Rated: PG-13
Runtime: 1 hour and 53 minutes
Release date: May 10, 1996
Director: Jan De Bont
Starring: Helen Hunt, Bill Paxton
Since storm season is approaching, I'd thought that I'd review this mid to late 90's blockbuster, which is about a team of storm chasers that develop a machine called "Dorothy", that is designed to help them study tornadoes. For a film from the 1990's, the special effects are really good, and it's a really intense film. Parents, I don't think you wanna show your kids this film because, not only it's intense but, there is a really good amount of foul language. And, there is this dinner table scene which I think should've been cut from the film. And there's also a scene, where a tornado rips through a drive in theater, and because of that, I guarantee you that your kids might be afraid of going to a drive-in movie. Especially on a cloudy night, let alone a stormy night for that matter. And the movie that the filmmakers chose for that was the 1980 R-rated Stanley Kubrick horror movie "The Shining" So, I don't think you would wanna show your kids, especially your young kids this film.

Gremlins 2: The New Batch
Rated: PG-13
Runtime: 1 hour 47 minutes
Release Date: June 15, 1990
Director: Joe Dante
Starring: Zach Galligan, Phoebe Cates
In this sequel to the 1984 film Gremlins, Billy (Galligan) and Kate (Cates), move to the big apple, get jobs in a high tech office park, and reunite with their loveable furry friend Gizmo. But, when accidents occur, a whole new generation of Gremlins are born. So it is up to Billy and Kate, to come up with a plan to destroy them all!
I think this film is weirder than the first one. Although it is watchable, but Parents, I'd click here to go to the Parents Guide on IMDB, before showing this film to your kids.

Gremlins
Rated: PG
Runtime: 1 hour 46 minutes
Release Date: June 8, 1984
Director: Joe Dante
Starring: Zach Galligan, Phoebe Cates
This film is about a young man, who gets a mysterious pet named Gizmo for christmas. Little did he know is that would break three very important rules on how to take care of this pet, and unleashes a horde of malevolently mischievous monsters in his small town. I honestly, don't know why people consider this a horror movie. It's not even scary! I wasn't scared at all! I thought it was weird. Parents, There is however, one scene that is a little intense for young children (It's the kitchen scene). So, I'd be cautious about this film if i were you.
Final Grade:
B
Stay tuned!

Kin
Rated: PG-13
Runtime: 1 hour 42 minutes
Release Date: August 31, 2018
Directors: Johnathan Baker, Josh Baker
Starring: Myles Truitt, Jack Raynor, Dennis Quaid, Zoe Kravitz
I don't know what to think about this crime drama that's about federal agents, a vengeful baddie and an unearthly army, and ex-con and his adopted brother wasting no time hitting the road. Badly out numbered, their only protection is an ancient weapon of unknown origin. Again, I don't know what to think! There are scenes that I think should've been deleted, there's foul language, and the overall theme of the picture is, not that good. I think the movie industry should come up with a new rating, that lies between PG-13 and R, say like a PG-15 or something. Seriously people, I think you should skip this film.

Stanley Kubrick's sci-fi classic probes the mysteries of space and human destiny. while investigating the appearance of mysterious monoliths throughout the universe, astronauts David and Frank battle their ship's intelligent computer, HAL-9000.
