We do test runs of renting videos or parents are going to the movies before we own them.  Good example i.e. "Blade 2".  Me and my husband saw that one.  If I refuse to own it then I'm not letting my kids watch it.  But we let them watch "Blade" very rarely.

For that matter, give him the damned book! Heinlein's "Starship Troopers"
was a heck of a lot better than that dreck on film - and perfectly suitable
for younger sci-fi fans.

I've readed "Starship Troopers".  2nd edition 1969?  Very old copy.  Not letting them handle that just yet.  Pretty bad when I'm going though the movie and pointing out all the differences.  Habit of reading books before the movies are out.  I spoiled a few for myself.
