  • Movie: Ninja Assassin

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

      Anime-influenced gory ninja film is just plain awesome and revitalizes a forgotten genre

      I saw Ninja Assassin at midnight, because I was anticipating it ever since it was announced last summer. After the MPAA rating was announced, I anticipated it even more. I was expecting an extremely ...

    • Music: "Fireflies" (CD single)

      I rate this titleonand give it5.0

      Finally - a song deserving its hype. Every bit of it.

      "You would not believe your eyes if ten million fireflies lit up the world as I fell asleep..." Sounds like your ordinary, everyday innocent pop song. But this is more than that. It's ...

    • DVD: Pulp Fiction

      I rate this titleiffyand give it5.0
      My concerns are:
      • Excessive violence
      • Inappropriate sexual content
      • Inappropriate language
      • Drinking, smoking, or drug use
      • Negative role models

        Excellent, excellent film

        Obviously, Pulp Fiction is Tarantino's best work, and I've seen all of his films except for Death Proof. In Pulp Fiction, Tarantino combines 4 plots that seem like they're ...

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

        We are all precious...and this movie proves it

        I saw this film at a film festival with my parents, and was immensely moved by Clareece "Precious" Jones' story. In this film, she (played by the excellent Gabourey Sidibe) has a life ...

      • DVD: Repo! The Genetic Opera

        • Negative role models

        • My highlights are:
        • Positive messages

        This slasher-musical hybrid is very entertaining. In a dystopian future, a mass organ failure occurs, causing a company called GeneCo to offer organ financing. Led by GeneCo's presence in this ...

      • Movie: Paranormal Activity

        I rate this titleiffyand give it5.0
        My concerns are:
        • Inappropriate language

          How can an insanely low budget and a few unknown actors make a scary horror movie? It worked for the Blair Witch Project. Ten years later, it works (though not as much) for Paranormal Activity. The ...

        • TV: South Park

          I rate this titleiffyand give it5.0
          My concerns are:

          • Drinking, smoking, or drug use
          • Negative role models

          • My highlights are:
          • Positive messages

          The best (and most controversial) satire ever made

          Let me get this out of the way real quick...South Park should never, ever, EVER, EVER be watched by ANYONE under the age of 13. And I mean it. This show is not politically correct in its treatment of ...

        • Movie: Zombieland

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

            Like zombies? Then this is one trip you (and your teens) don't wanna miss

            This film is comic gold. Zombieland is basically a post-apocalyptic zombie-fighting comedy road movie. You'll be scared in some parts, while in others you'll wet your pants laughing. From ...

          • DVD: The Wizard of Oz

            I rate this titleonand give it5.0

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

              Who doesn't like this movie?

              Not every film has the critical acclaim The Wizard of Oz does. It's simply too timeless. Even though it's a 70-year-old movie now, it still looks good compared to most other films these ...

            • Game: Dead Space: Extraction

              Dead Space Zero, basically. Yet another awesome on-rail shooter for the Wii!

              The Wii has some very good shooters: the Resident Evil Chronicles series, House of the Dead Overkill, HotD 2&3 Return, Call of Duty: World At War, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, and The Conduit. ...

              My concerns are:
              • Inappropriate sexual content
              • Inappropriate language

                Compared to most rap, actually not that bad

                The unedited version of this song has the words "sh*t" and "d*ck" (as well as the words d*mn and *ss) but that's still not as bad as most rap songs go. And yes, there's ...

                  EXCELLENT FILM, but don't let a kid under 14 near this...

                  A bank heist goes extremely wrong in Quentin Tarantino's amazing debut. This is very typical Tarantino, so kids under 13 should NEVER see this movie until they reach that age. Common Sense was ...
