, disobeying your parents, and cheating in school.  But to a 3 year old, it simply has TONS of music to dance to and they are dressed funny.
I’m talking about the movie Grease with John Travolta and Olivia Newton John.  I have always loved that movie and didn’t really realize it until I was way older that it wasn’t exactly the most Christian, wholesome movie to watch.
I must say that I am extremely sorry for the Travolta’s family loss and have chosen to let them mourn …read more

The following is a guest post.
We love to watch movies and that includes new ones, however as a family it costs roughly $35 just to get tickets. This doesn’t include food and drinks. By the end of the movie we may have spent a whopping $60, but this only happens on a rare occasion. We’ve learned a few new tricks on having a thrifty movie night. These are tricks anyone can do, even when you have kids.
First, you can either rent movies or buy them and I’m not meaning buy the brand new ones that cost $20 or more. Go …read more

Before DH and I had kids, we used to go to the movies all the time.  But then again, the movies used to be cheaper.  So now the New Batman movie, The Dark Knight, comes out Friday night.  I really want to see it.  I was so sad when I heard that Heath Ledger had died just as he finished the movie.  I love the series and love Christian Bale.  I will miss Heath.  My favorite movie he did was A Knight’s Tale.  But now that it takes more than $7 per person to go to the movies, not including …read more

OK, I am a movie buff and I am totally stumped!  It’s driving me crazy.  Does anybody know what movie has a main character dancing to Jumpin’ Jack Flash and looking pretty silly doing it?  I can see it plain as day in my mind.  I think it’s a late 80’s early 90’s movie but I can’t remember and it’s driving me crazy!

I just found out about a site called Kids-In-Mind.  This site gives parents the skinny on what’s going on in a movie.  Each movie receives a rating of 1-10 in the areas of sex, violence, and profanity.  Very detailed information is given, including which profane words were used, what the actors were wearing, if there is any name-calling, and more.  I was pretty impressed with the specifics for the reviews.
Here is a snippet from the review for “Miss Potter”:
SEX/NUDITY 2 – A man and a woman kiss, a man and a woman dance together, and a man touches a woman’s hand …read more

Recently I shared some great tips on how to go see a new movie on the thrifty side.  My DH and I used to go see an average of 3-4 movies a month at the theater.  That was pre-diapers and baby sitters.  HAHA!  Now, we tend to rent movies and pray we return them on time to avoid late fees.  So what movies should you watch?  How about a good list of date movies?  Funny you should ask me that.  I just happened to come across a great top 10 list for date night from CBN and actually like the …read more

I love date night.  I just don’t like to shell out a bunch of money.  Most people have family that can help out with babysitting, so they don’t have to pay.  We don’t.  The blessing in our life is that we have a couple of teenagers that love watching our daughter.  We pay them in meals, movies, etc since they won’t take payment.  They are wonderful to us.  The other day we went to see Superman.  (What a good movie by the way)  We used to go to the movies at any time.  Now we only go when we can …read more
