Kids In Mind

If you haven't heard about Kids In Mind yet, it's defiantly a site you want to bookmark.  It lists movies and rates them across three categories: sex and nudity, violence, and profanity.  We have found this site to be so much better than going by traditional movie ratings.  So many times we will start a PG 13 movie only to have to turn it off because it was so offensive.  On the other hand, we have been able to find some very good movies that were rated R, yet had very little concerning content.  The site also lists in detail each offending scene so you can decide for yourself if the movie fits in with your standards.  It sometimes gives away the plot, but it's helpful for knowing when to hit fast-forward.  The number rating system is very consistent.  In our house, we avoid anything above a 5 in sex and nudity.  It's worked well for us, but we also have older teenagers.   I miss the good old days when we had a subscription to Clean Flicks and could watch anything we wanted without fear. (except for the horror movies - those were still scary ;-)
