Family guide to new movie releases

'SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME'

Rated PG-13 for sci-fi action violence, some language and brief suggestive comments.

What it's about: The follow-up to "Spider-Man: Homecoming" follows Peter Parker and pals on a European tour, where they encounter the Elemental monsters and the mysterious Mysterio.

The kid attractor factor: It's a Spider-Man movie? Comic/superhero!

Good lessons/bad lessons: You know what they always say: With great power comes great responsibility, and in a post-Avengers world, Spider-Man is looking to unload some of the burden of responsibility.

Violence: Some action violence _ destruction of cities, etc. Nothing too gory, but a few violent images and blood.

Language: Some instances of swearing.

Sexuality: References to teen sexuality/kissing, etc.

Drugs: None.

Parents advisory: This superhero flick is fun, youthful and refreshingly light. Great for the whole family but too scary for younger kids.

'MIDSOMMAR'

Rated R for disturbing ritualistic violence and grisly images, strong sexual content, graphic nudity, drug use and language.

What it's about: A group of American grad students travel to Sweden for a midsommar celebration and find themselves immersed in an isolated world of bloody, disturbing folkloric rituals.

The kid attractor factor: Coming from "Hereditary" director Ari Aster, there isn't much in the way of attraction for kids.

Good lessons/bad lessons: Let that toxic relationship just go. Also beware friendly Swedes bearing gifts.

Violence: Some gory body horror and disturbing bloody images. Murder, suicide and ritualistic mayhem.

Language: Some swearing.

Sexuality: Graphic nudity and sex.

Drugs: On screen consumption of magic mushrooms and other mysterious hallucinogenics.

Parents advisory: This disturbing ritual cult film is not for the faint of heart or stomach, or kids. Mature teens only.
