Going to the movie theater - choices, choices

The kids have a movie gift card and a big decision ahead of them about which movie to choose this holiday season. There are so many possibilities. Although "New Moon" is at the top of their list (they have read all the books - I have too - and really liked them), there is some debate about splurging on another one. We rarely go to the movie theater so it's a big event when we do.

I decided to round up movie possibilities so the kids (and I) could compare them all to make a choice (L. is notorious for having a hard time making a decision about anything). I thought other moms might be facing the same sort of debates at their house and figured a round up of movie trailers might help you as well.

In theaters now - New Moon (PG-13)
 

A Christmas Carol (PG)


Planet 51 (PG)



November 25 - Fantastic Mr. Fox (PG)


Old Dogs (PG)


Dec. 11 - The Princess and the Frog (G)


December 18 - Avatar in 3D (not rated yet)


December 23 - Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel (PG)


December 25 - Sherlock Holmes (not rated yet)
G. is a big Sherlock Holmes fan and has read and/or listened to many of these mystery books as well as watched any movie she can find, including a lot of retrospectives. But after watching the trailer of the latest movie-rendition of this character, I'm not so sure this is a movie for a young teen. But alas, we shall see once I can get a bit more info about it.
