The real problem is not knowing exactly what's coming in a scene. The ratings often don't tell you the whole story.

PS My kids are eleven and under - different story altogether with them.

hard to answer this. I understand there will be some crimes etc., I don't think nudity is a good thing to tolerate
What about review sites like pluggedin.com? I have used them some - taking the time to research is a good plan.

How we deal with this issue? When staggering percentages of Christian households struggle with pornography, are we too soft with this? In general yes. we are too soft on this.

Then there's nudity like that in Schindler's List. Is that different?

Yes, it's different. There is no easy answer. When watching a movie (or after) that conflicts with our world view, or stretches the limits of out principles, I think it's important to voice our thoughts and objections to each other, to solidify our stand and family position.
