Titles You’ve Reviewed

  • Movie: District 9

    I rate this titleiffyand give it4.0
    My concerns are:
    • Excessive violence
    • Inappropriate sexual content
    • Inappropriate language

      Only for adults, and even then ...

      This is pure sci-fi, which means there are a lot of unanswered questions and adult twists and turns with grey choices. And for kids, that may be difficult to process. Without question, this is a ...

    • Movie: Up

      I rate this titleonand give it5.0

        • My highlights are:
        • Positive messages
        • Good role models

        One of the best animated films ever made

        This movie does deal with some heavy emotions. It is perhaps one of the best animated films ever made. It will receive the Academy Award in 2010, no doubt.

      • DVD: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

        I rate this titleiffyand give it5.0

        One of the best movies ever

        If you loved Forrest Gump, then you will find this movie equally beautiful -- a high achievement -- one of the best movies you'll ever see. We highly recommend it.

      • DVD: Gran Torino

        I rate this titleiffyand give it5.0

        EXCELLENT MOVIE - for adults only

        We saw this movie at a SAG screening in Hollywood, with Q&A afterwards with the producers. My husband and I LOVED this movie. That said, we would let our 18 year old son watch it but no one younger ...

      • DVD: Cloverfield

        I rate this titleonand give it5.0

        Awesome monster movie

        My 17 year old son and I went this morning to the opening showing of this movie in L.A. We loved the movie! It is ingenious. We highly recommend this movie if you like action flicks. Sit in the ...

      • DVD: How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days

        I rate this titleonand give it5.0

        excellent comedy

        I really liked this comedy. I laughed out loud during much of it. I don't think it's appropriate for a child or younger teenager. Probably you need to be over 17 or 18 to even get a lot of the ...

      • DVD: The Great Debaters

        I rate this titleiffyand give it5.0

        great movie worth paying money for

        My husband and I saw this movie at a Hollywood industry screening before it was released to the general public. We thought it was a fantastic movie that leaves you feeling like it was worth your ...

      • DVD: Dan in Real Life

        I rate this titleiffyand give it5.0

        wonderful adult comedy without raunch

        If you want to get in a lot of laughs without having to squirm because of the vulgarity or crudeness, then this film is for you!!! This is a lovely older teen / adult comedy that is full of terrific ...

      • DVD: Michael Clayton

        I rate this titleoffand give it3.0

        somewhat boring legal thriller

        If you have lots of patience to wait for a longwinded ending with a legal theme, then you'll like this film. Otherwise, you'll fall asleep. This film's acting is just fine but it plays like the TV ...

      • DVD: 3:10 to Yuma (2007)

        I rate this titleiffyand give it5.0

        great movie -- has moral underpinnings

        This is a great adult film to go see. Depending on your child, a 15-17 year old child could also be taken to see this film -- and I would rarely say this. I wish there was such a thing as a PG-16 ...

      • TV: Mad Men

        I rate this titleoffand give it5.0

        great show for adults only

        My husband and I have watched this show since the pilot episode. It is NOT for kids under 17 -- the messages are too complicated and mature. There's enough smoking to make you get lung cancer ...

      • TV: Journeyman

        I rate this titleonand give it5.0

        great show -- hope it stays on the air

        If you have children younger than 14-15 in the room watching this show, you will be uncomfortable here and there with some mature scenes (no nudity, just mature relationships and some VERY brief ...
