Hi, nice to meet you. I don't know how fit I am to judge how suitable 
things are for children, not having any of my own and no real 
experience with kids...I'm mostly going by how I was at that age 
(saying that, though, I saw Tim Burton's Batman and Batman Returns 
when I was about eight and I coped fine, in fact I became completely 
obssessed!) and  what I would be comfortable with *if* I had 
children. I think it all depends on the child in question, really, 
what they can handle, and what their own parents think. Screening it 
before hand is a good idea, probably something I'd do. :-)

And about Bale's accent, I met him in person at the London premiere 
of BB (after nearly nine hours of waiting outside the Odeon in the 
cold with no food, drink or bathroom breaks!) and when he spoke to me 
he sounded pretty American then. From what I've red he's lived in 
America for ten years. But he is English, though...watch "Empire Of 
The Sun" - he's a kid there but has his own British accent in it. 
That's another good movie, by the way.

Take care,
Charlie.
