  • DVD: The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers

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

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

    Really good movie, but very violent

    This movie is outstanding and the battle sequences are all top notch. The music, voice acting, make up etc. are all much better than most movies and the messages and characters are very uplifting. As ...

  • DVD: Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera

    I rate this titleonand give it5.0

      • My highlights are:
      • Positive messages

      One of my favorite movies of all time

      It is beyond me why people criticize this movie on so many different sites. Sure, Gerard Butler is not the world's greatest singer, but he is still pretty good. Nor can I see why people say this ...

    • TV: Fanboy and Chum Chum

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

        Just don't watch this...unless you don't care about your brain

        This show is just plain stupid. I would not be suprised if we were told that the makers of this show were high on drugs while they made it. The show lacks any originality whatsoever. As usual, this ...

      • TV: Back at the Barnyard

        I rate this titleiffyand give it3.0
        My concerns are:
        • Negative message
        • Negative role models

          It's ALRIGHT

          This show is fairly tame compared to the movie (which, I admit, I've never seen but simply seeing the ads has given me enough insight to tell what this movie actually is) but it is still pretty ...

        • TV: Total Drama Island

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

          • My highlights are:
          • Good role models

          Really good show

          Total Drama Island is a really good show which is a welcome break from the usual junk shown on Cartoon Network anymore. However, there are a few things that need to be addressed. First of all, ...

        • DVD: 300

          Nice war movie if you're into spewing blood

          This movie could have been really good if it hadn't been drowned in the bloodbath that it is. Battles take up almost the entire second half of the film and are all really blood including severed ...

        • DVD: Star Wars: Episode III: Revenge of the Sith

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

            Easily the most adult oriented of the Star Wars series

            None of the other Star Wars movies are that bad, so this one isn't going to be either, right? Wrong. This is easily the darkest of the series and involved several things that could deeply upset ...

          • TV: George of the Jungle

            My concerns are:

            • Negative role models

              Really stupid show

              This is one of the stupidest shows ever. It is the perfect example of why you should not let cartoon channels get ahold of your movies: they will turn it into garbage like this. This show has some of ...

            • DVD: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

              BEST MOVIE EVER

              My personal favorite of the trilogy, this movie is very well done and not needlessly gory like a lot of movies that are being made nowdays. Everything about the movie is top notch and the only thing ...

            • TV: The Penguins of Madagascar

                Best show on Nick

                One reason I love this show is that its humor is simply a refreshing break from all the stereotypical humor possessed by most other Nick shows. Yes, it's cute too.

              • TV: The Penguins of Madagascar

                  Best show on Nick

                  This show may actually end up saving Nick in the long run. With the newly released shows being pieces of garbage and old, used-to-be-good-but-not-so-much-anymore shows like Spongebob running ...

                • DVD: Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs

                  Buck redeems this otherwise mediocre movie

                  Okay, so to start off my review, I will say that almost everything in the movie was mediocre. The CGI effects were great, but the plot and jokes were somewhat tired and was a clear sign that Ice Age ...
