iTunes Movie Trailers
by Apple
There are other apps that do the same thing as iTunes trailers, but I prefer this one because of its sleek interface and HD presentation. You can also hop directly from the trailer to a listing of theaters near you that are showing the film and be sent straight to the theater website to buy tickets. It doesn't get much easier than that.

Kids In Mind - Movie Reviews for Families
by Stevenson Software, LLC
Looking to get out and see a film but you are looking for something the whole family can enjoy? With The Kids In Mind app you can do your research before booking those tickets online. The ridiculously thorough guide breaks down movies on a 1-10 rating scale for attributes in language, sex and violence. On top of that the app leaves no stone unturned in describing any and all scenes that may be questionable to the discriminating guardian. Even seemingly trivial events in Disney films are labeled for such things as alcohol use (Gaston swinging brews at the pub), and Belle kissing the Prince are mentioned. The point is that you know exactly what to expect when you take the youngsters to see a film. I personally enjoyed looking up notoriously controversial films just to see the long listing of offenses, but I digress.
