Lovelyn started a meme about Recent Movie(s) that the Family Has Enjoyed.

I have not done the tag since this was sent my way and Bing tagged me to do the meme too!

~o0o~

Rules Of This Tag:

1. Link back the person who tagged you and write what was the movie his/her family enjoyed watching recently.

2. Now your turn to tell about the movie your family had just watched.

3. Tell something about the movie and spoilers are accepted (hehehee).

4. Lastly, write anything that has something to do with movies: Trivia, your top choice or favorites and why, your family’s story about your favorite motion pictures, the first film you watched with your husband, any traditional film the family ‘s been keeping etc…etc…

5. (Ooopps, I almost forgot) Copy and paste the rules of this meme on your blog and pass the tag to as many friends, bloggers and movie lovers you want. Don’t forget to tell them they’re tagged and leave a comment here if you’re done with the task.

~o0o~

My apologies, Lovelyn, I got caught up with a backlog of work and some commercial breaks in between that I neglected some posts sitting in my drafts.

Anyway, I have changed the contents of this meme since some changes happened with the movie viewing we have done. We are not much a movie-going family because the children prefers to watch DVDs at home. Fine with us. So, here are some of the movies we enjoyed at home during the Holy Week break:

1. Shaggy Dog – story about a family man who was bitten by a dog and who turned into a dog himself. The children enjoyed the movie, of course, because we have a dog and because one of their favorite pc games is about caring for pet dogs. Me? I don’t know, I was a bit bored.
2. RV – we watched this movie before but not with the children. We watched this the other night and they enjoyed it of course. They were able to relate to the homeschooling issue, the laptop (and the work), the road trip and having fun (and spats in between) as a family. After the movie, my son Julian can be seen reading an outdated (2004) magazine about RVs.
   
3. The Passion of the Christ – yes, I know, too graphic for the children. But then, we figured they have to know what the Holy Week was all about. We watched this Maundy Thursday and they were able to appreciate the story when we did our Visita Iglesia on Good Friday, especially when they saw people walking on the streets reenacting the Via Dolorosa. It also showed Jesus as a child. It tackled friendships, betrayal, grief and a host of other human emotions that run high. The movie is so intense one can almost feel the pain and the suffering. Guess what, after the Visita Iglesia, the children asked to watch the movie again, but we declined on the pretext of them having to rest first.

So there, these are some of the movies we watched just this week.

What movies have watched lately with your family, Cookie, Joni and Feng?
