Discernment in Media links

In the spirit of our current series, one of the TIGS parents recently emailed me with some "Discernment in Media" resources that you may find helpful. This parent gave me permission to quote, so here it is, with some slight edits:

Just wanted to pass on a great resource and article. Focus on the Family has a great website and especially their entertainment section features reviews of current movies and hundreds of DVDs accessible by alphabetical order and genre. We often check these out before seeing or renting a film. They cover good and bad, and detail about violence, language, sexual and spiritual content.

Also, there is a link to the article "'Just a Little Bad' in Movies Can Be Harmful."

I echo this parents' words: Focus on the Family's entertainment section (namely, Plugged In Online) has been very helpful for me personally (I also often look at Plugged In before seeing a film so I can see what kind of content issues there are), so I also encourage you to check it out!
