ASSIGNED NUMBERS |
|
|
Unlike the MPAA we do not assign one inscrutable rating based on age, but 3 objective ratings for SEX/NUDITY, VIOLENCE/GORE and PROFANITY on a scale of 0 to 10, from lowest to highest, depending on quantity and context. |

Joe Pesci stars as a man who desperately wants to become a
Hollywood star.
SEX/NUDITY 2 - One brief bedroom scene: a quick roll on the bed, and nothing
is seen. Some poolside bathing suits.
VIOLENCE/GORE 2 - A man dies in a shoot-out -- but it's a flight of fantasy.
It does seem real, however, and there's blood. There is also a scuffle in a car and
someone else gets shot.
PROFANITY 6 - The F-word several times, as well as an assortment of other
milder profanities. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Dreams vs. reality, the deterioration of urban areas and the
rise in crime.
MESSAGE - A man's home is his castle, and must be defended.

A CAVEAT: We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and some of our early standards were not as stringent as they are now. We therefore need to revisit many older reviews, especially those written prior to 1998 or so; please keep this in mind if you're consulting a review from that period. While we plan to revisit and correct older reviews our resources are limited and it is a slow, time-consuming process. |
