Quick Parental Guidance about Movie Content

What do you do when your kids ask to see a new hit movie but you’re not sure of its content? Few parents can preview all the movies coming out, and yet who wants to leave their children’s well-being in the hands of Hollywood film executives? I’ve discovered a great resource for those who are connected to the Internet. Check out www.screenit.com/index.html for a factual, clear, and comprehensive review of all the latest films and videos.

The couple who run this site are fair and evenhanded. Rather than giving only a summary recommendation, they provide an exhaustive list of incidents from the film that parents may find objectionable–from foul language and nudity, to disrespectful attitudes and behavior you won’t want your kids to imitate. This is not censorship, it’s information. Get the facts so you can know what your kids are seeing–or if they should!
