Bat Mitzvah or Other Activities: For parents who'd like to scare themselves witless about what their teenage daughters just might be engaging in, go see 13. The film was co-written by director Catherine Hardwicke and the age 13 Nikki Reed (now 15, also starring in the film). Reed, who's Jewish, wrote a screenplay filled with exploits of drugs, highly illicit sex, and teen angst on a Viagra and steroids cocktail. Then she got to act it all out on screen, and she does so realistically enough to make you flinch. It's hard to imagine that the life of most 13-year-olds is quite this... worrisome, but it's also hard to not believe this well-crafted film. Just a few things to think about during your little girls bat mitzvah. As for the film, it was released at the end of August.
