Angels & Demons
Directed by: Ron Howard
Starring: Tom Hanks, Ayelet Zurer, Ewan McGregor, Stellan Skarsgard, Armin Mueller-Stahl
Rated: PG-13 for sequences of violence, disturbing images, and thematic material.
Parental Notes: The violence in this film makes it unsuitable for most youngsters. There's some fairly antiseptic gunplay, but the film also includes people being burned alive and old men branded across the chest.

Blood and Chocolate
Directed by: Katja von Garnier
Starring: Agnes Bruckner, Hugh Dancy, Olivier Martinez
Rated: PG-13 for violence/terror, some sexuality and substance abuse.
Parental Notes: This is a fair PG-13 movie. The substance abuse consists of drinking absinthe. The violence is not overly graphic (you can tell what is happening, but it's not gratuitous).
