My husband and I are very vigilant about that. BUT...Hollywood does have a responsibility too in their marketing. We went to a PG rated movie (my kids were 6 & 7) and the previews scared my kids. The movie was fine but the previews were loud and violent. That was disappointing. Not all PG movies are ok for my kids, but this one was and honestly there are very few G rated movies out there these days. And this is only one example of inappropriate marketing. Don't get me started on commercials shown on tv and when they are shown. So I agree with her to a point.

I volunteer working with kids 5-8.. and you would be shocked at the movies they go to see. And then their parents take the high moral ground.(yeah right...hypocrites. I like her and would love for her to make a kick-ass movie with Angelina.. Maybe aliens invade enslaving the male population at the same time and they have to work and kill them all while rescuing all the men.. Swoooning.. Then they both ride off on motor bikes.. (can you see it... I can.) She and Angie are the only women I believe when they are holding a gun. Don't need to be protected.. and be the hero and you trust them.. LOVE IT and love them both.. clapping loudly I agree with some of what she says. I volunteer working with kids 5-8.. and you would be shocked at the movies they go to see.

Her brother was around 14 when he was begging her to be in Resident Evil, why weren't their parents or her monitoring his violent movie/video game watching? To me it's like offering kids candy, and then beating up on parents when the kid takes it. I dont think it's quite fair of her to make violence so sexy and alluring and then say it's the parents' fault when kids watch it. The target audience is mostly teenagers! Sorry, I'm probably reading way too far into this, but it still kind of makes me mad. Isn’t this kind of hypocritical?

There are a lot of perfectly fine, non-violent and non-sexual anime out there. A lot of it is what you see during "kid's hours" on TV. It's the stuff on tv later in the evening that's not kid-friendly. And of course there's lots available outside of what is seen on TV too, but it usually hasn't been cleaned out or toned down the way the stuff that makes it onto "kid's tv" has. @ girl – It depends on the anime.

If you're going to do it, however, you might as well be accurate. She is a Serbo-Ukranian actress-model...

My mom raised me and my brother alone. She allowed us to watch, read, and listen to whatever we happened to gravitate to -- and we are both intelligent, productive, and compassionate people. Like she is. Not to sound braggy, 'cause I'm sure most if not all of you are fabulous too :) Jussayin. Well-said, Ally.
