Movie Reviews
Lights, Camera, Action!
Never before have our children been exposed to so much media, but more importantly never before has the media been able to influence and mold the opinions of our children no matter what their age.
As parents, it is our job to wade through all of the cultural influence and help our children make good decisions on their entertainment choices. It is also important that we are setting good examples for our children for healthy and moral choices in entertainent.
The big question is how do we do this and where do we go for help?
U.S. Catholic Conference's Office for Film and Broadcasting
Movies are rated according to artistic merit and moral suitability. This site reviews currently weekly box office releases as well as having an extensive archive movie list. Rating categories give a clear indication of appropriate viewing for each member of your family. If a movie has been out since the 1960/70's you will find a review!
Decent Films Guide
The Decent Films Guide exists to help make available to movie watchers information they need to make wise decisions about the film choices available to them, and to promote thoughtful, critical evaluation of movies, particularly from the perspective of the historic Christian faith.
Plugged In!
Movies are reviewed within the context of the following categories:
Great selection of Archived movies as well as TV and Music Reviews.
Here's what families are saying about these resources:
" Before our teens even ask to see a movie they check it out themselves on the Bishop's website. It has made our job a lot easier and there is no fighting about whose friends have seen what movies!"
"We use these sites to review movies when at the video store. If we are unsure about the movie we call home on our cell phone and within minutes we know if a movie is appropriate for the evening. No more starting movies and turning them off - disappointing everyone and ruining the evening!"
