Family guide to new movie releases

'F9: THE FAST SAGA'

Rated PG-13 for sequences of violence and action, and language.

What it’s about: This crew is both fast and furious ... you know what this is, it's Torretto's crew back for another wild mission that test the physical, logical and emotional capabilities of motor vehicles.

The kid attractor factor: Teens will definitely be all in for the Diesel-fueled action.

Good lessons/bad lessons: It's all about family, first and foremost.

Violence: Lots of car chases, car crashes, fisticuffs, shooting, action, peril, you name it. Very little blood, as Roman Pearce notes in a very meta moment.

Language: Some swearing and strong language.

Sex: Sexy girls abound, but no graphic sex.

Drugs: None.

Parents’ advisory: This is the kind of cartoonish and bloodless action that's great for teens and older kids who love the blockbuster excitement, but it's too violent for little kids.

'FALSE POSITIVE'

Rated R for disturbing/bloody images, sexual content, graphic nudity and language.

What it’s about: A woman attempting to get pregnant has a horrific experience with a charismatic fertility doctor.

The kid attractor factor: Not much, this is an arty horror film about pregnancy. Maybe some teens who enjoy the genre or star Ilana Glazer.

Good lessons/bad lessons: Always trust your intuition.

Violence: Some gory fight scenes.

Language: Some swearing and strong language.

Sex: A sex scene between husband and wife, some pornographic footage, female nudity.

Drugs: None.

Parents’ advisory: Okay for teens who might interested in the horror genre but not suitable for children.
