So few G-rated movies
Has anyone else noticed that there are a lot fewer G-rated movies these days? Look at the family movies in theaters for the holiday season -- http://fun.familyeducation.com/slideshow/movie/48962.html -- all rated PG and up.
The next G movie due in theaters is "Gnomeo and Juliet" in February. Where are all the G-rated movies?? Seems like it's because of the profits and popularity of all the 3D movies geared toward older kids.
Parents, do you bring your little kids to the movies and are you missing G-rated films? Or do you mostly just watch movies at home these days because it's gotten expensive to go to the theater?

Best Gifts for Teachers
Thank your favorite educator with a teacher-appreciation gift.
Thank for sharing the stuff. I had read the review about movie on rotten tomatoes and seems interseting to me..
Even with just one child and a spouse, it costs around $50 for admission, popcorn, and sodas. (I'm addicted to movie theater popcorn!) I think the prices at the concession stand are a bit on the exorbitant side, but once you're at the theater, there's only one place to go for snacks! Netflix, Blockbuster, or HBO are probably infinitely more economical -- but, of course, sometimes you need the big screen experience to get the full effect of the movie. And yes, I agree that there are too few G-rated movies. "Tangled" was a good family movie and so was "How to Train Your Dragon"; but, you gotta admit... a lot of the entertainment value would be lost if you watched those movies on the small screen.
Movies like Hangover and Due Date can be rated as R rated that seems to be at some point offers stuff about sex and life. Rotton Tomatoes ha also great reviews about those movies but it is a just a reality fact that R rated movies has become the major demand for fans today and most of them are teenager. So those who addicted to watch movies that are comedy or drama always want some sort of high school and college life material in the story for sure.
