Rated: PG-13 for sci-fi action and violence, and brief sexual content.

The Forbidden Kingdom
Directed by: Rob Minkoff
Starring: Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Michael Angarano, Collin Chou, Yifei Liu
Rated: PG-13 for sequences of martial arts action and some violence.
Parental Notes: Parents of impressionable children should note that this film is packed with martial arts stunts. Children who are likely to attempt to imitate these stunts without the safety precautions used by the actors (harnesses, wires, etc) should probably be left at home.

The Bourne Ultimatum
Directed by: Paul Greengrass
Starring: Matt Damon, Julia Stiles, David Strathairn, Joan Allen,
Rated: PG-13 for violence and intense sequences of action.
Parental Notes: This is about the same as the two previous films in terms of violence -- car chases and crashes, hand-to-hand combat, and some use of guns. The violence is fairly bloodless, but the sequences are long and intense. There's very little in the way of sensuality except for a flashback to a scene from the first film.

Rated: R for strong violence, pervasive language, sexuality, nudity and drug use.
Parental Notes: Teenagers will likely enjoy this madhouse of action, but parents may be concerned about the irreverence and casual public sex and drug use in the film.
