great titles in the
Serious Moms Store!
Screen-It This is the most
comprehensive movie review site I have found. They
categorize every detail of the movie "Sex & Nudity,"
"Violence," etc., and give you a bullet point list
of everything offensive in the movie. We ALWAYS
look at this site before viewing a movie. I will
warn you though, that sometimes there are
advertisements that are not appropriate (strange,
huh?) on the free version--so I recommend looking at
it yourself instead of having your husband look it
up....Also, to get to the free part (instead of
paying for a membership), just scroll down and click
on "No Thanks." This is not a Christian site, but
it is VERY informative and useful.
Christian Spotlight on the Movies This
site is also very good, and we tend to view this one
if we can't find the movie on Screen-It. This site
tends to have a lot of the older movies (that seem
to be cleaner!) that many of the newer sites don't
have.
Parent Previews This site's tagline is
"Helping Families Find Entertainment with Values."
They focus on movies, music and games.
Plugged In Online
"Plugged In is a
Focus on the Family publication designed to help
equip parents, youth leaders, ministers and teens
with the essential tools that will enable them to
understand, navigate and impact the culture in which
they live. Entertainment is a potent influence on
our culture for both good and evil. Through our
reviews and discussions of that entertainment, we
hope to spark intellectual thought, family
discussion, spiritual growth and a strong desire to
follow the command of Colossians 2:8. "See to it
that no one takes you captive through hollow and
deceptive philosophy, which depends on human
tradition and the basic principles of this world
rather than on Christ." "
Internet Movie Database
If you want to find out basic information about a
movie or an actor, this is the site to go to.
I don't recommend children or husbands looking at
this site, as there are some inappropriate photos.
All Media Guide This is a secular
website that contains all of the information you
could possibly ever want to know about particular
movies, games and music. If you're putting together
any kind of fun quizzes for a party, this would be
the site to check out. It is similar to the
Internet Movie Database, but this site does not
bombard you with huge pictures of barely dressed
celebrities. There are small pictures of movie and
CD covers, however, so be careful and do not allow
your children to search through this site.
Music

music I recommend at the

I've Been Missing TV
This is an article I wrote when we were not
watching TV at all. We now watch 2 shows on
TV, and we use rabbit ears to get those channels.
We don't keep a TV in our main living area, it's
upstairs in our bonus room (and 1 in our room). TV
is not a huge part of our life, and we seriously
only limit ourselves to those 2 shows, and nothing
else. I don't judge people who watch TV.
My point in this article was only to say that
there's so much more to life than TV. In our
culture, it is not uncommon for a family to keep the TV
going most of the day--and the TV takes the place of
so many other good things.
