The Lighthouse
The Synopsis: The hypnotic and hallucinatory tale of two lighthouse keepers on a remote and mysterious New England island in the 1890s. The Review: The Lighthouse’s powerful aesthetic may focus, mystify, and nearly drown its audience. Filmed in gorgeous black-and-white with an almost square [...]

Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part Two
The first "Twilight" movie received our Dove Seal but since then it has been either language or violence in the films which prevented us from awarding our Seal to the subsequent movies. In this case it is once again violence which prevents us from doing so for this, the final film in the series. [...]

Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part One
The first "Twilight" movie in this on-going saga received our Dove Seal but the next two did not and, unfortunately, "Breaking Dawn Part One" doesn't get it either.

The Twilight Saga: New Moon
The first "Twilight" film received our Dove "Family-Approved" Seal for ages twelve plus, and with about ten minutes or so to go at the screening I saw, I thought this one might receive it too. Unfortunately, a character told another one to go to H..., and we don't award our Seal to movies which [...]

Dove Approved for Ages 12+

Twilight
Editor's Note - This is a movie about Vampires but has no biblical mockery typically found in this type of picture. The reader is also cautioned that Dove makes no endorsement of the book series where this film finds its roots I have never been a fan of vampire movies, but I must say this was not [...]
