Movie Review Sites 

kids-in-mind.com
enables adults to determine whether a movie is appropriate for them or their children, according to their own criteria.  Kids In Mind assigns ratings for SEX/NUDITY, VIOLENCE/GORE & PROFANITY on a scale of 0 to 10. They also explain in detail why a film rates high or low in a specific category, and they include instances of SUBSTANCE USE, a list of DISCUSSION TOPICS that may elicit questions from kids and MESSAGES the film conveys.
