I didn't leave with the WOW WHAT A GREAT MOVIE feeling that I've gotten after watching other Pixar creations. And, perhaps more tellingly, my 7 yo son did not ask if we could buy it when it comes ...

Web site: KidsClick
I rate this titleonand give itGood for "classic" searches but lacking really current info
When my 7 yo son wanted to Google to find out more abt his favorite animal, beavers (ACK!), I bookmarked KidsClick for him to use instead. It's great for the vast majority of a kids' search needs ...

Web site: KidsofftheCouch
I rate this titleonand give itGreat ideas for making more of movies
Site is really for parents, not kids. There's nothing inappropriate, it's just that younger kids won't be interested.

Web site: Starfall
I rate this titleonand give itGreat site for young readers at many levels
This is one of the websites that my son's 1st grade class goes to during computer class. He liked it so much that we bookmarked it at home. He is a fluent, above grade reader but it holds his ...

Web site: Professor Garfield
I rate this titleonand give itLots of interesting games, no ads, easy interface
My 7 yo son loves to play these games. I love how there's nothing to buy!

DVD: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
I rate this titleiffyand give itWhat a let down!
Film makers took every stunt cliche they could think of and wrote the plot to string them together. ALIENS?!?! Come, on! Don't waste your money... don't even rent it, or DVR it. If it comes on ...

DVD: Kung Fu Panda
I rate this titleonand give itGREAT movie!
The CommonSense review is spot-on. This is a must-see for the 1st thru 3rd grade set. Might be ok for their kindy age siblings but preschoolers might be scared by the intense fight scenes. ...

DVD: Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
I rate this titleiffyand give itWay too violent and scary for kids
With all the hype surrounding the latest Indy film, your kids may want to see the old ones. DO NOT let them see this one!! Kids are enslaved, Indy is whipped, bad guy gets hung from ceiling fan, ...

DVD: The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep
I rate this titleiffyand give itLeave little/sensitive ones at home
As other reviewers have said, there are very scary and/or suspensful bits in this movie. 7yo son closed eyes and covered ears at several points. This movie would be great for the vast majority of ...

DVD: Enchanted
I rate this titleonand give itLeave the little boys at home
This is a cute movie but my 7yo son was bored. There's a bunch of lovey dovey stuff in the middle that he had no patience for. The commercials really caught his attention tho so he was very ...

DVD: Shrek the Third
I rate this titleiffyand give itNot even CLOSE to the previous ones
One and Two were funny. Three is not! If your kids are really desperate to see it in the theatre, go to a cheap matinee. Otherwise wait for the video. If the producers keep going in this ...

TV: How It's Made
I rate this titleonand give it6yo son LOVES this show
Personally it bores me to tears with innane commentary, over use of stock video footage, and slow pace but it fascinates my son. I let him watch while I go do something else. Absolutely nothing bad ...
