Today is the unofficial start of the holiday movie season and here to give us the scoop on the most friendly friendly flicks and must see films -- -- Sears dot com movie critic Kevin McCarthy hey Kevin great to have you back on the show.

My fellow movie geek late night notoriety I -- about it.

It I feel the bonding and he picked at number one on his list here he picked a very -- friendly movie a lot of my tech geek friends who were older went to see this film even know it's a cartoon racquet Ralph.

Why is this what a great -- Wasn't affiliates so wildly imaginative and it's brilliant and I feel like it's a movie that like much like Toy Story.

It hits them every age group of parents won't delay because than this -- -- factor of the video games like.

Characters like Hubert pac man and for me like street fighter and rye you intend you -- -- about that.

I didn't get the kids -- -- the animation aspect of it it's the perfect movie for all ages about a -- -- An arcade game who want to become a good guy is well I think rebels in the year.

It's already a huge hit -- -- 130 million dollars in the box I was so far I highly recommend wreck -- -- okay how about rise of the guardians.

My Kindle isn't it.

This is basically avengers for kids in the you have so they have Santa Claus get Tooth -- expand man -- And -- and the Easter Bunny and they're all teaming up to protect the -- -- -- and the imagination of young children.

And they have a new guy Jack Frost and they're fighting the bogey man.

This is the movies specifically for kids I would skip the 3-D -- and -- save yourself some money but like the parents might find a little bit cheesy but -- -- kids really enjoy it is a good emotional and funny message to it.

Thank you for saying is get the 3-D so many these kids' movies.

Through these serves no purpose other than the milk us for an extra twenty bucks yeah I agree frustrates me nerds that's what.

-- we're sorry about that OK we'll just try to Nokia are here twilight breaking dawn part two latest isn't new and and Kristen Stewart.

Talking about this of this team is saying the downside of being an actress right now being recognized muscles is the -- doors -- talk about this.

It's hard to.

Be specific.

About it because they -- you start to sound like you I mean obviously -- and I don't really know anybody that runs.

Paparazzi and so I got back at the same time it's like -- I don't care it's so worth it I I genuinely loved my job so much.

Yeah and and battle -- forty million bucks a year about it all the people camp got to see this movie right.

Yesterday the highest paid -- is not without my interview with Chris Stewart the full interview -- tears dot com but this movie a particular.

This was one of the biggest magic tricks surprises I've seen -- -- -- forever I actually paying to go see it twice last weekend.

Just don't watch the crowd react to this huge surprise.

And that they what does -- that -- the PG thirteen film.

But it's very very violent the way -- get away with keeping with thirteen rating over the are -- they don't show a lot of blood -- don't take the young kids it's definitely a teenager type film.

A movie I just saw the other night and I we was fantastically just one -- sky fall in new -- yeah film this is not a kid's movie isn't.

Not at all this is below -- -- parents well go out and leave the kids at home.

This is one of the best bond films and the entire French side it is the highest grossing bond.

Of all time worldwide.

And the thing about this film of that and James Bond -- -- never been nominated for Academy Award for best picture or actor Javier Bardem deserves a best supporting actor.

I love this movie so much even if you're not a bond fan it was a dark night it transcended the genre very long -- let's let's say what -- actor Daniel Craig has to say there's product placement and all these movies and yeah.

It's yet.

I think when you kind of building the scene around it but I -- I would I just won't allow that to happen because I think it's a waste of time.

But you know I I'm very you know I'm very cut away the credit and then I mean literally other people like -- mention very rapidly.

Gave us a lot of money to make this movie and we can't -- down.

Yeah I know in fact my wife leaned over to me at one point in the movies that is Heineken won the sponsors you see them drinking Heineken throughout the movie Sony Vaio has computers set up on the running.

It is obvious.

If applied to -- -- with the problem what do you say that you don't bill that are if you don't know the scene about it it's not an issue I still think it's a little bit -- takes out of the movie I want to know what had a Heineken so I don't know what -- I don't.

-- -- -- I -- -- commercial for this next movie life of -- they were trying to suggest that it was the new avatar.

Now may -- in terms of special effects.

The previews don't get me why should I see this.

Here's the deal -- the -- sixteen year old boy stranded out of the middle of the ocean on a light boat with a tiger.

The story about finding oneself and survival it's a beautiful film but the whole next tabloid avatar thing really bothers me avatar.

-- the visual before the story was nothing more than fern -- of Pocahontas and 3-D.

Ang -- the director here puts the visuals.

Set it to the store the store is the key thing here.

But -- shot in 3-D it's a 100% worth -- -- it's one of the most.

Beautiful film that scene this year -- -- in the wonderful wonderful film and of course is based on the hugely bestselling book life -- is that kid friendly.

I ETX.

I would say younger adults.

Eight PG but there are some frightening sequences.

But it also for the younger -- -- would see Lincoln and also Hitchcock is fantastic as well -- Third -- wants to see Lincoln bad idea right.

I mean they're little it's a little slow in the beginning but it's it's that we have great history left that like maybe maybe seven years old maybe a little too young to be Taliban.

Might well want to -- -- in his aren't thank you are very much for joining us and I hit it great seeing again.

They yeah I think it.
