Youth Movie Night ~ July 21st & August 18th

Movie Nights are for HS & JH youth and begin at 7pm. Movies will be viewable by everyone! There is no cost but bring your favorite snack to share! All movie nights unless otherwise stated are in the youth room!

Below are the proposed movie selections for July.
Parents please see movie review if you have any concerns as to subject matter! These reviews come from Christianity Today (http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/movies/)

Spider-Man 3 is rated PG-13 for sequences of intense action violence. There are a few bad words, but far less than most PG-13 films, and the comic-book violence is intense but there’s little blood or gore.

The Blind Side is rated PG-13 for one scene involving brief violence, drug and sexual references. While these are issues that would normally concern for parents, they are uniformly presented as negative attributes within the film and never glorified. The one instance of fisticuffs—which coincides with the drug and alcohol use—occurs when local gangsters try to pull Michael back into his old street life. Language, considered so minor that the MPAA doesn’t even feel the need to mention it, is extremely rare and is greeted with a stern reprimand. The context of the sexual reference is in something Leigh Anne says she will do to a certain anatomical area should Michael decide to have sex outside of wedlock!
