War For The Planet Of The Apes: exploring  its ending, and what might happen next (with major, major spoilers) I chose this poster because this has Caesar(Andy Serkis) and Nova(Amiah Miller) Caesar (Andy Serkis) and his apes are forced into a deadly conflict with an army of humans led by a ruthless colonel (Woody Harrelson).

( source ) Parents need to know that  Kong: Skull Island  is a very violent, action-packed reboot of the King Kong story. Set in the 1970s, the movie follows a group of scientists on a mission to survey a mysterious island in Southeast Asia. That's where they encounter several dangerous giant creatures, including an ape trying to protect his habitat (there are also giant birds, a spider, an octopus, and reptilian creatures). Things get pretty brutal, with victims being dismembered, stomped on, eaten, and tossed around; helicopters also crash and are ripped apart. So you can expect a high body count, with scene after scene of jump-worthy action, death, and gore. The language can also be strong, with one use of "f--k," plus several uses of "s--t," "ass," "bitch," etc. There's also some social drinking, but sex is limited to embraces and very brief implied prostitution in a couple of scenes set in Vietnam and Thailand.  Tom Hiddleston ,...

The first parts of the movie was a bit dragging, but as the movie progressed, most especially when Judah Ben-Hur was arrested for sedition because of something Dismas the Zealot did, we felt every lash and other excruciating pains.  We also felt Messala's struggle and the music added to whatever emotion we were feeling that time. Who cares if this is a Lightworkers Media production?  It's beautifully made and I must say, it's even better than the original, except for the fact that Charlton Heston was a big star and had a great impact to society whereas Jack Huston, except for being showbiz royalty, is practically a nobody compared to the stellar power of Charton Heston. Even if I have seen Jack Huston act in other movies, I think this is his bi...

There were many unnecessary s...
