Family-Friendly Rating: “Enjoyable” silent romantic comedy starring “America’s Sweetheart” Mary Pickford and her future husband Charles “Buddy” Rogers whom she would marry almost 10 years later (after the death of her first husband, Douglas Fairbanks). Any read more

Family-Friendly Rating: “Highly Recommended” for everyone in the family, especially animal lovers. There is a nasty fight between the two sheep herding dogs, some other scenes with aggressive dogs and some uncomfortable moments that deal with the slaughter of animals but these are brie read more

Family-Friendly Rating: “Highly Recommended” for the entire family, especially if anyone happens to love dogs and cats. Besides a few wise cracks and some fat jokes from Sassy the cat there is absolutely nothing objectionable about anything in the film. Your children may be disappointe read more

[note: see the King Kong Comparison for a breakdown of all three versions, 1933, 1976 and 2005] Family-Friendly Rating: “Avoidable” remake that is long, mostly boring and awkward for family viewing not only for the same kinds of violent scenes in the original King Kong (1933) but for th read more

Family-Friendly Rating: “Highly Recommended” classic Disney film that you may not have seen in a while but always good for the entire family. The famously tragic scene when Bambi’s mother is shot and killed is the only real objectionable content and since the gunshot is only hear read more

Family-Friendly Rating: “Enjoyable” and could be “Highly Recommended” if not for the violent action scenes not appropriate for young children and some sexual content that will produce a few awkward moments if viewing together as a family. There are however some very good fa read more

[note: see the King Kong Comparison for a breakdown of all three versions, 1933, 1976 and 2005] Family-Friendly Rating: “Enjoyable” but only if your kids can handle the fairly extreme action violence which takes up a large part of the movie. If so, and you and the family are interest read more

Family-Friendly Rating: “Enjoyable” classic sci-fi adventure for the entire family if you don’t have problems with some of the violence. The MPAA gave this movie a “PG” rating for “sci-fi violence and brief mild language”. The violence isn’t graphic read more

Family-Friendly Rating: “Avoidable” for family viewing unless you think everyone can handle the “intense science fiction terror” as the MPAA describes their “PG-13″ rating, or what I would call graphic violence that makes this movie an actual horror flick. These read more

Family-Friendly Rating: “Highly Recommended” and still considered by some as the greatest movie of all time. This one is best for members of the family old enough to enjoy the adult themes in the story and who can handle the 2 hour running time. The movie is famous for many things, inc read more

Family-Friendly Rating: “Highly Recommended” but not for young children as there are some scenes of violence. Otherwise most of the 125 episodes are safe enough to watch with the entire family. You will either love the neurotic Adrian Monk or you won’t. If you do, then you̵ read more

Family-Friendly Rating: “Highly Recommended” piece of film history but could be boring for members of the family who aren’t prepared for this long, romantic drama that runs almost 4 hours. It should probably be watched over two nights with a break at the film’s intermission read more

Family-Friendly Rating: “Enjoyable” comedy musical that may not amaze and entertain the way it did when it was first released in 1979 (not to be confused with 2011′s The Muppets) but this is still a funny and entertaining movie for all ages. The Muppets were very popular at the t read more

Family-Friendly Rating: “Enjoyable” but potentially “Avoidable” for the “mild action and rude humor” that earned the PG rating, if you are sensitive about this kind of content. I didn’t find it quite as funny as the earlier installments but it still has cu read more

Family-Friendly Rating: “Enjoyable” musical comedy adventure suitable for all ages but it doesn’t quite stand the test of time and not likely to capture the imagination children as it may have for the those in late 60s or 70s. I decided to revisit the film after someone suggested read more

Family-Friendly Rating: “Highly Recommended” but does have some brief profanity that may have earned it the PG rating. This shouldn’t turn you off to this otherwise wonderful movie that I would recommend as a great one to watch on Father’s Day. As I recently watched this fi read more

Family-Friendly Rating: “Highly Recommended” interactive series for young children that still airs on Nick Jr. and available on DVD. In most episodes the animated dog named Blue plays a game with both the audience and the host of the show (either Steve or Joe) using a series of 3 clues read more

Family-Friendly Rating: “Enjoyable” especially for young girls. My only concern about it remains an issue that I have come to think of as “unnecessary cleavage” which refers to the very small top coverings for the female mermaids. I don’t remember hearing any controve read more

“Highly Recommended” short film. In 1930′s New York a racist barber named Harry changes his mind after his experience with magical trumpet. Official Website: Swing of Change Swing of Change (2012) Directed by Harmony Bouchard, Andy Le Cocq, Joakim Riedinger, Raphael Cenzi running read more

Family-Friendly Rating: “Highly Recommended” comedy that is a perfect choice for a family movie night. It runs slightly longer than most animated films at 1hr 35min and there is a lot of material, cute bug-themed jokes and a number of smaller adventures strung together. There are a nu read more
