Watching a movie with a young child can be a dicey proposition. What can seem like a harmless kid flick can contain scenes of animal torture (The Secret of Nimh, Babe: Pig in the City) or snuffing (Bambi), the death of parents (practically every Disney flick ever made), and a host of other horrors. If you have a sensitive kid, you’ll want to know in advance what you’re going to see.
That’s where Commonsense Media comes in. Like a Consumer Reports for kids’ media, Commonsense rates movies, games, books, music, TV shows, and websites for parents. What might give parents pause? What age is it intended for? What might parents want to discuss with kids? Commonsense flags anything that might be worrisome, including violence, sex, cursing, and consumerism.
Parents can look up particular movies or games by name or age group, or get ideas for what to consume from Commonsense’s lists of recommended media picks.

“Sensitive kid”?????? M’eh! Why do we think its normal to live on a diet of horror, torture, violence and abuse. I’m 45 and I dont wanna see that stuff. We are what we put into our souls; if we meditate on violence, that is what our souls become. CSM is great. Let me get a true preview of a movie before hand - let me know is what seems like a nice innocent movie is actually disturbing and pointless violence (great example, how Bridge to Terribithia was marketed, and what it actually was)

September 12th, 2011 at 10:25 amHowdy! This is kind of off topic but I need some advice from an established blog. Is it tough to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick. I’m thinking about making my own but I’m not sure where to begin. Do you have any ideas or suggestions? Thank you
