Movie Review: Back to the Future

Movie Title: Back to the Future. Rated PG. Adventure-Comedy. I think the movie is for older kids, twelve on up. It has about 5 offensive words, but what's worse is there's a scene with a boy trying to get a girl in a car for the wrong purposes. (Who wants to try explaining that to their eight or nine-year-old?)
The movie plot is interesting and it's well paced. The film keeps your attention throughout it. I enjoyed Back to the Future both as an older kid and as an adult. The movie is about high-schooler Marty McFly (played by Michael J. Fox) who has a dad with a confidence problem. The dad has a low opinion of himself due to the town bully whose been bothering him since they were kids. Marty is friends with the town eccentric, Doc. He's an inventor who creates a time machine inside a DeLorean (car). He plans to drive into the past or future in style. As Doc is showing Marty the car, a van full of Lebanese comes after Doc. (He was supposed to make them a bomb that actually worked.) Fleeing the Lebanese, Marty gets in the car and drives back into the past. He meets his parents and changes the course of their future. A classic scene is Marty's mom calling him Calvin because that's what his underwear tag says. Overall Back to the Future is a fun movie.

Movie Review for older kids

Movie Title: E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. Rated PG. (A couple of very inappropriate words, not for kids under 10. You don't want your kids using these words. My opinion is they were put in to make it PG.) A spaceship lands on earth. While human are trying to get a good look at it, it leaves, leaving behind a sweet extra-terrestrial. This alien hides from the humans. A boy named Elliot (Henry Thomas) finds him and takes care of him until he can help E.T. get back home. The story plays out well. And it's quite endearing how Elliot and the alien bond.
