Mini reviews of new movies from a family perspective

'SAW V'

• Rating: R for sequences of grisly, bloody violence and torture.

• What it's about: Cops and a new crew of kidnap victims try to unravel the mystery of the mysterious, murderous and self-righteous "mutilate yourself or die" villain, Jigsaw.

• The kid attractor factor: Visceral horror.

• Good lessons/bad lessons: You can't live your life looking out only for yourself.

• Violence: Not quite constant.

• Language: Not as much profanity as you'd expect.

• Sex: Not a bit.

• Drugs: None.

• Parents' advisory: Beware when your teen says, "Me and the gang wanna see some torture porn."

'ZACH AND MIRI MAKE A PORNO'

• Rating: R for vile language, including sexual references, brief nudity and drug content.

• What it's about: The title is truth in advertising.

• Good lessons/bad lessons: Sex between friends changes everything.

• Violence: None.

• Language: Lots and lots of profanity.

• Sex: As graphic as an R will allow. And then some.

• Drugs: Pot.

• Parents' advisory: Don't let your kids fool you with the TV-commercial title, "Zack and Miri." "Sophomoric" can mean "if they're not sophomores, they're too young to see this trash."
