    My concerns are:
    • Excessive violence

    • My highlights are:
    • Positive messages
    • Good role models

    Great for even young teens.

    This is a wonderful movie which follows the tale of a character called 9. He wakes up to find a bleak world full of death, finding comfort in others like himself. They work together to try to save ...

  • Movie: District 9

    I rate this titleiffyand give it5.0
    My concerns are:
    • Excessive violence
    • Inappropriate sexual content
    • Inappropriate language

      Fantastic movie for mature teens and adults.

      This was an amazing movie, first off. Everything, story, effects, characters, were perfect. However, this movie includes a ton of violence, blood, sexual references, etc. In one part of the movie, ...

    • Book: The Invention of Hugo Cabret

      I rate this titleonand give it5.0

        • My highlights are:
        • Positive messages
        • Good role models

        A great and entertaining book for children and young teens.

        This is an amazing book. I picked it up while volunteering at a local summer library program, simply because the size and cover caught my eye. The story is interesting and content is acceptable. What ...

      • TV: Stoked

        I rate this titleonand give it3.0
        My concerns are:
        • Inappropriate sexual content

        • My highlights are:
        • Positive messages

        Funny, but I only recommend it for older children.

        As an adult, I was surprised that this was on Cartoon Network. It is later in the day, but the episode I saw included a male character losing his shorts, man bits blurred, which were referred to ...

      • Game: The Sims 2

        I rate this titleiffyand give it4.0

        The Sims 2 has pros and cons. It is a fun game. There is a little sexual content (Rolling under the sheets, bubbly hot tubs.) Adult characters can drink at home bars. Sims have the ability to fight. ...

      • Game: Spore Creature Creator

        I rate this titleonand give it5.0

        Fun and Simple

        This is only part of the upcoming Spore game. The Creature Creator allows the user to create a wide assortment of monsters by putting together various body parts on a moldable body. It really isn't a ...

      • TV: The Wonder Pets!

        I rate this titleonand give it4.0

      • TV: Futurama

        I rate this titleiffyand give it4.0

        Funny, but slightly mature content

        There is no terrible mature content. Robots refuel by drinking, and often smoke. There is some sexual material, varying from episode to episode. Overall, it's alright for young teens, but not really ...

      • TV: Squidbillies

        I rate this titleiffyand give it3.0

        Not for Kids

        This is an adult show, as the ratings state. There are a lot of negative messages, so only teens who are mature enough to distinguise immature comedy from reality should watch.

      • Web site: AddictingGames

        I rate this titleiffyand give it3.0

        Careful what you click on...

        Addicting Games has something for everyone. There are often games for children (like the game with the Hydrophobic Frog trying to cross the lake) and adults alike (sniper games.) The trick is to be ...

      • DVD: Bowling for Columbine

        I rate this titleonand give it4.0

        This is a must see for all high schoolers. Although I think Micheal Moore is a little single minded and fairly rude, he makes a good documentary and a great point. This really goes in depth to show ...

      • DVD: Juno

        I rate this titleonand give it5.0

        Sweet Teen Comedy

        This was a beautiful teen comedy about pregnancy. I think there's not really too many issues. Of course there's sex, but with consequence. Language is strange, but not terrible (ex-"pork sword.")
