What My Kids Love Now

No kids here.

House Rules

I am really 18 and live with my parents.

When the Kids Are Asleep…

My Biggest Challenge Is:

Titles You’ve Reviewed

  • Movie: Where the Wild Things Are

    I rate this titleonand give it5.0
    My concerns are:
    • Excessive violence

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

    Mature Topics, But Suitable For Kids.

    The ONLY reason I gave this a 10+ is because some kids might find it scary/violent. Ultimately, this movie really is aimed more at adults. Kids really aren't old enough to understand the themes. ...

  • DVD: Zack and Miri Make a Porno

    I rate this titleiffyand give it5.0
    My concerns are:
    • Inappropriate sexual content
    • Inappropriate language
    • Excessive consumerism
    • Drinking, smoking, or drug use
    • Negative message
    • Negative role models

    • My highlights are:
    • Positive messages

    This was a hilarious movie, but it's (as the title might hint at) FULL of sexual content. The main turn of for me in the language (f-ck doesn't concern me) are the words "n-gger" ...

  • Movie: District 9

    I rate this titleiffyand give it3.0
    My concerns are:
    • Excessive violence
    • Inappropriate sexual content
    • Negative message

      Very Bloody, Sick Movie; Very Thought-Provoking. 17+

      I was surprised that this movie didn't earn a "No Kids" from CSM. The amount of violence in this wasn't what was alarming, but how graphic it was. People literally disappeared ...

    • DVD: G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra

      I rate this titleonand give it3.0
      My concerns are:
      • Excessive violence

      • My highlights are:
      • Good role models

      14+

      It's a pretty basic good vs. evil story with some pretty cool special effects. Nothing really special. That said, it's a very violent movie (lots of close combat). A fair amount of blood ...

    • Movie: Funny People

      I rate this titleonand give it3.0
      My concerns are:
      • Inappropriate language
      • Excessive consumerism
      • Drinking, smoking, or drug use

        Funny, but long and disjointed movie.

        I laughed at this movie quite a bit, but there were definitely parts where it dragged -- for a comedy. The movie gets caught up in a subplot (for an hour or so) that never really seems to get ...

      • Music: Good News For People Who Love Bad News

        I rate this titleonand give it4.0

        Great Album :)

        A couple f-words in one song is all I've heard, otherwise it's totally acceptable. Pretty mature content about death that will probably go over most kids' heads.

      • DVD: Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist

        I rate this titleiffyand give it5.0
        My concerns are:
        • Inappropriate sexual content
        • Inappropriate language
        • Excessive consumerism
        • Drinking, smoking, or drug use

          Mature content, but a great movie!

          This movie, like the book, is hilarious but also contains a few things that you might not want your kids to hear. Namely a scene involving drag that younger kids might ask you about and it could just ...

        • Book: Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist

          I rate this titleiffyand give it5.0
          My concerns are:
          • Inappropriate sexual content
          • Inappropriate language
          • Drinking, smoking, or drug use

            A little mature, but a great read!

            This is a hilarious book, but it has some adult situations...namely lots of frank sex talk and a scene in a gay..."bar". A very interesting read overall.

          • DVD: Clerks II

            I rate this titleonand give it5.0
            My concerns are:
            • Inappropriate sexual content
            • Inappropriate language
            • Negative role models

              Hilarious movie about clerks. 16+

              Hilarious movie, but completely inappropriate for most teens. Lots of f-words, and other such profanity. Scene involving "inter-species erotica" (a.k.a. beastiality) which was really funny, but, ...

            • Game: WarCraft III/WarCraft III: The Frozen Throne

              My concerns are:

              • Educational
              • Easy to play

              CSM is wrong, this is fine for 13+

              As other people have said, CSM has their rating for this WAY off. It's a perfectly acceptable game for players aged 13 and up. It's a great strategy game. I have trouble playing some of the missions ...

            • DVD: Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

              I rate this titleonand give it5.0
              My concerns are:

              • Negative message
              • Negative role models

                Great Action Comedy.

                I'm not sure why they say "No Kids" for this. It's less violent than many other "R" movies, probably comparable to "Tropic Thunder" or "Watchmen" and doesn't have a whole lot of language either. Even ...

              • DVD: Watchmen

                • Excessive consumerism

                  Horrible movie, way too long.

                  Saw this movie at the midnight release and wasted my time with it. I also have read the book, and hated it as well. It's just a boring and really roundabout was of telling a simple story. Very ...
