Going out to the movies is a rare act for moms and dads. In this series we’ll go to the movies, so you can judge for yourself if it’s a good investment.
Rare is the sequel that surpasses the original. The Conjuring 2 is just that kind of unicorn though. Not only is it better in some ways than the original it does this while being part of the horror genre. Stop right there if the categorization of ‘horror’ puts you off from wanting to see The Conjuring 2 and consider how you might define horror.

We’re just joking about the semi-haunted swag. But after viewing The Conjuring 2 you might believe in a very large struggle of good and evil. The film portrays a family whose young teen girls were playing with a Ouiji Board and opened the door to a really evil spirit that takes over the house and one of the girls. This is one of the true tales from Ed and Lorraine Warren investigated during their decades of research.
Did you see The Conjuring? If not, see it now. It’s a masterpiece of sublime scares that manages to grip viewers without engulfing them in blood and gore. Somewhere in the 80’s ‘horror’ became synonymous with blood and gore, which is unfortunate because those two do not have to go hand in hand with a scary movie. The Conjuring and The Conjuring 2 hit the nail on the horror head. The Conjuring 2 is rated R for terror and horror violence. There isn’t much blood in the film, but there are countless life and death moments, as well as a sense of tension that lasts for 75% of the movie.
This giveaway is for four tickets to The Conjuring 2, two t-shirts (one gray and one black-both of which are large), a very spooky cup and a leather bound journal for you to capture your ghost scribbling. We’ll review The Conjuring 2 tomorrow in more detail. The movie tickets are Movie Money, so you can cash them in wherever the film is playing.

Normally when you describe a movie as not bad it’s meant as a slight. However, with TMNT: Out of the Shadows it’s meant as a compliment. For us, we expected Out of the Shadows to be bad and were pleasantly surprised when we enjoyed it. When the cartoon first came out I was a casual fan, but with our kids watching those same episodes I’m back down with Turtle Power. Out of the Shadows is better than you think it is, if you go in with the right frame of mind and are 10 or older.

How much you enjoy the film will vary as to which group you’re in and just how much you want to be entertained.

The first Bourne film was released in 2002. That was back when dystopian teen films about the end of the world; pretty vampires and Paul Blart weren’t even in development. The new Jason Bourne trailer is out and it’s simply titled Jason Bourne. Watching this reminds movie fans that The Bourne Identity was arguably the first American film the capture the kinetic, tight action sequences that are seemingly mandatory in today’s movies.

This is a spoiler free review. Children love Batman and Superman, the titular characters in one of this year’s most anticipated films. Our 6 year old gave me the sad puppy dog eyes when I said that I was going to see it. Batman V Superman is rated PG-13, some films with that rating are OK for younger kids, while some aren’t. Is Batman V Superman ok for children? No, it’s not, but it’s not good for children for a number of reasons, most which I didn’t expect.

Movie trailers can be the bane of existence for movie goers. Personally, I want to see the trailer, but I do not want you to give away the farm. The trailer for Midnight Special is fabulous and barely lets viewers know what’s going to happen in the movie, but that’s a good thing in this case.
