Oh my - I just saw this. My kids love the scene with Jeff Goldblum in the back of the Jeep..."faster...must go faster..." cracks us all up. Sorry she was scared - can't blame her though - that's a lot for a little one to take in :)

We went and saw Hunger Games over the weekend with our daughter - it had 4 horror movie previews and I'm pretty sure those movies are going to be rated R. Why would you have 4 horror previews for a PG 13 movie. One of them even said graphic disturbing scenes as a warning for the preview??!?
Seems like they got the demographics wrong for the preview SMDH

I wanted to see the Hunger Games movie Mockingjay. I also wanted to see Creed.

I had promised my kids that we would see The good Dinosaur but I didn't keep my promise:(
It's was so rainy, windy and yuck outside

aww - sorry you didn't make it to the movies. Hubby wants to see Creed with our son. Girlie - really has no desire to see it, lol
We all want to see the new Star Wars movie when it comes out later this month and my son wants to see the creepy Krimpus/Krumpus?? scary Christmas movie that is coming out...I'm surprised as he usually doesn't want to see scary movies. I want to see the new Seth Rogan et al holiday movie - looks hilarious.
