More mega reviews coming from Susan Marlowe CPA!

Update November 1, 2012

Hello, one an all! I will be posting the next part of the Susan Marlowe CPA Mega Review very very soon. Just giving everyone news on the status so that you know good things are coming!

Susan Marlowe CPA asks the question: what makes a good family film?

Here is a list of 50 great family films

Do I agree with every item on the list? Of course not! However, that just illustrates my point. The definition of a family film varies from family to family. The Susan Marlowe CPA definition of a family film may be totally different from yours. So, please, read my spoilers and all the information that you can in order to ensure that the family film I suggest will work for your family. Enjoy and thank you so much from Susan Marlowe CPA!

Susan Marlowe and the Summer Movie Season

Update 8/27/2012

Greetings from Susan Marlowe CPA! Well, the Summer Movie Season is almost over. I have to say that it has been a pretty thin year for family films, at least as far as I can see. See, I love the classic family-friendly fare. This year has been mostly focused on superhero franchises. These are all well and good but they don’t really work as family films. I know that a lot of smaller children can be frightened by the action sequences and I have serious issues with the lack of female superheroes. Girls need adventure role models too! Just about the only superheroines are forced to play second or third fiddle in a boy’s movie. But there were also lots of good family films so I suppose I shouldn’t complain too loudly.

In any case, everyone, enjoy the last of the Summer movie season and have a great time at the movies!

 

Thanks from Susan Marlowe!

Susan Marlowe CPA and Brave

Update 6/18/2012

Hello from Susan Marlowe, CPA! Well, Summer is looking up. “Brave” is coming out soon and I will be first in line to see it. We all know know that I love family movies and Pixar films are certainly some of the best family films to come out in recent memory. There has just been one issue: they all feature guys in the lead. Now, I have no problem with guys being the main characters but girls need a little representation here! That’s why “Brave” is exciting. It features Pixar’s very first heroine. I love the way Pixar tells its stories and teaches lessons without being preachy. It will be nice for little girls to be able to have a  figure in the lead who reflects them. Previous female characters in Pixar films have been spunky, bold and fun. I am expecting “Brave” to deliver more of the same and then some.

Yes, I am excited about this.

Stay posted. I will be giving a Susan Marlowe review of Mirror, Mirror. That was, if you will recall, one of the two Snow White films to be released this year. I will also be comparing it to Snow White and the Huntsman. Which was more family-friendly? Which one had a better message for girls? Which film do the kids like better? Which one is better for the parents? Much to do!
