RE: A Geeky Dad's Movie Guide: Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children

in #movie-review8 years ago

All I needed to know that it was not for kids under 10. We thought about this movie but wasn't sure about the content. Nice current movie review. Following.

Sort:  

I'm overly cautious when it comes to scary stuff. Me and both my kids are scaredy cats... I don't want to risk nightmares lol. My son is 11 and he was a bit scared (just enough to be exciting) My 9 year old daughter would have had trouble.

Agreed. My daughters are 7 and 8. I have been carefully curating their movie experiences. Meaning, we watch the movies that I saw when I was a kid. They don't watch avengers. We start with christopher reeve and superman. That is how I want to introduce them to film. Like, instead of watching Miss Peregrines, we decided to watch Indiana Last Crusade. Of course they loved the first two but were scared in some parts. Like in the last part of Ark, and Onum shiba Onum shiba heart pulling in Temple of doom. The worst one that backfired on me was when I showed them Gremlins last year. Dude, they couldn't go anywhere around the house alone at night after that one. Again, nice review, cheers.

I showed my son an version of raiders of the lost arc that I had edited when he was really little. Still loves it. They loved last crusade as well. We skipped temple of doom.

So you just took out the end part where they melted/exploded? Hey, doom was so awesome. Short Round man!

I edited out the scene where marion runs into the skeleton in the tomb, the face melting, the propeller scene and a little swearing. Couldn't do the heart scene in doom.
