Damned MPAA!

For those of you with kids, I want to recommend this terrific site. At FamilyMediaGuide.com they rate movies so that parents know exactly what to watch out for. The line between PG and PG-13 is so blurry that this site is a godsend to me. Each movie is evaluated for sex, violence, and profanity.

They even go into further detail for each category, stating the exact words uttered and how many times they're uttered, what type of sexual activity occurs on screen, and all the instances of violence.

It's just a fantastic tool for making informed decisions. I use it mainly for guidance in rentals because they're not always super-fast to rate movies in the theatre. Give it a try!
