“Jurassic World”

Rating: PG-13 for intense sequences of science-fiction violence and peril.

What it’s about: A popular theme park has its murderous new attraction bust out and start eating the guests. Again.

The kid attractor factor: Dinosaurs running amok, faced by that Guardian of the Galaxy Chris Pratt.

Good lessons/bad lessons: “Life is the acceptance that you are never actually in control.” “A promise tomorrow is a lot less than trying today.”

Violence: Graphic, gruesome and disturbing death-by-dinosaurs.

Language: Scattered bits of profanity.

Sex: Flirtation, a kiss or two.

Drugs: None.

Parents’ advisory: More violent than the “Jurassic Park” movies, quite violent for a kids’ film — take the rating seriously, OK for 13-and-up.

“Spy”

Rating: R for language throughout, violence, and some sexual content including brief graphic nudity.

What it’s about: A CIA office worker is sent to Europe, into “the field,” to foil the sale of a nuclear bomb.

The kid attractor factor: Melissa McCarthy, in action and out of her depth.

Good lessons/bad lessons: It’s not “Well-behaved women often make history,” it’s “Well-behaved women SELDOM make history.”

Violence: Deaths, gun play, knife-fights.

Language: Turns quite potty-mouthed in the third act.

Sex: Nudity, comical groping.

Drugs: Alcohol.

Parents’ advisory: Too violent and profane for the very young, OK for 15-and-up.
