Tom Hardy, left, and Joel Edgerton star as estranged brothers in “Warrior.” See the full review in today's GO! Magazine.

‘Warrior’

Rating: PG-13 for sequences of intense mixed martial arts fighting, some language and thematic material.

What it’s about: Two estranged brothers, veterans of the fight game, get back into mixed martial arts and brawl their way toward a confrontation in the ring.

The kid attractor factor: Mixed martial arts is the new hacky sack, right?

Good lessons/bad lessons: All any of us really want out of life is forgiveness.

Violence: Bloody, personal, brutal.

Language: Some profanity.

Sex : Not really.

Drugs: Cigarettes, booze.

Parents’ advisory: It’s a “finish with the big fight” boxing movie reset for the newer sport of mixed martial arts. Too violent for the very young, but OK for 12 and older.

‘Contagion’

Rating: PG-13 for disturbing content and some language.

What it’s about: A new virus spreads far and wide and kills millions, and scientists try to stop it.

The kid attractor factor: It’s like a horror movie, with a virus instead of chain saws.

Good lessons/bad lessons: Hand sanitizers are your friends.

Violence: Death by convulsion, riots.

Language: A smattering of profanity

Sex: Adultery is discussed.

Drugs: Alcohol, herbal remedies and vaccines.

Parents’ advisory: Chilling and a little clinical, the images of a child dying make this too disturbing for the PG crowd. Suitable for 10 and older.

‘Seven Days In Utopia’

Rating: G

What it’s about: A young golfer loses his cool on the course and retreats to a small town for a little on- and off-the-course mentoring.

The kid attractor factor: Golf, cattle country humor, a taste of rural America

Good lessons/bad lessons: “Gifts aren’t meant to be repaid, they’re meant to be passed on.”

Violence: None

Language: Disney clean

Sex: Flirtations

Drugs: None

Parents’ advisory: A mild-mannered, faith-based film that goes easy on the preaching, this may not hold the interest of younger kids. Suitable for 10 and older.

‘Spy Kids 4: All the Time in the World’

Rating: PG for mild action and rude humor

What it’s about: Kids are called on to spy when their secret-agent mom gets into a fix.

The kid attractor factor: Spying kids experienced in “4D,” aka 3-D plus “Aroma-Scope” scratch-and-sniff cards.

Good lessons/bad lessons: Wasting time is a major crime — to some.

Violence: Slapstick

Language: Pretty clean, aside from jokes about bowel movements and vomit

Sex: Nary a hint

Drugs: None

Parents’ advisory: Harmless enough to be suitable for all ages, though the gimmicky 3-D and scratch-and-sniff cards aren’t worth the extra admission costs.

‘Rise of the Planet of the Apes’

Rating: PG-13 for intense and frightening sequences of action and violence.

What it’s about: The apes break free from their cages and revolt against humanity.

The kid attractor factor: Action — and lots of it — and the presence of the eternally boyish James Franco.

Good lessons/bad lessons: “It is appropriate to be afraid of chimpanzees.”

Violence: Animal cruelty, shootings, beatings, a little blood

Language: Pretty clean for an action film.

Sex: None

Drugs: Beer is consumed.

Parents’ advisory: A violent, thoughtful and somewhat family-friendly action film, this one may be too intense for 10 and younger.
