The Journal of Religion and Film
From the University of Nebraska at Omaha. Edited by:
William L. Blizek and Ronald R. Burke, Department of Philosophy and Religion. The Journal of Religion and Film examines the description, critique, and embodiment of religion in film. Many films, directly or indirectly, serve a "religious" purpose. Like religions, they present meanings that people give to life. They portray people and the values people embrace in life. The films themselves, then, are a part of the fundamental religious "struggle with the ultimate problems of human life."

Images. A Journal of Film and Popular Culture
Images publishes articles about movies, television, videos, and other popular visual arts.   Images is a quarterly journal, but they add new articles and reviews every week.

Bright Lights Film Journal
a popular-academic hybrid of movie analysis, history, and commentary, looking at classic and commercial, independent,
exploitation, and international film from a wide range of vantage points from the aesthetic to the political. A prime area of focus is on the connection between capitalist society and the images that reflect, support, or subvert it—movies as propaganda.

Film Comment Magazine
A forum for smart, idiosyncratic writing about movies.  Published bimonthly by the Film Society of Lincoln Center, has earned and sustained a reputation as the finest film magazine in the English language.  Every issue is notable for the unusually literate, often elegant, style of its authors.  Brims with provocative, cutting-edge articles about all aspects of the art, entertainment and industry

SHOOT THE MESSENGER
This fantastic Australian web site, now on indefinite hold, sought out the spiritual themes in all types of pop culture -- movies, TV, books, fashion, politics, and more.

THE MOVIE CONCORDANCE
Have you ever tried to remember what scene it was from what movie that illustrated a particular Biblical or spiritual theme? Have you ever wanted a list of cultural perspectives on spiritual themes? This project is a "concordance" of a kind - an attempt to gather together scenes in movies which serve as "comparative texts" in relationship to Biblical/spiritual themes and passages.

CONCERNED PARENT MOVIE REVIEW SITE

Screen It! -The best of its kind
Want to know what your kids will be seeing when they go to a movie? This site contains reviews of all current movies, with summaries of story lines and ratings in 15 categories of interest to parents.

National Catholic Conference Video Reviews
A very good family guide to classification A-1 videos.  Positive without being moralistic.  Print out this list and take it to the video store for good family entertainment.  Reviews lack any spiritual and biblical insights.

THE DOVE FOUNDATION
These reviews do more than just tell parents how unwholesome current movies are, they offer a helpful video alternative at the end of each review that can be used if you want to watch something in a similar vein with less objectionable content.

Plugged In: FOCUS ON THE FAMILY
These reviews for parents are divided into short, skimmable paragraphs describing the film's plot, its morally good elements, its morally bad elements, and a summary telling whether or not the movie is recommended.

GRADING THE MOVIE
Never reviews R-rated. "Be confident you won't be embarrassed or offended the next time you take your family to the movies with our topical family movie reviews of G, PG, and PG-13 films. We tell you what themes to expect, along with our evaluations of violence, sex, language, and drug and alcohol content."

Movie Mom
Reviews for parents of the best of current films and old movies available on video and cable, by Nell Minow, author, film critic, and mother.

A CHRISTIAN SPOTLIGHT ON THE MOVIES  
A mixed bag.
A morality based site that invites reviews from it's viewers.  Some biblical insight.  The central idea here is morality = Christianity, or is it Christianity = morality, I'm not sure, but I disagree with both ideas.

PREVIEW ON-LINE  
A watch dog site with some insight.
Mini moralistic reviews available free. Longer reviews require a minimal subscription.  Great guide for parents. Not very Christ centered, but some biblical insight.  But, you'll certainly find out where all the sex and violence is when you want that sort of thing (or, need to avoid it).  A well done commercial site. Again, the central idea here is morality = Christianity, or is it Christianity = morality, I'm not sure, but I disagree with both ideas.
