The
Movie Reporter
Emphasizing that you "Know Before You
Go", Phil Boatwright has been writing film reviews from a Christian perspective for more than fifteen years. Delivered to your email address, this subscription basis service is ideal for churches and individuals. Phil offers his opinion, synopsis, and content for popular movies so you can decide about the suitability for your family. If you don't require reviews on current
releases, take advantage of over 1,000 "past reviews" of movies and videos. One helpful feature of past reviews is his "video alternative" where he suggests a better choice for your viewing. Also, check out his new book, "How To Choose A Good Video Every Time!", that includes subjects such as "Countering Hollywood's Influence", choosing a great movie for a date, and videos to enjoy with your kids.
Family Flix
Family Flix provides an innovative service by editing movies to make them
more family-friendly. Their extensive list of movies offers great
entertainment, free from much of the offensive language and graphic
scenes.

Dr. Ted Baehr, an award-winning producer, writer, director, radio
personality, and scholar, is the driving force behind Movie Guide. He is
