Mommy Life: Movies - It's all about choice

Barbara Curtis loves movies. She used to go to funky movie houses in San Francisco in the 1970s. Then she became a mother and didn't get out as much. And then she became a Christian, and didn't want to watch some of the films she had before. And then the movie industry changed course.

I like how she puts it:

Add to that the fact that movies were getting darker and darker - It's been a long slide from Academy Award winners like Sound of Music and Ben Hur to American Beauty and Mystic River (ugh - what an ugly movie that was!)

But she still loves movies. It just takes a little more research beforehand, to weed out the ones not worth watching.

She shares the sites she depends on for reviews, praises the people who are working to remind Hollywood that their biggest money-makers are family-friendly films, and encourages support for Christians who are engaging the culture through film and other creative endeavors.
