Pearl Harbor (PG-13) 

Violence: Definitely Not Suitable
Sexual Content: Medium
Language: Not suitable
Drugs/Alcohol: Mild 


Summary: The movie focuses on the bombing of Pearl Harbor by Japan during WW II, the event that pulled the U.S. into the war. Its sub-plot, deals with a love triangle involving two childhood friends from Tennessee, Rafe McCawley (Ben Affleck) and Danny Walker (Josh Hartnett) who enter the Army Air Corps and both fall in love with the same nurse, Evelyn Johnson (Kate Beckinsale). 

A Knight's Tale (PG-13)

Violence: Medium
Sexual Content: Medium
Language: Medium
Drugs/Alcohol: Mild 


Summary: William Thatcher is a knight's apprentice who dons his newly deceased boss' armor and enrolls in a tournament so that he, and his faithful companions Roland (Mark Addy, of "Full Monty" fame) and Wat (Alan Tudyk), don't starve to death. The problem? He is a mere commoner. 

William decides to continue the masquerade and on the way to another tournament, he and his cohorts run into Geoffrey Chaucer. In exchange for clothes (confiscated due to gambling debts) and some food, Chaucer turns William into Ulrich von Lichtenstein of Gelderland and actually manages to pass him off as nobility. 

Count Adhemar gives von Lichtenstein a run for his money…both in the tournament and in the love story sub plot as they compete for the hand of the punked-out noblewoman Jocelyn. The film focuses on the matches and on the danger that William's bogus persona could be revealed as Ahdemar's patience with the undefeatable hero is stretched to the limit.
