We often get emails asking why movies like Saving Private Ryan or the latest rated R feature film
aren't reviewed. For us, the answer is simple, because we have several reasons.
The number one reason for no R reviews is because some of us refuse to see them by our own
choice and feel that due to the content of those movies and the nature of this site, we have no
business seeing them and the reviews have no business being here. We feel a movie is usually rated
R ("Restricted") for a pretty good reason (which personally researching the movie always proves),
and we have decided to draw a line there. We try to pick our movies wisely (with failure at times),
but have decided to see nothing higher then PG-13.
We would like you to know we do not condemn those who do see them in any way, it's just
our personal conviction. But we do not want to ever promote those films in any way either.
For up-to-date detailed reviews of all current movies and their content, including
R rated films, please surf on to Kids In Mind.

**As of February 2004, we have made the decision to see and review one R-rated film. That
film is Mel Gibson's The Passion Of The Christ. The
film is rated R because its portrayal of the crucifixion of our Lord Jesus is done in a realistic
and graphic way to really show people just how much He really suffered for us. We feel this is one of the only
truly justifiable portrayals of graphic violence on film, and one of the only R-rated movies ever worth viewing.
As Christians, we feel we should know and see what Christ went through. Thanks to Gibson's Passion,
we now can get a more accurate idea. As far as we're concerned,
we will continue to only review film's below an R rating once again, with this film as our only exception.
