List of My Christian Movie Reviews
Have you ever gone to see a movie with your kids and then realized you made a huge mistake? I originally started writing reviews because I wanted Christian parents to realize exactly the content that their children would be seeing, so I started to do Christian Movie Reviews. Eventually, I began to add in content for the child with autism. In fact, this post will include links to all the Movie Reviews that I have done over the last 15 years.
Additionally, I have explained the criteria I use to do the movie reviews and how I outline the movies. What are the items that I look for when I am watching a movie? What type of things that children may respond negatively to? I will first list all the Disney Movies Reviews that I have done, and then after that, I will list the non-Disney ones in alphabetical order.
