Getting Your Family Involved In Your Home Business
Do you own your own home business? Is your family involved with your daily business? Yeah, I know at times it seems easier to just do everything yourself. It is an easy trap to get into. Why take the time to explain the job, show them how it...

Family Movie - Find The Right DVD Movie Club For Your Family
Looking for a good online family movie club or family movie review?
Family movies sell lots of tickets at the box office and every year there are one or more blockbuster movies that are family films.
But with the high price of movie tickets and theatre concessions, watching movies on DVD as a family movie night in the comfort of your own home, is quickly becoming very popular.
Online there are a number of DVD movie clubs that include family movies in their rental libraries, but only a few actually specialize in providing quality family films.
While other companies produce some family movies, none has come close to the huge library of movies that Disney has given us.
Walt Disney brought us Steamboat Willie in 1928 starring Mickey Mouse and in 1973, the Disney Studios gave us Snow White, the first feature length animated movie.
Family Movie - Disney Movie Club
Online the Disney Movie Club offers their signature classic movies, recent releases, preschool videos, sing-a-long video and other popular family choices.
Family Movie Clubs
Other online family movie clubs include Family Pass (formerly known as Mentura) which bills itself as "your ticket to family entertainment." Family Pass carries a wide selection of family movies, television programs, educational and home school videos and spiritual fare. All targeted at a family audience.
Family Movie - Edited Movies
Another popular source of movies suitable for family viewing comes from companies that specialize in editing movies to remove profanity, excessive violence and more adult situations.
Club members can rent the edited, family safe version of popular movies that might otherwise be far less than family friendly.
Online clubs that edit movies include CleanFilms, Flick's Club, Family Edited DVDs and CleanFlix to name a few.
Family Movie - DVD Software Filters
A company called ClearPlay offers DVD software that removes graphic violence, profanity and more adult situations. Movie filters are put together for specific movies and ClearPlay's list continues to grow.
Family Movie Reviews
Online is also a great place to discover
family movie review sites that help parents when it comes to deciding which movies to see in theatres or on DVD.
The Dove Foundation, long a family movie advocate, provides online movie and video reviews. And if you're out shopping for movies or videos at your favorite store, you can look for the Dove Foundation's Seal of Approval (much like the "Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval"). The Dove Foundation's seal is only awarded to movies and videos that meet certain family viewing standards and have been screened and reviewed by Dove Foundation reviewers.
Other family movie reviews available online include The Family Style Movie Guide, Movie Mom, Screen It!, Family Cow, Grading the Movies, Kids-In-Mind, and Ted Baehr's MovieGuide which examines and rates movies from a Christian value stand point.
Family Movie Night
Watching movies at home on DVD as a family movie night has become very popular.
Why spend a small fortune taking your family to see a movie at a theatre when you can have quality fun time in your own home? With a family movie night you control the movies your family sees. No more unpleasant surprises! And you're guaranteed the best seat in the house.
It's easy to join an online movie club that offers family movies or better yet "specializes" in family movies and video.
So take a look at what's on the internet and join a family movie club. Most offer a variety of special benefits to club members that make online club membership very convenient and affordable.
Then pick up some delicious popcorn and some other treats and start the wonderful tradition of family movie night in your home, a tradition you and your children will fondly remember for years to come.
And remember, some of the best and most popular films of all time have been family movies.
