Film or No Film ?
Can you really justify the cost of going to the Movies? If you add the cost of Popcorn, parking (if you’re in a City), and tickets you’re looking at a princely sum.
It is almost an unwritten rule that at the climax of the film, or when then have the best scene, your young dates will cry ‘We need the toilet!’.
Also, some kids, including my daughter, wont so much as flinch when some bug or monster comes on the TV screen, but in a theater where said beast is 40 foot tall, she’ll scream her lungs out!
I often let my daughter watch the extended trailers for new films on the Apple Quicktime movie trailers site. They are great quality, and give an idea of the sights and sounds of the films.
So if you can’t wait until the DVD comes out, then just try to be prepared;
Sort out some quiet snacks.
Take another adult so you can take turns for toilet trips.
Some theaters have a family show on Saturday morning, where it’s cheaper to get in.
A couple of films my family are looking forward to are;
Pirates Of The Caribbean - At World’s End - Preview
Ratatouille - Preview
Surf’s Up - Preview

We go to the movies mostly in the summer. Once a week my theater had free (older) kids movies. It is fun and gets us out of the heat.
