Movie Reviews for Designated Conservative Parents

Family-friendly and kid-friendly movies with a good message are becoming ever harder to find.  “G” rated movies are a rarity, even fromWalt Disney Studios - which once defined the genre.  “PG” rated movies are hit or miss – they might be appropriate for children, or they might not.   Worse yet, today’s “PG-13″ rated movies look too much like older “R” rated films, illustrating the “ratings creep” phenomenon identified in a 2004 Harvard University study.
