AblePlay's independent toy reviews and detailed information helps parents get "beyond the box" to understand each toy's unique features, creative ways each toy can be used with children with special needs and skills that will be enhanced as a result. Joining their AblePlayers Club™ is a way for parents to get even more information about toys and play for children with special needs.

I like this because it includes reviews of films yet to be released. That way parents can be ready when their kids ask to see Toy Story 3 in 2009.

This is primarily about B-movies that pop up at 3am on TBS. But with as a much TV as kids have access to, there are some really bad/funny movies in here that could used as a Family Movie Night.

Exists to assist gamers and parents in making wise decisions in their choice of electronic games. Many games contain objectionable material, behavior and attitudes. Although some game companies provide a simple rating system, it is not based on a Christian worldview. Not current, but useful.

This is very mainstream/commercial. But it’s good. Nell Minow's articles about children and media have appeared in USA Today, Slate, Parents, Child, Daughters, and three editions of The Practical Guide to Practically Everything. She writes the Media Mom column for the Chicago Tribune and reviews movies every week on radio stations across the United States and in Canada.

Founded in 1989 as the only independent consumer review of children's media. Test and review products for children the year-round-only we get to do what most parents wish they could do before they buy. We open the toys, run the videos, read the books, play the music, and boot up the software. We send the best of these products on to our families of testers for further evaluation.

I really like this site. Thing is, there’s a free version and a subscriber version. This one’s free. If you go to www.screenit.com, it’s the pay $ version that gives you a sample of what you’d get. The free one is fine, but looks like you’ll get more info/longer synopsis, etc, if you subscribe. Naturally.

The homepage is www.reel.com but is so full of too much media info, I’ve linked you directly to the Parent Guide start page. Very usable and covers all the bases. Specific Kids Movies links, too.
