Family guide to new movie releases
Published in Parenting News
'DUNE: PART TWO'
Rated PG-13 for sequences of strong violence, some suggestive material and brief strong language.
What it’s about: The sequel to the epic "Dune" follows Paul Atreides on Arrakis as he becomes one with the Fremen and accepts his destiny.
The kid attractor factor: Older kids and teens will be drawn to the big sci-fi spectacle.
Good lessons/bad lessons: Choices must always be made, whether it's what you want to do or not.
Violence: Fighting and violence throughout. Explosions, bombing, artillery warfare, shooting, knife fights. Nothing too gory.
Language: Some strong language.
Sex: Allusions to sex, no nudity.
Drugs: Just the hallucinogenic spice.
Parents’ advisory: This is fine for older kids and teens who love heavy-duty sci-fi.

'PROBLEMISTA'
Rated R for some language and sexual content.
What it’s about: A young immigrant from El Salvador, with dreams of becoming a toy designer, finds himself in a complicated relationship with an art critic.
The kid attractor factor: This is more of an indie comedy, not much appeal for kids.
Good lessons/bad lessons: It's OK to become the problem sometimes.
Violence: Just emotional violence.
Language: Language throughout.
Sex: References to sex and sex work.
Drugs: None
Parents’ advisory: This is a bit emotionally complex and mature for kids. But nothing too objectionable in terms of material.
