Sister Act
I put a warning on this for some violence and the theme of gangsters and call girls, but those themes are a small part of the overall story. It's cute and the kids will love it, at least mine do.

The Amazing Panda Adventure
This is a great movie if you've just adopted a Chinese child. If you've watched this movie before traveling to China, you think "oh that's just low budget stuff that wouldn't happen in reality." Then you see a lot of the same stuff in…
Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace

This movie has not been released to the theaters yet.

Batman Begins
This is my favorite Batman movie. There area few scenes that are violent which may not be good for kids under 13.
Yes, it is the story of the beginning of a character and that is my favorite of any series.

The Young and Prodigious T.S. Spivet
This movie is about not fitting in and guilt over past actions. It can be a conversation starter.
