Some people think that in order for an action movie to be good, like the expendables, there needs to be a lot of cussing and gore. Which is simply not true. There are several examples of movies that are very good, with not much of that stuff at all.

The first one is STAR WARS

Star Wars is an awesome movie (or series of movies) with almost no profanity (if any) and no blood or gore.

The second one that I can think of is IRON MAN

Iron Man (especially Iron Man 2) is FULL of action and explosives with not much profanity and I don't remember any blood or gore.

The third (and very recent) one is THE AVENGERS

The Avengers is a GREAT move, even beat the record in the box office, and it has almost no profanity and no blood and gore (at least not that I remember).

I was reading online and I could see the sheer outcry of the people when they were told that The Expendables was going to be PG-13. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE R TO BE GOOD!!!! In fact it's better if it's not!

The Hunger Games

I watched "The Hunger Games" yesterday.

All I have to say to that is.... O....K.... anytime a movie leaves me with more questions than answers it's not a good thing. Like, how and why did the little "alliance" form during the game, Why did the boy from district 12 join the alliance and try to hunt down the girl that he was clearly in love with. Then he just joins her and helps her defeat the rest of them?? Why did the fighting break out in district 11?? She's not even from district 11!!

On a scale of 1 to 10 I would have to rate THG as a 4, it was good, but not that good.

Another thing is the brutality of the fighting in the movie. When you see a fight scene like this:



It's just cool, but when you see one like in THG it's just barbaric and wrong. People hacking other people up with axes and swords is just cruel and there is little reason behind it.

The Lorax

I watched The Lorax in the theater on monday. I thought it was great!! It was really funny!! This was one of my favorite Dr. Seuss books when I was growing up and I think that they did a really good job of expanding the story (and even adding an extra villain).
