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. |

Story about the city editor (Michael Keaton) of a New York
tabloid which badly needs a scoop. Marisa Tomei and Glenn Close co-star.
SEX/NUDITY 4 - Marisa Tomei's nude pregnant abdomen is shown; she is prepped
for a Caesarean, but no flesh is revealed. Glenn Close and a co-worker are shown in bed
after an afternoon rendezvous, and there is some nudity (not full frontal, though).
VIOLENCE/GORE 4 - A bloody body is found sitting in a car. A man and a woman
slug and scrape each other. A woman gets winged in the leg by an errant gun shot.
PROFANITY 5 - The F-word is used about ten times. Other profanities are also
sprinkled about. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Family vs. work priorities. The question of ethics arises
when a man steals a hot item from the desk of the rival paper. The ethics of police
jailing two innocent blacks when there are no other suspects also is questioned.
MESSAGE - The truth is the best copy.

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. |
