Amadeus was one of the most drawn out movies that I have ever seen. It is MUCH to heavy for younger kids, and most below 14 will be bored. For violence, the movie is really scary at parts. Sex, we ...

My Biggest Challenge Is:
Titles You’ve Reviewed
DVD: Amadeus
I rate this titleonand give itLoooonnnngggg Mozart Movie
DVD: Chicago
I rate this titleiffyand give itMy concerns are:- Excessive violence
- Inappropriate sexual content
Chicago is quite the movie. It is filled with excellent, innovative dance numbers, wonderful music, and an original plot. There is also, however, a lot to worry about. Women murderers are ...
DVD: The Departed
I rate this titleoffand give itMy concerns are:- Excessive violence
- Inappropriate language
- Drinking, smoking, or drug use
The Departed is, without doubt, one of the five best movies that I have ever seen. It is excellently written, acted, and filmed. It is also brutally and graphically violent. Bloody murders, ...
TV: Take Home Chef
I rate this titleonand give itTake Home Chef is Cute, But Predictable
The Take Home Chef is a handsome Aussie (lots of flirting ensues) with a gift for cooking fabulous meals for women and their significant others. In each show, he approaches a woman at a grocery ...
TV: Good Eats
I rate this titleonand give itSpectacular Cooking Show
Good Eats is full of witty, fun food science, and some seriously delicious looking "good eats." Brown makes all of the science easy (and fun!) to understand. The comedy is completely appropriate ...
Music: "I Kissed a Girl" (CD single)
I rate this titleoffand give itCatchy Tune, Negative Messages
As content goes, I Kissed a Girl is blessedly tame compared to many other popular singles. The song never goes farther than kissing, sex-wise, but the messages are not so good. For me the same-sex ...
DVD: Twilight
I rate this titleiffyand give itMy concerns are:Twilight Didn't Dazzle
Twilight was an okay movie (it actually gets better each time you watch it) with very little iffy stuff. It was not extremely faithful to the book. As for content, the relationship between Bella ...
Web site: JibJab
I rate this titleoffand give itHilarious Political Humor
JibJab is full of funny movies that offer astute political and social commentary. My personal favorites are the year-end summaries. Parents be warned, there is sex, violence, potty humor, and other ...
Book: Naomi and Ely's No Kiss List
I rate this titleiffyand give itSo-So Book About Gay/Straight Friends
Naomi and Ely's No Kiss List is boring, sex-filled, and slightly catty. Best friends (straight) Naomi and (gay) Ely keep a list of people that neither are allowed to kiss to preserve their ...
Book: Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist
I rate this titleiffyand give itSex, Drugs, and Alcohol Galore
Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist is a mediocre story packed with drinks, making out, oral sex, abusive boyfriends, and reckless behavior. Not the sort of stuff you'd want your teen emulating. On ...
Music: "Love Sex Magic" (CD single)
I rate this titleoffand give itDefinitely NOT for Tweens/Young Teens
Love Sex Magic is chock full of breathy, steamy lyrics. The music video flashes between scenes of gyrating scantily clad dancers and a suggestively dancing couple. Not very well done. Not for ...
DVD: Best in Show
I rate this titleiffyand give itMy concerns are:- Inappropriate sexual content
Excellent, Hilarious Mocumentary
Best In Show is HILARIOUS, but not appropriate or understandable for kids under 15 or 16. There are several inappropriate sexual references (an awkward discussion of a couple's sex life)(a married ...
