This is a dark, dark movie. Not quite horror, but is right between PG-13 and R. I would have rated this PG-3, but it still isn't necessarily appropriate for younger teens and preteens. ...

- Inappropriate language
- My highlights are:
- Good role models
What do you need besides a miracle?
Lots of action. Action that may be violent, but okay for anyone 12 and up. This is a very similar movie to others made around or before this time, such as "Robocop," and "The ...

DVD: The Terminator

- Inappropriate language

I agree with Common Sense.
Everybody loves robots, from Robby, to R2-D2, to this. This is an extremely violent classic, but it's okay for teens and up. It's not just the violence that makes this a no-go for little ...

DVD: Mr. Bean's Holiday
I rate this titleonand give itRowan Atkinson returns better than ever.
"Mr. Bean's Holiday" is a return of a favourite comedy character, Mr. Bean, and kids will love it. It is filled with humour, and they will want to watch it over, and over again. The word "damn" is ...

DVD: Superman: The Movie
I rate this titleonand give itYou and the whole family will soar with fun!
Terrific, and original! Your kids will want to see the Superman movie, for sure. It is one that I would definitely recommend for even younger kids. There is very little language (if any) and the ...

DVD: Jurassic Park
I rate this titleiffyand give itDated, but very realistic.
Many, many, many young kids love dinosaurs. They will wear dino PJs, and play with dinosaur action figures, and they will definitely want to see a dinosaur movie. This is tough to do. When your ...

DVD: King Kong (2005)
I rate this titleiffyand give itExcellent, spectacular action movie: might scare younger children.
My two older kids say this movie, and they enjoyed it. They wouldn't even stand up to go to the bathroom until it was over, which was very strange. The movie is great, but it's 3 hours long. If ...
