Catholic Movie Reviews
I know my family is always looking for more Catholic reviews of movies and media, but it typically isn't easy to find. However, I was introduced to Plugged In Online the other day. It has started as an excellent place to go for detailed (and I mean detailed) reviews that outline exactly what the content is of a movie. This is particularly great for Catholic families deciding which movies their children (or even teens) can and can't see. So, next time you're interested in a movie, check it out here.
God bless,
Jay

Greetings:
I'm sorry for approaching you in this way but I couldn't find your email address. I am running a workshop for religious teachers and preachers on using blogs, wikis and podcasts to spread the word. I'm hoping that you might help me market this workshop. More information about it can be found at:

Thank you very much.

I agree that Pluggedin Online is an excellent resource. My blog at www.catholicfamilymovierevies.com has links to other good resources for movie reviews for Catholic families, as well as my own reviews. The best Catholic reviews out there are by Steven Greydanus at www.decentfilms.com.
The reviews from the film office of the US Bishops, while sometimes worth consulting, are, unfortunately, sometimes way off base. For example, Harry Forbes, the head of that office, originally published a favorable review and rating on its behalf of Brokeback Mountain, which had to be withdrawn and replaced after it drew a storm of protest. He also recently gave a favorable rating to the movie version of The Golden Compass, whose author has said in one interview that "I'm trying to undermine the basis of Christian belief" (Washington Post, February 19, 2001) and in another that "[m]y books are about killing God." (Sidney Morning Post, December 13, 2003).
