Going to the Movies with Kids
Kids In Mind
With the holidays coming up, I was looking for a movie we all might enjoy and I discovered http://www.kids-in-mind.com which might be a good resource for years to come for the following reasons.
- They give a brief synopsis of each movie and an objective, 3-part rating based on 3 categories: “Sex & Nudity”, “Violence & Gore”, and “Profanity”. They give the movies a separate rating from 0 to 10 for each category—they assign a rating based on quantity and context.
Read their description of the rating system. - They describe the scenes in detail so you can judge for yourself if the movie would be suitable.
- They provide a movie search that lets you list movies according to the rating range that you think is acceptable. You choose a range between 0 and 10 for each category and select which of MPAA ratings you want to restrict the search to.
- Besides the comprehensive list of movies, the sidebar lists movies they’ve reviewed this week, last week, and what’s in the theatres. You can read about video releases on another page.
