Rated PG-13 for sequences of fantasy violence and frightening images. (Fair enough I suppose, in fact, this rating is right on the nose.).
Directed by David Yates (Good Job dude, I’m looking forward to seeing you direct The Half Blood Prince. I never Heard of you before, but I’m gonna make it a point to go back & look at your previous works, you left me impressed. Good eye for detail.)
Written by J.K. Rowling (Creator, if you never heard of her, I’m afraid I’m going to have to hit you with an anvil or an iceberg or something else blunt & painful, like maybe Michael Moore!) Michael Goldenberg (Screenplay, He also wrote the 2003 Peter Pan screenplay).
Starring Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Gary Oldman, Jason Piper, Charles Hughes, Jamie Waylett, Alfred Enoch, Joshua Herdman, Alan Rickman, and a whole slew of others that turned out an amazing performance.

Rated PG-13 Read Rating Note below.
Directed by Len Wiseman (The guy who directs monster movies that aren’t scary; Underworld)
Written by Roderick Thorpe (Creator, he wrote the book Die Hard was based on “Nothing Lasts Forever” It’s not a bad read) David Marconi & Mark Bomback wrote the story, Mark Bomback wrote the screenplay & it was inspired by an article entitled Farewell to arms by John Carlin (I gotta track that down)
Starring Bruce Willis, Justin Long, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Maggie Q, Timothy Oliphant, & Kevin Smith (Yeah, that’s Kevin Smith, I was like WTF? No way? But yeah, it’s him. More on that later.)
Rated Rated PG-13 for sequences of intense action violence. (I actually agree with this one. Creepy, huh?)
Directed by Sam Raimi

Starring Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst, James Franco, Thomas Hayden Church, Topher Grace, Rosemary Harris, J.K. Simmons, Elizabeth Banks, Bryce Dallas Howard, & of course the mandatory Stan Lee cameo, Bruce Campbell & Ted Raimi (It’s just not a Sam Raimi film without those 2 guys)
Rated PG for animated action violence (w00t, not “not-stop frenetic action”, but action violence nonetheless. It’s TMNT, not PPG), some scary cartoon images (Scary? Where did you see scary? I think the MPAA saw a different movie.), and mild language (So mild you’ll be asking yourself “WTH was the MPAA smoking when they rated this?”.)
Directed by Kevin Munroe, (the guy who is slated to direct the Gatchaman movie, looking forward to that one dude, now that I’ve seen your work.)
Written by Kevin Eastman & Peter Laird (Creators of the comic book, FYI Peter Laird is one of the producers too, Eastman sold his share of the turtles to Laird, so he’s not involved anymore.) Kevin Munroe (Screenplay)

Rated Something, stop pretending you give a rat’s ass, it’s a comic book movie, and you’re gonna go see it anyway, no matter what the MPAA says. (Editors Note: PG-13)
Directed by Some Dude who failed to make any sort of impression on me as a director (Editors Note: Mark Steven Johnson)
Written by Some Dude who has a copy of word, knows how type, & thinks he can direct (see above.)
Starring Nicholas Cage, Eva Mendes, Peter Fonda, Donal Logue, Sam Elliot, and some out of work actors that were just hanging out when the director said, “Hey, you guys wanna play some really suck ass supervillains? I‘ll pay ya.” at least that’s what it looked like to me.
