Is This Movie PG, PG-13, or R?
A generation ago, full-gospel, fundamentalists, and many evangelicals preached of the perils of the Hollywood, movie industry. Attending a movie with even the slightest bit of questionable content was forbidden. But that has changed in only one generation. Nowadays to even suggest that a Christian should avoid a movie would draw an accusation of being a legalist. But the evidence is leaning in the direction that our moral standards continue to be compromised by many who profess faith in Christ.
This article is thought provoking. It clearly shows how "ratings creep" has affected the decision making of many people, christian and non-christian, to watch movies that would have made a previous generation blush, or just plain walk out of the theater.

I am encouraged to see that the movie industry is making an effort to clarify the rating systems of movies. However, I believe it is the parent's responsibility to shield their children from the mature and inappropriate content in most of today's films. The article claims that parents are having a hard time finding out whether or not a film is appropriate before taking their child to see it, but I think that is a cop-out. There are plenty of websites that explain exactly what is in a film. And, when that fails, wait until the movie comes out on video and then watch it with your child.
