Dear Hollywood,

Where are all the kids' movies? Maybe I haven't been paying attention but it seems like G-rated movies barely exist anymore. Am I wrong? We've been jazzed about taking Vincent to his first movie for a long time now but every time we look at the listings, there's nothing.

He was a little young when Cars and Over the Hedge came out but since then there's been what - Charlotte's Web (too sad) and Meet the Robinsons (too much for a 2 year old, methinks)? I did a little research (By "a little" I mean 30 seconds) and it seems that only about four G-rated movies come out each year. It sure seemed like more when I was a kid. Where is this generation's Follow that Bird?!

Now that we're getting into summer, there better be some family films out there. Anybody out there have any word on what's coming out? This drought is getting to be too much.

Recommendations welcome.

You won't find what you're looking for in any movie theater. The video store's where you should be headed.

There you'll find a bounty of treasure with beauties like:

Air Bud
Like Mike
Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo
Clue: The Movie
Clue: The boardgame
SNL: The best of Gilbert Gotfried

I thought 28 Weeks Later was a thoroughly enjoyable film for the whole family. Soen hasn't stopped talking about it ever since. It's so cute how every time my wife or I approach him he screams, tears out his hair, and starts rocking back and forth, mumbling about flesh eating zombies. Ah kids.
