Short Reviews from one Concerned Parent to Another …
THE BOOK OF LIFE – PG – SPLAT for infusing a fun and colorful kids 
movie with pagan traditions of the afterlife, rooted in the Mexican holiday “Day of the Dead”… then adding just enough Christian symbolism to make it acceptable to American audiences.
THE BEST OF ME – PG13 – SPLAT for a love story that teaches that pre-marital sex and 
adultery are ok as long as the couple really love each other and the guy the girl is married to is a real jerk. Bad Morals = Bad Movie.
ALEXANDER AND THE … BAD DAY – PG – STAR for being a fun, funny, sweet, well-
written and well-acted family movie that harkens back to the days of classic Disney comedies.
FURY – R – SPLAT for non-stop bloody violence and the dark side of humanity on both sides of the war. Any good lessons about the
true heroes that fought for our freedom are buried beneath the blood and guts.

I still have hopes for Book of the Dead, as I take a more multi-cultural approach. I guess, for me, the homage to Mexican culture is more important than religious content.
