Super Bowl Monsters vs. Aliens Sneak Peek -- In 3D!
As if there wasn't already enough hype surrounding Super Bowl commercials, this year there will be commercials in 3D! This first-ever all 3D Super Bowl commercial break event will feature the premier 3D movie trailer for the DreamWorks Animation film Monsters vs. Aliens, which opens in theaters on March 27th. You can get your 3D glasses at PepsiCo's SoBe Lifewater displays in stores around the country. Or, call 1-800-646-2904 in order to obtain a pair. (The trailer and a 3D SoBe commercial are set to air at the end of the second quarter of the game, which airs on NBC on Sunday, February 1, 2009. )
The 3D trailer and commercial will be broadcast using Intel's InTru 3D technology, which is supposedly superior to the red/blue 3D glasses we are used to using for home 3D viewing. I can't wait to see how good it really is, as the recent 3D DVD releases (Journey to the Center of the Earth and Polar Express, for example) have been disappointing. If some company could perfect a good home 3D viewing technology, the in-home family viewing experience would be changed forever.

Question: If I have a 10 year old child in the home. Is it safe for the child to view a movie that is listed as “Not Rated.” I read up on what all the movie ratings involve. Could a movie listed as This Movie Is Not Rated, be a R or PG type movie? Thanks Bill
Hi Bill,
The movie rating system is completely voluntary, so many films and DVDs are not rated. A “Not Rated” movie could be anything from G to R, and probably worse. Many direct-to-DVD kids movies are not rated, so it definitely doesn’t mean the movie is bad. But if it looks at all questionable, the only way to tell if a movie is OK for your child is to preview it first.
