Have you ever had that moment where you're sitting in a movie theater with you child, and you realize that you've bitten off more than they can chew? You know it's when you realize that the movie is darker/sexier/nastier than you thought, and now all you can do is sit there and let them watch, or walk out with them crying in disappointment? It used to happen to me all the time with my nieces. The MPAA rating system is crude in the extreme, so it's really not much help. (Explain to me again how one passionate kiss rates the same as a guy getting is head caved in by a zombie?) Then I discovered Kids in Mind movie reviews.
With this lovely little website you'll never go wrong again. They rate movies for sex, violence, and profanity using a 1-10 system. They also give a blow by blow of the movie, so that you can scan it for things which might cause worry. This was perfect for us since my nieces are allowed to see a fair amount of kissing etc., but they are not supposed to see gore. This site takes at least a little of the guesswork out of things.
