Contest for Teachers from Movie Mom

Posted by Alex Sharp Mar 29, 2009

My favorite movie reviewer, The Movie Mom, is giving away some free goodies from her collection, and the rules are so very easy, but it is a contest for teachers only. All one has to do is email her. This means that the contest will be short and sweet. It is only open to teachers. She says, "I have some real treasures to give away and I want them to go to people who are real treasures. I can't think of more fitting recipients than teachers."

How sweet is that? It is reflective of her site and how kind Nell Minow is. Go to the site, explore her reviews, and if you think you'll visit it as often as I do, then - hey, it's a contest, so enter it.

Movie Mom does a lot of reviews. and teachers love her because (I'll quote myself here, as a teacher who loves her) she "from a parenting perspective. Her reviews are more concerned with the impact of the movie on children, rather than the cinematic value."

She also has a comment section so people can add their opinions. She gave Monsters vs. Aliens a B+, which surprises me enough to let my child see it, because I think it looks crude and pointless. A comment on her site confirms my suspicions, because the current top comment says the movie is , "real yawner, too loud, needless violence and almost no charm". I trust Movie Mom though, she looks at the movie through the eyes of the intended audience and their parents and teachers.
