Reviews
Conservative Christians who are worried about finding appropriate films for themselves and their children will appreciate this comprehensive guide to all of the major movies that have been released in the last decade. Baehr's reviews are carefully explicit, and many parents will be thrilled with the precise "content analysis" appended to each review, detailing how many profanities are used, what the violent scenes entail and whether there are any sexual situations or nudity. The book's ratings system is based on a movie's moral and political suitability for evangelical Christians as well as its artistic merit, resulting in one score for quality and one for "acceptability." Strangely, though, critic pans like Left Behind, Jurassic Park III and Kate and Leopold get high marks for artistic quality here. Some Christians may also disagree with Baehr about what is and is not morally acceptable; the first Harry Potter movie, for example, gets the worst-possible acceptability rating for its "occult, pagan worldview." The reviews are current up through the first half of 2002; for more recent reviews, Baehr suggests logging on to his Web site, www.movieguide.org.
