Sex and the City 2 was released this past Friday, and has apparently taken the second spot at the weekend box office, after Shrek Forever After. I’m glad SATC2 has been released, if only because maybe now I won’t have to hear about it any more.

You can see the nominees here.

PG-13: intense disaster sequences and some language
Well, I think we’ve watched enough disaster movies to have a pretty good idea of who survives. Though there are some surprises in that aspect too. But they have to be right. That’s part of the whole disaster end-of-world movie making formula. And yes, the writers/producers/directors followed that formula. The reason for that is quite simple: it works. Armeggedon, Deep Impact, The Day After Tomorrow – they all built on each other in magnitude and scope, but they all follow the same basic blueprint.

PG: scary images and scary sequences
Right upfront, let me make this clear: They are not kidding about the scary images and sequences. My younger kids do not frighten easily; they have seen more movies than most adults.There was quite a lot in this movie that flat out scared them – and we saw it in 3D, so it was coming right at us. There were even a few points where I jumped, and with my 5 year old cowering on my lap, well that takes some doing, let me tell you!
Now that that’s out of the way…

PG: some sensuality, language, thematic elements and smoking.
The one thing I think everyone agrees on: Hilary Swank is a dead ringer for Amelia Earhart (no pun intended!) I mean, WOW! It’s almost eerie (and so appropriate for it’s pre-Halloween release!) I suppose she sounds just like her too, not that I am an expert on Amelia Earhart’s speech and dialect.

PG-13: language, sexual references and a brief drug comment
Motherhood is a slice of life movie. It chronicles a day in the life of Eliza Welch (played by Uma Thurman), a stay-at-home mother of two and writer of the mommy-blog “The Bjorn Identity” (why didn’t I think of that?!) It starts with Eliza waking in the still dark morning, shuffling out of bed, checking on her still sleeping children, snapping a picture of her daughter, making a cup of coffee, and sitting down in her office to write her blog. Hmm… I don’t know about you, but switch out the coffee for tea (and “office” for my bed) and that describes my morning to a T.

I’ll tell you upfront, I’m a horror movie junkie. I grew up watching the black and white B movies with my dad on Saturday afternoons. Jason, Freddie and Michael Myers are as much a part of my childhood as Bambi, Cinderella and Julie Andrews.
