Hearts in Atlantis (2001)
Delightful and nostalgic
This film made me think of films like "Stand By Me" and "My Girl". It was a quiet film, rather a relief from the raucous, action-filled movies of today or the silly fluff of many others. A wonderful exploration the a child growing up, his friendships, first love and challenges he faces. The boys performance was very believable, and Sir Anthony Hopkins, as always, is wonderful. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this film.
Scary Movie (2000)
Trailer looked funny, what I didn't bargain for was offensively obscene.
The trailer to me indicated a spoof of the horror film genre, done in a light and humorous fashion that our family could watch and enjoy together. Ratings in Canada were different than the US, and my 11 and 14-year-old attended with my husband and myself. What the trailer did not indicate was the extremely crude and offensive sexual content, far beyond what we considered allowable in a movie rated such as it was. We were thoroughly disgusted, from scenes of male climax to exposed body parts in a bathroom cubicle. We were shocked beyond description, and had much to explain to our 11-year-old in particular. Families, stay away from this one!
