Family guide to new movie releases

"LOGAN"

Rated R for strong brutal violence and language throughout, and for brief nudity.

What it's about: The last hurrah for Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, this gritty character study takes place in a near future where Logan has to take care of a younger charge.

The kid attractor factor: The X-Men brand loyalty and familiarity with the comic book, as well as film franchise. New child star Dafne Keen playing Laura.

Good lessons/bad lessons: Tell the people you love you care about them, take care of others more vulnerable than you, always fight the good fight.

Violence: Wow. Yes, there is so, so, so much violence, especially violence perpetrated by a small girl. Logan and charge Laura slice, dice, decapitate, and stab with an unparalleled fury and it's all seen on screen. This movie pulls no punches _ be forewarned, it's extremely violent and gory.

Language: Strong language throughout the film, even from Professor X!

Sexuality: Very little, some veiled references.

Drugs: Drinking

Parents advisory: This is not your average X-Men movie _ keep the kids at home for this one, it's just too dark and too violent. OK for older teens.
