Jack Frost nipping at your nose

      As we decided to take the kids to see a movie, of course this was when Christmas was just around the corner, they seemed to be very excited about the movie we had chosen.  Today's topic,  Rise of the Guardians.

      I have to say that for all of the kid type movies, aka family movies, that were put out last year, this was by far the best I've seen.  It brings a whole new meaning to Sand Man, Jack Frost, the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny, and or course Santa Claus.  In all of the stories I've ever heard, Jack was a bad person.  However, in this very unique story, Jack is just misunderstood and no one believes in him like they believe in everyone else.

      I really enjoyed this story because it shows us how Jack Frost became who he is and how or why he was chosen to be a guardian.  When Jack was a living young boy, he had a sister.  The both of them were out on the frozen lake, only it wasn't completely frozen.  The lake still had some weak spots and the ice was cracking.  With a stick in the shape of a cane, Jack attempted to save his sister.  He switched places with his sister with one quick move, but in doing so, the frozen lake split open and Jack fell in.  Unable to escape, Jack died in the water that day and became Jack Frost.

      Jack had the opportunity to help the world.  Help keep the children believing in everyone.  However, he didn't want to at first.  That is until he saw Pitch and what he can do.  That changed everything for Jack.  This movie was a amazing and I encourage everyone to find a way to see that movie, with or without the kids (for those who don't have any).  As a adult, we tend to like a lot of the kid movies too.  Rise of the Guardians gets a 5 star rating from me.  Til next time folks...........
