Believe it or not, there was literally NO Movie, I could take my 14 year old to. I take that back, I am sure young teens and children were gleefully in the theaters this weekend, munching on popcorn, popping Dip and Dots on to their tongue as blood spattered across the screen, but, well not my kids....
Here what was playing at our two local theaters- eleven theaters, two locations, I might add...
"Rated R"
Always like the "fun ride" of a Jason Statham movie, but there is usually a lot of entertaining killing scenes, not taking my kid...
"Rated R"
Like these guys as well, but very few of their movies are kid appropriate....
"Rated R"
Don't even know what this movie is about but I'd say the poster is rather telling what it might "show"
"Rated R"
My 19 year old daughter, who I think was eighteen before I took her to a R Rated movie, said this was pretty good and I want to see it, just not with her little sister in tow! 
"Rated R"
Huh? Wonder what this movie is about?
"Rated R"
This looked fun, a little off the wall Romantic Comedy, but uhhh, not taking my kiddo, who still hides her face when people kiss, or are NAKED! I actually like that fleeting innocents in her and want to hold on to it as long as I can. Maybe the mistake of taking her to see this...
Yeah.... when he time travels, he's NAKED! and he time travels....a lot! I think she is scarred for life.
Oh, sorry, there was one PG 13 offering....
And it's a kid movie, right? Here is the description....
"Annabel and Lucas are faced with the challenge of raising his young nieces that were left alone in the forest for 5 years.... but how alone were they?"
ahhhh.....I don't think so.
Oh, if you are counting that is not eleven theater but PARKER was in two theaters and this movie...
was in several and in 3D! so you could almost touch the blood spatters as they fell at you!
Come on Hollywood!
I am debating on going off on one of my "Get a Grip Hollywood" rants or telling you a funny story to end this post. Think I will tell the story.
I remember well my first R rated movie I saw in a theater. Well back then, pre even home videos, it was the only way to see a R rated movie and it was this...
I can still hear the theme song in my head! I so wanted to see this movie, but being a "good girl" the thought of sneaking in did not occur to me, so I ask my mother to take me. She thought it would be too embarrassing to sit there with me, so I took my grandma, yup, you read right, I took my grandma, actually drove her there myself, I was 16, and she happily snacked on popcorn while we watched Debra Winger and Richard Gere, and I mean ALL of Richard Gere on the big screen, a very big screen!
My innocent was further scattered when at 19, I enrolled in Art School and took figure drawing.
But daughter #2 is sweet and innocent and it's all kind of cute right now, so, we didn't go to a movie this weekend, which is a bummer. Headed to see daughter #1 at college this coming weekend, one can only hope there is something for all of us to see!
P.S.- as also a teacher with playground duty it is boggling to the mind to watch a few kids who DID get to go see the current blood spattering movie, i.e. Hansel and Gretal, give enough cliff notes to the "innocent and sweetly ignorant kids" so that a rousing, pretend violent reenactment can happen on the playground!
