Here are the great resources for Christian parents to review a movie before wasting good $$.

Plugged In Online (James Dobson’s “Focus on the Family” movie review)

ChristianityToday Movie Review

Rotten Tomatoes (not a Christian site, but helps you avoid dumb movies)

Kids-In-Mind (pay an annual $12 subscription to this site)

Screen It (another site requiring membership, but solid resource)

IMDB (not a review site, but most popular movie database site)
