Here's their review of Half Blood Prince:

With a final score of 51, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is a R-PG, folks. That means this film, rated PG by the once-useful Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), earned a CAP Final Score in the range of scores earned by R-rated films (54 and below out of 100) in the comparative baseline database of film analyses. The final score of 51 places this film at the high end of scores in the range of scores earned by R-rated films but in that range nonetheless. Out of the more than 1200 films we've analyzed for you so far there have been very few that earned R-PG, but this one surely is.

R-PG? Has anyone seen Red Dawn (1984)? In it Patrick Swayze as Jed told Matt (Charlie Sheen), "Matt! RPG!" Jed, the leader of the Wolverines, an adolescent military-styled civilian counterforce to the invading Communists, ordered Matt to launch a RPG at the invading Russians. "RPG" means Rocket-Propelled Grenade. Something dies when a RPG explodes. The "R-PG" influence of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince may "explode" some day during the moral development of children who watch it, killing some of their parent-taught and Bible-taught teachings and values. Especially in the area of the perception of and degree of embracement of witchcraft and sorcery by the child(ren) thus distancing themselves from God's Holy Word and inherently from God Himself. They may end up thinking just like the characters in the film: that magic is good if it used for good whether by a witch or an angel. Wrong!

...

The powers portrayed as possessed by the characters of this film were witchcraft, sorcery wizardry and so on which are not from God. How could God, who cannot sin, give to someone that which He condemns? Even if the power is used for what we perceive to be goodness, if the power is not from God it is not good. I suspect I've said that quite enough now.

The story in the film was not of good versus evil. It was evil versus evil, one of the slickest ways to make some of evil look good. One more thought on the subject -- there is no such thing as a "good witch." This and all other films like it are demonic examples of violations of Isa. 5:20 which warns of woe for those who call evil good and good evil.

If all the witchcraft, sorcery and wizardry content of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince were ignored by the CAP analysis the film would have earned a final score of 71 which would have placed it close to the bottom of the scoring range (68 to 86 out of 100) earned by PG-rated films. Maybe the MPAA does not consider content such as sorcery and witchcraft as offensive since they rated it PG ... but God does.

...

There is clear and inarguable mockery of Scriptures concerning the Bible-established appellations for Jesus. Each of the previous Potter films have been stepping stones building up to this. ... Jesus has always been the Chosen One ... until now. Harry Potter is now the Chosen One (yes, the film capitalizes both words of the term). Heaven help us.

Sexual Immorality (S) - 91 out of 100
Though not incorporated into the scoring of the content found by this investigation area I found it quite peculiar of the writer to use the name "Nymphadora" since "nymph" is short for one who is a victim of nymphomania which is uncontrollable or excessive sexual desires in a woman. I wondered if it might have something to do with "nymph" but the character, Nymphadora Tonks (Natalia Tena) had no relationship to bugs nor was she portraying a spirit of nature which inhabits rivers or woods. I suspect the intent of using "Nymphadora" is clear.

To the point. Objectively the only matters of a sexual nature in the entire show were a pair of teens sneaking off to seclusion to make out, an anatomical reference, a group of teens making out in the hallways of the school and Cormac McLaggen (Freddie Stroma) wanting to be introduced to Hermoine "to get to know her on a first name basis ... ya know what I mean" with a wink in his eye. I almost included a passionate kiss between Weasley and his girlfriend but that is all it was notwithstanding the passion demonstrated. If it had been one of those gaping face kisses typical in Hollywood for-teens flicks it would have earned its rightful place in the scoring distribution. But alas their faces were not seen during the kiss and "gaping-face" could not be determined

...

Now comes "butterbeer." Butterbeer is a Tudor concoction made from egg yolks, sugar, nutmeg, butter ... and beer.[1] It was freely available the adolescent population of this film. There was no mention in the film whether the butterbeer had any alcoholic content but neither was there any mention of the alcoholic content of the wine or the mead (fermented honey and water) offered by Professor Slughorn to a gathering of Hogwarts students, adolescents all. If one does an internet search on "butterbeer recipe" one will get thousands of pages. All the pages I viewed showed butterbeer as an alcoholic drink and most of them associated the butterbeer with Harry Potter™. One of those pages even asks "Does Hogwarts have a teen drinking problem."

The world of alcohol has now invaded the children in Harry Potter™ And your kids will be "drinking it up." Though I did not observe it in the film of the fifth book, in the book the house Elf Winky apparently gets very drunk on butterbeer. So, there is no doubt that butterbeer is an alcoholic beverage -- given to children in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Hogwarts does have a "teen drinking problem." Gotta get as much of the "worldly pleasures" as possible into these "kids' shows", right? Gotta get those kids acquainted with the "real world"[2] as soon as possible whether mom/dad likes it or not, right? Fer cryin' out loud, that is what kids want in their entertainment diet, right? Just like any other block of entertainment targeted at adolescents that demonstrates alcoholic consumption, Harry Potter™ is apparently now part of the fuel for teen drinking.

...

Murder/Suicide (M) - 88 out of 100
As in other Potter installations, murder is a climactic presence in the story. First some demons/witches cause uncountable deaths by collapsing a city footbridge over a river (ostensibly the Themes), <<< SPOLIER >>> Hagrid is burned to death (unseen) by a witch and the Half-Blood Prince, Severus Snape, loyal to Voldemort, murders Dumbledore by zapping him with high-voltage magic, knocking Dumbledore off a high-rise floor to plummet to his death on the floors of Hogwarts. Shortly after that scene was a scene of the Hogwarts trio looking over the land ... a perfect "super hero" setting for continuation of this evil with the trio as the main force of evil to fight the evil of the dark lord.

The review of Sin City is particularly entertaining...

Lol Narnia got a even worse score. I always thought people liked Narnia for being a Jesus-y work? My pastor seemed to be all over it.

And wow, they even disapprove of Toy Story.

The only sexually-oriented content of Toy Story was a quite suggestive character called "Legs" which is a pair of adult human female-looking legs attached to (I think) a yo-yo, making it a walking yo-yo. That would seem innocuous enough but the "bare skin" legs did not stop at what would be the hemline of, say, a pair of street shorts. Shading and shadowing was used a couple times to augment the gluteal musculature.

This isn't a joke or something that I'm not getting, is it? >.>

I lol'd. When will the fundamentalist Christians get that Harry Potter can actually be seen as an allegory for the story of Jesus? They can't seem to get past the "never suffer a witch to live" line in the Bible. It's pretty hilarious.

Edit: Lawl, they gave Aeon Flux a "Light PG-13," (almost PG) but Harry Potter gets an R? Apparently God hates witchcraft more than sex and violence. I guess the message in this is: go out and screw yourself silly and kill everyone, but don't even think about Harry Potter or you'll go to hell.

They also didn't care for the South Park movie...

South Park is an incredibly dangerous movie for those who do not understand or are developing an understanding of the Gospel ....... INCREDIBLY dangerous! Some of the scenes in South Park reminded me so much of the image of demons screeching and dancing around a boiling cauldron as Satan gleefully looks on from the background as the demons pitch soul after soul after soul into the burning cauldron.

Holy crap. These guy's are so delusional that if I didn't know better I'd think that they were all trolling.

Lol. I have Web Of Trust on Firefox, and when I tried to read the review of Sin City, WOT tried to stop me, saying the site had a poor reputation.
