How to avoid "uh-oh" moments at the movies

Any of you ever get to a movie and your enjoying it when all of sudden you have an "uh-oh" moment? Or you start hearing really bad language or just didn't realize it was NOT a family film?

Or, most importantly you're like me and don't like to hear Gods name blasphemed or hear the 4 letter word that begins with the letter after E. I notice that films that used to be rated r are now getting pg-13 and pg-13 are getting pg ratings. I have learned to not go by a worldly rating system from Hollywood that will not acknowledge Jesus but is quick to write scripts blaspheming His name.

Quick example: a movie from 2010 called Extraordinary Measures starring Brendan Fraser and Harrison Ford http://www.pluggedin.com/videos/2010/q2/extraordinarymeasures.aspx is rated by our "reliable" Motion Picture Association of America or MPAA as PG.

PG as defined by MPAA PG -- "Parental Guidance Suggested. Some Material May Not Be Suitable For Children": The Rating Board applies this rating when the members believe the film contains themes or content that parents may find inappropriate for younger children. The film can contain some profanity, violence or brief nudity, but only in relatively mild intensity. A PG film should not include drug use. http://entertainment.howstuffworks.com/question467.htm

So according to pluggedin.com this is what language is in Extraordinary Measures: About a dozen s-words. Sporadically used, a collection of other curse words includes "h‑‑‑," "d‑‑n," "a‑‑hole" and "b‑‑ch." God's name is misused eight or 10 times; it's paired with "d‑‑n" once. Jesus' name is abused a half-dozen times.

UH-OH! I was disappointed because I like both actors and really wanted to see this movie. The previews made it look great!
Doesnt match up does it.

There is a company called clear play that will edit content from movies. I recommend this.

This is an example. I say all this to say the Bible says to be wise. God is the standard not man. And the less godless we are as I have stated in my previous blog the less any of our "standards" will align with His.
Here are links to the websites I use. The first two are apps in the App store and Android Market. The third is very browser friendly.
Avoid those "uh-oh" moments with these links. May have to copy paste or manually type.

Again we have no excuse. Sodom had no Bible, churches, Christian music, Christian book store and didn't even know who Jesus was and God destroyed those cities. We are so much more liable than they. Please use wisdom. AVOID UH-OH MOMENTS. The Bible says in Ephesians 4:29 Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth. The New Living Translation says Dont use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and useful. It also means to not subjectively listen to this as well.

Its what I do,
