Who doesn't like Matt Damon?
I'm glad this movie is PG-13. After reading the book I thought for sure it would be R because of the language. So they must have taken out some F bombs to keep it rated PG-13.

Are all of you thinking the same thing I am? Didn't they just make a Jobs movie starring Ashton Kutcher? So I'm not sure why they made another one.

We are really excited for this movie in our family. My youngest loves Snoopy as the Red Barron and our neighbor is the daughter of Charles M. Schulz so we have a lot of love for these characters.
You have to try out this link. It is called Peanutizeme and it is so fun.You get to create your own personal Peanuts Character. Here is mine I created.
Synopsis
Snoopy embarks upon his greatest mission as he and his team take to the skies to pursue their arch-nemesis, while his best pal Charlie Brown begins his own epic quest back home.
Based off of the comic strip and Books of Peanuts by Charles M. Schulz

If you haven't read the Hunger Games series then you are seriously behind. This is the final book in the series and they broke it up into two movies. Be sure to get your tickets early.

Check out my post last year of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1

Synopsis
Told from Igor's perspective, we see the troubled young assistant's dark origins, his redemptive friendship with the young medical student Viktor Von Frankenstein, and become eyewitnesses to the emergence of how Frankenstein became the man - and the legend - we know today.
This should be interesting and fun to watch in October. Daniel Radcliffe is playing Igor.
Based on the Book Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
Coming December 11th
Rated PG-13
This was suppose to come out at the beginning of this year and they postponed it. It looks amazing and it doesn't hurt that Chris Hemsworth is starring in it.

Based on the Book In the Heart of the Sea:The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex

Oh Leo!
This movie may not be opening on Christmas Day for some of us. It has a limited opening on Christmas Day but is opening all over the U.S. in January.
Synopsis
In the 1820s, a frontiersman, Hugh Glass, sets out on a path of vengeance against those who left him for dead after a bear mauling.

Hopefully this gives you some time to read the book before the movie comes out. There are actually some good family movies in this list and with the holidays coming up we are always watching movies with our family.

I remember thinking while I was reading the Martian that I would really prefer it as a movie . . . so I'm really excited to see that one! Victor Frankenstein looks super interesting too.
