Galaxy Quest (1999)
Great for older kids, however some small kids would be disturbed by the sci-fi stuff!
Older kids who are into sci fi, and adults who will be able to readily place the crew of the Enterprise into the slots of the Galaxy Quest crew will really enjoy this movie! The laughs almost always have meaning for both groups. The Thermian crew really grabs the viewer's heart - the underdogs! Tim Allen does a brilliant job of being Shatneresque.
Younger children will definitely get spooked by the alien costumes, and while there is no out and out GORE, there is the suggestion of it. There is also blasphemous expletives, which you might want to keep the kids from hearing.
Too bad...it keeps this movie from being sterling.
St. John in Exile (1986)
Accurate and reverent
This movie, of all the movies that speak of the life of Christ, was not only reverent and accurate, based solely on the Scripture, but acted as a "peek" back into the inner circle of Jesus' earthly friends. John, the apostle, speaks with wit and charm and affection for the Lord to a group of young Christians while in exile at Patmos Penal Colony. It brings the viewer closer to Jesus and to all those who have given their lives for Him. Definitely a must see.
