If your home is anything like mine, there is a constant battle waged over media entertainment. The kids want to watch the latest cool/hyped movie or DVD oblivious to the negative elements that it may contain. As fathers, it is our responsibility to judge whether or not it is appropriate for them to watch. Here are some resources that we can use to get detailed reviews of movies and other media, including specifics of what kind of objectionable material is present. These are invaluable for making informed decisions.
The only advice I would give is to talk over the reasons (especially with teenagers) why you have decided that a particular movie is unacceptable, rather than just saying "because I said so". This will help them to understand your reasoning and develop their own sense of media choice.
