Forget the newspaper movie reviews. They won't tell you whether there's a scary scene in an otherwise great kid's movie or if your eight-year-old is better off waiting another year before seeing that new flick. But ReelLifeWithJane.com will. Whenever a new kid's movie comes out, I get a cinematic reality check with Jane Boursaw before I bring my kids to the theater. She has saved my family from the obnoxious, frightening and just plain bad, while steering us toward what's right for my kids - and for me.Jen Singer, creator of Mommasaid.net and blogger of GoodHousekeeping.com's Good Grief!

Less than two hours ago, I left the inaugural film production class at St. Mary's Academy here in Portland, Oregon. I stopped at the bookstore to pick up a copy of “MovieMaker Magazine,” as I was interested in Portland's inclusion in the "Top 10 Cities." What I found was something profoundly serendipitous...your article! In your piece, “Femme Fatales,” you cite Dr. Lauzen's study, which inspired the development and implementation of this program at SMA…Thanks so much for this article and for bringing focus to this problem. I am leaving to go back to the bookstore to purchase another 14 copies for the students!Vikki Mee, Faerie Godmother Fund, Oregon Community Foundation
