    #2 all time for me

    This is one of the best movies ever made. Out of the hundreds of films I have seen, this seems to stand above the rest. The dramatic tension, the incredible story, the acting is incredible, and it ...

  • DVD: Mr. Smith Goes to Washington

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

    Absolutely amazing film that still delivers even though it is 70 years old.

    This is one of the movies in my top 10 list. It is a fantastic example of what HollyWood can produce. This movie excels at story telling, strong character development, and near perfect acting. This ...

  • TV: Jon & Kate Plus 8

    I rate this titleiffyand give it1.0
    My concerns are:
    • Negative message
    • Negative role models

      Not anymore the wholesome family we came to know and love

      This is a tough review for me, because I come from a dysfunctional family where my dad was always sick (he would later pass away when I was 14), my grandparents hated my guts, I was disowned by my ...

    • DVD: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

      • Excessive consumerism
      • Drinking, smoking, or drug use
      • Negative message

        Pass it up

        Not the worst movie of the summer, but don't waist your time. It just disappointing to me that they rely so much on special effects and not story. I expected a lot more out of a Transformers movie ...

        • Negative message

          This film needs to clean up its act

          This is the dirtiest film (outside of Team America World Police) I have ever seen. Is it funny? Sort of. It is Clever? Sometimes. Is it appropriate for anyone under the age of 17? NO! If you can ...

        • Movie: Terminator Salvation

          I rate this titleoffand give it4.0
          My concerns are:
          • Excessive violence
          • Inappropriate language

            Everything goes BOOM

            I enjoyed this film. Yes there are a few flaws to the film, but the last 1/3 of the film makes up for every one of the flaws I can come up with. What parents need to know about this is that there are ...

          • DVD: The Patriot

            I rate this titleiffyand give it4.0
            My concerns are:
            • Excessive violence

              Good acting, deep story, minimal swearing, but tons of violence

              This is an incredible movie. This movie truly shows what the revolutionary war was like for us who were not there when it took place. However, this is one of the most violent films you will find ...

            • DVD: Ali

              I rate this titleiffyand give it4.0
              My concerns are:

              • Drinking, smoking, or drug use

                "The Greastest"

                This is Will Smith at his best. This is a true to life biography of "The Greatest" Ali. There are a few moments in this film that could come across as iffy, but they are there to show what really ...

                • Negative message

                  No, just, no

                  This is one of the worst movies ever made. I wouldn't even force my worst enemy to watch it. The only thing is movie is about is sex, sex, and more sex. There is a lot of language, there is a ton of ...

                    Not another bad Nicolas Cage movie

                    This is not the worst movie I have ever seen, but it is pretty bad. I went to see this because in recent years Nicolas Cage has made some bad movies, but I had hope for him in this film. All my ...

                  • DVD: Watchmen

                      No one under 17

                      Parents be warned, this is not like any other superhero film, it earned its R for many things like the fact there are a few “scenes”, and there is more language than American History X. Unlike ...

                        Worst film ever

                        Okay, I enjoy a good comedy (ex. Napoleon Dynamite, Tropic Thunder) but this is far from a comedy. All the "jokes" are bland and tasteless. This movie set a new record for time getting me out of a ...
