For reviews and

violence, adult situations and cursing, please take a look at www.commonsensemedia.org. I have used this website often for children's movies, books and television shows. This gives me a good review, also provides parent's reviews of movies. What I like best, is knowing what to expect when I take my kids to the movies.
If you have an event that you would like included in an upcoming column, please send an email with all of the event details to: familyfuninswmi@gmail.com
