Upcoming Kids' Movies (and why I don't want to watch them)

Last week I wrote about my somewhat traumatic experience taking my son to see "Rango".  I enjoyed the movie okay, but, let's face it, if I didn't have a kid to bring with me, I'd have spent my movie tickets on "The Adjustment Bureau", and would have waited for the kiddie movie to be released on DVD.

But, one of the good and bad things about being a parent is that you go see a lot of kids' movies.  It's good when it's a movie you want to see, because then you have an excuse to go (me seeing "Gulliver's Travels", for instance), but it's bad when it's a movie you really don't want to see.
