What I really like, though, are their blow-by-blow (as it were) reviews. Without giving the story away, Kids In Mind lists each item for which they screen in chronological order. For example, this is the list provided for the sex/nudity score for the recent Sherlock Holmes.
SEX/NUDITY 4 - A woman kisses a man passionately. A man and a woman hug and she kisses his neck.
► A woman is shown wearing a towel wrapped around her (bare shoulders and back are visible) while a man is in the room with her; she lowers the towel and we see her bare back to the hip. Women wear low-cut dresses that reveal cleavage in a few scenes. We see three small nude male statues in the background (bare chests and genitals are visible). We see shirtless men boxing each other. A woman bound on an altar is in a trance, she is writhing and cleavage is evident. We see a man taking a bath (nothing is visible).
► A man is in bed, handcuffed to the headboard, we can see his chest and legs and a small pillow is hiding his crotch; a chambermaid enter the room, he tells her, "Beneath this pillow lies the key to my release," and she runs away. A man says, "I've woken up in handcuffs naked before."
► A man talks about his son being conceived in a ceremony and that his mother was not the man's wife.
I love that this review just provides facts without value judgments. It gives me the information I need to be as stringent or as lenient as I want to be with no guilt tripping. It also gives me information that helps me determine if I want to see the movie, especially since I happen to enjoy action films, but not films that depict torture, and the two are increasingly found together.
